For how. long will the flag remain flying?
And if It is not to stay Indefinitely, what must
bo dono before It comes down? Tho original de
mand upon -Huerta was for an unconditional
salute, but complete capitulation would not now
fulfill requirements On this score tho latest

Two Planks- 1
While the discussion nbout repeal of tolls
exemption Is in progress, further roferenco to
the Baltimore convention, on which President
Wilson and every democratic member of" tho
present congress was olected, carinot bo out of
order. Two planks In that platform are par
ticularly in point. The first reads:
We favor the exemption from tolls of American
ahlps engaged In uonstwlse trade passing through
uie rannma canal.
This plnnk Is sandwiched in bdtwoen n
declaration In fttVor of foBterlng a merchant
marine, and another declaration for legislation,,
forbidding tho uso of the Panama canal by ships'
ownod or controlled by railroad carriers en
gagod In- transp6rtation competitive with the
canal.
Tho second plank Is tho. cpncludlng para
graph of tho wholo document as follows:
Our platform Is one of principles which we be
lieve to be essential to our national welfare, our
pledge are inadft to bo kept when In offlco as well
an to be relied upon during thn campaign.
Lot anyone not blinded hy hopes of patron
age road theHo two planks of tho platform to
gether and try to arrlvo at an unbiased decision.
Give Us Light, But Not Colored light.
Lot us havo light on the street lighting ques

of them burn nil night, while 2S5 aro closed off

Mnnpln's Version of .Seeret C'onfnli.
LINCOLN, Neb.. Mm 7.-To the IMItor
of The Bee-: At Sidney. Neb., on Monday
my attention was called to a Lincoln dis
patch In The Bee, wherein was quoted
Hon. Kdgar Howard's comments upon
the recent meeting of the Democratic
Editorial association, t happened to bo
tho secretary of that convention and I
Ijollove the minutes offer the best evi
dence o( tho transactions. In the main
Mr. Howard's cominonts'aro correct, but
In cne or two Instances where my namo
as mentioned Mr. Howard's memory
plays him false and his Information la
net correct. He speaks of mo as the.
"tpeclal spokesman fdr Congressman Ma
gulre." Mr. Howard muat havo been
jcklng. I have not been spokesman for
Mr Magulrc; on the contrary I have
nier' been- an enthusiastic admirer or
warm supporter of tho gentleman. Had
Mr.. llotvard been listening closely to the
discussion of the resolutions he would
havo heard mo say, In reply to his
charge Hint Magulro cat still and made
no response to Underwood's attack upon
Bryan, that wb of Lincoln wcro glad,
under the circumstances, that Magulro
did not attempt a reply.
Mr. Howard's statement that I pre
sented an amendment to tho resolution,
Including the names of tho senator and
thico representatives from Nebraska, la
not a fact. My resolution mentioned no
names, nor did I at any time Insist that
tho four gentlemen bo specifically named
In any resolution. My amendment read
as follows:
Wo commond tho democratic members
of congress from Nebraska for their evl
(UrceH of devotion to democratic prin
ciples as exemplified in their support of
tho policies of President Wilson.
I urged the adoption of this amend
ment, believing that It was only fair to
the representatives themselves and a.
duty wo owed to them and to the demo
cratic party. 1 carefully drew it bo as
'to endorse them only ln-so'-far as they
supported the policies of tho president
John W. Cutrlght Is amply able to, an
swer for hinsclf to tho chargo that ho
la Senator Hitchcock's spokesman in Lin
coln. If my memory serves me rightly,
and I believe It docs, Mr. Howard was
the only- member who montloncd Senator
Hitchcock's name.
I am not, so nlncli concerned .about the
charge that I Insisted upon specifically
endorsing tho four representatives by
name', as I dm about the charge that t
am "Congressman Maguird's special
spokesman." I apprehend that I am
about tho last man In tho First congres
sional district that Congressman Magulro
would select qa his "spokesman." I havo
supported hlnj nnd votcl for him every
tlmo ho was a candidate, but I am not
oven well acquainted with him.
Doubtlesa not ono of the democratic
editors had. any Idea the proceedings
would be kept secret. The executive ses
sion, was ordered merely to relievo mem
bers from embarrassment In free discus
sion. I gavo thu reporters free access
to tho minutes and was Clad to do so;
Personally I am glad the discussion
aros'o nnd .waxed warm, for It made In
teresting and.mcrry a session that might
otherwise have been merely routine. 1
write this. merely to correct Mr. How
arrt's statements as they refer to .my
participation. WILL M. MAUPIN.

most trusted officer in the royal army.

