You should know that The annual mean temperature of Omaha Is 50 decrees, two degrees higher than Chicago and two de grees lower than New York. Austria will get the "bad news" today. (Fall plowing is a great outdoor sport in Nebraska these days. New York claims lower prices as a result of the food probing. May hit Omaha yet. Lincoln claims to have located a landlord with a conscience. May his tribe increasel New York playwrights have formed a "union." A string by them will bring public relief. The punitive expedition is coming home, but there are fewer bandits in Mexico than when it started out. Make the "home-coming" celebration a rouser. Arrange your business so that every returned soldier may have the day off. Not a case of contagious disease reported in Omaha for an entire week. Who gets credit, the "morals" squad or the state agents? Tucson is again cut off from the world by a railroad strike, which may give some of the old-timers a chance to revive "Wolfville." Last call for swimmers at the "muify" ponds next Monday. After that you may take your bath at home, at "Jeff Square" or go without. Naval officers are said to oppose the disuse of the submarine as a weapon of war. All right, but let us have no more of it on the Jlun basis. , If that Sioux City father is worthy of the - name, he will make the old town lively enough for his errant daughter for the next few days. 7V If your mail carrier is a little late today, do ' not fret, for he is bringing home the bacon and other things the people bought from Uncle Sam last week.

He will get a decision, all right. (.Shortage of sugar is now blamed on con sumers, but they are getting used to being ac cused of bringing about abnormal conditions. However, the cause may be found elsewhere. y Expressed in roubles prices in Russia seem 1 enormous, but hen you recall that roubles are worth about 25 cents a bushel in real money, the figures do not seem unreasonable.

The determination will interest many. Italy's Premier Speaks t r A- h Francisco Nitti, the new Italian premier, , haa given an interview to the Associated Press which discusses conditions and future relations in a way that should bring a cordial response from the United States. Italy did suffer great- Jy in the war, with half a million dead. 1,000.000 crippled -and with a debt of $16,000,000,000, and an annual budget taxing each man, woman and ' child $45. Size, population and wealth consid ered, Italy did more than its part in the great twar and its sons proved themselves in every way worthy of sires whose glory will never ' .ade. As the Globe-Democrat observed two years ago, the Italians will no longer be de scendants, mere caretakers of a glorious past, but will be esteemed for their own fortitude and deathless devotion to the cause of liberty. America and Italy should have the most cordial relations and . their commerce should expand steadily. America has known too lit tle of Italy of the 20th century, but the Italians know America. The premier himself has 'studied this country at first hand and hundreds of thousands of Italy's army had lived and .worked in America. Every American visitor . to Italy has testified to the tremendous en thusiasm shown by vast crowds,. declaring, in their broken English, that they too had lived under the Stars and Stripes and learned to love our flag for its symbolism and our people for their practical loyalty to its principles. Every consideration of sentiment and mutual profit is on the side of the closer relations which the" premier's interview frankly invites. It is an invitation that cannot be de cently ignored. St Louis Globe-Democrat DO NOT FORGET THE "REGULARS." ,. Omaha is planning a welcome home for" the soldiers who have returned front service in the army, whether in this country or abroad. Every man who wore the uniform, regardless of hit grade, is to be an honored guest at this great celebration, and made to know if possible just in what esteem he is held by the people r( fV mmmiinitv Tr it trt ha riirrttlr1 thlH all will not have a chance to take part in this most appropriate proceeeding, but a large num ber of Nebraska boys, including many from Omaha, will be shut out These are the ones who served and are yet serving with the "regu lar army" units. Many of these boys enlisted before the draft went ' iff to effect You may remember that for many days Omaha was right up alongside New York and Chicago in the num ber of volunteers for service. Others were taken into the First, Second and Third divisions as replacement troops, and fought alongside the veterans in their terrible engagements from June to November of last year. Any celebra tion that does not have something for these gallant fellows is not a complete success. While but very few of them can be present at Krug park on Wednesday afternoon, the managers of the affair ought to arrange so that Nebraska soldiers, wherever they are, will be given to feel that the welcome is for them, too, as well as for those who are actually here in body. What About the Mexican Border? Withdrawal of another punitive expedition from Mexico, without its mission being ac complished, lifts the border question into greater prominence. It has been made Very plain that the Carranza government is too inefficient to afford security