Incidentally, do not forget to be humane to man's best four-footed friend, the horse, during these cold, slippery days. If all reports from the war seas are correct, old man McOlaty must be having lots of com pany la his bottom-of-the-sea-horoe. "Petrograd has no water," says a war bulle tin.

A lot of people are learning that Christmas presents may be pleasing and atlll have a prac tical use; also that the amount of Joy they bring is not gauged by their cost.

Bo long as Colonel Wattersoa continues un compromising against woman suffrage and pro lilbltlon, he cannot well be classed as anti-Ger ms n because of bta excoriations of the kaiser. The Kaiser's Surprise Party. While one ran only speculate as to the spe cific purpoae of the North sea roast surprise party, this muh may be assumed, that it goes to show the predetermination of the Germans to carry the war, If possible, to Mritlsh soil. Failure at Dover evidently set the kaiser's strategists to work all the more earnestly with this Hsnntbsl-llke attack on the three upper coasts cities, to the complete consternstlon of England, from the humblest citizen to the king, himself. A fierce nsvsl battle Is reported In progress as a result of the bombardment. Others may fol low and the vigilance of both sides will be keener than ever as a consequence of this at tack. While the kaiser has demonstrated the possibility of dropping shells into British coast towns, Britain has been aroused and set on the lookout from one end of her shore line to the other for similar attempts, so that repetition is unlikely for the present. The Annual Beminder for Coaster. The winter's first snow broke fine for the youngsters. Coasting has been great the last week. The snowfall close on the rain and then a lowering mercury seated both with a good freeze and made a surface almost Ideal for the coasters. And let us hope for a lot of just such fine weather this winter. It put Iron In the blood, the rose tint of health on the cheek. What Is more beautiful than the face-flushed' boy or girl come bounding Into the house after an hour or two of this exhilarating old winter sport? We want these robust youngsters, too, every one of them. And we want them whole bodied, with bones In place and muscles normal. Which leads to our annual warning, both to the chil dren and their parents, of the perils that must be encountered coasting down streets traversed by autos and other vehicles and Intersected by street cars. It would be a great thing to get through the winter without accidents. Possibly we may If everybody ia Just aa careful as It Is possible to be. Let us all try remembering how much better Is prevention than cure. Do Railroads Waste Money? witn a Nebraska man premier In ' the president's cabinet, and another Nebraska man listed in all the several All America's foot ball elevens, our cup of glory is surely full to the brim ' How to give all the different departments of the rlty government more money to spend with out increasing the tax levy, ia the same old prob lem that confronts the lawmakers whenever they tackle charter revision.

Conditions are at last becoming normal In Mexico.' Life at the capital is fast losing Its fire and glamor and lapsing Into the rut of mere routine. True, according to latest report, "be tween 100 and 150 Mexicans, many of them once prominent officials, have been secretly executed in Mexico City within the last few days." but aside from that all Is well and life secure. Or, to use the words of the dispatch Itself, "except for these executions, which are understood to be happening dally, conditiona In the city Itself are quiet and Provisional President Outlerrex. with the allied Villa and Zapata forces. Is maintain ing order." Hats off to Gutierrez; also to the man who could send that message with a straight face! All quiet along the Potomao tonight. Except now and then a stray picket I allot aa he walks on hla beat to and fro By a rifleman hid in the thicket. Not an officer hurt, only one of tha man. Moaning out all alone hla death rattle. Hats off, we say, to the only provisional prealdent who thus far has been able to main tain peace and order and security to life In Mexico since the turbulence of civil war broke forth nearly four years ago. What are a few men, mora or less, killed off every day? Sup pose. ISO are slain In a week or so? They do not. amount to much they are only of the picket