Icebergs and Ocean Traffic , ' .
War on land and sea hat not interfered with
one of the' most 'interesting' of International
activities. , This is the patrol of the North At
lantic steamec lanes, by United States' Tvenue
- cutters for the purpose of locating and reporting
on dangerous ice floes and icebergs. From Feb
' ruary to June each year sipce 1912, when the
. . itanic went, down, this service has .been con
tinuous. The dreadful disaster, when hundreds
were drowned and-the -mightiest of all modern
ships was sunk, shocked mariners into a realisa
lion of the fact that they had been dealing too
tightly with the iceberg. Since the establishment
of the patrol the habits of these vagrants of. the
deep have been studied more closely, and what
had been - looked upon - as more annoying ' than
dangerous it now known to be the most serious
menace to navigation in the waters concerned
Icebergs, are not. only .awe-inspiring, but they
t are unstable and .erratic, and .difficult to locate
at night or in a fog. i The temperature of the
water or the sin is no indication of the immediate
' presence of ice, nor does sound give warning in
'-, time td secure safety... The knowledge that dan
. gerous ice exists in certain localities, and that
ships must proceed with' caution through the af
fected xone, is the service afforded by the iceberg
patrol. 1 Wireless reports are made every day and
. ship masters are continually informed as to con-
L ditions, and thus put on their guard are enabled
to minimize if not entirely escape the floating
monsters that have destroyed so many ships.
,, , One encouraging fact in connection with the
patrol is its cost is, prorated among the mari
time nations of Europe and the United States,
and however eagerly the belligerents may seek
destruction of enemy shipping, they have not yet
proposed that this service be abandoned .or that
i control be taken from the United States. '
Farmers and the Farm Loan Plan.
The afince agent for the farm land bank
board says the board wants to hear from the
farmers a person, that it wants first-hand in
formation aa to their experiences in borrowing
money,' and their views at to other matters of
detail in connection with the project It might
not have been a bad idea to have gathered some
of this information before enacting a law which
has been found open 'to so much adverse criti
cism from men who are familiar with the farm
er's actual needs. But it is better late than never,
and the board has come to headquarters for
needed knowledge at last.
What the Nebraska pioneer, who has grown
up with the state, doesn't know about mortgage
loans isn't worth the time it would take to tell
it. None is better qualified than the Nebraska
farmer to give expert testimony from the bor
rower's end of the game. He has run the gamut
from the 2 per cent a month grasshopper period
up to his present high prosperity, has experi
enced every form of shock and gouge known to
the early day money-loaning fraternity, has won
bis way through all the multifarious forms, ex
change and commission on land and live stock,
of harvests garnered and harvests prospective,
and now finds himself generally in the position
of being able to loan money. It may astonish
as well as edify the land bank board to find out
how much of commercial papei from the cities
was carried by the country banks before the fed
eral reserve banks took the jobber and whole
saler out of the dutches of the merciless farmer.
The excursions of the Nebraska farmer into
the realm of mortgages covert about the whole
field, and if he tells all he knows, the land bank
board needs hardly took further for complete
and exact information.
A Volunteered Correction.
The Bee hastens to make a correction of an
article printed in these column! a few dayt ago
calling attention to Mr. Bryan's failure to include
the railway wage force bill in hit enumeration of
the administration'! "ten great achievements."
The Bee'i comment was based upon an advance
publication of the article as furnished by Mr.
Bryan to Edgar Howard under date 'of Alliance,
Nebraska, September 5, as we said at the time, and
printed in the Columbus Telegram, but in The
Commoner, which is now out, the "ten wonders"
have been expanded to eleven through an addi
tional paragraph commending the president's ac
tion as being "on the side of the common man"
and entitled to be approved by the country. The
contradiction between this method of adjusting
an industrial dispute without arbitration or in
vestigation and the method provided in his peace
treaties for adjusting an international diapute by
investigation and arbitration, which he extols ttill
higher, it completely overlooked. : ' '
It it only fair to Mr. Bryan, however, that hit
acquiescence in the force bill, despite his advo.
cacy of arbitration in other fields, and the reason
for hli Inconsistent attitude be stated. . , :
What the Soldier Doei.'
When the Sabbath quiet of the country was
disturbed by an unexpected order to mobilize . the
National Guard most folks wondered what it was
all about. Some still are mystified by . the ex
planations offered by the president, but. careful
perusal of, the advertiaing columns may throw a
little light on the point. According to these in
formants, when the soldier isn't "rolling his Own,"
he is chewing everlasting gum, and if he isn't do
ing that he is taking a nerve tonic, or swallowing
a fizzing drink, or one that doesn't fizz. Then he
wears the kind that won't come off, and always
carries with him the pen that father used, but
does -most of his writing, however, on the one
that folds up. , His waking hours are filled with
pleasant occupations of showing the world how
good and useful are the things the American
manufacturer provides for hit fellow, man, and
hit slumbers are sweetened through the same
means. Philosophers and statesmen may differ
as to the utility of the soldier, but the advertiser
knows what he Is good for. ' , . : , -r "
Bright Sids of the Laundry Ticket. .