to Americans; our own gov ernment has done about all it can do, short of intervention in Mexican affairs. Bandit raid border communities, flout our soldiers, and flee in security before pursuit. In the latest in stance the marauders were favored by unex pected and unusually heavy rain storms, but the outstanding fact is they have escaped, and their success will embolden others. The time has almost arrived when a more definite and vigorous policy must be determined upon at Washington. The Mexican authorities must be brought to understand and accept the responsi bility for the outrages, but most of all, must set about to prevent their recurrence. Failure of this will compel some sort of action from this side, no matter how reluctant the administra tion may be to move in the affair. How the World Has Moved. Ten years ago today the world was amazed by the announcement that M. Latham, a Frenchman, had succeeded In flying 95 miles without stop at Rheims. This far outstripped the utmost endeavor of the birdman up to that time, and was looked upon as an epoch-marking achievement. Not the most gifted of the spectators of that feat would have expected that within half a dozen years the air would be filled with flying machines, manned by fight ing men, and that the tremendous issues in volved in the greatest war of all history would turn on the efficiency of the air corps of the armies. Nor that within the decade mails would be carried through the air over a regular route of a thousand miles, while shorter journeys far exceeding M. Latham's record would be so common as to go unnoted. This makes no account of the transatlantic flight, recently achieved. The incident serves to re mind us of the progress the world has made in ten years, and to suggest what another dec ade may bring forth in the way of greater triumphs over the air. Labor and the Anti-Trust Law. Senator Thomas says the threat of the rail way shopmen to tie up the transportation lines of the country is the legitimate outcome of the surrender to the labor unions in 1914, when they were exempted from the anti-trust law. The venerable statesman is wrong in this. The situation is the legitimate outgrowth of the shameless surrender by a democratic congress in 1916 to the railroad brotherhoods, when the Adamson law was passed in order to make sure of getting a few more votes at the fall election. No other act of congress in all the history or the country was ever secured as was this, and none has had such wide-reaching effect on the business of the country. Together with the McAdoo policy of fixing wages, the Adamson law has put control into the hands of the rail way employes, and they are merely exercising a power the democrats gave them. ' The Cum mins amendment to the Clayton act of which Senator Thomas complains, is a mere act of justice. Mr. Ilkini as a Type. We do not know Mr. C. F. Ilkins, whose letter is printed in the Letter Box today, but that is not especially to his disadvantage. A great many good men have lived and blessed the circle in which they moved and died in confidence of glorious life beyond without com ing under the purview of this paper. But Mr. Ilkins is so charmingly devoted to calling by hard names folks who do not agree with him that he must be presented as a type of his class. He does not know The Bee any better than it knows him. He seizes on a single edi torial, the language of which does not meet his approval to call us "mean spirited," "small souled," to insinuate that the course of this paper is actuated by hatred, and that it sneers at Woodrow Wilson because he is a great democrat If Mr. Ilkins spoke of fuller knowl edge, this indictment might call for definite plea. As it is we may reply simply that he does not know what he is talking about. Mexican newspapers are quite fussed up because American troops went over the border without permission. The "sovereignty" of Mexico is not so much at stake as is the safety of citizens of the United States, and the weak ness of Carranza government has made it necessary for Uncle Sam to protect himself. That is all, that is involved. California's governor now has a splendid chance to show, what sort of stuff he is made of. The business of a whole state ought not to be stopped at the pleasure of employers and employes who refuse to make any effort to set tle their differences. A Michigan man who is on trial for murder ing a woman asks a jury of twelve women, fig uring undoubtedly that as men usually acquit a woman charged with slaying a man, the rule ought to work both ways. The Victorious Defeated From' ths New York Times. In the statement made on August 2 by the heads of the four brotherhoods of railroad em ployes demanding federal management of rail roads, they said that - Labor faces a persistently serious situation due to the cost of living and the impossibility of wages keeping pace with the depreciation of money. No fundamental changes are being advanced to save workers from a continual defeat in the economic struggle of life. The railroad employes are in no mood to brook the return of the lines to their farmer control, sirice all the plans suggested for this settle ment of the problems leave labor essentially s. where it has stood and where it is determined not to stand. ' ' The