The political disturbance in Mexico is begin- ving to take on something of resemblance to another Mexican national institution, the game of “monte,” in which no limit i{s placed on the number of players, where anybody can demand a turn of the carde for any sum of money, great or small, and where the ‘“bank” is under obliga- tions to “take a tap at any time.” The latest player in the e is Felipe Angeles, sometime artillery chief in one of the ‘“armies,” who thinks he will make as good a president as any and who will stand as a new head for “‘Pancho” Villa to flq‘ ‘under. Angel announced aspl- rations not such as give any support to the probabliily of immediate composition of dif- ferences now holding back peace for Mexico. Crafty Carranza has reopened the way to Mexico City, thereby in part meeting the demands of the United States and forestalling action prom- ised for this week by our government.

S Employment for Everybody. ““The specter of unemployment has been ban- ished,” sayp Dr. Karl Hellfrich, secretary ot the imperial German treasury, in a statement re- counting the achievements of the war. Not only in Germany, but ih Bngland, Belglum, France, Austria, Russia, Holland, Italy and other coun- tries has unemployment disappeared. The great- est forces of workmen ever assembled are work- ing overtime in a most gigantic undertaking. Human life and human achievement are being wiped out In staggering totals by this tremen- - dous aggregation of skilled workers in the trade 52 fhe war program with of destruction, Back of the lines women and children are tolling at unwonted tasks to keep the machinery of communal life in motion.

We have no fault to find with the men chosen. They are all competent men and old-time democratls fighters. It is true that other men were picked out for these places, who were perhaps just as competent and just as deserving, but somebody had to be disap- pointed. What's done fs done and the Nebraska demo- crats are glad it is done Kearney Timgs, (dem.): No democrats, in on the ever doubted, after the resignation of Mr that Tom Allen would be the cholce for dis- attorney, It the Lincoln gentleman wanted It Bryan's request would have absolutely assured this thing coming to pass. While Mr. Bryan was a member of the cabinet he probably would not hava made the request, but he naturally occupied a more strategical position in patronage matters, involving a relative, after he had left than he did before, And if he wanted a certain man for the position and cared to make the request, how could he have been turned down? There is no question but Senator Hitchcock Bryan triet felt this true, and, though he perhaps desired someone | else, he will no doubt bow gracefully to the inevitable Senator Hitchcock knows the game of politics and, withal, we firmly belleve he is & good loser, if in reality he has lost anything.

If there Is any advantage Hitchcock’s way it 18 explained by the ap- pointment of Bryan's brother-in-law, Tom Allen. T'ut the appointments have been made and we suppose 1t is up to all democrats to feel satisfled and. look pleasent. Newman Grove Reporter, (Ind.): Some more of the federal plums in Nebraska have fallen into the hats of the faithful workers. Two of them are Bryan men and two are Hitchcock men. And there is still no peace in the democratic party in Nebraska. The Bryan men got the best jobs. Seward Blade, (dem.): After two long vears of weary waiting, President Wilson appointed two Bryan and two Hitcheock democrats to the big federal of- fices in Nebraska. Thus Bryan secures the two best offices for his friends, but what Senator Hitchcock will do when the appointments come before the senate for confirmation remains to be seen. Broken Bow Republican, (dem.): President Wilson gave the federal plum tree a somewhat vigorous shake last week and four of its juiciest plums dropped within reach of four of “the faithful" in Nebraska ‘The first two wre classed as Bryan men and the last two as Hitchcock men. 8o it looks like an ‘“‘even break" for the two democratic factions so far. Of course, the senator will have a chance for another ¥, " in the matter when it comes for senatorial confirmation of thése appointments. But, as the sen- ator will have a campaign of his own on hand at that time, many people believe he will be in a position to do nothing but “take his medicine,” regardiess of how distasteful it may be to him. 8t. Paul Phonvgraph, (fem.): Senwtor Hitcheook says he will discuss the appointment of two Bryan men to federal positions “later,” inferring timt when the appointments are brought up in the senate for confirmation, he may have something to do or say. It comes to & pretty pass when any one man can exert such Influence over the democratic party in this state. ‘The president has appointed four men to important federal poeitions in this state. Two are known to be Bryan men. The silk stocking gentleman from Omaha, who 18 now misrepresenting the demoerats in the sen- ate at Washington, s satisfled with the appointment ot the two Hitchcock men, but when it comes to the two Bryan men he desires to wait a while beforo say- ing anything. Our senator will return to Washimg- ton next December to again harass the best demo- cratic president that we ever had, and then he will return home during the campaign and tell the “dear pepul” how he admires the president, In the hope that he will again secure the nomination for the sen- ate. If he does, and it looks like he may, he will be in for the most beautiful drubbing that any one man ever received in the state. Whenever any man bde- comes 8o big that he must have everything his own way, or else he won't play, then we say it is time for a change. Twice Told Tales Got a Move Om. Melancholy Aunt Clara from the country had the habit of listening to the big clock on the town hall In the/village where she was visiting and exclaiming, every time it struck: “Bternity draws one hour nearer.'’ . (larence was very much Iimpressed with that solemn reflection. One day the big clock got out of order. While repairing it the workmen made it strike every few minutes. Clarence heard it with bulging yes. “Oh, Aunt Clara,” he said excitedly, “eternity has got a move on today.”—Philadelphia Ledger.

AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 1.—To the Bditor of The Bee: Garbage, trash and waste of a eity contains, according to the analy« sis of best chemists, much more pure carbon and volatile matter than do the average coals, and when reduced and manufactured into desirable shapes, so that the full energy can be obtained while burning on the grates, as is now being done in a small way at San An- tonlo, Tex., producing a fuel In many respects far superior to the best of coals, | For large cities several plants of this | kind should be conveniently located so | that the gathering wagons will have a short haul, and a proportionately short haul for the delivery of fuel to the con- sumer, if a municipal plant, and only steam fuel is made, the plant should be located close by so the fuel could veyors. These plants are so built that cranes can be used for the unloading of cars, (if garbage is received this way), and dump wagons can unload on the second floor of the manufacturing plant, the garbage is dumped on & sorting plat- form and sprayed with creosote as a sanitary precaution as well as to allow the sorters to work in comfort; openings are made in this platform were the dif- ferent parts of garbage are dropped onto conveyors and conveyed as follows: The pleces of iron are conveyed to a storage; the bottles to a washing tank, where they are sterilized before being stored; rags, | (if a separation is made), to a washing | machine, where they are sterilized in | belng washed; the ashes, stone, brick, | etc., conveyed 10 & storage and used | for a fill; the tin cans, to a systemat- fcally devised incinerator, where sufficient heat is appiied to remove the remaining tin pleces, prossed into bails and con- veyed to a storage. All of the residue of this waste, which is the 'carbon parts, is conveyed to a circular drum pulper, where hot water and live steam is applied together with & certain percentage of tar, which acts in conjunction with the hot water and | steam as a thorough disinfectant of the | product, and also as a deodorizer of the | smoke of the fuel while being consumed | as woll as a deodorizer of the fuel itself, the mass is thoroughly mixed by this | machine and in the process reduced to & pulp, From this machine the mass s oonveyed to a mixing machine, where ground coal dust ts added in proper pro- portions, and to a moulding machine, where it is moulded Into bricks. 1t 1s very interesting, to watch the pro- cess of manufacturing this fuel, for one will see old shoes, M paper, rags, straw, manpure, house garbage, night sofl, small dead animals, etc, thrown into | one machine and come out another with- out being handled, perfect black bricks, without odor or any resemblance to its original materials. Dr. Willlam B. Phil- lips of the University of Texas and a mineralogist known throughoat the United States, after making several laboratory tests of this fuel, made from garbage and cheap lignite coal waste, as well &8 testing it In open grates and other- wise at his home in the city of Austin, states that he was well pleased with the results, and if he were able to procure this fuel at a price comparable with that of bituminovs coal, viz, $8.50 per ton, that he would use this fuel at his home in preference to any other. > B. L. CULVER. Be Sure You're Right, Then Go Ahead. KEARNEY, Neb., Aug. 2—To the Editor of The Bee: Obviously the Wilson ad- ministration hes little, if any, confi- dence in the efficacy of Mr. Bryan's proffered war panacea, for while he (Mr. Bryan) propounds his plans at five hun- dred and up per, the United States gov- ernment is elaborately preparing for war. Which fact leads one to believe that it is reasonable to presume that the United States War department is in possession of facts relative to the European war sit- uation which have not as yet been di- vulged to the reading public, and also, that congress believes war is Inevitable. 1t may be true, however, that the unusual activity is merely a precautionary proces Aure, the incentive for which can log- fcally be attributed to the insolent atti- tude of the imperial German government toward the government of the United States. Germany Is obstinate and fully cognis- ant of her position as & fighting power among the nations of the world, and will not concede a single point to the United Btates or any other nation in the present controversy. The United States govern- ment 18 not ignorant of the United States’ available resources and ability to compel fair treatment to her citizens, but the American people are intelligent to such a degree as to possess the instinct of equity and to know the difference between right and wrong and willing to be shown and &lad to apologize when wrong. but firm and determineq when in the right. President Wilson should be sure he fis right in the German-American contro- versy, then exhaust every known pro- cedure and counsel the most learned dip- lomats In an effort to bring Germany to see the facts as this government sees them. To determine whether or not we are in the right this government should place itself in the position which Ger- many occuples, then ask, “What would the United States government do if it was at war with England and Germany with full knowledge of the fact that the United States had established a blockade of the English ports, in an effort to bring England to submission and termin- ate war, and Germnany should persist in carrying contraband to England?’ Would the United States submarines re- spect the German flag when it was known to float uver a cargo of contra- band billed for England and intended to be used to ald and strengthen our enemy? Maybe this German-American controversy is an open question? Take your time, President Wilson, to get right and do all in your power to keep us out of the fuss, but if it is possible only by sacrificing tional homor, and you don’t want to do that, whistle and we'll report for duty to a man.
