A report comes from Washington that an || order has been issued to recruit the National Guard to its war strength. This means for Ne- braska, for example, that more than double the number of young men already sent will be called to the Mexican border, if the state supplies its full quota. General Leonard Wood, reporting to the War department on the mobilization in his division, the Eastern, says that less than 50 per cent of the war strength of the Guard has joined the colors, only 41,000 out of a possible 90,000 having been mustered. This is not a fair test of the willingness of the young men to serve in de- fense of the country, but may be taken as a meas- ure of reluctance to enlist to do patrol duty along the Mexican border. What is back of this movement to assemble a large army along the Rio Grande? President Wil- son emphatically says we are not going to war with Mexico. General Pershing reports that a much better feeling exists among the Mexicans in his neighborhood, and all outward indications are that the worst of that trouble is over, Is an- other conflict in sight, or l' the movement in the interest of preparedness, and to give the young men training in the life and work of a soldier? If the latter, the object could be accomplished as effectively and at much less cost if carried on closer to home. Recruiting for the Guard under the conditions is not going to be easy. Our boys are willing to fight, but are loath to spend the summer drilling in the south. And the people would like to know what is going on. r—— X A Needed Reform-Push It Along. The Bee rejoices to see the Lineoln Journal coming out strong for a reform measure which we proposed in the last legislature as a part of our short ballot program. What we asked the lawmakers to do was to provide for the sub- division of counties with more than one repre- sentative in the legislature and for their election hereafter, one to a district. This would give each state semator or representative a definite consti- tuency and further would reduce the choice of each voter to one member of the senate and one member of the house, respectively. The Journal appears to have been brought around by the un- oscapable logic of the present system, which JDunches the nominations and altogether deprives the rufal areas of any place on the ticket, and makes geographic distribution of candidates abso- lutly impossible. After describing Lancaster county difficulties, says that paper now: It is only necessary, to avoid this trouble, to have the legislatdre provide for the sub-district- ing of legislative districts having more than one member. This would divide Lancaster county into six districts for the election of its uota of representatives, Iving each sixth of the county a free hand in the choice of a mem- ber. In addition to securing the desired candi- dates, this plan would shorten the ballot and ease the voter's task, Each voter would then have to inform himself as to only one candidate r the legislature, whereas he has now to deal with six. The change would be an especial boon to Douglas county, where the list of legis- lative candidates is impossibly long, and would, no doubt, result in a vast improvement in the legislative timber sent up from that county. T‘Is is an easy and beneficial beginning for the short ballot. Had the Journal and others interested in legis. lative reform lent their support when the measure was pending last year, we believe it might have been enacted, for it was sidetracked on the flimsy excuse that the plan conflicted with that part of the constitution providing that the legislature shall make the apportionment at its first regular session after each census enumeration, “but at no other time,” as if a reapportionment were being proposed instead of merely a change in the meth- od of election, leaving the apportionment pre- cisely the same. We hope to see the pext legis- lature take up this part of the short ballot pro- gram and put it thrbugh and we welcome the/ assistance of The Journal to that end. SE—— Texas and Its Rangers. A Texan, jeMous of his state's reputation, takes too seriously a bit of editorial pleasantry. In spite of its inexplicable adherence to the Yal- lacies of the democratic platform, no matter by whom written, Texas commands a high regard in the sancttm of The Bee. When we think of T we think of Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett, of “Big Foot" Wallace and “Pandy” Ellis, of Sam Houston, and a host of others whose names are shining lights in American history. We, as well as any “longhorn,” remember the Alamo, and San Jacinto, and rejoice with all good Texans in their proud possessions. And the Texas Ranger is recognized hereabouts as & proud bird, worthy of his herltage and willing to make good on any of the traditions of the Lone Star states Next to being & Nebraskan, 'which is about the best thing that can happen to mortal man, the privi- lege of being a Texan should be most highly cherished. The only real regret we have is that Kansas and Oklahoma interpose between us and the gigantic commonwealth with whom we would be on terms of closer intimacy and a more neigh- borly footing. This we have tried to make plain to all the world by sending a colony of good citi- zens to Texas, where they thrive and give a flavor to the life that is certain to come to petfection with the proper blend of Nebraska and Texas, the greatest and the largest of all the sisterhood of states. —— Cleaning Up on the Careless. Acting Police Judge Kubat is doing a good work, segonding the motion of The Bee that something be done to induce the careless autoist to show some respect for the traffic rules and for the rights of the simple folks who still have to walk. Omaha's traffic rules ate very reasonable, and eight out of ten automobile drivers find com- pliance is easy. It is the other two who make the trouble. They either do not think or do not care, and the result is a disarrangement of street traffic that is dangerous. The activity of the po- lice in bringing these offénders to'account is ef- fort well applied. The moderate fines imposed by the police judge are simply as reminders to first offenders that they are not observing the law nor fulfilling their obligations as citizens. So far the fesson has been salufary, for none have appeared in the column & second time, and the work is worthy, for it is making the streets safer by day and by night. ——— Stronger evidence should be produc¢ed before crediting the complaint to the State Railway com- mission of poor penmanship and ill-manners of station agents. The icharge may stick, but, even 80, allowance must be made for temperature and temper on both sides. In some quarters the old notion that the station agents own the road and the shippers run it, otill prevails, and time is re« quired to plow it under. THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1916.

