Why This Mobilizing; of.'tite Militia..
The' sudden order of President . Wilon. for.
mobilizing the national guard in the several
states for service on call at the Mexican border
calls for explanation. .
On the surface there is no vital change in the
Mexican situation from , what it has been for
weeks, and yet the president takes this action on
a Sunday, without consulting congress, which is
in session, as if the life of the nation would be
jeopardized by a twenty-four-hour delay. . . - .
, The president's do-nothing policy of "watchful
waiting," used so long to excuse inaction, was
followed by a so-called "punitive expedition",
now to be reinforced by1 this general. mobilization,
but all the time with insistence that we are at,
peace and not at war with Mexico, and with all
the world. By what theory, then, is this un
precedented order justified? ' ;
When the country is at war the president'
military power as commander-in-chief, M we all
know, is practically unlimited,, but his peace pow
ers are subject to the usual restrictions of the
constitution and the laws, and under the constitu
tion the only purposes for which the militia may
be called forth by the federal government ar
"to execute the laws of the anion, suppress in
surrection and repel invasion. With no organ
ized defiance of our laws and no insurrection of
our own citizens," it must be we we preparing
"to repel invasion," but an invasion, In the ordi
nary sense of the term, is an attack" upon -our
territory by the armed forces of some other state,
whereas all we are threatened with, at most, is
an incursion here or there by band of maraud
ing outlaws. ' , . - i i 1
Is this the kind of invasion for which the sum
moning of the militia by executive oroer is con
temnlated? Or are there hidden motive or be-
low-the-surface purposes prompting the move? To
an uninitiated observer it looks as if the authort
tiet at Washington were either' needlessly stam-
peping or. merely making a political softie. '

' For the first time in several seasons, the
Omaha base ball team is at the top of the stand
ing table, holding the place by dint of 'having
vanquished its competitors so far as the season
has progressed. Moreover, it bids fair to. stay
there, and to bring another pennant to Rourke
park. Of course, It is a little too early to award
championship honors, but it is not too soon to
congratulate Owner Rourke. on the success he
has already achieved, and to wish him well for
the-rest of the season. He has faced adversity
and financial loss for several seasons, but has
stuck to his guns determined to get together a
team that would properly do credit to the best
base ball city in the United States and thus de
serve the support of the home town folks. Now
that he has done this, he ought to get more than
the good wishes of the public, A winning base
ball team is no't only a joy to the fans, but a
good advertisement for the town. ,
' Cost of Running for Offioe.
One of the hidden beauties of running for
office under the direct primary plan is brought
out by experience of candidates for governor
in Iowa, Three made the race for the republi
can nomination, -which one of them won. Ac
cording to hit own account on file at the state
house , the expenses' of the winner were - $10,
356,62. Of the unsuccessful aspirants one files
an expense account of $17,876.88. .The third has
not at yet made public the amount he invested
in an unavailing effort to be chosen to go before
the people a a candidate for the executive's of
fice, but based on the experience of the other
two,' he will not ge( off with much less than
$10,000. ' The lesson Is not easy to draw. But
It does show that 'the direct primary does not
open the way to office' to a poor man. ; Iowa
hat had tome splendid governors who could not
have afforded to pay the price nowadays de
manded for a nomination.
An Unplejat( Reminder. . '

at least The United States, for its. part, has
sent the "sharp note" to Great Britain and it
allies, but so far no reply 'has been had. Some
suggestion has been received that the conces
sions to be offered by the British government
will be something less than requested by our
government, it that this issue will not be
speedily terminated. An' exchange of note
with Auttria over the tubtea epitode meant that
the State department at Washington itn't going

