The significant feature to us of Mr. Bryan's home-coming speéch at Lincoln is the palpable effort to arouse anew the old sectional issue ori- ginally embodied In his arraignment of the east nearly twenty years ago as ‘‘the enemy’s coun- try.” At that time, of course, Mr. Bryan was preaching his free silver crusade which appealed | to the debtor parts of the country, and made the creditors believe that it meant debt scaling | and repudiation. The east then, more than now, contained the creditor states, and when Mr. Bryan set out for the citadel of the so-called money power, he referred to it as an expedition into ““the enemy's country."” And now in his appeal to the people for his peace propaganda, Mr. Bryan depicts the Alle- ghanies as the dividing line separating the in- tolerant and prejudiced east from the minded wealth producers of the Mississippi val- ley and the west, in the evident belief that he can rally public sentiment here by holding up | & constant rerouting of large numbers of troops and | war material to meet new battle conditions on a front another bogy man from whose rapacity the peo- ple must protect themselves. Instead of dwell- ing on the unity of the nation, and the common interest of the entire people for the maintenance of peace, the covert suggestion sticks out that the peace-lovers are to be found west of the Al- leghanies, and that the states east of the moun- tains are inhabited by selfish money-grabbers who want war in order to fatten upon it. We do not believe the pursuit of world peace is helped by injecting such a sectional issue. There may be a difference of opinion as to the best methods, as. Mr. Bryan admits there is be- tween himself and President Wilson, but we do not belleve that there is any “‘enemy's country" on the peace map of the United States, Crushing the Muscovite. Germany's tremendous drive against the Russians has put fhe army of the kaiser on the #oll of the czar. All the advantage of the pres- ent war now rests with the German. But the resilience of the Russian is as well known to Ger- many as to the rest of the world. The army now driven back will form again, and when the German retires it will follow him. Napoleon's march to Moscow may be repeated, but without the tragic fate of the Grand Army. Crushing the Muscovite is a game as old as modern history; it has been played many times, and by some magnificent military leaders, but each time the Muscbvite has arisen stronger and more capable than he was before his defeat. The 8lav is a dreamer, and his world moves in cycles of centuries, rather than of years. All the peo- ples under the czar have not as yet been welded into the homogeéneity essential to true national greatness, but in the flerce heat of the world war they are undergoing the ‘chunge, and the pounding they are now getting from the ham- mer of German military genius is developing the fiber that makes for bétter co-ordination of na- tional impulse. The Romanoff {s learning from hig war the lesson Napoleon taught the Hohenzollern a cefw tury or more ago—that all faith can not safely be placed in the privileged classes, and that the people must be relied upon to protect their coun- try and maintain its institutions. Whatever the ultimate result of the present war may be, no nation will profit from it more than Rugsia, which s breaking away from medievallsm and is being opened up to the reception of modern thought. Mexican Peace Conference. If the word that comes from Mexican sources is to be relied upon, the detention of Victoriano Huerta at El Paso is bringing results much sooner than might have been expected, It is now reported that Carranza has reconsidered his previously announced intention, and has consented to meet with Villa for the purpose of discussing terms of peace. No secret is made that this determination was brought about by the ar- rest of Huerta. The action of the United States in this case, and the reTueal of President Wilson to meet Felipe Angeles, late Villa lieutenant, has made very clear to the chieftains in Mexico that no advantage will come to either that the other does not share by reason of any action that may be taken by our government. Huerta’'s new ac- tivity is a menace to all of them, and they openly express the fear that the new party will, if per- mitted to go on, 8o complicate the situation that intervention by the United States can not be avolded. Understanding this point, it is also very piain to the Mexicans that if they can now sink their personal interests, the way to peace is open. —— Public and Private Employment. One interesting feature of the European war as affecting America s now develcping in con- negtlon: with the manufacture of arms and am- munition in this ecuntry. Private firms are bidding for mervices at such high prices that numbers of the experts trained by the United States are leaving the government service and entering the employ of private firms, Super- ficial examination of the situation would lead to the ready conclusion that these officers and spe- clally trained workmen are wholly within their rights In making a change of employer, when the change is to their advantage. Deeper thought will bring to view the ethical point Involved. The United States, in training the officers of its army and navy makes a certain iavestment in them that ought not to be entirely lost sight of. To a lesser extent this is true of the enlisted man, and in some degree of the civillan em- ploye. Does not this investment, which takes the form of special care, training in partioular pur- sults, and the development of special faculties, carry with it, if only by implication, an obliga- OPeN- | ot the war, schedule for civil passengers and commercial freight | The Railroads in