Prohibition is blamed for the big falling off in internal revenue collections, but this fe not sufficient to account for the deficit The truth of the matter is that a democratic congress made appropriations for the two years just ended that far exceeded any pre- vious record, while the money set apart for the two-year term Jjust beginning touches a yet higher mark in governmental expenditures. Bconomy and retrenchment were promised by the democrats, in event they were entrusted with the control of the national government, | and the deficit is the result. Bxtravagance In | expenditure, rather than shortage in revenue, | is responwible for the treasury’s condition A Mystery of the War. In all the “multitudinous seas” of ink that have been spread on uncounted reams of paper since the first of August last, dealing with the war, Its purposes and its progrees, not one drop has been expended to elucidate a mystery that is daily growing more and more dense. What is Great Britain's navy doing in the North SBea? | The German navy is safely bottled up in home ports, but the merry little unterseebote slipe in and out of harbor at its pleasure, and works Its will on commerce around the British Isles. At the beginning of the war Great Brit- ain was reported to have more submarines than Germany, but so far almost nothing has been | heard from them, save that they are being used for harbor protection. On the Baltic the Ger- | mans have maintained an open lane for traffic with Sweden and Norway, where it might nat- urally be expected that English and Russians alike would be aggressively active in Interfer- ing with commerce, if not actually attacking the German defenses. Curlosity is growing as to what real service the British fleet of submmers- ibles is rendering in the wa We Second the Motion. We notice that our friend, ‘“Met,” proposes | to hold the democratic national convention in Omaha, and insists that existing favorable con- ditions make it perfectly feasible to get it. Now, we do not know of any great political convention which we would rather have to meet here “in our midet” than the democratic na- tional convention, except, of course, the republi- | can national convention, The latter, however, according to the claims made by Chicago, has already been nafled down for that city, which is also hot after the democratic national conven- tion, so we may as well realize that Met's pro- posal Is not to be*uncontested. It stands to reason, however, that this is probably the only plank upon whien the war- ring democrats of Nebraska might possibly be gotten to stand together. It would certainly be a sight for the gods to see ‘‘Met,” Bryan, the Senator, “Brother Charley,” ‘and Colonel Maher | all on the same delegation waiting on the demo- cratic national committee, and .asking in. uni- son for the location for the big cunvonuim ‘at Omaha. \ 8o we second the motion, and stand ready to co-operate with our sympathetic support for #0 laudable an effort to the utmost extent of the influence of an interested republican on- | looker. SEE——— War and the Mining Industry. Secretary Lane has Issued for the first time & mid-year survey of conditions in the mines of the country, a report that shows the revival of mining to be in full gwing. That this is directly due to the war is admitted by each of the sev- eral experts who make returns on the various branches of the industry considered. Coal and iron, principal products of the mines in the United States, are being produced at very nearly the normal rate, with a steady increase in the output of iron ore which will bring the total quite well up to the record figures before the year is ended. Petroleum production is up to that of last year, while the production of gold and silver is normal. In the metals most di- rectly affected by the war demand, a great In- crease in American output {s seen. Spelter has increased in price about 500 per cent since the war began, while zinc {s now quoted around 200 per cent higher. Quicksilver, antimony and tungsten are other metale that have been af- fected similarly and have doubled or more than doubled in price since the begigning of the year. Tin and copper are following the lead of the others. Works long idle have been reopened, and a general activity prevails in all the min- ing regions of the country, while new sources of supply of the metals are being sought, While the prices mow being pald are not expected to continue long after the demand created by the abnormal conditions in Europe have been sat- isfied, the mine owners are coming in for their share of the war pickings. The socialists will help the jitneys in their fight against the street railway, There is no more socialism in the jitneys than there is in the street railway—probably less, according to the soclalistic doctrine that would concentrate control of productivé property, and then have the government take it over. But, as a famous statesman once declared, it is a condition, and not a theory, that confronts u S—— Does the fact that sixteen national banks have changed to state banks in Nebraska during the lust year mean that state bank charters are more popular? Perhaps, but only by compari- son. It is proof, however, that national bank charters are less popular since the democratie national banking act became operative. Se—— The protest by the professional musicians of Omaha against the postoffice band is the same nld story.