guard; worse, they are but ex-offlcials, attaches of a former discredited regime. What else have they to expect at the hands of a succeeding pro visional president? Peace and order must be maintained at all hazards, even at the cost of a dosen lives a day. Municipal Nonpartiianship. Over- in Chicago the Tribune halls as "ex pedient and wise" the decision of the Peonle's Nonpartisan committee to put no candidate for mayor in the field, but, on the contrary, to en deavor to make nonpartisanshlp effective by directing the independent vote to the best can didate offered by the party primaries. Insofar aa Chicago still retains the system of party nom inations for municipal offices, it differs from Omaha, where our commission plan provides for nominations by petition only and for a ballot devoid of party labels. The proposition, how ever, holds good everywhere that the independ ent vote will make itself effective only by rally ing to the support of the best candldatea regard less of party affiliation. If all the different po litical parties republican, democrat, socialist and progressive would officially, or unoffi cially, present candidates, the nonpartisan ele ment could easily reject the unfit and disquali fied and make certain of the services of the candidates Judged by the majority to be the best men. It Chicago can get th kind of city government it wants that war. nerhans some other cities might do the same. Our Indian Population. Carefully compiled figures place the Indian population of the United States, as of date June 50 last, including freedmeu and intermarried whites, at S31.250. The exhibit of the distribu tion of this aboriginal remainder carries some surprises. One naturally looks for the larcest groups of Indians to be located In Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico, and that Is where they are found, but how many know that North Caro lina has more than twice as many Indians within Its boundaries as Nebraska, and that New York state has half again aa many as our own state? Next to Xew Mexico in point of numbers comes South Dakota with more than 10.000, and next to Houtn Dakota. California with over 15.000. Minnesota, Montana. Washington and Wisconsin are closely bunched with around lo.ooo tn U. 000, while Delaware is last in the list with Just five, and Vermont Just above it with only twenty-six. The great state of Illinois, where the Black Hawk war was fought, counts but 188 Indians la Us population, and Iowa, the Hawk eye state, has S68. Incidentally, It is worth noting that of the Indian classification of 331,. ZS0, scarcely half, or to be exact 171.804, are of full blood, the presumption being that all the rest have a strain of mixed blood. Manifestly, our Indian question, which was for so many years wue of our most perplexing problems, and which still requires attention, ia gradually solving itself more by the operatlou of natural forces thsn by any treatment we have applied. Wall Street Journal. Ml-Throet rtllae. There Ik god rrwind tnr ausf'ttns that failure of the commerce commlaaion to afford seneral relief ha been to alve the railroads sufficient time t-i realise that solution of the problem ia in part their work and to afford them an opportunity to make a start. The evil seems to have been of alow growth, In dwed by the scramble for tonnage. To secure com petitive traffic at any 'coat, railroads offered one In ducement after snother until th public la aettlni; "nirkel-plated" service snd paylne; "copper-riveted rates. A comparatively proaperou pud well-ejuippcd roa.l off era ahlpper third morning delivery from New York to Chicago and the aame revere service. Oil;- rallrnnda In thla competitive territory are compelled to offer the same aervice. The fliat la allghtly better off as tn tonnag becaua It geta a little trVfle from weaker lines, nut It coeta the atronff road perhaps t".onc,Ofio annually to maintain a fast service, and costa all other roada proportionately. It requires light tonnage train to make this achedul between New Tork and Chicago. It reqtilrea more train crews, mora locomotive, more wage, more fuel expensea amt heavier wear and tear on track "and equipment, though perhaps not mora than 10 pep cent of the f eight requlna such expeditious movement. But shippers have been educated to rapid aervice. Tf this trouble-making railroad would lengthen lis shedul to fourth morning delivery, as formerly. It