figures laid before the house of repre sentatives by the general manager of the Penn sylvania railroad show that in 13 states freight engineers bow get $4,704 a year, passenger en gineers $4,520, freight conductors, $3,768, pas senger conductors $3,696. The governor of the great state of Texas gets $4,000 a year, the governor of Nebraska $2,500, the governors of Tennessee, Wyoming, Delaware and Arizona $4,000, the governors of Rhode Island, North Carolina, South Dakota and. Vermont $3,000. These, it may be said, are political offices and honors not usually held by men who have no other resources than their official salaries. Then compare the pay of these prosperous rail way men with the average income of clergy men, physicians, lawyers, college professors. These, as a rule, have had a long and expen sive education, collegiate and professional. They have a certain social convention to maintain. They have to have books. Some of them have to have expensive professional apparatus. The great majority of them would regard the pay of these gentlemen who complain of continual defeat in the economic struggle as a Fortuna tus prosperity, as a golden, impossible dream. We will leave it to the school teachers and the clergymen to agree, if they can, which is the worst paid profession. It is believed that the average clerical income is $600 a year. Passing poor on this, the clergyman is called upon to help all sorts of people, "causes" and organizations. He has to educate his children. He has to try to keep a respectable and not too threadbare appearance before the world. The average school principal, let alone the hundreds of thousands of men and women who have charge of elementary education, the most vital of all, who perform in the state a function as momentpus as any, must deem the pay of these railroad 'men an unattainable fortune. To most of them it would mean not only comfort but, in the course of a few years, competence. The public hears a great deal about the fat fees of a few famous lawyers and physicians. It forgets the modest, the narrow income of the majority in these professions. We have seen the average income'bf members of these two professions reckoned at $2,000 a year. By what long, irregular hours that sum is earned in the case of country doctors most people in cities have scant perception. 1 These railway conductors and engineers,' shrewd, intelligent and forehanded men, must feel that to call them continually defeated in the economic struggle of life is a misrepresenta tion of fact. Their labor is well rewarded. They are victorious in the economic struggle. As an argument for administration of the rail roads by the government and the employes, these gentlemen, a self-respecting and respected class, cannot regard themselves as convincing. The Secretary of State In calling attention to the pitiful predica ment in which the secretary of state must have found himself at Paris, nothing could be further from our intention than to add to Mr. Lansing's embarrassment. Of course he could have resigned, but perhaps it was his sense of duty that made htm stick it out, perhaps a willingness to sacrfice himself and even the noble traditions of his office in order to prevent a split in the American delegation. Whether he acted wisely is a matter of opinion; all should, however, admit the goodness of his motives, even though some may wonder how long he will consent to retain his portfolio un der the circumstances set forth in his testi mony. When he succeeded Mr. Bryan in his present post four years ago last June we coupled with an approving comment upon Mr. Bryan's retirement the following appraisal of his successor: Mr. Lansing is not, and will never be, a Root, a Hay or an Olney. His promo tion must be hailed as the outward and visi ble sign that President Wilson intends to continue his policy of acting for the most part as his own secretary of state. Mr. Lan sing succeeds to a clerical secretaryship in which he will have the president as the head of his department. At Paris, however, the secretary of state appears to have been denied even the clerical confidence which his loyalty entitled him to re ceive. Boston Transcript. Aztecs Had Mirrors Crystal gazing and the use of magic mirrors played an important part in religion and wiz ardry in the past, and though almost every na tion had its own method these did not vary "as much as it woud be supposed. Thus while Japan had in her inner temples mirrors whicli only the priest saw, and which were always to reflect the good and the beau tiful for the gods, the ancient Mexicans taught that their God Texcatlipuco had a magic mirror in which he saw everything that happened each day in the world. A real obsidian mirror with its strange tex tile string still attached is in the British mu seum now and was used by the Aztecs and ancient Mexicans for various purposes and very probably for crystal gazing. It is much the same as the other crystals used byso-called "wizards," so far as its shape is concerned. Even in recent years crystal gazing has been practiced, and it is said by those who have tried it that the mirror or crystal seems to disappear into a mist after it has been stared at in co plete silence for a great length of time, and then if ever the visions appear.

