Senator Cummins, answering Senator Hard- wick’s argument as to the unconstitutionality of the pending child labor bill, because it invades the sovereign power of the states, pointed‘out that the realm of congress daily is being invaded by the executive, who is personally directing legis- lative acts, a direct violation of the constitution. While the senator from Towa was on the floor, the president was calling into his office house conferees on the naval bill, and giving them in- structions, with the result that a few moments later it was announced that the bill will be re- ported today, carrying the president’s program. The inability of the democrats to plan for the good of the country, or to carry out plans when laid before them, is emphasized by this episode. Pledged to provide for the defense of the country, congress would have left the country defenseless if left to its own methods of doing business. Never has the country witnessed such an exhibi- tion of interference by the executive with the functions of the. legislative branch of the govern- ment. A congress whose majority has been with- out leadership, driven to definite action only by party expediency, can not escape the reckoning the people will surely exact. Price of the Loaf of Bread. THe master bakers of the country have about determined that the 5-cent loaf of bread is to go to the discard, and that hereafter the unit will be the 10-cent loaf. It remains to be seen to what extent the public will agree with them. It may be the cost of baking 500 double-sized loaves is less than that of baking 1,000 of the smaller, but that is the baker's problem. Nor is it so great as will be his task of convincing the public that the larger loaf is the one to be bought. Tradition has fixed the price of bread at 5 cents, in this country at least, and it is hard to change a stand- ard so established. The smaller loaf iz more con- venient for the small family, as it is consumed sooner, and fresh bread is sought by most people. This is the chief reason for the small loaf. On the baker's side, the increasing cost of material has been met by the diminishing size of the loaf. Efforts to fix a standard of weight have failed, and perhaps justly, because the baker is entitled to his reasonable profit, and he can only secure it by having a sliding scale of price or weight in order to meet the fluctuations in cost of materials used. It will be interesting to note the progress of the proposal to double the standard of price for bread, not because of the question of justice involved, but for the reason that it is expected to overturn a well rooted custom, . “Desetving Democrats” and the Law. ‘When Mr. Hughes, in his speech of acceptance, accused the administration of many shortcomings and transgressions, the chorus of Wilson defend- ers sent up a mighty shout for a bill of particu- lars. This is now being furnished. At Detroit Mr. Hughes went a little into detail as to the na- ture of the charges made against the present ad- ministration, One of these has to do with the violation of the spirit as well as the letter of the civil service law. In connection with the geodetic survey, a most important branch_of government service, it was cited that 104 places had been made vacant by removal of incumbents, and sixty-two of these jobs were handed to “deserving demo- crats” without any reference to the classified list, and in violation of law. More than 30,000 new places, created by the democratic congress, were filled by presidential appointment and no atten- tion paid to the civil service law. This raid on the public treasury in interest of partisans is not the greatest of the offenses of the administration in exercise of its appointing power. M"mwlln goes on, the demand of the emockats for particulars will be well met, and e people will get a good look at some of the things that have gone on at home while the presi- dent was “keeping us out of war.” ¥ { — Perpetrating an Injustice. A case in connection with the Chicago post- office administration brings to light a practice of the Poitoffice department that is, to say the least, peculiar, An employe was charged with an of- ‘fense that would have secured his dismissal, had he been found guilty. Full inquiry showed him to be innocent of the charge. Howéver, ht will not be reinstated in his position, because of a re- cent rule that no empfoye of the Postoffice depart- ment who is accused of a crime, even if proven in- nocent, shall be reinstated. The injustice of this scarcely calls for argument. In this instance the charge was brought by a postoffice inspector, who failed to substantiate his allegation, but the man loses his place as foreman in his division just the “same, If the rule stands, it will be easy at any time to secure readjustment of force by the simple expedient of bringing a trumped-up charge, de- grade the man and set the favored one over him, Postoffice employes have enough to contend with