The White House Wedding.
Whlto House weddings have beei
I'nfrcquent enough to excite kenn na
tional interest, each, of course, evok
ing a very lively and hearty benedic
tion from the people. Americans
claim thai right of a personal concern
for the lovo affairs of Its "first fam
ilies," and to exercise real solicitude
In their climax at the' altar. They
are curious t know all the details
touching the preparations and the
ceremony; to know Just what tho
brldo Is going to wear, how she bears
her stately self, the presents she re
ceives, how big tho cake is and bow
much tho turkey weighed.
And why not? A wedding Is a
wedding and a Whlto House brido is
o higher in the estate of love and
matrimony than tho most lowly ot
the land. So, at this latest of White
House bridal functions the homage
of a ptoplo Is expressed, perhaps
quite markedly because of Its rather
simplo character. Home folks and
collogo friends chiefly mako up tho
guest list, which Includes enough of
officialdom to bo polite, but the pre
vailing nlr is of tho homeliko sim
plicity that Americana like most,
lioth brldo and groom may be as
eurcd that every good American
wishes them Joy.
Drifting.
If any conclusion can b0 formed
in regard to the attitude of the ad
ministration In regard to Mexican
affairs It must be that it has enterod
on a period of inactivity and becomo
infected with tho "manana" habit of
tho Mexicans, that hopeful confldonco
that tomorrow will bring forth some
thing better than today. The pre
Ident seerna determined on a policy
of waiting for the settlement of the
Mexican situation through internal
developments, but tho position of the
administration before the world
Is
decidedly embarrassing. It has been
as very aptly expressed by onb in
official circles, like the touching off
of a great big firecracker with
damp fuse. There have been many
thrills while th administration haa
been scratching the matches and
lighting tho fuse. But the fire
cracker after a fow puffs and splut
tera is still there intact.
Tho Impression Is reluctantly ac
cepted that tho administration has
no doflnlto plan for accomplishing its
avowed purpose of getting Huerta
out of the prealdeacy. The attempt
haa hae made in several dlftereat
ways, each of whkh has failed. Th
patience of the administration la
dealing with the Mexican situation is
to he eommended, and it is true that
the country would demand very good
reasons for intervention la Mexico,
and heaea this eoaalderatlea is re-
sponsible for a disposition to aeeept
maay anpleasaat thlags, but the Su
ropoaa governments consider otar at
titude a (contributing cause la the
death of many ot thoir eltlaeaa in
Mexico and look to us In the name ot
civilisation and 'humanity to put a
stop to tho disorders. Oa the other
hand, Huerta haa flaunted detlanco
la tho faco ot the United State by
permitting tho newly elected congress
to meet and proclaim in his mee
sage to that congress, "Thero Is no
danger of war, as tho Ualtod States
never really doea anything."
The present purpoao of tho admin
istration appears to m to force
Huerta Into financial bankruptcy and
weaken his power by invoking the as
sistance ot the European natlc-as to
withhold further loans. The glimmer-
lag hope that tho Informal negotia
tions with Carraasa, having la view
removing the embargo on arms and
ammunition, ended In hta claiming
that privilege, not as a favor, but as
right, and laformlag the United
Ktatoa that he cannot accost its as
sistance and will not tolerate its in
terference in maaagiag the public af
fairs ef Mexico. The wanton execu
tion ot federal soldiers and of fleers
by the rebels who captured Juarec
materially aaeUted in cloetag further
begotlatlons with Carranza.
Tho dispatching of foreign ships to
Moxlcan wators indicates a lack "of
confidence in the course the United
States Is pursuing and that their
presence is essential to protect the
lives and property of their subjects.
It Is rumored that recourse may ba
had to a pacific blockade, which
v.ould be another experimental move,
not Justified by International law, as
any blockade to be effective and ex
tending to tho ships of neutrals trad
ing wth Mexico would be, by our
own formor declarations, an act ot
war.
