Soldiers’ families in Great Britain are re- celving government assistance at the rate of $200,000,000 a year. This is one of the many big items of war cost, equaling a per capita tax of $4.40 on the population of the United King- dom. Inland state executives attending the gov- ernors’ conference have been permitted to re- view the Atlantic fleet and witness a mimic sea battle. Incidentally, they will also all be en- rolled in the Greater Navy league as boosters for big battleship appropriations. The Bee welcomes communications to its Jetter box, and is gratified by the continued and increasing interest in this colummn, but it must again caution contributors against the tendency to indulge in odious personalities. They should understand that a lot of letters fall to get past the waste basket on this account. — The president of China has induced his American adviser to “let the cat out of the bag."

Coupled with this statement is the further announcement that in such event the United States will receive complete satisfaction, and on this assurance tie situation must until further official word from Germany pletes the case.

It was compelled to face angry representatives of the dalirymen, threat- ening damage suits, and all sorts of other re- prisals, but it steadily gave its support to the health officers of the city and made the fight a vinner. Since then it has been compelled to further oppose proposed action of milk produc- ers, notably when a concerted movement to put up the price was exposed and thwarted, Oma- | ha’'s milk supply is the best, and The Bee pro- poses it shall be always kept clean. Must Develop the Wyoming 0il Fields. The readjustment of rates, upward, of course, on oll shipped into Omaha from the Oklahoma and Kansas flelds emphasizes the de- sirability of more rapld development of the \Wyoming oll lands as the natural source of sup- ply for this territory. It has long been known that there are vast deposits of fuel oils in the mountains in the states to the northwest of Ne- braska, and a measure of development has al- ready taken place, but the possibilities have scarcely been touched. Yet even now one great railroad system has already converted all its motive power west of the Missouri river to ofl burners with demon- strated satlsfactory results, The transportation | question, however—which does not trouble the | rallroads—must be met to make a market for other consumers, for all the Wyoming ofl used clsewhere must still be shipped in tank cars. If this oil can be made pipeable, with an unin- terrupted down-grade from the mountains to the Missouri river, Omaha would become the natural distributing outlet, and our numerous perplex- ing problems of fuel and power would be to a great extent solved. 8o we say the development of the Wyoming oil fields should be expedited, Lecause that would mean more for Omaha than eny other one big project to be tackled in the near future, Reavis and the Red Tape. Congressman-elect Reavis of the First Ne- braska district hasn't taken his seat under the deme at Washington yet, but he has learned a very serviceable lesson, just the same, He has found out In his earliest officlal encounter with the administration in its stronghold just how little of real importance attaches to a mere mem- Ler of congress when it comes to the details ot postoffice management. Here the efficiency in- cpector’s report is the guide to service. Of course, it may be wrong, for the inspectors are | not infallible, but once the report has been made end approved, nothing can chenge It until | another in-pector makes another report. Just | | | | now the democrats are taking advantage of this routine rigidity to scerimp and pinch in the post- office, that they may make a showisg of economy, regardless of the needs of the publie survice, Congressman Reavis may not be able | to get the delivery service at Lincoln restore out of his new experience some suggestions for ' improvement in the postal service. ‘ ——— | Graft Disclosures in Canada. i Right-minded people find no pleasure in not- ing the downfall of men in high places, but as long as men will err and later get caught, some | littlp comsolation may be extracted from the thought that all crooked politicians do not re- side on this side the Canadian border.

