Basing its action on what it believes to be sound njiblic policy and highest consideration for the safety, welfare and prosperity of the republic, The Bee advocates the nomination of General Pershing as the republican condidate .for president.. f The reason for The Bee's decision may be briefly summarized. General Pershing is all American in every aspiration and achievement His executive and administrative qualities (are of the sort that win for a president public ap proval and, admiration. . The temptations and allurements of commanding power hav neither unsettled nor impalreti his natural endowment of strong, practical common sense. His career has been a steady and well balanced growth in capacity, truthworthiness and achievement. Grave responsibilities he has met with! a clear head and unremitting industry. His dignity, modesty an'd unfaltering determination to qe of service to' his country regardless of all things else, have won him the admiration of -a people never unappreciative of its distinguished "mili tary leaders. ' Americans who fight for their country have always had the grateful recogni tion of their countrymen. .From General Wash ington down "first in war" has meant "first in peace" in our political hfe. The soldier .whose genius wins a war to save our national institu tions from aggression,, may always safely be trusted in time, of peace. There is another consideration of minor imp jrtance to the country at large, but l strong appeal to Nebras,kans which has influenced The Bee. It is the, fact that Nebraska is the general's home. ' The successful head, of our army in trie greatest" of all wars, cannot be looked upon with disfavor by the patriotic sons and daughters of hi "home state." Such a sentiment would b singularly contrary to all' American precedent, , . The final and conclusive influences in The Bee's decision are General Pershing's, demon strated ability and willingness to work har moniously with and through other men, to sink his personal ambitions for the general good, arid to choose the right man in every crisis. ' He did all these 'things in France, and may be trusted to do them in the White House. , When English, French, Belgians and Italians were losing under four independent army organiza tions, it was Pershing who took the lead in yielding authority to Foch the decisive action of the whole war, Jbecause it unified and co ordinated the entire Allied forces under the brilliant Frenchman. The Bee xtrusts General -Pershi honors ll U3L9 VJCUCldi M. CI &U111&, him and loves him for achievements 'of the highest national value. If chose president he may be depended .upon to, surround 'himselt with the Best brains in the republic business professional, agricultural and industrial. The common good will be his indomitable purpose, his goal the highest, noblest and best lives and the greatest prosperity and comfort, honestly earned, for all the people. In the Event of Disability. V ' "Our amiable contemporary must not be misled as to The Bee's intentions.

Signor Marconi's account " in the "Daily Mail" of' the mysteriousvmaniiestaticlns occur ring simultaneously at wireless stations irr dif ferentkparts ofthe earth has caused a good deal of discussion, especially on the point of the pos sibility of their being" extraterrestrial. Profisr sor, Bjckerton, the author of the "Theory of Cosmia Impact," discussing the matter today, said the phenomena were most probably due to solar action. Mt was well known that sun spots are asso ciated with electric discharges of various kinds, some .of them magnetic, and these produce magnetic storms which affect the earth and may have their effect on all kinds of electric operations. Ob one occasion when a very bril liant flash was seen in front of the sun due, he believed, to the collision" of two bodies there was a violent electric storm which seri ously disarranged electrical' instruments, and a good number of operators received shocks. Simultaneity had been noticed between the sun spots attaining their maximum. As to the re currence of manifestations which produced an effect similar to the three dots-f a Morse code, it should be remembered that 'nature was rhythmical, and there would naturally be a oer tain rhythm in the pulsations of the electric force. , . When asked whether Jie thought there was any possibility of the disturbance coming from Mar and being the result of intelligent direc tion, the professor said that he did not ignore this possibility. Personally, he thought that life probably did exist on Mars, and Jre di cussed his reasons for believing that the so called canals are a cultivated vegetable growth. "I think a good many astronomers," he said, "are now inclining to the belief that there is something artificial about those, 'canals. Of course, the whole thing is matter for conjec ture." -Manchester Guardi" , The serious illness of President Wilson has brought forward acutely one of the weak places in our system of government. The constitu tion provided that the duties of the president shall devolve on the vice president under cer tain contingencies. The language of the con stitution .is:, . In case of the 'removal of the president