The army appropriation bill, at finally passed by the senate, and in the form it probably will go through the house, carries an item for a council of national defense, to co-operate with the president, congress, the Wsr department and the army, for the purpose of co-ordinating nstional defense. This means the great business concerns of the United States sre to have their full share In plan ning for meeting any situation that may confront the nation looking to war for defense. No other phase of the general problem has been more widely discussed since serious consideration has been turned to the nation's exposed situation. England's experience has been both a warning and an inspiration, and from it we have learned that it is not only in training men for the field that we must make preparations, but that all in dustry has its share in modern war, and so must be gotten ready in advance, or the army loses its efficiency. A referendum vote was recently taken by the United States Chamber of Commerce, through its affiliated bodies in the several states, snd it was practicalty unanimous on the questions submitted. which involved universal military training, and the establishment of a council of national defense. The business men of the United States fully real ize that preparedness means a great deal mors than willingness, and that an immense amount of work must be done before we are really ready. How absolutely unready we were was shown by .the recent call for men on the Mexican border. With the council of national defense properly orgsnized, the problem is simplified, in Its solu tion at least, far the new body will bring in the" service of industrial and transportation experts, whose ability is now but collaterally available. Along with the development of the army will come the adjustment of great factories and rail road systems with relation to their part in de fense, and America will be put on an efficient basis so far as resistsnee to Invasion msy be pro vided for. The move tends at least to put the United states up to requirements in the matter of preparation. , RtdfUld to the Rescue. Secretary Redfield of the Department of Com merce has besn the "talking" member of the president's cabinet from the first, and to him haa been assigned the task of defending the adminis tration from the charges mads by Mr. Hughes. Mr, Redfield has had three years of experience In putting the best possible face on the doings of tht democrats, snd so brings highly developed ingenuity in making of excuses to his present work. His skill in evasion will not avail him, however, for most plausible of his explanations will still leave the ugly fact that the cabinet of ficers did raid the classified list unmercifully In their anxiety to fiqd "places for deserving demo crats." Not all were to frank in the quest as was the late secretary of state, who scorned to dis semble his devotion to the party's appetite for pie, but the record of removals and appoint ments is there, and can not be evaded, no matter how Mr. Redfield "explaina." The New York ttreet railway strike didn't test long, showing that if the parties to It had been as reasonable on Friday as they are- now, no inter ruption of business would have occurred. Southern cotton mills are not the only inttltu tioni given a body blow by the federal child labor bill. The north has s full share of workshops fattening on the toiling lifeblood of children. Herrick and Pomerene head the republican and democratic senatorial tickets in Ohio. The selection simplifies the election and intures a real ambassador to the United States senate. The domain of political prophecy hitherto monopolized by men already resounds with the dutce melody of the suffragists. The chsngc lendt variety to the volume of sound without injuring the quality of the goods. Fifty-three millions for deficiencies in sddition to the biggest appropristions ever made Is quite a mark for the democrats in congress, but the total for the coming year will be almost $600,000,' 000 more than the present year'a record total. The democrat a are great when it comes to saving money, in state or nation. 1 'Pork" and the Red Devil I The united States senate, the "most august I deliberative body in the world," was in session, and the-senior senator from Pennsylvania, who 'i is fitted to speak out of a long experience, waa censuring the democrats for extravagance. He recounted a long list of what he termed waste fill appropriations, needless appointments, dis bursements of the public funds vulgarly termed : "pork." t With the kindliness and wisdom of an elder statesman he warned them that when the country took time to think about the wattefut ap- ' propriations, it would turn in to chastise those 1 responsible ana the chastisement would be ter nble to see. Whereupon rose William Joel Stone, himself fan elder statesman from Missouri, a bulwark i of the administration in the upper house, popu 1 larly known aa "Gumshoe Bill, who allowed that it was not seemly, to ssy the least, in the senstor from Pennsylvania to criticise what wss done in the senate, inasmuch as he put in most of his : time elsewhere then in sttendance on the sessions of the body to which he wss elected. And Mr. Penrose murmured that it wasn't much use for a republican to be in Washington, as the demo crats handled the public business as they pleased behind locked doors. Senator Martine painted a picture of Mr. Pen ; rose dashing through New Jersey in his big i automobile on his way to the aeacoast ,' "In New Jersey they call it the red devil," said Mr. Martine. "The chickens and the doas ree- ognize it and take to cover and the calves seek snelter. : The only feature of composure In the ' whole dreadful whirlwind of eolor and found as it passes through the state ia the Adonis figure ! of the senator reclining in the bsck seat with his f cigar tilted at. comfortable angle. , ' i From which, citizens, it will be seen thst even i the elder statesmen hsve their lighter moments, thai "pork" appropriations are forgotten in apos trophes to touring ears, and that the people of the keystone state should take heed and see to it that the dogs and the chickens are sately outed when the red devil is abroad in the land, Another Angle to the Strike. The four great railroad brotherhoods, by an alt but unanimous vote, authorized their leaders to call a general strike if concessions asked are not granted by the railroads. Another conference between the men. and the companies, through their repretentstivet, hat resulted in the submission of all differences to mediation of the federal board. Much has been printed concerning the merits of the situation, and any ditcuation of what (nay happen la yet speculative. That great inconven ience and real distress to the public will attend any cessation of operation of the great transpor tation lines is plain. It is also plain that each aide fully realizes the responsibility resting on it. For the rest we must wsit. In connection with the situation reference haa been made to the unusual prosperity of the rail roads, shown by tha enormous increase of earn ings just reported. This is a reflection of the past, and has nothing whatever to do with the future, of which not much can be said. The gov ernment crop estimate for August, given out at Washington on Tuesday, indicates in a measure what may be looked for by the railroads as to ousiness for the immediate future. In this report it shown a shortage of 237,000,000 bushels of wheat, corn and oats from the July estimate. At 1,000 bushels to the car, this means 237,000 car loads less of just these three cereals to haul to market, and that much less revenue for the rail roads. It wit) not matter, that the farmer who has the grain will get a higher price for It; the busi ness is lost to the railroads. It ia plain that the loss of tonnage due to short crops will be accompanied by a lota due to the limited sale of merchandise. How much thit will be cannot even be guested at now, but the rail road managtrt of the country have a problem before them quite at big at that of the wage in crease, and that ia how to keep their earninga up to the dividend mark in the face of lets business. nrrnav Thought Nugget for the Day. Nature has sometimes made a fool, but a cox comb is always of a man's own making. Joseph Addison. One Year Ago Today in the War. Russians oreoared to exacuate Kovno and Dvinsk. , , . Turkish army of 90,000 defeated and driven back into Armenia by the Russians. Allies invaded Turkey, landing at Karachal, Thrace, north of Gulf of Saros.

