G, Hunt was celebrated i- ‘ Hlll.w ebrated at their resi Peace May Yet Be Restored. That war with Mexico may be averted, or rather restored, is quite within the range of pos- sibilities at this time, The fact that Carranza has yielded to the demand that American troopers held prisoners be released shows a change in his attitude. His advisers are fully cognizant that to press the United States to the point of entering Mexico will put an end to their aspirations. Bom- bastic pronunciamentos will not serve to obscure this feature of the situation. Therefore, however truculent they may be, they will eagerly assent to mediation proposed by the South American nations, hoping thus to perpetuate themselves as leaders in Mexican affairs. President Wilson will now have the determining voice as to whether a peaceful adjustment of the whole situation may be reached. His first condition precedent to consideration of mediation has been met; Car- ranza has yielded one point, and if the tone of his reply to the note sent last week is conciliatory, and he shows himself capable of meeting the issue in a spirit of concession and desire to maintain friendly relations, it is possible war will be post- poned, at least until after the mediators have made full inquiry. Release of the prisoners held at Chi- huahua has been followed by a relaxation of the diplomatic tension, but the military activity of preparation still persists. Uncle Sam is going to be ready when the next break comes. e—e The Amalgamating Process. The process of amalgamating the republican and progressive parties behind the Hughes and Fairbanks ticket is making notable headway, and the reunion of the elements that split apart four years ago is being accomplished more quickly and effectively even than was hoped for. We say this by way of reassurance against the strained efforts of the democratic organs to exaggerate the friction where it exists and to raise a shout over the declaration of bull moosers with demo- cratic antecedents that they will go back to Wil- son rather than forward to Hughes. While no political party can be absorbed en masse by another, the fact is that the proportion of former democrats—or other irreconcilables in the bull moose leadership—is very small, and still smaller in the ranks. We have had that situ- ation strikingly exemplified here in Nebraska, where, although generaled by a full complement of candidates, the bull moose vote in the prima- ries shrunk to a trifle over 400 for the whole state, while ‘those who had before followed the bull moose called for republican ballots as evidence of their re-alignment with the republican party. This re-integration probably had not at that time been carried so far in other states as here in Ne- braska, but it will be accomplished there also long before the voting in November. As we have already said, the contest for the presidency is straight out between Hughes as the republican standard bearer on the one side, and Wilson as the democratic candidate on the other, with no room for side shows and no incen- tive to “shoot in the air.” Fate of the Man Who Flunks. Hazing by members of the Iowa National Guard of men who refused to take the oath of allegiance required of those who are being mustered into service of the United States in the emergency existing may be looked upon as typical of public sentiment toward the man who fails or flunks in his duty. Making all"possible allowance for the factor of conscience, the first and most important duty of a soldier must not be lost sight of. This is instant and unquestioning obedience to orders coming from proper authority. It is not for the | ‘subordinate to determine, but to do. Unless this be recognized and observed the army fails for lack of discipline, which means effective co-ordi- nation. The thought seems repugnant to the prevalent notion of individual liberty, but it is reasily reconcilable by the logic that must apply 0 the case. The young men who were so roughly ‘dnh_wlth may not be cowards, as the streak of 'yellow would indicate; they may ssess both moral and physical courage in a high degree, but /they are very wrong in their conclusions as to what constitutes a soldier's duty, or as to what is necessarily included in the phrase, “defense of the nation.” Unfortunately for them, they will not likely ever be called upon to prove that their in- dignant assailants were wrong in placing an esti- mate on their qualifications for service. —— Democrats and Child Labor The gush of crocodile tears from' the over- strained optics of the local organ of “deserving democrats” over the workingmen, women and childsen will not fool anybody, even its own edi- tor. He undertakes to deride the action of the republican convention at Chicago, pretending that the delegates lacked sincerity and deliberately planned to deceive the progressives by pretense of adopting advanced ideas as expressed in the platform. While doing this he apparently forgets that the Keating bill, dealing with child labor and passed months ago by the house, has been done to death in a democratic senate. This measure, which struck a direct blow at the evil of child labor, was smothered at the behest of the sena- tors from the south, headed by Underwood of Alabama, author of the tariff measure that was designed particularly for the advantage of the cotton planter. The Keating bill would free the infants now enslaved in the southern cotton mills, where no state law to regulate child labor can be passed, because of democratic opposition. The effect of this is that the northern mills, where child labor is forbidden, must compete with those where child labor is at a premium. Democrats may slobber over the progressives, but they can- not hide from the public the facts of the record made by the party in power, one of the most shameful chapters of which has been its sub- serviency to the cotton barons of Dixieland. Household Necessities and Bath Tubs. A professor over at Ames is shocked by the discovery that Iowa has more automobiles than bath tubs. He insists that properly the tub. should come first, numerically, at least. This will be admitted, for reasons that need not be set down here, but consider, also, that the automabile is now listed amqng houschold necessities. Sub- stitutes for the bath tub are many, and easily accessible, There's the creek, or the horse trough, or even the washtub on the back porch. Between Shank's mare, Dobbip and the automo- bile there’s now no resting place, and the jump is a long one. Besides, the uses of the automobile are not restricted to Saturday night. Why can't the professor be reasonable ::d let the farmer buy his gas buggy, taking chances on his keeping clean, as his fathers