from office, or of his death, resignation or in ability discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolva on the vice president, and the congress may provide ' for the case of the removal, death, resignation . or inability, both -of the president and vice president,- declaring what officer shall then act as president, and such officer shall act ac cordingly, until the disability be removed, or a president be elected. Congress has, provided for the succession, when a vacancy is caused by death or removal from office, but the point of inability or dis ability has never been determined. Who is to say when the president is incapacitated by ill ness, absence or for any other reason tempor arily from ability to dfscharge the powers and duties of his office. Mr. Wilson ; decided he could take the office to France with him, and did. He is just re covering from a serious illness, during a con siderable portion of which he was kept incom municadoi Was he able always to exercise the functions of his office? Whq is to determine this? After having settled on when the disability begins, who will tell when it ends? It has hap pened in states and cities that confusion, has ariseri over the occupancy of the executive of fice, and that double-header governments have progressed for a time. . Such a thing is not im possible for the. nation, and the move on way now before congress to reach something like a definite rule to be fallowed appears wise. It may at least preserve the federal government from falling into the parlous condition of di vision incident to factional dispute over pos session of executive power. Candor and Forbearance s Applying the Prohibitory Law. The so-called revolt in Iron county, Michi gan, looSs like a tempest in a teapot yet it hods a germ that may develop into genuine trouble. A dispute has arisen between local, state and federal officials' over the enforcement" of the prohibitory laws. The merits of the case may be brftught out in time, and are not espe cially important foe the moment. The point is the disagreement between two sets of duly con stituted authorities as to what is to be dohe in the way of suppressing the liquor traffic Such a difference of opinion may frequently arise; al ready in Nebraska we are confronted by a di vision between state and federal, authorities as to the permission to druggists to dispense liquor for medicinal purposes. This will be settled without resort to force, but the principle must be well established- as to which set of laws is to govern. Generally these points have been resolved in favor of the state, where the state law does not directly conflict with or nullify any part of the federal statute. Admitting this, the Michigan case will in due season-be brought to a basis where the law can operate without the support of the armyf George Washington settled the matter in Pennsylvania, Andrew Jackson gave ft new vitality in South Carolina, Abraham Lincoln established the principle per manently, and every president since then has followed his predecessor closely along th,e line of enforcing federal authority where necessary. The same consideration that supported Grover Cleveland, when he sent troops to Chicago in 183 will justify the intervention in Michigan, should the affair go to that point ' , y ' -s s-- - It. is Salt -river that is raging now. Salt creek will not be up until November V ' V . ' ' . ."' '. From the New York Times. "Great Britain. France and the United States agreed upon a plan of settlement for the Adriarf tic controversy on .uecemDer y, Assistant sec retary Polk representing this country. This plan was set aside and another plan agreed upon in London on January 20 between the prime min isters of Great Britain, France and Italy. In the proceedings which led to this agreement the United States had no part According to the latest version of reports many times revised, it appears that President Wilson withholds his assent from the London plan not merely be cause the' United States was not consulted in its preparation but because he does not accept the orincioles uoon which it was based. Sneak ing in the broadest terms and disregarding all matters ot aetan, u may De saia mat me aii ference arises from the conflict of principle which was evident throughout the peace nego tiations. As applied to the Adriatic case, the difference of v principle is this: In demanding control of a part of the eastern shore of the Adriatic, Italy originally set tip strategic Con siderations as the 'basi of her demands. This is the old principle, which has governed, in numerable European delimitations of territory. Mr. Wilson hopes that by establishing the prin ciples of the league covenant as a rule of con duct for the nations, strategic considerations may be left out of account. That, we believe, explains his position. ' According to a statement "officially", made in Washington yesterday, the president in his note or memorandum to the allies informed them that if the London settlement were in sisted on, the United States "might have to consider withdrawing the treaty of Versailles fronthe senate." Thescworjls have been er roneously construed as a threat