under ordinary circumstances, and should not be made subject to this remarkable device for se- curing places Lfor “deserving democrats,” Butchers and the Beef Supply. Perhaps The Bee ought to explain to the . butchers than in its figurative proffer of the fatted calf in recognition of their presence tHere ex. isted no intention to run counter to their sugges- tion that veal be eschewed. It was merely a co- incidence, the cartoonist having in mind to picto- rially express the acme of welcome, and to offer what is still esteemed the choicest of morsels for the delectation of our visitors. With their argu- ment that the calf should be given an opportunity to grow up, The Bee is in perfect accord. Slaugh- ter of thé young of the food animals is an ex- travagance the peopl® of the United States can not afford lo'loner indulge in, unless they wish to come to the time when meat will be out of reach of ofdinary mortals. We are a race of meat eaters, but we have developed habits that are ruin- ous to the _source of supply on which we must depend. . ‘Experience has driven the butcher to the conclusion that the situation is hopeless, but it may he the great American public will learn in time that when eating veal, lamb.or young pig, the future is not only being mortgaged, but ac- tuafly destroyed. Diminishing herds can not be restored if the young animals are eaten. Missouri's primary vote shows large republican gains, This is not surprising because Missouri is progressing and determined to line up with the live ones. But the most significant stcaw in the po- litical current is the annousncement that 550 demo- crats, the entire voting population of Zapata coun- -ty, Texas, will support the republican presidential gtleet. Zapata democrats are close enough to the border correctly to weigh Mexican blundering and foreshadow national condemnation for tha less_policy. Thought Nugget for the Day.

Omahas, Aug. 7.—To the Editor of The Bee: We clerks and employes of the four big dry goods stores of Greater Omaha, who are closing Saturdays at 6 p. m, during Au- gust, do truly appreciate these extra hours off. We are so thankful that these four pro- gressive business houses did not wait for the other store to come into line. In every large city a few of the better stores have to make the start, and we are proud of our “Big Four" stores, who are so thoughtful of the many clerks and employes; and now, if the people of Greater Omaha will just do their shopping early, especially on Saturdays, when & complete force of clerks and em- ployes will be on hand to serve you from 8:30 . m. to 6 p. m., prehaps these same stores will make this permanent, and thus put our great city on a level with Denver, Kansas City, Chicago and all other large cities who are enjoying these shorter hours. Give the “Big Four" merchants a boost. JOHN H. GILLESPIE. Three Sides to Prohibition. Omahs, August 7.—To the Editor of The Bee: During the last few months we have read articles in ouy daily papers discussing the pros and cons of prohibition, and I guess it is clear now. that prohibition is & three< cornered fight, 2 to 1, it were, between different business interests. One class of business men want prohibition because they have the substitute and these men know they will eatch many nickels and dolla: long as it lasts, that now go by w liquor. One of our prominent labor leaders says people employed in this substitute ) of work need organization, for as a whole their working conditions are deplorable. The labor organizers are finding these business men hard nuts to crack. These fellows take advantage of the large number of men thrown out of employment by prohibition and generally get their help cheaper than ever before. The other set of business men furthering it are in it chiefly for this last named reason. They are among the richest of financiers in the land. They own big industrial establish- ments and also the saloons laying nearby. A portion of their workers’' pay always re- turns through their own' saloon. The ery. of these fellows is, “Drink impairf the eficiency of labor.” They didn't know about this a few years ago, when the breweries were pay- ing a miserable wage, as they still are doing today. Everything was all right, but when the labor organization unionized the brewing industry, practically a 100 per cent, and made them pay $20 to $22 per week, eight hours and six days for work, some of it no more skillful than that of a washwoman; then something had to be done., or else they would soon have to pay a living wage to their employes. When a few years ago the brewery em- ployes in Los Angeles went out on strike de- manding an increase in pay, the brewery owners were forbidden by the business men’s organization to grant the wage increase. Out- side beer shipped into town soon ended the strike in favor of the brewery workers. Well, the brewery bosses got in bad with some of their rich friends and organized labor found out why the