Pledged to the Budget System.
One plank in the republican platform will
draw steadily increasing attention as its impor
tance comes to be better understood. It is the
pledge of the party to adopt the budget system
for the business administration of the affairs of
the country. Aside from the very vital consider!
tion of economy that can be secured only through
this means, the budget system has other attractive
features which must commend it, to all who are
familiar with national affairs. Under the present
method no continuing program is possible, for
the reason that all appropriations must originate
in the house of representatives, and no congress
can take action binding its successor. This means
that great public works of any kind must be
wholly provided for by the .congress with which
they are begun or be subject to possibility of
changes) by subsequent sessions. That this method
leads inevitably to delays,, to extravagance and to
inefficiency the experience of the government has
many times proved.
A budget can be made continuing, and under
its operation provision for carrying on definite
programs for construction and improvements are
possible. Such a system wilt do away with the
perennial farce of the rivers and harbors bill, the
'public buildings bill, and other measures to which
attaches the taint of "pork," and will also permit
a definite policy for expenditure in connection
with national defense. Administration of the
business affairs of government will be given more
the aspect of business and less of politics, for the
very good reason that politics of the peanut vari
ety will cut less figure in the big appropriation
measures. ,
The plan is not urged as a novelty at this
time. It was seriously proposed by the, last re
publican administration, and rejected by the demo.
crats, who controlled the house, as subversive of
their constitutional prerogative. But the budget
Is business and will prevail.
The Battle of the "Bills."
Nebraska's unterrified at St. Louis gave
the nation an impressive illustration of the peace
and harmony prevailing in democratic councils
hereabouts. "Bill" Price and-"Bill" Thompson
locked horns in a struggle to the death for a place
on the platform committee, continuing the row
that has been present since first "Bill" Bryan
dawned on the sky of Nebraska politics. "Bill'
Oldham also figured in the rumpus as an active
participant- That it was finally ended by giving
the job to Judge Thomas, who didn't get to he dis
trict attorney for Nebraska, isn't going to heal
the breach. It doesn't matter much, for neither
side is willing to give up. Only the lust for of
fice ever brings them together. The split will
not be closed this time, for Mr. Bryan will not
let it, and the state candidates now look disconso
lately to November, when they will reap the har
vest that is sown at the Battle of .the "Bills."
"Watchful Waiting" Coming, to an End.
Washington authorities are plainly disturbed
over the turn taken in the affairs of Mexico.
Carranza has convinced even his great and good
friend, Mr. Wilson, of his insincerity and incapac
ity, and so ends the chapter of "Watchful Wait
ing" that may properly be captjorled "Miserable
Meddling." What the next chapter wilt be can
only be surmised, but the situation is one that
leaves little room for guess work. The point is
near at hand where President Wilson will have to
supplement his admonitions with something de
cidedly more effective than words, no matter
how brave they be, or to finally act on the advice
he has given his countrymen, and let the Mexi
cans settle the matter among themselves. This
latter course, unfortunately, is fraught with much
danger, the Mexicans having little respect for the
fordable river, on this side of which lies much
to tempt them into violation of a neutrality that
means nothing to them. All of which forces the
conclusion that a more dignified and definite at
titude must be taken by our government towards
Mexico, and very shortly. t.
Republicans Did Hot Forget Veterans..
Democrats, groping around for something in
the republican platform to object to, say the re
publicans' have forgotten the veteran soldiers of
the country. No man who ever wore the blue or
the khaki wilt believe this. The republicans have
ever been the friend of the soldier, His pension
comes to him from the government as his due,
and under laws enacted by the republicans over
democratic objection, It is not required that the
republican party specifically declare its intention
to regard the laws made in pursuit of its policy.
So far as is recorded, no republican has yet re
ferred to the Grand Army of the Republic as a
"grand army of beggars," or expressed consola
tion in the thought that soon all the veterans
would be dead and the pension roll would disap
pear. Democrats who are sincerely desirous of
their party's , success will avoid reference to its
record on pensions.
Hope Deferred for Gotham.
