President Wilson baa reported to the senate, In response to a request for information, the names of seventy-six American cltizena who have been murdered In Mexico during his time in office. He also Informs the senate that as fast as these murders were brought to the at tention of his State department, "representa tions" were made to Carranta, to Villa, or to someone equally Interested. Beyond these representations no effort wss ever made to secure protection that would guaranty safety of life or property in Mexico. Yet 40,000 Americans bad made their homes across the border on invitation of the Mexican govern ment, and more than a billion of dollars of American money was Invested there In various productive enterprises. No reckoning Is made by the president of the unspeakable outrages against American women and children, reported to the State department, and there hidden away; and no accounting of property taken from Americans by the banditti during three years of "watchful waiting" Is given. Only the toll of men and women, mur dered by the irresponsible marauders, is pre sented. Their blood cries out for Justice, but I' bas not been done. Homes desecrated, women violated, children made sport of, are accom panlmenta of the tale not yet told, all the fruits of the hot and cold policy of the president of the United States. "Watchful waiting" was patient under in sult and outrage, and could also brook the murder of American citizens, but It finally landed the "first chief" as de facto head of a "military" government, to which It now wanta to send an ambassador. At this time the head of this "military" government Is playing hide and seek with his late chief butcher. This spectacle must make old line democrats, who worship "Andy" Jackson and Orover Cleveland, proud of their successor. ' Mr. Bryan's Repilarity. Nebraska democrats will feel that we are doing them a favor, we know, In bringing to their attention a letter written by William Jen nlnga Bryan to the Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post, who quotee from It aa followa with reference to aupport or opposition to the re-election of President Wil son : I hava never don anything to Justify th sua ptctnn that I would not aupport th ticket My aupport of Parker at least ought to raise a presumption In favor of my regularity. Aa I am asking nothing and desire nothing except an opportunity to work for th reform In which 1 am Interested, i fee! that I can take my own time, and In speaking on th subject b governed by my own Judgment. And In another place he declares: I hava no enemies to punish and no friends whom t would b willing to reward at the expense of the country or th party. While the citation now of the Parker episode, preceded as It waa by the consignment of Belmont-Ryan campaign boodle to Nebraska, and followed as It was by the disastrous de feat of Parker and the whole democratic ticket, may be far from reassuring, It is cir cumstantial evidence, at least, that Mr. Bryan will remain "regular" In presidential elections, because he has always been "regular," and has taken such decided exception to democrats who refused to remain "regular" on the threw occasions In which he, himself, ran for presi dent . But the auggestlon la not, we fear, conclu sive aa to whether thla regularity of Mr. Bryan will Include anything besides the presi dential ticket. His bolt of Mayor "Jim" when he captured the nomination is ominous for the democratic gubernatorial nominee thla year. In case It Is anyone else than "Brother Char ley." And aa for the senator, there Is no cer tainty that Bryan's acceptance of Wilson for another term will Include him, even though the senator aucceeda In attaching himself to the presidential coat-tails. Incidentally, let no one overlook the ob servation, "I ' want nothing except an oppor tunity to work for the reforms In which I am Interested," which must not be construed into meaning that Mr. Bryan abjures his right to claim the patronage for "deserving democrats" and that none are deserving at any rate, In Nebraska who have not been steadfastly de-1 voted to the Bryan political fortunes. . If the president would take thla remark at face value. he might Jar loose the long hung-up political pluma without further enforced "watchful waiting," but again there la the big "If." Xing' Pettr'i Plea, Something in the pathetic figure of the fugitive king of Serbia will enlist and hold the sympathy of Americana. Peter la an old man, broken In health and fortune, but filled with a spirit that llfta him above hla present and looka to the future with the faith that la born of freedom. Ilia plight la a portion of the price war exacta. He looms nobler In retreat than he would