The Bogy Man of Militarism.
The people are again being warnea that un
less they are on their1 guard a great standing
army, comparable with the huge military estab
lishments of Europe, will be saddled upon the
United States a$ a Result of our little brush with
Mexico. The same warnings were heard at th
time of tho Spanish-American war, and of our
later military occupation of the Philippines, but
1 he groat standing army that was to 'menace our
liberties did not then materialize, and will not
now. .
Tho peace footing of tho army in this coun
i.y must, of course, bo gauged' by tho work
which the soldiers have to do. For many yearn
It consisted chiefly of patrollng the western
frontier to keep down outbreaks of unruly In
dian tribes, but that chapter has been closed.
Our outlying insular possessions and Alaska re
quire military protoctloh, and the Panama canal
will have to have some, soldiers on the spot all
the time, but outBlde'of hls wo havo no greater
need of .a standing army for coast defense or
suppression of Internal '(troubles than we have
had right nlong. What Is required, and what
our military establishment alms to bo, Is a
peaic-tirao framework of! trained officers and
disciplined troops, particularly for tho special
ized branches of tho sotvicc, which may be sup
plemented on call by .tho National Guard, and
tilled out further in emergency by volunteer.

military government, for. tho United States la

Labor's Fool Friends
Ono of the strongest c"artyons that has re
cently appeared portrays tho tlangor to which
"Labor" is exposod by his fool "Friends." Labor
Is the colpssua of brawn and slnew, of. Intelligence-
and determination, yet his firm footing
Is weakened by noisy demonstrations of dema
gogues and agitators, .roi-ilag wavers and
bomb exploders. If there ever .was a time for
safo and sano leadership' of the working classes,
this Is tho particular period If? Is when busi
ness conditions are In more or !.leis unstablo
equilibrium that prosperity cannot possibly bo
enjoyed by olthor labor or capital except by
fulling together on the same ropo for a re
ostabllshmqnt of business confluence. . .
'.When everybody willing to work Is being
employed at full time and wages, the voice of
tho industrial revolutionist does not command
much -of a sympathetic audience, nor are the
wheals of progress seriously impeded by thoir
Efforts. When work is slack and It is a ques
tion not so much whether capital or labor gets
tho big ond as whether there Is any surplus to
divide, rainbow schomes which ordfharily Wduld
not attract a passing thought, get attention,
and tho moro fantastic the bettor, ,ust so th
bromlses are big and catchy. Under such cir
cumstances tho suggestion that tho ond Justifies
tho moans sometimes leads to resort to very
questionable means'.
Not that labor has no real and serious
wrongs yet to bo rlghtod. Many Just grievance
of labor havo been rodressed, but seldom by
threats or hunger strikes, or law defiance cer

Other Side of the Shield. rV
The Bee not long ago gave Its readers' the
benefit of certain Information divulged' by Vb?
Prohibition National handbook as-.to the .pro,
gram and expectations of those enlisted in th
campaign against the liquor traffic, ifthe samjf
Interest attaches to tho viewpoint or . those, oh
gaged, on the othor side, then this extract from
a bulletin just Issued by (ho crop Improvement
committee of the United 8tatos Brewers' .asso
elation deserves attention:
The demand for the costly Bohemian hops is duo
to the rapid growth of the bottled beer business, which
In turn Is due to the sreat Increase In the family trade.
As n table drink, beer Is saining steadily In popularity?
and most brewers make special brews for their bottled
beer, in which they employ the costliest materials, such
aa the finest barley-malt. Imported rice and a Rood
percentage of Bohemian hops. The crop Improvement
commltteo of the United States Brewers' association
has undertaken an extensive work In furthering- the
betterment of crop conditions In the barley and hop
producing ttates. The fact that the beer sales ore
Increasing steadily In spite of Industrial depression
and prohibition agitation, has Impressed your1 com
mittee with the Importance of looking ahead to the
time when business gtnerally revives, and the politico
prohibition movement has worn Itself out. Vhen thlr
time 'comes the beer trade will develop with even
greater rapidity than In the past decade, and we must
be ready for Itl
Perhaps this suggestion may In part explain
tho transfer of tho activities of the antl-salooa
forces from local and state fields to tho move
ment for national prohibition by amendment
to the. federal constitution.