Scientific Genius and luiineu.
"Dr. Carl Atsberg is a chemist,"
observes Harper's Weekly In a tri
bute to qur chief food expert. "It
la doubtful ir he has any commercial
Instincts. The man who is creative
along scientific lines seldom is a
good tradesman."
Yet what atrange affinities modern
practice seems to evolve. By aome
mysterious alignment a few members
of this highly ethical profession have
apparently obtained the unmistaka
ble fruits of good tradesmanahlp,
What subtle trick their genius played
them It is bard to relate, but the
plethoric swelling of purses Is prima
facie evidence of commercial gain, it
not Instincts. Either the ethlca must
have lost some of their old-fashioned
sensitiveness or creative genius has
been terribly played upon by the oc
cult force ot an evil science. A
clandestine plot exists somewhere, or
all the rules of the game have goae
awry.

OMAHA, Nov. .-To the Editor of Ths
Dee: I wish to call your attention to
what Is no doubt merely an error of Judg
ment, or perhaps due only to thoughtless
hoss. where In article two of the series
on "Omaha'a Public Pchools" In classifi
cation "Foreign Element Enrolment."
It Is stated that Kellom has W "Jews."
Now this Is an erroneous' classification,
a Jews are not a nation as "Bohemians,
"Italians," etc. Thero Is no Jewish na
tion from which Jews could come, and
accordingly be listed as "foreign,"
I havo no doubt that tho great major
ity of Jewish children In Kellom and
other schools Sro born in (his country, a
great many of them right here In Omaha,
and they would very strenuously object,
naturally and Justly, to being classified
as "foreigners." Tho American spirit
and the patriotic love of the land of
their birth are too strong In them to per
mit them for a moment to submit with
out a protest to being thus denational
ised. Ex-en those who are born abroad
should bo classified under tho names of
tho respective countries from which thoy
come as 'Tluaelans," "Roumanians."
"Hungarians," "Bohemians." "Germans,"
If wo wish to draw attention to their
foreign origin.
Jews are not a nation, but a religious
denomination, and thero Is no more rea
son for stating that there are so-snd-so-inany
Jews In any particular school or
schools as thero Is for giving the number
of Baptists, Methodists, Unitarians, Cath
ollcs or thoso ot .any other religion who
are jn attendance upon our nubllo school
To mention any particular denomination
and to keep silent about all tho rest is
sureiy to make an Invidious distinction
mere snouia Do no religious census In
our schools, least of all an enumeration
or ono class of religionists exclusively.
In any further classification of your
staff writer I hope he will bear In mlnrt
that Jaws are members pf a religious de
nomination and are not as Jews to bo
ciassined under tho head of any na
tlonallty. FREDERICK COIIN.
Uncle Sam Oil Company Version
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Nov. 24.-TO the
Editor of Tho Bee: I desire to. reply to
a few of the misleading statements made
Dy tr. II. Abbott In your Issue of No
vember 20.
Mr. Abbott claims that the Osage In
cans have received In cash bonuses
Ki4.228.44 on S5.0S3 acres that had been
leweu io xn uncle 8am Oil company.
ana mat tno Indians are receiving
royalty ot 16 ! cent instead of
royalty of 13M pf cont and tho M0.W0
bonus provided In the lease to The Uncle
Ham Oil company. In this manner ho at
tempts to Justify, tho action of himself as
commissioner of Indian affairs and ot
Samuel Adams, assistant secretary of tho
interior, and Walter I Fisher, secretary
of tho Interior, whereby they refused to
approve tho lease of The Uncle Sam Oil
company and havo approved' leases on
part of tho land to others.
