Aside from the very vital considera- tion of economy that can be secured only through this means, the budget system has other attractive features which must commend it to all who are familiar with national affairs. Under the present method no continuing program is possible, for the reason that all appropriations must originate in the house of representatives, and no congress can take action binding its successor. This means that great public works of any kind must be wholly provided for by the congress with which they are begun or be subject to possibility of changed by subsequent sessions. That this method leads inkvitably to delays, to extravagance and to inefficiency the experience of the government has many times proved. A budget can be made continuing, and under its operation provision for carrying on definite programs for construction and improvements are possible, Such a system will do away with the perennial farce of the rivers and harbors bill, the ~public buildings bill, and other measures to which attaches the taint of “pork,” and will also permit a definite policy for expenditure in connection with national defense. Administration of the business affairs of government will be given more the aspect of business and less of politics, for the very good reason that politics of the peanut vari- ety will cut less figure in the big appropriation measures. The plan is not urged as a novelty at this time. It was seriously proposed by the last re- publican administration, and rejected by the demo- crats, who controlled the house, as subversive of their constitutional prerogative. But the budget is business and will prevail The Battle of the “Bills.” Nebraska's unterrified at St. Louis gave the nation an impressive illustration of the peace and harmony prevailing in democratic councils hereabouts. “Bill” Price and: “Bill” Thompson locked horns in a struggle to the death for a place on the platform committee, continuing the row that has been present since first “Bill” Bryan dawned on the sky of Nebraska politics. “Bill’ Oldham also figured in the rumpus as an active participant. That it was finally ended by giving the job to Judge Thomas, who didn't get to be dis- trict attorney for Nebraska, isn't going to heal the breach. It doesn’t matter much, for neither side is willing to give up. Only the lust for of- fice ever brings them together. The split will not be closed this time, for Mr. Bryan will not let it, and the state candidates now look disconso- lately to November, when they will reap the har- vest that is sown at the Battle of the “Bills.” | “Watohful Wai ting” Coming to an End, Washington authorities are plainly disturbed over the turn taken in the affairs of Mexico. Carranza has convinced even his great and good friend, Mr. Wilson, of his insincerity and incapac- ity, and so ends the chapter of “Watchful Wait- ing” that may properly be captiofed “Miserable Meddling.” What the next chapter will be can only be surmised, but the situation is one that leaves little room for guess work. The point is near at hand where President Wilson will have to supplement his admonitions with something de- cidedly more effective than words, no matter how brave they be, or to finally act on the advice he has given his countrymen, and let the Mexi- cans settle the matter among themselves. This latter course, unfortunately, is fraught with much danger, the Mexicans having little respect for the “fordable river,” onthis side of which lies much to tempt them into violation of a neutrality that means nothing to them. All of which forces the conclusion that a more dignified and definite at- titude must be taken by our government towards Mexico, and very shortly. ) Republicans Did Not Forget Veterans. Democrats, groping around for something in the republican platform to object to, say the re- publicans have forgotten the veteran soldiers of the country., No man who ever wore the bluf or the khaki will believe this. The republicans have ever been the friend of the soldier. His pension comes to him from the government as his due, and under laws enacted by the republicans over democratic objection, It is not required that the republican party specifically declare its intention to regard the laws made in pursuit of its policy. So far as is recorded, no republican has yet re- ferred to the Grand Army of the Republic as a “grand army of beggars,” or expressed consola- tion in the thought that soon all the veterans would be dead and the pension roll would disap- pear. Democratf who are sincerely desirous of their party's success will avoid reference to its ‘record on pensions. Hope Deferred for Gotham. It goes without saying that many people here- ‘abouts will be interested in the announcement just made in New York that the “Billy” Sunday campaign, which was scheduled for Gotham for January 1, next, to cover a period of three or four months, is ended insofar as the 1917 cam- paign is concerned. The explanation is made that inability to acquire a suitable site on which to build a tabernacle is the stumbling block and that, notwithstanding the availability of several large permanent meeting halls there, “Billy’s” ultima- tum is that he will not come unless a tabernacle of his own design is built for him. That means, of course, that Gotham will be permitted to wal- low in its wickedness for at least another year or two, and that sin-secking inhabitants of places already saved by Sunday may continue to make New York their objective point. ‘All we can say is that we feel mighty sorry for the poor New Yorkers who must curb their eagerness for trail hitting and risk answering the final summons be- fore “Billy” brings them salvation. Incidentally, we feel sorry for the New York newspapers thus wantonly deprived of an unfailing ' source of stirring news and entertaining features which the “Billy"” Sunday engagement would have fur- nished them for the entire period of the reyival, — A woeful lack of unity obtains in the medical profession, One of the few fundamentals which doctors revere is assailed as a back number method of impressing the lay world. It is diffi- cult at this moment to diagnose the nerve of the Illinois medical professor who denounces the use of Latin in writing prescriptions as a humbug. Moreover, the professor charges that Latin names sell common drugs at fancy prices, which enriches the druggist more than the doctors. If there is no gain why not cut out the Latin and write plain United States? Drug consumers offer no objec- tion. | THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, Meeting With Kitchener By an American Officer. THE first week in January, 1906, I joined the entourage of him who was then prince of Wales, now King George V, in Bombay as the traveling correspondent for Collier's Weekly. I had just come, via Borneo, from the Philippines, where I had been for several weeks the guest of General Leonard Wood during his suppression of Dato Ali's Moro uprising in Mindanao. My chief purpose in the trip to India was to have a good talk with Lord Kitchener, then commander-in-chief of the Indian army. I could claim no originality for such a purpose, as a simildr one has doubtless animated every war correspondent who has come within reach of him during the last thirty years. And as most of them have failed, my hopes were not par- ticularly high. However, fortune, and the fact that the country was not in a state of war, fa- vored me. At Simla the commander-in-chief met the prince of Wales, and I got my first view of him— at a distance. I stood just outside the marquee under which the prince and princess were re- ceiving. Kitchener stood immediately behind the prince. I bore in mind all the time what Fred- eric Villiers had said to me: “Remember when you see him that he is the most British thing that ever lived; more so than the abbey or the tower, or Wellington or Nelson. No other Eng- lishman was ever so universal. And perhaps that is because he is Irish-French. The only word to express him is a German one—unend- lichkeit.” That night I jotted down my first impressions in the following words: “A mighty head sur- mounts eyes reflecting deep passion. He wears an eight and a half hat. They say he is unemo- tional, but the face tells a different story; it is flogged with the exorcism of terrific travail. They say he is speechless, but there must be great driving force for such an awful engine; you can look into the power house through his eyes. One is glazed; looks like glass; evidently paralyzed by the Hundub bullet. This gives an odd effect, as though it were looking through space, with seer-like vision, The other searches everything to the core. These mismatched eyes have a queer effect on everybody; they ‘get your goat” They're like Roosevelt's teeth; the ab- normality hypnotizes you; your mental concen- tration goes for the moment and the owner holds you at a temporary disadvantage. He is a bit {aunchy; lower jaw not as firm as I expected. ooks as if India was ‘getting’ him; he has licked Curzon, but how about the climate? An- noyed at the flub-dub of a reception; stands like a big mastiff in a nursery; afraid to move for fear of smashing the toys. Glad I didn’t speak to him today; looked as if he'd like to have or- dered someone shot before sunrise.” A week later the prince traveled to Madras. The day after -he left I sent word to the captain in Fort William that I cohtemplated leaving Calcutta within forty-eight hours, and that aft- ernoon received a return word that if I would call at 9 the following morning