Mr. Ilkins Eases His Mind. In Train, Westward, Auir. S2. To the Editor of The Bee: I protest In the Interest of fair dealing against your characterization of the presi dent's answers to Senator Fall's questions as evasive. The word Is Insulting, for It Implies nothing less than to intend to deceive, am win ing to grant that a reply may not meet the actual issue, but to ac cuse any man of giving an "evasive" answer is to charge him with a deliberate attempt to outwit and de ceive an opponent. . Those questions coum not be an swered in detail, following out every implication in leas than a volumo at considerable aize. The presi dent' time is too valuable for such an answer. Mr. Fall has from the first been a bitter personal enemy like most of the extreme wing of op ponentsand his questions were framed so aa to trick and mislead and with a view to gain some grjound for future attack. And so, too, with most of your comments and in terpretative and Insinuating catch words and phrases. You republicans are so blinded by sheer rape and fury that you In a way that you never would act In private life turn everything to put a perverted and mischievous sense upon all that Mr. Wilson does. But you do not have all, or anything like all your own party, with you. I have the satisfaction of knowing of men who have for a long lifetime been devoted to republicanism, even to wnat was once called radicalism, who are as strong for the league as it stands as the president is. You do not believe this, but I know it. And you are actually by your bit terness and mean-spirited talk do ing all you can do to hinder the ef forts of men all round the world Who seek to prevent war and to bring in Justice and right. Of course they blunder, of course they work on mistaken lines, of course' they have their personal weaknesses. Who hasn't? But you carp and sneer, and hate, and are unwilling even to try, merely because the man you loathe is a chief factor in the plan. If I Were not an American for too many generations. I should be sick of my own country and try to evade a set of men who so outrageously use the word "patriotism" as a cover for the merest partisan intolerance and do so with an icy effrontery which. if a moral quality could act physically would bring a blizzard even In these hot August days. Poor, mean-souled creatures, as your whole gang are! Finally, let me good-naturedly cor rect your spelling: It' not "Strass burg" any longer (except in Ger man), but Strasbourg, and it never was spelled with three ses in Eng lish. With a mind somewhat easier I remain, sincerely yours, C. F. ILKINS. License for Auto Drivers. Omaha, Aug. 22, 1919. To the Editor of The Bee: The daily papers seem to be the only source of up-to-date education for many people and then there are many others who don't read the papers or care much about anything except their own personal conven ience, but their attention is some times arrested by large headlines Automobiles have become so numerous on our streets now that without some additional control of the average ignorant or careless drivers, the lives of pedestrians are exposed to unreasonably great risks every time they have to cross a street, and even ' though they use every ordinary precaution; and so called "unavoidable accidents" are occuring daily. Many drivers do not know "the rules of the road" and many more have no comprehension of what speeds mean excepting as indicated on their speedometer. Terhaps if they understood that six miles per hour is nearly nine feet in just one second, that the ordinary slow speed of 15 miles per hour is 22 feet per second, and that the speed adopted by most of the careless drivers of 25 miles per hour is 36 2-3 feet per second, and 35 miles per hour is more than 51 feet per second, they would better understand the danger of colliding with the pedestrian whose speed is normally less than three miles per hour. Of course, "danger of colliding" does not refer so much to the possible damage to their auto as it does to the fact that the life of every pedestrian is just as important on our streets as it would be in Mexico. There are state laws and city ordi nances which might be effective if they were ordinarily enforced and the penalty was a jail sentence. But as a matter of fact, not one-fourth of the auto drivers know what these laws are nor that the courts will Anally hold them liable every time they injure a pedestrian, and re gardless of any excuses they may frame up. Of course, financial irresponsibil ity or casualty insurance companies now shield them, and that is the reason there should be Jail sentences available whenever carelessness, ignorance or incompetence is evi dent. The most practical safeguard would be a law requiring every driver to obtain a license by passing a rigid examination showing both proper knowledge and ability. Such regulations are effective in the east. A. DREAMLAND ADVENTURE By DADDY. "CLOUD LAND." (Prgry and Billy, mada amalt by aylns magic words, visit Cloud Land In aoap bubble balloons.