It Is perhaps true that Mr. Daniels knows little or nothing about the navy, and perhaps true that he has no special taste for th dutles of his present office. It is obvious that when he first came to the Navy department his mind was occapled in impressing upon the navy his fads of personal conduct, and utilizing the news value of his position for personal advertisement. His methoda during this period were more or less haphazard, he leaped from crag to crag, one day prating on the navy as a natlonal university, face of human experience A specific we the next flying in the and prohibiting the use of preventive for a world-old next hear of his ignoring boards and established agen- cles of administration, only to create, or to say that he created, new Again we hear of his marriage of & moving picture actress on board a naval vessel; again we hear of his order- has ones. ng that midshipmen shall not cheer their team at the base ball games, In all Jf this there is an incon- sequence and apparent folly which might lead one to think that Mr. Danfels has no sense Following this period of merry experimenting, and as interest in the service begins to wax, Mr, Danlfels apparently saw that he must assume a moro rerfous attitude In the matter, He ceased to prate of his national university, and attempted to bambooala the public into thinking that our navy in every re- spect is the greatest In the world, and that he, Jo- sephus Danfels, has made it so. But this won't do The public is not bamboozled quite as easily as Mr. Danlels thinks. The public asks for facts and fig- 8, It compares gun ranges, records of target prac- tice, speeds of vessels, asks where are our scouts and auxilia and Mr. Danlels begins to take a more serfous Interest. He no longer makes wild and ill-considered statements, he picks out this thing or that thing, and by specious presentation gets part of the public to thinking that he s really doing some- thing. He appointed cne officer to command the sub- marine flotilla, and makes a great pother about that, in spite of the fact that It is no new thing he has done. Again he speaks of his advisory council, and again there is great pother, but again it is no new thing, and & on with the torpedo destroyer, with the aero- plane, and what not? But never does Mr, Danlels fail to get public notice for all this, nor Is he lacking in Ingenuity, and a sense of the picturesque; as witness his widely heralded “Inventions RBoard.” But the public becomes more and more interested; It asks questions. Mr. Danlels cannot always get the officers of the department to answer these questions as he wishes Moreover, some officers will insist upon speaking thefr mind, whether they are called upon to do so by Mr. Daniels or not, but Mr. Danjels must have expert officlal statements to back up his fantastic public utterances, How Is he to get them? Here it is that Mr. Danlels proves that he is cute. He will “Danfelize” the navy. One by one the more outspoken and less amenable officers are ordersd from W hington, or, at any rate, detached from duty | in the department—one goes to the war college, an- other to some ship, another to some special duty, and #0 on. Their places, in the meantime, are filled with more compliant materfal, or material that is expected to be more compliant, It is not intended to Intimate that Secretary Daniels' offlcial ily 18 composed solely of acquiescent officers, to speak their own mind, but it is only too it that Secretary Danlels has again and again detached one or another officer from Washington for no other apparent reason than that the officer could not see everything In the service in the same rosy light that keeps Mr. Daniels cheerful, Thus, we have Admiral Fiske, whose high recog- nized abllities lie in special fields, ordered away from Washington, and with solemn farce told to study at the War college. We see other aides ignored and or- @ered away. Weo see the general board weakened by similay orders to its members, and shortly we ses Mr. Danlels surrounding himself with a happy official family, Indulging in the simple delights of an ex- change of birthday dinners, and other innocent and pretty gayetles. And now if Congressman Gardner, or some other coarse and unfeeling person, questions the perfection of our target practice, the speed of our battleships, completeness of our complements aboard ship, or any other one of the many declared perfections of our fleet, Mr. Daniels' little band of ready writers and Danlelized experts, are at hand to give in delightfully general and Indefinite terms most satistactory assurances that everything is right, and that Mr. Danfels himself {s ever vigilant to order a new board. or create a new agency for making our ‘a peace-maker, but a pace-maker." The belief is growing in many quarters that when President Wilson shall have given further serious | thought to what is needed by the country in the way of naval and military defense, and that when he shall have fully determined in his own mind the essential steps to be taken, and the program to be recommendod to congress, he cannot fail to overlook the fact that the one most essential step should be to rid himself of Mr. Daniels, as he was rid of Mr. Bryan. Twice Told Tales Search Before Mending. A Chicago woman has been noted since girlhood for her ready wit The other day a young amateur humorist ex- med in her presence ‘What eould be more dreadful for a woman than, after mending her husband's coat, to find In one of the pockets a love letter from another woman?"* “Fortunately,” was the answer, “that could never happen.

BLAIR, Neb, Aug. 2.—To the Editor of The Bee: 1 have been falrly able to care for my boy from the cradle until the fuzz began to gather on his upper p, and in some way he was not able to look his mammy in the eve after that and I found that I had lost my boy. Strange, for prior to that event he was proud to be called “Mammy’s boy" and enjoyed to occupy the church pew with his parents, But somethinz In connec- tion with the fuzz shattered all this hope, and 1 found that on the fateful day that he returned from his first visit to the barber shop (?), I beheld a fuzz- less lad; but something else had hap- pened My board of strate was set in motion, and every time that my boy had his “Alfalfa Mowed" or the ‘Stubbles Driven in" (these were clues), 1 found that my boy was becoming shyer, and that he acted as though he had been in- duced to eat of the forbidden tree I was bound to find the whereabouts of that tree, and so 1 planned a spy system, and walked by that barber shop. 1 walked slowly, very slowly, and I soon found that it had b wrongly named, for it was really a “Smut Factory,” for the air was blue with racy effusions (I belleve they call it that), and the loud guffaws from the row of fans that were sitting in the bleachers, loudly registered | that the professional Smut Smith had just dellvered another consignment of his diabolical scrapnel—the same brand that had struck my bov. Now I had bearded the Ghoul in his Crag.

NORTH LOUP, Neb, Aug. 2.-To the Editor of The Bee: We are told that ap association Is now at work to reverse the opinion of an army engincer with respect to ‘the possibility of navigating the Missourl river. Most people do not ap- preciate the fact that the Missourl river should prove to be the foundation of a system of transportation unexcelled in the entire world. Omaha may become a city of 1,000,000 inhabitants; Kansas City greater, and Sloux City a commercial center, with all parts of the great plains having equal improvements. The change would not destroy the east, nor the west, but the plaine states would arise as a mammoth commercial empire, What are the facts? The Missouri river has more than enough water for trans- portation. If that river had a fall of two inches per mile, instead of eighteen inches, it would be a slow moving, deep, stream sufficlent to carry the largest sea-golng vessels. What should be the method to improve it for navigation? One of these methods must be employed: The river must be kept clear of mud (300,000,000 cublc yards annually) or arrest the rapid flow of the | water and thereby prevent that enormous wash. Dredging has proven a failure in the Mississippl. The Missouri generally has a very rock bottom, which makes a substantial foundation. The better method will be the process as used at Keokuk. There the Misslasippl Is backed up sixty miles on a thirty-seven-foot dam. The cost was $27,000,00. Tf we might improve the Missouri and Mississippl by the ex- penditure of $300,000,000 within & period of | six to ten years, these improvements | would prove far better than to expend an | equal amount on war materials and bat- tleships. The central states must back a mag for president who lives in these states. We want no Tammany, no Wall street grafters in it. WALTER JOHNEON, Mere About Monoglot.
