All right, let'i : have another slash in the water rate. ; - Georgia has just passed a law, after years of unsuccessful effort, to permit women to practice ' law. Georgia is a typical democratic state. It is not so much a scarcity of men and ma ' terials that . delays paving jobs.

Aa this is the open season for political fence ; mending, the Kansas congressman who demands f an investigation of the packera is right on the job with popular timber. r ., Why bother further now that Art Mullen has assured the democratic national committee that Nebraska will go democratic by not less than 20,000? It's all over but the salaaming to Mullen. If pur, city authorities want to exercise a real leverage upon recalcitrant public works contract ors, they might establish a black list of contract ors barred from consideration for future jobs. That would make them sit up and take notice! , But the attendance In Omaha's public schools is supposed to Increase at the asm rate as the in crease in population, which wa 2 per cent a year during the lait census decade, and the school growth ha not exceeded thit appreciably on the average.

The fall of Gorilla, aa the Italian call the Austrian city recently captured, brings a series of confusing spell to war new reader. Some map maker spell it Gorix and Gortza, and die patches range from Goritzia, Gortsa to Gorilla. A suapention of the shooting in the city is needed to get the name on straight. Notes From Many Lands Hotel bar throughout Australia ar now closed at 6 p. m. Since the beginning of the war the cost of liv ing in Australia ha increased 34 per cent. Wages of miner in Wale have increased more than' SO per cent since the beginning of the war. New South Wale, according to a report issued by its chief secretary, has contributed a total of nearly $12,000,000 to the various war relief funds. After yeara of negotiation Russia and Sweden have agreed to link up their railway system by a bridge over the Tornea, at the extreme north of the Baltic The growing support of the scheme for a tun nel under the English channel to connect England and France haa led to a revival of the similar projects for linking England and Ireland. . It is just eighty year aince Canada' first rait way was opened. It was but a modest affair, six teen' miles in length, running between La Prairie on the St La wren oe and St John's on the Richelieu. ;. - ; With the object, apparently, of furthering pro paganda of the new German peace committee, a new agency has been founded in Berlin rejoicing in the title of Deutchenachrichtenverkehrage ellschaft' ' 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 ndies is that the ialand of St Thomas wa for a 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.

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. CHARLES WOOSTER. GRINS AND GROANS. "And whore are you from?" "America."