They arc a formula often used in diplomatic communica tions iwhen( one nation .wishes to impress upon another the gravity of its reasons for taking a certain positioii. It hardly need be pointed 'but that natrons do not threaten each other at that stage jf their negotiations. As we understand it, the president feels that the Versailles treaty in its presenjt form might constrain the United States to xact in support of a form of settle ment in the Adriatic which he does not accept as just and right. In referring to the possibility of having to withdraw the treaty from the sen ate, he emphasizes his objection to the form of settlement and by implication suggests that some amendment of the treatv mismt be neces sary before "it could be accepted by the United oiaics. J. mis is a necessary implication, De cause it is not for a mojnent to be supposed that the president contemplates the withdrawal of the United States from the treaty and the league of nations. ' " - For these reasons and many others it is to be hoped, and should be insisted upon by the people of thenations concernedthat the situa tion which has arisen, critical and delicate as it obviously is, should be treated not as an oc casion for reproaches and widening difference but as one imperatively demanding open minds, patience, candor and great forbearance in Lon don, Paris, Rome and in Washington.. States men are prone to error, as Mr: Wilson has pointed out, and statesmen who have :been long concerned with the complexities and per-J plexities ot a great negotiation may easily go wrang if they yield to personal impulses when they should -be guided altogether by considera tions of the welfare of nations and of mankind.' The people are calm and the questions involved in this matter are not beyond their powers of judgment. The people of Great Britain, of France, of Italy, of Jugoslavia and of the United States are profoundly concerned that "the decision reached should be based upon per manent principles of justice. They are im mediately concerned with the statesmen who are conducting the negotiations should make no mistake, that they be guided by counsels of wisdom, that neither' by utterance nor by act they endanger the relations of amity and trust and good faith row existing between the allies and the United States, relations which promise infinite1 good to. the world and cannot be im paired without, involving the risk of infinite harm. . There is the risk of harm, of very great mis chief 'in the manner in which the truth of this chapter in the war settlements has been per mitted to come so imperfectly to the public' knowledge. In reports current in Paris there has been a persistence in misrepresenting its spirit and purpose that calls for condemnation. There have been mistakes in Washington, in nocent .enough in purpose, but adding to the general confusion. Statements have been made without information and without authority which should no have been made.- The great est mistake of all was in not making a fjill dis closure of the truth when rumor first began its evil work. The surest preventive of trouble in such cases is to let the public know the whole truth. And publication of the note to the al lies would have put a stop to misrepresentation and misunderstanding. That note and the reply of the allies, when received, should be given to the public . forthwith. The Church and the Immigrant Tlje Continent, a.religious ' weekly, asks "Why, after all, is it sb hard to Americanize the immigrant?" He comes to America, it is suggested, prejudiced in its favor. That is what brings him here. It ought to be easy to strengthen .that prejudice and develop a real American spirit. The Continent answers its own question by saying that the trouble is that "the immigrant has not found friends among Americans." There is a large part of the whole case stated in that sentence. To Americanize the foreigner, the American must be his friend, but the trouble is that the real American has failed to be a friend in a majority of cases. The immigrant has been left 'on his arrival to shift for himself as exploited labor or as an improperly related and unabsorbed contribution to the surplus pop ulation in congested industrial centers and little or nothing has been done to'locate him properly and adjust him to conditions best calculated' to meet his anticipation as to the benefits to be enjoyed as a citizen of America.) On the other hand, the enemy of America has been busy fill ing his mind with un-American ideas. As Ihe Continent remarks, "real Americanism is just being friends to strangers," and then jt puts it up to the Christian church to perform this friendly office.) It may turn out, after all, that the manifestation of friendship, the ex tension of the helping hand, the proffer of well considered assistante on his arrival to the im migrant, by the Christian church, may be its most effective missionary effort and its largest service to the country as 'an Americanizing in stitution. But to do this with the best -results the church must get intouch with the immi grant very soorj after his arrival. Minneapolis Tribune. Endorses Th Hm'i Ktnrwl North Plattei Net., Feb. 20.

