Official assurances, however, do not solve the mystery: “What is a democrat?” After figuring so promlnnntly over here, Dr, Bernard Dernburg ought at least to keep us ‘posted as to where he is and what he is doing. The enlarged army bill will just have to go through now to make sure that every officer, who goes into Mexico, is rewarded with promo- tion.

The presence of the American army in Mex- fea has tightened the tension that has existed slong the southern border for several years, but has so far engendered nothing of frietion that might have been expeoted. The Oarran- | xista authorities have succeeded well in keeping order, even the more turbulent of the Mexicans seeming to be under due restraint for the time being, at least. Many stories are being sent north, commenting on the situation and con- taining vague hints of lurking trouble, but in the consideration of these statements due allow- ance must be made for exaggeration natural under conditions that exist. Most of them are based on partial or one-sided statements, and while all contain some elements of fact, none of them are more than indicative of an extremely unfriendly feeling, an experience the border ha: known of for nearly a century. The Gringo has never been a popular figure in Mexigo. Another point must not be lost sight of. In- terests concerned in the defeat of Carransza were not placated by the official recognition given him, nor have they ceased their activity because of such action by our government. ‘Whatever Influence these factions have is likely to be for the time exerted in fomenting strife. It is unfair to the clentificos to insinuate that they are In any way responsible for the mad acts of Pancho Villa, but it would be mor¢ than human if they did not take advantage of the chance thus presented to embarrass Car- ranza. Mexico is far from being pacified, and the first chief yet has a great deal of earnest work ahead of him to quiet his country. Both Mr. Wilson and Senor Carranza will earnestly strive to keep the peace, and a little patience on our part now, after years of trial, may result in avolding a serious clash with Mexico. Not Nagging—Just Insisting. A valued reader of The Bee who has been retired on a pension by the Union Pacific, writes to ask: “Why is It your paper keeps naghing the Union Pacific Rallroad company? Would it not be a good idea to drop this nagging and get a live wire after #ome other railroad lines entering Omaha, who claim to ba Omaha's friends and ask for Omaha's business, but, at the same time, are assisting the bullding up of small, nearby, rival towna?" We fear our correspondent has wholly mis- conceived the agitation for a new depot, which 1s primarily directed at the Union Pacific only because, as the landlord for all the other rail- roads, it must take the responsibility for mak- ing Omaha put up longer with the present in- adequate and outgrown station, It 1s true the Union Pacific has done a great deal for Omaha, but so has Omaha done a great deal for the Union Pacific. Our people voted a bond subsidy that bullt the bridge across the river and donated the depot site and trackage which the Unifon Pacific has been cashing in over since in the form of rentals from the other roads. The revenue which the Union Pacific has had from its Omaha terminals in the last fifteen years would more than pay for the mew depot and help pay for the new bridge besides. It other railroads, which have done as much for Omaha, alsc get business out of Omaha, g::un does not justity the Union Pacific any than the others withholding what we are entitled to. On the contrary, the fact that other citles are having better treatment at the hands of the rallroads really strengthens our claim. ——— If the Dutch Go to War. The talk of war between Germany and Hol- land over the einking of the Tubantia may end in talk, but the presence of Holland in the war on the side of the Allles would be a matter of serious concern for Germany. So far the strict neutrality of the Dutch has been a factor of supreme Importance in the course of the conflict, as it was a most vital and even de- termining influence at the outset. The strategic importance of the mouth of the Scheldt {s un- derstood by all, and its passage tn August, 1914, would have turned the course of the war, But the Dutch preserved their integrity and main- tained their neutrality. This has been done at considerable expense, for their army has been mobilized since the opening of hostilities, and &t present it is estimated that the additional ex- penses of Holland because of the war have teached a total of $140,000,000. The Dutch have felt this, and are not in a mood to lightly brook offense from a belligerent neighbor, es- peclally one that has profited through their neutrality as Germany has. Moreover, the Dutch frontier would make accessible to the Allles the heart of Germany, and would serlously modify the entire situation 80 far as defensive operations by the kalser's army are concerned. To add that length of front to the trenches, as well as to expose all the industrial centers of the Rhine valley to af tack would greatly increase the German task. None understand this better than the Germans, and none will likely do more than the Ger- mans to avold a rupture with a neighbor om whose friendship so much depends. —_— Tom Taggart and the Toga. “Tom" Taggart will soon be sworn in as a senator of the United States, the death of Sen- tor Shively having cleared the way for the ap- po‘ntment of the big boss of Indiana to that high office. His presence at Washington in his new ca- pecity will certainly be an inspiration to all whe | bave the good of free government at heart. As great a champlon of the doctrine of “let the peo- ple rule” as any, he 1s chiet engincer of the most active and corrupt political machine that ever operated in Indiana. His record is written in the annals of the courts of his state, which show the most flagrant abuses of the franchise ever exposed by prosecution, committed by the ma- chine of which Tom Taggart was the central and controlling figure. It is only a few days since be was indicted because of personal participa- tion in these acts. When he dons the toga, Daniel W. Voorhees, Thomas