ROBERT HUNTER, Notary Public,
Subscribers leaving the city temporarily
should havt the Bee mailed to them. Ad
dress will be changed at often at requested.
Pretty soon there'll be a demand for a safe
and sane Memorial day, too.
You must admit, though, that the ttsge man
agement for the colonel is au fait.
Maybe the senator will let go of that post
office appointment after the St. Louis convention.
Omaha will be glad to sre Mr. Calvin again,
and hopes that he will bring a new depot with
him.
Somebody can help the democrat! out of a
dilemma by suggesting a way to increase the rev
enue without increasing taxes.
After all is said and done, the process of sav
ing the country cannot be guaranteed unless Ne
braska' favorite sons for vice president are con
scripted as assistant engineers.
Reports indicate that the reorganized Serbian
army will soon get in touch with the Bulgars on
the plains of Macedonia. In that event the Mace
donian cry of old will be as a whisper to a fog
horn. .,, .! wsj unkind of someone to remind our good
friend (by ptrniit.ioti) Edgar Howard that both
Dan Stephens and the- senator were elected be
cause of him. The scoffer might have said in
spite of.
A million-dollar raise in the valuation of the
railroads in Nebraska doesn't mean much, but it
will be a mighty good excuse for the democrat
when they begin to explain high tax rates to the
farmers next fall.
Now the complaint comes from West Virginia
that election rolls in democratic districts are en
cumbered with the names of dogs, mules, and
dead and gone voters. Well, the party has to get
votes somewhere.
British authorities continue pressing home the
mobilization of American securities held by the
country's investors. These precious holdings not
only fortify exchange rates, but also provide
hangars for launching silver bullets later on.
With Serbs and Anglo-French troops on one
section of Greece and Bulgars and Teutons on
the other, and closing in for death grips, the Gre
cian government steadily nears an inglorious po
rtion "between the devil and the deep sea."
One of the tasks put up to women a part
pf "clean up America" campaign, is to diveM
politics of graft. The author of the job evi
dently thinks American women love lite-long en
gagements. He i entitled to another guess.
The upset price for the Western Pacific rail
road is fwed by the court at $18,lM)Q,()0O. Any
person obsessed with the idea that railroads are
not run as they should be may come across with
the money and show railroad back-numbers

This Day in Omaha

What the Flag Stands For.
The school teacher who told her class that the
flag is "but a piece of bunting," and explained
that she meant in relation to human life, made a
serious mistake. Human life is sacred, but to be
of savor it must be of service; mere existence is
not living. To eagerly enjoy the pleasures of life
and shirk its responsibilities is not living. Even
if it were so, to have those pleasures and to be
permitted to enjoy them, human lives must blend
into something intangible but possessed of force
and vitality. That something is government. In
the United States this government is "of the peo
ple, by the people, and for the people." To main
tain it requires the constant care of the people all
the time, and a devotion to it that knows no limit.
War is terrible in any of its manifestations,
but there are things worse than war. Life devoid
of liberty, even though existence be softened by
luxuries and comforts, loses its value. It has no
fuller meaning than the life of a pampered pet.
Our government gives us liberty, freedom of
speech, of thought and action, and preserves us
safe in the exercise of that liberty. And the flag
is the emblem of that government.
This teacher should revise her philosophy. Our
flag doe not represent war, or force, but stands
for the most perfect form of government yet
known to man. It may be of silk, or of bunting,
or of cotton, or printed on paper, it matters not
the substance of which it ia composed; the flag of
the United States stands for great ideas, great
principles, involving and supporting human free
dom in all its aspects. And this idea is more
precious than many lives, for it is the life of all
the race.
School teachers, bove all other citizens,
should know what the American flag stands for.
Waiting- for President Calvin.
When President Calvin of the Union Pacific
comes to Omaha to take up his duties, he will
find one very important question waiting for him.
It is the new union depot.
Omaha has outgrown its present depot facili
ties. Especially lacking in all the essentials of a
great terminal station is the plant used by the
Union Pacific and its connecting lines. This is
so clear to all that argument on the point is need
less. In the ordinary course of events, the rail
roads must expand their station accommodations
in Omaha in order that they may properly care
for a traffic that is continually increasing.
The Union Pacific, as landlord for the Iowa
roads that cross its bridge, is primarily respon
sible for the condition that exists, and should lead
off in any move for improvement. The other
great lines centering in Omaha will not long
demur at the project, if the Overland takes the
initiative. Mr. Calvin can well afford to inaugu
rate his administration by the announcement of
definite plans for the construction of a passenger
station in Omaha that is in keeping with the
city's importance and dignity.
Carranza Again Makes Appeal.
Secretary Lansing is in receipt of another note
from the de-facto government of Mexico, asking
that a definite time be fixed for the withdrawal
of United States troops from Mexican territory,
This may be interpreted as meaning the political
pressure on Carranza is getting too strong for
him. It is not possible that he can mistake the
real meaning of the presence of American troops
in Mexico. It is not that the United States has
any sinister designs, it does not portend war, but
it does mean that outlawry and disorder will be
less of a menace to our border so long as our
army is in control on the Mexican side. The
United States government and not Carranza will
determine when order has been sufficiently estab
lished to justify the withdrawal of the expedi
tionary forces. If anything to this end has been
accomplished, none cf the credit is due to the
effort or the attitude of the de facto Mexican
government. Whatever may have been the rela
tions between our president and the "first chief,
Mr. Wilson cannot afford to risk a renewal of
border disturbances merely for the sake of saving
Carranza' face with his petulant countrymen.
Beet Seeds from Russia.
From the west coast comes the new s that car
goes of sugar beet seed from Russia are arriving
by way of Vladivostok, establishing a new trade
route as well as renewing the supply of this seed
which is almost exclusively used in the west.
Hitherto we have depended largely on Germany
and France for sugar beet seed, but Russia has
contributed some, although the route has been
across the Atlantic rather than the Pacific. This
w ill not be the only change in trade routes occa
sioned by the European upheaval, Nebraska is
still greatly interested in the sugar induMry, for
many acres in the west erd of the state are given
over to the production of sugar beets, and the
crop in rapidly becoming one of the moot profit
able. The crop last season returned millions of
dollars to the farmers tributary to the big mill at
Scott's IMutT. and the erection of a new null there
this season is proof that still more sugar brrts
are t be grown. Nebraska's contribution to the
titod Mipply of the world is continually snreiiuig