- Aftar llng the Rain bow Princess, heralda lummon them to the court of King Sun.) STlio Court of the Sun. WIFT aa the wind the golden chariot bore Peggy and Billy toward the court of King Sun. And as swiftly the heralds sped on ahead blowing their trumpets, and as swiftly the soldiers of the Sun fol lowed after, a glittering guard of honor. "Why should King Sun want to see us?" whispered Peggy to Billy. Although she spoke very low, Sun Beam heard her. "Because he seeks your advice, most learned princess," answered Sun Beam. "The eagle has told us of your wisdom in ruling Birdland, so King Sun, being In ead trouble, Would have you aid him." That made Peggy worry. She felt very fimall compared to King Sun. She hadn't the slightest idea of how she could help him. And Billy wor ried, too, but for another reason. "Do you notice how bright and warm it is getting?" he said. "It must be awfully hot close to King Sun. Maybe we'll be, burned up." "Fear not," answered 8un Beam. "The charm which made you small enough to ride in the soap bubble balloons will protect you against King Sun's heat, while dark glasses will make your eyes able to stand his brightness." With that he hand ed them each a pair of dark gog- King Sun, in Spite of His Gorgeous Brightness, Seemed Sad and Thoughtful. glee. And he was Just In time, for In front of them loomed a grand palace of such daxzling splendor that their eye wer almost blinded as they looked upon it. Putting on the glasses, Peggy and Billy found they could gaze around in comfort And they found, too. that they were not alone In wearing goggles, for Sun Beam and all the heralds and soldier had likewise covered their-faces. The goggled army made a very curious eight a it swept up to the palace and halted. The herald blew a blast upon their trumpets and the golden gate swung apart. Peggy and Billy alighted from the chariot and Sun Beam led them ; across a court yard paved with gold I pieces and Into the throne room of his majesty, King Sun. And such a room! It blazed with llirht and sparkled with rare gems. At on end waa a throne of dia- monds and seated on this wns King Sun in all hi glory. Hi huge body waa of gold and his head was ilk ; a ball of living nre. rom mm cam darting ray of light which were caught up: by myriads of mirrors and poured down to earth through the glass door of the throne rom. Sun Beam maidens, dressed in fiery scarlet, purple, violet, crimson, yellow, rose and pink, danced before the seat of King Sun. The colors of thair frock shone in the mirrors and were sent down to earth with the Sun's own rays, painting the sunset sky In glowing hues. King Sun, in spite of his gor geous brightness, seemed sad and thoughtful. He did not notice the arrival of Peggy and Billy until his attendants raised a glad chant: "Welcome, welcome, welcome, Wlae and gracious one. Come and eolve the problem Of the Mighty Bun." "Ah, Princess Peggy!" roared King Sun. "Advance to my throne. I seek words of wisdom from your lips." Rather stunned by his glory, Peg gy grasped Billy tightly by the hand and stepped forward. "I am in love," whispered King Sun, sighing like a winter's gale. This was such an unexpected con fession that Peggy giggled and Billy chuokled, And they were not near ly so much frightened as they had been. "I am In love with Princess Rainbow," went on King Sun In his big whisper. "I believe she loves me, but she refuses to marry me be cause she will not hide her beauti ful eyes by wearing dark glasses. And unless she wears dark glasses she cannot come into my presence without being blinded. What am I to do?" That surely was a question. Peg- DAILY DOT PUZZLE OLD GLORY IN TRIPOLI. Fair Play.

I'LL WALK ANU RtflD OUT HERE, ITS COOLER. rTr r f j-.- s - - WDHEDID- Remains of O'Bannon, Hero of 1805, Reinterred at Frankfort, Ky. New Castle, Ky. After nearly 25 years of searching, the ashes of Presley O'Bannon, heroic Kentuck ian, who is believed to have been the first American to plant an American flag in foreign soil In Tripoli 114 years ago have been exhumed and reinterred in the state cemetery at Frankfort. With appropriate exercises the Daughters of the American Revolu tion recently took up the O'Bannon remains and they were buried again, suitably marked, at Frankfort. Mrs. Martha Cochran, representing the Frankfort chapter ft the D. A. It., had charge of the ceremonies which took place in the little burial ground at Pleasureville, near New Castle. O'Bannon was buried in the Pleas ureville cemetery in 1850, according to the inscription, almost obliterated by time and the elements, found upon the small, plain slab marking his resting place. From the fact there are O'Ban nons in Henry county who claim kinship with. Presley O'Bannon he is believed to have been a native of Kentucky. He was in his seventy fifth year when he died. It was at the ancient city of Der na, Tripoli, on the shores of the Mediterraneon sea, in 1805, near the close of the six-year war with Tri poli, that Capt. William Eaton of Alexandria, Egypt, commanding a detachment of 500 men, among whom was O'Bannon, took the fortress. There Captain Eaton called for volunteers to plant the America.! and British flags, and O'Bannon was quickest of all those who responded, and got the commission, executing it, as history relates, successfully.
