Righteousness exaltt ' itself by endorsing
Hughei and Fairbanks.
The ignorance of the great body of Mexicans
is genuine bliss. They know not what is coming
to them.
"Death to the Gringoes!" echoes fiercely in
spots in Mexico. Execution depends on catching
the Gringo with his back turned.
1 Enough lives will have been lost in Mexico
without sacrificing any needlessly for Fourth of
July folly. Make it "Safe and Sane'M f
1 The transfer of the bull moose from short
t grass to republican ' clover undoubtedly thrills
. with paternal joy the hearts of faunat naturalists.
1 And again, according to reports from Mexico,

', American citizens have no reason to apologize
r for their hyphen.
Owing to the conflicting reports of the an-
nouncers it is impossible at this time to name the
winners of the marathon to the Carpathian moun
: V, tains. ' All bets are off.
One suicide already of a Kansas militiaman
in order to get away from a prospective call
to service in Mexico. Collection of the war toll
does not wait for battle.
Our democratic friends need not worry Mr.
Hughes will discuss the railroad regulation plank
$ of the republican platform in due time and there
if will be no mistaking its meaning. .
Note that the Nebraska member of the pro-
gressive national committee voted with the ma
s' jority to endorse Hughes'. And there is no ques
tion that he reflected the sentiment of his con
atituents. , ' "
Mr. Bryan has nothing to say about Mexico
for fear he might disagree with President Wilson.
If the occupant of the White House were a re
publican instead of a democrat, nothing could
keep Mr. Bryan silent
The Wall Street Journal has been touting the
Union Pacific as the financially best fortified
railroad on the map. There can be no question,
then, how to get the money when Omaha's new
Union depot proposition comes to a head.
Still, no. one can doubt that the digestion of
the retiring Union Pacific president would have
been aided by scattering these farewell banquets
along the line from the beginning of his service,
instead of bunching them all at the terminal.
How do you like the boost in your tax bill that
you are now compelled to pay? But, unless you
make your feelings known to city, school and
water district authorities who fix the rate, you
will have the same dose repeated next year. ,
The only way to reduce tax bills is by stopping
inflation at the source. The tax rate is a combi
nation of the levies made by state, county, city,
school and water district authorities and the natu
ral disposition of alt of them is to edge up.
What's the use of the police raiding disorderly
resorts when they all get away with nominal
penalties in the police court? Is it any wonder
that, after repetition of this experience, police
officers become discouraged and the edge wears
off of their keenness?
Unless the Mexican war cloud vanishes in thin
air, a call for volunteers will come and recruiting
y, ' - offices speeded up. Every eligible participant in
Wm flag and' preparedness parades no doubt will be
.' given the first chance to give practical effect to
- . their loyalty end enthusiasm.

Hughes Plain and Emphatic
Mr. Hughes' telegram to the bull moose com
mittee and his letter to Colonel Roosevelt are
notable contributions to the literature of the cam
paign, which is being so vigorously opened at this
early day. The language of the telegram is espe
cially plain and emphatic, and clearly outlines the
basis for the argument against continuing the
present administration. Mr. Hughes well sets
forth that patriotic support of thlp president in his
efforts to extricate himself from a serious pre
dicament into which He has manuevcrcd himself
and his country is not to be interpreted as ap
proval of the policy that has ended so disas
trously. His phrase, "weakness and incertitude,"
patly describes the Wilson administration, both
at home and abroad.
In this connection Mr. Hughes touches on the
deplorable muddle into which the affairs of the
nation have drifted because of failure to fully
realize and firmly deal with contributing causes
as events developed. No uncertainty as to the
attitude of the republican nominee will be found
in his utterance. He plainly, and without bom
bast, tells where he stands; his public record is
the best possible guaranty as to what may be ex
pected from him in the way of keeping promises.
In no campaign of the country's history have
the issues been more plainly marked, nor were
they ever more important, than at present. Nor
can they be evaded or obscure by democratic1
bluster or fustian. The Wilson regime has been
tried, and has been found wanting, and he will be
replaced by a man who is capable of governing.
Making Up the Issue.
David Starr Jordan asks the president not to
make the Carrizal incident a pretext for war,
and suggests that the issue be made up on other
matters. In this the historian speaks for the fu
ture. A mere "obscure clash of irresponsible
troops," as Dr. Jordan characterizes the affair,
is not sufficient reason in itself to plunge the na
tion into war. Back of this, however, lies justi
fication found in innumerable affronts, violations
of international comity, outrage of our national
dignity, breaches of faith, and the establishment
of an ever present danger to citizens in their
homes, enough to warrant war many times over.
