It Is figured that although ocean shipping
facilities have been reduced only about 25 per
cent, ocean transportation charges are two and
a half times what they formerly were. This
situation ought to work almost as well as a ship
subsidy If only It could be counted on to last a
leasonable length of time.
Just the same it looks like a tremendous eco
nomic waste to put $10,000 into the construc
tion of a tabernacle that Is to be torn down with

purpose of accommodating big meetings, con
ventions and similar assemblage.

Plain Words to the Fire Underwriters.
The fire underwriters are bringing all sorts
of pressure to bear upon the city authorities for
the replacement of our fire alarm system at a
cost of approximately $160,000, to say nothing
cf largely added expense of maintenance, hold
ing out vague prospects ot relief from the long
exacted extortionate fire rates, and an Implied
threat that no reduction will be forthcoming
until this demand is met.
It striken us that it Is np to the underwriters
to tell us In advance exactly what rate reduction
they will make In exchange for the proposed in
'eatment in fire alarm apparatus, and In view
of our past experience, to put it In written con
tract form so that It can be enforced,
Omaha's present fire rstes date back many
years, and are made up of numerous penalties
charged agslnst us for alleged shortcomings in
fire protection, 81nce those rates were made,
however, many of the defects have been re
moved, and tremendous advances made in less
ening fire risk. The bugaboo used to be the
single line' connection to the pumping plant In
Florence, which has now been remedied by the
construction of a second main. The water dis
tribution has also been bettered by pipe exten
sions In all directions, by Increase of ptimpage
facilities, and by enlargement of storage reser
voirs. But no recognition whatever has come
from the underwrite In rate-making.
Omaha Is today spending more on Its fire
department per capita, and proportionately to
other municipal activities, than any other city In
the country. It has adopted new, and up-to-date
building regulations, meets all requirements In
electrical wiring, and has admittedly fair In
spection of explosives and inflammables. Most of
our new buildings are of the highest type of
construction, many of them with sprinkler equip
ment. But we are paving the same fire rates
exacted befr "iee improvements were made.
Omaha ' en a field highly profitable to
the fire Int companies, but they have not
dealt fairly ;maha. It seems to us that it Is
high time tint they show some disposition to
meet ns half way.
May Strike a Snag.
All-American negotiations for the settlement
of Mexican affairs do not appear to be proceed
ing as smoothly as might be wished, and may be
seriously delayed because of difference of opin
ion an to the status of the "clentlflcos," or for
mer adherents of DIM. President Wilson wants
to Ignore entirely this class of Mexicans, because
they gave their support to Huerta and thereby
Incurred the displeasure of our president. Sor
South American representatives In the cons
ence believe all classes of Mexicans should have
consideration and are therefore disposed to in
sist that the men who largely control Mexican
ludustry and commerce be permitted to have
something to say as to bow the new government
chall be formed.
Carranza has also shown himself Inclined to
further disturb the situation. His action In ex
I tiling In most summary fashion the minister
from Guatemala Is not calculated to further the
process of peaceful adjustment, especially as It
3 alleged by the agents of the "first chief" at
Washington that the withdrawal of the Brazil
ian minister from Mexico was due to the um
brage given Carranza by the participation of Bra
ail In the conference. This action might be passed
over, as a great many acts of the Mexican "lead
ers" will have to be, in order thai peace may be
achieved, but it seems improbable now that the
program of President Wilson will be adopted
without delay and amendment.
The Tractor Show.
Out at Fremont this week the Commercial
club of that town In conjunction with the Twen
tieth Century Farmer, published here In
Omaha, are entertaining one of the most im
portant gatherings assembled anywhere in the
world this season. It Is a meeting of the big
frm machinery makers of the country, who are
showing to the world what their engines can do
lu a practical way for agriculture. Nothing bet
ter illustrates man's progress along the upward
path than his advance In methods and processes
of agriculture. Americans have long led In this
regard, and almost everything that has been in
vented or devised to Improve the ways of plant
ing, cultivating, or harvesting crops of any kind
is of American origin. The tractor show Is im
portant first, because it exhibits to the prospec
tive users of the power the machinery that Is
nuking farming more and more of an exact
science. Haphazard methods have been aban
doned by the progressive men who have brought
the yield of the western empire up to its present
magnificent figures, and have added millions to
the wealth of the country through their enter
prise. To them the big traction engine Is a
means to an end, that of still further increasing
the output of the farm while reducing tho In
itial cost.
In a secondary sense, the traco;- ls im
portant la ahowlng how the forces of nature may
be harnessed for man's productive uses, as con
trasted with the exhibit offered In eastern cen
ters, where wheels are whirling night and day
t produce destructive agents.

