Down In Mexico the "good old Hays" folks will talk about for many years will be the days of the Dlax depotlsm. Democracy's lightning calculators on rev enue production show no disposition to "point with pride" at a deficit. A The public man who does not receive a threatening letter now will have to write one to himself to keep la the game. The upward tendency of flour prions Is most untimely. It retards the ripening impulses of bakers to restore the full weight loaf. The earth is supposed to be gradually though almost Imperceptibly, slowing down on ita axis. But the people of the earth are speed ing up. Senator Kern of Indiana Insists that Bryan Is loyal to Wilson. This is expert testimony, Senator Kern Is a master rider of horses headed In opposite directions. r i The Illinois legislature raised the salaries of Its successor from 12.500 to $3,500. The seal which looked ahead for more pay sprang from the hope of a come back. Deserving democrats must not mistake pie for peace In the letters they are urged to write to the president. In the revised lexicon of Fair view there is no such word as pie. If there's Inspiration. In historic events, those French fighters are due to prove their mettle about next week to celebrate the annual French fete commemorating the fall of the BastUe. It is announced that hazing U to be sup pressed at Annapolis. The honor of the navy demands it. The literature of midsummer would start an epidemic of the tired feeling without tbls "beet seller." One out of every twelve marriages ends In a divorce court, according to statistics. The fact that eleven out of twelve are winners con stitutes a mighty incentive for taking a chance io the human lottery. After three years of public ownership of our water works, the water rate is 4 cents less than what the Water board prescribed as a maximum schedule for the old water company, and still cents higher than the charge In Lincoln. V..fVf . fit It Mediation Imminent? Mils Jane Addams, ordinarily conservative and accurate In Judgment and expression, has returned from Europe, convinced that the war ring nations are ready to listen to peace propos sls from neutrals. The great nations st wsr can only continue the conflict, unless from the outside Is brought a proposal that will open the way to a settlement. This, she thinks, should be made without delay, because the longer the war goes on, the harder it will be to stop. Miss Addarris does not suggest which of the neutral nations is to be mediator, but sho will see Presi dent Wilson and give to him the result of her experiences at and since the women's conference at The Hague. It Is barely possible that the desire has led to the conclusion Miss Addams has reached, but she went to Europe to determine if It were time to suggest a cessation that will eventually lead to readjustment of political affairs on that con tinent, and has returned firmly of the opinion that the time Is now. If thlg be true, and let us hope It Is, representations from the neutral pow- ; ere nnffht tn Ytm mode without detev Tt &'ttt tint 1 much matter which leada In the movement. If only It be successful. That Electric light Muddle One Way Out. ' In the muddle over a long-due reduction of electrlo lighting rates, Omaha Is hoist by its own petard. As The Bee first pointed out, and as Is now again pointed out by our contempor ary, the World-Herald, all the city had done Is to buy a law suit, while the patrons of the light ing company continue to pay for current at the old rates, which even the company admits are excessive. Looking backward we can see clearly Just how this situation was stupidly brought about. The Dahlman ordinance, which would have given us a substantial reduction, and which the elec tric lighting company publicly announced Ha readiness to accept, was withdrawn because of the outcry of a few people who objected to the straight meter-measurement scale, and the so-called Butler ordinance waa substituted with the result that the company denounced it aa con fiscatory and appealed for protection to the courts, which have bung the enforcement up In definitely. At the time these ordinances were pending, The Bee advised the council to take the reduc tion which the company offered, and then to fight for a further cut if more concessions were thought to be obtainable. It is a failure to act on this advice for which the electric consum ers arc now paying so dearly. But the sugges tion also indicates one way out, for it is not too late for the council to retrace its steps and pro ceed on the right track. Let it sow resurrect and adopt the Dahlman ordinance, and secure for Omaha the rate reductions which the com pany Is wining to concede without a contest. After the new schedule ia actually operative, the council can, If it wishes, re-enact the Butler ordinance and buy the law suit again If It wants to without naklng it so expensive to Omaha electrle light consumers, and without in the least Jeopardizing the city's chance of winning In the courts. Aimed at Omaha ' Becrudeioenoe of Crtnkism. That a considerable number of dangerous cranks should manifest their presence at this time la not at all surprising. The murderous astault on Banker J. P. Morgan ia the deed of a maniac, in whose muddled mind waa formed a fantastlo plan for doing something he imagined might help to end the war. Threatening letters sent to Vice President Marshall and others ema nate from persons more or less mentally unbal anced, difficult to locate and to deal with. It is one of the discouraging feature of na tional life that men prominent in public affairs are likely to be the targets for lunatics. This danger la not confined to any one country, but Is common to all peoplea. The present war in Europe waa touched off by an assassin, , who ought to right all his country's wrongs by kill ing a leading citizen of another. Unusual cir cumstances always stimulate one-aided minds and bring forth cranks more or less dangerous, whose activity ia aa shocking aa it ia unavoidable.