Brewster, Neb., July 13.—To the Editer of The Bee: 1 have been drawing a pension for many years, but the e ed (notice that exhibit of pension certific will no longer be required) is the most open and flagrant bid for the votes of pensioners I have ever noticed. Note how very desirous the ad- ministration is that the pehsioners should be pleased! The secretary of the interior seems to love the pensioners all over. His tardy affection ill comports with the record of the democratie party, as such. And Grover Cleveland was more h than Wilson, He suspended thousands of us, but had to re. instate about 909 'l overy thousand he sus- pended. This extfemely cheap bid for the old soldier vote has not even the merit of the good of the public serviee. It was right and proper that the pensioner should exhibit his certificate. No pensioner who was a good citizen could complain at the regulation. And no bank officer ought to have felt fa- tigued at the requirement of looking at the fumbers on the certificate and the check to verify them. EDMUND THICKSTUN, Pensioner 106,850, Question of Direct Primaries. Lincoln, July 13.—To the Editor of The Bee: “The Direct Primary in Nebraska," a pamphiet issued by the legislative refer- enee buresu in 1014 is in partioular demand ot this time owing to the recent agitation over the question of primaries. The pamphlet referred to will be sent by the tive reference bureau, Lincoln, free to anyone interested enough to equest for the same. A, E. SHELDON, Director Legislative Reference Buresu. Wants Prohibition Party-ites to Get Busy. Bradshaw, Neb,, July 13.—~To the Editor of The Bee: The national convention and “get-together” conference of the prohibi. tionists will be held at St. Paul, Minn., July 18-21. The national committee has been actively pushing the matter of attendanee, and the state committee ns well. Owing to the faet that the state of Nebraska has & dry campaign on for this fall and that the prohibition party in the state decided to put up no atate ticket, but put all its energles into the campaign through the dry federation, the matter of conventions may be lost sight of by the party prohibitionists. We have nominated an electoral ticket, thus keeping the party organization in toueh with the national, and the regular state con- vention will be held aceording to law, on Tuesday, July 25, 1916. The call is for 4 2 o'clock p. m., at the Lindell hotel in Lin- eoln, on the above date. Each county is en- titled to one or more delegates, and the pro- hibitioniste are asked to get together on Satutday, July 15, and nominate the requisite number. These sounty meetings should be held in the county seats. The conventions will have the usual business of the party to attend to, but it will be utilized to create a8 mueh enthusiasm within the ranks, as may be possible, for the dry campalgn. The state committee has followed (nstrue. tions given last fall by the prohibitionists and made no effort to raise funds for its party work, has placed no nominees on the state ticket, other than those of presidential electors and delegates to the national conm- vention. It has turned over its funds to the drp federation for use in the campaign, and n every way possible has aided the workers thereof. It Is proposed to keep up the party organization, for 80 ne can fore oast the future and we must ba prepared for any eventualities, A really dry Nebraska is not to be secured by simply winning the election for the smendment in November. The personal equation of the men to be chosen to enact laws to enforce the eonstitution is & very vital one, and the work of seeing that the right kind of laws are made and the right kind of men chosen to enforse them, is as much the business of the prohibition party as such, as that of any party. For this purpose the committee is laboring to keep the party in the state intact while it ia equally busy in aiding the campaign for the amendment. On this aceount it is essentially Becéssary that s big, rousing state eonven- tion be held at Lincoln as above announced. It is just as important that a good dele- gation go from Nebraska to 8t. Paul to the national oconvention, beginning the 18th. We can have cur own special ear if as many as sixteen should go. All who will g0 will be provided with seats in the ¢on- vention, but enly tventy-ol;. iul be entitled [ to vote, 3 'URRIE, Ohairman State Committes. NEBRASKA EDITORS. Henry L.