The federal census bureau wrests from the
washtubs of power laundries columns of Imposing
figures which lend dignity and financial breadth
to-the humble laundry ticket.' That narrow strip
of the social fabric, too often flouted singly, looms
large collectively and forms an important, part of
the country's industrial literature. ., t "'
Two yean ago the bureau checked up the coun
try's wath, or to much of it at goes through power
driven machinery, and found the unassuming tick
et to be on jolly good terms with big piles of dol
lars. According to the footings. $142,500,000 came
out of the year's wash,-or an average of $1.42 for
each of Uncle Sam's 100,000,000 'family. The
average is not an extravagant sum for clean
clothes, rather penurious in fact, but the bureau
forgot to mention that the original muscle power
in the laundry line continues business at the old
stands, The human factor supplement! power ma
chinery to a large, extent, 150,000 people being
employed in all the laundries under review,
: Bringing an intimate subject nearer home the
bureau shows that Nebraska, thirtieth in popula
tion, ranks twenty-ninth in laundry patronage and
contributed in 1914 $1,517,924 to the country's to
tal. ' The seaton't affect the business materially,
rising and falling as the mercury moves in the
bulb.,. It is highest in June and July and lowest
in February. Throughout the year, however, the
seventy-four plants average 1,303 employes, two
thirdt of whom are wqmen and girls.
" In the five-year period, from 1909 to 1914, the
cash business gain in Nebraska amounted to $320,
000, or 26.8 per. cent It is evident from this
showing that while power laundries keep pace
with general growth, there is no Immediate dan
ger of machinery dethroning the old reliable wash
board. : ;"'. ;!i , i ,., '
; How foolhardy for the World-Herald to bring
up the question of salary-grabbing in congress.
Has it forgotten that when a rott call vote was
had on whether senators should continue to draw
mileage at the fate of 20 cents a mile, or be re
imbursed only actual traveling expenses, Sena
tor Hitchcock "ducked" and is recorded as "ab
sent and not voting," by which performance he
helped to keep the 20-cent graft going? - With
that record ttarlng the tenator In the face, he
thould muzzle his editor as to "salary grabs." '
Census figures show that during the ten years
between 1900 and 1910 the value of farm landa in
creased from $15,058,000,000 to $28,476,000,000.
A corresponding increase took place in the last
five years. The uplift in both land and crops sug
gests that enlarged bank vaults would meet the
situation quicker than land banks.
-By Victor Hoaawatar"
AS A RESULT of the republican primary in Il
linois, a number of men are coming to the
front in whose penonality much interest at
taches. The winner in the contest for the gov
ernor ship nomination is Frank O. Lowden, who
has a warm spot for Nebraskans dating back to
the time when he was head of the Chicago lav
firm known as "Lowden, Estabrook & Davis.
Both of the two junior members. Judge Her
bert J. Davis, who sat for a few years on our
district bench, and Henry D. Estabrook, still a
frequent visitor and with property interests here,
having been formerly leading legal lights at our
local Omaha bar. Colonel Lowden served in
congress a succession of terms and wanted to
run for governor in 1904 when, losing out, he was
salved with the honor of the Illinois member
ship in the national committee. I was associated
with him in the management of the 1908 presi
dential campaign and we went through the 1V1J
convention preliminaries together and need
scarcely add that he has exceptional qualities of
likeablenes! besides his fine legal talents and
general political experience. When he becomes
governor of Illinois, as he is certain tc be, he
will make a most creditable state executive and,
more than that, he will command respect and
exert an influence that the governor of a great
state like Illinois ought to have.
Another winner in the Illinois primary, Medill
McCormick, nominated for congressman-at-large,
is puzzling to some people until they grasp the
explanation that, after the last cemu!, Illinois
representation is the lower house was increased
but the legislature did not see fit to rearrange the
districts so that the two additional members ac
corded to the state have no district except the
state as a "whole in which they are chosen at
large the same as United States senators. Young
McCormick. named after his grandfather, Joseph
Medill, he founder of the Chicago Tribunte, has
been in Omaha icveral times and on one or two
occasions with his wife, who is the daughter of the
late Mark Hanna. I remember particularly a
party which they once took west in a private car
in which he had along with him as hit guests Mr.
and Mn. Nicholas Longworth, Norman Hapgood
and Charles Dana Gibson, when they all stopped
over here between trains on a sultry Sunday af
ternoon. He is a great admirer of Roosevelt
and loyally went off with him as a bull moose but
came back bravely in the big convention last June,
in which he proclaimed himself, after the nomi
nation of Hughes, in a brief speech that was one
of the most telling of all those delivered there.
