The Cieeh language, the official use of which
has been suppressed by an imperial Austrian de
cree, is the richest and most developed, but at the
same time the harshest and strongest (owing to
its abounding in consonants) of the Slavonic
tongue.
A Belgian postoffice ha been established at Le
Havre. France, whence lettera are addressed with
.Belgian stamps, which are in great request among
tamp collectors, because of the legal postmark
of a French town on s foreign stamp, which is
quite out of the ordinary. .
An Interesting German association of the pros-
fective new American possessions in the West

time, at the end of the seventeenth century, con
trolled by the Brandenburg company, of which the
elector ei oranaenourg waa the cnief director.
Plana for the New Navy.
Experience teaches a dear school, and the
democrats have therein learned a valuable, but
costly, leason in regard to the needs of the navy.
While approving the general scope of the plan
endorsed by congress for a construction pro
gram, it is neither captious nor partisan to point
out that the belated activity along this line will
cost the United States a considerable sum. In
the first place, the naval program could not have
been carried through without the active assist
ance and support of the republicans in congress.
That this great program of construction is un
avoidable at this time is due to democratic op
position in the past. That party has' been in
control of the house for the last five years, and
has in that time absolutely refused to make the
appropriations needed for the conservative in
crease in the navy recommended. The presi
dent's party is solely responsible for the decline
of the navy from second to fourth place, and for
the predicament that now is to be remedied by
building ships with material at its highest cost.
Plans are not yet complete, and the report
from Washington indicate that democratic re
luctance to do a thorough job is likely to leave
much to be attended to in the future. The house
resists appropriations' for the improvements of
navy yards, an imperative necessity. On the Pa
cific coast the United States has but one naval
base that will accommodate a first-class battle
ship, and it is entered under the British gun at
Esquimaultm On the Atlantic coast the situation
is also very bad. Provision must be made for
caring for the tremendous dreadnaughts, but the
majority party in congress hesitates to set aside
the money needed.
The work is at last begun, though, and an
efficient navy will in time be provided for, as the
republican party is not likely to permit this es
sential of national defense to languish as did the
democrats.
What the Free Milk and Ice Has Done.
One baby haa gained seven and one half
pound in weight in a month, and' has been
changed from a puny, atruggling mite with the
chances of life against it, into a laughing, crow
ing, bubbling bit of happy Humanity, whoae gurgle
delights its parents, and whose smile rewards the
nurse, all because free ice and milk was made
available. How many times this can be dupli
cated in Omshs doesn't especially matter, but it
is reported from the nurse who are looking after
the administration of. the fund that many babie
are now thriving whose eyes might have closed on
this world during the hot days just passed had it
not been for this source of succor. The Bee is
taking to itself no undue credit for this; it is
merely passing along to the good women and
men and the little folks, too, who have given to
the Ice and milk fund, the confirmation of their
wishes. They have done good, and happiness has
been established where sorrow would have fallen
if they had not intervened. "Even a cup of water
to a little child" has been many times multiplied
here.
' 1 Investigating Food Prices.
All the way across the continent investiga
tion into food price are either demanded or un
der way. The feverish activity of the United
State Trade commission and other agencies
might deceive someone who did not know a cam
paign i approaching, and' that the party in power
had suddenly recalled a pledge it made four years
ago and ha neglected ever since. But the price
of bread and meat, and milk and eggs, and all
other foods is being or to be investigated, while
all sorts of combinations and associations in re
straint of trade are accused of nefariously operat
ing against the consumer. '
Spasmodic attempts at regulation have never
brought relief to the people who pay the price.
Somewhere along the line the ends meet and
form a circle, Prices for steel and coat and iron
and wages and everything else went up, so why
expect the price of food to stand still? It is un
fortunate, perhapa, but it is true, that all prices are
interdependent, to such an extent that an Increase
in cost of one commodity is likely to be reflected
in an Increase in the cost of all. Combinations
and corner undoubtedly affect price by artificial
valuea, and as they Impose an unfair burden on
the buyer they should be prevented; just how
has not appeared, save through the dangeroua
expedient of government intervention danger
ous, because it end is not to be foreseen. '
As. to the value of investigations, residents of
Omaha can easily recall what followed here after
the thorough inquiries made by legislative com
mittees three years ago. For the benefit of
those who were not residents then, The Bee will
restate the result of the reports and recommenda
tions: Nothing.
The Good Roads Situation.