If we have war, Carrizal will be to the present
situation what the sinking of the Maine was to the
Spanish war, the spark that touched off the pile.
The popular mind will not occupy itself to any
great extent with the basic cause for this or any
other conflict, but it will eagerly seize some inci
dent that. excites the imagination or appeals to
the surface emotions. Columbus and Carrizal will
serve quite as well as any, and the people will
press on to the settlement of the controversy,
while the learned doctors deal with the fundamentals.
Coast to Coast Freight Rates. .
The Interstate Commerce commission has
just promulgated another of its series of orders,
dealing with freight rates between Atlantic and
Pacific terminals, and on a basis that is certain to
engender much of dispute, some confusion, and
no especial satisfaction beyond wRat may be de
rived from the thought that it is another step
towards the ultimate order that will put freight
rates finally on a stable and equitable basis. The
order is to the railroads to raise their coast-to-coast
rates so that they will be on a parity with
rates to intermediate points. It is made because
ocean competition does not for the moment exist,
and because a lowering of intermediate rates had
already been denied. Objection on part of the
shippers will lie because the order does not bring
any relief to intermediate points, other than that
Pacific coast jobbers will now be deprived of
something of an advantage they have hitherto
enjoyed. For the railroads it was objected be
fore the commission that the ocean freight situa
tion is temporary in its character, and should not
be made the basis for an enduring order. In
both of these objections is found merit, and both
must be given further consideration before the
question may be set aside as disposed of. It has
the single recommending quality noted, that it
indicates a purpose on part of the Interstate Com
merce commission to deal fully with the' whole
transcontinental rate question on a basis of jus
tice to railroads and shippers alike. -
Woes of the War Experts.
The course of the conflict in Europe is very'
perplexing for the "military" experts,, who daily
prognosticate future operations after a post-mortem
analysis of recorded movements. The fate
of armies and nations is patiently expounded by
these prophets, who deviously dope out the future
and settle for the moment at least great prob
lems of strategy and tactics. 'The difficulty so
far has been that neither side to the war has
paid a great deal of attention to the plans laid in
American newspaper offices, but have gone on
furnishing one surprise after another. The stu
dent of war in the future will find much to oc
cupy his serious attention in the real maneuvers
of today, which comprise the operation of armies
on a magnificent scale, with a combination of
old and new methods that is most engaging to
the professional. For the present the amateur
warriors may esteem themselves highly, and con
tinue their guesswork, but they are .serviceable
only as affording amusement;
To those who recall the pathetic close of
Horace Greeley's career as an editor, following
the political fiasco of 1872, there is a touch of
retributive justice in the removal of the editor's
statue from the front of the New York Tribune
building to City Hall park. The last act of the
inanimate figure before the final separation was
to smash a plate glass window in the building.
Thus a kindly fate, aided by inefficient workmen,
enabled the statue to register a farewell kick.
The silent nation like the; silent man usually
is on the spot with the goods when opportunity
knocks. Roumania ditched the band wagon and
abstained from undue publicity since the row
began. Both sides have been played for busi
ness and golden streams from rival war treas
uries conducted into the pockets of producers
of food products. Roumanians appear content
with neutrality while the money talks.
. If anything in connection with the conduct, of
the county hospital needs airing, now is the time
to command attention of the public that foots the'
bill The taxpayers want that institution efficiently
managed for the benefit of the inmates and no
skull-duggery, political pull or professional fa
voritism... . . .'. ''.'...!
In weighing the gory threats of La Reforma
of Saltillo, allowance should be) made for the irri
tation due to collecting printing bills from bandits
and living in an overstocked bughouse. -
Is History Repeating?
Boiton Trnnirrlpt.
THE Mexican muss is proceeding along historic
lines. The parallel between conditions as
they exist now and as they drove the United
States into war with Mexico in 1846 is so striking
that one can readily understand the belief of
American army officers that whether or not the
administration is determined to avoid war with
Mexico, the issue will be forced. It will be re
called that two of the greatest battles of the
Mexican war, Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma,
were fought before war had been declared be
tween the two countries, while innumerable con
flicts between the troops of both sides had taken
place. By exactly the same methods and with
the same lurid appeals to Mexican patriotism the
Mexican leaders of 1846 sought to unite their peo
ple against the "invader." The same deadline
which Trevino has drawn against Pershing was
drawn by Mejia, the Mexican commanding gen
eral at Matamoros, against Taylor; but Taylor
was far from telegraph lines, and his only answer
to the Mexican bombast was that "the stream
will be crossed at once."
