The endorsement of Hughes by the national organization of the progressives precipitates a problem in Nebraska to avoid the complication of two sets of presidential electors. To make an effective drive at the political enemy, all the votes for Hughes must be concentrated for one elec- toral ticket, which is easy in most states where nominations are yet to be made, but not so easy in states like Nebraska, that filled all places in the same primaries in which convention delegates were chosen, where the situation calls for unifica- tion by withdrawals and substitutions. This is just the reverse process of what we encountered four years aio, when our task was to unscramble a mixed electoral ticket so that republican votes could be counted for Taft and bull moose votes for Roosevelt. It is the same problem, however, which the democrats and pop- ulists used to solve by means of fusion electors to be voted for the democratic candidate for president. Personally, we believe it would be better, sim- pler and less deceptive to have the whole progres- sive party ticket in Nebraska withdrawn, but we see obstacles in the way, particularly in the fact that parts of this progressive ticket have been purloined by democratic candidates thus assum- ing to wear the bull moose brand, and doubtless with no intention to dispossess themselves. None of the progressive party nominations in Ne- braska, however, have been made by more than 200 to 300 votes, and this, too, should be taken into consideration. Everyone must realize that the 1916 contest is to be between Hughes and Wilson—between republicans and democrats—and that nothing is to be gained by diverting votes to side-pockets labelled “Progressive” or “People’s Independent.” What the people want is a ballot by which they can register their choice without confusion and without mistake, and that is what they should have. er Rates Once More. The publication of a list of summer excursion rates, showing fares charged by the railroads for passage from Omaha to eastern points and for the same service from Kai City is an un- pleasant reminder of the attitude of the rail- roads towards this city. Omaha people are won- dering by what sort of legerdemain it was pos- sible to give Kansas City the advantage it en- joys. For all practical purposes, the distances "between the two and the eastern points to which summer rates are quoted is the same. But Kan- sas City is given the benefit of discrimination of from $7 to $10 in the list. Some other items in !hi bill of prices are calculated to pique curiosity, cause some suspicion to rest on the claim of scientific infallibility set up for modern rate mak- ing methods. The principal thought will be given to the obvious unfairness of the arrangement. Unofficial Mediation Sometimes Effective. Objection has been raised in Washington to the holding of a proposed peace conference, “some- where in New Mexico,” because of its unofficial character and the likelihood of its causing “diplomatic complications,” The absurdity of the objection is plain on its face. How could a case be more completely complicated than the present relations between the United States and Mexico? President :Wilson has refused to accept official mediation until certain the nonjusticiable in the controversy have been cleared up. He is justified in this, but as the process involves bringing to bear on Venustiano Carranza some in- fluence potent enough to cause him to listen to reason, it would be a proper course to encourage rather than repel advances that might bring about the solution sought. In all wars, unofficial steps have paved the way to official acts. No nation can afford to make a formal act, looking to concessions on its part or asking for them from another, in the interests of peace, until assured its move will not be mistaken. The tendering of “good offices” is pro forma, and does not carry with it any sort of obligation be- yond a willingness to act as intermediary if invited to do so. Since diplomacy has had a place in the government of the' world actions for which no nation would accept responsibility have aided in determining the course of history. In the end enlightened rulers are mindful of the wishes of their people, and the better way of ascertaining this is through unofficial channels. Mr: Wilson's mistaken use of unofficial inquiry has brought Mexican affairs to their present pass. He should welcome any sort of means that will give him peace with honor, Echo From a Burst Boom. Stockholders in the defunct Independent Tele- phone company have just heard an echo that is almost a reverberation of the boom that burst. Holders of bonds of the dead and gone concern have been given permission to sue stockholders to recover on a deficiency judgment. To be sure, the plaintiffs are confronted by the necessity of first catching the stockholders, which is not going to be an easy thing to do, as through some unde- termined agency the stock books long ago van- ished. All in all, a rather effective illustration is presented of some of the dangers of venturing into hazardous fields of long distance finance. Also, it might be said, if one were inclined to be cynical, that the Bell company will find in the in- cident some argument to present to future in- vestors, the experience of the Omaha stockholders serving to show the uncertainty of returns and the certainty of trouble in the effort to establish a second telephone system which was never needed. Unexampled attendance on the re-established summer school is reported, but the explanation is not the backwardness of the pupils so much as the desire to make up time lost as a result of the epidemic of quarantines during the winter. Re- gardless of this, summer school is a good thing and ought never to have been abolished, as The Bee contended all the time. — While some people entertain doubts on va- rious public concerns, present and future, absolute confidence prevails at the rival presidential head- quarters. Not a cloud flecks the political sky, the seas are calm and favoring winds fill the sails. The rest of the population might profitably imbibe the glowing spirit of the prospect and smilingly greet events as they come. . Our amiable democratic contemporary has suddenly discovered what a great man Vice President Marshall is. But just what an awful calamity would befall