England's greatest loss in the present war was suffered when the old cruiser Hampshire sank, carrying down his staff. Fleets and armies may be overwhelmed with disaster on sea or land, and the damage be retrieved; when the genius that has organized the defense of the nation, and directed its movements through times of greatest stress 18 taken, the mis fortune amounts to real calamity Not that Kitchener is absolutely indispensable, for the des tiny of the world no longer turns on one man This leader was too good a builder to hang the future of England on his own life; his plans, so far as they have been disclosed by actual opera tions, comprehend the co-operative activity of many, and the death of one will not vitally affect the progress of the whole, But Kitchener was one of those men who stand out clear above'all others. His genius was for organization, for thoroughness and for the | most careful attention to the minute details that lesser men would overlook. This quality marked his course from sub-lieutenant to commander-in- chief. He is better known to the world because of his great success in Khartum, where he re trieved the blunder of Wolseley, and brought the Mahdists under Osman Digna to subjection and checked the flames of an uprising that might have engulfed the world in religious warfare When he succeeded Lord Roberts as active head of the British army, he injected new life and energy into the organization, and made it more than ever effective. In the present war he ac- complished a most remarkable feat. Within a year from the time hostilities began he had in- creased England’s “contemptible army” of about three-quarters of a million to more than four millions of first-clase, well-equipped fighting men, and this without the compulsory enlistment of any. That he could do this, preserving the ef- ficiency of his organization from first to last, stamps him as military leader of supreme ability, He is the first of the really leading figures of the war to be claimed by death, going, as he would undoubtedly have chosen, in the line of duty. His place in history is secure, Hughes and Americanism, The only persons, apparently, who do not find occasion to applaud the remarks of Jus tice Hughes in addressing a graduating class of girls in Washington are the managers of booms for other presidential possibilities, The Ameri- can people will not share in any part of the im- plied criticism, Justice Hughes voiced in his simple language a thought that is uppermost with thoughtful Americans at all times when the flag is in question, It is a symbol of a goncept of human liberty beyond that typified by any other banner ever unfurled to the kiss of the sun and the winds, and of a people devoted to that ideal. The undivided allegiance, the unselfish devotion of the fathers is the heritage of the present, and it is our duty to hand that heritage on, unsullicd and undiminished, This is the substance of Jus- tice Hughes' definition of Americanism and the flag as its emblem. It comes as the declaration of a citizen who is not seeking office, and as such must have more than ordinary weight with the people, Yuan 8hi Kai, China, and the United States, The death of Yuan Shi Kai holds especial in- terest for the United States because of our rela- tions with China, and the condition of that un- wieldy empire. Yuan had both strength and ability, and was able to withstand to a great ex- tent the pressure put upon him by the Japanese, who took advantage of other world events to press for greater control in China. This policy was bluntly put before the people of the United States by Baron Shibasawa last winter, when he proposed that we provide the capital while Japan furnished the supervision, and together the two nations could exploit China. The Japanese end of that dream has not been abandoned. Sun Yat Sen, who was formerly Yuan's aide, and later his rival, the active head of the present rebellion, has found sanctuary in Japan for many months Should he succeed to the presidency, or one of his faction, the complications will be greatly increased. Our government is pledged to the “open door” in China, which is exactly what Japan does not want. The possibilities of the situation from a diplomatic standpoint can casily be grasped. Each of the succeeding world events emphasizes the importance of the United States | as a participant in world affair: Forty Years a School-ma'am. Another Omaha school teacher has been re tired on pension after forty years of service in the school room, This simple statement holds in itselfl a history of achievement that can not be put into words, No other factor of our civilized life t¥iches so closely on the home as does the school; next to the influence of the parents, that of the school teacher has most to do with the shaping of the careers of the children of the country, In many ways, the devotion of the teacher excels that of the parent. Children in a home grow up, and as they reach maturity par ents are relieved of responsibility and care, but o the teacher no such relief comes. One gener ation of ¢hildren succeeds another at the school nd the process of training them, of fixing their ideas, directing their thoughts, and opening their ninds is continuous. Forty years of this work comprises experience that is beyond exy she . service that deserves reward far grea tha it will be paid.