In submission. His gratitude to Americana, gracefully expressed, la surely the sentiment of hla scattered people, who appre ciate what has been done for them by the only nation that could afford succor la their ex tremity. Might doea not yet make right, and the sturdy peasant of Serbia may yet have a chance at that freedom they dearly cherish. Austria's perplexity of administration will only be Increased by suseralnty over Serbia. An other Bohemia, on a smaller scale, but quite aa determined, wilt not make the double crown of the Hapsburg house sit more easily. Even In defeat, King Peter may look ahead a little and gain some consolation from the reasonable promise of th future. A New York 'vomaa of tender sensibilities and devoted to good works, though poor In worldly goods, refused a bequest of $40,000 or more from a miser uncle, because ahe believed the money was Ill-gotten. The act la creditable to her aense of right and wrong, but strangely inconsistent. Even If the money waa Ill-gotten, devoting It to charitable ses would cleanse the taint and cover a multitude of the alna of the miser. A League of Nations To Enforce Peace Job Bate Clark, " Professor Political Beoaomy, Colombia Talvrity. THE belligerent nations have now fought oyr a year and a half and can fight aa much longer without bankruptcy. Though they should spend UOO.flOO.OOO a day for l.oro conner utlve days, their out lay would fall short of their total resources; and If they should fiKht for ten years, their lands would still remain, with most of their buildings and other Im provements, and so would their railways, harbors, mines and canals. But what will be th condition of the countries If peace shall come at the end of three years f war fare? Th productive properties that will remain will be mortgaged to th creditors of the states. Taxation will hav reached a limit that will confiscate a large share of every Income. There will b a need of costly reforms and a de mand for them backed by a new and powerful democ racy. Unless something new and effective can be done ta make great armament unnecessary the old rtvaliy In enlarging them will continue. Ther Is on possible escape from this, and only one namely, a league of nations that can preserve th pear and make great armaments uradiiePy less neces sary. What the world ta fighting for now la security against more fighting;. Every nation thinks It more Important that peace should stay when It cornea than that It should come at any particular time. The Teutons would like to Insure this by conquering their enemies and making themselves dominant, and the allies have a Ilk ambi tion. In the on ras ther would be a Pax Roman iv peaoa by th supremacy of a single power, and In the other there would be peace by a league of a consider able number of th European nations and one Asiatic power. 'Conceivably a single union might embrace all of thee states. Th two warring leagues might lay aside their enmities and form, aa It were, a great trust for the protection of mankind. They might bury th hatchet, aa rival producers bury It, for their own mutual benefit. That would preserve peace while the great union should last. The conditions that mak such a union difficult to form would make It difficult to preserve. It would seethe with Jealousies and be In perpetual danger of disruption. The German power, which has called th rival onion Into being, may help In an essential way to pre serve It It may furnish a needed bond of union capable of holding th member together until the strength of th union shall be fully developed. Even a strict neutral can see that the entente has an advantage over th combination which is opposed to It as the nucleus of a leagu of peace. It la composed of a number of nations of co ordinate rank, and no n of them has in recent years aspired to conquer another. Ther 1 little danger that the entente would har bor designs against the Independence of the smaller European atatea. Between the several members there Is a "certain balance of power, and no one of them would dare make conquests In Burope at th expense of th others. Th union could offer to th smaller nations a trustworthy guaranty of their territory and their independence. With th terrible coat of the war In view and with4 some such league as th sols guaranty against an other one, aa wall as the sole meana of eaeaplng from crushing military burdens, what possible reason is ther for not creatine HT , If, at th outset. It wer necessary that all nations should Join It, the difficulties would Indeed b aerioua. but they would be amall In th case of a league which should avolv naturally out of an existing combination. srwrr in II srfna Twice Told Tales Mat What M Expected.

