It has made him. There is a bally good bit o' news Johnny Bull, you know, Is going to bring bin polo team over' again for another brush with us. The people of the United States are net clamor ing ax much today for legislation as they are for a chance to do business Chairman Underwood. Mr. Underwood said something thou. An exchange presents "throo views" (pho tographic) of Charles S. Mellon. Wall street has a fourth, which It is not photographing Just now. Lot all patriots noto that once more formor President Taft sounds tho rallying cry for all good Americans 'to- support their president in tho crisis. ' Flvo days la. an awfully short time for a governor to decide whether to let so-called . friends isbdyo hjin from cine political race track ' to a'nothe'rV : ' , Huerta Sees the Writing On the Wall. The Information that Huerta Is ready to eliminate himself, If need bo, to restore poaco through mediation Is readily bollovable. Elimi nation of Huerta Is the logic of events; It is tho writing on tho wall, which he must soo as plainly as anyone, the manner and time of his going being the only points left open. He seoms willing to resign, and make way for some one else, in exchango for assurance that he be succeeded by a provisional government satisfac tory to tho contending forces as paving tho way to a cholco of a permanont president by consti tutional election. This solution would Impose responsibilities upon the United States, and make It desirable, If not necessary, to secure acquiescence of tho Carranzalsts, but It would be a peaceful way out, or at least tho way out that offors a fair proralso of peace. Of course, so far as Huerta Is concerned, It may bo that ho Is merely trying to anticipate tho Inevitable, and to savo what he can out of tho wreck looming up in front of him. Denying him any patriotic Impulse and crediting him with only selfish motives, his solf ellmlnatlon would, without question, bo a great help toward tho re-establishment of peaceful order, and to that extent should bo encouraged. May Day Eevival. What's not devoured by Time's devouring hand? Where'a Troy and Where's the May-pole In the Strand? Somo of our public schools have had their May-day festivals this year on the school grounds though a Httlo after tho-first day of tho month and they have provod Bources of much interest and ploasuro to parents and pu pils alike. Ono of the playgrounds was hand somely occupied by mothers, oven fathers, hap pily looking on while their boys and girls wont through their exercises. Tho experiment seems to havo boen ontlroly successful. Why not make It permanent and general among tho schools of tho city? Surely thoro Is lime and place In tho busy routlno of tho youngsters' lives for this little diversion. It is worth something to our school days as well as other days to vary tho program with as many such foaturos and frolics as we can, wisely. Tho tendency of our day Is entirely too much toward tho sevorlty of getting overythlng done In a day. Tlmo with us Is de vouring too many of our May-days. They go out of our lives only to leavo a void that should not be there. It can't b so-bad; when, thousands of dollars tare spent-to-debauch and corrupt pur public (jfflcjals without' landing a catch In the not , worth haying.

The Lincoln Journal calls attention, to the fact that twonty yeara ago W. J.

In public nffalrs than I had when I entered cougress." Just llko the other little Willie, "you can't sometimes most always tell."

