Kansas city star; cheering token OF

Many firms have already notified women
that their services will not be required a1ter
July |, when the law goes into erect IL IS
no to be expected however, that this re-

ard she is there to stay. The Nebraska en-
ployers will soon get accustomed to the law
and have the women back.
Chicago Times Herald: The tNebraska)
law was doubtless conceived in most com
mendabe spirit to protect women workers
from the oppressive eXacttons oil lnhumah
employers The motive behind It's enact
ment was the amelioration OF the hardships
to which women employees are subjected
but. like all laws Of this character. there
is danger that its drastic provisions VIII
defeat the purposes OF the law and instead
OF improving conditions of female labor VIII
throw thousands of women out OF employ
ment. Proprietors OF big mercantile estab-
lishments declare their inability to comply

therefore compelled to displace women with

driving the great cotton mill industry to
the southern states, where people are per
mitted to work as many hours as they
please Such laws, while primarily aimed
for the good OF society and for the allevia-
tion of industrial ills, are an invasion OF In
dividual rights and generally go so far In

, QUESTION or STRATEGY.

The fact that no decisive results have
come from the American military opera.
tlons against the Filipinos that while
our soldiers have beaten the enemy I'm
every encounter and marched over II
considerable territory no insurgent force
of consequence has been destroyed and
no great number of prisoners have been
taken. and that at this time our army Is
practically defending Manila, suggests
the absence of intelligent strategy OH
the part of the American commanders.
our generals in the Philippines are men
of thorough education AMI long expert
encc and yet, as the Buffalo Express oh
serves our victories have been, with
out exception, soldiers triumphs rather
than officers.
our most successful tactics, says that
paper, "havc consisted merely in march
ing the soldiers up in front of the Fill
pino entertainments and then charging.
Practically every attempt at strategy
planned by General Otis or his associ-
ates seems to have failed" 1t cites sew
eral instances in support of this, saying
OF lllt Ititll bDtlh'lolS Spu'b VI -'"h'''
that they have been lacking in that tiuc
quality of gcneralship which destroys
an enemy, instead of merely letting him
run away to rally and hsht again. yet
there appeared to be offered here an
excellent opportunity to get in the rear
of the insurgents and compel their sur
render.
| 1t is very likely that many military
| men entertain the same view expressed
by our Buffalo contemporary and GER
tanly there is reason for astonishment
that in nearly five months of fighting
| the American generals have accom-
plshed so little. All of these officers
have fine records. 1t will not be ques-
toned that Otis and Lawton and Mae
| Arthur are good soldiers. The forces
under them have never been surpassed
in courage, endurance and forttude.
The insurgents have no generals which
Americans would admit are comparable
with ours in ability and their soldiers
are far inferior to the Americans. Yet
| for more than four months the Filipino
forces, regarded as semi-barbarous, have
kept our army busy pursuing them from,
| point to point and are still apparently
strong enough to continue hostilities i'll
definitely. They flee before our advance
but they appear again. They have lost
heavily, but for every one killed OF
wounded there would seem to be an.
other to take his place. That they are
not without ideas of strategy the recen,
menace of Manila shows.
We are not disposed to join with those
who urge that change of commanders
at Manila is desirable General Otis Is
capable officer and thoroughly fa
miliar with the situation. new com
mander would require some time to ia
miliarize himself with the condition:
and this would give the enemy an op
portunity to increase his strength. Bu
we admit that there is apparent justin
cation for the dissatisfaction and impa
tience with the course of events il
Luzon that is being manifested. Th'
first duty of the government Is to sent
more troops there and it is said tina
this will probably be done. If then ou
generals in the Philippines fail Il
achieve decisive results change viii
become imperative.

SECTIONAL TRAITS IN FoHbEHi :
wby western Methods Are superior
to Those of the East.


Tho Introduction of the wild western
methods of robbery into the east iachs o,e
impoa,tant essential to secure for 1t ready
adoption, and that is out west they ca.ch
the thieves. A pertinent illustration of this
is given in the matter OF the loo'ihs VI
the Union Pacific train near Cheyenne
Which is thrown into parallel WIN the
successful foray so recently made In the
city park. In the former case the ROD
bers were pursued to capture, theiT trall
being taken up and followed with great
promptness. In the latter neither the
trail nor the robbers have been taken ana
the parallel is destroyed by the divergence
of lines which started out so favoraply'
IL is reported that the pursuit OF the
local thieves is embarrassed by their negiect
to leave a trail, which, II true, was
reprehensible innovation on their part upon
the western system But, after all, that
has never been deemed clear matter OF
duty for them, while, on the other hand' ha
business of detectives is to hnd cues ana
follow trails 1t is the obvious conclusion,
from this view of the case, that the west
has the better detectives and we nave the
better robbers.
But there is a ray of hope, clue that
Sherlock Holmes would have reveled IN
The local detective police have hit upon
the happy method of watching for un-
precedented expenditures OF small change
suoh as formed the volume of Monday
mornings takings by the thieves. This

GERMAN INDEMNITY CLAIM.

The announcement made in the Relch-
stag by the German minister of foreign
affairs, that the government would sub
nit a claim for indemnity for damages
to property of Germans in Samoa which
was destroyed by "illegal British or
American action" was perhaps not seri-
ously made, but assuming that 1t was
intended to be serious it is pretty safe
to say that any such demand would be
rejected by both the governments of
Great Britain and the United States.
1t is difficult to see upon what reason
able ground Germany could base Il
claim of this kind, in view Of the de-
cision of the Samoan commission. That
fully sustains the action of the British
| and American officials at Samoa and i'll
effect places the entire responsibility
for the trouble there upon the German
officials. Hence Germany has no legiti-
mate claim for damages, but rather
might justly be asked to pay an indem-
nifty for British and American losses.
No less untenable, not to say absurd
is the suggestion of the Prussian An
nual in regard to indemnity for losses
due to war in the West Indies and the
Philippines. Undoubtedly German com
mercial interests were indirectly dam
aged by the warfare in these quarters
but so were the interests of other com
mercial countries, and it is manifestly
ridiculous to assert that there is an!
principle of international law that will
require the United States to pay indem
nifty for this. The German government
will hardly venture to urge these nj
legged claims.

RALLYLNG ROUND THE CAULDRoN.

Especial Dispatch to the Word-Herald)
LINCOLN, Neb., June 23-The three par
ties-the democrats, the populists and the
silver republicans-will hold their state con-
ventions at Omaha on the same day-August
22-and the committee officials are in
structed to call them for that time and
place This was decided by the three state
central committees this afternoon. The
committees met separately-the democratic
at the state house in the senate chamber,
the populsts and republicans at the Lincoln
hotel.

witch, walked thrice around the popo-

voice of Bryan in sonOrous tones was

The ridiculous boasting of the Omaha
Fakery was never more strikinglE
shown than by the following extract
from Il halfcolumn of editorial SELF
laudation:
Tuesday morning one OF the most desper-
ate little encounters in the Philippines was
the subject of a splendid cable story by the
World Heralds special correspondent, John
+. Bass.
We venture to assert that the World
Herald has never received one word or
special cable direct from Manila, ana
we are safe in the assertion that John
+. Bass, who represents New YORK
paper in the Philippines, has never seen
n copy of the World-Herald and II is
doubtful whether he is aware that such
a paper Is published. But that is of Il
piece with Il fake cablegram that ap-
peared Il year or more ago i'll the same
sheet purporting to quote Il conVersa-
ton of Pope Leo with special repre-
sentative of the only Omaha daily that
has money to burn and boasts of hav-
ing ENJOYS extraordinary in its pay at
all the capitals of Europe and Asia.