lie that aq It may, the general turned
upon tho viceroy, and captured the pal
ace. Apodpc.a was viceroy. Yturbldo
liad entered a Mexican magna charta
with the rebels, called the Plan of Iugalo,
This provided the preservation t of tho
Roman "Ctithollc rcllcloti to tho. ex
clusion of all others; ttio- absolute Inde
pendence of Mexico under a", modoratc

classes aro called tho three ' guarantees.
The Mexican flag was .designed accord
ingly; white for religious -purity; green
for union; red for Independence. A pod oca
was arrested and ordered to return to
BnaAn. . ,
Hut John Donoju, the successor of
ApodocaJiad landed at Vera Cruz. He
took the oath to uphold tho dignity of
his sgverejen; hastened to negotiate with
Yturblde and recognuo the new consti
tution. The charter of Iugala was dated
ebruary U, 18J1 or May 18, 1SK. Yturblde
'having 'tne support of the church and tho
army was -elected emperor, as Augustin
I, so Mr, Donoju'a career was short, it
wt sweet. Tho emperor and emperess
were solemnly annolnted and crowned on
tho twentytfirst Of tho next July; and
on December, a republic was proclaimed
.at Vera Cu and the royal couple were
Invited to leave the country. Tho hero
of this, coup d'etat was Anthqny I
gunta Anna, a name familiar to every
Jool boy, a name Infamous through
out' the world,
: The insurrection was successful. Thus
Mexico owed her Independence and . her
republican. .form of government to two

Chlnn'e Constitution.
President Yuan Shlh Kal, the "strong man of
China," has evolved a constitution strong enough to
bear him to any altitude of power his ambition
craves. The document Is tho culmination of the
many moves toward Imperial supremacy taken by
Yuan from the moment he ditched the Manchu throne
two years ago. The republic of Dr. Sun Yat Sen Is
a memory, and the doctor and his following arc
scattered to the four winds. Having disposed of these'
"troublesome and impractical idealists," President
Yuan set about selecting a constitutional conven
tion to draft a document better suited to the needs
and conditions of China. That the convention did It
work well Is evident from the fact that the president
proclaimed the constitution as tho fundamental law
of the land. Jly Its explicit terms the president be
came tho head of an unlimited monarchy, with a
government republican in name only. He U empow
ered to convoko, open, suspend, close or dissolve the
legislature; submit to It thb budget and other bills,
and demand reconsideration of bills already passed
that may be deemed unsatisfactory; he has sole
power to appoint and dismiss civil and military offi
cials, to declare war and conclude peace, and the
management of all revenues and all disbursements
for the various branchca of tho government. Such
a constitution and the power It concentrates In the
presidency would not command many votes at a
referendum In the United 8tates. Possibly, it Is aa
far advanced as thb Chinese can appreciate. Cer
tainly It lines up with President Yuan'a conception
of "safety first."
NnnvFRlnn Centennial,
Beginning MnyJ.5 and running through the summer
months, Norway will conduct- an ' exposition at
Chrlstlanla to commemorate Its declaration of Inde
pendence of Sweden and the adoption of a constitu
tion May 17, 1814. Although Norway and Sweden
rfcunltcd after a sharp war, six months later, the
union was voluntary and on equal ' terms, not as a
pawn In the chessboard of European powers. This
union lasted until 1005, when It was dissolved by mutual
consent, The exposition and Incidental festivities is
expected to draw homeward thousand of Norse
Americans. In a special pavilion called "Norway
abroad," the Norwegians who havo sought a home In
Amorlca will show their home-staying countrymen
the life they lead In their adopted, home. An Interest
ing featuro of tho exhibit vOf theso states will be the
publication of special hlstoWes of the states, showing
the strenuous work of Norwegian pioneers Who helped
to build tlrcm up and the prosperous conditions under
which they now live. The Fourth of July will be cele
brated with all of the latest safe and sane attach
ments. The cclcbratlQn of Amerlca'a natal day will
center about tho presentation of a statue of Lincoln
to Chrlstlanla by Governor Hanna of North Dakota.
Tho governor will attend In person and deliver the
unveiling speech, which will be followed by a recep
tion given by the American minister, Albert O.
Schmcdraan, at the American club, headed by T,
Herman Gade. A banquet, attended .by King Haakon
and the diplomatic corps of tho capital, will bs held
n the auditorium Of the exhibition. It Is expected
that besides the 400 American singers, who will go to
participate In the singing festivals, the thousands of
unofficial Norso-Amercan visitors and a host of
their Norwegian relatives will unite In a demonstra
tion to show honor to a country which, by Nor
wegians, Is held second in affection only to their
country.
Distribution of Tied Hats.
Thirteen prelates have been publicly named by
Plus X for the honors of the Roman Catholic car
dlnalate nnd will receive the scarlet hat At a public
consistory in Rome May 25. Of tho thirteen named
eight are foreigners and five Italians, giving the
sacred college a membership of stxty-flve out of a
possible seventy, of whom thirty-four are classed as
Italians. Only two of the new members are of in
terest to. Americana Monstgnor Begin, archbishop of
Quebec, and Abbot Gasquet, president of the. English
Benedictines. The former la 70 years' of age, a native
of Quebec, the son of a farmer, w,ho has ,au distin
guished record as a teacher, bishop', and archbishop,
Abbot Gasquet is well known In the- United States,
having delivered lectures in Various cities as late as
laut winter In behalf of the commission which has un
dertaken revision of the Vulgate,- or "Latin Bible.
He -was appointed chairman of tho commission in
1908, and; hla succqss In organizing and pressing for
ward the mighty work receives merited recognition.
The public consistory on the !5th Inst, will be notable
for .the Imposing number of American prelates who
win participate. For the first time In history the
church In tho United States will be represented by
four c(irdlnas, Gibbons, Falconlo, Farley and" O'Con
aoll, besides a large number oZ bishops and arch
bishops. Austrlnna Check Zabernlam.
Militarism Is a mighty force in Austrian life and
tho "honor of the army" Is touted as strongly aa In
Germany, but Austrlans Insist that men upholding
the "honor of the army" shaJJ. conduct themselves
toward citizens in an exemplary manner. Captain
von Dlttman, an officer, dining at a cafe In Burnlck,
in the Tyrol, inconsed at a crowd which blocked the
door, drew his sword and had a dozen men and
women arrested by a military patrol. They were
Imprisoned In the Jail .at tho barracka for twp hours.
On their release tho ox-prisoners lodged a complaint
"agalrist the captain. The following day he was re
lieved of Ids .command, placed under' arrest- and ,a
committee cprr. sed of. officers and citizens appointed
to Investigate .no' case. The ' military Zabernltqs In
Alsace-Lorraine, It may bo rtcallcd, were, tried and
acquitted 'by their associates, no civilian havjng a
voice In Uie affair. In a later case of abduction, the
father of the victim, who lodged complaint against
the officer, has been informed that the 'German mili
tary authorities have no Jurisdiction. At the same
tlmo the civil courts cannot move Iq the case .without
the consent of the military. The contrast In these
typical Instances puts Austria far ahead of Germany
in vindicating civil rights.
Twloe Told Tales
Dorottay'a Confession.
The school children had learned Eugene Field's
poem, "Wynken, Blynken and Nod," and one after
noon, for the entertainment of some visitors, the
teacher had them repeat it. Thinking to display how
well the children comprehended the meaning of the
poem she began to ask questions about It.
"And what were the two little eyes and the little
head doing in their little boat that was the trundle
bed?" she said.
No hand came. up. .'
"What happens when we go to alep?" 'she went