The roster of high crimes charged against I-'ran-elsco Villa, fighting leader of the constitutionalist forces In Mexico, printed In this column last week, Is pronounced by competent observers to havo fceen con siderably ovurdrawn. It was read Into the Congres sional Bocord by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and credited to the Boston Transcript, though the ereaten-part of It originated with a Mexican corre spondent of ii London paper. No ono pretends to con tradict tho charge of terrible crimes committed In the war, for such crimes are characteristic in Mexico. Congressman Kent or California, who knows Mexico and Mexicans, well throws a different light on Villa and the reason why he wagos a ruthless war. "I have had much experience In Mexico," Mr. Kent told the houso of representatives. "I have spent months In tho back country and can claim td have a knowledge of and s sympathy with ' the common everyday people, whom we vaguely know and often despise as peons, I havo been associated with some of the rich men, the plutocrat, the nickel-plated aristocrats, and a more Useless gang of crooks I nover met. These1 folk are In no senso an artlstocracy they never heard that 'noblesse oblige' Ihey have no regard whatever for their own common people. They despise them more than we do, look down upon them more than we do: but they Understand their methods of thought better than we do, are more prone to superficial politeness, and therefore- they Jire more popular with the common people than wo are." Then this about Villa! "Now, between us and a general war In Mexico there seems to be but one thlngr, and that Js the fact that there Is one man In Mexico, one strong man Villa, bandit to be sure, a child of Ignorant Indian parentage, who began an outlaw career because ho was robbed. Insulted and abused, started out on the hypothesis that he must make war against Mexican society In accordance with the only code he know, and that code Justified barbarous methods. With the little education he had he ' proved himself "to be a great leader of men. That man has been continually growing, not alonp In power but In knowledge of what the civilized world demands of him and In, tho knowl edge of tho needs of his country. Tho testimony I havo received from private sourqes Is. that he la a brave man who keeps his word, Ho has, In a crucial tlmo, had the courage of his convictions, and tho en lightenment, almost alone among his. people, to be lieve our protestations of disinterestedness, and seems to possess such a morvolous power of leadership as to hold the people In leash." "A Snperb Anlnial." Gregory Mason, Mexican correspondent of tho Out look, says of Villa: Physically Villa Is a superb animal. ITIs bullet shaped head Is set closely on a pair of heavy shoulders, which aro not, however, out of proportion with the test or his anatomy, for he Is built like a heavyweight wrestler. He Is dark for a Mexican, and of a smooth darkness that makes the talk Aji strain of nogro blood seem not Improbable. His most dis tinguishing toatures are his cruel mouth, which can smllo most unctuously, .npd his eyes, bloodshot, pro truding, and piercing, A reporter who saw them blaztnir at Ton-eon describes them as "the eyes of a man" who wilt some day go -crary." They have a certain Intelligence or craftiness, but they aro not eyes to Inspire trust. They tell me a lot ot stories about Villa. "While some aro probably false, like some of tho series they tell about Lincoln, like the Lincoln stories they give you n. pretty good Impression of tho man. It Is said that he killed his best man at his weddlror that Is, tho original ceremony performed before he was fa mous! that ho roobe'd' a' poor prospector' who be friended him, , and that when a friend, in congratutat IliK' hlm upon' a. victory, 'compared' him with Napotedn,' the mbol cldpf asked 'CJulet 's cste tfran 'hombre?" "Who is this groat" man?"" Like all uneducated Mexicans, he had the most profound Ignorance of the United Btatos until bis contact with the educated peoplo of his race, following his sudden rise to1 promlnonce, forced knowledge upon htm. He once got Into an argument with 'an American over the relative site of Mexico and the United States. "I know Kl Paso 14' 'not1 the largest town- in the United Htatos," said Villa. ' ."I have heard there Is a lurser place called Chicago. But look at this" and hero he took a map of Mexico drawn on a large scolo and placed It over a small scale map pt the United States, which it more than covered. "Ahal'' he . shouted, triumphantly. "You see by your