Ea Day and Its Purpose.
President Wilson's proclamation designating
June 14 as Flag day deserves the thoughtful pe
rusal and careful consideration of every American
citizen. Strange sounds have been heard in Amer
ica during the last year, and some novel doctrine
has been preached. No danger of our country's
being wrenched from its foundation exists, but its
security will be more firmly established if a bet
ter and sounder judgment prevails as to its des
tiny. This judgment will be fostered better by a
fuller comprehension of what the Stars and
Stripes stands for. It is first of all an emblem of
liberty, and that liberty in its best sense contains
within itself responsibility, that can not be shirked.
It implies self-control, a decent regard for the
rights and views of others, and of necessity a wil
lingness to aid at all times in the proper defense
of free institutions. Unanimity of opinion is not
to be expected, but a concert of purpose is pos
sible, and to that end all good Americans must
always direct their hopes and their efforts. And
that end is best represented by the flug of our
country.
Nebraska's Budget for 1919.
Let us keep the record straight. The World
Herald, in its zeal to defend a democratic admin
istration of state affairs that has muddled its fi
nances, if it has don nothing else, challenges the
statement that the appropriations made by the
democrats in the legislature of 1915 were the
greatest in the history of the state. Auditor
Smith's records are the best answer to that. In
the compilation made by the state auditor at the
close of the legislative session, which comprises
every item appropriated, he gives the total ap
propriations for 1915, "all items actual and esti
mated," as $9,169,314.32. For 1913 he gives the
total of appropriations as $8,415,077.73, or $750,000
less than was appropriated in 1915. By a special
process of deductions, such as subtracting the
levy for the support of the normal schools and
the State university, the levy for the campus ex
tension and new building for the State university,
the cash balances and the fees collected by the
several state departments, the democrats have re
duced the actual figures to a point on which they
can pre'end they made a saving. The fact re
mains, though, that the total appropriations made
by the legislature of 1915 comprehended the ex
penditure of more money than was ever before
set aside for birnniuni in Nebraska,
Rivers and Harbors and "Pork."
The senate has just passed the rivers and har
bors appropriation bill, carrying $43,000,000, of
which $20,000,000 is said to be useless expendi
ture. The customary filibuster failed to reduce
the amount, and amendments that might have
been of service were killed at the last minute, and
the bill went through the senate practically as it
came from the house. This bill is the subject
of more criticism than any of the big appropria
tion measures, as it is supposed to carry the
"pork," a modern euphemism for graft in the form
of unnecessary expenditure to aid some mem
ber's political chances. It is decidedly unfortu
nate that so important a part of the work of the
government as the maintenance of its waterways
should be involved with the scandal that at
taches to the rivers and harbors appropriation,
but there is a way in which the situation can be
cleared up. Under our form of government a
continuing program is not possible, for one con
gress can not take action binding another. It is
possible to create a board that shall have charge
of the work of improving the waterways of the
United States, and which may be able to give to
congress definite information as to the necessity
of the items that go into the appropriation bill.
This board's decision need not be final, but it
would be of great value, When the work is taken
up systematically, and on a definite campaign,
then the "pork" feature will very soon disappear.
Xaiser Rides on Tramcar.
One of the episodes of the war of interest as
a side light on the main event, is that Emperor
William of Germany has had his first ride on a
street car. Moreover, he paid his fare the same as
a private citizen. This may not seem much to
the American sovereign, who rides daily on the
street car, hangs to his strap and takes no credit
to himself for doing so. That the Hoheiuollern
should do so is entirely a different matter, and
properly so. As a man he may long for the privi
leges his subjects enjoy; as emperor, and conse
quently the embodiment and personification of
the dignity and importance of the German people,
their genius and their destiny, he is debarred from
the simple joys of life, other than he may have
in the sacred inner circle of his home. There
fore, when the kaiser rides on a tramcar, it has
the nature of the empire taking the trip. It is
certainly significant of the leveling effect of the
war in Germany, but it will hardly serve as proof
of democratiiation that will endure.
Military and the Law,
To show the world that Xew Yoik's pre
paredness carries more substance than a parade,
10,0(10 tnembets of the state National Guard
mobilired on Sheepshead Hay speedway, last
Sunday. All the equipment of active servue, from
band to hig guns, were brought togrthrr lor
prat lull work on a war basis. Just as bush's
were about to blow and the guns pop in s!im
haltle a lone invader panoplied as a nmnty
ottuiat appeared and read to the officers a ei
tioir ot the uioly blue lasss, vintage of
prohibiting 4 l ath desecration. The Guards sa
luted the nuiritv of the law, and contented them,
selves with noiseless evolutions.

Laying Traps for Hughes
"New York lot.
A FAVORITE amusement, these days, with
some newspapers and many politicians,
too clever by half, is spreading snares for
Judge Hughes. They are having great fun de
vising little tricks to catch him. They try one
artful plan after another to "smoke him out."
