Fourth of July cele bration should be made memorable, but at the same time kept safe and sane. Let the 'dislocated officeholders of our merged suburbs solace themselves with the thought that It had to come sooner or later. The showing of menacing discrimination in the proposed ratos for east bound packing house products from Omaba flatly contradicts certain railroad pretentions. . It Is snnounced on behalf of Mr. Bryan that he will spend some of his precious time at hi Itome in Nebraska. Cheer up! The tat will continue on the political map. This rush of foreign bonds secured by ample collateral, and netting purchasers 6 per cent or more, threaten to give the home output of 4 s and iV per cents a bargain counter look. The calm serenity and noise '.eeaness of Flor ence amid the merger excitement suggest the Influence of Whitcomb Riley' admonition; "The bogey man Ml get you ef you don't watch out." ' ' I Folks cannot get along without doctors, but they. may be pardoned for winking the other eye when doctors solemnly tsll them to follow health rules which, If heeded, would send half , th doctors to ths bread Unas. v A peace propaganda endowed by Carnegie millions excites the Jingoes. Hitherto the latter monopolised organisation and resources. Com petition and opposition bold out ths annoying proipect of being obliged to work for their fees. It is authoritatively announced that William J. Bryan will retain his Nebraska realdence and cltlaenchlp. It's dollars to doughnuts that the name will appear under some appropriate head ing on our next primary ballot, if he live that long, and there are no Indication of hi family being short-lived. Every foreign legion In an army seek to do greater deed than the regulars snd usually are more eager for the fray. Th fate of the Canadian battalion which lost BOO out of 700 men in s recent battle suggest tht character istic. In former war a loss of 70 per cent would be extraordinary, but ths present war is txtrsordlnary In it slaughtering. x - - 7 a ssrasj: Preparations for a grand old-fashioned Fourth of luly have been started by a meeting called by H. p.

Colonrl House ha brought to President Wil son a report t but confirm the best opinion of non-official observers concerning the doubtful outlook for peace In Europe. It is to the effect tliat the end of the war Is afar off, and that present tender of good offices will be of little avail in the way of accelerating approach to settlement. Th power at war have aeemlngly ret themselve for a long struggle. That neither ha been able to score a walk-over, and that at present neither 1 willing to make concession that would result In final adjustment, are con clusions supported by every outwsrd evidence. Each I bending Its every energy and calling in every resource to provide for continuing the con flict on Its present magnificent scale, and each iindoubtedly proposes thst ths struggle for supremacy go on till a definite end 1 reached. Surface Indications at this time do not Invite mediation. Picking- a Place for Bryan. Sachem and sagamores of the democratic tribes are much concerned Jut at present over the task of landing the late secretary of state In a place where he will stay put. This 1 not an easy task, nor a novel one. It ha been tried many times, and has always failed, but the futil ity of the undertaking doesn't seem to dismay th other leaders of Mr. Bryan's party. The ei-eecretsry has a most annoying way of bob bing up Just at a time when hi presence will be most Inconvenient for the other fellow, always lighting Just where he Is most In th way. One expedient proposed Is to make him president of a great Chautauqua assembly; another I to give him a professorship In a big school, where he csn lecture to his heart's content. These insti tutions will profit through the advertising ob tained by being named In connection with Mr. Bryan, but they needn't flatter themselve that either I going to secure a monopoly on his attention. He 1 certain to be on the Job in 1916, and bis presence mean trouble for a cer tain brand of democrat. Oar Present Foreign Commeroe. From the Department of Commerce cornel the analyst of the foreign trade of the United State for the month of April, which 1 inter esting, especially s showing thst some of the glittering generalities given out by the press agents of the administration are only half truth. Quite a little has bsen made of the statement that, despite the rush of so-called war orders, the export of manufactured article, ex clusive of foodstuffs, shows a falling off for ten month In comparison with a similar period 'in 1914. Thl I true, the decrease being about $40,000,000 for the combined Item of "manu factures for further us In manufacturing" and "manufacture ready for consumption.'' But, along with thl statement must be tsksn the further fact that In the ten months reported on, the exports of the United States to Germany have fallen from $308,820,104 to $28 861,187, and for the month of April, 1115, are reported as nothing. To Austria in