HE descendants of nearly every race that has come | / 4 | justice should recognize as eminently worthy of na- | | to America celebrate some kind of holiday. Here | in one that has been overlooked and which simple tion-wide celebration. This was the country of my people, the Indlans. My people were the original pro- prietors of this land. You may call us savages, but the American Indlans were the noblest, most intei. lectual and herolc savages on the face of the earth, and mors intellectual than some of the whites who | called themuelves civilized. Much of our fathers’ sav- agery and more of thelr degradation were caused by | coming In contact with the lowest type of the whits race instead of the proper elements. \ | { | | | | When rightly treated, the red men proved true We do not belleve in too many holidays, as it would lead to national poverty: how- ever, days Illke Washington's birthday, birthday, Lexington day, American-Indian day, Lincoln's Columbus day, and now should well be observed with suitable celebrations. We should have a great “pow- wow,” a council and conference where all the Indlans oan’ meet once a year for exchange of views, consider- ation of ideals, and exchange of heroic hope to ani- | mate and to sustain us in the lone watches by the dying fires of our national splendor. We should be encouraged to pride In our ancestry by being given a worthy in the national life, the same as other the | place memorial days, to keep us in mind of herves of past who have helped to make this country great, “lest we forget.”” Those who #ay that the red man had no part In making this nation great fail to remember that our forefathers were as statuesque gods In thelr clean blood and sculpturelike forms, lending dignity of thought to the council, eloquence of language to tho need, interpreting the hidden beauties of their great natural life into terms of passionate imagery: having souls aglow with fire and heart attuned to the infinite Thus has the Indian had a share in eontributing to our national character There was at one time of thia race 1,600,000 natives of America, and now there are left only a little more than 500,000 Tndans in the United States, with a slow Increase. Out of this number there are about 200,000 full-bloods in the United States, and the balance are mixed bloods, so mixed that one cannot tell if they are Indian or not. more than a stray dog. 1 am in hopes that the Indlans will remarry again within their own blood, and it Is the duty of the younger Indians to help bufld up this once mighty race If we do not wish it to become a vanished race, to allow it to go into the scrap heap of the nations. The whites will have to help to do this. They are willing to spend thelr money on the Belglans, tho seem to forget the starving Indlans in the west. They fail to remember that the Indians gave this land to them. They became rich out of the Indian lands, and now we have to depend upon the bread of charity. [ Twice Told Tales | Japanese Proverbs, It has been sald that the Japanese are as apt and unique in their proverbs as they are in thelr works of art. What, for example, could be more appropriate to men In certain desperate circumstances than this: “Man may shout when he can no longer swim “While the tongue works the brain sleeps,” is another saying of the Japanese, which expresses their contempt for loquacions persons. The Japanese are quick at repartee; their wit is keen and tempered, and they can often administer a perfect snub in brief, terse form. In illustration of this there may be cited the following insuunwe: There was being tried In a court a case involving the possession and ownership of a plece of property. The litigants wero brothe The holder, who was clearly nof the rightful owner, had’ assaulted and ejected his brother ond was protesting his right to de- fend his claim. The examining magistrate listened very patiently to ‘him until he closed with the words, “Even a cur may bark at his own gate.” Then the judge quaintly volced the judgment, as if stating an abstract point of A dog that has no gate bites at his own risk hington Star Preserving the Court's Diguity. A Missouri justice of the peace has devised a plan whereby judges may resent insult in an approved man- ner, and at the same time invoke the majesty of the law to defeat retallation. “Judge' Green had laid aside his shoemaker's awl, and was engaged In the ir al of a civil suit that involved $82 and costs. In the course of arguments, Marks, counsel for the defendant, made a statement reflecting upon the court's knowl. edge of the law. Whereupon the court, rapping upon the side of his bench and guzing fearlessly into the eyes of defendant’s counsel, sald: “We will now take & brief recess. Marks, you're a d-——d lar.” Marks' lips parted with a show of resentment, but before he could proceed, the court rapped for order with the in- Junction: “Shut up, Marks! Court is now In session.” ~—Pittaburgh Dispatch. Smooth Work, At a dinner given by the prime minister of a little kingdom in Ruritania a diplomat complained to his host that the minister of justice, who had been sitting on his left, had stolen his watch, “Ah, he shouldn't have done that,” said the prime minister, In tones of annoyance, “T will get it back for you." Sure enough, toward the end of the evening the watch was returned to its owner. “And what did he say?" asked the diplomat. “Sh-h!" cautioned the host, glancing anxiously about him. “He doesn't know that I have got it back.” ~Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegram.

