What of the StaU Fair.
Courageously proclaiming that not even a
solid week of copious rain rould convert the Ne
braska state fair Into a disaster, the Lincoln
Star nevertheless sees the risk Involved In pres
ent fair methods, and propones that the fair
be extended, now that It has assumed the dig
nity and proportions of a great exposition, over
a period that would guarantee In a measure
that unfavorable weather would not destroy Its
effectiveness.
If the 8Ur voices tbe sentiment of .the fair
management, and of the Lincoln people directly
concerned, they have at least become suscept
ible to advice which The Bee gave long ago
and has frequently repeated, namely, that the
State Board of Agriculture should collect and
maintain a permanent exhibit of Nebraska's
resources,, and make the fair merely a harvest
festival as Its annual culmination. Instead of
spending large sums of money for premiums
yesr by year for big pumpkins and tancy tidies,
this prize competition should be made subordi
nate to a comprehensive state exhibit educa
tional in character, a large part of which would
have to be done only once. Such an exposition
of our agricultural resources would include dis
play of all the different kinds' of soils In all:
the dlfferenttcountles'"in ;the state, the different
kinds of timber jhat have been made to take
root and grow) models of typical farm -houses,
barns, ranches, silos and farm implements. It
would show' the processes used in horticulture,
agriculture, raising pure-bred farm animals,
etc., on a plan like that of the state university
exhibit, which would be instructive and worth
studying. It would also exhibit the different
stages through which the raw materials grown
In this state pans Into the finished products
of our factories
The chief obstacle to converting the state
fair into a permanent' exposition is Its execra
ble location. The Bee has often exclaimed upon
the pity of It that the beautiful and costly build
ings there can be used but one week in the year
when they could have been placed where they
would be easily accessible all the time. But
even accepting the situation, it will be well to
recognize the desirability of developing the
permanent side of the fair, and gradually re
ducing the temporary, trivial and grab-bag
features.
Vera Cms to be Evacuated.
The president's order to the troops to return
home will end the American occupation of Vera
Cruz. There is a sort of gentle irony, however,
'In tbe announcement from the White house that
"this action la taken in view of the entire re
moval of the circumstances which were thought
to Justify the occupation," for it leaves us to
read into the vague words whatever "circum
stances" we please to read Into them.
Ostensibly Vera Crus was seized by bur blue
Jackets because to the demand for a salute to
our flag after the Tamplco Incident Huerta un
dertook to haggle as to whether the return sa
lute should be gun for gun or all at one time.
If failure to - salute constituted tbe "circum
stances" referred to, of course they could sot
have been removed, because the salute has not
yet been delivered."-But, every one knows that
voted upr down(at,our coming. Nebraska J th, demand for a. aajute was a mere, pretext,
JU. I .l'.. ...JLl.' I that the precipitancy of tfhe seizure of Vera rS-ui
was due to a desire to Intercept a shipload of
war munitions consigned to' Huerta' about to
reach their destination, t Still back of that, and
more basic, was Huerta's brazen defiance to the
president's original refusal to recognize his
government and his Ignoring of the summons
to vacate the national palace. The removal of
Huerta and the installation of Carranza conati-
tutea in reality the removal of the "circum
stances" which were thought to Justify the occu
pation of Vera Crus, and the ultimate purpose
of re-establishing a peaceful and' orderly govern-
ment in Mexico may now be better promoted by
our withdrawal.
Altogether the president-It to be congratu
lated on the auecees of his "watchful waiting"
policy, for which he may thank his lucky stars
rather than well-weighed wisdom or skillful
strategy.' Except for the little .brush at Vera
Crus thla country has been kept out of the war
In Mexico, which seemed, for the moment un
escapable, and that consummation-la worth the
money and sacrifice it cost.

"Democrats Getting- Wite.
How Interesting to( observe the democratic
statesmen at Washington falling back upon re
publican precedents whenever confronted with
a critical emergency. The outbreak of the
European war demanded lmmedlate measures
to safeguard the money market, and 'instead of
experimenting with the new reserve bank is
sues, tbe republican Aldricb.-Yreelaod Jaw 'was
quickly re-enacted with more liberal provisions
for an output of emergency currency And now
in forming a scheme Of war taxes to supplement
depleted Import revenues, the ' democrats rec
ognize, the merits of the measures taken by the
republicans to raise more money ' during the
Spanish-American war, and propose in large
part to relevy the taxes that proved so success
ful then. i y ...''",
Far be It from us to. criticise the democrats
for admitting their .inability to Improve ma
terially upon what the republicans have done
in like circumstances except by way. of adapta
tion to changed conditions. Before they finish
we would not be In the least surprised to find
our democratic friends ready to ; support a pro
tective tariff to keep a-golng tbe American In
dustries now being set In motion, which, after
the war, will be exposed to destruction by Euro
pean cheap labor competition unless equalised
by discriminating tariff duties. .