Lord Kitchener would see me. Five minutes before the hour I was in the captain’s office and precisely at 9 was ushered into the apartments of the “British Empire, Ex- hibit No. 1.” : Instead of being repelling or gruff, Kitchener made exactly the opposite impression on me. He seemed like an ofi'l shoe—very ecasy to gel along with. My preconceived notions of an in- human monster, a sort of Gorgon who ate a newspaper man or two every morning before breakfast, rapidly dissipated. He seemed more like a country squire with pipe and slippers, who never knew very well how to talk and was afraid to trust himself to speech, but who was a prince of courtesy, and with all the time in the world at his disposal. Out of the mass of notes I made that. night of all the things Kitchener said, I cull the fol- lowing, as being of pertinent interest, after the lapse of ten years, and now that he is gone forever: “What will you do,” I asked, “now that Roose- velt and the czar have declared universal peace?” “We will always need and we will always have soldiers,” he replied. “They are absolutely essential in the highest civilization. Without the mylitary spirit nations decay. The basis of all sound government is the military spirit. As for industrial, commercial, and economic life, I would say that nothing in it can endure without the military spirit.” “You mean discipline, method, seniority?” “No. Discipline has just the same relation to military spirit that the uniform has to a man. 1916. The Pees effer How Loan Companies Edge Up. Omaha, June 14.—To the Editor of The Bee: Having become imbued with the be- lief that a law was passed propibiting a loan company from charging usurious rates of interest, and being in need of $40, I felt safe in making application for that a nt from a local company. Their an- swers to my questions were evasive and, as I found afterward, were misleading. I understood that I was to be charged $5.88 for the use of 8§40 for six months. When myself and wife called for the money, a week later, and after filling out a lengthy blank, giving a chattel mortgage on our furniture, these documents were placed safely in the desk and $39 laid be- fore us, the “shark” spoke as follows: “I have deducted 50 cents for notary fee, 50 cents, for checking up your furniture, and here is your $39. Now you will pay this back $5 a month plus interest at 10 per cent for five months. The sixth month you will pay the remainder plus $4 brok- erage fee, plus interest, which is $19.13. Now if you cannot pay all of the last month’s payment, you shall only pay $1.18. and we will consider the $18 & separate | loan which we will charge you $3 a month for the use of.” Will some lawyer kindly tell if a loan company can tack on a so-called brokerage fee to the last payment to prevent the bor- rower from meeting the obligation so that they can charge $3 a month to keep the small salaried borrower from ever getting the loan cleared? Is this ti tion legal? I feel sure that there are many others in Omaha who will join me in thanking The Bee and all others who will give legal advice in regard to the above. M. W. C. ' Defeat of Suffrage in lowa. South Side, Omaha, June 14.—To the Editor of The Be When the ‘suffrage fight was on in Nel ka in 1914 the charge was made from one end of the state to the other by the suffrage workers, that the only ones opposed to woman suffrage were saloon keepers, loafers and criminals. I saw a letter that was written to Mrs. Crumpacker by one of the most ardent s It's a supporter, a set-off; that’s all. Perhaps I should say the fighting spirit is what I mean. Without the fighting spirit a nation—or a man— 18 rot. “In America you seem to have this fighting spirit without the military. In industry, in com- merce, on the football field, in politics—every- where—you seem to be fighting, fighting, every- where, all the time, something, everything. And you seem to get along well without the military. “I presume that this national fighting spirit accounts for the fact that the military doesn’t stand as high with you as with us. We need it more. Take a young man in England born to money, and usually his highest ambition is to keep it, have a good time, and preserve his reputation, In America, if a man is born, say, to twelve millions, he'll stake it all on a throw to make it nothing or twenty-four millions; not gambling, but in legitimate enterprises, in pro- gress, in fighting—industrially, commercially. He is not content with what his father left him. He wants to do something for himself.” As Kitchener, at that time, had never been in America, 1 asked him how he had managed to become so well acquainted with what he liked to believe were our chief characteristics. “I've been watching you,” said he. “I had Americans in the