could Itself aav fS.otnon annually and other trunk line rouM then readjuat their achedulee and aave proportionate amounts. Rspesjalye Freight Tean, A New Tork-Chlcago line solicits from New Tork to Springfield, Maaa.. although it haa not a mile of railroad In New England and runs In the opposite direction. Rut a rate la made to some point out in New Tork state by way of New Jersey. "Croas Corn ers" or around Robin Hood's barn, and the freight finally reaches 9pr1ngflHd, Mae., after traveling V miles and la undoubtedly carried at a toe, for the ame rat apptlaa ever thta route as applies over the New Haven which could carry the traffic to destina tion st a profit. Rallroade solicit freight from Pittsburgh to Denvnr. but first carry It to New Tork, transfer It bv boat to Norfolk and there start It west for iJenver. After traveling 1,200 miles It reaches a point not more than 109 milt from whence It atarted be fore finally heading for Denver. Another road eollclta freight from Cleveland to Toledo, although It doa not run anywhere near tha latter, but the rat between the two cltlea la th same whether freight is carried direct or all over Ohio by way of connecting llnea. The on road carries tt'SE miles, but Laks tihore could carry It only 113 mile. , Why ia bualneaa done that way? Chiefly to keep a competitor from making a profit. Another eastern trunk lln running by way of Buffalo pulls freight out of Pittsburgh for-Philadelphia and sands R over 6i2 miles on a rat that wouM barely allow Pennsylvania to make a profit if it car ried thla bualneaa In the most direct route over Its raila sis tntles. To Mch of a Gwoel Tklsg. Between Chicago and 8t Loula each road of the five operating between these two cltlea formerly ran on night paeaenger train. Then on of th roada put on a second train and hoped thereby to secure the cream of the trsfflu by giving patrons choic of two time of departure. This waa Immediately followed by all the other roada putting on extra trains. Tho result waa that none of the trains carried a corporal's guard of passengers and moat were Wing run at n loaa. After th futility of thla cut-throat competition waa realized the railroads tried to seoure s common agreement to take off a train each. Again there was on road that would not agree and today ten trains run out or Chicago for St. Louis each night, with n )t enough trafflo to pay for five. The same condition exlata between 8t. Louts and Kansas City, Chicago and Omaha and moat any other two competitive points tn the country. , A train every hour on the hour la a beautiful thlni for advertising purpoe, butrle 14 Justified when the' trafflo doe not assure fun revenue trains snd when a little co-operation betwen th competlting roadi could easily reduce train mileage to tha actual require ments of the business moving? The Wabash train between Bt. Lou la and Kansas City recently csrried seventeen through passengers, nor Is this sn except tlonal cas. Th writer has traveled between Buffalo and New Tork on on of tha "crack trains" whsn h wss the only passenger In th Pullmsa. But one road put on extra trains and th ethers all hav to do It. for It weuld never do to permit on road to ad vrtia a more frequently or faster service thsn th others can also offer. , Casaalatlve Kvtl. ' The evil Is a cumulative one as applied to both freight and passenger service. If a Patron receives expedited aervice one or gets . accustomed to a special privilege he naturally expects It again, fnless nil agree none can agree for on railroad cannot com mand traffic while shippers can point to another road that offera more apeclal frills. When th Interstate Commerce commlaaion ren dered a decision and made certain recommendatlona recently, it evidently had. this In mind for it said, "Among th most Important beneflta to bo derived will be that of causing th Individual roada to avoid trafflo on which they can only lee money and whlcn may perhaps be prof UaMo to other carriers. Th scramble for tonnaga, which haa lad to so many abuses, should b succeeded by an orderly pursuit of profit earning trafflo." Each road Is trying to cut th other's throat and all ar doing the same thing. If they all made tip their mind to stop it, each would gain mors tonnage on which a profit could be made than It oould poe albly loa In n on-revenue paring friKnl Thee ar merely a few Instance of thousands that exiat over th entlr country and If.

