The Nebraska State Rafllway commission will not be guided by the advice volunteered by At- torney General Reed, to the effect that the board has no power under the law to take over- sight of the publie warehouses of the state. fupported by an opinion furnished by Dean Hastings of the State University of Law school, the board will proceed to exercise its jurisdic- tional control of all grain elevators and other public storehouses. The question of the validity of the law was not originally ‘called into ques- tion by the commission, which had submitted to the attorney gemeral the form of bond tendered by an elevator and milling company, asking to be informed as to its sufficlency. After dis- cussing the several sections of the bond and thelr relation to the requirements of the law, the attorney general went on to suggest to the board that it should not assume the additional duty prescribed by the warehouse statute, set- ting up that the constitutional provision creating the board did not contemplate its jurisdiction being so extended. He also gave the opinion that the board would find its time pretty well taken up with matters pertaining strictly to rallways and other common earriers. Not satisfied with the advice of the attorney goneral, the board sought the opinion of the law school dean, who holds that the railway board is the proper place to lodge such authority as the statute grants. This will have the effect of making the law operative, at least until its valid- ity is seriously attacked in court. It will then be the duty of the attorney general to defend the law, and of the state rallway commission to take lis advice, but so long as the law stands un- cballenged the board may go ahead under it as 1t sees fit, Carrying Corn to Nebraska. When the Crow Indians were asked to come to the Transmississippl exposition, they held back, giving as a reason for their reluctance that such crowds as were gathered here would make the problem of feeding the people a se- rious one, and they preferred to stay where they were sure of enough to eat. Something of thig same spirit must have imbued the party of South Carolinans who came visiting to Nebraska and brought with them a supply of spring chicken and sweet corn on the cob. In the innocence of their unsophistication, this party of tourists may have had the idea that when they left the home state they would be as ly oft as once ‘was the governor of that commonwealth, when he paid a call of state on his brother, the gov- ernor of North Carolina. Had they taken the trouble to look the matter up, they would have learned that nowhere under the sun does sweet corn grow more luxuriously or of better flavor than in Nebraska, while the state’s middle name is spring chicken. Of course, by this time this party of tourists is heartily ashamed of its im- plied reflection on the possibilities of Nebrasks a8 & provider of good things to eat. For the information of other eastern and southern visi- tors, The Bee now serves notice all they need to bring with them is good digestion to wait on oppetite, and Nebraska will provide all the rest. S———— Complaints Against Oensorship. American business men are feeling the effect of the war in Burope in other ways than in the matter of exports and imperts. British inter- ference with the malls between neutral coun- tries, as well as the exerclse of supervision gver the commusnication by cable, occasions great an- noyance and gives basis for much complaint, The condition is a natural outgrowth of the The British authorities are anxious to get John Bull hasn't boasted himself to any great extent of the ef- ficlency of hig secret service, and may not have developed it to the extent that has been ascribed to Germany, but it is absurd to suppose that he has none. America has long been an easy fleld for the operations of these gentry, who have carried on thelr avooation with little or no in- terference on part of the home authorities. Just now our country is full of agents of the belliger- ents, who are oarrying on great commercial transactions, each trying to discover what the other fellow is doing while concealing his own movements. Under such eircumstances, the sus- entertained by the British of all commer- g BE i ; Fyk3s 5 E & B H ' g £ 7 i £ n!‘% 29 1914, crease in value due entirely to higher prices, the report shows further that the exports corn jumped from 908,175 to 3,723,381 bushels; §8 $65,062,115 In June, H THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1915 Italy's War Leader , Literary Digest, UST as General Joffre was practically unkmown outside of France before the beginning of the war, so Italy’s leader comes upon the Buropean battlefield unheralded and unknown to the American observer. In Italy, however, he was already famous. Count Lulgl Cadorna has long been regarded there ase the army's one hope and the one man who has the abllity to revive its glory. An Itallan writer, a friend of the count, characterizes him, In an article con- tributed ‘to the Brooklyn Bagle, by the two words ‘Vivacity” and “calm.” These describe alike his cu- reer and his temperament. His quick mind has built up a storehouse of military knowl dge; it has judged keenly both inferfors and superiors; it has foreseen and planned long in advance, but always beneath & surface of calmness and without the friction of dis- ordered haste. He maintains his balance in the most trying circumstances and refuses to yleld to the bludg. eonings of hasty argument or prejudiced persuasion. Buch 1s the praiss given him by his friends, and subse- Quent glimpses of his career seem to bear it out. The count has always been a soldier, as his father ‘was before him. It was from his father that he first learned the value of fron discipline, in an incident that ocourred when he was. young in the service, When he was appointed lieutenant, we read, at the tender age of 2, he was attached to the staft of his father, who was commanding the army division at Florence. The latter was named commander-in-chief of the army which was to take Rome. Here was something to re- Jolce the heart of a brilllant young officer burning with desire to win homor for himself. But the old general, fearing that the presence of his son on his staff might be interpreted as favoritism, promptly displaced him. Louls was much chagrined, but 4id mot protest S0 well did he understand and retain this lesson that on the very day when war was declared on Austria he sent his own son, who was then his ordnance of- fioer, to refoin his regiment. This time the younger