Pointi of Agreement.
It Is worth noting that the only topics on
which Colonel Roosevelt ling made publlo pro
nouncement since his return from South Amer
ica are thoso In which there Is the most substan
tial agreement between the different elements
of republicans past and present.
The colonel Is emphatic in his opposition to
the proposed Colombian treaty, with Its apol
ogetic preface and its $25,000,000 hand-out as
balm for wounded feelings. He rightly de
clares that such a backdown by our government
I uncalled for and Inexcusable, and should not
be tolerated by the peoplo of this country.
Again, on the exemption of our own coast
wise shipping from Panama canal tolls, the
colonel lb distinctly opposed to repeal either as
a concession to Great Britain or as a relinquish
ment of our hope to hold and develop this car
rying trade. The farthest he would go would
be to consent to arbitrate any claims set up by
Great Britain alleging violation of treaty obli
gations. While on both these propositions as they
como up In congress Individual difference will,
of course, be manifested among members of all
the parties, the opposition will be practically
made up of republicans and progressives stand
ing together as against partisan-blinded demo
crats supporting whatever the administration
demands. If the opposition elements can get
together on these two questions of most far
reaching importance, they can and w get to
gether on other things as well.

The Voice of TTimrnrn.

Or lulled by falling waters," wrote the poet.
Many poets have sung their paeans of praise to
the lark. "The lark whoso notes do beat tho
vaulty heaven, so high above our heads," wrote
Shakespeare. With Milton it "startled the dull
night.'' And yet again says Juliet:
H I, the lark that sings so out of tune,
Stralnlns harsh dlicords and unpleairin sharps,
Soma say the lark makes aweet division.
In which voice of the lark shall the voice of
Xlagara speak? Nations are ready to be lulled
by the music of gentle falling wnters, awakened
from the nightmare of war by tho sweet notes
of peace perfected. But our nation stands
committed to this, that
A nation's right to speak a nation's voice,
And own no jower but a nation's choice!
And this has full sway at this Niagara Falls
council of mediation. It Is peace we keek,
peace we love, peace wo fervently hope for, but
honorable peace, not "peaco at any cost." No
doubt tho majority of Americans, beseeching
the God of peace to avert war, are deep In the
conviction that our nation has up to now done
all It honorably could do to secure the ends of
Justice, honor and honorablo peace In Mexico.
Wo have from tho first pursued with grave In
tent the purpose of leading our neighbor out of
Its turmoil and, strife onto hlghor ground, and
success of the effort will be written large on the
pages of history.

Mr, Mellen's testimony makog perfectly
Clear the current beUef that Mr. Morgan went
on the theory that one mind was sufficient to
tjo all the thinking necessary for one group of
railroads and banking Institutions.
According to Mr. Mellen, no railroad presi
dent Is entitled to a salary of more than $25 .
000 a year, yet being unwilling to admit htm',
iwlf of less value than any other railroad presi
dent, he reluctantly conientod to Elvo himself
560,000 a year.
Omaha Abroad.
A Wall street broker, J. P. Cobb, who visited
Omaha during tho week, has beon quoted as
"iiying some very complimentary things of this
city's business stability. Ho pronounced It, In
fact, the'brlgtu spot on tho map," and pre
dicted greater brightness for tho future.
As Mr. Cobb is Identified with real estate
Investment In Omaha and koeps a closo watch
on Its progross, his opinion, of course, may be
regarded as of some real value, based, nt least,
on more than mere hearsay knowledge. Our
city Is, Indood, strong and substantial commer
cially and Industrially, and yet while finding
satisfaction in this, wo should not overlook nn
othor criticism abroad which Is not quite as
favorable aa Mr. Cobb's.
If "an honest confession Is good for the
bouI." then Omaha should profit by the con
fession that, as we frequently hear from In
vestors, wo havo given ground for a good deal
of unfavorable and docldodly unprofitable criti
cism of our treatment of outsldo capital. As
a city we have been too Indifferent to It on
more than one occasion. Nothing Is gained by
attempting to Ignore the fact that foreign cap!
tal has become Just a bit squeamish about ac
cepting our Invitations because It has found
(self on the anxious seat too often, The city
I& charged rather promiscuously with being
careleps of living up to the spirit, as well as the

