Democrats feigning to be satisfied and pleased with the result of the Maine election remind us strikingly of the contrast pictures in the patent medicine ads labelled “Before taking” and “After taking,” only with the sequence reversed. The New York World, which is the most valiant of all the democratic newspaper champions of President Wil- son and his administration, on the day before the voting, blazoned on its front page as vouched for by most reliable and best known political corres- pondent, after a personal survey of the political battle field, this statement: The democats, supremely confident of lthe reselection of their governor, Senator Johnson, and two out of the four congressional candi- dates,have good reason to believe that Hughes has helped their side of the government. On the day after the voting, which showed that Maine had electéd a republican governor, two republican United States senators and four re- publican members of congress, the World un- burdened itself of this language: It was inevitable that Maine would go re- publican. What was in question was the size of the m-{&rity, and the republican majority is anything but decisive. To hearten the democrats the World would have its readers now believe that the loss of a governor, a United States senator anfl a congress- man, to say nothidg of an additional senator and congressman, whom they counted on winning, is not discouraging, but encouraging. When a democrat pretends to take comfort out of Maine, put it down that he is simply whistling to keep up his courage. ——— Upheaval in-“War Brides.” A general scramble to buy has sent prices of stocks in companies that have o do with the munitions trade shooting upward again, and thus is the way opened for some speculation as to what basis exists for this movement. It is cer- tain that the trade will not outlast the war; it is alost equally certain that a new and lower level of prices must be reached soon after the war. Indeed, wise investors are agreed that the first sign of approaching peace will be the signal for a break. If this is true, the present movement may be taken as supporting the belief that the war is not to end this year, and that the present traffic in munitions will continue for marly months to come, : The extent to which the tradé has risen is hardly understood, even by those who have { watched it closest. For the week ending Septem- ber 9, 1916, the exports from the port of New York were $66,379,382. Of this $14,490,573 went to France; $15916,497 went to Russia, while the United Kingdom ' took $19,030,737, and Italy’s share was $3,107,323, a total of nearly $53,000,000 to these four belligerents alone. Nearly seventeen million dollars of this amount waé represented by explosives; another million was for enpty shells, another for firearms, and another for picric acid, which is used in manufacturing high ex- plosives. For the single week from the port of New York almost twenty million dollars wotth . of material for use on the battle line, while other items of service to the armies will foot up quite as much more. ‘ “War brides” are earning their keep in Amer- ica just now, and form a magnificent basis for the " of which the atic president boast with such enthusiasm. K 1t All in the Family, Qt:' smocrats have spent over a billion i in the last fo ryfii‘m‘t’m the re- 'did in: the: preceding four years, they . ‘be given credit for doing their utmost to it all in the family. The tecord of the ad- inistration so far has not only been charac- an , and the creaiion of many thousands of new itions to_be illed by “deserving democrats,” t it is notorious for having placed on'the pay I more relatives of cabinet officers, congress- men and senators than ever before were so recorded, The Cleveland dictum, “A public office is a public trust," has been amended to read, “A public office is a family graft,” and the Jacksonian doctrine as to spoils has been enthusiastically ap- plied along this fine.,’ i * This practice persistently piysued by the con- spicuous higheér-ups has been carefully imitated all down the line, until the pay roll is filled with sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, even wives assisting their husbands in, taking out the cash. Some deserving democrats, perhaps, were taken care of, ‘but this must have been because not enough relatives to fill the places cquld be found. The situation must be inspiring to those faithful followers of the donkey, who actually believed they were voting for a better form of govern- ment, only on find they were merely providing means for gratifying an inordinate appetite for “pie” and “pork.” Nepotism was never so rampant as under the present democratic administration, whose per- formances contrast strangely with its protesta- tions of high purposes. epe—— . Reforms for County Fairs. A correspondent touches on an important point in suggesting that certain forms of amusement be banished' from county fairs. The day has long passed in America when rural patrons of the fairs are properly described as bucolic. Entertainment at these exhibitions is not designed to “amaze the gaping rustics ranged around.” Much progress has been made in the way of doing away with forms of afmusement that were offensive to good taste and good morals, but room for improvement exists. The purpose of a county fair in its first sense educational, and it should be made to con- form olosely to this