Is Bryan a Victim of Conspiracy f
The spectacular exit of Secretary Bryan from
the cabinet naturally starts gossip and specula
tion. In his behslf worshipers at the Bryan
thrlne are already picturing; him as the victim
of a gigantic conspiracy, which, falling to keep
Lira out of the president's official family, began
efforts at once to discredit him, and kept at it
incessantly tin til they have now to use a street
expression "got his goat."
But we are constrained to doubt that Mr.
Bryan thinks himself a victim of conspiracy or
feels that he was forced to resign except as a
consequence of his own deliberately taken posi
tion in conflict with the policy determined on
by the president. His friends cannot make the
conspiracy charge stick without including Mr.
Wilson on the side of the conspirators, either
as one of them or as being used by them to
accomplish their ends, which they will
hardly do.
When Mr. Bryan went into the cabinet he
knew he would not He on a bed of roses; that
he would be the target for the political bomb
throwers; that he would get plenty of blame
and mighty little credit. And he has really
done nothing on his own account distinguishable
from the team work of the whole administration
tl'at would call for a conspiracy aimed particu
larly against him. The truth Is, as The Bee lias
already said, Mr. Bryan has disappointed both
friends and foes in remaining In the cabinet and
submitting to vubordlnatlon so long as he has.
Perhaps he himself hoped to complete the wbole
four years with the president, but no one else
had such expectation. It Just Is not in Mr.
Bryan, any more than in Mr. Wilson, to have
someone else tell him what he must or must not
ay and do.
Another Billion-Dollar Crop.
According to the crop reporting bureau ot
the Department of Agriculture, King Wheat Is
to Join with King Corn and King Cotton on the
throne of eminence, supported by the ten-figure
expression of value, and will hereafter be reck
oned in the billion-dollar ranks. This is a con
crete answer to those prophets of alarm, who
6nly a few months ago were nervously warning
us that we did not produce enough. Farmers
of the wheat belt have responded with splendid
enthusiasm to the stimulus afforded by the ab
normal conditions that prevail, and have made
ample provision for feeding the world Its white
bread. The crop as at present estimated will
provide bountifully for all domestic wants and
leave nearly 400,000,000 bushels for export.
Nebraska's share in this will be considerable,
this state having risen to the position of second
wheat producer in the union. Other crops in
Nebraska are coming along on the same scale,
with the most encouraging prospects of fulfill
ing the promise of the spring for a bountiful
yield. It Is surely the farmer's year, and the
prosperity that depends on the harvest is al
ready certain as anything In the future can be.
Bit of Breeze in Great Britain.
While the Irish were willing to declare a
BiOratorlum on local politics, pending settle
ment of the more momentous questions engross
ing the attention of British statesmen, it was
not to be expected that they would tit silent
while an outspoken opponent was lifted to
power in Ireland through the agency of what
was to be a patriotic reformation ot the cabinet.
Therefore, the breexe tbat blew up in the House
ct Commons over the proposed appointment of
Mr. Campbell to the position of chancellor ot
the Dublin university need shock no one.
Home rule ,1s dearer today than ever to the
Irish heart, for the very good reason that it is

threatened .rebellion, and whose activity In
armed opposition waa only suspended by toe
declaration ot war that involved Great Britain
In the European war. Neither of the Irish tac
tions has tor moment looked upon the home
rule question as other than unfinished business,
to be taken up Immediately the war will permit.
This being so, It looks from this distance as it
the unionists had made a tactical blunder in
trying to "put one over" on the nationalists.

When the "Julia" Comet to Town.
Dally bulletins are now being received her
alding the dignified but determined approach of
the good ship "Julia," which is persistently
breasting the swirling current of the Missouri
on its ey to Omaha. While the hurrying
public Is still giving its heed to bulletins from
the battlefield, resignations from the cabinet
and announcements from Mexico, those who are
concerned In river navigation are watching the
progress ot the "Julia" with hopeful apprehen
sion. As "tall oaks from little acorns grow,"
so it is trustfully hoped- a great fleet of flat
bottomed steamboats may evolve from the wake
of this gallant little vessel and the river again
become alive with the argosies of commerce.
When the "Julia" does arrive Omaha will have
ita start on its river fleet, and in after years,
when the sandbars are washed by the swell ot
passing boats and the echoes in the gullies are
Disturbed by the leadsman's calls or the pilot's