C'ongreeiiUinnl Record.
I am opposed to contributing $50,000,000 from
the treasury of the United States to buy inflated
priced ships for the government. By the way,
that is impossible at this time, as there is less
than that sum in the treasury of clear legal ten
der money. I am equally opposed to mortgaging
the future by sale of Panama bonds, placing a
burden upon our children of $50,000,000 for them
to pay for ships to be purchased now at the high
est price ships have ever brought, not only in the
history of the United States, but in the history of
the world since Commodore Noah started out
with his water craft and the scoffers of that day
looked around, Saw the gathering flood, and then
asked him to name his price for a ship. (Laugh
ter). "Yet the inspiring genius of this legislation,
still active in its support, no doubt will find a
way to go into the market and purchase ships at
whatever price necessary to obtain them, and
place that burden upon our children. They prob
ably will, God bless them, forgive us for it, but
they will have a sublime contempt for our busi
ness judgment in investing at this time. The
western man who bought water in a dry season
to hold for use when the floods came had nothing
on the financial genius who conceived this leg
islative enterprise.
"I object to the investment for, a larger rea
son, and that is the reason unveiled by the
speaker of the house in his address yesterday,
unveiled with that frankness which compels us
all to love and admire him.
"Gentlemen will recall that the first bill pre
sented in this house for this legislation, two or
more years ago, stated clearly that it was to build
tip our South American trade. That appeared
also in the committee reports to the house and
senate. Hut now the purpose un until yesterday
and today was, if not veiled and concealed, was
kept ably secluded. Because while I have al
ways understood that the main purpose was to
build up this South American trade, nothing in
the bill, committee report, or responsible speech
emphasized that fact till the speaker declared the
South American trade as the larger end to be
served by passage of this bill.
"I have no objection to building up trade with
South America, with Kurope, or with any of the
continents of the earth, but I do not desire that
trade shall be built up with South America at the
expense of the American treasury so as to give a
special discrimination against the people whom I
represent and those living in that part of the
country whence 1 come.
"The following is a portion of an editorial
taken from the Wallace Farmer, one of the great
est farm journals in the world. I knew well its
able and venerable founder in his lifetime. The
last time I met him we discussed the adverse line
of legislation begun and carried out in congress
against the men and women of the northwest
and the industries through which they were mak
ing that section the best and most useful part of
the world reciprocity, so-called farmers' free list,
Underwood tariff law, and now thia government
owned shipping bill, with the South American
trade as its objective;
"But if we should be able to secure a large there of the
South American trade, what effect will It have on the agri
culture of the United HtatesT What will it mean to the
corn-belt farmer, who has been furnishing most of the corn
consumed in the United State, and in tome year ha
been exporting T What will It mean to the wheat grower
in the United States T What will it mean to the live
stock grower and feeder, not only in the corn belt, but in
the west?
"If we should establiiih a line of merchant vessels for
the South American trade, either by government subsidy
or through government ownemhip, theae vessels would
take down there the products of our manufacturing en
terprise. What will South America sell to u in return
for what they buy from usT Naturally they will eipect
us to take their agricultural products, their corn and their
mall grains, their cattle, sheep and hides. What effect
will that have on the agriculture of the west? If we ex
pect South American people to buy from us, we must be
willing to buy from them and we must buy what they
have to sell.
"For a generation the farmer of this country utaind
a high protective tariff on manufactured products, and
during that period they were given a high protective tariff
on agricultural products. Few of them realised that thia
tariff on agricultural producta was absolutely worthless
to them, because we had a surplus of agricultural products
which we were selling at prices with which no other
country could compete. When, a few year ago, prices
of grain and live stock reached a point at which other
countries could compete, what happened to us? The
paper tariff, which had been of no value up to that time,
was very promptly taken off a soon as It became worth
something, and we are not likely to get It back If the
efforts to establish relations with 8outn America are
successful.
"The price of corn, for example, is governed very
largely by the surplus which we have to sell; not neceii
sarily the suiplus which goes out of the country, but the
urplus which go out of the country in which it was
grown. Thi amount to not more than 20 per cent of
the total crop. Speaking roughly, the price is fixed by a
surplus of, say, 600,000,1100 bushels. The Argentine sur
plus of corn is in the neighborhood of 170,000,000 bushel,
or about one-third of our eurplus. Now, if the price is
lixed by our surplus of 100, 000,000 hunheln. what will
happen if w add to that surplus 170,000,000 bushels from
Argentina? We can nut say definitely, but we would
estimate the effect to be a reduction of not less than S
cents a buihel probably more. What effect will this
have on the price of our land, remembering that this
S cents Is taken out of the profit of the farmer?
"Not alone the farmers, but all of the citisens of the
west should cunnider this situation. No one can foresee
now jut what el fed this war and its termination will
have upon the United Stales; but when we cunaitier that
the prosperity of the weet depends upon the prosperity of
its agriculture, it seems high time that we should take
mile of the probable developmenu that may very injur
iously aftect us.
"It seems to us the time has cume for the people of
the esl lu coneider whether they ehould nut send le
congree men who will represent the weat and It Inter
eete, rather than men who will represent this psrty ur
that party,"