Soudan. I used to buy loco- motives and steel trusses of them—also of Eng- lishmen, The English would send out the stuff, “take it or leave it." The Americans would send out theirs with a man or two to put it up. They'd say to me, ‘We want you satisfied or we don't want your money.” “But,” said I, “the English engines would last twice as long.” “Sometimes,” replied Kitchener, “though be- fore the Americans’ were worn. out they would have improved ones twice as good as the Eng- lish.” He continued: “I'd send those chaps out into the desert on a job. Blessed hard jobs they were, too, some- times, and they always went off without a whimper or question. T remember once I was sending. a young chap out, a railway constructor. I think he came from Pittsburgh; a slight, wiry youngster, all nerves and sinew, quite different from any of the English chaps. It was about the worst go I'd had up -to that time. I remem- ber as he left T said to him to show he was going with my sympathy: *‘That's a bad billet you've got there! So!" said he, ‘but you want it done! “'It must be done, said I, ‘somehow.’ “‘I'll do it, then,’ said he, and started. I liked the way he spoke, and called after him: “'How are you going to work it off thers in the desert without any communication?’ “He hardly stopped, but said, over his shoul- der: 'Oh, T guess we'll put the whistle up first and tie the engine to that! “I never forgot him. He appealed to me. “Another thing I remember about those American chaps—I could never get one to stop long enough to decorate him. When that one got through tying his engine to the whistle I sent word 1 wanted him to come to Cairo, where I could present an ordér. He sent back word to thank me, but added he was sorry he hadn't time. He was off on a job,in Spain and couldn’t wait. I had to send the ribbon after him.” frage workers in the state in which he made was working in the d the lower ele- of soclety by working against woman suffrage. While Mrs. Crumpacker, who is a woman of very high personal character, was greatly offended at the tone of the letter, she deemed it the part of wisdom not to pay any attention to it. / The strong worker: inst suffrage were very indignant ove: charge, for it is a well-known faet that all of the strong work- ers against suffrage were of as hikh stand- ing as the suffrage worke: Now, when the great state of Iowa votes on suffrage it is beaten, with the anti-suffragists only making & passive fight againat it. Had the same strong fight been made against it as was made in t] tate in 1914, it is likely that it would been beaten by a much stronger majorit) The suffragists certainly cannot claim that the saloon keepers and bums beat suffrage in the prohibition state of lowa. « Thousands of fafmers all over the state voted against suffrage because their wives and daughters are opposed to it and because they do not care to mix up in political affairs. People divide on the suffrage question the same a8 on other public questions, and while some tough people may oppose it, it is more than probable that all who favor suf- frage are not angels. The republicans, “in their convention at Chicago last week, while adopting a mild form of suffrage plank, were probably largely opposed to the proposition, but the plank was put into the platform as a matter of expediency, and the demos s will prob- ably do the same thing this week by putting a suffrage plank into their platform as a matter of political expediency. When the large body of women want the right of: suffrage, it will be time enough to give it to thes Those who opposed the propesition in this state in 1914 feel that they have been vin- dicated from the charges made against them then, by the result in the prohibition state of Towa last wul:.

BARKLEY, President Nebraska Woman's Suffrage asso- ciation. Josie-in-the-Sandhills, June 13,—To the Nebraska Delegation, Democratic Conven- tion, St. Louis, Gentlemen: As delegates to a national convention about to formulate a party platform, you represent a state which is purely agricultural. Do you real- ize that women are the very foundation and mainstay of agriculturé and therefore the prime suppogters of your state? Nebraska fwomen on farms and ranches cannot leave their homes to take part in demonstrations, for they are too busy at this season helping~ in production which eventually makes all the wheels of trade g0 round; but it is time for them to a share in government as well as in in- dustry. | For farm women of the state, particulacly those who live in the remote parts of the sandhills, who can take part in public uf- fairs only by the vote, I ask.that the Ne- braska delegation do justice to its women and honor to the state by working and vot- ing for a suffrage plank in the national platform.
