"In this country," wo aro toJd, "tho fact that a man Is a recognized expert on any subjoct is sufficient to mako tho typical politician and bureaucrat regard him with suspicion, and accept with re lnctanco or entirely reject his vlows." Not con tent with this mild rcforenco It continues: Tho United States Is tho worst governed civilized country on earth. Its clt. state nnd national legis lature! and administrations aro wasteful. Inefficient and otlm corrupt. Tho chef cause of tho wasto and Inofflclency Is tho habitual Ignoring of the expert by the polltlcan nnd bureaucrat. Whether or not tho oxport holds tno Kep to' tho situation, this Is indeed a sovoro lndict mont that challenges attention. Whon every business Is being systematized to moot require ments of economy nnd offlclency, tho continual neglect or- Indlfferenco to tho business of gov ernment by those who have most at stake and foot tho bulk of tho bills cannot holp but lead to wasto, extravagance and Inefficiency.

"An Immigrant boy who has been In New York only a year, now speaks six languages," says the Boston Transcript. He might havo spoken them all before he went to New York. Carrying It Altogether Too Far. For Nobraska, and regardloss of partisan ship, The Beo enters firm protest against tho palablo Injustice sought to bo porpetratod by tho World's Work In excluding our most dis tinguished fellow citizen from first magnitude rank as a statesmon. "The two most Interest ing subjects In politics are Mr. Wilson and Mr. RoosovoR," declares the World's Work. It re fers to thorn as "tho two strongest characters In political llfo," and again says that asldo from these two dominant figures the political world Is unusually devoid ot strong personality." To bo sure, It mentions Mr. Bryan In passing, but It mentions Mr. Underwood and Senator Borah ahead of him, and sidetracks him merely as a subordinate In the Wilson administration. Fin ally, as If to make a bad matter worse, It con eludes that "excepting Mr. Wilson and Mr. Roosevelt, our politics is not now filled with many commanding figures." So wo reiterate our protest that this Is carrying It altogether too far, for so long as Mr. Bryan romalns a factor In our politics thero can be no two "dominant" or "commanding" figures unless ho Is ono of them. Tho only con cession we would even consont to consider would bo to enlarge tho du-umvirate and make It a trl-umvlrato. Whero Is that old-fashioned country-town youth, who used to invest his weekly savings in a livery rig to take his best girl for ia Sunday afternoon drive? Is that be whizzing down the road in that seven-passenger touring car? One must close his eyes' with a shudder to think ot what Is In store for the vonerable Dr. McKelway, editor of the esteemed Brooklyn Eagle, who, dlsusslng the political status of Colonel Roosevelt, refers to him an "a reced ing reminiscence." In referring to our far-famed democratic United States senator tho Now York Times says, "Mr. Hitchcock entortalns the samo affection for Mr. Bryan that the dovll does for holy wator." Oh no! Tho sting of Ingratitude does not reach quite that far. A former sheriff of Lancaster county says he would feel like a "thief" If he tried to grab fees In addition to the salary which he agreed to serve the public for.

Tho barons of business, those Imperial po tentates, who mako and collect for the stylos of clothing woman must wear, have decreed that tho season shall begin with a short coat and end with a long ono. If It woro the other way around, of course, many women could savo tho prlco of a coat and yet meet the exacting de mands of tho fashions. They could buy the long coat, wear' It until time to put on the short ono and thon simply out It down to suit the length. But you never catch tho stylo kings asleep at the switch like that. There Is always mothod In their madness, tho kind ot mothod that passes current at the banks. "Why do the womon submit to tho Imposi tion?" demands the virtuous Doston Transcript.

In fact, according to advance notices, he would make a complete expose to the world of the in ner workings of the "hall" and a clean sweep ot the present sachem and all his satraps. If anyone can do this work, surely it Is Croker, for he ought to know Tammany from A to Z, and he ought to know Murphy, too. He ruled one and trained tho other. But that Is about as far as the Amorlcan people would care to go' with Sir Richard. If he has any notion of remaining after the Job is done, then ho might as well npt come In the first place. "I can sp-y without sucessful contradiction that the majority of the directors of the Harves ter Trust voted either for Wilson or for Tatt," says Medlll McCormlck, who has shouldered the burden of the bull mooso In Illinois, But the word ot the big bull moose still goes that "Per kins was the most valuable member ot the party In 1912."

Philadelphia Ledger: After Huerta, what? Well, an ambassador from the United States for one thing, and there aro several Nebraskans willing to take the Job. Washington Star: Even the distin guished example of the president of the United States could not tempt Mr. War burg to step forward and address con gress In person.

