Our Task in Mexico.
PrMldfnt Wilson's note to Csrrsnta can bo
read only one way It presages more vigorous
action on part of this country if the Mexicans
ihpinwlven do not take steps speedily to end the
long prevailing iswlessness In thst country.
It Is the plain duty of the Untied States
to protect our own and the clUsens of other
countries from further outrage by irresponsible
bandits, or let some other country do it.
The Mexican people, not more than 1 per
rent of whom are under arms at prexent in alt
the several "armies'' that are devastating the
country, are sorely in need of responsible gov
ernment. Intervention would have been Justi
fied long ago by the manifest inability of the
opposing factions there to end the anarchy that
still exists In Mexico. ''Watchful waiting" has
been given a two-years' trial, only to see bad be
come worse. President Wilson must formulate
a more emphatic policy and avoid repetition of
last summer's bootless occupation of Vera Cruz.
Let us keep out of war if we can, but as a
last resort it will be in the interest of humanity
to use force to put down forces of destruction
that have gotten beyond the control of those
who invoked them. To bring law and order to
distracted Mexico, restoring peace and quiet and
setting Us people pa the way to prosperity onco
more, may be the task of the United States.
Mnsic in the Air.
The legislature at Lincoln has let the edict
go forth that it will create no more fee-grabbing
state boards, but, of course, it will make an
exception for the proposed State Board of
Music. According to the bill as Introduced,
this board is to be made up of the governor,
attorney general and the state superintendent,
but because their own qualifications are
likely to consist only of chin music, and may
lack harmony, they are permitted to serve by
proxy by sppolntlng three competent persons to
act for them, mlsbranded aa "secretaries." Tho
"musical secretaries" to the, governor, attorney
general and state superintendent, will, of course,
be musical prodigies, able to catch a budding
genlua before it blossoms out. The main thing
the "secretaries" are expected to catch, however,
Is tbe tune of the tinkling ten dollar gold pieces
which all future Nebraska music teachers will
have to drop into tbe contribution box (by kindly
concession the price for present teachers is re
duced to the bargain-counter rate of one dollar
If dropped Into the slot within three months),
while any one undertaking to give a lesson on
anything from Violin to bass drum and collect
money for it in violation of tbe law, will have
a $60 to $100 fine or a thirty to ninety-day Jail
sentence In front of him to help take the music
out of his system. But what of that, If by such
means Nebraska can be made a musical oasis in
the desert?

Censorship of International Mailt.
A timorous member of the British Parliament
has asked the government If a censorship of malts
Is not required, the purpose being to prevent
Germany from sending to the United States
pamphlets that do not give the English version
of the war and Its developments, Home Secre
tary Reginald McKenna replies that tbe Oerman
pamphlets complained of are harmless, and that
a censorship of the malls has not been consid
ered beeause of its enormous cost. " 1 " ;
All of which Is beside the point.',' The ques
tion,, unanswered by the home secretary, Is:
Has Great Britain any right to censor the Inter
national malls? Conceding the British govern
ment the, right to inspect all correspondence of
any kind originating within the United King
dom, by what show of right could it undertake
to inquire into the nature of correspondence
passing between the cltlsens of Germany and the
United States, two friendly natiotls? The cen
sorship Great Britain has established over cable
correspondence la sufficiently annoying; to un
dertake the censorious Inspection of the malls
would be going too far.
Germany Is not alone in the matter' of dls-'
ssmlnatlng biased Information concerning the
war by means of pamphlets and other use of the
mails. Great Britain has sent out an enormous
amount of "Inspired" literature. Generally this
output of the interested governments has been
either disregarded or discounted, for the Ameri
can people are not sufficiently gullible to be
deeply Impressed by the prejudiced statements
of either side. The Incident in the House of Com
mons serves, however, to show to what extent
the combatants' sense of proportion has been
distorted by the war. .
Maintain the Quarantine.
Nebraska Is fully justified in malntainine- a
rigid quarantin against Iowa or any other sec
tion. f th country where the foot and mouth
disease exists. It is not tbe Question of a. few
cars of cattle shipped to or from the local
market; the situation Involves the safety of tho
entire range country, from wbenoe comes the
euu or tne meat supply of tho country. No
greater calamity could happen than to have that
most dread of cattle scourges cross the Mis
souri river and infect the great herds of Ne
braska, Dakota and Wyoming. The losses in
cident to the temporary stoppage of traffic with
the region now quarantined against would be
inflnitesmal In comparison. The quarantine must
be effective, to properly protect the sections
row free from Infection, and to stamp out the
disease where infection exists.
Th state's attorney's inquiry Into the ad
vanced price of bread in New York City is bring
ing to light features of the business usually kept
In the dark, it is apparent from the testimony
that the bread supply of the city la being ab
sorbed by heavily capitalised companies, one
being capitalised at $$0,000,000. Another at $6.
000,000. Various excuses were offered for con
certed action In price boosting, but they simmer
down to the simple proposition that the big fel
lows need the money to nourish their watered
stock.
The Political Caldron
LIKE the round of a voice out of the political wilder
ness Matthew J. fJreevy, heaer of wood and
drawer of water In party ranka for lo these many
years, announce thst he will vote for seven repub
lican at the city commission primary on .April 4.
"Thla talk of a nonpartisan city commission achem
la an Iridescent dream. It sounds all rtal't in theory,
but how does It work out In practice?" asks Mr.
Oreevy.
"Up to nine years aso, when Dahlman broke Into
the city hall, the city sovernment waa In the hand of
the republican. Blnce that time, republican have
(idled and abutted In the election of democrats to city
lob and havo eaten only the crumbs which fell from
the democratic table. It Is not risht. wnen republican
are In the majority, end the majority should be in
control. ,
'Three year Brain the 'Rquare Seven' went out
on a liberal platform. Four of tbe seven elected are
democrat. The democrata have control of the' city
hall and they play polltlca all the way throush. It la
time for the republican to rise up In their might and
proclaim themselves."
PometMn; f a stir was eaueed In the city hall
when John If. Cuslck, ohlef Inspector of the depart
ment of public Improvements, ' announced that he
had resigned and would file for city mmlaloner,
ipectlng to land the position held by hla boss.
James W. McDonald, one of the assistants In an
other department, also la In the race and other minor
official are said to fee combating a desire to ret lnt
the same. No signs, however, of the reelsnlng fever
becoming epidemic.
What kind of a strategic move Is "Charley" Wlth
nell making T Doe he' Intend to upset political prece
dent? Doea ha Intend to have a flying squadron of
women In the field during this campaign? The other
day he entertained the city hall women employee at
lilncheon at the Fontenelle hotel. All during the after
noon following the women of the municipal building
were sounding their host' praise. An Interesting fea
ture is that If the other city commissioners follow the
example tho city hall women will hare several fre
feasts lit store.
"I see that in throwing hla hat in the ring J. W.
Metcalfe accompanies it with a platform which refer
to his position e-s secretary of the Retailers' asso
ciation, and flaunts the alogaa of strict law enforce
ment lie declares it la not the province of any offi
cer to determine wliether a law should be enforced
or not," said a city hall rounder. "1 would like to
aee him try to keep the merchant from stringing
signs In violation of ordinances or to make them
remove all forbidden sidewalk obstructions. I would
like to see him enforce te the hilt the no-treat law
or the smoke nuisance ordinance or the rule of the
road, or a dosen other regulations constantly ig
nored. An officer has to uee Judgment In enforcing;
the laws that are Important, and go easy with laws
that are trivial, and don't you forget it."
Somebody in the rear of tha hall asks whether the
Jack sonlan club still moves and has its being and
whether thla organisation will take a hand In the
little political gams which Is now being arranged.
This club does not seem to be causing any up
heaval st the present time. The seismograph at
Crelghton university has not recorded any disturb
ance for many months.
Twice Told Tales
A political melon of huge proportions is
ripening In New York state. The land of the
abandoned Erie canal, valued at $400,000,000,
la eagerly sought In slices by municipalities and
corporations, each calmly Indifferent to the
state s rights to some return on an investment of
$101,000,000 in the new ditch.' As legislative
action must be hsd to cut tbe melon the prospect
for a prosperous session at Albany are un
commonly bright.

