Retirement of Von Tirpitt
Alfred von Tirpitt, admiral of the German
nary and minister of the navy In the German
imperial cabinet, haa resigned and retired after
half a century of active connection with the tea
arm of the empire. Raaaons for this move may
only be surmised, but It cannot be because of
his Inactivity. He haa followed a policy that
haa at times aeemed Inexplicable, but which ran
hardly be personal to him. The refusal of the
German navy to try conclusions at sea may be
well accounted for on a single hypothesis. It la
well understood that at the beginning of the war
the German navy waa doubly overmatched by
that of Great Britain. Perhaps the same rela
tive strength still la maintained. The contem
plated invasion of England will require the
a r rice of a strong navy, and, therefore, von
Tirpltx held his warships waiting until the army
had cleared the way to the coaat of Franco or
Flanders, that It might be at Its maximum of
efficiency when called upon to aupport the land
forces In their swoop across the channel. At
all events, von Tirpltx must have had the aup
port of the cabinet and the emperor for his
plana. He baa been charged with the responsi
bility for the spresd of terror at aea, and will
probably accept that, ao far aa It conforms to his
personal views of wsr. Von Tirplts Is a warrior,
devoted to the Fstberlsnd, and thoroughly im
bued with ita Ideals. He would mske any sac
rifice for the advantsge of his country, and feel
he simply was doing his duty.
What the sea plans of Germany are has never
been disclosed, nor does the present wove afford
any better basia for conjecture. Perhaps a
change in ministry may bring new vtewa to bear,
although assurance has been given that no mod
ification will occur In the subsea warfare. The
kaiser's will will be done, so fsr aa the partici
pation of the German nary in the wsr Is con
cerned.

What ii a Democrat f
An Omaha man haa attracted a momentary
flash from the spotlight by objecting to the
Dim of Wlllism Jennings Brysn on the Ne
braska primary ballot as a delegate to the St.
Loula convention for the reaaon that he Is not
a democrat. This renews the old, old question,
What Is a democrat? Is he a man who follows
Brysn or Hitchcock, who believes In free trade
with Underwood or protection with Wilson, who
accepts the gospel of democracy as taught by
Sam Randall and by Henry Wattereon, or the
dogma expounded by Norman Mack and Tom
Taggart? Which one of the various vagaries
of the leaders must he espouse in order to stand
the test? Once the democratic party was aptly
described as "an organized appetite," but It haa
lost even that distinction. It now appears to
be a dlsorgsntxed mass of misguided advocates
of a multitude of unrelated hobbies, exploded
theories and impossible propossls. Maybe Sec
tetary Pool will be able to tell us what is a dem
ocrat, and then we may again resume contem
plation of the equally Interesting problem, Why
is a democrat?
Meanlnjr of the Water Works rijrurei.
The state audit figures It out that the Omaha
water plant la properly chargeable with, la
round figures, $130,000 In taxea that wou'd
have been paid Into the public treasury, under
private ownership. It shows, also, another
$15,000 taken out of the public treasury as
hydrant rental taxes. These two Items com
bined, or $295,000, represent the annual con
til button of the taxpayers and property owners
to the water works operation, to be offset, of
course, by the water furnished the city for fire
protection, the bond sinking fund.ef $130,000
and the surplus of $88,000. On the face of It,
the audit shows good earnings,, but It also fully
confirms The Bee's assertion that either the
meter rate is still too high, or the hydrant tax Is
too high, or, more probably, both.
Public Health and Garbage Nuisance.
Omaha la again facing a problem that comes
with every returning springtime season. It la
the dispossl of household refuse. From the
time Omaha began to take on metropolitan pro
portions this question has been acute. It has
been temporised with, shuffled with and In
every manner of way haa been evaded. It Is
now at a point where it ought aquarely to be
met. What good la there in Dreachine- about
public health, and scolding people for failure to
observe the commonest rules of ssnltatlon, when
the city authorities will permit the dumping of
tefuse and garbage on vacsnt lots? The man
ner ia which Omaha has dealt with the question
would tha me, a savage. The wildest and wool-
lest community that ever sweltered ia the sua
oa a western plain ahowed mora care for ltaelf
than ia evinced here in a city that la beautiful
and progressive In all other rezarda. Many
plans to remedy this have been discussed, but
none adopted'. It ia time something dsflnite
were done.

Democratic candidates for atate office, com

sgalnst a serious breach of that hospitality.

nevertheless aa offense that can hardly be over

gam laws, and according to the rules laid down
by Hoy). Thla Hat includes the salvation of
Omaha from the clutches of the corporations,
the restoration of tho city's moral rectitude by
the vanquishing of the cohorts of conglomerated

