For an American lerchnn! Marine. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, who is & member of the president’s personal family as well as of his cabinet family, and therefore likely in position to speak by the book, says that the democrats will establish a new American merchant marine, He does be brought about, through the administration’s shipping bill, feated at the last session of congress measure is po longer championed, even by its warmest caucus supporters. It was so openly a makeshift, and its deficilencies were so apparent, that only through the power of the caucus and but it is not likely to come de- by pleading political exigency was the presi- | dent able to muster support for it. The objec- tions to it are as potent now as ever. Democratic leaders are announcing them- selves as opposed to a ship subsidy in any form. They demand the right to buy ships where they can be had the cheapest, to man them with the cheapest crews obtainable, and to put them into | trade under the American flag. This means buying ships on the Ciyde or in Japan, where labor is much cheaper than in the United States, manning them with Chinese or Lascar crews, and calling the mixture “American.” This sug- gestion is quite in line with the democratic free trade policy, exhibited in other directions. The republicans may not be able to restore the canal tolls exemption, repealed by the dem- ocrats, but they may be depended on to pro- pose other proper means for fostering and en- couraging American shipping without causing other American interests to suffer. An Answer to an Inquiry. SOUTH OMAHA, Aug. 5.~To the Editor of The Bee: You sald something the other day about the fichool board being elected hereafter “at large,” and nominated only by petition.” [ do not understand just what you mean. Are we not to have any mem- bers of the School board over here at all? SBOUTHSIDER. For-the benefit of our inquirer, and all others who may be interested, we may state that the last legislature enacted a new law governing the election of members of the Omaha School board, abolishing ward representation and making the terms four years, but overlapping so that half of them expire every two years. To bring this about, elght new members are to bhe chosen in 1916, of whom the two recelving the lowest number of votes are to serve for two years only, #0 that after that only six need be chosen at one time. The same legislature, as part of this plan, amended the primary election to exempt from party nomination candidates for School board places and to make petition nomination the only way to put names on the official ballot—in a word, wrote into the law the method which had been pursued by force of circumstances at the last Omaha school board election. Whether thig will, or will not, give School board represen- tation to what was formerly South Omaha, or to any other particular section of the city, re- mains to be seen. Ordinarily South Omaha can- didates would be at a disadvantage as compared with Omaha candidates, uniess personally known throughout the whole city, or included in some kind of a slate, although presumably the pro- posed method of election is intended to prevent slate-making, Under the conditions now exist- ing, there is only one thing to do, and that is to wait and see how it works out at the first trial next year. S—— Redfield’'s Whitewashing Effort. Secretary Redfield’s obvious purpose to shield the steamboat inspection bureau, through his direction of the HKastland inquiry, has aroused a tremendous storm of popular indig- nation, not only in Chicago, but in all parts of the country. That so shocking an episode should be followed at once by the efforts of a cabinet officer to relleve his underlings of blame for a catastrophd for which they are in any way liable is profoundly disappointing to people who rely on their certificate when golng aboard a vessel under its survey. Disclosures so far made in the BEastland case indlcate incompetence or neglect, or, what is worse, collusion with the owners, on part of the Inspectors who allowed a notoriously un- safe vessol to travel under the protection of government sanction, neither is popular feeling allayed by the uncontradicted report that after being passed by a federal inspector, his son-in- law was given the job of chief engineer of the ill-fated boat. The secretary of commerce is him- self a marine engineer, n.nd knows without being told by witnesses what form of craft is sea- worthy and what is not, and this tact makes his present inquiry seem all the more insincere. The federal grand jury handling the case may bring in indictments, fixing the responsiblility in some measure, bt the steamboat inspection bureau does not shine any brighter for the whitewdsh the secretary of commerce 1s laying on it. Pay of Movie “Stars.” How terrible it is to have our illusions and delusions unceremoniously punctured! These fancy stories about fancy pay for fancy movie actors refers only to the very top-notchers. Mary Pickford’s salary, it is true, is $1,600 a week; Charlie Chaplin gets $1,200; William Farpum, $1,000; Marguerite Clark, $000; Mary Fuller, $600; Mabel Normand, $600; Maurice Costello, $600; J. Warren Kerrigan, $400; Earle WiN- iams, $300; Blanche Sweet, $260, but most of the rest are little ones. These figures, too, are official, having been developed in sworn testimony in court proceed- ing out in California to compel one of the con- spleuous movie “stars” to quit playing hookey and go back to work under her contract at $40 & weoek, Part of the defense was that the lady "llfl.'fllhw ars get not less than $160 a week," and (hat her services were Dot so essential anyway, because the market is “flooded with actresses and actors of the same caliber who receive from $25 to §75 & week.” 8o there you have it right out in the open that the big money h by the mighty tew, the ordinary run nl getting about the same whether they pose before fllms or do one-night stands across country, —_— Let those invelghing against the catalogue houses remember that the latter would not have made any headway except through the use of printers’ ink.