As each fails, they bring out another. This one
must work. How can he keep silent when we
have amassed evidence to show that he is in
the pay of the kaiser? How can he refuse to
say anything when all the world beside is gar
rulous? The latest demand upon biin to speak
or die was made at Oyster Bay. In his finest
Joseph Surface manner, the colonel declared
that "a man who" at a time like this did not
vociferously endorse Americanism, in the sole
keeping of Roosevelt, must be against it. That, it
was said with chuckles, will surely fetch the
judge. But it didn't; and so the merry work of
laying traps for Hughes goes on. The petty
methods of the courtiers of Lilliput are outdone.
It would be well for these crafty gentlemen
to strive to enlarge their minds so as to grasp
one or two facts that are fundamental in all this
matter. They ought to try to conceive of a man
who is not burning with ambition to become
president. A consistent theory of Mr. Hughes'
bearing, so far, would be that he is disposed
neither to seek the presidency certainly not by
any kind of political artifice nor to refuse it
if the offer of a nomination conies in the way
which he has made up his mind would be a call
to public duty. It is conceivable that he has
marked out for himself a course of conduct
which, in any event, will leave his judicial dig
nity and his personal motives beyond challenge.
If his party makes a serious and united demand
for his services, without any expressed wish on
his part surely without any wire-pulling by
him -he will doubtless yield to it. But if Chi
cago witnesses a wild scramble in the conven
tion, with politicians pulling and hauling and
fighting and bargaining, it is quite possible that
Mr. Hughes will send the word winch Charles
Francis Adams sent to the liberal republicans
at Cincinnati in 1872; "Take my name out of
that galley."
Either way, and whether Judge Hughes de
cides to make a public utterance before the
convention or not, ft is absurd to suppose that
all these "tricking facilities" of politicians and
newspapers opposed to him arc going to em
barrass him or sway his action. People in New
York have seen traps laid for Charles Hughes
before. Nor can they have forgotten how he
smashed the whole lot. In 1906, Hearst and
his astute advisers 'were going to have such a
jolly time with the corporation lawyer unversed
in the wiles of politics. But the assailants
speedily became the assailed. In the language
of the Tennessee mountaineer, Hearst was "the
mightiest hunter that ever ye see, till thet thar
catamount tuk arter me," And again in 1908,
some of the smartest heads in the democratic
party drew up a set of supposeolv unanswerable
questions which they got poor Mr. Chauler to
put to Hughes. Hughes -answered every one
tnstanter, and then in turn asked Chanlcr some
questions which that unlucky candidate dared
not even attempt to answer to the last day of
the campaign. And if any Philistines think that
Samson has forgotten how to burst the withes
with which they seek to bind h'tn, they are apt
to learn something in the next few weeks very
much to their disadvantage.
There are various ways in which Mr, Hughes
may let his position be known. He may elect
to delay until the republican platform is written.
The question then might fairly be put to him
whether he would be content to stand on it.
And if the document proves to be that strong
affirmation of national belief and duty which it
is predicted that it will be, Hughes' acceptance
of it would at once put an end to all the sly
insinuations about his attitude which are now
peddled around. Or, Mr. Hughes may think
it right to take some step to let his views be
known before the convention meets. He did
this in 1908. He then said, in his speech to the
Republican club, that whenever it became a
duty to speak, "I have no desire to remain si
lent. Nor should I in any event care to pre
serve availability at the expense of candor."
The fact that Hughes is now a judge of the
supreme; court may justify him in feeling that
what he did as governor he ought not to do
now. But one thing is certain: If the time
comes, soon or late, when he thinks it incum
bent on him to speak out, it will be found that
he has not lost his swingeing stroke. And all
the nets and webs which are now being laid to
entrap him he will cut away "with one sweep of
his word.
Nebraska Press Comment
Plattsmouth Journal: The old Omaha gang of
democrats are going to try to beat their way
into the legislature this fall. The trouble is the
people in Omaha do not take the time to investi
gate the records of their legislative candidates,
or at least one-half of the gang would remain
at home.
Tekamah Herald: The Omaha Bee is cer
tainly giving sufficient publicity to the wild-cat
banking methods practiced bv Cashier Elliott of
the banners' State bank of Decatur, which was
recently closed. If the state banking law can
not be enforced, the public should know the
reason why.