' Railroad Man Objects. North Platte, Neb., Feb. 48. To the Editor of The Bee: Co you suppose it would be asking too much of the farmers to request them to stop knocking us railroad men and give us a rest for a while? Really, It is getting monotonous to pick up the paper and see where this or that farmers' organization has been calling us pirates and high waymen. It seems to be the sole pur pose of farmers' conventions to knock us In our struggle for a fair living wage and decent working con ditions. Of course they never men tion their agreements to hoard their crops and force us to pay an exor bitant price for them, making high wa'ges a necessity. They talk about their long hours of work when it is a fact that very few farmers average , eight hours' work a day the year round, aa there is very little for them to doi in win ter, and it Is certain that His com pensation for time worked is much greater than ours, as it is a common thing to see a farmer retire after 15 or 20 years, while the average rail roader slaves along until he is 70 and retires on a measly little pen sion of about 30 a month. After all I guess the farmers' big gest kick is that he can no longer hire a man for $1.50 a day and work him 15 hours. x H. M. Style in English.' Omaha, Feb. 20. To the Editor of The Bee: All attempts at gaining literary polish must begin with Ju dicious reading, and the learner must never cease to hold this phase uppermost. In many cases, the usage of good authors will be found a more effective guide than any amount of precept A page of Addison or of Irving will teach more of style than a whole manual of rules, while a story of Poe's will Impress" upon the mind a more vivid notion of power ful and correct description and nar rationjhan will 10 dry chapters of a bulky text book. Let every student read unceasingly the best writers. It is also important that cheaper types of reading, if hitherto fol lowed, be dropped. Popular maga zines inculcate a careless and de plorable style which is hard to un learn, and which impedes the acqui sition of a purer style. If such things must be read, let them be skimmed over as lightly as possible. An "excellent habit to cultivate is the-anaJytical study of the King James Bible. For simple yet rich and forceful English, this masterly pro duction is hard to equal; and even though Its Saxon vocabulary and poetic rhythm be unsulted to gen eral composition, it is Invaluable for writers. Lord Dunsany, perhaps the greatest living prose artist, derived nearly all of his stylistic tendencies from the scriptures; and the con temporary critic, Boyd, points out very acutely the loss sustained by most Catholic Irish writers through their unfamiliarity with the historic volume and its traditions. , H.

I have noticed for the last year how the high cost of- living has been cussed and discussed, and for one can't see any signs of the prices coming down. About once a week we see where congress has donated a few millions to investigate some trust. Has any one ever heard of one of the probes ever convicting any one? I can't see how they can have the nerve to use the people's money in this way. We can't even buy a cigar without pay ing a tax on it, yet they are allowed to throw our dollars away In that way.

So get busy and make some gardening helps that you will find very useful when vthe frost is out of the ground. -Box for Forcing Seedings. A strong soap box will do very well. Draw a diagonal line op each end so that you can saw it down to one half its height on one side. When you finish, you will have sloping sides, and a box that is half as nigh iti front as in the, back. Get an old window pane with the glass in to fit over this box, and screw it on with a pair of hinges fastened to the taller side of the box. Filled with rich earth, this will force seedings like magic. Garden Markers. Holly wood, or some mother soft wood is best for making markers. If you can't get this wood, use strips of smooth, thin lath. Make the markersat least 'eight inches long; ten will be better. Point one end with your jack Rnife. Draw a design on the other end, a quaint little head, a flower or four simple petals, a leaf, or any other conventional design, carving this with your knife. Paint the marker white or green with regular house paint When it is dry, color the design at the top with the cord at F to hold the bend. The bend should be 'enough to tiring the string six inches away fromH. The flying string (A) should be attached to H. Another cord, or be'iy band, should run from J and be attached to the flying string at B, about eight inches away from the kite. After the belly band is in place cut it in two in the middle and tie in a heavy rubber band (C), as sr.own. I (Tomorrow, Hunting Eye visits an army camp.) oil colors.

The Garden Basket This starts as the despised grape, or market basket, and it turns out to be beautiful. Use a fairly new, strong basket; and paint it as you did the markers, white, or green. Then apply a stencil"" design to the sides, and color it as gaily as . possible with oil paints. A pattern of flow ers, yellow chickens, rabbits, or something else of the garden will be attractive.