The Bee first installed linotype machines in February, 1894, being the first publication in Omaha to adopt the new method of type compo sition. At that time a linotype for a rural weekly was not thought of as practicable Now many weekly publications use the modern machine with advantage and profit Omaha has literally been the ticisms of but no doubt some vulgar Omahans will continue to cat mashed potatoes with a sublime disregard for the madam'’s dis- approval and probably they will continue to use Sidney hit where the great Mrs, Rorer Telegraph she lives caustic ¢ | finger bowls without heralding their entree with | one of the Rorer’s sarcastic stories, Cleopatra and her contemporaries used finger bowls and they have ever been as much a part of the table have to those service fork and as uninspirational of comment except individuals whose im mediate ancestors ate from a common receptacle as in the middle of the board, using those familiar implements, the fingers, with which to salvage generous morsels from the mass, Mrs. Rorer carries the marks and evidence of having made a sudden jump from her forefathers squatting around a conglomerate stew, to her present high and exalted from which she attempts to teach Nebraskans how to eat state David City Banner A special train of emi- nent eastern advertising experts are touring Ne- braska this week with two-fold purpose, to ad vertise the east and west and to see what the west really is and has. This is a good thing for both, but far better for them than us. We know what they have but they are ignorant as to what we have, They will go back much wiser and with a better understanding of the west than they ever had, The one grand mistake they will make is not coming to David City. We are situ- ated in the very center of the richest part of the state and by going around us they will miss see- ing the very best part Grand Island Independent: It may be of in- terest to the public to know that the contem- plated "Seeing-Nebraska” trip for some thirty- five to fifty large castern manufacturers and ad- vertisers, who probably have never been west of Chicago, is being paid for by some of the leading newspapers of Nebraska in co-operation with the rqllmar‘u, the latter also contributing financially, The Independent is, perhaps, one of the smaller contributors to the J‘Ln its cash donation being only $50. This participation has been based upon the relative amounts of foreign advertising car- ried by the sey leading newspapers of the state, and it has been generally admitted that this paper carries more home advertising, in compari- son with its foreign advertising, than nearly any other newspaper in the state, If in addition to this work of the newspapers it were possible to compute the value of the advertising given Ne- braska as a state by all of its newspapers, can any one guess the amount, at the usual com- mercial rates, that is thus freely given? Shelton Clipper: And now Bryan blames the “corporation controlled newspapers” for the story that he would attend the St. Louis convention as a delegate from Nebraska or an alternate from some other state, If he rnr\ as a representative of the newspapers he will not refuse the money he receives for furnishing convention dope. York Republican: Our democratic friends will have two special trains to the St. Louis con- vention. One starts from Omaha and will have the regulation commissary, The other begins its solemn journey at Lincoln and will be stocked with grape juice. One combination express, bag- gage and passenger car will be all that will be necessary on this train, but the demand for tick- ets on the Omaha special indicates that it will have to be run in three or four sections. This the wicked flourish while the good man waits in lone- sOmencss. Twice Told Tales A Come Back. A lady was continually accusing her servant of extravagance without any real cause, The servant always bore this accusation patiently One day the servant informed her mistress that the coal had all been consumed. This was followed by the usual remark on the part of the mistress, who finished up by saying “You evidently eat it!” The next day the candles were all gone “Candles gone!" said the mistress. “Why, 1 bought half a pound only a fortnight ago. “Oh, well." rejoined the now disgusted serv- ant, “I can tell you where the candles have gone.

P. JOHNSON, Flag Day and America. Ogalalla, Neb,, June 6.-To the Editor of The Bee: President Wilson has fssued his proclamation for the observance of Flag day, It is well. We Americans have more and more cause to and respect the old flag, We are neither Englishmen, Irishmen, Frenchmen, or Germans, We are simply Amerleans, We owe no alleglance to any forelgn king, czar or kalser Our only alleglance fs to that dear old flag wo all love so well, It went with General Washing ton when he crossed the Delaware, with Comodore Perry when he sunk the British fleet in Lake Erle, and it sailed with him around the globe when he opened the ports of Jupan; it was borne by our brave hoys in blue when they stormed Lookout mountaln, It went with Sherman from Chattanoogs and Atlants to Bavannsh, It was with Grant at Vieksburg, with Meado at Get- tysburg, with Schofleld st Franklin, with Thomas at Nushville. Under its ample folds nernl Robert K. Lee and his brave army down thelr guns st Appomattox. It floated proudly at the masthead when Ad miral Dewey steamed Into Manila harbor, and It was carried in the front ranks when our brave boys marched up Ban Juan hill.

Yes, for although the censorship is o tight that no letters can pass, yet once in & great while one reaches our shores, ‘They all bring the same message; they all breathe the same prayer, "God bless you Americany.” As loyal Americans let us hope that our country's future may be as glorious as the past, and that sometime and somehow thut old flag may bring pesce on eswrth and woodwill toward all mankind, EDWIN M. SEARLE, love Laudation for Yerring Omaha, June 8, 1916,--To the Editor of The Bee: 1 nee by the news item contained on front page of the noon edition of Bee of even date, that three of the Houth Side high school have revigned under pressure, I am not at all surprised at this, particu- lurly so with reference to Prof. Wm. Yer- rington, He Is the only one of the three with whom I am proud to number as one of my mequaintances, and after listen- Ing to several lectures by Prof. Yerring- ton I came to the conclusion that he was entirely too progressive in thought and in- dependent in metion to sult some of the re- actionaries on the Board of Edueation and sooner or Iater they would get him. T consider Prof. Yerrington one of the most highly polished, accomplished and dig- nified educators that it has been good fortune to meet and listen to, He stands head and shoulders above any of the reactionaries that have at last got his goat for his advanced position on economies 1 dare say some of those shining lights (very dim) of the Hoard of Kdueation could not properly define economics if their very life depended upon it, and when Chalrman Wood land of the teachers' ays the shaking up is for the benefit of the service he meuns it in for the good of the capitalist system, He not want a teacher to teach the truth, se if the truth wa taught in our se colleges and univer sities, the damnable thing known as cupi my committee the | taliam would disappear off the face of the eurth. | Prof, Yerrington can grace and dignify the chalr of economics in uny school, col lege or university in the United States, and he has the instructor who taught Mr. Wood d off the boards for knowledge. nt Board of Education thinks that they can pursue the same policy of re action that has distingulshed the universities of Pennaylvania and Wisconsin and get away with it, they will awaken some bright morn ing to find the schools ut last in the hands of their only true friends, the Sc Truth list purty crushed to earth will rise again, und to smite its traducers, Truth thrives on persecution.
