Justice Dies at a Picnic Ileadlln.
Reading tho story, however, discloses tho
pleasing consolation that It was only a justice
of the peaco.
The St. Louis Republic refers to "a United
Illinois democracy." Yea, for Instance, the
Brpran crowd, tho Roger Sullivan, the Wllllam
alsorandolph Hearsts, Jimhamlowlscs nnd a few
other brands. ' " "-"
AllenlstB In session at Chicago have gono on
record as favoring "dry" legislation. Thoy
might also advocate a fow laws to bolster up
their ctanding with tho public as professional

Villa repines over tho peaceful retirement of
Huerta, wishing ho had stuck around till Villa
could have reached the capital and flnlshod him.
But Huerta delayed for a whole year tho in
vaders' Christmas dinner In the national palace.
"The fact that Senator Hitchcock has voted
for the redemption of every pledgo made to the
people in the campaign of 1912 does not count
with Brother Charley," so we aro toJd by the
senator's own organ. Yes, but what about tho
solemn pledgo of free Panama tolls for Amer
ican coastwise shipping?
Our reform democratic sheriff and his law
yer think they have revived the old fee graft for
all the sheriffs of the state, who will doubtlpss
now be invited to give the aforesaid lawyer a
commission to raid the public troasury for their
back collection on a contingent fee. And then,
again, they may havo to think again.
The colonel denounces District Attorney
Whitman as "either a hopelessly timid weakling
or olse in leaguo with Boss Barnes," because ho
has failed to announce publicly his opposition
to Barnes. There Is room for suspicion that
tho real reason Is becauso Whitman, Instead of
proclaiming his allegiance to Boss Roosevelt,
has Insisted on being free from all bosses.
Bryan's Votes-forWomen Pronouncement.
The pronouncement made by Secretary
Bryan In favor of votos for women Is, wo be
lieve, the strongest statement of tho case on the
suffrago side wo have seen. It Is concise, dig
niflod and to the point, and In his usual lucid
style. One foaturo of Mr. Bryan's argument
differs from tho stock apeechos of the profes
sional suffrage champion, for ho concedes that
many 'well meaning mon and women" nro op
posed, and that their objections are "honestly
advanced." It is refreshing to read a plea for
votes for women that does not accuse everyone
of different opinion with being in the hire ot
tho liquor interests or allied with tho big crim
inal corporations.
Tho weak spot lh Mr. Bryan's statement is
the cxcubo for Its tardy appearance, which ho ex
plains ns "partly becauso 1 havo been seeking
information, and partly because my timo has
been occupied with national questions," while
tho Issue la "but now prosentod In my state."
Tho truth Is tho issue was presented in- Ne
braska three years ago, when tho legislature,
strongly dominated by Mr. Bryan's democratic
friends, was nsked to submit a suffrage amend
ment, but was deterred from doing so by Mr.
Bryan's personal refusal to sunctlon It. Mr.
Bryan presumably did not wish to precipitate
tho controversy In tho faco of tho then Impending
presidential campaign, and It would have been
better had ho frankly said so.
That ho takes his position and makes It
known at this particular time is doubtloss In
tended for a doublo offect. Presumably It Is
for tho benefit of tho coming democratic plat
form convention, and at tho same timo to take
the edgo off tho resentment of tho suffrage
women at President Wilson's unsympathetic nt
tltudo. As a political stroke, however, Colonel
Roosovelt beat Mr. Bryan to It, and may now
be expected to hand back tho charge of trying
to steal his clothes.
Conditions in New Mexico.
The editorial of The Bee relating to condi
tions in Now Mexico In connection with the
shooting of Ralph Connell has caused much com
ment .and Borne criticism by nowspapcrs In that
state Thoso critics should know that Tho Bee
has no desire to unjustly reflect on our sister
Btato. Tho Beo expressly stated that Now Mex
ico could pot bo hold rcsponslblo for this tin
Justlfiablo murder, but could only bo held re
sponsible for the discovery and prosecution of
thoso who committed and Instigated the crime.
Everybody conceded that tho shooting of Ralph
Connoll rom ambush In broad daylight while
riding with his llttlo D-year-old daughter on a
government road was n most cowardly and un
justifiable crime. Tho duty, therefore, de
volved on tho authorities of Now Mexico to
bring tho perpotrators of tho crime to Justice
To say, as was said In one newspaper of New
Mexico, that It seemed unllkoly tho guilty par
ties would bo discovered, would Indicate n pur
poso on tho part of aomo of tho community to
condono tho crlrao, to protect the criminals In
plnco of making them answer to the law. The
Bee is glad to noto that sinco publication of Its
editorial reforred to tho authorities of New Mex
ico have caused arrests to bo made and parties
charged with the murder of Ralph Connell to be.
bound over to await the action ot tho grand
Jury; tho ono chnrgod with tho actual shooting
being committed without ball. Thli action Is
cortnlnly to bo commended as manifesting
a proper spirit on tho part of tho New Mexico
authorities.

