Oh, not everybody I You mean everybody but our United States senator who has refused to frost for Omaha, although it is his home Comment on Bee Comment York Republican: "Migratory workers" Is good. That is what the Omaha Bee designate the army of tramps that have been bred by the present democratic administration. Migratory workers, indeed) If they find a man on the freight train that wants to work they rob him and throw him under the car wheels. That is the hardest job they undertake. .' . . - Omaha Examiner: That ts certainly an ad mirable cartoon by Powell in The Bee represent ing the departure of the Deutschland underneath the British watchers. The British Lion is shown floating in the water with hia head toward the shore and with the British flag flying from the masthead of his erected tail. Beneath him, deep in the water, is the Deutschlsnd in the shape of a dachshund headed for Germany, the German flag ornamenting' its tail. An original idea well executed. This Is one of the best cartoons of the teSSOn.-' .Vv .. ;rr; . Kearney Hub: The Omaha Bee considers the organization of a State Highway commission the first indispensible step Nebraska must take to be come eligible for the state's share of the federal roads fund. While this is doubtless true the alternative is not especially cheerful i. e., the creation of another commission or bu reau to be a law unto itself and an appendage of ' state government neither useful nor ornamental Nebraska has had bad luck with its commissions and bureaus in the past and while it can not very well dispense with them, the people are un doubtedly in s critical mood regarding the creation of any new ones. Nebraska City Press: The Omaha Bee, com menting on the number of national banks that have become state institutions, think the change is not so much due to the fact that state banks are protected by the guarantee of deposit laws as ., to the fact that the present administration has made it so difficulty for a national bank to conduct its business without bowing to the demands of a lot of fool laws and regulations. Be that as It may, we know that manv erstwhile e-ood-nattireH bankers in this part of this dearly-detoved com- monweaitn nave become suddenly morose and peeved and have oueer (for a banker) things to say about the national banking department Isn't u puisioie mat insieaa oi neiping legitimate busi ness s lot of the rules that hedge an enterprise m are of inestimable harm? Reform for ttnlitir1 sake is not only a disappointment it is a mean dis advantage...: . : Valentine Republican: The Omaha Bee thinks is something wrong with the rale which pro vide that county shall have representation in the stats convention according to the number of votes it cast for the republican ticket in the last national election. ; Hamilton county is thus en titled this year to nine delegate, while Cherry coity, with a considerably smaller population will hare fourteen. Hamilton cointy I said nor maily to cast large epublicaa vote, but four rear ago went astray, abandoned the old party Kid had a case of builaraoose hysterics. A very easy and simple way in which to secure the ptf :t representation at the convention is for re aa to vote th republican ticket whenever if d man is running a was th case four year 3.1. ad quit playing tail to the democratic kite t the guias of populism, bull moosism, or never it may be called. Then there will be no 5r trouoics. .,; , - . ; . V ' ' ' What of the Nebraska Campaign? Nebraska belongs in the republican column and will be placed there this'year if th campaign in this state is waged along republican lines. : The voters in Nebraska, as in all the other states, that went democratic solely because of a divided opposition, fully realize their mistake and are ready to turn to the republican party for -' lief from democratic incompetency, duplicity and extravagance. A republican campaign appealing for support for a republican ticket running on the republican platform and not made "pig tail" to any side issue wilt be a sure winner. It must be frsnkly sdmitted that the Bareback which his brought about the resignation of State Chairman McNish and the necessity of installing a new campaign manager at this stage of the pro ceedings is unfortunate, but the damage is not irreparable nor is there any use crying over spilled milk. If the incident shall serve to emphasize the need of a campaign along strictly republican lines, with as few entanglement with the pro hibition side-Issue a is possible, it wilt prove beneficial rather than harmful for the "wet" and the "dry" may be depended upon to fight out their own battle and should be made to do it in dependent of the party contest The democrats will naturally try to find com fort in every republican controversy. It isiheir play to make a mountain out of every republican mole hill, but they have their own family troubles which are of much more serious nature. Let Ne braska republicans stand shoulder to shoulder and buckle down to business and they wilt again come into their own. Broadening th FUld of th National Bank. Amendments to the federal reserve banking law, just passed by the senate, will . provide means whereby the banks of the United States may engage in foreign business. If these amend ment become law they will remove one of the greatest obstacles to the successful entrance of the United States into the world's commerce. One of the serious weaknesses of our situation has been the lack of facilities to properly finance commercial operations abroad. Machinery for carrying on ordinary exchange with the capitals of the world has been useful in its line, but when It came to dealing with the smaller countries, or With Interior firms, the business had to be ctr rled on through London, Paris or Berlin. Es pecially was this true of South America, where the business was almost exclusively held by England and Germany, because the banks there were English or German institutions. The Brit ish blacklist is made effective because credit on commercial transactions must be had through British-owned banks. The disadvantage of this to th United States need not be argued. American financier understand the situation and are willing to enter the field. Already pro posals have been mad for the setting up of a great bank at Buenos Ayres through which busi ness may be done with the South American countries east of the Andes, and a similar insti tution for th Pacific coast may be expected to come. Under the permission to be