S——— The swow blockade was finally raised today and Slreet cars were started in on all lines, but none ran on schedule time. Grenville M. Dodge. in the death of Major General Grenville Mellen Dodge is recorded the passing of a plo- neer whose active life spanned two distinct eras of national development. He was a prominent | tactor in both, and achieved distinction in either that would entitle him to recognition from his people. He partieipated in the work of the early day effort to conquer the wiiderness be- tween the great lakes and the mountains, and | had made for himself a prominent place before the civil war began. His military services were | brilliant and distinguished, and his high rank came to him on merit. In civil life General Iodge was no less distinguished, being a leader in his chosen profession and recognized here and In Europe as & man of uncommon ability. The part General Dodge played in the build- ing of the Union Pacific road, and in directing its operations for many years, is a notable chap- ter in the story of a life that was busy and full of usefulness in many ways. His soclal quali- ties were no less marked than his business and professional eapacity, and his intercourse with the world was pleasant and genial. His place in the history of the nation and in the develop- ment of the glorious west is definitely fixed. Public Schools No Place for Religion or Politios. The Bee is heartily in sympathy with every movement to improve the moral condition of the community and to keep the boys and girls in the right path, but we are at the same time, on prin- ciple, irrevocably opposed to the injection of re- ligion, polities or commercialism into the public schools. For this reason we deplore the per- slstent efforts of the organization of Protestant churches that sponsored the “Billy’ Sunday re- vival to use the machinery of the public schools for the promotion of their evangelical work. When Nebraska’'s constitution makers pressly prohibited sectarian instruction in any school or institution supported by public funds, the spirit, it not the letter, of the pronounce- ment, it seems to us, included indirection as well as direction. While the information is doubtless desirable for evangelical purposes, it makes no difference to the efficlency of public school teaching whether the parents of the children belong to one church or to another church, or to no church at all any more than whether they belong to onme or another political party. To utilize the schools to take a church census is foreign to their purpose as to take a political patronage cemsus. The request upon the school board to order a religious census of the school children taken, no matter how well intended, differs only in degree, therefore, from the re- quest for the use of the public school buildings for “Billy"” Sunday meeting: nd as a precedent 18 fraught with similar dangers. It such » census of religious affiliations is worth while, let the churches organize their own census bureau and make the enumeration on their own account and no one can polllhly enter any objection. Defending Two Coasts. The All-American Scientific congress, just ending its work at Washington, wandered quite a distance from mere abstractions of science, tions of applied military methods. Its discus- sions had to do mainly with the formation of & closer union of the Americas, and the problems that incidentally arise In connection therewith. The problems of the external relations of the *American republics largely assume the single phase of defense against forelgn attack. Tt is understood, If not expressed, that South America still offers a temptation to imperialistic exploit- ers of Europe, and to some extent to similarly minded patriots of Asla, This brings prominently to the fore the ques- tion of a two-coast defense, for a simultaneous attack on both the Atlantic and Pacific fronts is within the range of possibility. If the United States is to take up its share of the responsibil- ity growing out of the All-American union, it must prepare to meet any of the great emergen- cies incident thereto, and should therefore be ready at all times for anything that might hap- pen. problem of preparedness. It is not our own coast line alone we are engaging to protect, but we are obligated under our promulgation of and adherence to the Monroe doctrine, to assist other American republics in defensive operations, So far as the United States is concerned, the situation has been well considered by the War college, and plans for defense are worked out fu detall, It only remains for congrees to give assent and provide the means for carrying into execution the scheme that does not look to mili- tarism, but to Insurance against untold loss in | event of possibility becoming actuality, Colombian Treaty as Bryan's luurpuce. occupled time to the advocacy of the treaty framed by himself, under the terms of which the United States will be obligated to pay $26,- 000,000 to Colombia for the purpose of discred- iting a former republican administration.