His belly is lttle ana pudgy. His Jegs and feet are those of an fll-developed, little fat man. He has a way of squinting and grinning which is very characteristic. He etands badly, dresses ridicul- ously, never rides a horse any more, and walks about like Presigent Poincare. | The soldierly part of him is his head, which Is | hard, tough, calm and hideous with the same sort ot | Interesting hideousness which the late Mr, Morgan had to such an extraordinary degree. The pretty photographs which make him look like Mr. Taft do not resemble him a bit. He is simply a softer edition of Mr. Morgan, with more kindliness and humor and with less consclous foros, initlat.ve and pugnacity. He is perfectly French looking and strikes the French officer as @ natural development of the type of Frenci general of plebelan origin. The noble generals have a different look about them, a superior stature, thinness and sharpness, with a touch of scorn in their facial make-up. His officers say that none of the three or four say- Ings attributed to him by journalista since the opening of the war was really uttered by him, and that he has no “sayings” In him. He gave one Interview, to an old school friend turned journalist, and was highly amuscd because the censor cut it all out of the pa- pers He has never made any speeches. He sat silent through four months of daily soclalist discussions of the three-years' military-service law in the Chamber of Deputies. He has written only a single brochure— on the expedition to Timbuctoo—as literary baggage for his entry to the Academy. He does not write the brilllant “orders of the day"” which are generously at- tributed to him by the censor, and it is sald he never writes personal letters or reads newspapers. At work he is systematic and keeps a large clerical force overworked. But he is a soft master as regards hours, Inslsting that all his subordinates 11 sleen as long as they can stay abed, which he does himseit. His admirers say that he is incapable of worry or of the slighest degree of excitement. He has never shown any emotion about anything and has never been known to be interested in anything outside his immediate job, His society never bores anybody, simply because he uses up all his time in working fairly steadily and fairly hard, sleeping a lot, eating slowly and resting after meals, taking little walks for health, and’riding about the country in his family automobile on inspec tion trips. He has the air of being quite as tediously on the job and of making an honest living for his family as if he were a little business man. He fussed along over the battle of the Marne just the way he does about the routine detalls of army administration, and slept a lot every night. The oniy special recommendations which he has ever seen fit to publish were concerning the necessity of town loa‘- ers getting busy threshing the crops in the war zone and “small matters” about how to keep the roads up He recelved a batch of journallsts in his school- house office on the front one day, when the minister Insisted. He mort of yawned at them, mumbled some- thing banal about “saving the country,” and got thom hustled out. The only map in the room was a black- and-white one of Poland, and the general appeared to be in course of straightening out his cash accounts. Joffre's manner of ntt’ukln‘ the enemy suggests that he has no fancy idea back of the attack, but merely attacks to accomplish the purpose of war, whicr is to defeate tho enemy where you find him and tc impose your will on him, whether it leads in any par- tioular direction or not. Above all, Joffre cares nothing for the political direction of his strategy. Supreme credit must be glven to him, in the early part of the war, for his utter indifference to the ‘‘rescue’ of Paris, which the government and the people naturally regarded as tho cardinal point of the campaign. Joffre let Paris take care of itself as best it could, while he fought his enemy squarely on the fleld till he beat him. He knew full well that if he didn't beat him Paris would fall in three days without any slege and the name of Joffre would be anathema in over-centralized France il that little geographical point was relleved, ) But it Joffre had permitted himself to worry about Paris, as von Kluck's whole strategy over. whelmingly Influenced him to do, he might have savel Paris, but he would have saved it only to lose all France and then Paris, too. ‘What was needed was a purely military steadiness and courage. Joffre is all purely military steadiness and courage. Jotfre and General Cherfils were talking the otheér day about a certain aristocratic general who had heaved a sigh of reliet that “God was at last on the #ide of France.” Cherfils' comment was: “Since 1570 God has somehow come to distinguish’between France and the government of France.” Joffre is of the people, not of the government. His tather was a cooper and hls mother tended the vines on their little farm. Out of such work they wrung the competency which gave Joseph Jacques Joffre the in- come for & military career. Twice Told Tales . Some Volce. Here s a Mttle story that was told by Congress- man John E, Baker of California the other night when the talk topic in the lobby of a hotel took a musloal turn: Some time ago the guests at a reception were dis- cussing the relative merits of several songsters, when one of the party turned to & man named Brown. “By the way, Brown,” sald he, “you are some- thing of a singer, are you not®’ “Not on your life!" was the emphatic response of Brown. « I never sang & note that somebody didn't threaten to send In a rot call. You are probably thinking of my brother.” “Perhaps 1 am,” wa the thoughtful rejoinder of the other. “Has he a heavy bass volce “Yes,” smiled Brown: “so derned heavy that it makes him bow-legged to carry it."—Philadelphia elegrum, Well Classified. The Kansas story of how the farmers put beer Negs Instead of wheels on their binders, in order to harvest in wet weather this year, recalls to the Lawrence Gasette the old story that was often told in the days when prohibition was young in Kansas There was a law that permitted the sale of liquor for medicinal, mechanical and scientific purpoecs. A farmer came in one day and offered to purchase & gallon of stuff from the local drugmist. Out came the drugstst's book, in which all salew the pur- pose for whiéh the liquor was to be used must be recorded. “What are you going to use it for—med! einal, mechanical or sclentific purposes? asked the “You might as well put it down as me- responded the farmier. “I'm goin' to have A Matter of Opinton. “Mary!"