tered another miner, who fainted, fell
out of tho cage and was killed. Under
the law of Missouri the dead miner's de
pendent family -would be without a legal
right to any sort of compensation from
the mlno owners. It was doubtful if such
a case was covered by the Michigan
compensation law, but a claim was filed
and the company "a aouless corpora
tion" waived tho legal technicalities and
IS paying compensation to the widow.
That is the way compensation laws are
working.

THE VOYAGER'S PLAINT.
Blanche Elizabeth Wade, in Leslie's.
A trip abroad I sail the eighth
I long have contemplated.
For weeks before the lime, my mind
Has been by this elated.
But- now. that date I almost dread,
And fairly quako with fear.
You see, each friend I have, expects
Some worthy souvenir.
From Chins, I must bring to Ruth,
A ring of purest Jade; .
And Ted must have from Germany,
An anUque, trusty blade.
Now, I must bring to mother dear,
A Rusilon samovar;
And father wishes for his den,
A Roman water Jar.
I'm charged to get Parisian gloves:
Delft pottery; a scarab;
Some edelweiss from Switzerland;
A necklace from some Arab;
A piece of Pyramids or Sphinx;
Sahara lesert sand;
A Ferslan pearl; a sample, too,'
Of India's coral strand.
Stalactites queer from Flngal'a cave;
Brocade from Spanish' loom;
Some lava from Vesuvius;
A chip from Shakespeare's tomb;
A votive-lantern from Japan;
A piece of Maltese lace;
A scarf from Liberty's; likewise,
A mummy or its case.
Where now, for me, will be those days
ui wEuiaenng, care-ireer
Where no-v, the mountaln-ramblesi
drives;
Or sails on inland sea?
No wonder, then, that date tha eighth-
In place of Joy, brings fears.
rm not on pleasure bent, you see.
But bent on souvenirs!