A. Hendricks, “Blue Jeans" Willlams and other fathers of the democratic party in Indlana wil] turn in their tombs. But Taggart has been as “regular” as Mr. Bryan, and he is quite within the Bryan ‘definition of “a deserving democrat.” ——— The appointment of Tom Taggart to the United States senate is a deserved recognition of a party hustler skilled in the peculiar meth- ods for which Indiana politics is famous. The promotion is much more desirable than that which the Marion county grand jury sought to confer on him. °* s s [ 1E BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, MARCH 21, 1916. The Greatest Thing ‘Garett P. Bervies HE Jullan year Is a period of MSY days, which was adopted by order of Jullus Caesar upon ad- vice of Astromomer Sosigenes to represent the true length of the year. Befors Caesar's time the Roman calendar was in great confusion, largely because the priests Insisted upon reckoning time by the meon, and upon trying to adjust the months, measured by the motions of the moon to the year, measured by the apparent mo- tlon of the sun. But the two systems could not be keared together The seasons were thrown into confusion to sat- Isfy the demands of superstition, and whole months were arbitrarily inserted into, or dropped out of, dif- forent years in a vain effort to make Inconalstent things fibe. Then came Jullus Caesar, one of ‘he greatest exercisers of common sense that the world has ever seen, and brought order out of confusion. After having the astronomers clearly explain the | sources of the trouble to him, he commanded, to be- gin with, that the moon should be thrown out of court as a common disturber, and that the length of the year should henceforth be reckoned solely hy the apparent annual revelution of the sun, which, as we know, is a result of the real revolution of the | earth around the sun as a center of motion The astronomers already knew that this period was about 366% days, and Cuesar decreed that that shoull be taken as the basis of a new calendar To avold the Inconvenience of using a fraction of a day he fixed 36 days as the length of ordinary years, adding one day to every fourth year, and thus making that year 36 days, to strike a balance. This was the origin of “leap ¥ ‘Then he swung the whole year round so that it should begin on the Ist of January instead of in March, as had been the custom there- tofore. He also arranged the length and order of the months, although some of his successors also took @ hand in this. The number of the months was twelve, but they were divorced from the incompatible moon, which was left to rove romamtically among them.as she is doing today. In shifting the year backward, sc t the beginning of spring might fall in March, when the flowers come forth, Caesar had to insert two tem- porary months, between November and December, in the first year of his calendar, and that produced, for the time bejng, confusion and grumbling, but ths man “who did bestride the little world like a colos- sus” pald no attention to the grumblers But now Caesar did something which betrayed tho fact that after all he was only a man, with some of the common human weaknesses: he seised upon the month which had been called Quintilis (the fifth when March was the first) as a perpetual memorial of him- self und ordered that its name should be July, from Juliua. And just as when one boy takes a slide another immediately follows in his tracks, so Julfus' successor Augustus, considering wbat his uncle had done and belleving himself to be an equally great man, deter- mined to have a month also, and he took the next in order, Sextills, and named It August. But, since July had thirty-one days and his month only thirty, Augustus fliched & day .com February and added it to August, so that his name should cover as broad a space on the year's face as did that of the man who had founded his empire. 8o, when we wonder how February came to be ro short that even in leap year she cannot attain the full stature of her alsters, we read the explanation In the vanity of & Roman emperor, ‘The Julian reform of the calendar embodied a slight the year is not 3% days, or 165 days ¢ hours, but it is 365 days 5 hours 4 min- utes and 5% seconds, o that the Jullan year was 11 In 1582, which was 1627 rmed the calender, the beginuing of the astro- --mllm.l-lhlhnuumuhunnn Then a pope, Gregory XIII, took the he advice of the astronomer. adjustment, which serves us yet He dropped ten days of of the year 1582, and, to avold another similar disjointment, ordered that hence- forth leap year should .be omitted in every century which s not devisable by 400. Thus 1700, 1300 and 1800 ‘Were not leap years, but 2000 will be a leap year. Thiy change of the rule will suifice to keep the calendar from drifting more than one day astray in the course of 3,000 years to come. But this is only a modification of the Caesar's system, and the Julian year, 35 days, 1a still in common use. Tn astronomy, for historical purposes, the Julian year is always used in accordance with a system in- vented by Joseph Scaliger In 1582, which starts from January 1, 4713 B, C. By this reckoning the year 1916 is the Julian year 0629, Twioe Told Tales What Ministers Heard. Some of the visiting ministers have told some good stories about one another during the Laymen's Mis- slonary Movement convention here, This is ome that was “handed” to Rev. Hugh L. Burleson: A young couple came into his rooms just as he was #oing to begin service In the church and asked him to marry them. He said if they would walt until after the service he would give them a public ‘wedding. After the benediction, he announced: ‘“Now, will those persons wishing to be married please come for- ward.” It is recorded in the story that eleven women and one man answered to the call. An offeet to that story is one told by Dr. Alonzo R, Petty of & women who was before a judge asking for a divorce. The judge leaned over his desk and sald to the woman: “Madam, how long did you know this man before YOu were married ™' “Your honor,” she sald, “I was acquainted with him for eighteen months, but I never really knew him until I asked him for ollar."~San Diego Union. g H 5 i i § Against U " Rules.

