A Busy King.
The succession of dramatic ovents growing
out of the Ulster situation has reached several
climaxes, most notablo of which Is, not tho resig
nation of army officers, or oven tho war secre
tary, but the personal activity of King George.
Even tho highly partisan role Lord Roborta has
played on tho side of Ulster does not compare
with this, especially with thoso who have been
accustomod to look upon the crown as but u
token of authority.
Tho king, of course, though attempting con
ciliation, has failed to gratify nil; indeed, ho has
admirably succeeded in incensing the liberals,
who regard this whole affair as simply a Tory
attempt to browbeat tho government and down
tho principle of popular freedom, to use the ex
pression of John Redmond, leader of the na
tionalists. "Whether that be ontlrcly true or
not, tho king rather challenges admiration for
tbo bold and fearless part he Is playing, and it
would not bo surprising if in the end his influ
ence proved helpful.
Events havo gone far enough to make it
plain that nothing short of rare wisdom is going
to bring this issue to a satisfactory determina
tion. Evidently tho unionists are playing for
tlmo In all the vortex of this present storm. Jf
they should succeed In otfecting another pro
longed stay this measure for home rule might
bo defeated in tho next election by changing tbo
party in power. Nevertheless, thero is no pres
ent warrant for discounting too far tho possibil
ity of continuod dissension and trouble Great

A Model Water Works Report.
The Bee is in rccoipt of tho annual report
of the Milwaukee water works covering its op
erations for the year 1913, which strikes us as
being a close- approximation to a model roport.
The water works In Mllwaukeo is munici-
pnlly-ownod and operated through a superin
tendent under tho direction of the commissioner
of pubilo works. Irrespective of comparisons.
the value of the property is given in roiud fig
ures as 17,485,000, which is abouj $600,000
more than tho present valuation at which our
Omaha water works are carried, while tho num
ber of metered consumers in Mllwaukoe is 69,-
233, or somowhat more than twlco tho number
served hore.
The costs and revenues, and other items, aro
given In detail, but most graphic of all is the
computation on tho basis of each 1,000 gallons
of the total pumpage with, and without, inter
est on invested capital. For example, the cost
per 1,000 gallons, Including all. ordinary ex
penses, sinking fund charges, depreciation, esti
mated taxes and 4 per cent interbst on net In
vested capital, is 4.459 cents, and the "similarly
computed cost on 80 per cent of the total purap
ngo for which the department receives revenue
is G.G34 cents. As against this cost, the price
charged to consumers in Milwaukee Is 6 cents
per 1,000 gallons, and to consumers outside tho
city limits 8 cents, making an avorago rovenuo
per 1,000 gallons on tho per cent of total pump
ago sold of 6,185 cents per thousand gallons.
Even on that close margin the Milwaukee water
works, aftor paying running expenses and cred
iting Interest on Investment at 4 per cent, let',
a net Income of nearly $260,000.
Incidentally, it is interesting to note that Ic
Milwaukee thero Is no minimum charge or serv
ice charge, tho consumer paying G cents per
1,000 gallons for only what ho actually con
sumes as indicated by tho meter. All water,
howovor, must bo motored, and the water
wasted has been tremendously reducod by com
pulsory metering.
The Nlne-Lifed Beast.
The way in which tho assombly foil on Moyor
Mltchol'a police commissioner bill seems to sug
gest that Tammany and Murphy still havo a llt
tlo pull at Albany, dead ob they may be tem
porarily In Gotham. This was tho measure In
vesting the police commissioner with plenary
powers designed to attract Colonel Qoethals to
take the place which tho mayor urged upon him
Even though It had succeoded, It would still
seom like a wild goose chaso so far aa Colonel
Uoethals is concerned, for the very biggest that
tho New York cotnmisslonorshlp could be made
would, not bring the position up to tho propor
tions; of tho governorship of tho Panama. From
a strategic standpoint alone the exchange of
offices would 'seem very unwise for Governor
Goothals. Ho had given a final decision with
out waiting for the Tammany cohorts to lay
their faithful axes to the measure.
Politically, tho rebuff appears to bo a dis
tinct Murphy victory, though whether it carries
much weight outsldo of the Tammany-bossed
assombly is another question. Nevertheless,
the action Is a stern reminder of tho nine-llfod
nature of this fellno beast with which tho Ideal
istic young mayor Is dealing. ,
a
Rural Arithmetic.
A Kansas educator has produced what he
calls "a rural arithmetic," designed especially
for use In country schools attended by boya and
girls from tho farm. It teaches arithmetic in
terms of good farming and good citizenship. Its
examples and problems havo to do particularly
with the things ot the farm. For Instance, It
ieals with land, horses, cows, swine, poultry,
eggs, crops ot all sorta; with rural credits, good
roads and, In fact, everything that directly or
Indirectly goes to make up the atmosphere and
life of the farmer.
The intended and probable effect is to mag
nify the Importance of these aspects or life in
the minds ot the fanner's children, to fascinate
them with the farm, to deepen and broaden their
interests in the farm and finally to niako them
want to be farmers. It Is, In other words, a
very adroit method of fostering the "back-to-tho-farm"
idea, having the excellent quality of
being remedial instead ot curative.
Whether It will not work as planned no one
yet knows, We do know, howover, that the
rural education that centers the child's thoughts
.and fancies so largely in city life to the dispar
agement ot the farm does not cultivate a li ve
for the farm In the children or make them more
eager to stay wltii it. The new idea Is based on
the very logical theory that It is easier to hold
boys and girls on the farm who were bom and
reared there than to draw city-bred people from
the city. This is so simple that it certainly ap
peals to the common sense of the common
person.
"A Word to the 'Wise."
BRADSHAW, Neb., March S.-To tho
Editor of The Bee: In your letter box
"H" says. "If the minister of Omaha
would preach short sermons, then every
Sabbath would be a 'Oo-to-Church day.'
Very well said, but "II" should remem
ber that ministers aro educated In our
colleges and seminaries, and their Kng
llsh vocabulary has no limit, and what
Jesus Christ would tell the world In
three minutes, It takes the average, well-
educated minister from forty to sixty
minutes to get Intelligently beforo their
hearers, and wo agree with ''IV that a
less flow of language and n cutting ot
all vaudeville and theatrical perfor
mances In the pulpit would greatly
shorten the program and might result In
great good as an Inducement for people,
togo to church.
But will "II" tell us what would be tho
result If the theaters would shorten tholr
programs to about twenty or thirty min
utes, The writer has known lots ot
people who would complain about long
church services that tho entlro program
would conclude In one hour's time, who
would go and sit In a cramped up and
crowded theater for nearly three hours
and never register a word Of complaint.
There Is some difference In who and
what me are serving. "Get me?''