(SOUTH OMAHA, Bept. 11-To tho Edl- I
tor of The Bee: Asa policyholder In tho
Nebraska Life Insurance company, I
want to give a brief history of the great
wrofig done by 'our stats official a wha
constitute tho State Insurance commis
sion. There were about 4.0TO members.
composed of the poorer classes, who had
no money to bank with tho Illinois Mutual
league, that bought out the Nebraaka
Mutual. My monthly assessment for tho
last half of thirteen years was fllO. and
the first half, far tho moat prosperous
half. It. My peltry tho flrat year waa
good at death for , and Increaaed $1W
a year up to and at the time of tho
"aell-out" my policy waa worth O.W0.
The Illinois Mutual league assessment
waa 1A.3S per month.
Now. our atate' officials knew that no
man of moderate means could stand any
such payment, and being beyond the age
to get any more fraternal Insurance, I
was obliged to loee all I had paid In and
drop out. What la true In my case Is
true In tho majority of the 4,000 mem
bars. For this reason hope all the mem
bers of tho Life Insurance commission
will bo defeated for ro-olocUon In Novem
ber. They claim, so I have heard, that a
majority of the members were In favor
ef tho sell-out, but how "by proy." Wo
ill know what this means, and they also
Claim that tho Nebraska, Mutual waa
financially In bad shape, and they had
repeatedly admonished tho officers of the
Nebraska Mutual company to call rhore
assessments to make up the deficit, but
without result.
Now, I have $2,000 or Modern Woodmoat
of America, Just aa good a concern aa
thla Illinois company for the time being,
for tl per assessment, and I believe,
after the fight wo went through, will
always- be good. J.' o. blessino.

Ne Tlaae to Fray fer Peace.
OMAHA, Kept. ll-To the Editor of The
Bee: In aptte of the president's appoint
ment of a day of prayer and Pope Bene
dict's offer of mediation, I cannot regard
thla aa a proper time to pray for peace
or offer mediation. Kaiser Wllhelm aays
he' will tight till the last man and tho
laat horse are gone, and Great Britain
aays thla must be a fight to a flnlah. .
As long aa nothing; decisive has oc
curred, no terms could be agreed upon
that would not leave the condition of
Europe practically aa It waa when the
war began. The cause that began tho
war must continue tt till pne of the con
tending' parties is thoroughly disabled.
The papers are atlB talking about this
cauaeleaa war, but that la a pure delualon.
War must have a cause, aa much aa any
ether catastrophe, and thla la no e
caption. Tho aSaaastnatlon of Grand
Duke Fedinand waa the occasion, but not
the eauae any more than waa the sinking
of- the Maine tho cause of tbe Bpanlah-
American war. Germany's cause for en
gaging In thla-war, whatever tbe kaiser
may say to the contrary, Is tho hegemony
of Europe and the preservation of mili
tarism. Tho object of the allies is to
defeat that purpose. These can be no
permanent peace, aye there ought to be
none, until the object ot the allies ia
achieved. There can be no permanent
peace established until thla Is secured
a condition to which Germany wilt not
consent until forced to do ao.
I It aeema to me, therefore, premature
to undertake mediation at thla time It
would hav been absurd tor- Mooes, te
lasuo an order to pray for peace while
Aaron and Har were holding up bis
hand to achieve victory. The time cane
when Europe could no longer endure
Napoleoniara, and the time has arrived.
when It can no longer endure mllttarlem.
While neutral governrnente 'maintain'
an attitude ot f rlendllnesa toward both
contending partlca, the sympathy of the
world la with tho all tee and against tho
kaiser. All net lone dread him because
they have been obliged to sleep ori their
arms to protect themselves from him,
He la the only one who exacted, territory
from Chine In the Boxer - rebellion. ' He
would have fought Dewey In Manilla bey
but for Greet Britain. The Turk would
have been driven out ot Europe In the
Balkan war, but for hla Interference.
Let ua have Peace, but not until tho dis
turber Is forever put out of action. Till
then, let ua rather pray, "God apeed the
right," D. C. JOHN.