BRADSH AW, Neb., Stay 4.-To the
Editor of The Beo. With yoyr kind per
mission we would like to use a little
space simply to make an Inquiry. in
The Bee of April 30 we read, with much
Interest, the speech of Congressman
Adolph J. Babath of Chicago. Our Inter
est In the speech aroused slmowhat a
question In our mind as to what cir
cumstance had arisen of sufficient Im
portance to call for a defense In the
house of congress of what he terms
foreign horn soldiers serving In tho
American army. Had anyone questioned
their courage or valor?
Why not the Jew be loyal and patriotic
to tHIs country? It Is the only nation, or
country on earth over which floats a
flag that gives him ahsolute and perfect
freedom? If In tho defense of that flag
that guarantees to him religious liberty,
commercial freedom and social equality,
an occasional death might, or does occur,
are the Jewish people paying any greater
sacrifice for the freedom they enjoy than
do Americana? And, by the way, aro
they under any less obligations for the
freedom they enjoy?
It seems to the writer that unless Mr.
Sabath has had his people's patriotism
questioned, or some indignity of import
ance offered, that his speech was some
thing of a bombast not called for. As a
veteran of the civil war, I can truth
fully attest from personal knowledge
that the Jew made as good a soldier as
any other class of peoplo. foreign born
or American born. If there were any
provocation for Mr. Bahath's effort, he
should havo so stated In a preface to his
remarks, that the reader might form
Jiomes Intollgent Idea regarding his
gnovance. JOHN B. DEY.

Increasing- Our Meat Supply.
. Those conversant with the meat supply situ
ation believe we will soon reap the benefit on n
small scalo of grazing live stock on the open
streV.hes of" our Jtso' patlonal forest reserves.
Hore Is one opportunity, for Increasing our meat
supply of which we should avail oursolves to
thq Very last degree. The government collocts
a fair rental, or permit fee, from tho stockmen
for the use of .the grass and the general publlu
will finally share In tho benefits. These re
serves lying in some, rich sections this year, ac
cording to expert report, will afford pasturo for
.11,000,000 head of ttock. We shall need, of
course, all the help posslblo to combat tho odds
against tho maintenance of the meat supply bal
ance, especially so long as the oconomic folly of
raiding the young, unfinished herds. Is con
tinued. . .
The tnirr of Aurora.
SILVER .CltKEK, Neb., May 4.-Tu
Editor of Thf Bee; And now has sud
denly appeared In the brilliant galaxy of
authorities on International law a new
star of the first magnitude, viz., W. L.
fitark of Aurora not Aurora, III., nor
Aurora, Borealls, but Aurora of bur own
Nebraska. United States of, America.
If anyone be disposed to question tho
right of Mr. Stark to be ranked with
Orotlus, Puffendorff, Vattel and Whea
.ton, I need only to remind him that Mr.
Stark some years ago attained to the
subllmest heights of judicial glory by
serving a term as Judge advocate of the
Nebraska national guard with the rank
of majoh That ought to settle It. Dut
If the doubter bo still unconvinced let
him read that very profound discourse
by Mr. Stark, on "The Law of Salutes,"
recently addressed to Governor John H,
Morehead, wherein he demonstrates by
citations from history that a salute to
our flag by a provisional government
which Is not a provisional government
Is a. thing President Wilson was in duty
bound to secure even at the cost of much
blood and treasure, and of making' a
complete wreck of Bryan's new battle
ship "Friendship." Mr. Stark proves
further that when a salute In the Tam
plco affair sis refused the president
not only had a right, but l(t was his duty
to make reprisal by seizure of Vera
Crus.
The fact that, according to President
Wilson, there was no provisional govern
ment In Mexico, cuts' no figure In Mr.
HUrk argurgpnt; nor that all we havo
to show for our bravo display of "power
at Vera Cruz.. Is seventeen dead Ameri
can boys art'fO0 to ,800 .MeXlcaner-a. ruth
less socrlffri'rif hurnan .lives On "the altar
of conceited Idiocy. 'And' still further' It