man had no cause to complain. The cavalry regl- ment in which he is a leutenant has been placed In the first line on the front. In 1876, at the age of 25, he was made a captain, and his progress thereafter was rapld and sure. As he rose in the service he endeavored more and more to Instil into the rather sluggish blood of the old army the ideas of a n ra. Here for some time he met with quite natural difficulties and we are told that some colonels of the old school did not look with a favorable eye upon instructions which upset thelr ideas, and did everything in their power to combat them. But these instructions always had a special oharm for the younger officers, and Captain Cadomna, smiling, calm, and persistent, also knew how to counteract the efforts In favor of the old routine In such & charming manner that the Truits of his teach- ings were always very brilliant. Attached finally to the staff of General Planell, who commanded the armiy corps of Verona, he found & man who knew how to appreciats him and who con- sequently furnished him the best opportunity for com- pleting his own education, and for his development. He wan one of the most distinguished generals of the Ttalian army, and without doubt one of the most awe- inspiring. ‘While under his orders it was necessary to fol. low the stralght and narrow path at all times. Very active himself, he never permitted laxity. Well-in- formed himself, although advanced in years, he was of the opinion that an officer, like a physician, ought to study all his life, and follow the progress made In his own sclence. Himself a martinet to the tips of his fingers, he demanded strict military manners from his subordinates. A soldier at heart, he imposed a severe discipline. Louls Cadorna was delighted. He worked with determination, made some studies re- Jating to the Itallan-Austrian frontier, which are a marvel of detall and precision. He published an of- ficers’ manual for times of war, which is a model of style, and at the same time a remarkable military text. book. ! Now, in those days Verona was the center of some maneuvers. Having in mind the reputation of General Plapell, the minister of war sent under hiy orders dll those division geherals whom he held in the chief of staft of his division. As he did every his duties with a rare only a colonel, and sald to him, smiling: “My dear colonel, I have read all the reports writ. ten by the generals who are under my command, on the subject of the great maneuvers. Please accept my e, sincere compliment And as the confused Cadorna did not know how to reply, he added: “You ought to write a manual teaching generals how to get the services of an exoeptional staff ¢ (] i i % %s | ] £ £ 5 fi i ?%gg sf i s é 5 ¢ 3 g g 13 : 4 I H i : g £ § Eis f g £ T g8 i i £ i i H it ? i H | £z it 1 i g i | £ i i i ] | i i i : i i £ fifir i H The Dees effer, Brief contributions on timely topios invited.

TILDEN, Neb., Aug. 6—~To the Editor of The Bee: Of late the Unhappy Hyphen has been made a sorry target, in fact it has been pounced upon unmerecifully by over-enthusiastic patriots. Therefare we arise to defend its proper use. “linelet” has two ends which in the field of magnetism would be termed positive and negative, therefore much depends where the word “American” s placed, on the positive or the negative end, For we stand in defense of the “American- German, American-Italian, American-Bo- hemian, ete., but we can't say as much for the German-American, ete. Even though the ““Two-Tailed-Injun- Rubber-Kritter” can't help that he was made that way, yet we note that he al- ways goes forward, and don't play crab- tactics; for he pays but little attention to his caudal-appendage, in the rear. Golng forward, he uses nls proboscis as a means of maintenance, for he could not subsist long if he would become a cauda- proboscls; therefore, being wise, he re- Joices in being a proboscls-cauda. It would be presuming upon the magnani- mity of this nation for any Two-Talled- Injun-Rubber-Kritter, to heave the rear to the fore, and drag the proboscis-end behind, roaring and barking with the other, which would indicate that his brain had changed places—what a consternation such an action would cause, until the keepers-of-the-peace could arrest and chain him, treat him until he returned to reason, or seyd him to the “jungle” from whence he cikne. But Sir Elephant is too wise to take such a fit; he knows where he Is well fed and kept, and he has long since ceased to bel- low about the glory of his former haunts ~in short, he's satisfied here, and if not his return Is not cut off. So he smiles and cheerfully fills his place in the bhappy parsde, after the money-wagon (his favorite place), with Old Glory flap- ping on his proud brow. Not one in ten thousand of them ever was interested enough to bend his neck to see his own minimum-extension-of-the-coccyx, nor has he taken special notice of those that his brethren wore; neither has he &rganized societies to exercise this vanishing-term- ination into the gigantic-monstrosities-of- a-magatherium-of-antediluvian-days. He has not been heard to remark that he was particularly proud of it, for the memory of former days bring him sorrow, for he, or his ancestors, came here to better their conditions—nevertheless, he uses it just for what it is worth—he chases flies; and wisely refrains from decking it with col- ors and emblems of his ancestral-jungles, for he would Indeed be unwise to gain his sustenance by the proboscis-end and do his barking with the caudal-end. The writer finds that he is an “Ameri- can-German,” but he can't help that, yét he ever endeavors to keep his ‘‘corpor- fety” headed in the right direction and to make the best use possible of the radi- penultimate, having the ability to use that language and prides himselt of many inborn traits (chasing flles, etc., etc.) But “Deutschland Uber Alles” don't g0 here—that might do for & “German-Amer- fcan’’ and then only in Germany, for here we are only guests-on-good-behavior, or we can return to the ‘‘beloved father- land.” By the way, the most of us so- called Americans have at least a few link-bones left forming the coccyx; signs of former greatness, if you please; but they are dropping off during these de- cades, forgetting the “Egypts of Bond- age” and praising the “land-of-the-free,” looking toward the world-wide-brother- hoed. But, by the way, some Bedlamites are flopping that member untll it has grown to be a cauda-maximus: we are becoming affrighted.——"Shu, de tall du wag de daws." POLY GLOT.