the last ten months the United State sent goods valued at 1, 319,914. as sgalnst $19,808,66 lu the ten months period ending with April, 19 14. For Belgium th decrease waa from $53,698,230 to $18,310,028. The figure are roost eloquent of th effect of th wsr on the foreign trade cf the United States, and in thsmselve very readily account for the announced deficit In the total of manufactures sent abroad. On the other hand, shipment to France, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and th United Kingdom hsve Increased enormously, to almost make up the los sustained through the stoppage of trade with the beleaguered coun tries. The shipments to these countries are not reported on In detail, but th fact that Norway's jmrohsies bars risen from $7,693,050 to $36, S94.976 is significant, as I also the increase in Sweden' purchase, from $13,168,123 to $71, 911,063. . Solution for One Censorship Easy. Complaint from Scandinavian countries, especially Sweden, that the British censor ha been opening letter passing through ths malls, U to be met by a very simple expedient. Here after malls from the United States to the Scan dinavian countries will be sent forwsrd by ves sels that do not touch at British ports. This will easily obviste th annoying Interference and Is not a cause for International complica tions. The fact that private mall ha been under going scrutiny in England ha been known for month. It I charged that the British censor has a machine for opening letters thst does it so neatly that only the most minute examina tion will disclose the fact that the missive has been tampered with. Hitherto, no formal com plaint ha been lodged, but the Swede got tired of the practice and protested. How far th censorship 1 permissible In thl direction I an open question, but the British authorities have been pretty well stirred up over the practice of espionage and are suspicious of all European. However, mall that doe not go through British hands will not be tampered with. 600,000, and other countries by 1,300,000, so that the falling off In direct shipment to Ger many and France has been nearly compensated for. Increased activity in bom manufacture and the lessened acreage planted for th year will surely reduce the atrplu stock from Isst yesr's bumper crop, and old King Cotton may throw away th crutches and stand on his own feet again, along with King Corn and King Wheat. Was Governor Morehead "kidding" or "bluffing?" Th governor named Ransom to the new office of public defender for the reason that the unfortunate criminal unable to hire a lawyer was entitled to the service of an able and experienced attorney, and then on th next round appoint Ransom' office boy. It must be a tribute to the young fellow a equal to hi preceptor. A atat commission is about to inquire into the operation of the hard coal combine in Pennsylvania.

"split" of th rakeoff front outsider.' Our New Secretary of State X.!trery Digest. IN TUB photographs of Robert Lansing, our new aecretaiy of ststs, the features reveal In every line the uualltlea that all the world has come to acknowl edge aa rharacterlntlrally American. There are flrm neau. strength, persistency, energy, keen Insight, fear less honesty, snd humor ths most necessary attributes of what we take pride In calling the American splrn. and whl-sh nowhere may more appropriately be found than lu the Department of State. They have. Indeed, had a great deal to do with th nation's International policy thua far, or so we sre Informed by "a member of the United States diplomatic service," who aveis that Mr. Inflng aas'sted materially In the wording of our various notes to Ormany end England. "The office of counselor," we are told, "which Mr. Tensing held. Is second In rank to thst of secretary of state, and wsa invented by Secretary Knox for Henry M. Woyt. a lawyer of more profeaalonal Im portance than most government officiate. It was ac cepted at the beginning of the present admlniatratlon by John Baasett Moore, who enjoyed the hlghet rep utatlon as an author on International law, but failed to ogree with Mr. Brysn. Mr. Lennlng then stepped Into the place. It Is a mistake to suppose that he was s rival of the Nebreska orator. In fact, he-acted often aa a mediator to smooth out friction between the president and the secretary." if the supposition of his opposition to Bryan has arisen, It Is perhaps due, a much as anything, to tle fact of their very different personallttea, Lansing la the quiet, efficient, forceful, self-controlled type ft American who runs an organisation whlls others are making a fuss. The secretary stands about five feet ten Inches snd weighs 1S5 pounds. He Is well set up and exceed ingly nest In appearance. In fact, he Is known aa the bet-dreaed man among the higher government officials, presenting an odd contrset to the late secre tary. He has thick, closely cropped Iron-gray hair and a small, neatly trimmed, gray mustache. At this time of year he itsuslly wears a gray cutaway coat, striped trouaera, and a soft