ideal. Entertainment features provided should be of such a character as will harmonize with the general idea of improvement. Devices designed merely to lure stray nickels from idlers or the unwisely curious are unworthy of a place where the high achievements of modern agriculture are being shown for comparison. The county fair will not realize jts real service until its is established on a plane with the industry it chiefly reprgsents. dol in A few years ago, when the Bulgars were on their backs and Greeks, Serbs and Turks stripped them of the spoils of war, Roumania slipped over the line and squatted on a choice chunk of north- ern Bulgaria. The operation developed a cone tinuous sore spot, which lent peculiar zest to the recent victorious raid of the Bulgars into Roumanian territory. Reciprocity in land-grab- bing approaches a fine art abroad. eo— Of course, good democrats must chip in to help re-elect Wilson and the use of the money to finance the campaign to save the senator will give them no right to complnin." That's what that “tow-line” is for 0 'that not @ word.of it wa utter disregard of the civil service THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER, 15, Ay, e, 15 s TODAY] Yes, He Kept Us Out of War Address of Congressman Julius Cahs. / It has often been asserted that President Wil son has kept us out of war. I deny the assertion. We had war with Mexico for the second time in our history when we invaded its territory at Vera Cruz. We again had war with Mexico when we invaded its territory after the raid on Columbus, N.'M. One might just as well say that Belgium is not engaged in war. Its territory, too, was invaded. Unlike the Mexicans, the Belgians fought back. The Mexicans only made sporadic attempts to fight back. In these attempts they killed and” wounded American soldiers. If the Mexican people had been imbued with the spirit of the Belgians, we would not have escaped so easily. 1f anyone doubts that we made war on Mexico when our marines and sailors landed at Vera Cruz, ask the moghers and fathers of the boys in blue who were killed on the streets of that Mexican seaport whether they believe we were at war with Mexico. Ask the boys who were wognded on that occa sion and for many weeks suffered intense pain as they lay groaning upon their cots in impover- ished hospitals whether the president kept us out of war. Ask the wives and mothers and the sisters oi the Mexicans who were killed at Vera Cruz whether we were at war with Mexico. Ask the wife of brave Captain Boyd, who was killed at Carrizal, whether we were at war with Mexico. Ask the mother of brave Lieutenant Adair. who was also killed at Carrizal, whether we were at war with Mexico. s Ask the relatives of the United States soldiers who were tracheromlilllain at Carrizal whether we were at war with Mexico. Ask the relatives of the eighteen American civilians who were butchered at Santa Ysabel in Mexico whether we were at war with Mexico. Ask the mothers and the sisters of those who were slaughtered in the raid on Columbus, N. M., whether we were at war with Mexico. Ask the citizens of Brownsville, Red House Ferry and Progreso postoffice and Las Peladas whether, in the attacks of Carranzista adherents and the looting, burning and killing of the peace- ful inhabitants of those places, the president has kept us out of war. Ask the women and children who were threat- ened with death at Tampico by an infuriated Mexican mob whether the president has kept us out of war. Ask the thousands of American citizens who, were called upon to abandon their property in Mexico and to return forthwith to the United States whether the president has kept us out of wi ar, And, finally, ask the wives and the children, the dependent mothers and fathers and sisters of the 150,000 National Guardsmen who have been called from their usual peaceful avocations and who will be encamped on the Mexican border for the Lord knows how long whether the president has kept us out of war with Mexico. * In 1912 the democratic platform proclaimed this high-sounding doctrine: “The constitutional rights of American citi- zens should protect them on our borders, and io with them throughout the world, and every merican citizen residing or having property in any foreign country is ‘entitled to and must be en the full protection of' the United States government, both for himself and his property.” In the umpllgn of 1912 the president was very insistent in saying that— #The democratic platform means what it says. It is not molasses to catch flies.” Surely the way this plank has been executed | the present administration is proof positive W tended to be carried into effect, but that it was only “molasses to catch flies.” ! How the lives and property of American ¢iti- zens have been safeguarded on the border I will leave for Mr. Lansing, the ucrewX of state of this administration, to describe. After several years of “watchful waiting” the secretary of state sent a letter to the head of the de facto govern- ment in Mexico in which occurs this remarkable nguage: ‘The progress of the ‘revolution in Mexico: «Continuous bloodshed and disorders ‘have marked its progress. For three years the Mexi- can republic has been torn with civil strife; the lives of Americans and other aliens have been sacrificed; vast properties deyeloped by Ameri- can capital and enterprise have been destroyed or rendered nonproductive; bandits