whether true or false, Is not helpful to a com

!Ot Tlf OMAHA. May .-To the Edi
tor of The Bee: The carnival that la
now being carried on at the corner nf
Twenty-fourth and O streets. South
Omaha, may be rredltabte In aom way
and probably Is, but from the number of
gambling games that are going on openly,
It seems to me that It Is a disgrace to
any city. ..
Hkln games and gambling of all kinds ,'
are being carried on at from fifteen to
twenty stands and many young "auclcera"
are being drawn Into them. One man
told the writer that he saw one young
man from the country fleeced out of 11 S
at one of the gambling stands, and that
he saw others beaten out of their hard
earned money by th gambler. Games
of chance and akin games that were
kicked out of th Omaha carnival grounds
last year flourish in fine shape here th'.s
week. AX ETE WITNESS.
Oilta It Another Blander.
BROKEN BOW, Xeb May B.-To the
Editor of The. Bee; All patriotic cltlrens
of the United States, regardless of party,
ought to stand with the president In hla
efforts to avett war. The people of the
t'nlted States do not want a war with
Mexico or with any other nation. The
military spirit is dormant and must go.
CJltlxens are glad to see It. We heartily
believe that (he Wilson administration Is
honest In Its deslra to avert war; but.
either from had advice or from a la
mentable Ignorance of International law
or of the ordinary usage between civil
lied nations. President Wilson is con
stantly making blunders which have a
tendency to make war more probable. He
la apparently proceeding on the false as
sumption that the o-callcd constitutional
Ista are a higher class of citlzena, pos
sessing a higher dogrp of patriotism,
having more honest purpose than the
federals, when anyone at all conversant
with the Mexican situation knows that It
Is not true.
Hla last announcement was that any
settlement made by the mediators must
Include a readjustment of the land laws
of Mexico and a more equitable distribu
tion of Its lands. Mexico ha no govern
ment lands, its lands being owned by a
few people( most of them tracing their
titles back td the Spanish conquest
ftle which have not been disturbed for
SO) yenrs and which are supported by the
laws of the republic. It Is a most absurd
and preposterous proposition that the
head of a sister republic should presume
to dom'nate, control nnd dictate the
private law of a sister republic which
are entirety domesttc In their nature. It
would have been Just a reasonable had
Great Britain at the close of the civil
war undertaken to say that there must
be a redistribution of the land of the
south and that the southern negro be
given a part of the binds of their recent
owner before Great Britain would recog
nise our republic. From the time that
Frestdent Wilson refused to recognize the
llucrla governmont and tacitly at leaat
aided the murderer. Villa, to the present
time, the administration ha made one
blunder after another.

Deals with the Devil
ChlcBCo New: Xo other common
carrier In the country Is in so pitiable a
condition morally, at least. No other
railroad ha been so Jockeyed by false
friend nor o bitterly assailed by open
enemies. I thl what I gained by a
tolerant and broad-minded readiness to
dicker with the devil? If so, Mr. Mellen
preached a powerful sermon when he
thought he was making an epigram.
Chicago Record-Herald: Today there
exists an awakened public conscience that
Is wiping out the "necessity" for dealing
with the devil. Every dual wtth bm I a
crooked deal. What all the people want
1 a square deal. Business Is entitled to
It; It Is equally the publo' right. The
nation should thank Mr. Mellen for his
frankness and Jil phrase. It burn, Xt
It bo the radium applied to th cancer,

and Ingratiating gentlemen you could

ell. Why. It ta on record that he once
offered all the kingdoms of the world 'at
a great barraln hi asking prlc being
merely that the buyer should fall down
and worship him. But that waa a whole
sale transaction, which didn't come off.
The devil, however, I always ready to do
business at retail, He peddle hi ware
wherever he can find a purchaser. And
he I certain to turn up whenever the
rumor geta about that a rich man or a
powerful corporation, with more money
than scruple's, la in the market. Ha sud
denly appear aa an adroit seller of gold
brinks, a skilled unloader of worthies
proptrtlt. the mod successful agent ever
known in the business of addition, di
vision and alienee. Anybody wishing to
do business with the dvi may count
upon finding him, ready for a trade, at
the same old stand.