did before him? It's an age of progress, and-even notions as to bath- ing are subject to change, while the auto is a dis- tinct improvement over all other means of trans- portation. THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, JUNE 30, The Girl I Left Behind Me Indianapolis News. N ENGLISH-SPEAKING countries it is al- most a certainty that when a regiment leaves its home town or one which it has occupied for some time, or whenever a man-of-war weighs anchor, the band will strike up “The Girl I Left Behind Me.” The song was sung in America during the revolutionary ‘war. Some chroniclers contend that it was introduced into the British army about this time, and that the American soldiers learned it from the British. In some British song books the English lay claim to the air, but there is good evidence to show that it was originally an Irish march to which soldiers in camps along the Eng- lish shore set words, Many versions of the song bear the title “Brighton Camp” from the fact that it was sung so much by soll:‘liers quartered at Brighton, the famous English shore resort. The Brighton encampments were maintained during 1758, and this date has been regarded by some an- tiquaries as the date of the composition of the song. An Irish manuscript music book dated 1770 and containing the song has been found, and Bunting says: “The air was also taken down from A. O'Neil, harper, A. D. 1800—author and date unknown.” The music varies little in the numerous versions which are still sung, but the words vary greatly. One poem which fits the music_is attributed in Brainard’s “Our War Songs” to Samuel Lover, the Irish poet, drzmktist’ musician and novelist, author of “Handy Andy.” But Lover was not born until 1797, consequently it is unlikely that he had much to do with writing the original version. One version, with an Eng- lish flavor, is as follows: I'm lonesome since 1 crossed the hills, And o'er the moor that's sedgy; With heavy thoughts my mind is filled Since 1 have patted Naegy. Whene'er I turn to view the place The tears doth fall and blind me, When 1 think on the charming grace Of the girl I left behind me. ‘The hours I remember well, When next to see doth move me, The burning flames my heart doth feel Since first she owned she loved me. In search of some one fair and gay, Several doth remind me; I know my darling loves me well, Though I left her behind me. Each mutual promise faithfully made, By her whom tears doth blind me, And bless the hours I pass away With the girl I left behind me. My mind her image full retains, Whether asleep or awakened; T hope to see my jewel again, For her my heart is breaking. But if I ever chance to go that way, And that she has not resigned me, I'll reconcile my mind and stay ‘With the girl I felt behind me. Another, with a distinct Irish flavor, which was the most popular among the songs of both northern and southern soldiers during the” civil war, is as follows: The dames of France are fond and free, And Flemish: lips are willing, And soft the maids of Italy, And Spanish eyes are thrilling; Btill, though I bask beneath their smile, Their charms fail to bind me, And my heart falls back to Erin's isle, To the girl I left behind me. For she's as fair as Shannon's side, And purer than its water, But she refused to be my bride Though many s year I sought her; Yet, since to France I sailed away, Her letters oft remind me, That 1 promised never to gainsay The girl I left behind me. . She says: “My own dear love come home, My friends are rich and many, Or else abroad with you I'll roam, A soldier stout as any; If you'll not come, nor let me go, P'll think you have resigned me.” My heart nigh broke when I answered “No,” To the girl I left behind me. For never shall my true love brave A life of war and tolling, And never as a skulking slave T'll tread my native soil on; But were it free or to be freed, The battle's close would find me To Ireland bound, nor me e need From the girl I left ind me. The following version is different in words and music from the foregoing, but the sentiment in both is in harmony with the title: I'm lonesome since I crossed the hills, And o'er the moorland sedgy, Such heaviness my bosom fills, Since parting with by Betsy. 1 speak for one as fair and gay, But find none to remind me, How blest the hours passed away With the girl I left behind me. The hour I remember well, When first' she owned she loved me, A pain within my breast doth tell, How constant 1 have proved me; But now I'm bound for Brighton eamp, Kind Heaven then pray guide me, And send me home, safe back again, To the girl I left behind me. My mind her image must retain, Asleep or sadly waking; 1long to see my love again, For her by heart is breaking. ‘Whene'er my steps return that way, 8till faithful shall she find me, And never more again I'll stray From the girl I've left behind me. The following is another popular Ameri version which has lpfinred inpmpany editiur:sc:'; popular songs during the nineteenth and twentieth gntnl:llgs. The wurds"were copied from the ranklin square song collection, whi int- ed in New York in 1%34: ot I'm lonesome since I crossed the hill, And o'er the moor and valley; Such heavy thought my heart do fill, Since parting with my Sally. 1 seek no more the fine and gay, For each does but remind me, And send me safely back again To the girl I've left behind me. Oh ne'er shall I forget the night, The stars were bright above me, And gently lent their silv'ry light, When first she vowed she loved me. But now I'm bound to Brighton camp, Kind heaven, may favor find me, And send me safely back again To the girl I've left behind me. The bee shall honey taste no more, The dove becom The dashing waves Ere she The vows we've registered above Shall ever cheer and bind me, In constancy to her I love, The girl I've left behind me. My mind her form shall still retain, In sleeping or in waking, Until I see my love again, For whom my heart is breaking. i ;I'h" 1 shall see the day, en Mars shall have resigned me, Forevermore I'll gladly say With the girl I've left behind me. The difference in these versions no doubt about through the circumstance !h:t. ?irte :::; - other songs of this kind, it was in existence many years before it was printed. It was carried from camp to camp by soldiers with an ear for music, and when they forgot the words they supplied new ones. The third version is from an English song book published some fifty E“" ago, con- sequently it may be the current English version. But there are no doubt many other variations and parodies, for the lilt of the song sticks in the memory and it has lived for over a century and a half—a tribute to its appeal to the popular taste. ..