have been permitted to roam at will through the terri- tory contiguous to the United States and to seize, without punishment or without effective attempt at punishment, the property of Ameri- cans, while the lives of citizens of the Unijted: States. who ventured to remain in Mexican ter- ritory ‘or to return there to protect their in- terests have been taken, and in some cases bar- barously taken, and the murderers have neither been a%prehended nor brought to justice. It would be difficult to find in the annals of the history of Mexico conditions more deplorable than those which have existed there during these recent years of civil war. “It would be tedious to recount instance after instance, outrage after outrage, atrocity after atrocity, to illustrate the true naure and extent of the widespread conditions of lawless- ness and violence which have prevailed. During the last nine months in particular, the frontier of the United States along the lower Rio Grande has been thrown into a state of con- stant apprehension and turmoil because of fre- quent and sudden incursions into American territory and depredations and murders on’ American soil by Mexican bandits who have takep the lives and destroyed the property of American citizens, sometimes carrying Ameri- can citizens across the international boundary with the booty seized. American garrisons have been attacked at night, American soldiers killed and their equipment and horses stolen; Americe . ranches have been raided, property stolen and d strovid, and’ American trains wrecked and plundered. The attacks on Brownsville, Red House Ferry, Progreso. post- office and Las Peladas, all occuring during September last, are typical. In these attacks on American territory, Carranzista adherents, and even Carranzista soldiers took part in the looting, burning and killing. Not only were these murderg characterized by ruthless bru- tality, but uncivilized acts of mutilation were perpetrated. ' “Representations were made to General Car- ranza, and he was emphatically requested to stop these réprehensible acts in a section which he has long claimed to be under the complete domination of his authority, Notwithstanding these representations and the promise of Gen- eral Nafarrete to prevent attacks along the in- ternational boundary, in the following month of October a passenger train was wrecked by bandits and several persons killed seven miles north of Brownsville, and an attack was made upon United States troops at the same place several dave later Since these attacks leaders of the bandits well known both to Mexican civil and military auworiuies as well as to American officers have been enjolyinl with impunity the liberty of the towns of northern Mexico. go far has the indifference of-the de facto govern- ment to these atrocities gone that some. of these leaders have received not only the protec- tion of that government, but encouragement and aid as well. “Depredations upon American persons and r?rerty within Mexican jurisdiction have been pr still more numerous.” That is the indictment of the Wilson adminis- tration in Mexico by its own'secretary of state. ..And yet our democratic colleagues have tle effrontery ‘to tell the people bi the United States | that President Wilson has kept us out of war. 1916.

Thei say he's a fine speaker.” \ “®ut, for pity’s sake, Mike, if You do come with me, keep awake! You know you're always falling asleep during the sermons.” “I'll do my best, Jane." Next day, when Father' Burke be- gon to preach, Mike watched him for five minutes and then dropped off to sleep. When they were back home Jane gave Mike a tongue lashing. “Well, Jane,"” said Mike, in self-de- fense, “it's just this way. When I engi a new hand I watch him to see If he's on the job. As soon as I find he's efficient and hard working 1 don't bother about him any more. Now, as soon as Father Burke began 1 saw he was right on to his job, and so I didn't worry about him.

Wonderful Discovery After a series of careful experi- ments and tests at the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., covering many years—Dr, Pierce, the medical director of that hospital, made announcement that he could prove that a medicine which he call- ed “ANURIC” was the best uric acid solvent now to be had. As a remedy for those easily recognized symptoms of inflammation—as scalding urine, backache and fm’uent urination, well as sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, gout, it is simply wonderful how quickly “Anuric” acts; causing the pains and | stiffness rapidly to disappear. Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to s dropsical_condition, often caused by dis- o kidneys, Naturally when the kid- neys are deranged the blood is filled with mous waste matter, which settles in the f ankles and wrists; or under the eyes -like formations. 1t {s just as necessary to keep the kldneys acting properly as to keep the s active. The ‘very best possible way to take care is to take & xln- of hot water fore meals and an “Anuric” tablet. In this way it is readily dissolved with the 1 picked up by the blood and finally reaches the kidneys, where it has a tonic effect in nbulld(n:“lhon organs. ¥ Step into_the g store and B0-cent package of “Anuric” or send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial pkg nurie”-—many times more potent than ia, eliminates uric acid as hot water m trial eonvince you.—.
