These are the days when the temptation to iUuto drivers to speed up is strong and, therefore, muit be resisted with all the more determination.

If so, another of our wordy disputes may settle itself. The solicitude of our democratic friends for : the perpetuation o! the progressive party organi sation is really distressing. They know that re ; publican reunion means certain democratic defeat. President Wilson insists the democratic party is as much the friend of business as is the re ublican Dirty. The best of democratic inten tion!, however, have alwayi fallen far short in performance. i 1 Unless official confirmation is had, the country is billed to regard a the work of the enemy the story that the prohibitionists will march to the I poll to the music of "Oh, How Dry I am. Gen' . sine prohibitionist are not built that way. A record wheat crop is moving to the thresh ers, and corn responds gloriously to the stimulus of July heat The combination of right tempera ture and Nebraska soil promise a bumper contri bution of the staff of life to a warring world. Having frittered away marly three yean and a half, the democrats in congress are now in a terrific hurry to establish a nonpartisan tariff commission on the eve of a presidential election.

Members of the city commission, county board. school board and water board ought to have been compelled to put in a term of service at the treasurer's office during the rush days to pay tax bill before delinquency. .

The message will not disturb the mercury just now. Its mission is to distribute heat later on In that line the barons shine. ' v In years gone by Lloyd George was the most feared and hated of British liberals. In the lory mind the Welshman appeared a veritable political v ogre, combining the menace of socialistic doc trine with contemptuous disrespect for aristoc racy and hereditary privilege. Today the ogre of other days is the man of power in a crisis, leader of leaders, whose will to dare and do transformed political enemies into obedient fol towers. Hit career is a notable instance, of native bility overcoming all obstacles to place and sower. . -. ' People and Events. The duke of Devonshire, who is to succeed the fluke of Connautrht as Kovernor-ieneral of Can. ' sda, is one of the wealthiest of the peers, owning bou( iau,uw acres oi una in tngisna ana ire' ind and half a dozen oalatial homes. Colonel E. H. R. Green, who has become ana of the wealthiest men in America through the inheritance oi the bulk of his mother's fortune, was born in England in 1868, while his parents , were there on a visit. He stands six feet, four i inches tall and weighs nearly 300 pounds.. One " t hie legs is ot cork, tne nmt. owing to sn acci t ;pr. feuf been amputated many years ago. Problem of the Submarine Merchantman. The Entente Allies are making formal protest against recognition by this government of the submersible merchantman. This natural move ment is taking for its basis a purely technicalrob jection, and one that lacks the support of logic. It is argued that a submarine is potentially, if not essentially, a warship; therefore all submersible vessels muit be excluded from immunity as mer chantmen. To carry this out to its reasonable conclusion, all vessels are potential warships, therefore none are entitled to be listed as innocent craft. Furthermore, the United States very recently' determined a dispute in favor of the right of mer chantmen to carry arms for defense against at tack. This principle is capable of easy extension to the submarine, giving it the right to dive to elude pursuit. As to the right of a vessel to change its character at tea, a difference of opin ion exists that is not essy to settle. Germany claims that right, and exercised it at the beginning of the war, changing a number of passenger boats into commerce-destroyers. Other great powers, including the United States, object to the practice. The Deutschland came peacefully on a peace ful mission, and is said to be but the first of a considerable fleet to engage in overseas traffic. It is a new note in warfare, for it does, to quote Captain Koenig, "unlock the seas." A blockade can scarcely be maintained so long as these ves sels are in service. Therefore, the British are especially concerned in the protest lodged. A more interesting feature will be the cargo to be carried hack to Germany. The United States has specifically engaged not to re-export rubber sent lis from British possessions. Private firms have similarly agreed not to export nickel brought in from Canada. Germany particularly wants nickel and rubber. If the Deutichland is loaded with these staples, the supply of the United States will be cut off. The greater part of our nickel comes from Canada, and more than 60 per cent of the world's rubber supply is provided by the British plantations around Singapore. ( 88 ' Hot Weather in th City Council It is too bad that business affairs of the city must be made to suffer because of the climatic conditions now prevailing. Omaha is not respon sible for the vagarious conduct of the weather man and it' bad enough to have, to put up with the meteorological freak that hav been visited on us lately. . Our trials an not to end with this, however, for the democratic brethren of the city commission have seized this as th proper mo ment to stir up things among themselves. With out regard to the merits ef the controversy in any of it angle, dip or spurs. Th Bee sug gest that perhaps Mr. Butler was right when he made the statement that th city ought to take advice of it corporaion counsel, or get one who can be' trusted. And we feel positive that Mr. Butler wa right in asking that th appropriation of $70,000 for additional motor equipment for fire department uses be held over for a little while. Omaha is not suffering because of short age in fire fighting apparatus, although it yet has in service a few horse-drawn hose cart and hook and ladder truck. A to the "welcome" arch, two opinions no longer exist, the mayor to the contrary notwithstanding. It wa a mistake in the beginning, and ha degenerated into a joke, a disfigurement, and threaten! to become a nui- ance. If the weather were a little lei like the sort Kaniai City revel in, Th Bee would urge Messrs. Dahlman and Butler to keep it up, not only for the good of their souls, but to the end that the people might get interested and some real reforms be accomplished. Thrift, Insurane and Pensions. ' Some impressive, if not actually startling, statements have been made lately, under condi tions that bring them to the thoughtful with more Than normal conviction. The Carnegie foundation, in announcing a new plan for a com bination of insurance with Its teacher's pension, touches one of the regrettable characteristic of the American nation. A professor, the founda tion report itatei, will cling to place that pays him $1,200 rather than change to one of $1,500 salary because the smaller paid position carriea with it the promise of a pension at the end of thirty years' service. He does not realize that the difference in salary will pay for a support much greater than the pension provides. It is also set out that the increase in pay does not lead to a continuation of the thrift that would make the desired condition possible.. At the meeting of the National Educational association in New York a speaker itated that "thirty-five out of every 100 widow find them selves in absolute want and only eighteen find themselves in circumstances that could be called comfortable." How accurate these figure are cannot be said, but if thev are only approxi mately correct, they constitute a terrible indict meut of Americans as I people. It Is a result of carelessness, inexcusable because to many ways of avoiding this state are open to the husbands, Compulsory insurance is drastic, but it has its advocates, and it may be questioned if the state, which can compel a man to look after his family while living, may not also compel him to make some provision for the care of wife and children after his death. The Carnegie foundation plan amounts to term insurance for prospective beneficiaries of the pension, the cost to be met by contributions from the insured and from the institutions where they are engaged. This may be a step leading to state insurance, but it his the attraction of point' ing a way that will render widowhood less deso late. Conservation in the Concrete. A veterinarian from Missouri, speaking to the convention in session, here, says that if Ne' braska had had a county veterinarian in every county last year he could have saved swine growers $900,000. Whether the doctor's figures are accurate or not, his statement is significant of the economic waste ever present under our ex isting system, or rather lack of system, and against which w make little or no effort Con servation, expressed In simple terms, means to safeguard against not only loss by reason of swine plague, but from any preventable source. Gath erings of learned men are continually preaching to us, of the need of better ways, but we are very slow to adopt them. It I not because we lack intelligence, but for some reason, difficult td de fine, we do' not heed lessons io plain as that taught th farmer in his experience with disease among his animals. Unwillingneii to adopt bet ter ways of doing things ought not to subject as to the tremendous economic loss involved, but what Moses is to lead s into th improvement? I IQIVW Thought Nugget for the Day. Wisdom dwells in blue skies and broad sun shine and the wide hills and the infinite waters; in peace of mind, freedom, ownership of the earth.