The decision of the district court, adverse to
the validity of the county road bonds voted upon
last spring, admonishes all interested in improve
ment of the roads in and out of Omaha to take
an inventory of the situation and get together
upon the best plan of procedure. ; '
The road bonds that were submitted, received
s majority of the vote recorded on the proposi
tion, but arc adjudged to have fallen short of the
requisite majority of the votes cast at the elec
tion and, while there i possible room tor dispute
on this point sufficient to go up to the court of
laat resort, there is a serious question whether it
is worth while to perfect the sppeal or whether
the object cannot be more quickly accomplished
in tome other way.
' Another road bond proposition could readily
be submitted at the fall election, though not with
out the same risk of carrying by a majority ahort
of a majority of the totat vote. Then, too, we
are sure to have enabling road improvement legis
lation from the coming legislature, since all the
political parties are committed to it and if state or
federal aid is to be extended, there is no reason
why we in Douglas county should not have a
hare for our roads. Otherwise we would be
helping, with our taxes, to foot the bills for road
building elsewhere without sny returns of our
own. :.' " i
There are so many angles to th (ubject h
behooves the different organisations pushing for
good roads to get busy in time and concentrate
their efforts along one and the same Una,
' Admiration for the British parliamentary insti
tutions, while not openly expressed, undoubtedly
grips the soul of the American congress. - Imagine
with what keen joy the tatter would welcome the
British plan of extending the life of parliament
and escaping the worry and expense of an elec
tion. '

Tariff a Solution for Economic Diaaalara.
San Francisco, Aug. U To tht Editor of
The Bee: In tht competitive arena we And
by Investigation that the cost of production
alwari govtnu the eoet of living, and to
compete with a nation or an individual who
has a cheaper method of production than hie
competitor, the reeult is the competitor must
come to the level of the cheaper producer,
or retire from competition, or per ee through
legislation force his competitor by tariff or
otherwise from his, the first named, from
the letter's market.
If he fails in this, the cheaper producer
takes possession of the market, and as a se
quence destroys the worker of the power not
only 'to produce, but the power to purchase
for if one cannot produce he cannot pur
chase. Result : Factories close ; workmen idle, fi
nancial distress, and the first and last analy
sis is demonstrated, general panic and up
heaval. Let us see in a terse manner what the
principle of tariff for protection against tar
iff for revenue (be it high or low) signifies
to the nation, workingman as well as manu
facturer: Suppose it costs to produce abroad owing
to the difference in the cost of living.
Democratic Theory
To produce a given quantity .,,,$1,00
Tariff for revenue, not more than 99
Making ocst to consumer 11.99
Republican Theory
To produce a given quantity 1 1 . 00
Tariff for protection, not less than. ... 1.01
Making cost to consumer ...12.01
Thus we see that basing the figures as
we do on the principle that the cost of pro
duction "at home being $2 for a given quan
tity, quality and all things being equal, un
der the theory of "revenue," the producer
abroad has the advantage on the market of
1 cent, whilst on the other hand the con
sumer animated by profit unwittingly de
stroys his own purchasing power by destroy
ing his home market.
Whilst the difference Is but t cents be
tween a high tariff for revenue and a tar
iff for protection, yet the result is as if there
were no tariff at all (or that the theory of
free trade were in force).
While we have used fictitious figures for
the purpose of easy comprehension, we arc
certain facts will bear ua out in saying that
we have granted to our friends of opposite
theory, the democratic majority, the advan
tage. During President Cleveland's second term
of office (1892-1896) as at the present time,
we had a democratic house and senate ma
jority, and their Ideas or theories of tariff
were put into force. The results were, the
same.
Wide distress, uncertainty, doubt and un
employment and as a sequence all manner of
excuses. It was my province to protest at
that time and again to protest, as I do at
this time, against a theory of economic
which if continued will cause greater misery
than ever. . .
Let us have a senate and house firmly
rooted and grounded on protection for our
people.
When, after the campaign of 1890, the re
publican party again became the dominant
party, it was impossible . to find sufficient
unemployed men to form a corporal's guard,
and so It continued. The slogan of the party
at that time was "the full dinner pail."
And though It was laughed to scorn by
the so-called economists, who offered "free
silver," free trade and a great deal of "free
advice," yet the idle men melted away as
the snow before the summer's sutl.
And the great mass of unemployed 'work
ers, and employed as well, and I am quit
sure I am representing the former by com
mon consent, and many of the tatter as well,
join me in insisting that we have a sane
thedry of economics.
Give to us the right to earn and we
will soon be in position to discuss any
sort of theory advanced by our opponents.