Standardiiinj Kebruk Hig-hwayi, -The
State Highway Advisory commission
announces itself a ready to act on certain appli
cation . for Insignia to designate particularly
roads with, one or another of the titles adopted
generally. ' This is for the purpose of unifying
routes and making maps dependable. It is good
service as far at it foes, but it does not go far
enough. The state .engineer is a member of the
advisory committee, and will 'take part in the
survey of 1 the routes, ': He- must fully realize
the need for adopting a standard for construc
tion and maintenance of state roads. He should
take advantage of this present opportunity to
urge the proper consolidation, or at least co
operation of road building authority in Nebraska,
to the end that money expended will be made
to give better service than is now obtained. The
four millions that is annually Invested in roads
hv Nebraska, if expended under -central control,
and with a definite program, would soon give
the state a splendid system of highways. ; -
Should occasion demand it, there is no doubt
American industries could meet alt needs. ' Thit
fict it thown in many directiona where tests have
been applied. In one Jersey shop a tingle unit
of mechanical equipment developed a capacity of
7,500 cartrldget an hour, each cartridge manipu
lated from the raw material to the finished prod

output of such appliances is limited only by the
number of units employed. " - ' i t '
.Although Great Britain enjoys to the full the
freedom of the seas,, the pinch of economy and
diminished food imports - forces, the nation to
adopt the German policy of conaerving food
stocks. From conservation to regulation of price
and consumption seems but a short step. .
1 Dandelions as a Crop
Lftarary Digest
AS A BRILLIANT decorative blossom in a field,
the dandelion eomoels our admiration'. As a
feature of a lawn it is usually held by the. owner
to be a nuisance requiring abatement. Many like
the tender leaves served as "greens," and yet until
of late we have not considered the dandelion a
commercial possibility as a vegetable; Besides its
edible leaves the plant has roots possessing valu
able medicinal properties: These we import from
Europe when we want them, neglecting the
copious supplies in our own back yards-ajid
then, pen in hand, we sit down and write articles
on "business efficiency." But the dandelion, as a
money-making crop, is coming into its own. Says
a writer hj The Scientific American Supplement:
'. "One often hears the statement that every
production -of nature is good in its kind, and the
dandelion is not an exception, for every part of
the plant is in repute for-its particular purposes.
It has in recent years acquired a degree 'of im
portance which, -on that account, entitles it .to
notice. ', Its cultivation in the United States dees
not date back very far, but it is highly probable
that it will become a plant of considerable com
mercial value. It is, perhaps, one of the most
cosmopolitan of medical plants, for besides being
an actually recognized article in pharmacy it is
also largely collected and used by the country
people for liver-complaints and in cases of dys
pepsia. The roots are used in variety of ways in
Europe and in parts of this country. One useful
form is that of a paste, which, is made by pound
ing the fresh roots, placing the mass into tins
or jars, and baking it in an oven until it is thor
oughly dry,, It is used also as a substitute for
coffee. ' For this purpose the roots are washed,
dried in the son, and cut into small pieces, after
which they are roasted in a manner similar to
coffee. The material it then ground, and to every
nine parts of coffee one part of ground dandelion
root it added. This is said to form an excellent
and useful beverage.-" " '
, "The use of dandelion-leaves as a pot-herb or
salad in the early spring it welt-known in this
country. The country people-make from them a
tonic recommended for purifying the blood.--Its
use for the table hat become to universal that in
a number of placet large fields are devoted en
tirely to itt culture:' The leaves when boiled form
a very agreeable substitute for the spinach and
other greens at a much earlier period of the sea
ton than that in which any other pjant it' found
to ripen in thit climate. The flowers are used
for making so-called dandelion wine.
. ., . V)
"The industry It still localized around New
York, New. Haven and -Boston; but after the
American growers learn to realize something for
the dandelion roots, as -welt as for the tops, it
will render it a still more valuable article of
Srowth. At the present time bur supply of dan
elion roots comes chiefly frm Germany, Aus
tria and France, The United States imports many
tons of these roots annually, and there is no rea
son why the American truck gardeners should not
supply thit demand. Of the comparative medicinal
qualities of the American anS foreign-grown roots
numerous experiments have been made,' and It
has been found that the foreign root contains no
one essential quality which is not possesed in an
equal degree by our own: it is in tome casea even
more effectual than the foreign roots."
Dandelions are held to be a sovereign remedy
for "spring fever" by Dr. William Brady who
writes in The Illustrated ; World. This annual
"tired feeling," Dr. Brady says, is due to the fail
ure of the ductless glands to act property, thut
allowing - accumulated product! to poison the
blood. He says: . '
- "Some individuals have a much more compe
tent ductless gland apparatus than others. If the
ductless glands functionate actively, their secre
tions entering the blood-help to oxidize or destroy
poisons circulating through , the body, and so the
individual can stand . a . considerable degree of
autointoxication without feeling the usual symp
toms. ' But if the poisoning go'n for, a Con
siderable period, the ductless glandt will eventu
ally thirk the irktome burden, and then the tpring
fever comet on with atl its melancholy symptoms.
It it a pretty well established fact that a highly
nitrogenous diet especially a meat diet, places a
heavier strain upon the ductless gland function
than a carbohydrate or vegetarian diet; some
people can stand it longer than others that is all.
If they last through into summer, they escape
-spring fever. ,
"And now for the remedy. Every old woman
knows that green garden truck lettuce, onions,
radishes, Utringbeans, green peas, spinach, dan
delion and other greens ia good for the blood.
The spring vegetables are good because they fill
the bowel with indiuestible cellulose and tend to
increase motility or relieve blood stagnation there,
ana atso necause tne caroonyarate residue oilers
a poor medium for the nefarious activities of the
colon bacillus and allied parasites which produce
the poisons of autointoxication and spring fever.
"Thus the Italian immigrant woman of the
Sealant class who appears in your dooryard with
er rooting knife upon the first faint suggestion
of tpring it antwering the call of the blood. - All
winter the and her family have hungered for
something bulky and green, and now, with her
apron full of taraxacum officinale, commonly
called 'those pesky dandelions," she will serve her
family a dish that will do far more good than any
spring tonic they could buy in a bottle," -

