Recrudescence of Pancho Villa.

by reason of the revival of Psncho Villa, whoae
reeumption of activity afforda Senor Carranrs a
splendid opportunity to show hi mettle., A little
vigorous pursuit of the outlaw and th punish
ment of some of his followers will be more elo
quent than many speeches by our peace-loving
president Order can not be reatored in Mexico,
nor aafety established along the border, ao long
as this picturesque and nonchalant murderer is al
lowed to infest the region that seems to be under
his dominstion. His personsl pacification is es
sential to permanency of peace, but It can not be
accomplished, unless more energetic meaaures
than any so fsr sdopted be set on foot for his
subjugstion. If we sre not to war against the
de facto government, we might be permitted to
war with it, to the end that Villa be brought to
book.
A Fre Missouri River Bridg.
The prospective replacement of th Union Pa
cific bridge has rsised anew talk of a fre bridge
over the Missouri river at this point The Istest
suggestion is that the diacarded superstructure
of the Union Pacific railway bridge be acquired
to be converted Into sn open artery of travel
between Omaha and Council Bluffs.
With the desire for a free Missouri a river
bridge everyone can sympsthiie although it may
be open to question whether the trsnsplsnting of
a secondhand railroad bridge will fulfill the ob
ject. The elements of cost, possible location, and
expense of maintenance should all be known first
Unless the proposed bridge could be erected st
a point to fit in with main thoroughfares on both
aides of the river, it could not hold out even
sgainat a pay bridge conveniently located. ,:
. The other possibility is also to be considered,
namely of purchasing outright, for a lump sum,
the toll privileges of the present bridge, con
trolled by the street railway company, and making
It free for foot and vehicle psssengers. This would
accomplish the result much faster and perhaps st
not much greater expense, than the cost of an
other structure, depending upon the amount of
money that would be needed for approaches for
asbridge at another suitable place. '
' ' All this it on the theory that we could readily
secure co-operation for the purpose on both sides
of the river., At any rste, a closer, investigation
and discussion of the subject can do much good
and no hsrm. . ,
Democrats in Masquerade. '
The spectacle of the democrats in congress
posing ss protectionists is one thst should male
the dead and gone saints of the party stir In their
tombs. Ths new revenue bill that has just been
put through the house is so full of republicsn
ideas snd principles thst it can hardly b claimed
ss democratic in anything but name. It atill re
tains some of the tincture of Bourbonlsm, but
in th msin Is so progressive that a large number
of the republicans could essily vote for it becsuse
of its endorsement of republican principles. Chief
among th features of the bill in this regard is
the revival of the tariff commission, originally
provided for by the republicans and in full opera
tion when the present administration came to
power, and killed as one of its first acts. Protec
tive duties, calculated to encourage the develop
ment of new industries, are also included.'
' It must not be accepted that the democrats
hsve taken ud the orlncinlr of nrntertlnn Uim,
of conviction. On the other hand, it is exclusively
a mstter of expediency with them. For two gen
erations they hsve denounced the protective tar
iff as the most iniquitous of all forms of legisla
tion, wnereiore ineir Delated resort to it is the
more Intereatine- aa confession that tnr h.va
been wrong for fifty years st least Their present
revenue Dili is sn admission of the correctness
of republican principles. Disaster, due to free
trade experiment, has compelled the dominant
party to confeas its blunder, and to give the coun
try at least t measure of sound government
' The new revenue measure is also remarkable
becauae of its wide departure from the provisions
of the Underwood bill that waa ao fnlanmalv an.
dorsed at th St Louis convention, snd which is
praised In the platform as embodying the demo
cratic idea of a tariff measure. Th democrats
certainly are at sea.
Infantile Paralysis and Dirt." '
'The epidemic of Infantile paralysis, thst is
causing such' consternation in the east is the
greatest of recent indictments sgainat our com
munal inefficiency. The rllaraaa la t.,.ll..l

of filthy conditions, and the precautions urged
against a are to clean up. its existence is proof
of laxity somewhere. A cure is esgerly being
sought, snd princely rewsrds are being offered to
the scientist who will produce the specific rem
edy to countersct th disease. A far more rational
proceeding would be to remove the cause. Cleanli
ness is possible, but only when sanitary regula
tions are strictly enforced. Th elimination of
yellow fever ahows what may be done. Typhoid,
typhus snd similar fevers may b driven out in
th ssme fsshion. Americana ahouM han th.ir
heads when they remember that American doctors
urove me typnus pestilence out of Serbis, but sre
unsble to meet the onslaught of poliomyelitis
or meningitis in our own land. The shame of our
civilization is thst our magnificent cities harbor
pestholes in which deadly disease csn breed snd
from which the germs go out to mensce th
homes. Omaha is not immune, but is as fsr be
hind in the matter of sanitary regulation as sny
of its sisters, snd the people only are to blame.
s Call of th Harvest Fields.
" No need to complain of unemployment exists
In Nebraska these days. Instead, the state Is
a bussing hive of industry from on end to th
other, snd the old cry la heard: The harvest
is ripe, but th harvesters are few." Great bil
lows of ripened grain wave in the sunlight and
await th reaper. Th call for help is general,
coming from all over the state, and wages were
never so high ss at present It Is not Nebraska
alone, but the whole grain belt finds urgent need
for men. Lsbor-ssving mschinery is plentiful on
the fsrms, but men are still needed. - Reports from
the -harvest in this section arc coming In with
glowing accounts of th yield, making sur a con
tinuation of th growth that baa astonished visit
ors. The call of the harvest fields is th paean
of prosperity, and under its inspiration th indus
trious, thrifty citizens of Nebraska ar marching
to greater wealth and more worthy achievtminta.