Anyone who casts a slur at motor- | cycles casts a slur at the representative young men of Omaha, for among our midst are membérs of some of the best families In Omaha. To state that motorcycles lead more girls to ruin than autos is plain humbug. The average automobile owner is an up- right citizen. But the uses to which auto- mobiles may be put at times are far lower and more degenprating than they are with the motorcycles. Take a trip through the downtown district of an even- ing and notice the taxis and autos sta- tioned in front of the chop suey parlors and on street corners ready to take parties of men and girls to resorts and roadhouses. The rapld growth of the road- houses scattered outside the city limits is directly due to the use, or misuse, of automobiles. Dozens of cars are in the direct employ of these houses of ill-re- pute. Motoreycles, however, are rarely seen around these roadhouses. Show me one immoral motorcycle rider, Mr. Proba- tion Officer, and I wifl show you ten moral perverts riding about in automo- bilee, To prove my assertion it is only necessary to go out on the public roads and witness the disgraceful antics of joy riders in the rear seals of passing cars. In conclusion, I will state that the motoreycle riders of Omaha are willing %o submit to a falr comparison with any other pleasure vehicle and we feel sure we will be given a clean bill by our broad-minded citizens. JAMES C. VAN AVERY, Vice President Omaha Motoreycle Club, Brother Mickle Comes Back. OMAHA, Aug. 4~To the Editor of The Bee: What kind of times are we coming to when children defy their own parents. My two oldest daughters, 14 and 13 years, went to work at the close of school. They make §7 and &. The first few weeks all went well and they brought home the money and 1 put it in the bank where it will do some good. But they soon got fool ideas from the girls where they work. These girls sald they don't have to give the money to their parents, all they have to do is pay board, Now, my daughters got these same ideas and last week the oldest said she wouldn’t pay her money to me any more. T had to take it away from her and I warned her not to do it again. Now this week she came home and handed me $4. With the other $3 she had bought a fine silk walst, something she hasn't got any use for, and somo candy. She refused to take it back and wouldn't tell me where she bought it It seemed that this stirred up trouble in the whole family and soon they were all bawling. I dldn't know what to do, that they should turn on their own father that has supported them all these years. Is it the law that a minor has to give their earnings to their parents, or isnt 1t? 1f 8o, she'll give me what she makes if T have to go to the factory to get it. After I have spent hundreds of dollars in bringing her up all these years, just when she would be earning something and bringing it in she turns around and says she don't owe me anything. It Is scandalous that children nowadays don't have respect for parents. It was differ- ent when I was a boy, I can tell you, A, B. MICKLE, ALl is Peace” NORTH PLATTE, Neb,, Aug. 4.~To the Bditor of The Bee: W. J. Bryan de- livers his celebrated lecture on ‘‘Peace” before the North Platte chautanqua ocourse August 8. Bryan is great on “Peace.’” He has delivered his ‘‘peace” lecture around the world. He is sup- posed by this time to have the lecture down “pat,” and the people of Nowth Platte expect to be “muchly” entertained. Considering Bryan's military career in the Spanish war, and his efficiency as & politiclan in ‘“swallowing the pops,” Bryan s some on ‘‘Peace." The only ‘‘peace” on this earth s the “Peace that passeth undersianding™ ~that prevails in graveyards. Every- thing outside of graveyards is commo- tion, generating life and action. The strenuous condition of the publie mind at the present time demands some kind of paregoric. Hryan has got the “dope,"” “Peace.” Bryan put the “pops™ to sleep—true, the democratic party flaunts the ghost of the people’s inde- pendent party to the public to catch votes, still the “pops™ sleep. The alle tmportant thing to be done now is to keep the people asleep. Notwithstanding Mr. pose on politics, he is wide awake, as the “dough” comes to himself. Bryan left his post as secretary of state to g0 to Maryland to tell his peace stories at a convention of farmers. When he returned to Washington, he sent a bill to the Maryland farmers for $300-his regular price was 3500, but being as they were farmers, he would discount it to $300. The farmers paid the bill Owing to the above satisfactory ao- tivity, the North Platte chautauqua mans agement (the directing spirit of which is democratic, and, like Bryan, veligiously inclined) decided to put Bryan “on the boards” that the unsuspecting people ot North Platte might be brought peace- fully under the Influence of Bryan's gentle Inspiration. The “gentle life” is as old as human soclety. It was, and is now, used by exploiters to put the people to sleep while the exploitation goes on. If Bryan ever made a dollar outside of exploita- tion, let some one show where it came from. From the “crop of gold” to the whippoarwill's song, “16 to 1" down to state ownership of railroads (which he professes to carry over) did Bryan ever stand twelve months by any declara- tion he ever made? Bryan and Roosevelt stand today as the twin factors in American politics. It i three years since they put “Joe' Cannon out of the speakership.
