Just Where They Are Standing.
No one with ordinary intelligence should have
any difficulty in ascertaining where candidates on
the republican ticket are standing on the question
of railroad regulation and control. The republican
position is denned in the party platforms, national
and state, and these platforms are entirely con
sistent and harmonious. The declaration of the
republican national convention is as follows:
. Interstate and intrastate transportation have
become so interwoven that the attempt to apply
two, and often several, sets of laws to its regu
lation has produced conflicts of authority, em
barrassment in operation and inconvenience
and expense to the public. The entire trans
portation system of the country has become
essentially national. We, therefore, favor such
action by legislation, or, if necessary, through
an amendment to the constitution of the United
States, as will result in placing it under com
plete federal control.
ihe plattorm promulgated by the republican
state convention declares, "We endorse in its en-.
tirety the national platform of the republican
party adopted at Chicago," adding this statement
with reference to the state railway commission
and the progress marked by its work:
While recognizing the soundness of the ex
pression of the republican national platform on
the subject of regulation of transportation, we
call attention to the fact that federal control is
only contemplated therein, after such legisla
tion or amendment-to the. constitution of the
United States is enacted as may be necessary
for broadening the acooe and increasing the
efficiency of the Interstate Commerce commis
sion. We are proud of the work accomplished
by the Nebraska State Railway commission un
der an amendment to our constitution and laws
enacted by republican legislature!. We en
dorse the sentiment of bur candidate for presi
dent uttered while a member of the supreme
court of the United States, that in the absence
of federal action the states have a right to exer
cise authority over transportation within their
Doraera so ions; as they do not unnecessarily
interfere with interstate commerce.
If those interested will study and digest these
platform declarations rather than take democratic
versions of thenv twisted for partisan purposes
they will have no trouble in understanding what
is meant
Some one who has remembered the Dreyfus
case and Zola's "J'accuse" philippic has organized
a society oi democrats under the 'name of Ap
orovins Americana. The ilogan of the society
is "We approve!" We suppose their list of
approbations will include the following:
We approve the selection Of William Jennings
uryan as secretary oi state.
We approve his resit-nation.
We approve the stand of Mr. Wilson in oppo
sition to a national aetense program in ivi.

Great Britain and Neutral Commerce.
Premier Asquith sayi the post bellum eco
nomic warfare planned by the Quadruple Entente
Allies is not to' be waged against neutrals. Just
why he should announce a policy so obvious is
not; clear, unless it be to reassure his countrymen
who are looking beyond the war, and in some
way see the possible effects of the boycott now
practiced under the enemy trading act. The pre
mier admits that the war has opened English
eyes to the extent of the economic penetration
by Germany in its effort to conquer the com
merce of the world. Seven years ago Winston
Churchill, speaking to the Lloyd-George budget,
called attention to the fact that Germany was far
better organised, industrially and socially, than
England, and urged his countrymen to emulate
and possibly overtake "our great and friendly
rival."
England has had one great advantage, that of
an immense accumulation of capital, invested in
foreign securities. This gave London absolute
control of the money market of the world, while
the extent of the British banking system practi
cally put the control of credit into the same
hands. Germany offset thii to tome extent by
using the national credit to tupport commercial
transactions. London, will .very likely be the
money market of the world after the war is over,
but credit; will be released to some extent by the
entrance of American banken into the foreign
field. This will narrow the field in which the
Allies may effectively operate under their pro
posed plan for restricting enemy commerce, but
will not prevent its application so far aa they can
make it effective. . l '
Premier Asquith'a explanation of the purpose
of the Allies is a bland acknowledgement that
the truth of Churchill's criticism Is now felt. But,
how will he square hia pacific purpoae with the
blacklist? And what will he do with neutrals,
who are also ambitious to develop Industrie! and
extend their commerce?

Hughes' Americanism.
The New York World and certain other demo
cratic papers take Mr. Hughes severely to task
because he doea not specifically denounce the so
called "hyphenates" in his speech of acceptance,
On this slim peg they hang high bones of win
ning support for Mr. Wilion, and the emphaiis
the opposition is grving it shows how desperately
they are driven for an issue.
To make their point, these partisan critics
have overlooked every public utterance of Mr.
Hughes since hii candidacy was broached. Hii
commencement talk at Washington, while he wai
yet unnominated and still a member of the su
preme bench, was an unqualified declaration of
Americanism, aound and patriotic In its every
syllable. In Jiia speech of acceptance, almost in
his opening sentence, he declared for "America
first, and American efficient." This epigrammatic
utterance was amplified as he proceeded, and deal
ing specifically with the objective raised by the
World and its coadjutors, he declared "Utterly
intolerable is the use of our loil for alien in
trigue." .
None who reads the ipeech of Mr. Hughei
dealing with the issues before the country, ap
proaching the topic with an open mind, can fail
to be impressed with its evidence of devotion to
the highest of patriotic standards.
Delay Proves Coitly Always.
The Missouri Pacific now comes with a plea
that to make the improvements required by the
city will cost 20 per cent more at preaent price!
than when they were ordered. Who is to blame
for that? The city acted well within its rights
in ordering the railroad company to construct
viaducta over unprotected grade crossings. This
waa met by the railroad with all sorts of objec
tions, requiring finally resort to the courts, al
though similar casea for a quarter of a century
had been invariably won by the city. Since the
final decision of the court the railroad company
has still delayed, 'haggling over details, and at
last coming forward with a substitute plan, put
ting off the aettlement from time to time. All
the while the cost of construction material was
advancing. The delay has already coat the Mis
souri Pacific considerable sum of money, and
may at any moment cost it much more, for the
danger of a dreadful accident at one of iti un
protected crossings is always present
Well, that surely it good one I The accu.