Snyder, ] The Bee's Washington Correspondent. NE of the most picturesque characters in the Sixty-fourth congress is “‘Cyclone” James Har- | vey Davis of Texas. 1 first knew Davia & quar- | ter of & century ago when the populist convention met in Omahs and, among other represeniatives of the Omaha Bee, was assigned to cover that convention. | At that time Davis was tall, gaunt, with a swarthy complexion and wore flerce mustaches. A quarter of & ocentury, hewever, has brought many physical changes to this “Texas Cyclone, as he was dubbed, sccording to Ms own story, by the Cincinnati ¥n- quirer and Chicago newspapers during the days when the populist party was in the making. The dark mus- taches have changed to gray, and ‘‘Cycione” Davis wears a beard, changing his personal appearance vely greatly. “Cyclome” Davis affects a blue or a ETay flannel shirt with a low neckband and mo collar; he prides himself on never having worn a collar or a necktie. His associates in the lower house of con- gress from Texas do not hesitate to say that he Is still, as in those faraway days, one of the very great orators of the southwest and some of these times when the question of preparedness is before congress, in one form or another, “Cyclone” Davis will be heard in some impassioned utterances and then we may know whether he still lives up to his reputation | made when the Farmers’ alllance, populist party, fres silver party and the greenback party were powerful According to “Cyclone” Davis' blography in the Congressional Directory, he earned the cognomen of “a Texas Cyclone” in debating the money question with General Wat Hardin in 1882 in the ocapitel bulld- ing In Frankfort. Dubbed by the papers above re- ferred to as “Cyclone Davis,” Mr. Davis does not hesitate to say that half his mail is now recelved bearing that appellation. He played a leading part in organising the forces for Mr. Bryan, commissioned by the democratic, silver-republican and populist parties in 1500 to unite these forces for the Commoner, in which he spent about nine months and made about 300 speeches. Mr. Davis was appointed superintendent of agriculture for the Philippines by the Wilson ad- ministration, but declined in view of his race for con- gress, recommending his son, Valton ,for the appoint- ment, with acceptance. Being on the subject of the Congressional Direc- tory it is rather interesting to notice the modesty of some of the distinguished gentlemen represented and the desire of other gentlemen to get their achieve- ments before the public, The shortest biography is that of Frank Park of Sylvester, Ga. He states that he is a democrat, the place and the date of his birth; the offices he has filled in Georgia are a closed book so far as Mr. Park is individually concerned, contenting himself by simply saying: “Frank Park, democrat, of Sylvester, Ga." The longest blography in the Congressional Direc- tory is that of Senator Henry Algernon du Pont of Delaware.

BROV. Spanish War Veterans' Money. KEARNEY, Neb, Jan. 4.—To the Ed- ftor of The Bee: Some few days ago there appeared an article, in The Bee stating there was about §7.000 still due Spanish war veterans. Now, this an- nouncement by Mr. Hall was no news to the veterans of the Spanish war; they knew of it while Mr. Hall was still wear- ing knee panties. This money has been at the state house for seventeen years, and why Adjutant Hall has taken it upon himself to distribute it is more than I can see. Besides, that money is entitled to compound interest at the legal rate of 7 per cent from the date of its acceptance by this state until its proper distribution to the veterans, to whom i* rightfully belongs. The writer stated his claim to Mr. Hall briefly and to the point. He wes a mem- ber of the National Guard previous to his enlistment in the United States vol- unteer service in Company E. First regl- ment, United States volunteers. He went to Lincoln at the first call of the federal government for the service of the First regiment. He was at Lincoln ten days before he was mustered into the United Btates volunteer service In Company E, First Nebraska, on April 26, 1808, He ‘wrote Mr. Hall to ascertain the amount of the federal money that was sent to this state to pay for the service of men that were accepted prior to enlistment, or from the date they left home until they were enlisted into the United States volunteer army (that may be due him). Here is the answer: Joseph Morris, Kearney, Neb.: Refer- ring to your tal card of the 3ith inst., this fund is for the payment of services prior to mustering In. “Your name does not appear on the list. Therefore, you are not entitled to any part of this fund. If T am not entitled to any part of the fund, as Mr. Hall calls it, who 18?7 I was through the entire service from the time my company left David City until we were mustered out at tne Presidio, fornia. But Mr. Hall says the Third Nebraska regiment is entitled to the greater por- tlon of that money. Let's see. There was no such organization as a Third Ne- braska, Nebra. National Guard, prior to its formation at Lincoln. Therefore, the members of that regiment were Kuests at Camp Saunders, Lincoln, Neb. at their own free pleasure until they L] sworn into the volunteer service in the Third Nebraska regiment. The First and Becond regiments were there hecause they were obliged to be there under contract of enlistment. Is this plain to you, Mr. Hall? Is it possible that after seventeen years of waliting that Mr. Hall can find John Jones of Company Q and Jim Smith of Company Z and lke Getme of Com- pany P to sign vouchers for the amounts that are due them? Come on out with it, Mr. Hall. Print a list of the names in the leading papers of the stute of the amounts due each veteran opposite each name. Then at the next legisiature that honorable body will find a means of dis- tributing this money. My advice to you, Mr. Hall, is to keep your hands off of that money. It is nothing to you JOSEPH MORRIS, Late of Company E, First Nebraska Vol- unteer Infantry. | Tips on Home Topics I Boston Transcript: Anxious republicans are lying awake nowanights wondering whether the president's alllance with a descendant of Pocahont will enable him to poll the solid John Smith vote in 1916, Houston Post: The British court rules at A, J.