A lot of old familiar names may also be found
in the returns of the Illinois primary: Floor
Leader Jim Mann was handsomely renominated
without even coming home from Washington to
show himself, and ex-Speaker Cannon, McKm
ley, Foss and Madden are' all kept in the running.
Mr. Madden was on the subcommittee that
drafted the republican national platform and
was most helpful in securing the insertion of the
declaration on citizenship and expatriation which
I was personally looking after. Mr. McKmley
has a large proprietary interest in our Ralston
street railway and waa here in person to buy it in
when it was put up for sale by court order as well
as than once since then. He told a good story on
himself, growing out of his practice, since he has
been in congress, of trying to see all of his con
stituents personally at least once between elec
tions. "I'm a very small man," he said, "and I had
two, or three little formulas for people that I
thought would please them. If I met a man of
small stature, I would shake hands with him cor
dially and tell him how glad I was.to meet a little
fellow like myself, throwing in some casual re
mark, like 'good things come in small packages.
If I -came across a great big man, I would draw
back to take him in from head to foot and ex
claim, 'Well, is that all there is of you?'
"Well the last time I was making my rounds,
I came across a veritable young giant and, after
introducing myself, stepped away and recited my
piece, whereupon he said, "Isn't that queer, Mr.
McKinley? Why, when you met me before you
used those very same words.'"
1 Announcement has come that ex-President
Taft is to go on a speaking tour of the Middle
West which will probably include Omahal I taw.
Mr. Taft in Chicago where he was attending the
meeting of the American Bar Association about
three weeks ago, in fact, had the privilege of
dining with him as guests of Mr. and Mrs, How
ard H. Baldrige. He was in a jovial mood and
looking fine, resembling, with hi! reduced weight,
the pictures we have all seen of him taken in his
early manhood. What I mean to say is that he
looks twenty year! younger than he did when he
was in the White House and acts and talks as if
he enjoyed being care-free. The conversation
turned largely upon Yale, of which he is now a
part of the institution, and about his son "Robert"
and Baldrige's son "Mac," who as classmates and
fraternity men belong to the same crowd there.
I think it will be no breach of decorum to repeat
the retort gallant which Mr. Taft delivered at
parting, in response to his host's warm assurance
Of appreciation of having him with us.
"Oh, no," said he, "the obligation is mine, I
know of no greater honor and privilege than of
dining with the father i and mother of 'Mac'
Baldrige" ,
I am pleased to note the elevation of my
friend, C. D. Traphagen, to the presidency of the
United Typothetae of America, which is the top
rung of the ladder for the boss of a job printing
establishment. Mr. Traphagen was one of my
colleagues on the Workmen's Compensation com
mittee and he is a worker and level headed all
the time. The Typothetae people will know that
he ii preiident , ., . "

EVEN SONG.
Malcolm Taylor, In Now Repcbtta.
Swiftly, O, swiftly descend
With thy silvery music of pinions,
Spirit of Even, and blend
In th eup of thy azure dominions
Wine of the red sun's dying
With milk of the new moon lytns
Pale in the arms of the old.
r .i,,elr 'pnm rVl NIsrKl'a dark l4vT
Foam stars, silver and cold.
And Inflame, them with darts from thy
quiver,
Archeress, goddess and giver.
Gather the day to thy fold.
Thou who dost mingle the light
Of the moon with the gleams of the glowing
Stars In the palace of night.
When the rubied west at thy going
Droops like a withering flower
A lover hath stripped from its bower
Sweet as the muslo and mirth
Of the waves of Ihs sea at their masting;
Rings over heaven and earth
The delight and the joy of thy greeting;
Maiden, sustalner and sweating.
Bring thou the night onto birth.
Low as the prattle of leave,
Or the rushing of rain cm the rsjftsr
Under the darkening eaves
Of the heavens, the Hit of thy laughter
Bounds on the wind aa thou goeati
Caresses alone thou knoweot
(Only thy fingers and thou)
To bestow, I feel as a tender
Garland of gold on my brow,
And a vestment of beauty and splendor.
Guardian, falreat befrlendar.
Swiftly descend to me now.
Haste to the watcher that waits
For the wind of thy wings in their
Open the eastern gates '
To the waters of night In thy fleeting.
Sealing with balm of thy fingers,
The eye of the sun as he lingers;
Slip from thy star-woven dress.
And thy loveliness. Spirit, uncover;
Loose each dusk-rued tress,
And above me on wind wings haves.
