! Only yesterday oarnost pacifists were
breathing out their gentlo dreams of disarma
ment. The United States linn just concluded
troatlos with twenty nations looking to 'the ex
tinction of war. but self-deceit only has denied
that every Rtep in the progress of recent Euro
pean events has pointed unerringly toward the
purpose of war. Tho Balkan turmoil was never
Bottled. It only ceased active operations.
Not in't tho laHt few years, certainly not in the'
last few montliH)(woe)cB or days, has any serious
effort .toward 'averting European war been ex
orcised. If it had been tho world would not

nominal Incident. 8hall tho star of Slavonic free

Issuo Is oh old as hlBtory. It should be settled
peacefully nnd would bo if our civilization were

No man can ufftUaUs fully with two parties that

tho less It Is possible for a candidate to affiliate with
both. To attempt to pretend to do so Is trickery, If

less "trickery" and no less "dishonesty" now
than it was when by a similar theft the electoral
vote of Nebraska was stolon for Bryan in 1D08,

tho warning to their representatives. It is
greatly- to tho credit of both tho Associated
Prices and tho,paperB it serves that thoy have
rigidly, adhered" to tho rulo of accuracy and Btin
ity in tholr roports of tho Mexican situation.
Not ono of thdlr correspondents has Incurred
any liability- under the rule.
A deportation, howover, has just been or
d.orod by Secrotfry Garrison. Tho offending ro
portor bolonga to. the "Newspaper Enterprise
Association," which supplies a number of even
ing pnpors in a tow cities. He sent out a .sensa
tional story to the of feet that an Amorlcan naval
officer had appliod.tho "law of flight" to Mex
ican prisoners. Tho story at onco attracted
g'onerat attention,- very particularly arousing tho
Intoroat of tho War department. An Investiga
tion by a duly- constituted court ot inquiry fol
lowed. Tho court .found the story to bo a pal
pable fnko, ono -of-tho kind of "scoops" which
this young mnnand others of the sumo service
oubtoBs arb gottlng on tholr rivals every day.
It flg roporl.ed to $0 secretary of war, who or
dorod Goncral Punston to doport tho enterprl

Wo are -not advised bt the total number ot
Amorlcan newspaper reporters serving in Mex
ico ut present, but, wo know It is largo. That
only ono should thus far be punished for faking
Is a trlbuto, nptnly to the young mon, but to
tho press, as u,.wlolo, which doplorcs the fact
that it has within It newspapers that stoop to a
deliberate fraud 6r to toy with human emotions
on tho gravest occasions. Tho fight tor facts
is the big task of tho decent papor, because ac
curacy s its chief asset. Yet, as thU case
shows, wo have a class of papers with which ac
curacy is a liability.

HASTINGS, Neb., July Xh-To the Editor
of The Bee: Now that our treaties are
put on tho shelf and the "dogs of war"
are out In Europe, why not offer to send
our secretary of state over to lecture on
the "prlnco of peace" at $40 per talk?
It might rftault In filling up the differ
ence between walking and having an
auto footman, etc.
By tho way Uld It ever occur to any
one that there might be some connect. ou
between that IB.OW.OoO to be paid to
Colombia and Kulin Loeb & Co., xyno lit
seme cases have purchased these bonds
nt a low price, and the appointment of
Paul Warburg, If I am tiuurnied cor
rectly he has only been a citizen three
years. What a howl would have gone,
up had the republican party done such
a thing. Have we no one on this side
big enough to handle this question?
1 was located twenty-two years in
Chicago and was In touch with the many
nble bankers end yet I never heard of
Jones as a banker. Years ago I did
know he was connected with the Piano
Manufacturing company1, mowciu, reapers
and binders, and I think sola out to the
trust. If you had a dear friend anu
wanted to show that friendship, would
you give him .inly one poor little share
of stock? But If you wanted two votes
on a board and you could Influence the
uleetlon of a man who would be able by
his knowledge of what you wanted and
waj ready and willing to do It, you would
consider him cheap at one share. Draw
your own conclusions, dear leader.
The democratic party each day Ia
making moro clear the fact that they do
not know how to run the government,
nnd those who helped to put them In,
will this fall throw enoug)i old wh.col
horses back Into the machine to at least
prevent nny further disaster.