big corporations want prohi- bition, That it cheapens labor no one can deny now any more. Here we estimate that about 10,000 to 12,000 men of some sixty different vocations will be out of employment. In Colorado the estimated number doubled it- self. When it went prohibition many em- ployers began to complain of dull business and laid off men, and those working eight hours were put back to twelve hours, and the committee visiting the governor sought work for 40,000 men instead of 20,000, Won't it work similar in Nebraska. WILLIAM WRAGE. Democratic Inconsistencles. Holdrege, Neb., A —To the Editor of The Bee: Four ye: the battle-cry of the democrats was the high cost of living with the high prices given as proof and the tariff as the cause. Then they took a turn at the wheel and prices began to fall and the boast was just as in the nineties: “See what we did.” But in seventeen months from the time they got hold of the keys grain and live stock took such a slump on the market that factories closed, imports were on the increase with exports on the decrease, the trade bal- ances going against us from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 a month, expenses of government running away beyond its income with that old time sign board with the regular blowed- in-the-bottle trade mark of democracy de- fieit over our strong box. Then came their chance of escape. War began in Europe so they put on a stamp tax and called it a war tax when they had already added several taxes to the list. Therefore prices boost, but if it was spoken of they war caused it. On July 2 of this year, 1916, the World- Herald in proving (?) the democr: sure cause of this prosperity cite of hogs on June 30 of this year $9.57 per hundred pounds and compares that with the price of same day 1911 (or five years previous) when the price was $6.30 just when they began their howl of the crimes of high tariff, cause of high prices and high living. Now he is taking the credit for this 50 per cent raise as due to his party’s man- agement of government affairs and uses it as proof of the honor due them. We wish that editor would tell us which time he was sincere in his statements. The other Omaha Wilson champion in an editorial in its lighthouse column of just the other day on the wool prices (the sheep puzzle he called it) shows the price of wool has increased since they put it on the free list and how the imports had increased at the same time in spite of the wail of the high tarift crowd. Now will he go back four years and bring up some of his editorials in which he proved the high prices of wool, of 14 cents to 16 cents, was due to the high tariff and now boast of the present price of 28.7 cents (in spite of ivs being on the free list, it is higher than for years). If things are lower under a high tariff, as these wise ones prove (?) why not have the high tarift and get the expenses of running the govern- ment in that way instead of three or four direct taxes, for according to their own statements, and even boasts, we would not fill it that way. Again, we have another rank piece of demo and (anti everything bunch) that is their united attack on Mr. Hughes on his “Rule of Reason.” Well, we ought to expect them to be opposed to all reason as some of the editorials I have referred to will prove. Add the Commoner and see what the “three of a kind" had to say about that four years ago. F. POPE. One Side of Parochial Quarrel. Omaha, Aug. 7.—To the Editor of The Bee: On July 27 I arrived in Omaha and was requested by the members of the Roumanian church, located at Twenty-ninth and T streets, to take charge of th have in my possession the nece: and documents, from the highest authority of the church in Roumania, entitling me to take such a position and ufficiate as pastor of this church. On August 6 one Ilie Pop came here from St. Paul, Minn., and began circulating the report that he would make me leave the city. Without authority from the members of the society, except four or five whom he seemed to have gotten with him, on Sunday he forced his way into the church and proceeded to denounce me before the few people who were in the chureh, and made statements derogatory to my character which were entirly untrue. He stated that I had no authority to act as pastor of the church and many other things which were without foundation in faet. On Monday I filed complaint against him in court, but he evidently heard of the charges and left the city. I am therefore writing this to give my side of the story, inasmuch as I did not have the opportunity to meet him in court to compel him to prove his charges. This same party, for reasons which 1 do not know, has ustempted to inter- fere with my work in other cities. I am will- ing to medt him at any time on the charges which he makes. I have the documents to fully prove my standing and right to act as pastor of any ehureh of this denomination. REV. GERASIM L. HAGIN. EDITORIAL SNAPSHOTS.