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Starch 25. To
the Kill tor of The Bee: I note a special
telegram from our city which Is not In
harmony with the facts in the case. It
states that an independent caucus was
held and a set of city officers nominated
In opposition to the municipal ticket. As
secretary of tho Municipal Ownership
league I wish to state that there Is no
municipal ticket here, nor has there ever
been, aa the organization Is yet In Us In
fancy and took no steps toward putting
up a ticket. The citizens nominated a
citizens' ticket at a citizens' caucus, and
In opposition to this an independent cau
cus waa held, which your correspondent
sees fit to designate aa the people's cau
cus. Please glv space to this statement,
as we desire that no wrong Impressions

WhHt'a the Blatter Trltu Mexico t
OMAHA, March St.-To the Editor ot
The Bee: Mexico is today furnishing to
tho world an example of the accomplish
ments of anarchy. The anathema of dis
rupted, disorganized government has cast
Itself upon the land of our neighboring
country to tho south. In the midst of
bloody turmoil, where revolution has fol
lowed revolution, Mexico Is undergoing
an Internal struggle that is horrifying
the entlro world.
The methods of the opposing "armies''
In Mexico surpass tho comprehension ot
a civilized world. In the annals of war
fare, ancient or modern, it Is difficult
to find a counterpart to the present con
ditions in that land. There aro those
who say that tho mixed Spanish and In
dian blood of the representative Mexican
renders him a warlike, Indolent person
and an exceedingly difficult one to gov
ern. Yet It is not disposition ot tho Mexi
can that it causing- the continuous dis
turbances in his country. Am a matter
of fact, the great bulk of the citizenship
ot Mexico, the mass ot illiterate and
easily swayed Mexicans, are fighting the
battles of a few scheming, desperate
leaders.
Moro than 76 per cent of the population
of Mexico may be, termed Illiterate. Edu
cational methods in Mexico follow more
closely cock-fighting, sotol drinking and
the bull ring than tho "three B's," The
pastimes of a nation to a large extent
iltuetrato Its relative degree of advance
ment up tho ladder of civilization and
Mexican uports attain a barbaric limit
unapproachod by practically any other
country in the world. Hence it is, that
with a seml-borbarlo horde, naturally
boated with the passion for the guerrilla
mode of fighting, the dominant Mexican
leaders havo little difficulty in inaugu
rating a revolution at most any time.
The success of the movement resolves
Itself into the craftiness of its leader,
his ability to away and hold tho crude
soldiers. For yeara Dlaa. reigning with
an Iron hand, succeeded In holding" the
Mexican situation in his grasp, whllo he
prostituted the country's resources for
his own personal gain. His greediness
was his own undoing. Madero succeeded
to tho presidency his assassination at
the hands of the Huerta tools followed.
Huerta today appears to dominate In
Mexloo, but the country has yet to pro
duce a character strong- enough to mas
tcr the political situation of entire
Mexico.
Treachery, murder, theft and prevari
cation these have been the implements
employed by each of the last several
aspirants ror the doubtful privilege of be
ing Mexico's president. And Mexico
faces an impossible task If she hopes to
build of auch materials an enduring gov
ernment which shall rightfully demand
the recognition of other nations. No
country has ever found other than dis
aster, shame and disruption In the doc
trines of that type of anarchy which has
so omnlvorously gripped Mexico, On the
other hand, the policy which Mexico is
now pursuing will surely precipitate the
country into the abyss of deterioration
which years and years of capable gov
ernment will not be effective in over
coming. This is the price which Mexico is pay
ing for her Ignorance-the price of
honor, life and progress.

