The fall of Gorizia, as the Italians call the Austrian city recently. captured, brings a series of confusing spells to war news readers. Some map makers spell it Goriz and Gortza, and dis- patches range from Goritzia, Gortsa to Gorizia. A suspension of the shooting in the city is needed to get the name on straight. | Notes From Many Lands I Hotel bars throughout Australia are now closed at 6 p. m.

While approving the general scope of the plan endorsed by congress for a construction pro- gram, it is neither captious nor partisan to point out that the belated activity along this line will cost the United States a considerable sum. In the first place, the naval program could not have been carried through without the active assist- ance and support of the republicans in congress. That this great program of construction is un- avoidable at this time is due to democratic op- position in the past. That party has been in control of the house for the last five years, and has in that time absolutely refused to make the appropriations needed for the cdhservative in- crease in the navy recommended. The presi- dent’s party is solely responsible for the decline of the navy from second to fourth place, and for the predicament that now is to be remedied by building ships with material at its highest cost. Plans are not yet complete, and the reports from Washington indicate that democratic re- luctance to do a thorough job is likely to leave much to be attended to in the future. The house resists appropriations for the improvements of navy yards, an imperative necessity. On the Pa- cific coast the United States has but one naval base that will accommodate a first-class battle- ship, and it is entered under the British guns at Euquimnult' On the Atlantic coast the situation is also very bad. Provision must be made for caring for the tremendous dreadnaughts, but the majority party in congress hesitates to set aside the money needed. The work is at last begun, though, and an efficient navy will in time be provided for, as the republican party is not likely to permit this es- sential of national defense to languish as did the democrats, — What the Free Milk and Ice Has Done. One baby has gained seven and one half pounds in weight in’ a month, and' has been changed from a puny, struggling mite with the chances of life against it, into a laughing, crow- ing, bubbling bit of happy humanity, whose gurgle delights its parents, and whose smile rewards the nurse, all because free ice and milk was made available. How many times this can be dupli- cated in Omaha doesn’t especially matter, but it is reported from the nurses who are looking after the administration of the fund that many babies ‘are now thriving whose eyes might have closed on this world during the hot days just passed had it not been for this source of succor. The Bee is taking to itself no undue credit for this; it is merely passing along to the good women and men and the little folks, too, who have given to the ice and milk fund, the confirmation of their wishes, They have done good, and happiness has been established where sorrow would have fallen if they had not intervened. “Even a cup of water to a little child” has been many times multiplied here, Investigating Food Prices. All the way across the continent investiga- tions into food prices are either demanded or un- der way. The feverish activity of the United States Trade commission and other agencies might deceive someone who did not know a cam- paign is approaching, and that the party in power had suddenly recalled a pledge it made four years ago and has neglected ever since. But the price of bread and meat, and milk and eggs, and all other foods is being or to be investigated, while all sorts of combinations and associations in re- straint of trade are accused of nefariously operat- ing against the consumer. £ Spasmodic attempts at regulation have never brought relief to the people who pay the price. Somewhere along the line the ends meet and form a circle. Prices for steel and coal and iron and wages and everything else went up, so why expect the price of food to stand still? It is un- fortunate, perhaps, but it is true, that all prices are interdependent, to such an extent that an increase in cost of one commodity is likely to be reflected in an increase in the cost of all. Combinations and corners undoubtedly affect prices by artificial values, and as they impose an unfair burden on the buyer they should be prevented; just how has not appeared, save through the dangerous expedient of government intervention—danger- ous, because its end is not to be foreseen. As to the value of investigations, residents of Omaha can easily recall what followed here after the. thorough inquiries made by le[ill‘ive com- mittees three years ago. For the benefit of those who were not residents then, The Bee will restate the result of the reports and recommenda- tions: Nothing. —_— The Good Roads Situation. The decision of the district court, adverse to the validity of the county road bonds voted upon last spring, admonishes