The late Richard Harding Davis was once
persuaded to dine with a new rich millionaire in
a cream-colored palace on Fifth avenue. '
had cost how much his Ming vases had cost, how
mucn nis gooeun tapestries nad cost, the price
of his Louis Seize furniture, and so forth. .
After dinner the man produced, with the
cigars, a bottle of 125-year-old brandy. He told
how much this had cost, of course.
Mr. Davis sipped the old brandy from the
enormous glass in which old brandy is always
served.
v "Yes, sir," said the millionaire, "that stuff
cost me just"
"Excuse me," said Mr.' Davis, holding out his
glass, "but it's to very good, would you mind

THE .JUUE COUPLE. ' V
Edgar A. Quest in Detroit Free PrSss.
Sh hi fair to see and sweet,
riaiinttr tram hut head to feet.
Modest as her blushing shows, ;
Happy as her smiles disclose, '
And the young man at her side
Nervously attempts to niae .
tTys.r.sith vl-ii-a -rim
That the fuss Is bothering him.
Pause a moment, happy pair;
Romance ends and wooing stops
Ana tne cnarms irm
This Is but the outward gate
Where the souls of mortals mate; s-
But the border of the land
You must travel hand in haild.
"3 ,
Tou, who come to marriage, bring
All your ' tenderness, and cling
Steadfastly to all the ways
That have marked your wooing days,
You are only atartlng out
On life's . roadways, hedged, about
Thick with roses and with tares, .
Sweet delights and bitter cares, ,
Heretofore you've only played
At love's game, young man and maid...'..
Only known It at Its best;
Now you'll have to face Its test,
You must prove your love worth while.
Something time cannot defile,
Something neither care nor pain
Can destroy or mar or stain.
You ara now about to show
Whether love is real or no.
Yonder down the lane of life ' j
You will find, as man and wife
Sorrows, disappointments, doubt,
Hope will slmost flicker out,
But if rightly you are wed
Love will linger where you tread.
There are Joys that you will share,
Joys to balance every care;
Arm In arm remain and you
Will hot fear the storms that brew;
And when you are sorest tried -Pace
your trials, sid by side,
Now your wooing days are done -And
your loving- years begun.
