Snbacrlban laarinf tha city tampararilr should have Tha Bm Bailae to them. Ad elraaa will ba changed aa of Ian aa requeited. The Stirs and Stripi uebcr tiles! Still England cannot rightly claim a monop oly of muddling things. The handwriting on the republican wall spell "Harmony." For democrats its spells "Worry." No sea battles in a war with Mexico nothing but the occupation of a few almost defenceless ports. Teutons have taken another bite Out of Ver dun. Four months of biting lesves little but the bones. ' Still, the absorbing pressure of mobilization should not postpone srrangements for s "Safe and Sane Fourth." Compared with the mobilization camp at Lincoln, the Mexican border is an awful long, long way from home. All right, when we want another rainy season broken we will call upon the grocers and butchers to hold snotber picnic There is no mistaking the determination of the country to make "lilacs" the national fltower for the coming four years. To their honor be it said that the colored troops, as usual, fought nobly and finished the author of the Carrizal trap. A bankruptcy exhibit of $299,000 In liabilities nd assets of $20.50 proves that a has-been pugi list retains a financial punch of considerable rigor. ..';;,. Whatever the drawbacks may be, Omaha's summer amusement resorts art improving all the time and the lot ef the stay-at-home is not st all bad. With the Mexican Situation so critical, just suppose oar .democratic senator from Nebraska had succeeded In his purpose to shut down all the munition factories in the United States. It is not new trick on the part of the demo crats to raise a false Issue. In 1896 it was the "British" gold standard they inveighed against just as they are now railing about the republican ticket being dictated from Berlin by the "Kaiter." Mr. Bryan says in his Commoner, "Now for the campaign we must win." Our recollection is that he said the very tame thing at least three different times, when he himself was the demo cratic nominee for president, but failed to be sustained by the returns. Though why Lincoln newspapers should be come excited over the question whether our Douglas county road improvement bonds, which polled majority of the votes cast, must still fail because short majority of the total number of voters participating in the election, is difficult to grasp. ' - : BtTtegi and loan Aisoolationt. I Savings and loan associations in Nebraska rank next to state banks as promoters of thrift snd loaning agencies. Their importance in the field of finance and home ownership Is known to all concerned in the upbuilding of communities. As custodians of $45,000,000, the savings of thou sands of Nebrasksnt, their business activities and tendencies vitally concern the members and the public at large. Heretofore the signpost of safety for associa tions pointed solely to loans on local mortgage security, chiefly homes. Local knowledge of values and of the standing of the borrower but tressed the sign and experience justified lb Nearly all Nebraska associations adhere closely to the local field. Several astoeiationa operate throughout the state, and a few seek business in adjoining states. The tendency toward larger fields of operation is evident from the recent ac tion of the association league in abolishing what has been regarded as the "dead line of safety." This tendency deserves thoughtful consideration. ; During the early Wi associations doing a state-wide and nation-wide business overran the Middle Weat Their energy, enterprise, and promises almost overwhelmed local associations. The big fellows reveled in riches, the little ones nearly famished for support Yet when the lean years of 1893-4-5 strained tha resources of the country, practically every one of the mammoth associations were swept out of existence, leaving trails of bankruptcy, extravagance and desola tion throughout Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. Nebraska was spared the blight chiefly because the associations confined their operations to the local field and successfully weathered the stress of hard times. Conditions have changed greatly in twenty rears. New and greater resources have been de veloped, values vastly Increased and investment rpportunitlet multiplied. But the line of local safety is not materially altered. It is as clear today as when experience drew it through the national association wreckage of former years. Some Outstanding- Facts. War with Mexico may be precipitated at any moment now, the issue depending upon the ac tion of Vcnustiano Carranza and his advisers. The erratic course of these men, since they came to the surface in Mexico a few years ago stamps them as irresponsible as well as incapable. Whim or impulse has so far been their guide, rather than reason, and to outline a policy that depends on their doing or not doing anything is to continue guesswork. However greatly our government may have blundered in its dealings with the Mex icans does not excuse the ignorance, reckless ness and Imbecility displayed on the Mexican side. That President Wilton clings to his hope that the present grave situation may be brought to a satisfactory solution without war is to his credit, and indicates his patience, which is sup' ported by the national abhorrence of war. The step that will take us across the Rio Grande will only be made when all other hope is abandoned. These are the outstanding facts. Appeals from Europe and from South America that war be averted do not fall on deaf ears in the United States, but all the world must realize that the United States has borne about as much from the irresponsible banditti of Mexico, whether mas querading as organized armies or riding as mere marauders, as can be expected of a self-respect ing people. We are willing, nay, we have sac rificed much to maintain peace, but we are just at the end of our patience now. Slaughtered soldiers, murdered citizens, ravished women, burning homes, ravaged ranches and devastated industries of various kinds do