To the E.tltor of The Itce: Is It not somewhat surprising that after all the talk and doinga In regard to Mexico alnoe Preal dent Wilson haa been In office he should not even mention Mexico In hla late an nual message "or address" to congreas It would be surprising If W had a states man In the presidential chair; but with a mere schoolmaster well, one need not be surprised at any unusual or out-of-the-way thing. Last spring Wilson conceived th Idea that our flag had been lnaultei at Ta ni pt co (which it had not, snd If It had ample reparation waa made); went be fore congress and Informed It that he, himself, had all necessary power to en force satisfaction (which he had not), but that on account of the very great Im portance of the matter In laaue. he would like to have the congress ssy that he would be "Justified" In so doing, where upon an obsequious congress, made up of cringing democrats and cowardly re publicans (moral cowards), readily ao quleseed; surrendered to him th war ms king power (which they had no right to do), and. if my memory Is not at fault, voted him r&OOO.OOO for expenses. Being thus ermed and equipped our great and good president sent a fleet of warships and took Vera Crus, killing several hundred men tn th operation; stayei there about seven months, during which time his agents pocketed $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 of Mexican money, and then unceremoniously and ignomintously snesked out without ssytng a word and took the money with them. In view of the fact that President Wll son said nothing about his work m Mexico, I submit that congress should ask him for full Information. "If not In compatible with the public aervice," fully answering such questions as the follow ing: J;, A. lh. h"d 0f ret "Chrletisn nation." before deriding to Invade Mexico (and kill an Indefinite number of ita people), did you enter your closet and humbly ask Qod'a blessing on your pro posed work? 1 During the capture and occupation of Vera Crtis how many Mexlcana and now many Americana were killed? I. low mahy widows and orphans and broken-hearted mothers d,d their deaths maker " " t. What was the gross amount of duties on Imports collected by you during your occupation of Vera Crux . I. What waa the cost ef collecting this rr-Ycriu!, ana rrom whst source wss th expense met? 1 How much of ths amount collected went as graft to Mexlcsns and how much to Americans? 7. Whst wss ths net amount of revenue collected; where Is it now and what do you purpos doing with it; or hav you "don with It" already? . What was th tots! expense of ths aforesaid Invasion vof Mexico from the first movement of our, forces until their wlthdrawsl from Mexican terrtiory? 9. Whst disposition In yoirr opinion, if any, should be mad of what remains of that $60,000,000 appropriated? 10. Would you advise that It be divided up smong the Americsn people to be used in th nurliM ... r - - - v. - ia stamps, i or do you mlsh to retain It for use in the event of another insult tn r' ' 11. Did yeu get that salute to the flag that you went to Mexico-after; and. If so. what disposition hav you made of it?

WATERLOO, Neb.. re. 16.To the Editor of Th Bee: Having noted with soms Interest and more or less pleasure, th letter of my brother. Editor Jacob berger of tha Benson Time, In answer to my letter In Tha Be about th annual meeting of th Douglas County Agricul tural soolety. also th eoitorial and newa accounts of th meeting and th work of Benson In connection therewith. I can hardly refrain from making a final effort to keep history straight In thla connection. In th first place, let me ssy that I am more thsn ever convinced that the country la well rid of th county fair, that there are no sore spots so fsr us I am concerned, and I really believe the county breathes a long sigh of relief over th turn of a-ffslrs tho agricultural society hes tsken. But I wish to state, further, that at no time did I aay the country pre clncts had no representation on tha board of directors; my contention, snd that of others In the meeting, was that tho resolu tion to allow on director from each country precinct, to b placed In nomina tion by realdenta of the varloua precincts, was the fairest way and in the true In tercuts of the society, rvitardlees of local ities; besides giving lepreeenlatlon la proportion to "taxation." as It were. Mr. Jecobberger In . h.s Time admlta the Benson "slate" was elected, with two exceptions, presumably th two from Waterloo. Th method of f.rocodur before and at the meeting la outlined with rara frankness aad th us of th "coin" is defended and excused, we suppose, be cause they were only folk wing seemingly well authenticated precadrnt. It seems to m about tlru to abolish precedent and old convention political tactics In the conduct of affairs In which the peopl ar so vitally Interested, and In this connection I would ssy that the proposal to eliminate tho "financial" end of the fair by i-ejieallng the present law, aa It epplle t county fair appropriations, would b a very good way out of it, and no doubt meet the approval of th peopl a In closing let m say, that so tsr as I understand th sentiment In the country, th peopl will wish Benson all posslUla uocaea la conducting th fair for 191$, and will ne doubt be among th heartiest supporters and willingly lend all voasibl aid. and they ar a ui.lt. I' believe. In hoping th fair wttt never be put hack at Ita old work of popularising tne King's Highway. JAME8 H. RIGO. O I: -I I Nebraska Politics Le 1(. T.