that Florence wants to annex a clear
case of going from home to get the news.
I see tho Commercial club met Wednes
day night more news, as I happen to
be a member ot that august body, but I
failed to hear of the meeting. It I the
rule to notify members of the meetings
by card. A a rule we meet twice a
year, whether we have any business or
rmt, and It has been only five month
since we met so I concluded this was
a special. They send what they call an
appeal to the legislature to annex us at
once, because thore seventeen men want
It and, by the way, some of tho seven
teen live in Omaha, and one man told
me he algned to get rid of them.
Messrs. Legislators, I am not going
to bother and take your time in sending
petitions to you unless you are In doubt
as to the sentiment of the cltlsens of
Florence in reward to annexation without
first letting ua vote on the question. Tf
you want to hear from us In that way,
write me. and I will send you a petition
signed by ten times seventeen names and
thoy will all be bonaflde cltlsens and
taxpayers. You have a bill In regard to
the water company furnishing light. You
propose to let tlie people decide by rote
whether the proposition will be aooepted
or rejected. The city of Omaha is ne
gotiating for the purchase of the Audi
torium: they propose to settle that ques
tion also by a vote of the people. Now,
gentlemen, all we ask Is that you leave
the matter to a vote, and If one-half the

of The Bee: While the severe snow
storms which have been prevalent the
last few weeks have been general, and
have quite seriously Inconvenienced peo
ple and delayed trafflo, there la another
phase which almost recompenses tor the
troubles they have caused.
There has been a landscape which the

Efficiency vs Speeding t o.
OMAHA, March T.-To the Editor of
The Bee: I note that in some quarters
the terms efficiency and speeding up are
confused. I find In my experience that
they are not synonymous.
' In plain language an efficient person ia
one who can gain the best results In hi
line of endeavor with the least possible
Imperfection and the least waste ot
energy and material.
The speeding up system Is mercenary.
It cares not for the publ'o nor the quality
of the output. "Oct all the traffic will
bear" the greatest possible financial gain
by the least possible outlay of expense.
A speeding up system s the opposite of
efflcloncy, for who of us can bring out
our best work If we are working under a
strain or In the atmosphere of excitement
present In every place where speeding up
is required.
Speeding changes the efficient person
Into an Inefficient one as readily as
a lack of efficiency will change superior
goods to goods of an inferior quality.
Every man wanta hla money's worth.
He gets It from efficient sources, but
not from sources where speed Is tbe pre
vailing requirement. I. J. C.
Around the Cities
Street railway employee In this country

New Tork City calculates that It pays

Los Angeles has appointed a woman to
act aa manager of men arrested and set

ilies. In Mexico the cars. dor. or carrier,
transports bundles so weighty that ordi
nary men could not even lift them. It la
not unusual for Kim to carry a load of
s) pounds on hla .head and shoulders.
Bult Lake City's commission has laid
down tbe rule that the unemployed must
accept the work schedule of the city or go
without city grub. The city offers 11.M a
day for common labor; the unemployed
Insist on S2. S a day. A spokesman for
ibe latter in rejecting the city's terms,
said they' would go hungry rather than
sacrifice the principle of a standard wag.