Tho War on the Sea
Far Bealajnla la the STew Tork tadepeadee.
On July , twenty-two ,mllea of British warships
In double column peaeed In review beforo tho king
OV1 Tassels In all, Including sixty battleshlpa and twelve
battle-cruisers "fit to Ue In th line," besides fifty-four
misers of lighter build and armament- Ten deya later
and foer days before England's declaration of ear
this mighty armada, disappeared. Its destination has
been kept a profound secret It la supposed to be In
the North see, and It la assumed that while one pert
Is guarding the entrances the other pert Is bottling
tho Oerman fleet. By persons who expected and de
sired an Instant fight of colossal proportions, this slate
of affairs Is unsatisfactory, and the British fleet Is
meeting much animadversion for not forthwith drag
ging the reluctant Teutone from their hMIng places.
But up to tho preaent writing, neither criticism nor
the persistant hearing of heavy guns In tho vicinity of
the "Dogger Bank" ha precipitated a general action.
... i i
All that Is known to .have happened Is that a
largely preponderating force of British battle-cruisers
and destroyers went after some eight German cruisers
lurking behind Heligoland, and In eight hours' conflict
aank three of thorn and two destroyers. The remark
of Commodore Preble when under somewhat similar
circumstances Decatur reported his capture of some
Tripoli tan ahlpa seems apposite here:
"And why did you not get more of them, sir?"
On these slender premises, -some deduction may be
ventured. Tho British homo fleet Is fulfilling Its whole
function because (1) It haa made Oerman over-sea
commerce tor tho time being- Impossible; (!) It has
prevented any German naval attack upon the northern
and western coaata of France; (3) It haa Interposed a
steel wall between the German ahlpa and the English
channel and so rendered It safe to transport troops
across tho strait despite the existence of a hostile fleet
n the Baltic rather than In the North Fee. For the
Brltlah battle equadrona to follow It there through the
narrow aounda between Denmark and Bweden and
through waters almost certainly mined would Involve
great peril and besides offer to Germany the advan
tage of fighting In the Immediate neighborhood of Ita
own harbors and dockyards.
With the enemy's fleet thus Interned the resump
tion of traffle by the regular English steamer lines in
dicates that the ocean la sufficiently free from Ger
man .cruisers. But how long this condition can be
maintained is another matter. Tho Mains, sunk In
the recent action, was a twenty-eight-knot ship. Ger
many has several others like tt. One or two of them
escaping, say In a fog, could speedily paralyse trans
atlantic traffic and Incidentally wipe out arrtatlm the
lUthtly armed auxiliary craft which are now petroling
between Halifax and Bermuda and hungrily' hoping
for prizes as fat as tho Vateriand. now tied up In
New Tork.- Evidently It was to discourage these light
heeled German gentry, to whom such quarry as the
Olympto and Adriatic or the Lusltanla waa becoming
altogether too attractive, that Admiral Beatty under
took his recent raid.
Bottling an enemy'a fleet, however. Is an operation
by no means always In favor of the bottler. The
North Sea is amiable enough in July and August, but
when tho winter winds begin to Jlow and the heavy
fogs come down it is anything but a pleasant crutalng
ground. The Germans anug in Kiel and behind Hell-
jroland or In their well fortified Baltic harbors, are. In
far more comfortable circumstances than the British
ships which are forced to keep, the open sea and
wear themselves out against wind and 'weather and
under constant nerve-racking strain.. It Is a new
thing to see so great a fleet essay so great a task.
Whether- there be force or hot In the German con
tention that tt cannot bo accomplished, one can now
appreciate the apparent Indifference with which the
second navy in tho world submits,, for. the time' being,
te be Imprisoned by the first. Peraona .who are ariru-
ing that the German fleet la quiescent because It waa
bnl It "only for coeet protection" do protest too much;,
the eld firm of Neptune and Aeolus, which, will soon
be working In Ita behalf, can furnish a much raore
conclusive reason. , I
To alt Intents and purposes, the French navy -haa
also vanished. It haa, thirteen battleships, six 'ar
mored cruisers, seventy submartnea and eighty-three
destroyers somewhere in the Mediterranean, presum
ably at Toulon. And they have been there since' be
fore the war began. Meanwhile the Austrian fleet haa
been parading around the Adriatic with Its four bat
tleships. ' And these four battleships continue to. re
main afloat! . Exactly, In these circumstances, . what
the French navy Is for Is a mystery.