A Ban Francisco capitalist, who was called down with his pipe, shot this comment at the manager as he walked out: “A pipo doesn't show much class, perhaps, but I'd rather smell & pipe than a smoldering rug—and that is what a cigarette is lke to me."” The plaintiff in a New York divorce action charges that her husband “actually spanked me" in the pres ence of @ colored servant. The spanker admits the castigation and defends it on the ground that the spanked party, between March 19 and May 3, thiy year, bought for her own use twenty-four quarts of whisky, Vermouth and gin.

OMAHA, July 2-To the Editor of The Bee: 1 read in vour Letter Box the ar- ticle signed “A. B.

W. he would needs is certainly in a class by himself when it comes to the metter of finances. but it would indeed be enlight- ening to obtaln from Mrs. Mickle or the children their views on the subject. Mt Mickle writes “We buy one pound of meat each week, of which T have a small plece each day to nourish my body for my daily labors, no meat of any kind being necessary for the rest of the fam- fly, they being, in fact, better off with- out it.” He also states: “We get along very well on 40 cents per week for to- bacco,” which statement would lead one to belleve that the entire family. father mother and children all use the vile weed in some form or another 1t is very evident from the tone of My Mickle's letter that the word “‘we,’' so | often used, should in reallty have been “1” as in his mind the idea of Mrs. Mickle or any of the children even occa- | stonally thinking of such luxuries as beef- steak, candy, ice cream, a bit of finery or an occasional visit to the movies, would be absurd Time and space prohibit any further comments from me on this family’'s mode of existence (it could hardly be called living). although I would enjoy immensely an opportunity of learning more of thelr methods of doing without the few pleas- ures allotted to most people at some time in life.

EUSTIS, Neb., July 2—To the Editor of The Bee: The letter from “‘Poly Glot” of Tilden, a few days ago, was enough to make a donkey laugh. No, indeed; T didn’t laugh—on the contrary, 1 felt so sorry for the poor fellow that T could not permit the trace of a smile to adorn my countenance. But why go at the matter in such a half-hearted and half-way manner? Many “furriners” are illiterate in our language; therefore, they would ont be able to read those signs flaunted by “Poly Glot™ and his Ik, even If the signs were as big as circus posters. Why not fallaw: hie suggestion in apprising a “furriner” that you can warble his lingo. If you #speak German let it be known by wear- Ing a quart of sauerkraut or a brick of | limburger cheese affixed to your coat lapel: if Spanish, a bunch of garlic, red peppers or olives; if French, a big bottle of absinthe. a pair of frog's legs or a quart of mushrooms: if Bohemian, a big cup of goose grease? adorn his person with a fistfull of cooked spaghett! (heaven: s that word spelled correctly?). On can readily see that he could easily recognize a fellow country- man at a great distance, Metropolitan city offileals could be coerced into hiring linguistic policemen—and wouldn't a guardian of the peace look becoming with & lot of the above mentioned articles hanging on his manly breast? Oh, yes. We must do something for those who cannot speak for themselves— and that at once. The suggestion of “Poly Glot” is practical, in a large meas- ure, and besides, a large industry could be worked up in supplying the needed | articles, The writer shall take the matter up with congress at the next session and endeavor to have a law enacted covering this proposition. ANOTHER TOURIST PRINTER Some Folks Are Inguisitive, OMAHA, July 2-To the Editor of The Bee: Superintendent High of the anti-Saloon league, desires to submit evidence of the truthfulness of certain claims made by the prohibitionists on w certain bill board located at Eighteenth and Cuming streets, but fails to state whether he contends that the statements thereon are true in their entirety, or only 10 per cent thereof, and also the nature of the evidence he proposes to produce. The public should know if he has abandoned the truthfulness of the entire statement, and contends that only 10 per cent of the same is correct. A. L. MEYER.