MIRTHFUL REMARKS.
Washington Post: The best way in
which some men can show their respect for
the national hymn it never to try to yodel
It.
Pittsburg Dispatch: When you reflect
that putting the clock ahead for more day
light means going to bed in the warm hours
of the evening and getting up when it is
coolest to sleep, it does not seem so at
tractive. Brooklyn Ksgle: Mr. I.loyd-George ia a
Celt and ought by that fact to be so much
the better equipped to meet the delicate
problems of Irmh reconciliation. If he were
an Irish Celt It might he quite the con
trary, paradoxical at it may seem.
Philadelphia Ledger: The bird of peace

EARLY BIRDS.
Oh. Robin, wtth your breast of red,
Say, did you set your clock ahead
That you are up so early;
Your piping penetrates my dream
Aa also do the first sunbeame
And this might make me surly;
But somehow echoes of your glee
Rebound somewhere Inside of me
And I am glad aa glad can be
To be aroused so early.
Oh, Red-head, drumming at my roof
Agalnet your tape my dream aren't proof,
But they do not distress me;
Although my dreams are rent In two
I would not hurl my enap at you,
No euch dealres pos seta me;
For I am glad to be awaka
When all the birds sweet muelo make,
Long e'er It a time to dress me.
Oh, Bluetay, I have heard you scream
At morning when the first gold beam
Came stealing to my garret;
But I've never longed to cast my shoe
Or Ink or comb or brush at you
I never did, I swear It;
For when you 'waken me I hesr
The gross-beak and the bluebird near;
And if I'm feeling out of gear
Their glad songa help me bear It.
V
Oh, Wood-Thrueh, In dreama I hear
At dawn your notes resounding cieer,
Hut this fact does not grieve me;
I simply cannot feel Irate
When my beauty aleep you perforates
I never could, believe me!
For In my dreams I follow far.
Where the beauties that you sing of ars
And their memories never leave me.