own maps that your country is smaller than mine." It Is ito Villa's credit that ho taught himself to read during his stay In a federal prison and that he admits his Ignorance, having sevoral times put It forward as a reason why Carranza, an educated man. and not he, blunt soldier, should be president of Mexico In the event of the complete triumph of con stitutionalism Yet those who know him best say that ho Is Inordinately ambitious, and that months' ago, with only a handful of tattered horsemen imlils oommand, he was planning to bo president, or at least governor of Chihuahua. Knlit Ills Promise. Another side of Vlllq Is thus sketched by N. C. Adossldes in tho American " Review ot Kevluws: Villa Is, above all his allotted, virtues and deficiencies, a man ot superb courage, and,, tenacity and at rare Intervals he can be even kind and chivalrous. During his bandit day ho went ono afternoon with a few ot his fathful followers to a ranch, near the, town, of Banta Rosalie. ' ',- - Ithls ranch was owned by a -Mr. Gunther. a Belgian and a naturalised American citizen, who bad married a Moxlcan woman renowned for ' her beauty and spirit. Mr, Gunther raised the finest Yarng horses In Mexico and these were tha object of Villa's visit. Arrived at the ranch he was Informed that the owner was away, whoreupbrf hd Instructed a servant to announce him to Mre. Gunther. Sho decided to re ceive the famous outlaw, but under tho protection of the American fine The Stars and Stripes were hoisted In the court yard and the hostess appeared. Villa, unabashed by the formality of his reception, asked permission to visit the stables, coolly urging that, his own horses were old and worn out and that .It would be necessary to replace them. Mrs. Gunther refused to grant permission, reminding him that h; husband was not theie to authorise such k proceeding. "Very well." was the amiable assent, "but would you not allow me to smoke a cigarette and look Into your beautiful eyesf" She pointed to the American flag, and while the bandit's sentimental gaze was so distracted she cov ered htm with her pistol- 'iflut whyT" he queried: "you ore my countrywoman!,' "But an American citizen." was the calm retort. The daring rover gallantly rciriovrd his sombrero, boned and departed, promising that he would never under any circumstances attack the Gunther property. And he kept his promise. r The fact that a young American has been under a murder charge awaiting trial in Italy for more than a year, is a reminder that the law's .delays are not entirely peculiar to the United States. People and Events , e ees. 3LJL People, who look upon "14" as a hoodoo number are reminded (hat a Ot Iouls couple, ' married on May 13. KM. happily celebrated the sixty-third an nlversary of the event. Judge Kersten of Chicago sent to Jail for four months one lawyer Hllle, who made faUe state ments to tho court, thereby securing the ' release of a notorious crook awaiting trial. Commissioner of Corrections Davis of "New H'ork, who recently visited Omaha, received a sharp call down this wek for prohibiting callers, on Police In spector Becker tn the Tombs prison. Miss Davis' order was revoked oy the higher-ups.

To tho Editor of The Bee: Nebraskans wherever they may be carry with them their loyalty to their home state, and their Interest In everything that pertains to Its welfare and advancement; so Nebraskans every where, who ar awake to the possibili ties Involved, are keenly anxious to see Nebraska -represented In a fitting manner as to her building and tho exhibit of her great resources and productiveness when the world sets forth Its progress and Its products at the Panama-Paclflo Interna tional exposition. Wo Nebraska.s on the coast, who see at closer range the vast scope of the exposition, the widespread Interest mani fested by all civilized nations. Indicating an Unprecedented attendance, and the groat lncreoso In appropriations made for representation over those at any previ ous exposition, are particularly concerned that their friends at homo should realize the supreme Importance of putting Ne braska's representation In overy way on a piano worthy of her dignity and of tho high standing of her citizenship. If you realize fully tho Immense Im portance this project Is to the state, we think your pen will be tipped with fire to Inspire In your communities nn intense and ardent determination to do their share toward Its success. If you so desire, I will be glad to send you somo literature on tho exposition, giving In a condensed form the work al ready accomplished and tho future plans.