gray hat. He goes to church with his wife twice every Sunday. He llkea to watch a game of base ball and plays golf himself. He Is moderately fond of the thegter. He hsrdly ever drinks snythlng beyond half a glass of wine for polltenees' sake, but he Is quite devoted to tobscco. At the office for a largs part of the time he smokes a rich, dark brier-wood pipe, but, of course, he has to put It awsy when an ambassador calls. Mr. Lansing has s fondness for drawing, and h's friends ssy he has considerable talent in this direc tion. His strong point Is making caricatures of people. Usually when talking to a person he makes sketohea on little plecea of paper. It Is rumored that he has made some clever cartoons of well known diplomats and politicians, but certainly he la very careful not to let them get Into circulation. The secretary writes poetry, nd finds the best re lief from the worries of a difficult diplomatic situation In this Intellectual exercise. He Is also a great reader of poetry. He goes to his office regularly at S o'clock In the morning, riding in a trolley-car, and works late, usu ally till ( o'clock, often returning In the evening. Mr. Inalng is averse to seeing callers, because he has so much to do, but when he does so his manner Is exceedingly friendly snd sympathetic His reputation for quiet, dry humor Is well recog nised among lils scquslntances. The chronicler relates one of tho secretary's favorite stories, which concerns that period of Mr. Lansing's career when be waa practicing law In Watertown. N. T.. where the Inx alngs have long been prominent In the affairs of the state, ever since old John Lansing went as a delegate to the Constitutional convention at Philadelphia In 1787. Mr. Lansing had once to appear before a newly elected Jtist'ce of the peace, and one, it appears, who was not himself a lawyer, but the only substantial cltljen available for the position. Th case proceeded as follows; . , . In the Jourse of the trial Mr: Lansing oroae-exsm-Ined a witness rather severely. The witness wss stub born, and cither didn't or wouldn't catch the drift of the lawyer's questions), which had to be repeated sev eral tiroes'. Mr. 1-aDslng repeated a question five time without changing a single word in it. His tactics Irritated the Judge, and the lawyer was directed to ask a new question. Instead he repeated th question a sixth time, determined to get the answer be was after. "Mr. Counselor," broke In the Judge, "I object to your asking thst question again." Ths question wss once more repeated. Again the judge proteated. "Mr. Counselor," he de clared In en Injured tone of voice, "I object to your asking the same question ever snd over again." Mr. Lansing wss qulok to take advantage of the Judge's lack of Judicial training. "Your objection I overruled," he snapped. This completely nonplussed the Judge for a mo ment, hut he recovered himself quickly and exclaimed defiantly, "I take an exception!" Twice Told Tales Bastaeas la Baslaewa.

"I don't know snythlng about music, and we have no perforated rolls," he walled.

OMAHA, June iB.-To the Kditor of The Bee: Can we not prevail on parents to Instruct those who take their babies onto the street to be more careful to protect the eyes of these little ones? It la positively distressing to see how children, too small to help themselves, are compelled to He and stars Into the sky. and sometimes actually Into the sun Itself, when tsken out In this way. Most maids, and for that matter, many mothers, seem to think that protection from the sun Is all that Is necessary But bright skylight is almost aa painful as direct sunlight certainly enough so to make enforced submission to It nothing less than agony. Carelessness in this respect is so unl versnl that the wonder Is that any of them grow up with decent eyesight. Un questionably, many of the cases of de fective vision so numerous among school children are due to this eye strain en dured when they were babies. E. J. M. Calls Bryan a (tnltter. BROKEN BOW. Neb., June .-To the Editor of The Bee: In all the various comments nud discussions on the resigna tion of William J. Bryan from the presi dent's cabinet It seems the most amusing attitude of one of our state papers has been entirely overlooked. Shortly after Mr. Bryan's resignation the State Jour nal came out editorially criticising Mm quite severely for thst paper, and the very nest dn carried another editorial in the nature of an apology for the criti cism and In defense of the ex-secrstary of state's action. This editorial policy of the Lincoln paper gives rise to the query, "Does BrotV.cr Charley act aa censor on al) editorials pertaining to his Illustrious brother before they are pub lished In the State Journal 7" Be that as it may, the fact remains that our silver tongued orator has proven himself a quit ter and lost out on a good hsnd and will soon be In the discard, for the American people don't like a quitter. The campaign slogan of the' democratic party to elect congressmen at the last election