Stromsburg, Neb., June 29.—To the Edi- tor of The Bee: Having read Charles Woos- ter's outburst in The Bee, I move to make a suggestion, I fear that Mr. Wooster would be unwilling to pawn or sell his country seat, Wooster castle, therefore I suggest the advisibllity of starting a sub- scription for the purpose of buying him a little patch of ground right down on.the border. Then he can go down there and live near his beloved friends, the Mexicans. And it might be the means of Mr. Mooster changing that part of him that he thinks he does his thinking with, regarding Presi- dent Wilson's watchful waiting policy—not that it matters. MRS. C. E. CLARK. Experienced—Would Volunteer. Plerce, Neb., June 20.—To the Editor of The Bee: I see that we have war on our hands. I'm ready to go. 1 am only 72 years old and had service i nthe civil war for three years. I enlisted August 2, 1862, as a private and came home as first lieu- tenant.

If the government wants any more men I can raise 100 fine young men in pierce county as you ever saw in ten days. CAPTAIN WILLIAM KING, All for Hughes and Sutton in this county. Noplatte, Neb., June 29.—To the Editor of The Bee: It is with displeasure that I read Mr. Wooster's last two articles, and I note some brother called him for his un- mereiful and unwarranted lambasting of our benovelent and honorable president, Wood- row Wilson, at a time when we should be exerting our very best efforts to assist him. I don't think Mr. Wooster is very patriotic when he explodes such remarks, especially in public, e has. I don't blame The Bee for publis! impartiality and thaf ealing to the reader. politics, I think he is very ungrateful in at- | |j tacking our president in this manner. Mr. Wilson has done all .a human could do in this poor few years when almost the whole world is u pin arms. ‘Tis true he has made a few blunders, but he has stood firm on his convictions, We are not infalliable, like some claim to be, but are open to mistakes at any time. Now I will say, to conclude this letter, that I will cast my vote for Charles E. Hughes this fall if my life is spared until that time. We have noted the class of postmasters our democrat senators have || placed in the offies, and also noted some of those nafarious b ertain bunch of sen- ators are fostel n -the capital. You'll note they are all democrats, too. President Wilson has displayed great intelligence in handling the war game as he had done, but I am very much of the belief Mr. Wilson will loose his title which he has jeopardized, not over the way he has managed the war situation, but by being lead around and al- most ordered what course to pursue in most all departments under his jurisdiction by a band of greedy politicians who owe a greater allegiance to a foreign power than they owe to our beloved Stars and Stripes. Let us all keep out of war, and our country, too, if possible, but if it is neces- tary that we must intercede to establis a good government and public schools to edu- cate those people, like we did in Cuba, we are the people who can do it.

Washington Post: However, the law against issuing counterfeit money is enough to bar former Mexican presidents from this country. o ‘Washington Post: Tt is understood that the movement to send African missionaries over to convert Europe is about to be aban- doned on the ground that the age of mir- acles is past. Boston Transcript: Far-seeing patriots who have been preaching preparedness for the past two years are showing consider- able self-restraint nowadays in refraining from joining the I-told-you-so chorus. Indianapolis News: Good old Dr. Page, of the Boston health school, says that it is all bunk about germs making kissing dan- gerous. This may be rassuring to the faint hearts, but the kind that win fair ladies never seemed to care much about the theory anyhow. New York World: Sixteen carloads of am- muntition consigned to the port of New York for shipment to the allies ve been re- quisitioned by United Sta y officers and rerouted to the arsenal at San Antonio, Tex. The preparedness of the munitions factories, stimulated by the war in Europe, will come in handy for Uncle Sam. Baltimore American: General Obregon says it there is war, he will place all bad Mexicans in the vanguard to bear the brunt of the fighting. In this clever way, he will get service and also riddance of an undesir- able element. But from the American point of view, the bad Mexicans in themselves will constitute a considerable force. New York World: A man of letters whose, name was little known, but whose work for many years many thou in the death of George W. Olney, editor of the World Almanac since 1870. He was 81 years old and was in harness to the last. He was a war correspondent for Richmond and Charleston papers during the civil war, and later wrote dramatic criticisms for the New York Herald and editorials for the New York World. He was also engaged for some years in insurance journalism. SIGNPOSTS OF PROGRESS. Last year the United States exported 2,158,000 bushels of malt.