Kdltor of The Beo: If I mistake not, mere is now nn organized movement at Lincoln, secretly backed by a powerful Church Clique, by which tn crlnnlA nr control tho republican party, and to nominaio candidates discordant to the public. Their chler aim Is to nominate candidates for governor and railway commissioner. The people should Im mediately look Into this matter. The spectaclo witnessed for th loot month in our normal schools In shlfttns a nroiessor rrom Dan to Beeshcba, and from Lincoln to Kearney Indicates tho existence of a powerful church clique organized to control republican nomina tions. They havo no political sentiments, except to absolutely dominate by brute force and trickery. Two months ago that clique was exposed to the public. Since that tlmo their agents have been aecretlv at work to manipulate republican poli tics. Many of their emissaries, no doubt, aro adherents of tho democrats, but that part of the machlno Is hidden In dark ness away from public view. There are three important problems be foro the people: First, the making of a new constitution. Second, the revision of the common .schools., and third, the Improvement of somo of our best water power sites. These problems aro so Im portant that any person should see that Standard OH and the Bopk .trust must be secretly at work to cpntrol the republi can party and thereby control all legisla tion atrcctlng those subjects. Democratic policies, if they have any, have proven a fallure. and tho people see It, and wl)l again support the republicans If the nomi nees are right. Suppose those men succeed and noml nsto a ticket, and a farce Is mado of school law revision and the new constitu tion and In addition, tho water powers of the state are allowed to fall Into tho control of Standard OH. After this Is accomplished If .you see 'Standard Oil endowing a certain ecclesiastical univer sity of the state, what will you think ot ItT The action of the normal board dis closes the fact that the movement has no relation to party nolltlcs. Thv hv masked the whole proposition with .ro- puDiicanism, but back. In the dark Is the real Tammany tiger. If renuhllcnnUm can bo crossed up In that way, there Is a certain democrat who may stand a chance for tho governorship. This same movement Is designed to send n-stntn nr. fleer to congress by way of trade. . . inree state papers of wide circulation, having shades of nolltlm tmm viih,.r Journalism to the bull moose down to lammany, are also employed to say nice things of a)l candidates and suggestions coming from tho new movement. A hr. rel ot salt will help some. If the men involved are so conscientious aa .they, have formerly nrofesscd. whv.h.vn "i,... abandoned prohibition in ordor to re organize the republican parfy? The ln- dlcatlon la that a "broad-and-busy"' platform, as Mr. Harrison used to say',' is necessary to hold alt of fhem. How can all those shades of Journalism Inculcate prohibition?, gych Is' nqihing less than a bad case of political transfusion. To attend the primary election will not be a bad Idea. WALTER JOHNSnV Calhonn'a (Irenlm-u. BRUSH, Colo.. May 13. To the Editor of The Bee; Your correspondent "Der Heide'a" characterization of John C. Calhoun. Is one of the Intemperate and erroneous criticisms which, though It may "tickle the groundlings," Is likely to mako the Judicious griove." I am Inclined to think that If "Der Hclde" should read the life of Calhoun In "The American Statesman series." he would have reason to modify his Intemperate Judgment of the KTeat South Carolinian whose whole political life, from his speech In the House ot Representatives on the resolution Justifying the war ot Ui: to the hour of hla death, Illustrated, as have few other lives of publlo men- devotion pure, lofty and unselfish de votion to principle. It was In the speech advocating the war of 1R1J that Mr. Cal houn employed the phrase with which captious critics later sought to confound him. , iz:- "The world may understand that the honor ot this rtatlon Is not yet sunk." While It Is true that later he was of the theory that ours was not at that time ."a nation," but . was "a con federacy," yet Impartial critics agree that the word, "nation." employed by Mr Calhoun In 1S1! was suggested by the ardor of youth, and by the Impulse of the occasion rather than by the corl and discriminating- analytical power that characterized his later speeches and writings. "Mr. Calhoun was "a man of light and leading," a type" of statesman sadly needed In these later days of ours, a publlo official who realized that the representative of the people should serve "them, not only with fidelity, hut also with Intelligence. He was the sdrt of man that the late Senator Hoar of Massachusetts had In mind when he wrote: "The man who has not the courage to resist '.public opinion when It is wrong cannot be, trusted to reflect public opinion when It Is right As represeMtallv?. as senator, as secretary of state, and as" Vice president. Mr Cal houn was truly a great statesman, a great patriot, a great man. If any evi denee were needed. It mleht h fmmrt In the words of the one most eompe tent to form an opinion on that subject. It was Daniel Webster who. In speaking of "Der Helde's" "unscrupulous noli. tlclan" said: "Nothing mean or low or. sordid ever came near the heart or th head of Mr. Calhoun." It seems to me "Der Hclde" should be more prudent In the use of his superla tive vituperation when he writes of sub jects and of men that he apparently knows so little of. I have read a number of his letters In Tho Bee. and I seldom lay them aside that I do not feel the trenchant force of t his sentence of Carlylo'a: "A man has no right to an opinion. He should know."