Tho terms of the lease made to The
Uncle Sam Oil company required It to
drill test wells all over the tract: to pay
Donua or woi.oeo, payable out of the
oil; to pay a royalty of one-eighth of
the olt and guarantee that tho price of
the oil shall not bo lower than 40 cents
per barrel; to pay a royalty of one-elg'hth
of the gas; to build a refinery In ttio
county arid to obtain tho written consent
of. each Individual allottee before drilling
on th allotment These terms, are higher
and belter for the Indians than the
terms fixed by the Interinor department
for tho leasing of this land at any time
prior to the data of our lease. The In
terior department hod' approved a lease
on this same land fixing the terms at
one-tenth royalty for oil and '0 a year
for gas wells with no provision tor a
minimum price on royalty oil and no pro
vision for diligent development and the
lease had expired without a single well
being HrlUed during Its entire term,
hlch lasted ten years. Congress ap
proved the terms of this same lease and
extended It for ten years on the eastern
680,000 acres of the Osage lands, but In
creased the royalty on oil from one-tenth
to one-eighth and on gas from 5Q to 1100'
per well. Tho Interior department under
the rule and regulations for tho O-.er.
okeo and all other Indian lands surround
ing the Osage, where the drilling Is easier
done and the prospect for oil as sure, has
fixed the royalty on oil at one-eighth,
but In this part of tho Osage, sought by
Tho Uncle Sam OH company, a com
petitor of the Standard, after our lease
had been made by the Indians In strict
compliance with the law, the Interior de
partment made new rules raising the
royalty to one-sixth, and other regula
tions prohibiting us from leasing any ot
tho land.
The order, to give a face ot honesty to
the transaction,, the Interior department
has attempted to force the Indiana Iq
lease to others some of the land they
had already leased to us, and, as an
excuse for this attempted outrage op
the Indians In thus forcing them to vio
late their contract with us, the trust has
paid this boasted bonus. I say the trust
has paid It, but that is not correct. The
Osage Indiana havo paid It Last spring
an application was made for a renewal
Of the blanket lease on tho eastern por
tion of the Osage lands. A brief was
tiled with the secretary ot the Interior bjt
the applicant, In which It 1s stated that
tho Osage tribe had received a royalty of
t2.TJ4.M5.S8, during the entire operation
on the east side ot the Osago lands. This
royalty was paid by taking the Indians'
oil at an average of 40 cents per barrel.
This oil was taken by the Prairie Olt and
Gas company. It is ths same oil and was
worth the same amount aa the oil said
company Is taking today at Sl.01 ter bar
rel. The number ef barrels of royalty
oil thus taken by the Prairie Oil and Gas
company at 40 cnt per barrel Is s,SS7,4&
barrvls. This at 1.(8 per barrel would
havo amounted to .t,tt8.0&S.85. This Is
what tho Prairie Oil and Oas company
should havo paid the Osage for the roy
al to oil It haa taken from the east side of
the ' Osago lands. Deducting the ,"S4.

OLD BREAKFAST JOYS.

How dear to my heart are
ths
fond
I
recollections
Of hrfnUfnutu I nln an a tww I
Tho buckwheat, the, syrup, tho- homely
confections
That my chlldllsh taste would employ!
The Coffee, with sugar and cream served
so sweetly,
Tho rich-flavored strawberry Jam, ,
And the eggs, white and golden, all spread
out to neatly
Besldo of tho freshly sliced ham.
No breakfasts havo ever been quit like
the old ones
I nte as a -boy on the farm i
A stranger, I've sat where tho cakes hava
been cold ones,
Th Jam to be viewed With alarm.
Were 1 a real poet I'd tune up my meas
ures To sing of those comforts long past!
To give rhythmic sway to tho mem'ry of
pleasures
Too dear and too perfect to last
Yet, whv regret with so much as a
chirrup
For blessings wo henceforth must lack?
Those buckwheats aro Vanished, tho old
maple syrup
Is sweetness that Will not coma back:
While the ham that of old was a morsel
to cherish, ;
For which even a princeling might beg.
Would afford us a Joy all too quickly Ui
perish ,
Allied with tho seven-cent egg!