Gering Courier: The World-Herald made a
"11011 partisan" appeal for Andy Morrisscy (or
supreme judge, brcause he i a slcmocrat. There
are many republican papers who nuke a similar
appeal for lawcfll, because be is a republican,
'that's a game with two sides, but irrespective

North Platte. Neb.. May 29. To the
Kditor of The Bee: To gnt world's peai-e
sie must first remove the cause of world
sur. Republics and democracies only to to
war for lf-preervatmn. With the great
est measure of respect for the German peo
ple and the important factor they have been
and now are In the affairs of this govern
ment, the democracy of this republic can
not have any rtood regard for the German
empire. There Is no more Important factor
In this country than the German element
that has taken the benefits of its citlwn
ahip. The war in Europe was started hy
the Roman Catholic state of Austria forcing
Ha religious domination upon the Greek
catholics of Serbia. Russia could not al
low her Greek catholic brethren to be
crushed by a Romanist, While Russia was
mobilizing her army, Germany, already
mobillied. made en effort to rrush Krenee
before l.nglsnd and Russia could mohillte.
Now, mark you, the Imperialists of
Europe, religious, economic and political,
have a combination to destroy the riwlng
sentiment of democracy In Europe. This
sentiment is not alone European; it In
cludes the United Mates and is working
In Mexico. The prime factors in this move
ment are religion and finance; religion to
control the common people mentally and
compel them to fight for their masters and
finance comes in to supply and exchange
the sinews of war. We now have the
combination of religion and finance, the re
sult of which Is power, power to perpetuate
Itself for Itself. In this strife between na
tions, no distinction is made between re
ligions. The people are driven like hogs
to the slaughter pen black and white to
gether. To talk of stopping war and at
the seme time promoting the causes that
make wer Is like curing a man of delirium
tremens by pouring more whiskejr into him,
A nation-wide prayer by preachers to stop
war while the preachers themselves live off
the system thet makes war Is enough ts
make a brass monkey smile. As long as
there is contention between good and evil
I which la a mere matter of opinion) there
will be war. The best remedy for wer is
for everyone to attend to their own busi
ness end allow other people to attend to
theirs.
Wilson's and Bryan's peace policy Is an
other conundrum the biggest navy In the
world to enforce peace. Make England stop
opening our malls I Stop Germany from
sinking our ships) We have Just spent sixty
days with 10,000 soldiers In Mexico hunting
for one incorrigible and came home without
him. Do we want to increase the army,
to Increase that experiment T Or, do we
went to Increase It to shoot the incorrigible
who refuse to Join the army anyway T Make
this a "government of the people, by the
people and for the people," end the people
will take care of the government. Send
political acrobats, mountebanks and im
beciles with the mouth organa to the rear.
Jt matters not what may be the result of
these pending political conventions, their
platforms or nominations; the people have
no part In them, but the people ran control
their congressmen, and, through them, con
trol their government. "This constitution
and the laws made by Congress in pursu
ance thereof shall be the supreme law of
the land," Do you mind that, you farmers?
The average blacksmith and woodch.pper
has more eense then the average congress
men. Congressmen are sent there by the
system, to be moved around like pawns on
a checkerboard in the interests of the sys
tem. Get wise you farmers and black
smiths and go to congress yourselves, If
you have to go on foot.
LlCIEN STEBBINS.
Advice for Democrats.
York. Neb., May 27. To the Editor of
The Bee: In the World-Herald of May 27
there was an article under the caption,
"Advice for Democrats." TJiat contains
some fine misinformation for democrats
or others without memory, for a good dem
ocrat and a good memory are generally a
long ways apart. Had the writer changed
the party name the other way around, he
would heve said something that could be
found in the records. But he seld some
thing else. He la proud of "the democratic
state government which has been put upon
an efficiency basis, and accumulated mill
ions of dollars as rainy day fund," and
sees no reason why they should vote their
own party out, "and to back to the re
publican plundarlsms of years (one by."
Then he says, "But there were certain men,
elected to serve the people aa republicans,
who had free access to the public till, and
as a consequence some went at it a little
too strong and hsd to serve time. That
is a sample of state government under
republican rule."
Now Mr. Kellman fell down hard in that
statement (or misstatement, which it is) and
whether he did It not knowing any better,
or with malice aforethought, we will leave
to him to decide, for he picks out the few
rare cases in which those charged with
public trust betrayed their friends and then
says, "That Is a sample of state govern
ment under republican rule." While it is
only the exception to the rule, all posted
people know it as a feet.
Then let us run back a few years and
take a hasty Inventory. We have not the
space at our command to give all the
data, but just the statements only, which
cn be proven by the state's old hooks.
When the new settlers In the western part
of the state were in reel need ef help, the
state Issued warrants to the amount of
about SL'00,000 to furnish feed and seed
to those who otherwise would have suf
fered. The cry went up from the ene
mies' camp, "Turn the rascals out" for
running the state In debt. Ho they turned
them out and put this efficiency bunch in,
and then repeated the dose four times,
making ten years of efficiency t ?l govern
ment, during which time all the slate in
stitutions except one hsd trouble with its
management and several had scandals, and
Mime repeated It.
Then the powers that be lor tbst wan

maintenance of the efficiency regime and