The recent insulting note of Carranza to the
American secretary of state might very well have
been copied from Mejia's proclamation of 1846.
The doctrine then, as now, was that the United
States covets Mexican territory, and that Mexico
to save her honor must expose the breasts of
her citizens to the bayonets of American soldiery.
As a matter of fact the one thing Mexican troops
never have stood up under and never will is a
bayonet charge or a direct charge of any kind
made by determined and well-trained soldiers
bearing down upon them. But the proclamations
hurled against the United States by Mejia, awe
inspiring as they were, were met by bullets and
not by notes. That presumably is where the
parallel would end if President Wilson could have
his way. But all military opinion agrees that the
present situation is getting worse every day, and
there can be no outcome but intervention or
ignominious retreat. In the spring of 1846 as
finely equipped and disciplined a body of Ameri
can soldiers as Pershing now commands was en
camped on the left bank of the Nueces river,
under command of General Zachary Taylor. To
Taylor, as recently to Lansing, the following
proclamation issued in Matamoros by Mejia was
sent;
"Fellow Citizens: The annexation of the de
partment of Texas to the United States, pro
jected and consummated by the tortuous policy
of the cabinet of the Union, does not yet satisfy
the ambitious desire of the degenerate sons
of Washington. The civilized world has already
recognized in that act all the marks of in
justice, iniquity, and the most scandalous viola
tion of the rights of nations. Indelible is the
stain that will forever darken the character of
virtue falsely attributed to the people of the
United States, and posterity will regard with
horror their perfidious conduct and immorality of
the means employed by them to carry into effect
that most degrading depredation. The right of
conquest has always been against humanity, but
nations, jealous lot their dignity and reputation,
have endeavored at least to cover it by the
splendor of arms and the prestige of victory. To
the United States it has been reserved to put in
practice dissimulation, fraud, and the basest
treachery in order to obtain possession, in the
midst of peace, of the territory of a friendly
nation, which generously relied upon the faith of
promises and the solemnity of treaties.
"The cabinet of the United States does not,
however, stop in its career of usurpation. Not
only does it aspire to the possession of the de
partment of Texas, but it covets also the regions
on the left bank of the Rio Bravo del Norte (Rio
Grande). Its army, hitherto for some time sta
tioned at Corpus Christi, is now advancing to take
possession of a large part of Tamaulipas, and its
vanguard has arrived at the Arroyo Colorado,
distant eighteen leagues from this place.
"If the banks of the Panuco have been im
mortalized by the defeat of an enemy, respectable
and worthy of the valor of Mexico, those of the
Bravo shall witness the ignominy of the proud
sons of the north, and its deep water shall serve
as the sepulchre of those who dare approach it.
The flame of patriotism which burns in our hearts
will receive new fuel from the odious presence of
the conquerors, and the cry- of Lores and Igualo
shall be re-echoed with harmony in our ears, when
we take up our march to oppose our naked breasts
to the rifles of the hunters of the Mississippi.
' "Until the long-looked-for day shall arrive,
when we enter upon the great campaign for the
reconquest of the territory of which we have been
despoiled, and to carry our eagles in triumph to
the banks of the Sabine, we who have the glory
to be 'in front of the invaders must serve as an
impenetrable barrier."
. This communication was brought by Captain
D. Jose Barragon, chief of squadron, who crossed
the stream to confer with General Taylor and
reiterated, as did Trevino in his telegram to
Pershing, that the Mexicans had peremptory
orders to fire upon his soldiers if they attempted
to cross and that the passage of the stream would
be considered a declaration of war. Taylor's
only reply to the Mexican threat was to cross the
stream, which he did without opposition. From
then on the campaign was continued. The Mexi
cans were defeated in every important engage
ment, the only instance of an approximately even
contest being the battle of Molina del Rey, and
a little more than a year later General Winfield
Scott captured the city of Mexico with only about
8,000 men. .-, .
Aimed "at Omaha
Tecumseh Chieftain: The Omaha Bee says
the Nebraska democrats occupied two trains on
the way to St. Louis to avoid the risk of getting
their knives crossed. Safety first.
Kearney Hub: A woman school teacher in
Omaha is being sharply criticised for telling her
students that the flag is merely a "piece of bunt
ing," a very careless expression after making al
lowance for her excuse that she did not mean it
in the sense that it was taken.
Gering Courier: A man at Omaha filed a
claim for services as pallbearer against an estate
the other day. He earned the money all right,
but to the credit of the great American people be
it said that this is the first time we ever heard
of a man wanting pay for it.