A meeting was held at St. George's hall for the purpose of forming a lodge of the order of the Sons of St. George; The meeting was called to order by R. Y. Martin. Mr. Henry Livesey was elected president and Mr. Adams, secretary. Nebraska's Crop Prospects, The August erop estimate from the Depart ment of Agriculture puts the Nebraska wheat yield a little lower than that of 191 S, but large enough to retain for the stste its position ss sec end winter wheat producer in the country. A Slight reduction from the final estimate of 1915 on corn is also noted for the present year, while oats shows an increase and hay Is off a little. In plain words, Nebraska ia to have a normal yield of its principal crops, and the advance in prices will more than offset the reduction in yield from last year's bumper figures. Farm values of the pro duce for the year will run high into the hundreds of millions, making certain of another year of great prosperity for the people of the state. When the vslue of the live stock and dairy products are added to the other farm output, the lea of Ne braska becomes such at mutt be envied by the less fortunate atatea of the union. The value to a community of having a staunch friend at the railroad eourt ia shown at Kansas City in a tubstantial manner.

Morehesd apparently favored the continuation of the policy under which money spent on roads in Nebraska haa been so gener ously watted. Nebraska needs good roads as much as any state in the union, and should be willing to joiu in a general movement to secure the best. The first pier on the Sixteenth street viaduct hat just been completed. The team of greya recently purchased for the patrol wagon are now under the care of Dr. Ramoccioti, and in the meantime Behm't bronchot are doing tervice day and night. J. A.

Frank Allen, agent of the exposition asso ciation, has left to advertise the undertaking among the western towns. Friends of Ed Rothery, who will leave shortly for a trip to New York and Boston, presented him with a costly gold-hesded cane. Over 200 friends were assembled and the presentation speech was made by Colonel E. D. Pratt. The cane was procured at Edholm & Erickson and is a model of the jeweler's skill.

Some few days ago Mr. Canser started an ejection suit against a poor family In debted to him for nonpayment of rent. It was my duty to serve the paper and to forc ibly move this family into tha street. When I called at the home I found con ditions there were pitiable. The father was without work and money, food was scarce, and the family was not possessed of too much furniture. Above aU the mother waa In a delicate condition, and to have attempted to move her under the circumstances snicht have resulted in severe sickness, and pos sibly death. 1 refused to interfere with them and would not think of throwing them out into the street. The father said he would move as soon as he could, which he did in due time. I have always performed my duty as a constable and will continue to do so within the law. But whenever I find each a ease wherein I must compel a poor family to move out into the street in such beastly hot weather, there to endanger the life of a mother, I will refrain from serving papers and resign my position. It's too eoldblouded a proposition, even for a small rent bill.
