We imagine you will be no more disappointed than the rest ot us. Revival of talk about that overdue Dodge street rladuct seems useful chiefly as exercise. Still no barm csn come from talking about it. - "No time must be lost," says the president. Unfortunately, howerer, most ot the time that be has been In the White House baa already been lent. Where there is so much smoke around a $60,000 purchase of fire equipment, there must be some fire which the flre-flgbters failed to pat out. Considerable beat marks the route between the headquarters and hindquarters of democracy in Lincoln. The situation threatens the prosper ity of coal dealers.

The grand rush to qualify for the democratic governorship handicap has so far failed to ma- terlallie. The only plausible explanation is that the inducements are not sufficiently tempting. Look at the Omaha Grain exchange, located In Us own beautiful building, and recall that ' only about ten yeara ago the "mossbacka" were '. saying Omaha could never hope to become a pri mary grain market ; . if anything were still seeded to try out the auto as a transportation vehicle, these weather conditions would finish the Job. The test shows that the automobile does better than any other means -ot travel on ordinary roads. According to army experts six tuontbs of steady drilling is needed to transform a guards man Into a real soldier. The difference be tween playing soldier and real soldiering la the difference between digging up and digging in. ' The. movie men come promptly to the front with, a promise to co-operate la health precau tions. It is as much to the Interest of the movies as of any one else that their patrons shall feel perfectly aafe when attending their shows, and the movie men should be given credit for realis ing this proposition and acting on it I Do Busmen in the Open and on the Square. ' The city council has rejected all the bids for I the new equipment to motorize the fire depart ! nient So far so good. But merely inviting new proposals win not In Itself clear the atmosphere so that the Job already cooked up can be "put over" without creating a bad odor. The trouble is that the bids are asked on specifications submitted by each apparatus maker for himself; in other words, no two are bidding on the same thing and there Is no direct competition. Letting every bidder furnish his own specification, with each claiming to have the best for the money, leaves the council free to plsy favorites, while the taxpayers foot the bill. Nor is there any assurance that such equipment would produce the desired result of a lower in surance rate. In inviting bids, the council should stipulate at least a few minimum requirements as to power, size and capacity, and consider nothlnc that does not come up to the require ments of the underwriters' recommendations, if there Is any expectation of calling on the under writers to make good tbelr promise of rate- reduction. There has been altogether too much star- chamber and back-room work with this proposi tion. Remember, it Involves not only what la to be spent now, but also the $100,000 additional to be spent next year and the year after. Let the council get down to business In the open and en the square. American Ideals and the World. President Wilson Is meeting the Brysnltes of his party with a presentation of the Issues In volved In preparednesa auch aa leaves very little for them to stand on, unless they retreat wholly behind their great leader's dream of universal peace. At Chicago, the president delivered the most momentous utterance of his speerbmaklng career when he said, referring to the people of Europe: They do not feel tha conviction of America, that our mission ta a mtaalon of peace and that righteous, nesa cannot be maintained as a standard In tha midst of arms. They do not realise that back of alt our energy we are a body of Idealists much mora ready to lay down our lives for a thought than for a dollar. One of the really serious mistakes persisted in by the older nations Is in misunderstanding or failure to comprehend this characteristic ot Americans. Our notions of democracy differ radically from the European conception. Wher ever democracy has been experimented with in Europe, it has been tinctured in a large sense by traditions of autocracy and the class distinc tions of aristocracy, or muddled by distorted notions due to a misconception of socialism. And this has led to the error of belief that Americans are without devotion to anything beyond the merely material things of life. Justified or not by the acid test of scientific analysts, our Institutions have sprung from a pure concept of freedom, have survived because cf the patriotic devotion of our people, and have expanded because their fundamentals at least are correct. That statesman who falls to reckon with this quality of the American character la leaving out of bis calculations the most Impor tant factor in the problem. Japan and America. Baron Eilchl Shlbusawa, the great Japanese financier, who has but recently concluded a hasty trip to this country, where be held consultation with some ot our money kings, has disclosed through a current magazine something of his purpose in coming to America. He proposes a union of Yankee dollars and Nipponese energy for the exploitation of China. Baron Shlbusawa doea not put hia proposition quite so baldly, hut that is the purport of his argument. He pre sents the possibilities ot the partnership so at tractively aa to 'do credit to his admitted ability as a promoter, and with an earnestness that leaves no doubt ot his patriotic devotion to Japan. American leaders ot finance are Just sow giving more attention to the needs of South America, where we are more Immediately con cerned than la Asia. Any of our neighbors he low the isthmus Is closer to us in every way than thoae on the western shore of the Pacific. -It may be that our reaourees will serve to finance the world operations that must be car ried on. It Is certain that the United States will be the one country after the war that can em bark on any extensive program of foreign devel opment. Therefore, Baron Sbibusawa's proposi tions will be In time carefully considered, along with those of others who are now at or are com ing to Columbia's gate for help. Congress Is again invited to take over by purchase a slice of Mexico, particularly Lower California. By splitting the price American suf ferers would obtain real money damages and the Carrania government enough coin to ease the rain of a deficit Uncle Barn's share in the spoil Is a stretch of territory highly esteemed for rais ing tarantulas and lemons. 0 mm J .