not form s very eloquent basis for further appeal to forbearance. If we do not go to war to give Mexico a real government, it will be one ef the miracles of history. After Schooldays, On ths Job. Much white paper that might be devoted to better purposes, is nowadays being smeared with ink, to tell the newly graduated boys and girls what to do in order to conquer the world. All might be summed up in a single word. Work. The job you may have secured, young man, or young woman, may not be the one you expected, nor the one at which you intend to devote your life. It would be a mighty fine billet, if it did tome up to your expectations. But it is the thing you have in hind to do, therefore do it with all your might Do not slight it in any regard. The world is not cold nor is it at all indifferent, but it Is very busy ,tnd hain't time to fool away on persons who are not in earnest. Also, the line ahead of you is pretty well filled up with others who started earlier, and who are quite as eager for success as you are. It isn't going to be easy to break through that line, but if you have the right quality you can do it Only, don't wait for some one far up shead to step out snd give you his place. Those things do not transpire in real life. You didn't get through school without work, and you'll not get on in life unlets you do put your energies of mind and body into your employment. Do not be discouraged if you do not get immediately the recognition you deserve. Thtt will come in due teason, but the old world It "from Mitsouri," and you must con vince it. Hard work it the only known way to do that. Conventions of the Future Four years ago the prediction was common that the president-choosing convention was a thing of the past and that nomination by nation wide direct primary vote would materialize be fore the end of another quadrennial period. As a matter of fact, however, all the big political par tiea have again held nominating conventions, and none has reverted to a nation-wide primary, ex cept the socialist party, which has made its choice by referendum vote, but the conventions are plainly shewing changes toward deliberation and sanity. Reviewing the republican gathering, Sen ator Borah of Idaho makes this declaration: "I with all conventions were just such con ventions at the Chicago convention except more so. I would like to see all future conven tions of all parties meet in some building, pre ferably not a barn, sufficiently large to hold the delegates and then proceed without noise, with out commercial enthusiasm, without competi tive cheering to the discuttion and considera tion Of policies and to the most important task that can devolve upon the citizens, the selec tion of a candidate for the presidency." Equally experienced observers have reached the conclualon that the day of ttaampeding delegates by manufactured demonstrations and artificially promoted outbursts of enthusiasm has passed, and that the convention of the future will be a buainess session rather than a campmeeting. Sen ator Borah unquestionably has the situation rightly sized up and has visualized the direction which convention reform hat taken. Hebraska on tha Battlefield More of Nebraska's young men are under arms and on their way to serve the United States in battle, if need be, and before them marches a record to which they may look for inspiration when duty in its sternest form beckons them on. At Shilob the first of all the First Nebraskans met the shock of battle with such credit that their colonel became a brigadier general. Only a few of this gallant body of men are yet alive, but six in Omaha, but the glory they won will never die. Another Firtt Nebraska regiment waded through water up to the waist, under fire, to land at far off Manila and help to carry the flag and t,he constitution to the Filipinos. "There goes the First Nebraska, and all hell can't stop 'em," ex claimed General Hale, as later on, he watched the regiment charge, with Stotsenberg at its head. Stotsenberg gave his life for his impetuosity, and Lee Forby, and others whose names are cherished went down, but the First Nebraska set Old Glory over the trenches of the insurrectoi, and gave Aguinaldo's cause a blow from which it never recovered. In 1898 the Second and Third Nebraaka boyt had only to ttand and wait, but they alto served, and they too are a part of the history in which the state has pride. And now the Fourth and Fifth are going out, and with them the good wishes of all the people of the state, who feel these younger soldiers will not bring less of credit to the name of Nebraska than did thote who went before them. . That accident in which a trench-digger lost his life will illustrate the change made by the workmen's compensation law. Whether tha mishap was due to negligence or not, his de pendent widow will be entitled to a definite death benefit where formerly the choice would have been between a nominal aettlement or the tottery ef a lawsuit with the lawyers taking off half the winnings. . Can there be any two opin ions as to which is the better? By Ttetot Boaawatar. DETERMINATION to get the United States senate back into republican control is spur ring the party in the different states that nave senatorial seats at stake this year to bring out their strongest men, making it already certain that the new blood to be infused into that body will carry vigor and force. The primary in Min nesota has furnished as definite assurance as can be given in advance that the next representative in the senate from that state wilt be Frank B. Kellogg, who, to those who know him, is a man of exceptional ability and peculiarly attractive per aonality. Mr. Kellogg has been a visitor in Omaha many times, coming here always on law business, except once when he accepted an invitation to address our Palimpsest club. Physically small, he is mentally a giant He is a lawyer through and through and yet, at the same time, hat been active in politics. I served with him on the na tional committee