In the mass of report covering last summer's
war among the Balkan allies In and about Macedonia
there appeared overwhelming testimony of atrocious
crimes against lite and property committed by Bul
garia army. These report were vigorously denied
at the time, and several Americans who were In or
near the stricken region affirmed the truth of Bul
garia' denial. But the Greeks and Servians had
more direct accea to the press of the world and
their Joint accusations, persistently reiterated, 'largely
moulded public opinion against the Bulgars. - The
wide belief thus created 1 now shown to be grossly
unjust to Bulgaria. The vindication of King Ferd
inand and his people Is contained In the report of the
International commission lent Into the Balkan penin
sula last year on behalf of the Carnegie Peace
Foundation to Investigate charges ot -atrocities made
on all aide. The report, which wa made public In
Xew Tork thl week, consist of some S book pages,
with maps and photographs and apendlce giving
the testimony of witnesses examined by the com
mission. The conclusions ot the commission are that
the Greek army ruthlessly spread death and desola
tion everywhere, sparing neither young nor old; that
the Servians were a close second to the Greek In
savagery, and that the Bulgars. Instead of being the
masterhand of atrocities, ranked third the comm's
slon finding only three Instance of murderous
slaughter chargeable to the latter. The appalUng
record of man' Inhumanity piled up by the commis
sion Is a startling Indictment of greed, creed am)
racial savagery, which mocks the Balkan pretense of
a civilization superior to the Moslem,
Thr Irish Squabble.
Irish home rule I moving steadily toward ac
complishment, despite threats and parliamentary
artifices of tho opposition. The third nd final
passage by the Jlouse of Commons la expected by
Tuesday next, possibly sooner. The bill then goes to
the House of Lords, which Is allowed by the Parlla
went act thirty day to consider the measure. Should
the peer fall to act In that time, home rule becomes
a law with the assent of the king. By the end of
June, therefore, Ireland will have recovered In part
the legislative. Independence which the fo'rbeara of
the torles of today destroyed 113 year ago. Premier
Asqulth has announced that an amending bill will be
introduced a soon a the parent measure Is out of
the way. A yet the nature of the amendments I
wholly conjectureal. Conference are now proceeding
with the object of arriving at a settlement by con
aent. Outwardly, at leaat. the nationalists and the
Ulsterite maintain their 'old hostility, but there is
confidence In many quarters that a round table con
ference of Asqulth. Bedmoid and Carson will event
ually produce satisfactory results. The revolt Jn the
tory ranks against playing party politics up to the
verge of civil war, and the' sudden revival of the
Irish volunteer movement, springing irj. life with
as much ardor as the "Volunteers of '9S." carries an
Impressive warning to last ditchers.
China's Presa (ing I.nrr.
The first unfailing sign of usurpation of power
is muzzling the press. Politicians and place hunters
of over nation, republic or monarchy cordially dislike
a free press and strive to muzzle It whenever pol
Me. China is the latest example of the usurper, ex
erting hla power to strangle the press and make
Chinese new nnd vlewa carry the official label. The
oldest newspaper In the world, the Peking Gazette,
a government organ for hundreds of year before the
downfall of the Manchu dynasty, now leads an or;
gantzatlon of publisher vehemently protesting
against a new law of censorship. Thl law, promul
gated by the government of Tuan Shlh Kal, provides
for a newspaper license fee of from J3J0 to J700 per
annum, the amount being graded according to the
frequency of the publication. Authority Is vested In
the police of the locality .of publication, and they
may pounce upon an offending publisher whenever
In their Judgment published new or opinion violates
the law or hurls their feelings. Publication of Ju
dicial proceedings, diplomatic, military or nayal af
fair; la prohibited, and attacks on the ftovemment
are penalized by fines The Peking correspondent of
the Xew York Post, commenting on the Chinese muz
xte. explains the cause In this sentence: "The plain
truth of the matter la that the power of the press,
although a new phenomenon in the orient, has been
a matter of deep concern to the politicians, especially
In China and Japan."
War Scorr and Bnilarta.
War scares and bigger navy agltthlon mark the
reassembling of the German Belchstag. The alleged
development of the Russian army la effectively
worked an a prelude to bigger appropriations. Old
a the game Is, when given a semi-official tag the

aside for a year. There Is no doubt of thq deter
mination of the German government to press forward
both army and navy plans until both establishments
ore able to cope with any contingency that may
arise, east or west. The army Is believed to be In a
state (if preparedness unsurpassed in Europe. In
naval power only one superior I conceded. Develop
ment In this line already doubles the naval strength
of France, and approved plans provide for tripling
Germany's ea superiority over Its western neighbor.
Agitation for a bigger navy Is systematic, aggressive,

which make the Naval league a mighty power In