Stralfht Talk far Tazaa. '
Kimball, Nab.. July 11. To tha Editor
of Tha Baa: In your yaaterday'l editorial
lun, annaaraS tha following:
"It nothlns mora Important taxes tha
. . i a i .... v nn th MtaloanN
border, a faw ahuaras of slory mlsht bo
pluckad by aucovarlnf tha whereabouta of
tha Texaa Ransora." '
I am not convinced whether tha editorial
writer who Banned tha above desired to east
a alur upon tha Tolas Ransert r merely
wanted to be funny. Let that be aa It may,
t havinc spent six years In aouth Taias,
not toe far removed from the border to be
eome familiar with conditions there and
across the lint durlnf the laat four years,
and balni more familiar wltk Texaa senti
ment than any writer ar ether persoa can
possibly he residing more than a thousand
mUas away, eannot let the article past un
noticed. No state la the anion can honestly boast
rreater loyalty to the national government
than can Texas, and very few sen feel or
are aapable of feeling greater patriotism.
This patriotism may be less deliberate tnan
that of many states and perhepe Is more of
the "'Sre brand" or in flammable eort, but it
It none the less loyal, and rash Indeed would
be the man who would call Into euettlon this
loyalty in pretence of the average Texan.
Texana have reasons for what they feel
greater than the people of any other state.
Ta credit thla statement ana matt be tome
thing of a student of Texas history and fa
miliar with what Texaa statehood, under
present conditions, hat meant to those people
who have gone before and who not only
paved the way. but fought tha battles that
ware absolutely necessary to their such
statehood and their existence.
It is necessary to know what they en
dured, haw they taught against great odds to
free themselves and their eouatry from tha
Mexican yoke, how their brave man were
massacred and haw they Anally triumphed.
In order to appreciate the feelings of those
men. And the Texans of today are "The
sons of sires who conquered there, with
arm to strike and soul to dare, as quick, as
far, aa they." To them the cry "Remember
the Alamo" moans much. It is a ery thet
Mexicans fear as they tear no other. "Re
member the Alamo, remember Ban Jacinto"
would ring throughout all Mexico If tha
ban of red tape waa lifted and tha strings
aut permitting Texaa Rangers to enter with
a free hand.
Taxane do not forget the Alamo massacre,
where the brave Crockett and hie equally
brave eomradae sa valiantly fought against
tha treacherous hosts of the more treacher
ous Banta Anna.
Than, yoa ask, why do we net hear from
these Taxaa Rangers at this time. The ans
wer It simple. Texana are not Mexican
herders. They do not relish border guarding
with little or no prospect of getting Into
notion. They know what life along the Rio
Orasda means during thahat summer sea
son, s
Nowhere la tha anion It publlo nosttment
less In harmony with the policy of the ad
ministration at Washington than In Taxes.
This Is because they know Mexico and
Mexicans better than they art known else
where. Texana are aot for peace today,
war tomorrow morning and peace again In
the afternoon, unless there are-real reasons
for It When Governor Colquitt asked per-'
mission to ssnd Texas Rangers to the border
to protect Texas eitlstns and Texas property,
the almost unanlmoua sentiment of Texans
waa that ha was right. Thay were ready
to furnish the man for such protection, and
there la not a eltlsen in Taxaa but believes
that protection would have been adequate.
Texaa Rangers are not of a nature to sit
and wait until one ahcak la slapped and
than turn tha other. They are not of a na
ture to turn their backs after they have
been flred upon from both front and rear
from ambush.
Mexican conditions are made materially
worse, I am confident, by tha chameleon pol
icy of the Wilson administration. There is
no lack df patriotism among tha people of
Texas. This will be shown conclusively if
the time eomes when the Rangers or others
are needed foraetual eervlee. But Texana
are also sensitive. Having oneo offered their
services to the government for tha vary
service for which troops are now being en
listed, and having had those services re
fused "without thanks," a real aeed must
be evldaat before they agala eoae forward
to risk a second nomination.
Another' article ta tha editorial aohimna
of Tha Bee, sayai
"Xt la up to Texaa and adjoining states
to ahow visitors that their summer resort
clalma are not based on hot air."
From experience, I know there are parts
of Texaa unsurpassed as a pleaoant place for
a home, summer or winter. These places are
aa or near tha water. Unfortunately the
troopa being aent to guard tha border will
not benefit from tha gulf b reeves, but the
most of thorn are going Into a hot, dry
region where they must suffer more or less
from heat and dust. Fortunately there will
bo no malaria or other unhealthy oondltlona
such aa ware found at Vera Cms by the leys
who were sent down to teach .the Orasisars
respect for our flag. Feasibly soma may
recall thla little Incident, and how aaveral
Mexicans and a few of our own boya ware
aaclAced. Also how this government col
lected customs tea a while and eame away
without getting tha eelnte or ao far as is
evident to one outside the administration
taepe, la any way bettering the oondltlona
of tha Nexlaant or oar relatione with them.