through two laborious sittings beset with the hearing of contest cases and we were together on subcommittees that worked out the convention calls with a view to avoiding conflicts with the fast accumulating direct pri mary laws, no two of which were alike. While Mr. Kellogg has more than once con fessed an ambition to serve in the senate, I .know that it took great persuasion on the part of his friends to induce him to run this time. What he objected to most, as he told me, was the necessity ot making a vote-seeking canvass tor tne primary and then a second canvass for the election. "I would not mind making a campaign as the nominee of my party," he told me. But appeal ing to people for their votes as a personal favor is distasteful to me, and I do not feel inclined to go in." That was six months ago, however, and he was later compelled to see that it was his duty to respond to the popular call for leadership, with the result as the returns showed, decisively to his advantage. In other words, Mr. Kellogg is being "drafted" in almost the same sense as is Mr. Hughes. The nomination of Frederick Hale for United States senator on the republican ticket in Maine, also attests the sincere efforts of the republicans in that state to put forward their most promising talent. Colonel Hale is a much younger man than Mr. Kellogg, and much newer in public life, but of the same aggressive type. He, too, has had service on the national committee and in the party strife was on the progressive tide but maintained hia regularity and hat been a po tent factor in the get-together movement He was one of the early recruits in the Hughet movement this year and the deep-rooted Hughes sentiment in Maine and the adjoining New Eng land states is due to the stand taken by him and others like him. It will be only fair if the strength of the Hughes ticket takes Colonel Hale along with it into the United States senate. Mitsouri has had only one republican United States senator since the Civil war, but the pros pect is so promising now that an interesting contest for tne nomination is on between Walter S. Dickey of Kansas City and Thomas J. Akins of St Louis. Mr. Dickey is much better known here for his active part in the waterways agita tion and for having organized the company which inaugurated the barge line up to Kansas 'City. He has acquired a snug fortune, begun by the manufacture of sewer pipe and incidentally of the clay pigeons which trap shootert know aa "Dickey birds." Mr. Akins, on the other hand, has no tuch wealth of hit own or financial back ing of others, but has been one of the party war horses for years. He is a native Missourian and has been postmaster at St Louis and has been an indefatigable worker for other candidates in a way that has made him hosts of friends. With considerable perspicacity, Mr. Akins took off his coat and rolled up hia sleeves to help organize the Hughet sentiment in Missouri, never stopping his efforts until the nomination was landed in Chicago, while his competitor for the senatorial nomination sat upon the side lines. This, it is expected, will help make the contest brisk if it does not give Akins a positive advantage. At one time it was thought that ex-Governor Hadley would try for the aenatorship in Missouri, but the poor state of his health is keeping him wholly out of politics. Over at Chicago I got word of our former governor, George L. Sheldon, who has become a planter in Mississippi that warranta the belief that we will hear from him in his new location. Inquiring of some of the Mississippi folks, they told me, "Oh yes, Captain Sheldon is doing very nicely. We had him over to our state convention and he made ut a fine speech. We would have had him here with us on our delegation but the selections had already been agreed to and he did not seem, specially eager to come. We expect to have his help in building up our party and we wish we were strong enough down our way to make him governor of our state at he waa of youre. The time and care devoted to the selection of a chairman to manage the republican national campaign recalla the difficulty Mr. Bryan had in making hit selection the last time he ran for president, and an apt remark of his I heard with reference to the difficulty encountered in realizing hit ideal, which I have recited before. This it how Mr. Bryan expretted himtelf, "I am rather glad that we were unable to find the ideal chair roan; for if we had a man in our party able to meet all the requirements of the ideal chairman, he would have been nominated for president in stead of me." Thirty Years Ago This Day in Omaha ' Co.lMt Fran ft Flit The Union Pacific Is replacing its Thirteenth street bridge, which is only sixty feet long, with a brtdare 100 feet Ions, the full width of the street. which will leave the street unobstructed. The plat of Richmond, an addition of seventy two lots on West Leavenworth street, has been filed in the county clerk's office. United States Marshal Bierbower has returned from Detroit, where he went to escort Tietsort, the Kcnnard pottofl.ee robber. H. B. Chamberlain of the firm of Chamberlain, Anderson & O'Connell, has left for the east. Nine cars of excursionists pulled out of the Union depot at 9 o'clock to attend the brick layers' picnic near Waterloo. In the morning a match game of ball four innings was played be tween the nine of the bricklayers, consisting of C McGrady, T. O'Neill, T. Curry, A. Looker, Harry Troxell, Ben Ricketts, Hank Galvin, Ben English and Charles Willis, and the nine of the plasterers, consisting of Garrett, Wilson, Foster. Rich, Anderson, Toney, Allen, Cox, Burns and Carey. The bricklayers won by a score of 10 to 2. The committee of arrangements consisted of P. O'Keefe. George Cridge, J. Jobat, John Schroe der, Perry Ellis and William Micklejohn. Articles of Incorooration of the Gate Cftv Oil and Mineral company were filed, the incorporators ot wntcn are i c, xiarmon, i. n. narmon, t. Wells, F. Houll, D. Donahay, Paul Plati, F. J.