Warfare The Rallway Age Gasette. One of the big achlevements of the war in Europe has been the handling of the transportation situation by the rallroads. One general has called it a “war of rallroads,’ because of the vast role playnd by them in getting troops, provisions and munitions to the front and on time, the victory being with the army that goes first to a critical point. The oft-quoted remark of Napoleon, “An army s as strong as its feet,” has been adapted to read, “An army strong as it railroads.” Every rallroad man today knows that Germany has been able to keep up a remarkable fight on its two frontiers by ita government-owned military rail- road system, which enables it to shunt the same troops back and forth from one frontier to the other Tt is not known that the French railroads have ren- dered an equally great service in France and at the same time, with the exception of the first two weeks practically continued on thelr regular And all this wonderful work has been done without any noteworthy accident, and it has been done with 0 kilometers (534 miles) long, from the English Chan- nel to the Swiss frontler. It has been done with a decrease of rolling stock in the face of an ever de- creasing coal supply and always with the same or a smaller number of rallroad men. During the critical period from August 1 to 20 last, no less than 1,800,0% soldiers were got to the front | and each of these soldlers was handled three times, #0 that in reality 6,400,000 troops were delivered at | | the required points. While these troops were being moved, while possibly 500000 of the civil populatin were also traveling, while two armies were being hurrried into Alsace and Lorraine to begin a double campalgn to turn the German army heading for Bel. gium, on August 8, a special train was provided to conduct the German ambassador, M de Fchoen, to Berlin. No, there was no pan'c among the rallroad employes, there was no breakdown of the French rallroad system, One musg have seen the handling of an army corps to get an idea of what work these Inoffensive-looking French trains have sccomplished and stiil are accom- plishing. Let rallroad officers who have sweated ovor & 100-car circus movement consider that any hoavy movement of troops is made by army corps and that an army corps consists of no fewer than 29,000 men, all told; and that to boot there are cannon, horses, kitchen equipment, engineers’ equipment, wagons, aeroplanes, ammunition boxes, provisions—enough things to make the moving of a trainload of wild ani- mals seem tame in comparison. It takes two trains of fifty cars each to transport the men of an Infantry regiment. This regiment is subdivided into three battalions of 1,000 men each, and each battalion into four companies. The military eud of the affalr is easy. Get your cars there and the soldlers, company by company, hop in quickly, with- out any confusion, Your cars of Infantry reg'ments are easily got rid of.. But you need an extra 100 cars to carry nothing but the immediate infantry equip- ment—mitraflleuse guns, regiment wagons and odds and ends of baggage. ‘Then you need another extra twenty trains for the artillery of this army corps. Only one cannon can be set on a flat car including its limber. About fifty cars are necessary for each regiment's cannon. Next there must be cars for the horses that drag the can- non, cars for the artillerymen and for all the other equipment that goes with ‘cannon. If the eavalry regiments travel with the army corps, the job is still worse, as no fewer than six trains of cars are nec ry for one cavalry regl- ment. Add to these trains the ones required by the commissary, the' hospitals the heavy artillery, the trench diggers, the bridge bullders and no fewer than seventy trains of fifty cars, or about fifty big circuses are necessary to move an army corps. And the French raflroads, It you please, had to move no fewer than forty-two army corps in twenty days. ‘Twioe Told Tales Had Some Good Points. The Smiths had been married about four monthe and since wifey could more tunefully perform on the plano than on the kitchen range Smith had eaten things that reminded him of Fourth of July punk. “‘Oh, Harry,” enthusiastically exclaimed the wife, carrying in a dish obe evening as he sewced himselt at the dining room table. “I have beea cooking you some old-fashioned crullers.” “That was very kind of you, dear,” responded hubby, taking one of the dainties and neroically be- &inning to eat. ‘T got the recipe from a cook book,” continued wifey, with a pleased expression. ‘‘niow do you like them " ““Well,” cautiously answered hubby, slowly munch- ing thé tasteless crumbs, *‘the holes coulam't possibly be better.”—Philadelphia Telegraph. A Terrible Threat. In a little Tennessee town lived a justice of the peace who had been re-elected for many terms, al- though he was the only republican in the district. At last, one campaign when political excitement was high, it Wwas determined to oust him and pug in a democrat. The republican was frightened, Then he resolved upon & bold plan. The election was held in an old distillery, and before a vote was cast the justice of the peace announced his intention of making a speech. “Feller citizens,” he said, from the top of a barrel, “I've been justice of the peace here goin' on twenty years, an' & good many times I've saved many of you from goin’ to the penitentiary, an' now you're tryin' to put me out of office. But I just want to tell you some- thing. I've got the constitution and the laws of the state of Tennessee In my pocket, and just as sure as ¥you turn me oug of office I'll burn ‘em up—blame me, if T don't—and you may all go to ruin together.'— Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph.

