While no battle can be won before it is fought, the significance of the convention just held by Nebraska republicans and the platform they have promulgated lies in the spirit of confident deter- mination for a united and aggressive campaign for party success in November. History cannot be unmade, but the disposition to forget past dis- sensions and look only forward has brushed aside all petty differences as to details for rallying the forces in a solid column behind the national stand- ard bearers and in support of the principles and policies enunciated by the national party. Let it be known that Nebraska republicans are thoroughly in accord with the idea of nationalism. They are in step with the march of progress by which effective federal regulation must supersede state regulation of railroads, as against the demo- cratic states’ rights policy of divided and multi- plied and therefore weak regulation, and so will be the voters of Nebraska when the issue is fully explained and understood.

J final voyage at 93, Back nmer he passed o the bridge L util him on shore When a thousand men, from all parts of the state, travel distances up to 300 miles to attend a political conclave without any special business to perform, except as a ratification meeting, it is proof positive of party alertness and vitality. This is much more true when the party happens to be out of power in both state and nation with no ‘“pie counter” brigade responding merely to pro- tect their meal tickets. In Nebraska, then, it ap- plies far more to the republicans than to the democrats. True, over-confidence sometimes threatens disaster as much as does hopeless discouragement, but with the favoring conditions, this state ought to be put back in the republican column by a decisive majority next November and contribute eight Hughes and Fairbanks votes in the electoral college to help redeem the national government from democratic incompetence. That is the mes- sage of the convention and the inspiration of the platform. — - “Hide and Seek” in the War Game. English and French warships, standing off and on, just outside the three-mile limit at the en- trance to Chesapeake shay, are the “outs” in a pretty game of hide and seek. Captain Koenig and his Deutschland are the “ins,” and the cap- tain seems to thoroughly understand the rules of the game. It is on the odd chance of landing a shot and sinking his ship the cruisers wait, and he ‘shows little disposition to disappoint them in their waiting. When he gets good and ready, he will drop down the Patapsco and the game will be. on in good earnest. All the chances are in favor of the Deutschland, and it will be marvellous if one of the waiting war dogs gets a glimpse of the submersible, let alone a chance to fire at it. While all this is going on, the people of the United States, regardless of bias, are waiting the out- come, admiring the” sportsmanship of Captain Koenig, and hoping he'll reach the deep water in safety. B Relying on Their Record, Only the fondest of infatuation could have ac- tuated the democrats in prefacing the platform adopted at Hastings by a challenge that the rec- ord of the party be inspected. In the same breath support is asked for a candidate for president who s running for re-election in direct violation of a pledge made for him by his party at Baltimore +four years ago, and which-he then accepted. \ Nor is the one-term plank of that platform the only one that has been ruthlessly set aside, al- though the claquers of the party now urge that every promise is “written in the book of deeds,” whatever that is. As to the prosperity of the country, think what was the condition two years ago, just before the European war broke out, and by its shipping embargo saved our country from’ the folly of the Underwood bill. As to Mexico, the president has cerainly handled affairs down there with “delicacy.” He has kept us out of wa, although he has twice sent an armed force into that “friendly” country; but he has an army of 150,000 men on the border now, more than ever assembled by the United States in time of peace. He has “protected” American citizens along the border, as is attested by Columbus, Glen Springs and other places. He has “compelled respect for American citizenship,” as will be found by look- ing up the list of Americans who died in Mexico, victims of bandits; whose property was destroyed, and whose women underwent unspeakable out- rage. Other features of the Hastings platform will be considered in due time, but the challenge to scan the record of the party nationally de- serves immediate attention. Good Roads and the Federal Treasury. Announcement by the Department of Agri- Julmre of the apportionment of the first year's $5,000,000 of the $75,000,000 set aside for good roads does not mean that splendid highways are to spring up as magic where the feet of Uncle Sam tguch. It does mean that the general gov- ernment is going to share to some degree in the expense of building good roads, The states will have to share equally out of their own pockets in tNe cost of construction and accept the re- sponsibility for maintenance. This provision is something of a menace to permanency, for it leaves:the roads very much as they are now, un- | der local influences that have not so far been able to produce or maintain efficient highways. The general plan of the highway act is attractive, but it is deficient in that it does not contemplate an oversight that would effectively secute the up- keep of highways once constructed. If some such arrangement is not made the money ex- pended by the federal government will serve no better purpose than that expended by the state, which usually wasted, Nebraska's quota of the present appropria- tion is just over 2 per cent. At this ratio the state may draw $1,500,000 of the total sum set aside. At the limit of expense set by the depart- ment, not to exceed $10,000 a mile, with the state’s contribution, it will mean 300 miles of main line highway to be constructed within five years. Not an especially extensive campaign, | byt & stimulus to action, and a certain incentive to keeping up the work. Candidates for office will enhance personal safety by heeding the lesson of the Wild West accident. When an experienced horseman proved unequal to the task of riding two horses, the politician who undertakes the job chl_lltnz‘u‘ the political coroner. Specific complaints = regarding conditions among the soldiers now assembled on the border are not met by General Bliss’ general commenda- tion of what he found. Some lively scandal is certain to be developed as a result of the unpre- pared mobilization. . THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1916. ODAY Thought Nugget for the Day.