Story-ettt of the Day.
A party of engineers were tracing a township
tint across some farm lands in Illinois. As chance
would have it. the line oassed directlv throutrh a
large barn having double doors on each side of it,
and they found they could continue their measure
ments through the barn by opening the doors and
thus avoiding the dreaded detour. The owner
watchd their progress with considerable inter
est, but made no comment until they had reached
tne urtner side ot tne Darn, when he asked:
Thet a railroad ye-all aurvein1 fer?"
"Certainly," replied the chief, with a humor
ous twinkle in his eve. '
The farmer meditated a bit as he closed the
barn doors behind them, when he remarked some
what aggressively: "I hain't got no objections
ter havin' er railroad on my farm, but I'll be
darned ef I'm going ter open and shet them doors
for yer train to go through r Youth t Compan

Denies Charge and Impugn Motive.
Irvington, Neb., Aug. 8. To the Editor
of The Bee: I noticed an article in your
paper a few days ago signed by Frank B.
Hibbard and several other in relation to
court proceedings of one kind or another
now pending in which it Is claimed that X
am interested, and In which an attack was
made upon the character of the hotel op
erated by me at Irvington. In the first
place, the charges made openly and by in
ference that the hotel operated by me is
used for immoral purposes is absolutely
untrue and is known to be untrue by the
parties who made such charges.
I have a hotel license to operate thia ho
tel, and the hotel is conduced, I might say,
along very much better lines than probably
any hotel in the eity of Omaha. I have a
great number of friends in Omaha who know
that I and my wife are first-class cooks, and
I have made a specialty of serving a chicken
dinner, together with home-grown vegeta
bles and fruits, and have endeavored to in
duce my friends to patronise me. The sole
objection these people have is that my
frinds do come out to Irvington and that
sometimes automobile parties come out in
the late evening, and some automobile par
tie stop on early trips in the morning to
eat at my hotel. There never has been any
disturbance by any of my guests or myself.
Th only trouble that has ever been kicked
up has been brought about through the
malicious interference by my enemies with
my customers at points and place off of and
away from the hotel and the hotel property.
In regard to all these lawsuits it seems to
m the proper place to have these cases
tried is In the court room before the judge,
and It begins to look as- if these articles are
being published to influence the court when
it come to pass upon the matter. Such
conduct I consider entirely reprehensible,
and it seems to me that a good cause would
not require any such conduct upon the part
of the one urging it. A large number of
people live in and about Irvington and so far
a I know the only persons who have any
objection or complaint to make is this gang
of four or five, none of whom live anywhere
near th hotel, and a majority of whom do
not live near the village, but who have
assumed to themselves the right to regulate,
regardless of law, my business, as well as
constituting themselves th custodians for
the community.

THE DAY IS DONE.
Henry W. Longfellow.
Th day 1 don, and the darkness
Pall from the wing of night '
A a feather te wafted downward
From an eagle In hi flight
X th light of the village
Gleam through th rain and th mist
And a feeling of sadness comes o'er ms,
That my soul can not resist
feeling ef sadness and longing,
That la not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
A th mist resemble the rain.
Dome, read to m some poem.
Borne simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall sooth this restless feeling.
And banish the . thoughts of day. .
Not from the grand old masters.
Not from the bards sub time.
Whose distant footstep echo
Through th corridor ef time.
For. Ilk strain of martial mast.
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Life's endlfss toll and endeavor, '
And tonight X long for rest.
Head from some humbler poet,
Whoa songs gushed from his heart.
A showers from the cloud of summer,
ur tears rrom tn eyelids start
Who through long day of labor,
And night devoid of ease.
Still heard In his soul th muslo
Of wonderful melodies.
Such songs hav power to quiet
The restless pulse of care.
And come like the benediction
That follow after prayer. .
Then read from the treasured volume,
The poem of thy choice;
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
Th beauty of thy vole. ,
And the night shall he tilled with muslo,
And the care that In feat tbe day
Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away, .

Things I Do Not Claim
I am not one of those "Great Surgical Specialists1' who
operates on every case because they know not the first
principle of medical treatment. I have no power to look
at you and tell all that ails you without consultation or
examination as some doctors elsim. I claim no greater
skill than some other doctors I know, who practice hon
estly and keep themselves posted. I have no great dis
coveries, and I do not perform miracles, as most adver
tising quacks tell you. THINGS I DO CLAIM: I claim,
after nearly 20 years of very active practice, to be able
to diagnose and treat your case as well as any other
Omaha doctor, no matter what he may charge you. I
claim to treat by medicine and other means most of the
eases that the "Great Surgeons" say only an operation
will help, especially tn diseases and disorders of women.
IT IS A CRIME THE MANY NEEDLESS OPERATIONS
UPON WOMEN. I claim that when you pay your doctor
bill that rou pay double what you should on account of
th book account of th dead-beat. I have no dead-beats or book accounts, as I
do a strictly cash business, but only charge half of what the others charge. Con
sultation and medicine for SI. 00. Examination or office treatment, $2.00. Surgery
prices half also, arranged In advance. You women who have been told you need
an operation are invited to call, medicine and treatment will cure many of you.
Ask any of those I hav treated. Special ear diseases of women.