OMAHA, June 30.—To the Editor of The Pee: It 1s a sad thing to see poor, silly people of the twentleth century complain. | they can't live on salaries of 3600 all the way up to $5,000. For fifteen years my salary has ranged from $30 to 38, and 1 have a good sum of money in the lLank, & wife and six children. I manage things on a common sense basis. No foolishness { 1 | Nickels spent on moving plcturss and | | candy and lce cream are wasted, spent on finery s wasted. In my family we have nothing in the way of luxuries—just day food. I do the buying mysel?. C reals, oatmeal and similar foods form the bulk of our diet. We buy one pound of steak a week. 1 have a plece of it every day because I need meat to sustain my strength for my work. Tho rest .f the family do not need meat—in fact, are better off without it. The only luxury we buy is tobacco, and the cost of that comes to only 40 cents a week. \Veo sawe much on buying bread that 's a day cld, thus Increasing the buying power of our money 100 per cent. Cheese I find a &004 substitute for butter and more nu- tritious, as well costing only half as much. It is & very simple thing o valse a family on a small salary if a man just has common sense and doesn't leave the buying to his wife, and sees to it that tradesmen give him a dollar's worth fog every dollar he spends. I have only been in Omaha a year, but I guarantes I have made my money go further than any other working man in the city, and 1 can prove it If neceamsary. A. B. MICKLE. Money Enthuses Over Garden Clubh Work. OMAHA, June 30.—To the Editor of Tho Bee: I note that the fathers and mothers of Omaha extend a vote of thanks to the powers that control the garden club work in the grade schools. Surely it is a boon to parents to know that their children are pulling weeds and nursing vegetables to healthy growth in a gatden plot out of school hours and incldentally keeping weeds out of and nursing to healthy growth thrifty thoughts in the garden plots of their young hearts, instead of running the streets or thinking up wild and woolly adventures (If nothing worse). But most especially must we thank the little man who gets out among these young people and does the work. He is con- stantly encouraging, directing, advising. The children know in him an under- standing friend—not just a name to which they are responsible. All who were fortunate enough to fee the result of the children's efforts as displayed at the Young Men's Chris- tian assoclation will agree with me that Mr. Dale has done a big thing and is deserving of our thanks. Such work as this i{s a blg work and is worthy of the heartlest co-operation that can be offered by parents and busi- ness men in our American cities. Have the children grow up with nature; instill into them the healthy desire to make things grow and the soclal problems of the next generation are half solved be- fore they develop. M. A. B, A PARENT. Protective Tariff in Needed. OMAHA, June 30.—To the Editor of The Bee: If our people desire general em- ployment at good living wages to produce general and lasting prosperity, write members of congress to pass laws ad- vancing the tariff (on articles our people can and should produce, that gives our people employment) sufficient to stop im- portations of these. The old world and the new will pur- chase what our people desire to sell if our people meet competition in prices, and in protecting our people by stop- ping labor Immigration and importations of what our people can and should pro- duce will not deter forelgn nations from buying our goods and foodstuffs and many other articles. If our people desirs that our greatest Industry-—lumber— shall continue, appeal to members of congress to pass a law compelling our government and land owners to grow a certaln number of specified trees for every acre, and if this is done, then, in- | slde of fifteen years the United States will have more and better trees for com- mercial uses than ever before to produce lumber sufficient for our people and re- duce present prices of lumber 50 per cent or more, as every county in every state would have saw and planing mills, and the only expense to the people outside of the prices would be a short wagon haul. 1 favor the highest protection; always have since able to read and understand, on every article our people can and should produce, to give our people the necessary employment to produce general and last- ing prosperity.