Bring-ing a Prixe Into Port. The exploit of the German prlae crew that haa Just landed the British steamship Appam in an United States port Is noteworthy as marking a new epoch in maritime annals. Naval annals glow with talea of how prise crews have worked vessels Into port, the vanquished crew held be low decks by show of force, the while the victors tolled to make their victory complete. In the present case this phase ot the adventure is changed. It must have been clearly an example ot obedience to authority that rendered the cap tives submissive. A submersible, even of the largest type, could scarcely spare enough men to overpower the crew of the liner, ao the sur render must have been complete, and the sub mission rarrled out In all fairness. It la also a new evidence of the possibilities of modern warfare, and shows the German mind on research bent and not above experimenting even in a serious matter of actual war. As the Appam swings alongside the Eltel Prtederlch In the comfortable harbor at Newport News, it will present an Inspiration to the sailor who hon ors his calling. No more eloquent support to the position of the United States on the queation of alnking enemy merchantmen by submarines could pos aibly be afforded than la offered In this German achievement. A feeling ot vast relief pen ados Missouri from end to end. 8onie weeks ago the 8tate Railroad commission decided tbe railroads were entitled to aa advance of certain ratea and In vited tbe managers to take the money. But the managers hesitated, probably feeling they did not need It. At last, fearing a mandatory or der, the managers bowed to the inevitable and agreed to put tbe higher rates into effect. Popular government la again vindicated. 'Cyclone' Davis' Collar Talk Congressional XWteord.

"It la true that many of thara are poor, but when wo consider them with tha common man elsewhere, for forty yeara under tha domination of tha money devil and money changers of New York, who have been tha pets and partners of the New York World, It Is much to their credit that they as farmers have bben able to live at all. "Twenty years ago my elder brother, being sub ject to bronchial trouble, ruptured a bronchial tube while making a speech aa district attorney and died of resulting hemorrhages.

To the Editor of The llee: I notice several articles in Tha Bee recently relating to the attitude of tha t'nlon Pacific charging Interstate ratea In western Nebraska. The article by the railroad official waa to the, effect that because the road runa a short distance In Colorsdo st Juleshurg that shipments were interstate and that the ratea were put In effect by direction of the Interstate Commerce commission and. the road was compelled to charge Inter state ratea, etc. The Burlington railroad runa Into Kaa saa a short distance near Reynolds and Hardy, Neb., on the line In southern Ne braska. If the one road charges Inter state rata and other not. one or the other Is violating this order of the commission. However, for the information of the t'nlon Pacific, tho ctttsena In western Ne braska, and sny one Interested, beg leave to cite the decisions of tha Vnlted States courts on the subject, vlt: The mere passage of freight and pas aengers over the soil of another state In transit between points In the same state doea not render the transportation Inter state so aa to excludo power of the state.