We are tired of the vagaries of hair,
brained enthusiasts, be they "capitalists or
cormorant," and will aoon take our places
among the men who are worthy of respect.
We want protection for American indus
tries nd we purpose marching to the polls
and no more "marching to Washington" and
when we do settle down to our work of build
ing homes, educating our children and pro
claiming to the world the gospel of contin
uity of the republic against all comers.
CHARLES T. KELLET.
Wilson's Usurpation Sufficient Issue.
Silver Creek, Neb., Aug. 10. To the Editor
of The Bee: Your editorial, based on the
attack of Senator Cummins on President
Wilson for his interference in the matter of
the child labor bill, was very much to the
point and much to be commended. The
whole country should ring with talk of that
kind, and if Mr. Hughes tn his campaign
speeches would take up the matter of Wil
son's encroachments on the powers and pre
rogatives of the legislative department of
the government, he would be rendering a
service of prime importance to free govern
ment, not only in the United States, but
throughout the world. By reason of long
service at the bar and on the bench of the
highest court in our land, .no man is better
qualified than he to expose the unconstitu
tional, traitorous work of President Wilson
In his more than three years of ordering
congress to do this, and to do that, and not
to do the other thing; just as though the
congress of the United States was but a
mere instrument tn the hands of the execu
tive; and, by reason of his eminent posi
tion as a candidate for the presidency, his
words would everywhere command the most
profound attention.
As you know, I have been harping on this
very thing of Wilson's lawlessness ever since
he has been president, and more than once
in the public prints I have declared that he
should be impeached. If the present con
gress had had a tithe of the independent
spirit and true American manhood of the
congress of Andrew Johnson's time, he
would long ago hav been impeached and
Incontinently fired out of office. But I now
find profound satisfaction in the conviction
that not long hence the 'American people
will fire him and, 1 trust, with such force
that henceforth and forever no American
president wilt ever again dare to raise a
traitorous hand againat the constitution of
hie country.
The apologists and defenders of President
Wilson are fond of saying that Hughes haa
no Issue. No issue T He has plenty of
them; but, really, what Issue should he
want other than himself T What other issue
should be required of him? Hughes Is a
lawyer and a jurist; he Is able fully to ap
preciate the saeredneas and binding force of
aa official oath, and if on the 4th of next
March it should be bis fortune to stand there
tn the shadow of the dome of the eapitol at
Washington and take that oath to "pre
serve, protect and defend" the constitution
of the United Statee to th best of his abil
ity, the American people might feel per
fectly sure that ha would do it
While I have no doubt whatever what
Hughes would do in the matter, I should
like to hear htm say what, undoubtedly, la
so mueh a part of his being that h might
consider it a thing always to be Uken for
granted, that if elected, president he would
always keep strictly within constitution!
limits, and that he would not under any cir
cumstances attempt to arrogate to himself
"powers properly belonging to either of the
other great departmenta of government. 1
would like to bear him say that as president
he would be content to execute the laws, and
not demand the right to make them ; Z would
like to bear him say that he would be quit
content to be just plain president a servant
of the people, and that he would not under
a self-assumed leadership attempt to exer
cise the powers and prerogatives of aa old
Roman emperor.
Hughes the republican the democrat, ver
sus Wilson the autocrat; that la the issue,
and it is issue enough.

striving to be great,
Some are tolling to be leaders of their nation
or their state
And in every man'a ambition, If w only
understood , Jia
There Is much that's fine and splendid
every hope Is mostly good.
So I cling unto the notion that contented
I will be
If the men upon life's highway find a
needed friend In me.
I rather like to putter 'round the walks
and yards of life,
To spray at night the roses that are
burned and browned with strife j
To eat a frugal dinner, but alway to
a chair
For the unexpected stranger that my simple
meal would ehare.
I don't care to be a traveler, X would
rather be the one
Sitting calmly by the roadside helping
weary travelers on.
I d like to be a neighbor In th good old
fashioned way
Finding much to do for other, hut not
over much to say.
X like to read the paper, but I do not
yearn to aee
What the journal of the morning baa been
moved to say of me;
In the silences and shadows I would live
my life and die
And depend for fond remembrance on some
grateful paaaer-by.
I gueea I wasn't fashioned for the brilliant
thnigs of earth.
Wasn't gifted much with talent or designed
for special worth.
But waa just sent here to putter with
life's little odda and ende
And keep a simple corner where the tlr-
ring highway bends:
And If folke should chance to linger, worn
and weary through the day f
To do some needed service and to cheer
. them on their way.