OMAHA, March %.—To the Editor of The Bee: While arguing on the question of “preparedness,” I am always asked this: “What will we do If a forelsn na- tion would send a large army over to the United States™ 1 slways wondered how far a forelgn army would got In our country after attacking us. Now, for instance, if a foreign nation took & no- tlon to attack the United States the enemy would have to leave about half of its forces at home in order to protect its citizens thers. When the hostile army should come near the coast of the United States, the army would be between 2,500 and 2,000 miles away from home. Then how long do you think the enemy would be able to keep up the fight with its sup- away? 1 have also heard some speakers say that we have to fear England because of its large and strong navy. If England has such a powerful navy, why does it not attack the United States? There is & reason; and all Americans know it.

OMAHA, March 2.-To the Editor of The Bee: In reply to the letter of Nathan Straus, I was indeed surprised to noto that the famous philanthropist was un- aware of the publication of infant mor- tality rate of his home city for 1915, also at misleading figures quoted by him for 1914, In giving the infant mortality rate for New York City, as 117 per 1,000, | erred. 1 used unofficial flgures published In a New York paper. I have the weekly bulletin of the Department of Health of New York City of January 8 1816. This bulletin gives the death rate among in- fants under 1 year of age as 9% per 1,00 during 1915, or eighteen less than I stated As to the 1914 figures the death rate as stated in Mr. Straus’ letter was 33.9 per 1,000, the true figures as shown by this bulletin (No. 2 of New Series, Vol. V) were % per 1,000 in 1914, or nearly three times as great as stated by him. He stated further that since 1892, when he first began supplying New - York City with pasteurized milk, there has been a steady decrease in the death rate among infants, which at that time was, accord- ing to his figues, %.5 per 1,000. This ia contradicted by the Increase in 1916 to % Pper 1,000, Regarding the mistake made by me as milk inspector in putting pasteurization in & bad light and placing obstacles in the way of the noted gentleman in pro- moting his propaganda. I was unaware of his interest in the milk supply of Omaha until reading his telegram in The Bee. Possibly he is not aware that tho average bacteria content of over 1,300 samples taken during 1914 in Omaha was less than 60,000 per c. o and of 120 in 1915, was less than 45,000, much lower than allowed Grade A pasteprized milk in New York City, which I belleve has been reduced to 60,000, I admit dally Inspection of dairies is impossible, but co-operation of press in publishing dairy scores and bacteria count monthly bas made this possible, averag- ing lower than that of pasteurizing plants. Milk produced 200 to 300 miles from a city, on uninspected dairy farms, hauled in cans to a crossroad or railroad station, exposed, probably, hours to the rays of the sun, brought to the city in uniced cars, then pasteurized and delivered to the consumer in from thirty-six to forty- eigbt hours after drawn from the cow can hardly compare with a product under constant inspection from tuberculin-tested ©cows, cleanly milked, cooled and aereated promptly, bottled, stored and deiivered at approximately 50 degrees Fahrenheit, all within a period of an average of twelve hours. As our city grows and dai men are the pasteurization of milk may become necessary to provide sweet and whole- some milk. Then (if still in the inspec tion service) I will recommend that milk be pasteurized in the original container, as it is known that through carelessness ot employes it is possible for milk to be come contaminated +after pasteurization | by running same over coolers and through pipes and bottling machines not properly sterilized.