To tha Editor of The Bee: It is not very often I undertake to write anything for publication, but under the circumstances I feel that a good word for Mr. Ford is due, even from the average cltlsen. Mr. Ford, while a poor guesser, had high ambitions and undoubtedly sincere alms in view. He missed tha target of peace by a good many nautical miles, but brought down some frets as trophies for the Americans to look at and consider. He very pointedly proved that all the countries bordering on the north aide were Indeed chilly, and entirely destitute of warmth that very Important opening wedge that paves the way for an under taking of this kind. The surroundings seemed to sound the same sentiment- wintry, cold, destitute of civility and for getting for the time, at least, the good Intentions of the callers. The countries visited brought vividly home to tha heart of every American cltl sen a clearer conception of the effect of tha war even upon neutrals. It ahows the exceedingly bright and sunny spots America holda under the sun, only mak ing the clouds over Europe the blacker, and a land of thorns, cactus and desola tion, where the death damp'pervades all, and there la no sound 'Of music, no Joy, no fellowship and no enlightening phtloso. phy. All la reversed and dismal. The Ford idea visibly reflected the sen timents of tens of thousands In this coun try, although it sounded the death knelt of many high hopes. It brought many converts to the standard of "Peace with Justice." and. lastly, It raised quite a dust that seemed to disturb the vision of the "preparedness" crowd. Ultimately they win have to consult the common people for a remedy to let the blessed light shine In as In days gone by.. D. R. o. Am Appeal for Southern Whites. CAMP HILL, Ala.. Jan. St-To the Ed itor of The Be: On behalf of the neg lected white yOUtta 1Z th ssAUth. eawill hatl allow ma to make an appeal? Tho South ern industrial Institute, which I founded nearly eighteen yeara ago, has a planta tion of 400 acres in land and a plant worth about $80,000. I can no better MliiMtMt the work that we are doing than to re late tnis incident: Just before Christmas a little hoy dropped In upon us. He had no parents, no home, no clothes, and seemed to come from nowhere. He came, he said, be cause "Mr. Bob" told him that I would not turn him away. His parents, he had been told, died when he waa a weeks old, and he had spent part of his time In an orphans" home and the rest In various places. He la a little blue-eyed boy about 15 or 1 years old, with no bad' habits. Camp Hill was alraadv no means at hand for Jlmmle. I decided 10 aeep him over night and send him away in the morning. But whan k- morning came there were so many friends mat had come to hia rescue I could not send htm away without raising an Insur rection among our ttechera. Jimmie s case is by no means Isolated. For him we need 5 for a scholarship and HI for clothing. The great world er has seriously handicapped the donations for thla insti tution, and coupled with thla is tha un certain condition of the treasury of the state, which owee us 16,000. The legisla ture proposed a bond issue to take up aome of the more pressing obligations of tha atata. At an election recently held throughout tha commonwealth the meas ure waa voted down. Thla leaves tha publlo schools In a very dire condition, and puta tha hope of any immediate pay ment to tha Camp Hill achool beyond the realm of possibilities. If the humble boys snd Sirls of tha atata were to blame for theae conditions I should not appeal for them. Nor If I did not feel that the very best way to change the troubled condi tions of this state were to educate Ita country youth I should not appeal to tha public. But tha only permanent help It seems to mo comes from the education of tha class that I am now working with. LYMAN WARD. Principal Ulvlaa Law La4 Owslag, ST. MARY, Nab., reb. l.-To tha Editor of The Beat I aote Mr. Hlldebraad's re cent latter. "Thoughts by tho Wayside." Hia Idea of "back to the peaceful par suit of agriculture to the Ufa of happt aaaa Is certainty complimentary, but. apparently, Mr. Hlldebrand haa been reckoning without hia host. Haa he not overlooked the impracticability of "back to tha farm" aa operated under our pres ent system? Ha could not have taken Into consideration tha fact that all tho fertile land haa drifted Into the control of tha men of wealth. If a man of mea ger means wants to fsrm ha cannot do ao without tha consent of the wealthy, and they will not consent unless he agrees to psy them such an enormous tribute for the privilege aa rental that after having paid the same out of the proceeds of hia year's labor there Is not enough remaining to provide a respect able living. Mr. Hlldebrand mentions 4 to $28 lsnd rentals, and appears to approve of it. I do not. Divine law, which is supreme, saya "thou shalt not loan thy money upon Increase (Interest), for he that tak eth more than he rave is a usurer, and a usurer cannot enter the kingdom of heaven." What difference is there be tween interest and rental? True, the methods employed differ, but the results are the same. Mr. Hlldebrand deplores the method pursued of offering alluring Inducements to Join the army. Why are such Induce ments offered? Because the clana that are eating their bread by the sweat of another'a brow are fearing the present progress of intelligence, and lest the peo ple discover the Injustice of the present system under which they are laboring, and attempt to throw off the Joke of op pression It will be necessary to have a strong army In order to perpetuate the system, and by force subdue the people and compel them to submit to Its con tinuance. There are only five neressary essentials for the production of a crop: Land, rain, sunshine, seed and labor. Ood having furnished these five essentials. He cer tainly must be the owner of the entire crop, but having no use for It Himself He leaves it with the one who produced it to use, dispose of and enjoy. In my opinion when we Americana boast of our education. Intelligence, civilisation and ChrisUsnlty, we should be willing to adopt a system to permit a man to re tain for himself whatsoever an all Just God has given him. and Is his by divine rls-hf. H.

Moat people foolishly seem to think they are going to get renewed health and atrength from aome stimulating medicine, secret nos trum or narcotic drug, said Dr. Bauer, a specialist of this city, when, aa a mat ter of fact, real and true atrength can only come from the food you eat. But people often fall to get the atrength out of their food beraus they haven't enough Iron In their blood to enable it to change food into living matter. From their weakened, nervous condition they know something is wrong, but they can t tell what, so they 'generally commence doctoring for atomaoh, liver or kidney trouble or symptoms of some other ail ment caused bv the lack of Iron In the blood. This thing msv go on for years, while the pstlent suffers untold agony, if you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following teat: See how long you can work or how far you can walk - without becoming tired. Next take two five grain tablets of ordinary nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have seen dosens of nervous, rundown people who were ailing all the while, double and even triple their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other trouble in from ten to four teen . days' time sunply by taking Iron In the proper foi-rri, and thla after they had In aome cases been doc toring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forma of reduced Iron, Iron acetate or tincture of Iron simply to save a few cents. You must take Iron in a form that can be easily absorbed snd assimilated like nuxated iron If you want It to do you any good, otherwise It may prove worse than useless. Many sn athlete or prixe fighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and tiled hia blood with iron before he went into the affray, while many another haa gone down to Inglorious defeat simply for the lack of Iron. .