It goes without saying that many people here
abouts will be interested in the announcement
just made in New York that the "Billy" Sunday
campaign, which was scheduled for Gotham for
January 1, next, to cover a period of three or
lour months, is ended insofar as the 1917 cam
paign is concerned. The explanation is made that
inability to acquire a suitable site on which to
build a tabernacle is the stumbling block and that,
notwithstanding the availability of several large
permanent meeting halls there, "Billy's" ultima
tum is that he will not come unless a tabernacle
of his own design is built for him. , That means,
of course, that Gotham will be permitted to wal
low in its wickedness for at least another year
or two, and that sin-seeking inhabitants of places
already saved by Sunday may continue to make
New York their objective point. All we can say
is that we feel mighty sorry for the poor New
Yorkers who must curb their eagerness for trail
hitting and risk answering the final summons be
fore "Billy" brings them salvation. Incidentally,
we feel sorry for the New York newspapers thus
wantonly deprived of an unfailing ' source of
stirring news and entertaining features which
the "Billy" Sunday engagement would have fur
nished them for the entire period of the revival.
, , A woeful lack of unity obtains in the medical
profession. One of the few fundamentals which
doctors revere is assailed is a back number
method of impressing the lay world. It is diffi
cult at this moment to diagnose the nerve of the
Illinois medical professor who denounces the use
of Latin In writing prescriptions aa a humbug.
Moreover, the professor charges that Latin names
sell common drugs at fancy prices, which enriches
the druggist more than the doctors." If there is
no gain why not cut out the Latin and write plain
United States? Drug consumers offer no objec
tion, y ,
Meeting With Kitchener
By aa Amarlcaa Officer.
THE first week in January, 1906, I joined the
entourage of him who was then prince of
Wales, now King George V, in Bombay
as the , traveling correspondent for Collier's
Weekly. I had just come, via Borneo, from the
Philippines, where I had been for several weeks
the guest of General Leonard Wood during his
suppression of Dato Ali's MorO uprising in
Mindanao. . My chief purpose in the trip to India
was to have a good talk with Lord Kitchener,
then commander-in-chief of the Indian army.
I could claim no originality for such a purpose,
as a similar one has doubtless animated every
war correspondent who has come within reach
of him during the last thirty years. And as most
of them have failed, my hopes were not par
ticularly high. However, fortune, and the fact
that the country was not in a state of war, fa
vored me.
At Simla the commander-in-chief met the
prince of Wales, and I got my first view of him
at a distance. I stood just outside the marquee
under which the prince and princess were re
ceiving. Kitchener stood immediately behind the
prince. I bore in mind all the time what Fred
eric Villiers had said to me: "Remember when
you sec him that he is the most British thing
that ever lived; more so than the abbey or the
tower, or Wellington or Nelson. No other Ene
lishman was ever so universal. And perhaps
that is because he is Irish-French. The only
word to express him is a German one unend-
uchkeit.
That night I jotted down my first impressions
in the following words: "A mighty head sur
mounts eyes reflecting deep passion. He wears
an eight and a half hat. They say he is unemo
tional, out me tace tens a ainerent story; it is
flogged with the exorcism of terrific travail.
They say he is speechless, but there must be
great driving force for such an awful engine;
you can look into the power house through his
eyes. One is glazed; looks like glass; evidently
paralyzed Dy the Hundub bullet. 1 his gives an
odd effect, as though it were looking through
space, with seer-like vision. The other searches
everything to the core. These mismatched eyes
have a queer effect on evervbodv: thev 'Bet vour
goat.' They're like Roosevelt's teeth; the ab
normality hypnotizes you; your mental concen
tration goes for the moment and the owner holds
you at a temporary disadvantage. He is a bit
paunchy; lower jaw not as firm as I expected.
Looks as if India was 'getting' him; he has
licked Curzon, but how about the climate? An
noyed at the flub-dub of a reception; stands like
a big mastiff in a nurserv: afraid tn move' for
fear of smashing the toys. Glad I didn't speak
to him today; looked as if he'd like to have or
dered someone shot before sunrise.
A week later the prince traveled to Madras.
The day after he left I sent word to the captain
in Fort William that I contemplated leaving
Calcutta within forty-eight hours, and that aft
ernoon received a return word that if I would
call at 9 the following morninar Lord Kitchener
would see me.
Five minutes before the hour I was in the
captain's office and precisely at 9 was ushered
into the apartments of the "British Empire, (Ex
hibit No. 1."
Instead of being reoellinu or sniff. Kitrhmrr
made exactly the opposite impression on me.