that Is about all that Amos has done up to date
for the cause of the moose, except, of course, to
meet his assessments. The answer which
young Amos received was that "Perkins Is tho

ST. PAUL. Minn.. July 17. To tho
Editor of The Ben: Again The Bee Is
right Tho slate of Minnesota la new In
volved In a series of lawaulta trying to
get land to build an electric line con
necting the main campua of the. state
university In Minneapolis wlth'the farm
campua out here. Tho people, now ss
the nltako In not consolidating the two
Bchooln as they have a chance of doing"
with the University of Nebraska.
Men who want to tako ngrlculluic In
the University of Minnesota cannot bo
from ono campus to another without
wasting so much time that many cannot
tako agriculture unless two full ails of
teachora are maintained, doing the same
work at both schools. This hna kept o
many from taking work In the college of
agiiculturo that the state decided to build
a railway connecting tho two schools and
run fast cars between th,o two points.
Realizing tho need of college men In agri
culture, they appropriated money to do
tho work. At Nebraska tho street car
service Is poor and tho timo lost in going
back and forth keeps many out ot agri
cultural work.
Few people know that tho organized
fight against university rcmovnl la
hocked by boarding houso owners, and
tho business men of Lincoln, who aro
afraid n little trade will go to University
Place or HaVelock, and they don't care
about tho future of the university. Tha
Uee is right In Its stand.

EMERSOX, la., July 17.-To the Editor
of Tho Bee: In your lssuo of July 11 S.
E. Hmlth says! "It Is amusing- to read of
somo statements made by suffragist lead
ers In Nebraska. All of them are forced
to admit that we have better laws than
tho equal suffrage states."
Mr. Smith is most amusing-. M'e would
Infer that he believes that mon, alone,
are responsible for all the good laws of
Nebraska. From a personal knowledge ot
the work ot tho Woman's Christian Tem
perance union and the Kodcratcd
Woman's Clubs of Iowa and Illinois I
can safely state that tho women of those
two states have been largely responatblo
for the enactment of many good laws,
such aa the pure food law, ago of con
sent, antl-clgarette, etc. And what Is true'
of these two states Is true of others,
probably of Xobraska. We believe that
If Xebraska women had Auffrago they
would close many of your saloons.
Women, now to the use of the ballot,
expect a square deal, but when once de
ceived aro not often caught napplny tho
second time. Becauso one woman turned
back after one year of suffrage work
doos not prove that tho cause Is at taultj
there aro men as woll as women who are
first cousins to "Lot's wife.' and lack
backbone and aticktoatlvcness. Suffrage
was not "forced upon the majority hy the
chivalry of men, but rather by tho per
sistence of women. The Prohibitionist
says: "Let us get rid of the idea that a
woman Is a camphorated female, need
ing the mothball of masculine solicitude,
to whom is to be sedulously dented all
right to consider and solve the large prob
lems that ao vitally affect the home life."

