Do the people of the country fully realize that only fifty years after the close ai the war which I .erion Davis heloed materially to brinsr unon I s distracted country, the house of representa tives would neglect to honor ths nstion's patriotic 4xad and would laud the career of the moving spirit of the rebellion against the government?

A report comes from Washington that an order has been issued to recruit the National Guard to its war strength. This means for Ne braska, for example, that more than double the number of young men already sent will be called to the Mexican border, if trie state supplies its full quota. General Leonard Wood, reporting to the War department on the mobilization in his div'uioa, the Eastern, saya that less than 50 per cent of the war strength of the Guard has joined the colors, only 41,000 out of a possible 90,000 having been mustered. This is not a fair test of the willingness of the young men to serve in de fense of the country, but may be taken as s meas ure of reluctance to enlist to do patrol duty along the Mexican border. What is back ofjhis movement to assemble a large army along the Rio Grande? President Wil son emphatically says we are not going to war with Mexico. General Pershing reports that a much better feeling exists smong the Mexicans in his neighborhood, and all outward indications are that the worst of that trouble is over. Is an other conflict in sight, or if the movement is the interest of preparedness, and to give the young men training in (he life and work of a soldier? If the latter, the object could be accomplished ss effectively and at much less cost if carried on closer to home. Recruiting for the Guard under the conditions is not going to be easy. Our boys are willing to fight, but are loath to spend the summer drilling in the south. And the people would like to know whst is going on. y A Needed Reform Push It Along. Ths Bee rejoices to see the Lincoln Journal coming out strong for a reform measure which we proposed in the last legislature ae s part of our short ballot program. What we asked the Iswmakers to do was to provide for the Sub division of counties with more than one repre sentative in the legislature and for their election hereafter, one to a district This would give esch state senator or representative a definite consti tuency and further would reduce ths choice, of each voter to one member of the senate snd one member of the house, respectively. The Journal appears to have been brought sround by the un ascapable logic of the present system, which punches the nominations snd altogether deprives the rtrral areas of any place on the ticket and makes geogrsphle distribution of csndidstes sbso- lutly impossible. After describing Lsncsster County difficulties, esys that paper nowt It is only necessary, to avoid this trouble, to have the legislature provide for the sub-districting of legiststive districts hsvin more then one member. This would divide Lsncsster county into six districts for the election of its quota of representatives, giving each sixth of the county s free hand in the choice of a mem ber. In addition to securing ths desired candi dates, this plan would shorten the ballot and ease ths voter's task. Each voter would then have to inform himself as to only one candidate, for the legislature, whereas he hss now to deal with six. The chsnge would be sn especial -boon to Douglaa county, where ths list of legis lative candidates is impossibly long, and would, no doubt result in s vsst improvement in the legislative timber sent np from that county. This is sn easy and beneficial beginning for the. short bsllot . ; Had the Journal and others Interested in legis lative reform lent thelf support when the measure was pending last year, ws believe It might have been enacted, for it wst sidetracked on ths flimsy excuse thst the plan conflicted with that part of the constitution providing that the legislsturs shslt make the apportionment at Its first regular session after esch census enumeration, "but at no other time," as if a reapportionment were being proposed instead of merely a change in the meth od of election, leaving ths apportionment pre cisely ths same. We hops to see ths gext legis lsturs take up this part of the short bsllot pro gram and put It thrbugh and we wslcome ths assistance of Ths Journal to that end. ; - Texas and Its Rangers. A Texan, jealous of his state's reputation, takes too seriously s bit of editorial pleasantry, la spits of its inexplicable sdhersnce to the fal lacies of the democrstic platform, no matter by whom written, Texas commsnda a high regard In ths sanctum of The Bee. When we think of Texas, we think of Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett, of "Big Foot" Wallsce and "Pandy" Ellis, of Sam Houston, snd a host of others whose names are shining lights in American history. We, ss well ss any "longhorn," remember the Alamo, and San Jacinto, and rejoice with all good Texana In their proud possessions. And the Texas Ranger Is recognized hereabouts ss a proud bird, worthy of hit heritage snd willing to make good on any of the traditions of the Lone Star state Next to being t Nebraskan, 'which is about the best thing that can happen to mortal man, the privi lege of being a Texsn should be most highly cherished. The only real regret we have Is that Kansas and Oklahoma interpose between us and ths gigantic commonwealth with whom we would be on terms of closer intimscy snd s more neigh borly footing. This we hsve tried to make plain to all the world by sending a colony of good citi sens to Texas, where they thrive and give a flavor to the life that is certain to come to perfection with the proper blend of Nebraska and Texas, the greatest and the largest of all ths sisterhood of states. ' ' , : Clesning Up on the Careless. ' Acting Police Judge Kubst Is doing a good work, seconding the motion of The Bee thst something bs done to indues the careless sutoist to show some respect for ths traffic rules and for the rights of the simple folks who still have to walk. Omaha's traffic rules ate very reasonable, and eight out of ten automobile drivers find com pliance is esay. It is ths Other two who make the trouble. They either do not think or do not care, and the result is a disarrangement of atreet traffic that is dangerous. The activity of the po lice in bringing these offenders to account is ef fort well applied. . The moderate fines imposed by ths police judge srS simply as reminders to first offenders that they are not observing the taw nor fulfilling their obligations ss citizens. So fsr the lesson hss been tslufsry, for none have appeared In ths column I second time, snd the work is worthy, for it it making ths streets safer by day snd by night - Stronger evidence should be produced before crediting ths complaint to ths State Railway com mission of poor penmanship and ill-mannera of ststion agents., The charge may stick, but, syen to, allowance must be mads for temptrsture snd temper on both sides. In some quarters the old notion that the station agents own the road snd the shippsrs run it, still prevails, snd tims is re quired to plow it under. 1TOI1AV Thought Nugget or ths Dsy.

To tht Editor of Tht Bee: The national convention and "tct-toeether" conference of the prohibi tionists will be held at St Paul, Minn., July 1S-I1. Tho nttitnal aommlttct hat been actively pushlnt tht matter at attendance, and tho etate eommitte at well. Owing to tht fact that .the state of Nebraska hat a dry campaign on tor this fall and that tht prohibition party in tht state decided to put up no state ticket, but put all its energies into tht campaign through the dry federation, tht matter of conventions may bt lost tight of by tht party prohibitionists. Wt havt nominated an electoral ticket, thus keeping the party organisation to touch with the national, and the regular state con vention will ht held according to law, on Tuesday, July is, ISIS. Tht call It for I o'clock p. m., at the Lindell hotel in Lin coln, on tho above date. Each county la en titled to ont or more delegates, and tht pro hibitionists art asked to got together on Saturday, July It, and nominate tht requisite number. These county meetings ahould be held to the county teata. Tht oonventlona will have the usual business of tht party to attend to, hut It will bo utilisad to crcatt at much enthuilaim within tht ranks, aa may he possible, for the dry campaign. The etate committee has followed Instruc tions given last fall by tha prohibitionists and made no effort to raltt funds for its party work, has placed no nominees on tht state ticket other than thott of presidential tleetort and delegatee to tho national con vention. It has turned over Its funds to tht drp federation for use in tht campaign, and to tvtry way possihlt hat aldtd tht worhtrt thereof. It Is proposed to keep up the party organisation, for ao out can fort cast tht futurt and wt must bs prtpartd for any eventualities.

Tht personal aquation of tht men to bt chosen to enact laws to enforce tht constitution It a very vital ont, and tht work ot toeing that tht right hind ot laws art made and tht right kind of men chosen to enforce them, It ae much tht bualncss of the prohibition party at such, as that of any party.