He seemed like an old shoe verv easv to trel
along with. My preconceived notion of an in
human monster, a sort of Gorgon who ate a
newspaper man or two every morning before
breakfast, rapidly dissipated. He seemed more
like a country squire with pipe and slippers, who
never knew very well how to talk and was afraid
to trust himself to speech, but who was a prince
of courtesy, and with all the time in the world
at his disposal.
Out of the mass of notes I made that, nicrht
of all the things Kitchener said, I cull the fol
lowing, as being of pertinent interest, after the
lapse of ten years, and now that he is ernne
forever:
"What will you do." I asked, "now that Roose
velt and the czar have declared universal peace?"
"We will always need and we will always
have soldiers," he replied. "They are absolutely
essential in the highest civilization. Without
the military spirit nations decav. The basis of
all sound government is the military spirit. As
iv, iimuauuii, vuiiiuiciliai, diiu economic uie,
I would say that nothing in it can endure without
the military spirit."
You mean discipline, method, seniority?"
"No. Discipline has iust the same relation
to military spirit that the uniform has to a man.
It's a supporter, a set-off; that's all. Perhaps I
should say the fighting snirit is what I mean.
Without the fighting spirit a nation or a man
ia rot.
"In America you seem to have this fighting
spirit without the military. In industry, in com
merce, pn the football field, in politics every
where you seem to be fighting, fighting, every
where, all the time, something, everything. And
you seem to get along well without the military.
i presume tnat tnis national fighting spirit
accounts for the fact that the military doesn't
stand as high with you as with us. We need
it more. Take a young man in England born
to money, and usually his highest ambition is
to keep it, have a good time, and preserve his
reputation. In America, if a man is born. av
to twelve millions, he'll stake it all on a throw
to make it nothing or twenty-four millions; not
gambling, but in legitimate enterprises, in pro
gress, in ngnung industrially, commercially.
He is not content with what his father left him.
He wants to do something for himself."
As Kitchener, at that time, had never hn
in America, I asked him how he had managed
to become so well acquainted with what he liked
to believe were our chief characteristics.
I ve been watching you, said he. "I had
Americans in the Soudan. I used to buy loco
motives and steel trusses of them also of Eng
lishmen. The English would send out the etnfT
"take it or leave it." The Americans would send
out theirs with a man or two to put it'up. They'd
say to me, 'We want you satisfied or we don't
want your money." .
"But," said I, "the English engines would last
twice as long."
"Sometimes,' replied Kitchener, "though be
fore the Americans'' were worn-out they would
have improved ones twice as good as the Eng
lish." He continued:
"I'd send those chaos out into the deiert nn
a job. , Blessed hard jobs they were, too, some
times, ana tney always went off without a
whimper or question. I remember one I u
sending a young chap out, a railway constructor.
I think be came from Pittsburgh; a slight, wiry
youngster, all nerves and sinew, quite different
rrom any oi tne cngiish chaps. It was about
the worst go I'd had un-to that time I remem
ber as he left I said to him to show he wss going
with my sympathy:
I hats a bad billet youve got there!1'
"'Sol' said he, "but you want it done!"
" "It must be done,' said I, 'somehow.'
"'I'll do it. then.' said he. and started T VA,a
the way he spoke, and called after him:
mow are you going to work it off there
in the desert without any communication?'
"He hardly stopped, but said, over his shoul
der: 'Oh, I guess we'll nut the whistle un firt
and tie the engine to that I'
1 never forgot him. He appealed to me.
"Another thing I remember ahnut thn
American chaps I could never get one to stop
long enough to decorate him. When that one
got through tying hia engine to the whistle I
sent word I wanted himto come to Cairo, where
I could present an order. He sent back word
to thank me, but added he was sorry he hadn't
time. He was off on a job in Spain and couldn't
wait. I had to send the ribbon after him."
Hew Loan Companies Edgt Up.
Omaha, Jan U. To the Editor of The
Bet: Having become imbued with the b'
lief that a law wai passed prohibiting
loan company from charging usunona rates
of interest, and being in need of 140, I
felt safe in making application for that
amount from a local company. Their an
swers to my questions were evasive and,
as I found afterward, were misleading.
understood that I was to be charged 16.88
for the use of 140 for sts months.