Omaha, July 26.—To the Editor of The Bee: Printer's ink has been used freely these days for the best interests of the work of the Nebraska Humane society, Per- mit me to express my thanks for every word. No longer is Omaha a rural village nor a frontier town. It only follows that with the growth of a city all things must grow. “Grow with growing Omaha” is a slogan which well befits our city of the middle west. Omaha is not only growing in one way, but in many, and justly is every self-re- specting citizen proud. When a pen is lifted to bring to the attention of Omaha people the fact that a step backward, rather than forward, is being taken by the recent visit of a Wild West show—only good can come of it. Miss Jessie Millard can surely only have the gratitude of the self-respecting public when she asks that there never be a repeti- tion of such another Wild West show in Omaha. Miss Millard does not speak of the show and brutalities from hearsay—she had the “pri of seeing a performance in Cheyenne, and doubtless is well aware of the facts. Through the untiring efforts of Miss rd, Mrs. J. De Forest Richards and Mrs. George Prins, the Ne- braska Humane society has officlally thanked them for a sum amounting to many hundred dollars, which they have personally solicited from the business men of Omaha. It is easy to understand now why a statement from Miss Millard as to the brutality of such a show and its moral effect upon our city. The Humane society is for the pur- pose of prohibiting e treatment to help- less children and animal There are bigger things in the mind of & ecommunity than a passed amusement of a day. Citizens can only be grateful for a warning word which can make a future big- ger and better for its being said. As to the facts regarding the work of some of the members of the Humane society and their efforts to stop the cruelty in the recent show in Omaha: Legal advice was obtained from an attorney who is not & member of the Humane society nor a city official, by a woman member of the society. His advice was to the effect that little aid could be given animals in such cases, owing to the inadequate laws of the state. He suggested the society taking action to better the laws governing cruel treatment to animals in Ne- braska. Only Special Officer J. E. Wheeler, who is being paid $100 a month by private sub- seription, attended the Saturday afternoon performance. He has only the authority to bring such cases of cruelty to the attention of the executive of the society and the police. Promises had been given by the officers of the Nebraska Humane society to attend in person the first performance that the mem- bers might be well informed as to the man- ner of amusement. The Wild West show has come and gone. May the citizens of our city join with me in gratitude to the press and Miss Millard for calling the attention of the public to such cruelties, and a wish that amusements of a better type may in the future be given to Omaha. HOPE HANCHETT RUTLEDGE. Omaba Still on Morris Plan Map. New York, July 25.—To the Editor of The Bee: I find, in your issue of July 18, under the heading “Morris Plan Bank Will Not Enter the Omaha Field,” the statement that word has been received “from the pro- moters of the Morris plan banks in New York that they have decided not to enter the Omaha field.” In justice to the Industrial Finance cor- poration, which has organized all but the first fourteen of the fifty companies operat- ing the Morris plan in the United States, I trust that you will see your way to cone tradicting the above statement, which is calculated to mislead the many influential well-wishers of the Morris plan in your city. It is" fully intended to organize a Morris plan company in Omaha in the autumn, and we trust we shall continue to have the valued assistance of your paper in doing so. It may interest you to know that the com- panies now operating the above plan are lending at the rate of $1,000,000 a month to persons who otherwise would lack the eredit facilities that are within reach of their more fortunate fellow citizens.