Counttc r.cratlons of mcu huve blushed

Fcther Adam acted when It was discovered that
he had taken a bite or the apple. Instead of
shielding Mother Eve an a good and gallant
gentleman should, we have been taught that he
sought to exculpate himself by blaming ber as
being a temptress. Of course she was, just aa
all her daughters have been, luring man to the
undoing of his egotism, and slyly laughing at his
confusion, but the.sons of Adam have learned to
stand up and take the censure themselves. But
now comes a learned assyrtologtst, and take
the load off Adam and Eve, and puts It onto
Noah. It was the grsnd old sailor who ate the
forbidden fruit, according to a bit of theology of
the anclenta, just deciphered at Oxford. It may
be a long time before Adam la fully exonerated
from the guilt Imputed to him, and as for Noah,
he being a sea captain, and already accused of
tippling, putting the curse on Ham, and a few
other things, he won't mind being made the
siapegoat Just once more.

Calls for Chaaare of Political Scenery
NORTH PLATTE. Aug. .-To thj
F.dttor of The Bee: Mr. Oeorge W. Per
king, the progressive party promoter,
says "This country Is not prepared for
either w-ar or "peace." ,lle mlg.it have
added that we have three prospective
wars on hand with Mexico, Germany and
.England.
The native Aztec has always been In
revolt against the Spanish Invasion lor
0 years. It hn been said that th Aztec
were barbarian, given to human sac
rifice. If they can beat the human sac
rifices now being made in Europe by
Christian nations, they will have to come
some more.
For forty years the democratic par;y
ha followed In the wake of the lepub
lloan garbage wagon waMng for ome
thtng to fall off for Its benefit. When
Itoosevett overthrew the republican
wagon, the democrats gathered Up the
Messed privilege of overthrowing this
government and "fixing" It. But Wilson
did not know what to do with the
"blessed privilege" after he got It, but pro
ceeded to make the most of It by deliver
ing an ultimatum to Mexico, Germany
and England, and getting turned down
by the three of them. ,
To Invade Mexino and make her be
good, would be like taking candy from a
child; but Wilson dare not take the re
sponsibility. He now sends to five or
lx South American governments, which
are of similar race or religion, soda!
habits and revolutionary tendencies, as
Mexico, and with this conglomeration
proposes to make Mexico be good. To
hold a constitutional election In Mexico,
or almost any South American state,
would be like organizing wild geese Into
a colonization society. Tney might settle
down at night, but no telling where they
would be the next morning. Not o le
Mexican In a thousand votes, or care
to do so; all h wants 1 to be let alon
and enjoy himself. Mexicans are demo
crats, and If Wilson want to support
democracy, he should have siippirtod
Villa; bis present policy will suppress
Villa and reinstate the same Interest
that were represented by Huerta. Such
will be the result of holding at the pres
ent time a constitutional-dictated election
In Mexico, and under present condition
none other can be held.
If Wilson Is determined to make Mex
ico be good, let' him procted on his own
motion. Of the two contending factions
In Mexico, Huerta represented Imperialism
and Villa revolutionary democracy. One
or the other of these most prevail; there
ls no Intermediate ground. Wilson now
has an opportunity to demonstrate his
democracy. Let him clean up his Job
In time to give O. W. Perkins a chance
to demonstrate where he 1 going tu
progress to.
The American people are tired of
"bunk," tariff. Income tax, or any other
nonsense. They are extremely anxJo a
that Wilson should clean up his democ
racy, and give O. W. Perkins, Roose
velt, et al., a how to get in tholr work.
In the meantime, competent seamen on
their ship of state wiy not desert it till
they see some other ship to which to go.
Tho American people are In favor of
"preparedness" for self-preservation for
themselves not for some other fellow.
Now that the democratic dromedary of
tariff ha expired, and Income tax ha
crawled Into Its hole, what further use
have we for a demon ratio party? Change
the aoene and glv ua a rest, if ws can't
have a remedy. LUCIBN ETEBBIN3.

the Editor of The Bee: Our family have

and local new, but during the next
year. Or until the close of the war,
would like to take a paper that gives the
full account of the German atrocltloa
and barbarities.
We realize that as you have a German
clientage, that that Is the reason you
have to suppress aa much as possible,
while giving whole columns to account
of German-American singing societies,
etc.
So thai these German readers cannot
complain, please publish a list of, say, the
prominent New Tork paper which are
anti-German and pro-German, so those
that pay their money can talc their

Ide a fair "deal." rt. S.

MY SUMMER GIRL.
Clinton Scollard In Judge.
She wore drcHses thnt were natty
And slim hoots of perfect fit;
She was chipper, she was chatty.
And she had a pretty wit
And her fair hair, I mlRht mention.
Was inclined to crl!, and curl;
She had blue eyes like the gentian.
Had my little summer uirl!
We would sit on the veranda
In the quiet evenglow.
And she seemed to understand a
Fellow's whims and wavs vou know.
She had not n peer at dancing.
And she caroled like a tnerle;
Truly she was most entrancing,
Was my little summer girl:
She could quote a clever stanza.
She could tell a funny tale;
She was life's supreme romanza
For one ordinary male.
And we golfed and bathed and boated.
Till my head was in i whirl;
I was verv much devoted
To my little summer I'.trl!
Clear the skies that brooded o er me,
All earth seemed In perfect tune.
And 1 dreamed I saw before me