EACH year aa L Patrick's day arrives public at
tention Is drawn to tha green flas; of Erin and
Its harp of gold. Tha popularity of this national
emblem la ao com plat that the design of tb ErnaralJ
I I ha gained world renown. Not only natives of
the "auld sod," but people of other nations show an
Indisputable fondneo for thla flas. It la not because
the banner of green Is repreaentatlve of power or
wealth that It has been able to blase Ita own way Into
prominence, but the secret of tha admiration of th
Irish flag Ilea In tha fact that It symbolise o ex
actly th national characteristic of Ita people.
Th color augfaats tha constant verdure of th Is
land, th outdoor bsblta of th rural folk and th
sunshine of life, which Is reflected In each Irish
heart. Times may be bard and dark clouds of pov
erty lower, but the Irish always see the silver linings
which foretell better days. Th people talk, laugh
and act la tnualo. each singing his song from th
cradle to the grave. Bom measure are gtsd and
soma are aad, but hop I never abandoned.
Ia ohoslng th harp aa their national emblem tho
sons of Brla wove th symbol of their very being Into
eech Irish flag. Th harp represents their early
rellaious worship, both pagan and Christian; their
national recreation, the medium through which th
deeds of their heroes wer taught to th people and
th book from whloh very child in early times
learned tha leaaons of patriotism and lova of country.
From historical accounts It seems that thla musical
Instrument Is aa old a Irish civilisation, but even
hlatory I antedated by the legend of tha first harp
of Ireland.
Th old story of Das da, the pagan god, tells that
one when the hero waa walking by one of tha beau
tiful lakes of his country he beheld a pretty damsel.
It waa lov at first sight on th chief's part, for
Dagda sought th maiden, in th hop of gaining her
hand In marriage. Probably th girl was not so
favorably Impressed with her wooer. Ph ran into
th forest to hid from him, but Dagda pursued close
by. At length apon coming to a rounding beach th
maiden's attention was absorbed by strong sound.
Such music! Th dried skin of a whale stretched
over the skeleton of tha creature formed a harp for
tha mournful wind to whistle through. Th girl waa
enchanted. When Dagda saw that auch aounds fascin
ated her, he improvised a wooden Instrument pat
terned from th whale harp- By plucking th strings
with his strong finger, he plsyed such sweet muaio
to th maiden that h finally won her heart.
Tb suooes f this romsnc gave th Incentive
to other lover to fashion similar harps until it wss
not long before th "old story" was sat to musle
whenever a young chief went wooing. Harpers all
over the country accompanied their atorie of love
and valor with thla musical Instrument. Bards Jour
neyed from place to place with their harpe. elnglntf
of th deeds of wonder which their bravs chiefs had
accomplished. As all thla happened long before th
day of prinlWi Ink, It wa th only wsy In which
th people of th land could learn of the conflict
and victories of their own heroes. The harper wer
always weloome and given th best In th house.
Hvn king wer so gladdened by their presence thai
th coming of on of the bards meant a banquet
In th great hall where th table seated more than
a hundred. If a story teller waa present ha shared
honor with th harpiat, for these two entertainers
furnished th merriment for th all-night feast.
Fr a nobleman to be without auch a symbol ef
rank usually meant that hla Position had been for
faited. Aa time went on the growing popularity of
th harp and th genius of th poor people In per
forming upon th Instrument mad it possible for al)
freemen to poss harps. Thla ownership waa on
o in, uret inings oisunguiening a freeman from a
Slav. How much the In bondag suffered from
ths restriction that slave should not vn touch
the Instrument cannot b easily Imagined. Grad
ually th harp eeoajne mom and mora common
Brin'a Isle until In tha fifth anttrry there waa
oarcely a peaamnfs hut without on. Harpers b.

for them In th home of th aristocrats, where many
found permanent berth. Numbers r wk.

LO.VO BRACH. Cat., March IS.-To th
Editor of Th Pee: I wish to thank you
sincerely for the prominence you gsv
my telegram In your paper. And I want
to call your attention to th erroneou
statement of your city milk Inanector In
an article of your lasue of February .
which ha bean sent me. H clalma that
th death rat In New Tork City. In
pit of pasteurisation, was In ISIS 11T
per thousand.
The true figures as recorded by th
health department for 1M4 were ttl. (191
haa not bean officially published yet).
When I began to supply pasteurised
milk In New Tork City In lfttt. th death
rate for th year was M.S. Tou can judgs
by tha enrtoaed folder, which It a copy
of th New Tork health department
statistics, how th death rat fell from
year to year.
This mistake of your city milk Inspec
tor puts pasteurisation In a bad light
Th obatacle to my propaganda hav
usually com from auch quarter, and
no matter how sincerely made, they
cause no end of misunderstanding. I must
reiterate what I have said before, that
Inapeotion, no matter how well and care
fully conducted, will not protect th
public from Infected milk. Th proximity
or distance of the source of supply Is a
negligible point.
I enclose you copy of case on record
by eminent scientist which proves with
out further explanation tha fallacy of
milk inspection. It would necessitate a
dally Inspection not only of cows, stables
and dairies, but mainly of th milker,
any you must acre that that Is Impos
sible. It la very dlseoursgtng to hav such an
Important matter discredited by any on
who has not made th study that it de
serves, in addition to my personal ex
perience of twenty-fiv years, our gov
ernment hygienic laboratory In Wash
ington, haa. by axtensiv experiment
scientifically sustained and verified every
claim I make for the necessity and merit
of pasteurisation.
I am on, my vacation her trying to
lead a quiet life, but If there I anything
I can add to thla explanation I will cheer
fully do so, a it I cf th highest Im
portance that th public know th seri
ous dsnger which lurks In raw milk.

to know that there waa sent on March 1.

sentative from Nebraska, reading aa fol

opposed to war and believe congress

Thla telegram waa signed by 339 repre

of them could be deemed to hav any

all of them being aa patriotic American

can be. From Lincoln a similar telegram
waa sent, signed by 90S people.
It would really be of Interest to know
whether "J. B. H." considers that the
honor and self-respect cf th United