all interested in improve- ment of the roads in and out of Omaha to take an inventory of the situation and get together upon the best plan of procedure. The road bonds that were submitted, received a majority of the votes recorded on the proposi- tion, but are adjudged to have fallen short of the requisite majority of the votes cast at the elec- tion and, while there is possible room for dispute on this point sufficient to go up to the court of last resort, there is a serious question whether it is worth while to perfect the appeal or whether the object cannot be more quickly accomplished in some other way. Another road bond proposition could readily be submitted at the fall election, though not with- out the same risk of carrying by a majority short of a majority of the total vote, Then, too, we are sure to have enabling road improvement legis- lation from the coming legislature, since all the political parties are committed to it and if state or federal aid is to'be extended, there is no reason why we in Douglas county should not have a share for our roads. Otherwise we would be helping, with our taxes, to foot the bills for road building elsewhere without any returns of our own. There are so many angles to the subject it behooves the different organizations pushing for good roads to get busy in time and concentrate their efforts dlong one and the same line. Admiration for the British parliamentary insti- tutions, while not openly expressed, undoubtedly grips the soul of the American congress. Imagine with what keen joy the latter would welcome the British plan of extending the life of parliament and escaping the worry and expense of an elec- tion, ettt s - e [ODAY Thought Nugget for the Day. __ __ _ A wide-spreading, hopeful disposition is your only true umbrella in this vale of tears.—Thomas Bailey Aldrich.

Deception Practiced on Laborers. - in, Ia., Aug. 16.—To the Editor of The Bg::"sl‘hz existing conditions in the Oelwein railroad shops are mot quite as represented by the employment agencies in Omaha. There was twenty-five of us in all, paid our $1 for a long Sunday night ride to Oelwein. When we arrived here there was a great demand for our labor, but instead of getting from 31 to 41 cents per hour, we were ssigned to our different departments on & wage scale rangh g from 17% cents to 21 cents per hour on eight and nine-nour shifts, with a privilege of putting in overtime and Sun- dnys. It appears to me that such shipping would be stopped, as I believe Ol.lllhl has plenty of work for all its men instead of shipping them to this community to work on starvation wages. So, men, take heed e. S homTW() OF THE CHUMPS. P. 8.—As long as there isn't no railroad strike and the side door Pullman runs, we will soon be back. and Tariff a Solution for Economic Disasters. San Francisco, Aug. 14.—To the Editor of The Bee: In the competitive arens we find by investigation that the cost of production always governs the cost of living, and to compete with & nation or an individual who has a cheaper method of production than his competitor, the result is the competitor must come to the level of the cheaper producer, or retire from competition, or per se through legislation force his competitor by tariff or otherwise from his, the first named, from ’s market. ils in this, the cheaper producer takes possession of the market, andas & se- quence destroys the worker of the power not only*to produce, but the power to purchase, for if, one cannot produce he cannot pur- chase. Result: Factories close; workmen idle, fi- nancial distress, and the first and last analy- sis s demonstrated, general panic and up- heaval. Let us see in a terse manner what the principle of tariff for protection against tar- iff for revenue (be it high or low) signifies to the natfon, workingman as well as manu- facturer: * Suppose it costs to produce abroad owing to the difference in the cost of living: Democratic Theory— To produce & given quantity. Tariff for revenue, not more t Making ocst to consumer. . Republican Theory— To produce a given quantity... Tariff for protection, not less than Making cost to consumer........ Thus we see that basing the figures as we do on the principle that the cost of pro- duction ‘at home being $2 for & given quan- tity, quality and all things being equal, un- der the theory of “revenue,” the producer abroad has the advantage on the market of 1 cent, whilst on the other hand the con- sumer animated by profit unwittingly de- stroys his own purchasing power by destroy- ing his home market. Whilst the difference is but 2 cents be- tween & high tariff for revenue iff for protection, yet the result i if there were no tariff at all (or that the theory of free trade were in forte). While we have used fictitious figures for the purpose of easy comprehension, we are certain facts will bear us out in saying that we have granted to our friends of opposite theory, the democratic majority, the advan- tage. During President Cleveland's second term of office (1892-1896) as at the present time, we had a democratic house