Civic Spirit in Omaha
Signed Editorial by William F.
Baxter, Chairman Commercial Club
Publio Affairs Committee, with Spe
cial Reference to Local Conditions.
I am nsked by ye editor to say something about
ctvlo spirit Numerous comments havo been read
nnd heard recently a'bout the tack of It and the need
of It Civic spirit. What Is It? How defined? How
expressed? Patriotism, more or less doruiant, may
bo found in the breast ot every citizen, bur In action
wo follow the mind's dictation of what Is more Im
portant The trite saying that "this Is a material
age:" that ''money and power obsess the ambitions
of men," expresses In the main what Is Important
to most Clvlo spirit Is a social attribute. Society
In order to progress must have rules, laws. These
are not sufficient as such, but only effective perma
nently when founded upon natural law moral law.
Particularly )a It Important that that fundamental
statement of human liberty, "Man may do all that
ho wilt so long as he Infringes not the equal rights
of all others," be regarded. When the rules ore
Ignored and tho lawn violated; when power Is ex
ercised to promote class party; clique, political am
bition or privato greed by the Influential citizens of
any community, civic spirit, social sense, .goes out
and discord, discontent and indifference enter.
The cry has gone out for leadership, meaning,
doubtless, a man or men. My thought Is that a
causa that would sink for the tlmo thought of self
interest, that would enthuse and unite, an Ideal
that would be worthy of struggle, a real welfare
movement would develop all needed leadership. One
year ago tho forces of this city were united for
restoration work. Leaders wero not lacking. Why
cannot the same forces In a similar way, with the
same thought of social welfare, unite for progress
as well as for replacement
We havo long been taught to look to the dally
press for leadership and much has been furnished
In tho post I believe we are seeing Its decadence,
and why? Because that Idea of leadership which, to
be effcctlvt, must seek the welfare, progress and
betterment for all, Is at variance with the more mod
ern theory, that the newspaper is the private business
concern of the owner and must bo used to produce
'profit or power. I concede the samo right to this
latter view aa exists In any other business, but I con
tend that If followed, the idea of publio leadership
must be abandoned.
If It Is organization that is needed, we no not
lack, certainly not if the plural be permitted, for we
have an organization for nearly every phase of ac
tivity. Perhapa because of this multiplicity, support
of them Is perfunotory. But, for whatever reason,
thero Is certainly a lack ot purposeful Interest Ac
tivlty in some of the more Important is clearly
recognizable as a furtherance of personal amouion or
tho desire of support to some privato undertaking,
Particular interest in the question of clvlo spirit
seems to havo been stimulated by the recent elec
tion, when projects believed by many to bo essential
to tho city's prpgress, foiled of approval by the
electorate: partly through direct disapproval and
largely through Indifference. '
If I am to express an opinion, Mr. Editor, I would
give as ono reason to my mind the most important
reason for the condition of disapproval, discontent
and indifference that certainly exists.
Two years ago there came voluntarily together a
group of men whoso purpose it was to unite the
good citizens of this community in a movement that
should take hold of the affairs of this city and con
duct them In the Interest of Its development and the
welfare of alt Its citizens. No creed was established,
no system endorsed, no theory advocated, no interest
represented to which any good citizen could not have
subscribed. I need neither defend nor excuse tho
mistakes In policy, the errors In Judgment, t'4 Ignor
ance of mctropoUtan politics, nor any other fault In
action. It needs but to assert, and I know of its
truth, that the motive was puro, jthat co-operation
was everywhere sought, and that counsel was
widely asked. I am sure that, crude though It may
have been, It waa a great opportunity for a get
together movement Nowspapcr support waa lack
ing: the reasons soemed then and now quite clear in
the minds of many. There was. however. Very gen
eral support throughout the cjty, a support that I
believe grew enormously with 'the success of the op
position to this movement, composed of an alliance
between the office Beekers, publio service corpora
tions, the vie elements, and business men looking
for favors, aided by the raqt tnat tne election ma
chinery waa entirely In their hands. That support
has grown since. It is bigger now than It waa then.
It Is more powerful now than it waa then. It is
sulking a bit It lacks the opportunity of proper ex
pression, but that will come; meantime It Is say
ing "No."

calls for tho author. Mr. Shaw came before, the cur

flashed In the direction from which it came. "Yes. I
quite agree with you; but what can we two do against