Problem of the Jitney
Boatoa Transcript
NO ONE can read the monthly reports of street rail
way rompaniee operating In cities where Jitney
competition preta la without perceiving an amas
Ing dcrreaae in earnings, compared with the corre
sponding portion of the preceding year. Many a
person assumes that the question la restricted to the
street railways and Jltneya, and touches tho rest of
the community only as It ftirnlshea aa additional
transportation facility. This attitude Indlcatea an
utter fnllure to comprehend the part which atreet
rallwaya have played In the development of our cities.
It haa been the duty of a public service transportation
company, at the requeat of the public, to extend tta
lines from time to time Into outlying districts, when
the dearth ot population promisee nothing but a loss.
In many rnms for a long period. The law, however,
has generally recognised that If the service aa
whole vlel'Jn a fair leturn on tho investment It is not
unreasonable to require eitenatone unprofitable In
themselves, provided excessive rates In other auc
tions of the community are not established and main
tained to produce the fair return. This process has
greatly accelerated the enhancement of property
values, aa all real estate intereata and retailers will
attest. If the street rallwaya, because of unregulated
Jitney competition, should now feel obliged to remove
some of these unprofitable lines, a condition end not
a theory would confront rot only the public who ride,
hut all pereorts Interested In the prosperity of the com
munity. The receipts of the great majority of city railways
are secured under the flat-rate ajmtem, establishing
a uniform fare in the city at large, without neces
sarily being restricted by the city limits. Tho sone
system, or taking of an additional fare whenever u
certain gecgraphlcal limit la paseed, has aeldom met
with popular favor In thla country. Under the flat
rate method the margin of profit for the company Is
at Ita maximum In the crowded sections, and should
outweigh the lossea suffered by the company In the
thinly population districts. It can be said, therefore,
that the heart of the city encompaesea the vitals of
the atreet railway the particular spot chosen by the
Jitneys for attack.
As the number of available passengers Is practically
fixed, whatever business la acquired by the Jitneys
means a corresponding lose to the railways. A con
stant drain of aap from the trunk of a tree will cause
the brances to die. In like manner the remote lines
of the etreU railway will be the first to go. It
cannot aa a whole be forced to operate at a loss, snd
will therefore try to retrench In the easiest way.
"Will the Jitney assume the burden thus laid down?
All the evidence bearing on this point suggests an
emphatle negative. In the first place, unlike a suc
cessful street railway. It cannot be forced to do so,
and, secondly, the losses from operation In the outly
ing districts under the ordinary street railway fare
would make it pronlbltlve. The very material reduc
tion In property valuea by the removal of the street
railway lines, and the failure of the Jitney to act as
a valid auhst tuto, would not only be felt In a particu
lar district, but through the whole city, whose success
la Intimately connected with the success of the trans
portation system.
What la the remedy? Obviously a community
cannot afford to suffer great depreciation In property
valuea by allowing Ita transportation system to be
crippled. If the J'tney were In a position to cover
tho whole field the case might be different. The
halcyon days of the year are now at hand for this
form of conveyance, and It la high time for all cities
where the competition prevails to realise the Issues
at stake and be prepared to meet the situation with
appropriate legislation, not to injure the Jitney, but
to protect the community against the unfortunate re
sults of unregulated competition. Under the regime
of competing atreet rallwaya the past haa shown the
public to be the ultimate sufferer. It should therefore
be unnecessary for each city, like a child that falls
to profit by the Instruction of Its elders, to undergo
the same unhappy experience.
Twice Told Tales
Told tho Tratts.
A Boston physician tells of a Dr. Reed who,' In hie
time, waa one of the prominent medicos of the Hub,
His large practice Included many patients outside of
the city limits, and these he visited In his buggy.
One day Mr. Reed bought a aew horse, with which
lie was much pleased until he discovered that the
animal had an Insurmountable objection to bridges of
all klnda, and could not bo made to cross one.
Inasmuch aa at that period It was necessary te
cross certain bridges In order to reach any one of the
surrounding towns, the doctor decided to sell his horse.
He did not think It iiecesrary to mention the animal's
peculiarity, but waa much too honest to misrepresent
him. and, after thought, produoed the following ad
vertisement, wh'i'h he Insetted In a local paper:
"For Sale A bay horse, warranted sound and kind.

John. "Well," said the clergyman, "I think we can
remedy that. I have a pair at home which will Just
about fit you, and I will have them sent to you today."
"Thank'ee!" aa'd John. The trousers were duly sent
and the following three Sundays John waa seen at
church. Then, after being absent for some time, the
clergyman again met him.
"Well, John." he said, "you have no excuse for
not coming to church lately. How Is it I have not
seen you there?" "Look here, .parson!" said John.
I tike a man to speak plain. I know what yot mean;

titled "There Is No Death" In Tuesday's
Bee (published only In part) Is the crea
tion of Mr. J. U MoCreery. a native of
owa and at one time editor of the
Delaware County Journal of that state.
The poem was written In IMS and was
first published la Arthur's Home Maga
tine In July ot that year. The author
ship of the poem was for many years er
roneously attributed to Lord Lytton, the
English poet. A thorough Investigation
carried on by Llppineotts a few years
ago fully established the authorship. The
poem haa been printed In every state of
tho union, In England, Scotland. Ireland,
Wales, Canada and oven In Australia.
It has gone Into dosens of kinds of schoot
hooks and Incorporated In scores of mis
cellaneous collections of poetry. It has
been quoted In full or In part many times
on the floor of congress.

Menace ef the Balldoar.
LINCOLN. June To the Editor of
The Bee: The painful death this week
of the small daughter of a Havelock cltl
sen from the ferocious attack ot a bull
dog again raises the question why civil
ized communities, so-called, permit these
deadly, treacherous animals to live.
The mosquito and the fly, the tipsy
motorist and the pistol toter are under
the ban of society's displeasure, and we
enact laws to protect children and adutts
from the menace of their existence but
the menace of the build Increases year
by year.
Not long ago In Omaha a bulldog seised
a 1-year-old girl on the walk In front of
her home and shook her as a terrier
shakes a rat, tearing her scalp and dis
figuring her face. After lying at the
point of death, in agony, for many days,
she survives to faoe life upon a lower
plane of happiness and possible achieve
ment. The bulldog that wrought this
tragedy In the life of this Omaha baby
girl and brought unmeasured sorrow to
her parents was "a great family pet."
He' was "perfectly harmless," and he
wouldn't hurt anybody." These are the
silly stock phrases which the owners of
these peats always apply to their peta.
and which, even after the tragedy at
Havelock, they will continue to apply to
them.
The city tloense tax on dogs doesn't
reach the spot, although the dog catoher
does noble work. What we really need
for bulldogs is an official dog poisoner.
The cave man In time gave up his sling
and his hatchet, and In time he will give
up his bulldog. Let us hope that the
suffering and death of the little girl at
Havelock will hasten the day.