and senate ma- Jority, and their ideas or theories of tariff were put into force. The results were the same. Wide distress, uncertainty, doubt and un- employment and as a sequence all manner of excuses. It was my province to protest at that time and again to protest, as I do at this time, against a theory of economics which if continued will cause greater misery than ever. Let us have a senate and house firmly rooted and grounded on protection for our people. When, after the campaign of 1896, the re- publican party again hecame the dominant party, it was impossible to find sufficient unemployed men to form a corporal's guard, and so it continued. The slogan of the party at that time was “the full dinner pail.” And though it was laughed to scorn by the so-called economists, who offered “free silver,” free trade and a great deal of “free advice,” yet the idle men melted away as the snow before the summer's sufl. And the great mass of unemployed ‘work- ers, and employed as well, and I am quite sure I am representing the former by com- mon consent, and many of the latter as well, doin me in insisting that we have a sane thedry of economics. Give to us the right to earn and we will soon be in a position to discuss any sort of theory advanced by our opponents. We are tired of the vagaries of hair- brained enthusiasts, be they “capitalists or cormorant,” and will soon take our places among the men who are worthy of respect. We want protection for American indus- tries and we purpose marching to the polls and no more “marching to Washington” and when we do settle down to our work of build- ing homes, educating our children and pro- claiming to the world the gospel of contin- uity of the republic against all comers. CHARLES T. KELLEY. Wilson's Usurpations Sufficient lssue. Silver Creek, Neb., Aug. 16.—To the Editor of The Bee: Your editorial, based on the attack of Senator Cummins on President Wilson for his interference in the matter of the child labor bill, was very much to the point and much to be commended. The whole country should ring with talk of that kind, and if Mr. Hughes in his campaign speeches would take up the matter of Wil- son’s encroachments on the powers and pre- ves of the legislative department of overnment, he would be rendering a service of prime importance to free govern- ment, not only in the United States, but throughout the world. By remson of long service at the bar and on the bench of the highest court in our land, no man is better qualified than he to expose the unconstitu- tional, traitorous work of President Wilson in his more than three years of ordering congress to do this, and to do that, and not to do the other thing; just as though the congress of the United States was but a mere instrument in the hands of the execu- tive; and, by reason of his eminent posi- tion as a candidate for the presidency, his words would everywhere command the most profound attention. As you know, I have been harping on this very thing of Wilson's lawlessness ever since he has been president, and more than once in the public prints I have declared that he | should be impeached. 1If the present con- | gress had had a tithe of the independent | spirit and true American manhood of the | congress of Andrew Johnson's time, he would long ago have been impeached and incontinently fired out of office. But I now find profound satisfaction in the conviction | that not long hence the American people | will fire him and, I trust, with such force that henceforth and forever no American president will ever again dare to raise a traitorous hand against the constitution of his eountry. i The apologists and defenders of President Wilson are fond of saying that Hughes has no issue. No is: Hughes . is lawyer and a jurist; he is able fully to preciate the sacredness and binding force of | on official oath, and if on the dth of next | March it should be his fortune to stand there | in the shadow of the dome of the capitol at ' Washington and take that oath to “pre- | serve, protect and defend” the constitution ' of the United States to the best of his abil- ity, the American people might feel per- fectly sure that he would do it. While I have noc doubt whateyer what | Hughes would do in the matter, I should like to hear him say what, undoubtedly, is 80 much a part of his being that he might consider it a thing always to be taken for granted, that if elected | president he would always keep strietly within constitutional cumstances attempt to arrogate to himself powers properly belonging to either of the other great departments of government. I would like to hear him say that as president he would be content tc execute the laws, and not demand the right to make them; I would like to hear him say that he would be quite content to be just plain president—a servant of the people, and that he would not under powers and prerogatives of an old Roman emperor. Hughes the republican—the democrat, ver- sus Wil the autocrat; that is the issue, and it is issue enough. CHARLES WOOSTER. GRINS AND GROANS. 'And where are you from?"