To the Editor of The Bee: Military preparation for the purpose of conquest la willful descent to murder and rob on a gigantic scale, but military preparation for de fense Is an obligation and a duty, that If neglected leads to hurnillatlon and loea of honor, and finally the decay of power to control within, which Invite disaster from without In this enlightened time we find nation fighting out th grudges of dark age on th battle fields of ancient days, where men used the spesr and stone hammer In pre historic epochs, and the end is not yet With all Europe supplied with the best of modern equipment and flg.ting with hatred handed down from many centur ies. It behooves ua to ma.e sure of our strength. Most thrones today, as of old, are main tained to glorify the head that wears a crown and directs the wielding of the sword. But little attention Is paid to a weakling; to be respected and make advancement we must be strong; thla Is true In a general way, let us take heed to observe. There is only one thins that can over come force without reason, and that Is force with reason. A small nation well prepared can command respect while a large nation unprotected might lose prestige. Belgium, Bervia and Monte negro ar overrun for the sole reason that they are not strong enough to cope with th enemy; while little Holland, with Its natural fortification th dykes can preserve Its neutrality. W saw Turkey at th Dardanelles defy a great fleet. We se China with Its 400.000,000 people bowing to the mandates of Japan with Its -J.0On.000 people. Probably there Is not a government In the old world that would not rejoice to see all other nations disarm, but not on of them would of their own accord caat away their Implements of warfare. Docked In thla broad domain, there Is means to preserve and improve our every greatness If we will, and to extend. If we desire, the Influences and benefits of our progresstvenees to other lands. To make secure this vast treaaura of the world'a most precious gifts, we should provide for an able guard, and a strong, healthy, trusty keeper of the keys. W. BARTO. More Rellaloa Let iThawIoary.

Frederlo E. Pamp In The Bee. It renewed my strength and made the world look brighter to hear of a minister who was looking for the truth and could recog nize It when found. It Is a relief to find a minister who la willing to rest Ms faith in th power of the Scriptures rather than In methods and cheap vaude ville. If the pulpit had more religion and less theology perhaps the results would be different. Could there be ranker hypoc risy than to stand In th forefront of th Sunday campaign and appear to Indorse it, and then no sooner than it ia over to turn about and lend Influence to the very things this campaign condemned? There seems also to be a concerted effort on the part of the best salaried preachers to establish themselves rather than har vest the fruits of the Sunday meetings. It haa been openly proclaimed that the preacher waa entitled to unquestioned support, that he waa supreme, that he waa above criticism. I know a preachar who took this pledge from his members who would accept that they go any where at any time the Dord called them. Later this man Intimated that thla pledge meant that these persons had promised to do anything; he might ask. Trying to establish , himself at the expense of God's work. The political boas la a para gon of honor compared with such a man. I know a church that waa stirred to its depths by the Sunday meetings. Its membership waa filled with seal for work; but the attendance haa fallen off over half because they came asking- for the bread of life, but were given a per aonal bread of pre-dlgested spiritual breakfast food about aa nutritious aa sawdust The men who have failed to lead the awakening of the Sunday meet, ing hava assumed a terrible responsl-bity- a J.

To the Editor of Th Bee: If th experience of other Is the same aa mine haa been In the last three weeks, there Is some very rotten manage ment some place In the Postofftce depart ment of the country. A leading bank of Denver sent me some very Important papers and the letter waa addressed prop erly, yet it waa returned because I could not be found. My name could easily have been found In a city directory. I sent a letter to a man In Chicago two weeks ago and had the address wrong by one number only, yet the letter was returned becaus the mall carrier claimed he could not find him. The man wrote me that the mail carrier knew hlra well and that he called him down hard for hla careless ness or his Inefficiency. I sent an Important bualenas letter to a leading attorney at East St. Louis; 111., and as I did not know hla street number I addreaaed him as attorney, and the letter cam back to mo recently. Th law yer to whom It waa addressed la well known In his city and was county Judge for many years. Other letter I sent him we delivered. I did not happen to lose money In any of these rases, but had a narrow escape in losing considerable In two of the caaea. Postmaster Wharton aay that clerks and carriers are shifted from place to place and from city to ctty. and I guess that accounts for many of the m La takes and blunders mad by th Poatoffle department. It shows that th democratic party mismanages every department of the government Burleson, with the good old rebel name of Albert Sidney Johnston. Is from th state ef Texas, which ia fifty yeara behind the time In many place and they allow no republicans to vote In many parta of the atate. We need, some live men from the republican party In th north to run the Postofflce department successfully. With the south In the saddle we can expect nothing but Inefficiency In any depart ment of governmental affairs and the sooner we get rid of the Wllscn admin istration the better It will be for busi ness Interests and the general welfare of the country.