When myself and wife called for the
money, a week later, and after Ailing out
a lengthy blank, giving a chattel mortgage
on our ' furniture, these documents were
placed safely In the desk and ISO laid be
fore us, the 'shark spoke as follows:
"X have deducted 60 cents for notary
fee, SO cents, for cheeking up your furniture,
and here is your 189. Now you will pay
this back $5 a month plus interest at 10
per cent for Ave months. The sixth month
you will pay the remainder plus $4 brok
erage fee. plus interest, which is $19. IS.
Now if you cannot pay all of the last
month's payment, you shall only pay 11. IS.
and we will consider the $18 a separate
loan which we will charge you $3 a month
for the use of.
Will some lawyer kindly tell if a loan
company can tack on a so-called brokerage
fee to the last payment to prevent the bor
rower from meeting the obligation so that
they can charge $8 a month to keep- the
small salaried borrower from ever getting
the loan cleared? Is this transaction legal T
I feel sure that there are many others
tn Omaha who will join me in thanking The
Bee and all others who will give legal
advice in regard to the above..

t Defeat of Suffrage In Iowa.
South Side, Omaha, June 14. To the Editor
of The Bee i When the -suffrage light waa
on in Nebraska In 1914 the charge, was
made from one end of the state to the
other by the suffrage workers, that the
only ones opposed to woman suffrage were
saloon keepers, loafers and criminals.
I saw a letter that was written to Mrs.
Crumpacker by one of the most ardent suf
frage workers in the state In which he made
the statement that she was working in the
Interest oi the brothels and the lower ele
ments of society by working against woman
suffrage. . . . -
While Mrs. Crumpacker, who Is a woman
or very high personal character, was greatly
offended at the tone of the letter, she
deemed it the part of wisdom not' to pay
any attention to it. '
The strong workers 'against suffrage were
very indignant over the charge, for it is a
well-known fact that all of the strong work
ers .against suffrage were of as high stand
ing as the suffrage workers. Now, when
the great state of Iowa votes on suffrage
it Is beaten, with the anti-suffragists only
making a passive fight against it. Had the
same strong fight been made against It as
we made in this state in 1BT.4, it is likely
that it would have been beaten by a much
stronger majority.
The suffragists certainly cannot claim that
the saloon keepers and bums beat suffrage In
the prohibition state of Iowa.
, Thousands of farmers all over the state
voted against suffrage because their wives
and daughters are opposed to it and because
they do not care to mix up in political
affairs.
People divide on the suffrage question the
same as on other public questions, and while
some tough people may oppose it, it is
more than probable that all who favor suf
frage are not angels.
The republicans, in their convention at
Chicago last week, while adopting a mild
form of suffrage plank, were probably
largely opposed to the proposition, but the
plank was put into the platform as a matter
of expediency, and the democrats will prob
ably do the same thing this week by putting
a suffrage plank Into their platform as a
matter of political expediency. i
When the large body of women want the
right of' suffrage, it will be time enough
to give it to them.
Those who opposed the proposition in this
state In 1914 feel that they have been vin
dicated from the charges made against them
then, by the result in the prohibition state
of Iowa last week.

Josie-fn-the-Sandhills, June IS. To the

Nebraska women on farms and ranches

Boston Transcript.
I.
Beyond these narrow hills, when twilight
comes
To shut me In, my dreams go speeding
fnr
To whereT on gleaming streets the traffic
hums.
Where song and music, life and laughter
are.
I hear like organ tones that massive rise
The deep diapason of city ways;
Whose echoes reach the farthest nook of
skies
Beneath whose suns men toil un guer
doned days.
Fain would my feet haste on to seek the
goal r
Whose light hit touched thy darkness
with Its gleams,
But, as a cross does press a pinioned soul.
I live my life, my only joy my dreams:
II.
qweet Is the ministry of twillght'B peace
Here where the city's thunder harshly
beats,
Where blatant warning, steel and tone re
lease Hoarse tunes, meet for ji devil's dance,
where streets i
Are cold to spring's soft wooing, now and
then
I hear, like low, angelic music, songs
Of brooks in meadow far and rocky glen,
Where 'mid wild roses group the fairy
throngs. "
I look beyond the city's sky-thrust heights
That shut me in, and visions I can se
Of dawns rose-sweet, bright noons and
hushed nights .
The solaces of my captivity!

cream which Is generally used for coffee or cereals while the blue milk is
used in baking and cooking. And this blue milk hasn't the proper food