was "Uphold the hands of the president," and at tho most critical moment the party's so-called leader and dictator rocks the boat by deserting the ship. ARTHUR V. SHAFFER. Editorial Siftings Grandfather Clause New York World: Thousands of whit men have as much reason to spplaud this Judgment as any negro. Every outcast In a republic, for color or religion or race alone, gives oligarchy, bigotry and aristocracy an excuse for banishing others on any ground that prejudice may name. Minneapolis Journal: The "grandfather clause," a favorite device In the south for excluding poor or Ignorant negroes from exercise of the right of suffrage without at the same time excluding poor or. Ignorant whites, has beeit found un constitutional by. th United Statea su preme court. Indianapolis - News: - - There Is not a southern state that rsay not apply and enforce an educational qualification. All that 1 Insisted on .la. that It shall be honest In so doing,1 and shall exclude from the right to vote all Illiterate men, without regard to race. If such Is the gist of the decision Illiterate blacks are to be disfranchised, so must illiterate whites be, even though ' descendants of persons entitled in IM to vote. St. Louis Republic: No man with a spark of common sense will condemn a stste for attempting to safeguard Its community life against the perils of the ballot In the hands of Illiterate blacks; the only pity Is that the framers of the provisions in question did not see that Illiteracy I a peril to ths state, no matter what the color of the skin of the illiterate. There Is no commonwealth In the union that would not be better off. In every respect, if the ballot were withheld from every man unable to read and write. St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The Okla homa grandfather clause waa, as every body admitted at the time It waa pending, directed solely at the 8 per cent negro population. Indians were exempted from lta provisions, for the tribes had "a form of government." Literally applied, many others than negroes would have been barred, but In practice none have been. Prior to IMS there were a few statea of th union which did not havs universal manhood suffrage. It would have affected descendants . of certain European not naturalised by lfifia. But In practice no white man was asked as to hi ancestral disabilities. The literacy test of the negro was a farce in most of the counties. At ons election pro fessors in the colored college were dis franchised, although highly educated. In some places negroes were compelled to write 4.000 words of the constitution, only to be denied the vote because a few "t's" were not crossed. Tips on Home Topics Minneapolis Journal: At a time when the rest of the world is swry, it U a healthy sign thst we are paying attention to our own affairs. It means that, we are view Ing events ome more in th riaht rersrectlve. As has been salJ. tho big news for us from Wsshington the other day was not thst our relations with Germsny were strained, but that tbe fsrmers snd planted ,000W) more acres in wheat than ever before In our history. Rprlngfield Republican: A subcom mittee of the New Tork school boa rd has decided that the song. "I didn't ralae my boy to be a soldier." is a proper one to sing at school exercises, thus disposing of the complaint of a local militia officer. The decision is sensible. Patriotism and Us legitimate military backing will not auffer from such an appeal to the sentiment against the "glory" of war. The "songs of the nation" have their full rights to freedom of speech. Philadelphia Record. It Is Interesting to know that a new black dye, mde of American materials, has been demon strated here in this city with entirely satisfactory results, and is vouched for by the Nstlonsl Association of Hosiery at.d Underwear Manufacturera. It la claimed for It thst It has points of su periority over sulphur black, and that It Is cheaper. Th manufacturers of tex tiles and the chemists are beginning to realise that it wUl be some time before G-rman dyes will come Into thla market again freely, and that domestic dyes hsd better he provided. Necessity ,e the mother of Invention. Baltimore American: The Italians can boast thst they sre slready fighting on the enemy's territory. They have taken Shakespeare's advice about the way of bearing themselves In a fight after being slow to enter It. Cleveland Plain Dealer: The Russians claim to have been successful In their defense of Lvoff. The Germans claim to be still pressing on toward Lemberg. These claims do aot appear strikingly contradictory till one remembers that Lvoff is the Russian for Lemterg and that Lemberg la the German for Lvoff. Springfield Republican: The greatest original "find" of the Wilson administra tion waa Colonel House. Unknown to the general public even In this country two and one-half years ago, the Texas colonel has be. ome a personage of International fame because he serves the president as unofficial eyes and ears In the leading European capitals.