They have nothing against beards but the rules of tha Job. After courting each other forty years without a "spat," and feeling confident they knew acb other well enough to live under the same roof. Lafayette Gates and Battle Reagor of Rutherford, Tenn., were married thee other day. Time and thought makes for safety In perilous undertakings. The novice at the auto wheel can draw courage and confidence from the experience of Otto Huffman, a Phillipsburg (Fa.) butcher. While taking a trial spin with his new machine, all went well until Otto tried to work the brake. Falling to eon nect with the right lever he jumped from the seat, grabbed the rear wheels and brought the car to a standstill by main strength. He who plants In tha dry belt may reap, provided .he Is quick enough to beat the officers to the harvest. The Alabama boot legger who planted a potato patch with 200 pint bottles of forty-rod clearly overdid the job. Boost spotters scented the dope and plowed up the patch before the owner could give flrst aid to tha suffering. A socialiat editor In an Oklahoma town let loose a grouch against guardsmen called for service on the border. Foolishly he put his grouch in print. Then something hap pened. When he recovered from his sur prise he found himself on the high road outside of town, with a fine assortment of bruises and orders to keep going and never come back. Judging by appearance ts not very safe, even for a policeman. One of "the finest" of San Francisco thought he had an easy one when be collared a panhandler playing the one-arm beggar game, but the disguised arm, built on the nam model, came out from under the beggar's eoat and smote the unsuspect Ing copper shamefully. The beggar landed In Jail and the cop In the hospital. A crusade for honest weights and meas ure continues unabated In New York. City inspectors have given the movement an edu cational turn by leotures and demonstrations in the schools and distributing among the pupils buttons bearing tha motto: "Sixteen ounces to the pound. He who first serves best, profits most. Honesty is the only policy.' The need of a public awakening is shown by the fact that 100,000 false wooden measures were seised last year and thou sands of fraudulent scales and metal meas ures scrapped and malted. SECULAR SHOTS AT TEE PULPIT Washington Post : a Connecticut minister has entered a munitions factory in order to make a living, but Billy Sunday hurls liquid lire from the same old stand. Detroit Free Preaa: The unanimous pro test of tha ministers at Coatesrille, Pa-, against a diving-girl act In that progressive village seems to indicate that.tbey were all present. Springfield Republican: The Presbyterian general assembly ef Canada, after three days' debate, voted, 40S to 88, to accept the plan of uniting the Presbyterian, Congregational and Methodist churches of the Dominion. A bitter fight was waged against the proposal by an influential minority, composed largely of ministers and laymen from eastern Can ada, whose loyalty to Presbytertanlsm made them look with disfavor upon a consolidated church in which the salient features of their denomination might be modified. Yet the sentiment for union gained noticeably In strength as the debate sroceeded. Baltimore American: Waste, the stern Indictment of the Protestant churches, stands today the one fell foe to elneiencv. It flourishes by the grace of the competitive system that lies at tha base of Protestant divisions. There is no counterpart to this waste In the Catholic parochial system which enables the church to follow up every one of its members and to keep them in line, un lets by virtue of their own acts they per sistently separate themselves from its com munions. But they axe not even then lost sight of. Many are revived and brought again Into the church, with a Christian ex perience. The ideal of tha gospel must be the ideal ef the church to present every man faultless before the presence of the tattler. But the Protestant churches make the congregation, rather than the Individual, tha unit Aa long a tha congregation is sus tained, tha membership satisfactory, the fact that there are other sheep of Jesus outside the fold does not seem to stir some of them any great degree. Yet the most wonderful and most beautiful parable of the Master centered In this one idea, to effect the saving of the last individual. BRIEF BITS OP SCIENCE. India Ink was first brought from China.

Sir Robert Hadfield, the noted English maker of projectiles, is authority for the statement that the useful life of a modern high-velocity gun Is about three seconds. Which Is to say that the time taken by the shell In traveling through the gun, from powder chamber to mussle, multiplied by the total number of rounds that can be fired before the rifling is so worn as to Impair the accuracy, give a total useful life of only three seconds. Rather a short life for, let us say, a twelve-Inch gun costing from $50,000 to 860.000. AROUND THE CITIES. Wilmington, Del., has Just completed a city and county office building at a cost of tl.800.000. Buffalo Is the residence of 10,988 licensed suto drivers out of a total of 106,000 in the Empire state.