Fairbury News: We see by the advertise
ments in the papers and we always read them
that a firm in Omaha is making a beer without
any alcohol in it. Well it might make a hit in
Fairbury, York, Beatrice and a few smaller
towns, but it would never, never do for home
consumption.
Blair Enterterprise: The Omaha Bee reached
the forty-fifth year of its existence the 19th mst.
The Bee of today is quite different from the
12x18 single sheet issue of that time, circulated
gratuitously by Edward Rosewater during the
days of the impeachment trial,' at Lincoln, of
Governor David Butler, in whose prosecution and
subsequent conviction, he played a prominent part
as representative in the lower house of the legis
lature from Douglas county. The Bee was first
printed by the Redrields, job printers, in a little
frame building, near the southeast corner of
Dodge and Twelfth streets and later in another
frame building, just south of Redfield's, scantily
equipped with printing material by Mr. Rose
water, who comprised the entire editorial staff
of the paper, news, editorial and local writer.
Subsequently the office was removed to Farnam
street, near Tenth, new equipment added and At
Sorenson was employed to assist in editorial and
reportorial work. The history of The Bee's
struggles for existence in its early career, if it
could have been preserved in manuscript from
the pen of its founder, would be a valuable con
tribution to Omaha's public library.
Why a Favored Drinking Retort?
Omaha, June 27. To the Editor of The
Bee: Regarding the lale of liquor at the
hotels after hours, if I am not misinformed
the law is supposed to prohibit the sale in
hotels, bars and other place after 8 o'clock.
This law seems to be a dead letter so far
as Omaha fs concerned and in this connec
tion a rather funny incident happened Satur
day night at the Henshaw. The cafe, at 11
o'clock Saturday night, was crowded almost
to suffocation, every table in the room being
filled to its utmost capacity and drinks of
all kinds and characters were being served
without limit.
About 12 o'clock quite a lot of excitement
was caused by the waiters rushing around
to the different tables and hurriedly picking
up the milk colored glasses in which drinks
were served, regardless whether the con
tents had been imbibed or not. The whole
cafe became agog, and upon asking some
questions I was told it had been tipped off
that the moral squad of the police depart
ment was expected to pay a visit to the
Henshaw and that "Safety First" and "Pre
paredness" being the order of the day, the
management thought it would be a very
wise move to clean up,
A little later on the dance music, during
one of the dances, was changed suddenly
from an overture to a national Anthem and
all the dancers joined in the grand chorus,
singing the patriotic air, after which the
musicians carefully stored their instruments
In their cases and went on their way. This,
regardless of the fact that it has been cus
tomary for the Henshaw to continue dancing
until 1 o'clock or later.
What I would like to know is why the
Henshaw was tipped off and why are the
hotels permitted to sell boose in defiance of
the lam If you can In any way enlighten
me in regard to these matters I will rest
under lasting obligation to you.
ONE WHO WAS THERE.
Bankruptcy Graft.
Omaha, June 26. To the Editor of The
Bee: Your comment on the way the bank
ruptcy law is administered is not only timely,
but is also very well directed. Business men
have watched with growing concern the
steadily diminishing returns from bankrupt
estates, due to the inordinate expense of
administering them.
The most directly contributing cause of
this is the delay In settling up the affairs
of the insolvent concern. Instead of pro
ceeding with dispatch to determine the value
of the assets and to adjudicate claims, and
then make the division among the creditors,
promptly disposing of the affair and setting
ail parties to the proceeding . where they
know just what is what, the practice has
been to litigate rather than to arbitrate, to
delay instead of expediting, and accruing
costs eat up considerable sums that must
be taken from the creditor rather than the
debtor. This, I take it, is exactly contrary
to the purpose of the law, which was de
signed to protect honest debtor as well as
creditor, and to secure speedy adjustment
of insolvency whenever it occurs, to the
end that legitimate business be benefited.
In our business we find wore of annoy
ance in having (assets Indefinitely tied up in
court proceedings than in the loss incurred
through failure of a customer. We can
make some provision of insurance against
possible loss incident to a customer's in
solvency, but we have no protection against
the cost of winding up his affairs under the
present custom. Proceedings in bankruptcy
can be speeded up, and thus made less ex
pensive to those who must pay in the end.

New York World: General Obregon is
disturbed because the code duelo does not
apply to the relations of the United States
and Mexico, "in all contests of honor," he
says, "the contestants first take the meas
ure of their arms, in order that they may be
able to fight on equal terms. If the United
States desires to defend its honor, unques
tionably it should take the same number of
men as we have, and equally armed, and fight
on fields selected by mutual consent." But
first let the gallant general call off his
