Confounding- Confusion.
When the present world war waa commenced
It seemed as if it might be accounted for on
apparently simple grounds. The situation ot
the German people waa ascribed as the main
cause, but the underlying reasons had such ram
ifications as set students of world politics scur
rying Into the bywsys of history to provide Justi
fication or explanation for tbe action of the
nations engaged. Aa the strife hag progressed
end one after another of the nations has been
caught up In the awtrl of events, the occasions
for belligerency have broadened, till now almost,
if not quite, the entire political and economic
life of the world must be analysed and sifted
to bring forth the roots of all the antagonisms
that are involved.
If the election in Oreece should be followed
by the appearance of the Hellenes on tbe scene
under arms, and the Rumanians follow, as has
been Intimated they may, the entire scope of
history from the Himalayaa to tbe Atlantic will
have been brought under review. It is a waste
of time to consider the modern situation of these
countries without following back along the
direct path of their history, and as events over
lap, the confusion Into which the interests of
the several peoples naturally proceeds Is worse
confounded by their present-day aspirations.
Particularly does this apply to the Balkan coun
tries, where, In modern times at least, has per
petually existed a paradox of politics that is all
but beyond comprehension.
With Oreece, Rumania and Serbia ranged
on the aid of the Allies, Bulgaria's possibility
of service to the Teutons would seem to be
slight, and the end to Ferdinand's dream ot
empire fixed for the present. All of this msant
that the main task of the council at which the
terms of peace are finally fixed will be light as
compared with tbe aide Issues that are to be
adjusted.
Evolution of the Drummer,
Nothing Is more expressively illustrative of
the growth and development of business meth
ods in America thsn the evolution of the drum
rcer of yesterday into the traveling salesman of
today. It has not been by sharp divergence that
tbe change has been brought about, but by such
natural, easy steps that the gradation at times
Is almost imperceptible, but the difference Is so
marked that the two are alike only la the fact
that they carry ssmples and sell goods.
Less than a generation ago M. B. Curtla won
much fame and some money by his presentation
of "Sara'l of Poscn," then accepted as an almost
photographic reproduction of the drummer of
his day. One can find that type only In the
museums now, where" he has a place alongside
the bagmen Dickens immortalized. In those daya
tbe drummer told atorles that would have made
Boccaclo blush; be was a convivial roysterer
and his expense accounts frequently covered
mysteries as deep as the secret ot the Sphynx.
He mad his towns and took his orders under
conditions of life that sometimes were atrocious
enough to warrant his wildest excesses in bibu
lous or other indulgence. What he didn't know
of unclean beds, of unwholesome food, of clmex
lectularts, of mus domesticae, of unreliable time
tableg.l and similar annoyances no modern ex
plorer will ever discover.
- But with the progress of civilization the
tiavellng salesman has evolved in the natural
order of events. He is still a good fellow, but
he is first of all a business man, keen, wide
awake, an eager and trained soldier In the battle
of commerce, the equal In every respect of the
customer be solicits. His self-respect haa in
creased accordingly, and with it has noma a cor
responding advance in the regard ot the world.
Ills share in the business of the world is large
and is worthily borne. Just because he haa been
able not only to keep step with progress, but
actually to show tbe way to better business
utethods.
The Flag and American History.
. President Wilson's brief Flag day addres
was full of substance, with an appeal to the In
telligent, directed, reasoning minds of the peo
ple, rather than to that quality ot patriotism
which is easily stirred by the mer sound of
eloquence, and as readily subsides when the
stimulus is past. One of bU utterances la
especially Impressive, explaining the symbolism
of the flag. He said:
For tna tha flag doea not cxpraaa a mere body of
sentiment, it la tha embodiment, not of a aantlmont,'
but ef a hletory, and no man can rightly aarva under
that flag who has not caught soma of the meaning ot
that history.
This thought should be taken home by every
citisea, and lta full meangtng should be mad
clear to the boya and girls in our public schools.
It is idle' to talk of tea'h'Bg cltlsenshlp unless
the lesson carries with it ia substance aa well
aa la form sufficient vf knovledge to establish
something of understanding of the sequence ot
events and tha logic of tueir application as shap
ing the destiny of thla nation. What la the
oeneflt of teaching military exerclsea la any
form aa aa adjunct to cltlsenshlp, or for any
purpose, unlesa the pupil knowa enough of the
history of his country to understand its princi
ples and purposes?
Th men who made American history are
worthy the acquaintance of every cltiaea, young
or old. Patriotism is a natural sentiment, but
reverence tor the flag, as a symbol of all tha
country Is and hopes to be, should rest on a
deeper and more solid foundation than sentiment.
The new dreadnought Arlsona, when com
pleted, will represent an outlay of fll.OOO.OOO.
A modern floating fortress, mighty In range and
resisting power, yet a submarine costing a hun
dredth part of the sum could send the Arlsona
to the bottom without seriously Imperilling
Itself.
Governor Morehead la about to make hla
appointments of supreme court commissioners.
What for? Tbe court term end within a month