Hm fttrtMt Hallway Company. Omaha. July 11. To tht Editor of Tha Baa i Parhaoi a ttlaiB lUttmmt of the facts miy be in order in connection with the recent action of tht city council frant fni to the Omaha and Council Bluff Street Railway company a permit to construct street ear tracks on North Twenty-iourin street alone; the east side of Miller park and through the Minnelusa addition. The buildinr of this extension will not in any manner Increase the earnings of the street railway company. Like all new extensions hich have been mada by this company during tha last ten years, this will cost a lane sum and will add to the expense of operation, but will produce no additional in come. From a selfish standpoint the street railway company would be much better off if they did not make this or other exten sions of their lines. The company gets the business now, and the benefit in new exten sions accrues entirely to the property own ers along the way. They add value to the real estate and bring transportation facilities to the doors of those who now are obliged to walk several blocks. The people living in the north end of the city petitioned to have the North Twenty-fourth street line extended. The street railway company, recognising its obligation to the city, and regardless of its financial Interests, decided to build the extension and asked for a permit to open the street in the same manner as other permits have been requested for extensions that have been built for the last twenty years or more, but the city attorney came forward with the sug gestion that in granting this partielar permit the street railway company should ba obliged to practically admit and acknowledge by ac cepting It that they had no franchise rights on the streets of the city of Omaha. The first preamble of the resolution drawn by him reads as follows; "Whereas there Is some question as to the extent of the right of the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Railway company to occupy the streets of the city or to extend Its road for that pur pose, etc," Tha attorney for the street railway com pany advined the officers not to accept this permit. The matter became involved In legal discussions, and those desiring the exten sion were about to lose It, on account of these hir-splitting technicalities. The street railway attorney ana us geneiai manager were instructed to accept any solution of tha matter that would not waive or imperil any of the present rights of the street railway company, at the same time to ask nothing from the city that would In any manner affect Its rights regarding the street railway eompany s franchises. The solution was final ly reached by the resolution passed by the elty council on July 6, in which. If any fair minded man will read carefully, he cannot help but see that the rights of the city have been In every manner fully protected. This resolution reads as follows: "Whereas. Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Railway company has rqueated a permit to extend Its double track of said railway from their presnnt terminus on North Twenty.rourth atreM from Kansas avenue to Ida street, therefore, Be xt Resolved by tha City Council of tha City of Omaha: That satd permit be granted eubjeet to the condition that the granting of aid per mit shall be without prejudice to the rights of or worn as an estoppel against tne city or Omaha to hereafter question the franchise of the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Railway company to extend or operate Its street railway Unas upon that part of the Street named In said permit." The Insinuation of some of the agitators who have been stirring up thia subject that tha street railway eompany has sought or is In any manner seeking to fortify Its rights or take any undue advantage of tha city by tha building ef this extension, it ao pre posterous and falsa that It needs no com ment. The officers of tha street railway eompany have tried In avery way to be patient during tha almost continual attacks by irrespon sible agitators for years past. Recently these attacks have been .tha cause of great finan cial loss to tha eompany, for the reason that they have stepped the sale of street railway securities and have materially impaired tha credit of the company. While thara is not the least foundation for tha statement that the eity is about to take away from tha eompany a large part of Its property, yet this statement, given credence by news papers and official acts, has been sufficient to alarm security holders to eueh an extant that the stocks and bonds of tha company have depreciated In value several hundred thousand dollars during the last six months. No good and much harm can be accomplished by tha continual agitation of this subject Tha agitators cannot construct a slngla foot of street ear tracks In this eity ; they may ba able to prevent the street ear eompany from constructing any tracks for many years to come.