granted by congress it will be possible for the bankers of the United States . to establish connections throughout the world that will remove a great disability from our commerce, A greater share of the world' business for the United States ought to be one result of the war, and this assistance to the banks will ma terially contribute to bringing this about. A Clinchsr Indictment In the current issue of the Atlantic Monthly Is an artliele contributed by Meredith Nicholson on "The Second-Rsje Man in Politics" to which we have: already referred and which 1 full of good tnings one of wmcb one should not be allowed to pass unnoticed particularly In view of the use that has been made of Mr. Nicholson' name as endorser for President Wilson. The author Is try ing to explain why the "second-rate men" predomi nate in congress, especially in the lower house that may be called the most typical of our insti tution by citing example : "Mr. Hay of Virginia, chairman of the com mittee on military affairs, not only yielded re luctantly to the public pressure for prepared ness, but established his unfitness to hold any office by tacking on the army bill a 'joker' designed to create a place for a personal friend." This must hve been written before President Wilson, presumably Mr. Nicholson's ideal in poli tics, selected Mr. Hay for a life tenure appoint ment to the court of claim in recognition of "hi unfitness to hold any office." Mr. Hay's direction of legislation affecting military affairs has been a scandal which the president has merely empha sised and accepted responsibility for by his action. This la a case of honoring not the "second-rate man," to use the language of Mr, Nicholson, but of th totally unfit man and of honoring him in such a way a must call in question the fitness of the president who puts a premium on unfitness. Income, Dividend and Management On behalf of the railroad a statement is pub lished that their dividend for 1915 (how a de cline, the rat being but 3.8 per cent on 60.45 per cent of all dock issued. The appearance of this statement at this time It significant but it de serves a little explanation. Dividend of 1915 were largely based on earnings during 1914, which held several lean months for the railroads. How ever, the situation ha been bettered in a very large degree, for ninety-three of the large raiU road of the United States report an increase in net revenues for the month of June this year of $190,000,000 a compared with the same month of 1915. Seventy-two railroads rennrr in detail their earnings and expenses for the month of May, ms, to tn Kailway Age Gazette, and only four show a loss. ' These four have a combined mileage of 1,616, and include the Kansas City & Orient and the Colorado Midland, the other two being obscure lines in the east Eigrjt report a de crease in net Income as compared with last year, the chief among these being th Baltimore & Ohio. ; , - Sine the lean day of 1914 th railroads have been panted a general Increase in rates, and many special increase. In addition many effective economic in operation have been reported, and unless the 1916 dividend rate make a much bet ter showing than did the 1915, the manager of th great rati systems of the United States will have a busy time explaining to the public whera th additional revenue went u-"t4; Consider also child labor; according to the democrat it belong to stats regulation, along with woman suffrage and th railroad. This Is mad lear by the senator from Georgia, where th state legislature has refused year after year even to consider a effective child, labor taw, because the cotton barons do not want it ' rrnnAV Thought Nugget for the Day. No man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude without finally getting bewildered as to which may be true.

To the Editor of The Bee: Protectionist ragardleaa of former political alliance have now united and neat November will caat a protective ballot and that will be for eandidatea of the reunited republican party whoae member all believe In protection for all our peopla and our in duatrlea. For th flrat time in three years I am now an out and out optlmiat for what the future will bring forth, for I now feel and believe that at the November election the protection element will win and control eon greie, and the executive after March 4, 1S1T, and coon thereafter tha preaent tariff will be replaced by a atrong protective tariff on articles our people ean yvovhiee, and labor Immigration will be restricted. About 1, 000,00 male labor immigrant are now among n end all their earning except from S to 10 cent per day are cent abroad to support their, famille. These million will remain (tha war in Europe to no Inducement for them to return) and will welcome stop ping of labor immigration which will atop further overproduction of labor and advance all low wage which wm permit them to aeind for their families as aeon aa peace is declared and ehipe provided to bring the familiea to our United State of America. I believe In upholding any administration In preperlng against Invasion from a for eign foe and to quell unlawful disturbance among our people, but believe the people should eritlclie any administration for vn Justinable acta and not smooth them over aa many are now doing in praising the! president for not Invading Mexico when he ealled out the navy to bombard Vera Cm and then celled General Funston to capture with our army Vera Crus and the adjacent territory under the gun of our battle htp and If thot waa not Invasion then our gov ernment did not invade Mexico during the Mexican war.. Hundreds of our brave sol diers were killed and wounded on this in vasion and aeveral thousand Mexican, Gen eral Pershing and other were ordered to enter the interior of Mexico with our army. After invading Mexico at Vera Cms thl raised the ire of all Mexicans and they favored that all American in Mexico should be robbed of all their property and risk their live by remaining. Our government th last three year has not been honestly neu tral to any nation engaged in the greatest war of all time and the moat inhuman by all combatant. To be honestly neutral in time of war among foreign nation, our government ohould not permit any foodstuff, arms, ammunition or any article of neeeealty to continue and extend war to go to on, batanta engaged In war Or to countries will, ing to furnish combatant, for our govern ment should let the nation engaged in war fight their battle on their own resources.