The idea of a federal law to back up price

Nebraska Press on Bryan
Colurabua Teletrram: To thou who believed Bryan
hould have smothered hla own peace principle, let
u now aniggeat that thoae principle had been mad
tha principles of th nation by the fact that during
th laat two year Bryan had aimed arbitration
treaties with thirty of th nation of th world. In
tho treaties tha doctrine was proclaimed that on
nation should not deliver an ultimatum to tho othor
until after any difference arising between them
should hav been submitted to arbitration. Lt us
remember that th entire cabinet had endoread tha
principle and tha fact that these thirty poaca treaties,
and thay hav bean approved by th American sens la.
thua making th principle Involved th settled policy
of our nation in dealing with ether governments. How
could Bryan repudiate th very prlnolpt of all those
treaties without branding himself as devoid of princi
ple aa a TaUyrand or a Mattomlchr
Hebron Register: Hagarding the resignation of
Secretary Bryan, wa believe h haa don tha right
thrnn and which will be shown later on. Mr. Bryan
always had the faculty of seeing things befora other
Popl. and It I certain that h can b of mora aerr

hi Influano to mould public sentiment agalnat war
than h could hav don to retain hla position.

Falrbnry Nw: it waa Inevitable. Everyone fa
miliar with Mr. Bryan knew It wa morally certain
to com. All through hi long political career th
en dominant trait of hla character ha been hla
pugnaclouanes. abnormally developed, and his unwlll.
Ingneas under any clrcumetaneea t serv In any
ubordlnat capacity. As a "poec" advocat h Is
about th "sorappteet" proposition that ve found
political preferment.
Ord Quia: Th resignation wa always Imminent
Bryan I a player to the grand stand. Ha also ha
hi lightning red up for emathlng to strlks him. It
is no doubt tm that he has bean watching for
month for an opportunity to rlgn In a manner to
msk himself a hero. No batter opportunity being tn
sight ho seised upon th president' note as th moat
promising thing. Having resigned, he will now ba
candidate for th Vnltad fltatea senats. or poaatbty
for th prealdeney.
Greeley Cltlsan: As to Bryan's course, though It
lays him ooen to th chars of cowardice, It is th
bst way out Should It develop, aa at present It
looks probable, that a firm stand by this government
will hasten peaeo, then, certainly. It will also develop
that Bryan's Judgment was at fault and his loas to
th govern nvatit not great.
Pender Time: It la to be hoped that tha resigna
tion of th secretary of seat doe not mean a dlvlaion
In tha forces of tho progressiva democracy. It would
be a calamity to th party and the country at this
time. It is very probable that these two great men
will continue to guide the destinies of the democratic
party on at th helm and the thr In private life
where th latter ha always been so Influential and
powerful.
Nebraska City Press: Mr. Bryan has not only quit
th service of his country at a moat critical time, an
act which no end ef smiling on German-Americans
and flirting with the Billy Sunday crowd can over,
come, but h ha shown himself to b a most incon
sistent aUteaman all around. "Rtand by the presi
dent." aald Mr. Bryan not a great while ago. And h
is the first man to sit down. .
Seward Tribune: If Bryan could not tolerate tha
thought of war, why did he not tender his resigna
tion when American troops stormed Vra Orus? The
tlm we not than rip for Bryan to pull off his four
flush stunt. Ha stood by th president in Marie all

Mtnden News: Whatever effect Mr Bryan
resignation may have on our foreign relations or tho
political situation at horn (matter on which It ia too
early te van gue Intelligently), his action In Its last
analysis, proves what many people suggested when lit
first entered th cabinet: That Mr. Bryan ta tern
peramentally unable to long co-operate with any
leader; hi own view must b acoorOd th dominant
place or there Is Motion and a niptur of working
relations.
Norfolk Nawa: Mr. Bryan la temperamentally unfit
for a position which requires co-operation with others
In th solution of practical problems of statecraft-.
He Is an idealist who, whan he ha taken a stand,
refuses to rompromls hi Ideal, even 1. the face ot
necessity, Thla mad It certain that whenever a dif
ference ef opinion arose between Mr. Bryan and the
president on a question of principle, a break would b
bound to coma.
Takamah Journal: What tit resignation portend
for th eucceaa of tha administration from a political
paint ef view and th situation In Nebraska, it would
b hard to Indicate. Of one thing w are confident,
and that la that Mr. Bryan haa made a serious tntgw

In newspaper scanning, much time would
be saved aa well as eyesight, if several
additional letter combinations would be
used. German typography uses the tz,
at as. ch. aa, ff and ck. True, we hav
used th ff and tfl, but th modern com
posing machine haa not yet adopted
them. Tha oft recurring combinations
are lag. ed, ct, tli and at. The tng can
b made by dotting tha stem of th n,
for the 1, and cutting off tb lower tali
ot th n, just below th tarn and placing
under It and writing the n, th g, which
would leave ail three letter clearly dla

one. Final ed may be made by placing
the stem of the d to the right, of tho
e, or it would be d, with the a horizontal
bar across the d oval to indicate th e.
Th combination ct. has been used by
connecting th dot ef th o with th top

the t, touching thu c, connected with th

to the capital T. This would be tho
only capital combination needed, but
very useful. Also t, would be very
service able, by bringing- the t, close to
tha s, and continuing the upper end of
th a. to continue through the t, stem
for tha horizontal bar. and let the lower