A report from the Department of Commerce shows that a new record has been made for the Importation of meats and dairy products by the United States, the total for the last ten months reaching. 138,000.000. Two-thirds of this was for meat's, mostly brought from Argentina. The figures will be of especial Interest to the farm ers of the west, on whom the country has al ways depended for its supplies of meat, butter end cheese. The situation la not at all serious, for the figurta on Imports must be placed along side the exports of food products for the same period, which aggregate $724,000,000. On this showing, it is quite evident the United States still has enough to feed ita own people, aud that' no likelihood of famine exists. It is worthy of note, though, that the possibility of competition for our farmers in their home msrket is developing under the stimulus of democratic free trade idea, and at a rate that Is not at all comforting to those who have con sidered the American farmer as free from any danger of foreign euiroachment. The total la more than three times what it was two years ago. In the meantime, the farmers of the west, ftkt especil)r of Kebrn!,V are being stimulated to produce not only more, but better food prod ucts. They are eutltled to the home market, to all possible encouragement in their ef forts to hold It. To those familiar with the perplexities beset ting courts it is no surprise that vendors pf Jus tice welcome the long summer vacation and wearily sigh for the simple lite. Imagine what would become of a layman day after day obliged to decipher such lingo as this: "The defendant wrongfully and unlawfully assaulted the plain tiff and, without the plaintiff's consent, thrust his hand into the plaintiffs pocket and wrong fully, forcibly, unlawfully and without the plaintiff's consent took therefrom" no matter what. ' Enough is quoted to convince people with hearts in the right spot that Judges deserve more sympathy and less criticism. Tekamah Journal: In yeaterday's Omaha Bee In Its Letter Pox waa a communication protesting egalrit the Indiscriminate tue of profanity In the theaters. The writer of the article la right. Suck language never strengthens a play, neither does It matte It at all ele gant. And it la for that very reaaoti that the theater loea a large part of the better patronage they might hate. .Beatrice Mun: The police department of Omaha has cauat-d white llnea to be drawn at the street Interaec tlona Indicating where pedcatrlans may go and be safe. The purpose of thia Is ta dlacouraga the practice of "Jay-walklna," which contuee traffic and adda to the dannor of being en the street. It Is taken for granted that a Jay-walker will not hn eeverely rtealt with If he can prove that walking a crooked ceurae Is a part of hla Inalienable pertional liberty. Uncoln Star: ' Insanity like Thaw s'" la the way an Omaha paper characterised the plea of a Greek ao t iwed pf murder In that city. It Is not hard to under atand why this poor Greek's Insanity could not be exactly Ilka that of the puree -pampered Harry Thaw. Fiemont Tribune: Omaha has been provided by the legislature with a law for a public defender. The duties of such an official are to take the cases of men haled into court who are too poor to hire an attorney to defend them. In certain cases Judges hsve for a long time exercleod the authority of appointing a de fender In criminal eases, but thia new law creates a permanent position. It' makes the defeiiee of an im pecunious criminal aa certain and as much a part of the public burden as his prosecution, which devolves upon a regularly elected offioer. fllngularly twai at torneys to Whom the position of defender has bean offered have refused It. The salary of ll,2no Is not munificent, but it Is a good starter for young sprigs of the law. Bhellon Clipper: If the Greater Omaha boosters oould rightfully lay claim to Council BJn'fs being a suburb of the Nebraska metropolis, tie doubt the Iowa town would be swallowed up and made a part of the Gate City. Haatliiaa Tribune: Omaha ia looming up as a formidable candidate for the ISIS damocratlo national convention. Aa Omaha Is the most oantrally located city In the I'nlted Ptatee and as It la the metropolis of the best state in the union, it should stand a pretty good chance of landing the big convention. Norfolk Press: The Omaha Bee of recant date published an editorial commending the stand of the state engineer for stronger, better bridges. The Bee Is right, as la the engineer In the stand for better bridges, but the cause for poor bridges has not been so much the polloy of economy deplored by The Bee as It wss the grafting Jnfluenee of the big bri(5a com panies on tha weak-kneed, woak-moraled county offi cials, Who have given the people the most shoddy bridge structures In exchange for their tax money. Half of the bridge grafts have never been exposed and never will be. Howetls Journal: There Is little doubt that the Jitney bualneaa st both Omaha and Lincoln needs regu lating, but there Is no crying need so far aa out In the state people can see for putting the little Jitney cut of business at the beheat of the owners of street railroad stock in the big towns of Nebraska.