SOUTH OMAHA; Neb., July 16To tho
Editor of The Hee: All who live In the
vicinity of Spring Lake park were greatlv
relieved when they heard that the swim
ming pool will be closed and all of them
hope that the closing will be permanent.
It became an intolerable nuisance to all
who live near the park, and If It Is re
opened thero Is apt to bo a protest. With
thousands of all kinds ot people going
down there every hour of the twenty
four and polluting the water with all
kinds of filth so that It was not fit for
hogs to wallow In, let alone human do
lngs, It Is time the pool was closed.
As 1 have said before, that was the
finest natural park In the country, and
people from other states have admired
Its naturat beauty, but Its beauty has
been greatly marred and almost ruined
by cutting down so many stately trees,
by cutting the roadway through art
making ugly clay banks in place of slopes

Lord Northcllffe, himself the owner of powerful
London dallies, writing to an American newspaper,
says that Ulster Protestants regard home rule for
Ireland aa "Rome rule." Says the National Ilevlcw
of London: "There are three things necessary for
thote who fight for a great cause. The first is
religion, the second Is leadership, the third is the
wherewithal to equip, arm and organlxe an army.
The Ulster men possessed all three." So pro and con
the discussion wages, the question Is the big- one all
over Britain today. Sir Edward Carson In a fighting
spech at Drumborg, near Belfast, said: "The gov
ernment seems to be in great difficulty. I'll help It
out. I'll give It our alternatives give us a clear cut
for Ulster or como and fight us. There Is no alterna
tive possible. They must make up their mlnda once
for alt whether they are going to put us down or
leave us alone." And yet, despite the tensity of feel
ing, all found time for the celebration of the 233th
anniversary of tho Battle of Boyne, Orangemen and
nationalists allko exercising wise restraint.
Krery Knock n llorat,
A. Henry Savage Landor. the Londoner who
poked fun at tho claims made by the Infallible dis
coverer of the RJver of Doubt and got himself charac
teristically consigned to tho Ananias club, Is out with
this Impudent statement In the London press: "The
so-called Roosevelt controversy haa so advertised my
work that I must remain here (In London) to super
vise tho getting out of new editions. I fall to see
any signs of the attack against mo which Mr. Roose
velt promised yesterday, and I see no reproduction ot
the wonderful letter from his friend In London about
the River Chestnut which they Jointly discovered."

The political strain growing out of the assassina
tion of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife con
tinues to grow more Intense as a disturbing factor
to Balkan peace. The, "Greater Servla" propaganda
haa provoked a reported avowal on tho part of Aus
trian officials that their government will yet destroy
this power and estop the union of Servia and Monte
negro, which, It Is said, must come, if at all, by
forco of arms. Then stands Germany stolidly behind
Austria. Xow another Inmb bursts along the Balkan
bonier, figuratively speaking. A hand-mado shell,
calculated to obtain the crar's capricornus, went off
recently while the Russian ruler and his family were
on their way to Odessa. True, It missed fire, but It
lit up a lot of excitement and started i evolutionary
talk anew, adding Its volume to the noise of mys
terious and ominous rumblings rolling over tho waves
and shores of the Bosphorus.
Herniation of Kmlaratlon.
Only the other day an American agent for a
Canadian steamship lino was charged with ulterior
Influences In drawlnc potential soldiers off from Aus-tro-Hungary
as Immlgranta to swell the revenues ot
his company. Comes now the report. In similar
strain, that one of the big American tines has con
tracted with the government of Hungary to regulate
traffic to America. The Hungarian government Is to
provide a largo annual subsidy, the company to form
an Independent concern, giving ships Instead ot
money, as Hungary wants tho vessels. But, however,
this compact may Interfere with American immigra
tion regulations, Hungary will see to It, as provided
In the contract, that no youth under 25, who haa not
finished his military service, leaves the land. Certain
argus-eyed prophets of peace on this side of the water
may aeo in tho near future the picture of universal
amity, but evidently It Is not so distinct to spectators
along the murky shores of southern Europe.

After holding a caucus on a street comer, they

Cy Perkins assented, and they ordered for din

produced a silver dollar, waved his hand ln a lordly

"Take the damage out of this, and keep the

The waiter came as near to looking eniDarrassed

that tha bill was more than a dollar. He presented
It In writing. It amounted to cents. Jim. after