the nation if anything should happen to President Wilson between now and next March 4 to put Vice President,| Marshall, of ‘his own' right; ‘in’ the White House for even a few days. Mexico in the Campaign Collier’s Weekly Mr. Hughes’ Views. The principal indictment of the Wilson admin- istration made by Mr. Hughes in his telegram of acceptance had to do with Mexico. His words ware: “But it is most regrettably true that in our foreign relations we have suffered incalcu- lably from the weak and vacillating course which has been taken with regard to Mexico— a course lamentably wrong with regard to both our rights and our duties. We interfered with- out consistency; and while seeking to dictate when we werd not concerned, we utterly failed to appreciate and discharge our plain duty to our own citizens. It would be justifiable to assume that Mr. Hughes will make Mexico one of the two chief issues of his campaign. “Direct Responsibility.” The New York Evening Post is as well known for the high-minded conscientiousness of its editorial page as is any American newspaper. Among the causes to which the Post has been devoted for more than a generation the most conspicuous are peace and justice toward inferior races. An expression from that newspaper upon Wilson’s Mexican policy may be presumed to start with as keen a desire for the welfare of the Mexicans as the president could possibly have. Also the following paragraph from one of its editorials can be read in the light of the fact that the Post has been one of the heartier supporters and admirers of the president “Intelligent comment upon an unintelligible situation is so difficult that it is not strange that the American press has had so little to say recently about Mexican affairs. That they have fallen into a deplorable state is evident. Who is in power, how long he will be, what the bitter factions are all about, what Villa is driving at, what chance there is of even the semblance of order coming out of chaos— these are questions which nobody is able to answer with any certainty. That the admin- istration at Washington is gravely concerned over what is going on in Mexico admits of no doubt. It has too direct responsibility for what has occurred not to be extremely anxious about the outcome.” It is true a good many months have passed since this was printed. (It goes back to the time when Villa was Mr. Wilson's favorite in Mex- ico.) But it would be difficult to claim seriously that our Mexican imbroglio has grown better with time, “Now” and “Then.” When Senator Borah was making his indict- ment of Wilson’s Mexican policy some months ago he was interrupted by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, who thought it smart to ask: “I conceive that he (Senator Borah) should tell us in a very brief way just what action he would take if he were president. Will the sen- ator from Idaho tell us what he would do now . if that burden fell upon him? The important word in this question is “now.” Many democrats and defenders of the resident’s Mexican policy seem to think it a suf- ciently adequate defense to say: “What would you do?” Of course what a critic would do now to mend a situation which has been bungled is one thing, but what should have been done in the beginning is another matter. The president made a mistake, It was a mistake which placed upon him unescapably responsibility for the pres- ent state of Mexico. He adopted a policy which was bound to end in chaos and whicfl could only be remedied by armed intervention. Having ar- rived at the chaos he sidestepped and back- stepped. And yet armed intervention was the only logical end of the policy which Mr. Wilson started, with his eyes completely open. Having arrived at 4 stage which became intolerable, and which could only be cured by an American army on police duty, Mr. Wilson’s friends and par- tisans presume to say his policy must not be criticised because criticism implies, inevitably, now, the dread word intervention. Negative Intervention. Mr. Wilson has always maintained that his policy in Mexico is nonintervention. As a mat- ter of fact, it has been intervention. To tell a country it cannot have a certain man for presi- dent is intervention. To tell a de facto president, as Huerta was, that he must get out, falls within the same definition. From the date of that act Mr. Wilson had a responsibility, of his own as- suming, for what went on in Mexico. Twice Told Tales Reason Enough. David and Walter had not met in some time and one morning when they boarded ‘the same car they began a chat of old times. “And when is your marriage to Carolyn Hathaway coming off, Dave?” queried Walter. “It has been postponed indefinitely,” replied David. “Is that so?” said Walter, in surprise. “What's the trouble?” “She married another fellow."—Philadelphia Ledger. Il Wind and a Good One. “Gentlemen,” said the innocent-looking young man, “many people would be disposed to doubt some of the stories that you have been telling about the freaks of the wind, but I don’t, The man who told how the wind took off the roof of his and his neighbor's houses, exchanged them and nailed them down, has my unlimited con- fidence. My father had an experience which will not permit me to be skeptical. “Did he have a house blown down?" “No; he hadn’t any house to be blown down. He had been living in a hotel waiting for his new residence in the country tb be completed. All the material was lying out in the fields and the plans were in a toolshed near by. When he went to look at the place one morning he found that the wind had broken open the toolhouse, secured the plans, built the whole house up, cleaned the windows and started a fire in the kitchen range.” Each man picked up his hat and went home.— Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. People and Events Fluffy patrons of the municipal dance halls of Cleveland must make an age showing of “18 years or over” to enjoy the privileges of the floor. When the dance fvull ingpector is in doubt, the birth certificate must be produced. The centenary of the birth of John G. Saxe, the poet, was observed at his birthplace, Middle- bury, Vt, last week. Saxe distinguished himself as a politician, lawyer and officeholder, and im- mortalized the bygone mud of Omaha, “Where rolls the dark Missouri down.” A former big league baseball manager at- tempted to qualify for 4 civil service job at Cin- cinnati. After trying the examination papers and doing mental teamwork with a stack of fool ques- tions in such cases made and provided, he went to bat the first question ut over the plate, “Name the largest bone in the human frame:” Swinging his club with the vigor of confidence he answered: “The head.” The heartless umpire ordered him to the bench. i A The Ancient and Honorable Horse Thief De- tective Society of Richmond, Ind., recently re- nded to a hurry call for service and combed the neighborhood for the purloiners of a horse and buggy. The search ended when a phone call from a village six miles announced the capture of the outfit. Two kiddies of 4 and § years wanted a joyride, unhitched the horse, got into the buggy and let the horse, without lines, choose his own route. Except for the subsequent slipper the kids had a great time. 1916. The Bees, Oh! Is This Jealousy? Omaha, June 28.—To the Editor of The Bee: 1 see by the papers that Mr. Maher is slated to be in command of another regi- ment to be recruited in Nebraska for service in Mexico. Mr. Maher knows himself he has not seen any military service even in the Nebraska Guard, since he was mustered out of the Second Nebraska, in 1898. Mili- tary methods in the United States army have radically changed in eighteen years. This is not a time for politics or pull, but for competency, so now, if you must, use your political pull, if it must enter into the Sixth regiment to place in command a man who is competent, General P. L. Hall, for instance, and accept a commission for which you are fitted. OLD SECOND NEBRASKA INFANTRY- -MAN Proud of Tenth Cavalry. Clarinda, la., June 27.—To the Editor of The Bee: Proudly I write of the heroism of eur boys of the Tenth cavalry and may it go down in history fighting in front for that noble flag, red, white and blue. We can be proud not only of them, but of every negro who rallies to the country's eause. We know of no other home but the home of the free and the land of the brave. Our only demand is, not equal protection, but protection from one star and stripe for which we will s0 nobly give our lives when commanded so to do. In time of peace we are loyal and in time of hostilities we are a breastwork of protection. Let me correct one statement; we are not all law-abiding, but we cannot account for the downtrodden of our race. Every race has its superiors and inferiors. A few more years of edu- cation and a great many more opportunities will enable us to reach the highest scale of civilization. Through education our race will be saved. Again I say all hail to our negro boys in blue, who died for defense of this country. With bleeding hearts and souls to groan They were left alone to moan But Jesus who watches over all DI that day hear their pleading call. MRS. R. T. LANE. No Conventien by Initiative Law. Grand Island, Neb., June 28.—To the Edi- tor of The Bee: On the question of the call- ing of a constitutional convention, a partial poll of the candidates for the legislature shows a strong majority favorable. In view of this important fact, the Nebraska Popu- lar Government league will not file its initia- tive petition asking that the question be sub- mitted to the voters next November. The executive committee of the league believes that since the members of the next legislature will be favorable, the better inter- ests of the movement will be conserved by letting the legislature submit the question. It will save much expense and aveid the danger that the presidential campaign and the prohibition amendment might overshadow constitution. signatures has been eminently a success. Over 1,000 men have helped in circulating the petition and the movement has had the active co-operation of the Farmers' Co-operative union, the Ne- braska State grange, the Farmers' Elevator union, the State Association of Commercial nd the members of the bar associa- and a large percentage of the mem- vers and ex-members of the legislature. Those who have circulated the petition and helped to bear the expen: f the work, can rightly feel that they hi complished the ulti- mate end sought, ely, the submission of the question to the people. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, By C. A. Sorensen, Secretary. A Query—Give It Up, Springfield, Neb,, June 28,.—To the Editor of The Bee: A short time ago I received an eastern paper containing the following ad: “Jokers! I will send you the greatest joke of the twentieth century for 10 cents.” Now I appreciate a good joke very much, and sent my dime and received a slip of paper with nothing but the name, “Wood- row Wilson” on it. Now do you think, that under the cireum- stances, I could prosecute the advertiser for obtaining money under false representation? B. WILSON. Then Why a Seldiers’ Home? Neb., June 27.—To the Editor Cicero Bristol, city clerk of in the early seventies, an old in " educated and courteous ‘gentle- man, was refused care in the Soldiers’ home because he lapses of memory and is unable to converse intelligently, He is quiet, inoffensive and obedient, showing at all times the courtesy of the old school that was characteristic of him in former years. He is being well cared for in a private hos- pital by one woman who also looks after cther patients at the same time, at so much per week, which his only child, a daughter, pays from her meagre income. One member of the board of control, who has never been noted for his extreme friend- ship to the old veterans who fought in the civil war, says the proper place for him is in the asylum, which is very repugnant to the members of the G. A. R, Sons of Veter- ans and all loyal citizens who believe that the soldiers’ homes have been constructed and are supported to care for those who, by reason of their services to their country, are bereft of reason and require but little extra care. There is .nothing vicious about this old veteran. He apparently realizes all that goes on around him and tries to col- lect his scattered thoughts to converse. The treatment that this solier receives will not be very encouraging to those who are now called to the front who may re. turn bereft of reason by disease or wounds, and yet capable of distinguishing between an i sylum and a soldiers’ home. m; inht numbers mourn,” Tips on Home Topics.