Xfew TTork Times,
I In this time of passion and of peril the eyes ut
' the world turn to the German emperor as the chief
I mqrt .of Europe, the man who more than any other
has tho power to provoke or to avert a great war.
! Undoubtedly William II. by encouraging Austria in
Its madness and by giving to Its quarrel with Bervla
the appearance of a menace to Ilussla, might bring
the czar's great armed forces Into the conflict as a
pretext and provocation for a German inarch to the
front. Then France end England would be Involved
nnd the civilization ot Kurope woUid give way to
savagery, tho greatest war ot all human history would
be In progress. This Is too dreadful for Imagining,
and because It Is too readtul It cannot happen.
It Is equally beyond doubt that the kaiser by
exercising his great Influence In Vlenua and by re
assurances and counsels of moderation given In Ht
Petersburg can prevent war altogether or confine It
within local and narrow limits. 'T-nUt would be the
course ot highest wisdom for Germany, and In avert
ing a general war William II 'would ruuder such an
Inestimable service to humanity and would lift him
self so far shove all other living mn In the world's
lespect and admiration that It may confidently be
expected that he will In this critical time prove him
self again to be, what so long he ha been, a man
of peace.
The Interest of Germany, the true i-olicy of Ger
many cannot bu a mutter of doubt, there Is no plate
nor room for speculation. German Interests are not
Imperiled by the incidents which Austria has made a
cause of quarrel. Germany has nothing to fear from
tho ferment going on In the Balkan states, or, so far
as the world Is Informed, by any present tendencies of
Russian policy In that quarter. Germany, the kaiser
has said, wnnts Its' place In the sun. It is getting
It, It Is sure td enjoy It, but by peace, not by war.
In forty years of peace tho empire has made enor
mous strides In commercial and Industrial develop
ment. The giowthof Its manufactures, of Its Internal
trade, of Its foreign commerce, now amounting to
more than $4,000,000,00) a year, the opening up of Its
resources, and the Increase qf its Industrial produc
tion, and moro than all this, above all this, that
marvelous advance In technical training and profi
ciency which has aroused the wonder and the envy
of all other great nations these things are determin
ing tor the Interests and for the policy of Germany,
theso are Its treasures, this is Its place In the sup,
and no man knows It better than the emperor. From
the effects ot a great war Germany would not re
cover In forty years. Kurope would not recover In
forty 'years. The Inestimable benefit of mose decades
of peace which It has been the kaiser's pride and pur
pose to prolong would be destroyed. About the mo
tives of kings there can ba no certain reasoning, but
the compelling reasons which must now make Em
peror William a man of peace are visible to all the
world. '
A general European war Is unthlpkable. With
15,000,000 Ip tho field the bill ot costs Would be cer
tainly not less than $30,000,000 a day, and tho waste
and destruction would enormously add to It. Europe
cannot afford such a war, the world cannot afford It.
and "happily the conviction Is growing that such an
appalling conflict Is altogether beyond the range of
possibility. Austria Is unreasonable.' Servla's reply
to Its Ultimatum was a humiliating aeriant to hard
conditions, such an assent as none but a weak power
would have given. Everything was granted, save only
that a little time iter consideration was asked upon
one demand which never ought to have been made.
Austria's Interpretation of the reply Is such as no na
tion careful of Its reputation would ever have made,
since all tho world can see .that It wantonly perverts
the meaning of the Eervan note. Thirty years ago
Mr. Gladstone In an Impassioned electoral address
usked, "Where can any man put his. finger on the
map and say there Austria. did goodT" That was an
extreme utterance, ne Mr. Gladstone afterward ad
mitted, but we should suppose Austria, would be most
r.nxlous to rid Itself of that reputation It In any
degfoe It still attaches to It. Its unreasonableness Is
so evident that the universal Interpretation of Its
course Is that It has used Scrvla as a pretext for tho
accomplishment of a purpose not avowed. No war
oould be more unholy than one provoked by such
methods. But while the war which has made the
wholo world tremble with dread may not be averted
merely because It would be unjust and unholy, there
Is solid gfound for the expectation that' It will be pro
vented because the sober-minded statesmen of Europe,
and above all the kaiser, are not men of blood but
of peace.

Rtbo'llniis grew my wayward, human
heart,
That now our ways would Up fur, fur
apart.
Hut at the turning of the road,- dear
friend.
fYou closer drew, and closer, to the. end.
Thus with my hand clasped steadfastly in
thine.
We Journeyed on togcther-frlend of mine.
When rooks and pitfalls each beset my
way.
And shadows darkened, shutting out the
day;
When all earth's Joys and blessings faded
quite
Beyond my feeble, wavering human eight.
You lingered stilt, and love Its radiance
spread
About my stumbling feet Thus onward
led.
Enfolded In that loving arm of thine.
We Journoyed on together friend of mine.
DAVID.

Which Will You Buy ?
One curious thing
about matches is
this: You pay no
more for the best than
for the worst.
Five cents a box is
the standard price
for matches.
For five cents your
grocer will give you
a box of ordinary
matches or a box of
SafeHomeMatches.
Under certain con
ditions ordinary
matches are very
dangerous.
Under ail conditions,
Safe Home Matches
are the safest matches
in the world. They
are absolutely non
poisonous. They ignite at a temper
ature in excess of 300
Fahr. 150 more than
ordinary matches. They
do not spark. They do
not sputter. The sticks
are strong and sturdy
and do not break easily.