OMAHA, July fc-To the Editor of The Bee I notice your Inquiry aa to the value of the British submersiblea have been to the allies In the preaent war. Have you overlooked the sinking within alght of Constantinople ef a larae Turk Ion warship very shortly after the In jection of Turkey into the wsr. to ac complish which It waa necessary for a British submarine to diva under five rows of mines? Much as the German aub marlnea have done, they have not matched this. In ror opinion. British undersea boats In tne pardanalles have also sunk Turkish transports, rqlnelayera, etc. They have destroyed no merchant vessels be cause there are practically none on any ocean under an enemy flag. You say that Germany has kept open an ocean lane between Baandlnevtan sountiies and the German coast. If so, why do not merchant venae! s under the German flag use it? The merchant vessels on that lane fly the fleas of the Scandinavian countries, if one may Jbdge from the ocean news In the Scandinavian Journals whloh reach here from the other side of the water. i It Is true that suhmeratblee of the allies might sink Norwegian and Swedish freighters in tha Baltic Just as German submarines sink vessels of those coun tries carrying freight for Britain, but the German action doea not endear the kalssr to the Soandinavlana, and Great Britain may well conaider that similar aatlon upon its part would Injure it in the eyoa of the world to a greater extent than would be offset by the trifling ad vantages derived. You say that Germany's "untersee bootes" work their will with British com merce, but. In view of the faot that l.tOO vessels per week now enter end clear from Brltlah ports, your expreselon Is not exactly the correct one. The damage done loo Ira greater to us at this distance, ap parently, than It does either to Great Britain, Its sailors or its shipowners. Should the war last for a generation, the present rate of vessels sunk by the Ger mane would bo sufficient to injure Bri tain's lead as an ocean carrier, not other wise. JOHN BUTHBRfXJRD. Hot Weather Rale for Horeea. BOSTON, July S.-To tha Editor of The Bee Please publish the following rules for the guidance of readers who own or drive horses: L Load' Uffhtly and drive slowly. t Stop In the shade it possible. t. Water your horses as often as pos sible. So long as a horse Is working. water In small quantities will not hurt him. But let him drink only a few swal lows If he Is going to stand still. Po not fall to water him at night after he has eaten hla hay. 4. When he comes in after work, sponge eff the harness marks and sweat, hla eyes, his nose and mouth -and the dock. Wash his feet but not his lags. If the thermometer la 75 degrees or higher wipe him all ever with a damp sponge. Use vinegar water It possible. Do not turn the hose on htm. , (. Saturday night give a bran mash, lukewarm; and add a tablaspoonful of saltpetre, ' 7. Do not use a horae hat,' unlets It la a canopy-top. The ordinary beJI-ehaped bat doea more harm than good. 8. A sponge on top of the head or even a cloth is good If kept wet. If dry it Is worse than nothing. a If the horse Is overcome by heat, get him Into the shade, remove harness and bridle, wash out hla mouth, sponge him all ever,- shower his legs and give him two ounces of aromatio spirits of am monia or two ounces of sweet spirits of niter. In a pint of water; or give him a pint of coffee warm. Cool his head at once, using cold water, or, if necessary, chopped Ice, wrapped In a cloth. 10. If the horse ta off hla feed, try him with two quarts of oats mixed with bran and a little water and add a little salt or sugar. Or give htm oatmeal gruel or barley water to drink. 11. Watch your horae. If he stops sweat ing suddenly, or if he breathes short and quick, or if his eara .droop, or if he stands with his legs braced sideways, bs Is In danger of a heat or sunstroke and needs attention at once. . . . 11 If It la so hot that the horse sweats In the stable at night, tie him outside, with bedding under him. Unlesa he coola off during the night he cannot well stand the next day's heat. HENRT C. MERWIN, Pres. Boston Work HorseReller Assn. Tbat "Karrlaer." ' TTLDBN. Neb..