And now its a sort of side Issue, I
would like to know what right Mr. Stark
of 1,'Aurora had to butt ",ln at this time
and assume to give .Governor Morehead
1 advice, In matters of international law.
)ForMb.e. "It, known, that right hero In
Central Cjty, In my own county of Mer-
rjek, replendent In gold braid and, brass

the iprcsnt' Incumbent, to. give Hi If any
Judgl adyocati at all, and not for a has
been llkeljJdge Stark.;
Mr,r Stack's thrusting himself fn with
his ndvlcfrf and Governor Morehead's ac
ceptance pfltt waa a deadly insult to the
flsg, and To" the honor and dignity of
Central City, and, If need be, should be
wiped out In blood. Major Allen should
Immediately demand that before C:3o
p. ro. on, some old Sunday the offending
parties salute Central City's flag on pain
of having Aurora (of Nebraska and not
of Borealls) selted and numerous of Its
citizens murdered by way- of reprisal.
Now let Major Allen hop to It, only be
ing careful not to bombard Aurora and
thus takes chances of killing women and
children as did the commander of our
fleet at Vera Cruz.
In concluding that very able discourse
on International law Mr. Stark relieves
himself of a little Judicial dicta that all
patriotlo citizens should uphold Presi
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan In their
bloody work In Mexico, which same dicta
is- my justification 'for saying that all
patriotic citizens of Central City and
Merrick county should uphold Major
Allen In going over to Aurora and wiping
out In blood the afore-mentioned Insult
to our flag, CHAHJ.ES WOOSTER.

Aimed at Omaha
V'lndlcntlou Throujth Leant Loophole.
Norfolk Press; A few weeks ago three Omaha
lawyers were Indicted on a charge of blackmailing a
prominent Omaha merchant. Friday the Indictments
were all dismissed because the merchant, who was
In New York, announced that he did not care to
prosecute. Fiascos such aa this do not tend to In
crease one's respect for legal procedure An Indict
ment on such a serious charge ought to bo followed
by a trial, unless there Is some better reason to offer
than that the complaining witness does not care to
appear
Henry, Why Did Yon Do ltt
Guide Rock Signal: Henry C. Richmond threw a
fit last week in his Omaha Nebraskan because Wil
son declared war on Huorta. Henry must have at
tended church on "Qo-to-Church Sunday" and experi
enced religion. Funny how these Omaha (Dahlman)
democrats will grasp at straws In order to condemn
the "grapo-Julce" administration. The gang of brew
ers that are backing Henry are sending more boys
to hell every year than all tho wars that ever existed.
We hope he does as he threatens, gets out of the
democratic party and stays out, and that he will take
along a lot more of those Omaha roughnecks with
him.

Blair Enterprise: A lot of those yokels who went

wouldn't know grand opera quality If they should

disappointed when Mary didn't appear as advertised;
not that they did not hear her, but that the Omana
papers advertised her non-appearance and they
couldn't gush to their neighbors on their return home
about how beautiful her singing was.

A Lonesome Donkey.
Last summer Mr, Oak'es, an eminent lawyer, sent
his wife and young daughter to a farm house In
the White mountains for a vacation. Shortly after,
he received an urgent request from the little girl
to send her a pet donkey to use while there. She
had read about donkeys and heard them, but was
not at all familiar with their peculiar vocallsm.
The donkey arrived and the child had many rides
around tho vicinity. She enjoyed it all hugely ex
cept the animal's strange noises, which inspired her
with the profoundest pity for his evident distress.
One day, after vainly trying to subdue his vocal
lsm, she wrote a letter to her father, in which she