JTtw Tork Journal of Commerce. Tho arrival from Australia of the steamship Nor folk, a vessel of 5.631 gross tonnage, having Its five holds Insulated for the conveyance of refrigerated meat, emphasizes the fact that the movement lmthe Importation of foreign meat has com to continue. The Norfolk brought up from tho Antipodes between 3,000 and 4,000 tons of froien beef, mutton and lamb, and after discharging a portion at Boston camo Into port In New York City. This week Its master. Cap tain Hughes, will be discharging the meat, which makes up about half tho srlp's cargo, nt Nprton, Lilly & Co's. South Brooklyn pier, and will be ready for roturnlng direct to New Zealand and Australia. The meat has made a much much needed return cargo for vessels trading between New York and Austral sla. The first ventures made since the reduction In tho tariff on meat under the new law of last year havo 'been found sufficiently encouraging by the steamship owjiern nnd agents to put the service be yond the experimental stage, and monthly sailings are now scheduler right along, with a possibility that some seventeen ships of this special class of meat carriers well accustomed to the meat carrying trade from Australia to GTeat Britain will be used In the direct Australasian-North Atlantic American trade Instead of tho twolve now available, so as to give a threo weekly service. Third of Ile.nnlnr Direct Line. The orfolk I tho third of the ships of the Federal and Shlro line fleet to bo so employed. The Banff shire, tho first of this lino's meat ships, reached Bos ton May 18 and New York City May 24. It was fol lowed by tho Roscommon, which arrived here Juno 16. The Norfolk left Brisbane, Queensland, April 27, and called at Sydney, Queensland, Waltara, a small port where thero In a meat packing plant, and Lyttelton (New Zealand) and then coming by the Cape Horn route put in at Montevldo, where It received a con signment orf Uruguayan meat, consisting of 1,632 quarters of beef. Three other steamers ore loading on their way, neamely, tho Kent, the Sussex and the Hororata. niac nntl Little Shlpmra TU-nresentetl. Neariy all tho meat Importing houses of tho United States aro represented In these shipments. The larger quantities go to tho great packing houses of Armour and Swift, whllo Cooke & Co. take 5,999 quarters of beef and Thomas Borthurk & Sons several hundreds of carcases of sheep. Besides the frozen fore and hind quarters of beef and carcases of mutton and lamb the, cargo Included 1,000 cars of preserved meats and bags and packages of bones and other products of the cattle raising Industry. Among the miscellane ous cargo brought by tho Norfolk was a large ship ment of copper. The meat ships, It Is said, while the trade is developing, will complete their cargo with kauri gum, hemp and wool, much of which previously reached American ports only Indirectly, the exception being about four ships which arrived at Boston In the wool season. It Is likely that the Australasian-North Atlantto direct service will become definitely established llko the corresponding service to tho North Pacific coast ports from Australasia, so that each side will have a flourishing meat Import trade. There Is said to be no monopoly In the business, though the preat Chicago packing concerns, foreseeing the development several years ago and the Impending shortage of beef produc tion In tho United States, provided against the con tingency by Investing largely In cattle ranches and slaughtering and packing establishments along the River Plate, In Uruguay, and later In Australia, par ticularly tho northern territory, and In New Zealand, As common carriers, the line Is prepared to accom modate Independent and all shippers. Australian Ment Ports. The Australasian ports In geographical order at which meat Is shipped are as follows: Beef Cairns. Townsvllle, Bowen, Gladstone, Broadmount and Bris bane. Mutton, Lamb Newcastle. Veal, Beef Sy. ney, Melbourne, Bluff, Oamaru, Tlmaru, Lyttelton, PIcton, Wellington, Wanganul, Wautara, Napier and Glsborne. It Is expected that the opening of the Panama canal will accelerato the passage by ten to fifteen days. Thero Is no difficulty In obtaining this cargo, and the offer of space has been freely taken by the Aus tralian shippers, who are looking to finding ultimately an Immense market In the United States. That the bulk of the meat brought from Australia Is frozen and not chilled, It Is stated, Is due to the distance. The time taken In tho case of the Norfolk from Brisbane to Now York with tho Intermediate ports ot call being eighty-three days, and the greater amount that can bo carried of frozen meat as compared with the chilled meat, the carcases of which require to be hung without coming Into contact with each other, so that there Is a greater chance of profit on the trans portation risk. Chilled meat, again, must be mar keted Immedately to prevent deterioration, but there seems no reason why ships properly equipped should not find the conveyance remunerative and that the demand for consumption In the United States should not give an outlet for tho supply on the basis of reasonable ocean freight rates. It may be added that strict orders have been re cently Issued and are being enforced on the South Brooklyn piers at the Instance of the United States Department of Agriculture through the tocal office of the bureau of animal Industry that all persons en gaged In the unloading of Imported fresh meats from vessels, cars, etc., and the handling and lugging of the meat on docks, piers, wharves, etc., must wear clean outer clothing of material which Is readily cleansed and made sanitary. The inspectors are to refuse to Inspect any product In connection with the handling of which there Is a failure or refusal to com ply with these requirements.
