The Burden of Armament.

Nations of Europe are beginning to
look askance at the naval programs,
and there are indications that a halt
eventually will be called upon the ma
val rivalry Of the world. Great Britain
is already beginning to stagger under
the gigantic burden Of its peace arma-
ment and has not succeeded in
Strengthening out its budget crisis
when France also awakes to the fact
that naval and army expenses have
brought it face to face with q budget
whose increase is more than forty mil
lions.
The suggestion preached in Paris
that France, Britain and Germany
form a tripartite treaty for the limita-
ton of the peace armament is likely
to be viewed favorably by the taxpay-
ers Of the three countries, yet with re-
l~uctance, II not suspicion, by the am
bilious and Jealous powers. But the
prodigious bounds made in the cost Of
naval construction must soon bring
not only European nations, but also
the United States, to realize that ere
long the limit of endurance shall have
been reached by the public purse.
One hopeful sign in our own coun-
try is that the future evolution of the
navy promises to be along lines that
may make for economy. The STRAIT
egists having doomed the light cruis-
ers and other auxiliary vessels, the
navy promises to be confined to two
classes, the battleships and the de-
stroyers. simpliaed batteries are
promised for the dreadnaughts, and
inasmuch as the naval battles of the
future are likely to be confined largely
to long range fighting, it is probable
that fewer warships will be needed and
that no exhaustive addition to our
present program need be made. AS
far as our country is concerned, 1t
must maintain a navy sufficient to
operate If need be against any hostile
power in either ocean. 50 that we have
a direct interest in every proposal to
fix a limit for European fleets.

Railroad %superYision.

The spirit of hostility manifested be-
tween state and interstate commits
sions gives proof to the public, II any
proof were needed, of the justice Of
the presidents assertion that further
railway regulating legislation is called
for.
With legitimate state rights Of any
sort there should, Of course, be no fed
eral interference, nor is there evident
any intention on the part of interstate
commission or the president to ask for
congressional action that shall restrict
the powers Of the state commissioners.
1t is manifestly unfair, however, for
federal inspectors to be hampered in
their work by the exercise Of the pre-
negatives Of state officials, and con-
gress will be expected to enact such
legislation as shall free the interstate
commission from such strife.
1t should always be remembered
that state and nation are working to
the same end, and they should I'M
doubtedly work i'll the utmost har-
mony. State authority may be main
tanned without interfering with the OPP
GRAFTON of the interstate board in any
state for the good of the country at
large, and the national board should be
able so to adjust itself that it may &C
complish its purposes without denial
Of any local privileges. 1t is a delicate
problem, but it devolves upon congress
to make an early attempt to remove
existing restrictions which are at the
root of the present clash of state and
interstate authority.

In leveling it's shafts, death has in
n day singled out two shining marks,
men of similar walks Of life. in Rich
ard Watson Glider and William NJ.
Lanan.
Mr.. Glider was the chief genius Of a
family of geniuses, and came to be
universally known as an editor and as
a poet. His life and his letters dealt
with great thoughts and lofty aims,
and although he could in nc sense be
considered a popular poet, writing for
the masses as did Longfellow, never
theless his name will live in song,
sounding the clear, high notes. Not
only was he a good editor and good
poet; he was also a good citizen, and
his works in the causes Of benefaction
and good government will live after
him.
Mr.. Laffan was best known as pub
Usher of the New York Sun, which he
had for many years conducted as a
fearless free lance in the cause of civ
ilization. In addition he took impor-
tant part in the directorate of Harper
& Brothers, and he was an authority
on fine arts, architecture and ceramics.
Both Mr.. Glider and Mr.. Laffan gave
to literature lasting products from
their pens, and neither was too busy
enacting the part of the scholar to take
a large personal share in the practical
duties Of citizenship making for a
greater and a nobler country. Theirs
It was to demonstrate hat fine schol-
larship did not need to stoop to con

Another Bunoo Game Exposed.

The opinion recently given by the
city attorney advising the city council
that the initiative and referendum law
is not in force in Omaha is entitled to
some attention in passing because it
exposes another bunco game which our
friends, the democrats, tried to work
with more or less success on victims
who ought to have known better.
1t should be remembered that three
years & the democratic mayor and
council submitted to the voters a prop
osition for popular ratification which
was supposed to put into effect the in
itiative and referendum law, which by
it's terms waited for such acceptance.
The democratic World-Herald pounded
the tom-tom for the initiative and
referendum to enlist votes for its edi-
tor, who was hen running for con-
gress. knowing full well that the
proposition was not in legal form and
was vitality defective because of failure
to comply with jurisdictional require
ments. In other words, the referendum
was simply a buhco game set up by the
democrats in control Of the city hall
with full knowledge Of it's fraudulent
character and designed to catch q few
suckers who might not see through the
sham.
And now comes the same democratic
city attorney, who was officially
charged with passing on the original
ordinance. and in a written opinion de-
elGres that the action OF the former
democratic mayor and council is void
and OF no effect and the vote taken
p%urportinE 10 endorse il was merely a
straw ballot. II the city attorney had
given this opinion at the time the fake
ordinance was up the bunco game
would nave been baked, but holding
his once as a democrat, he must have
thought party loyalty called on him to

Our Neighboring Revolutionist..

The significance Of the decision Of
our government as voiced in the mes
sage signed by Secretary Knox after
consultation with the president con
corning the Nicaraguan affair is not
in the language Of the dispatch, which
is that usual in such cases, in con-
formity with the established interna-
tional blockade code, but instead lies
in the fact that by recognizing the
blockade, IF effective" we virtually
commit ourselves to recognition of
the rebels operating against Zelaya as
revolutionists.
Recognition of such belligerents
has uniformly been withheld in the
practice of the State department, but
the knowledge that Zelaya's long
established hostility to Americans had
actually taken the form Of operations
against American interests in Mica
ragua and also execution Of Ameri-
CAM without trial, was bound to pre-
cipitate action. The United States
mhulIbBlB no ueblT6 OF 10
take any active part in the conflict Of
the two forces, and It's vigilance thus
far is confined to protection Of its own
interests, but the fact that circum-
stances required us to acknowledge
the belligerency of the insurgents may
lead to attempted reprisals which will
still further involve us in the future
Of that republic.
The natural disposition for us is to
keep hands of OF these troubled Cen
trail American republics, but when
driven to take a hand events march
fast. Since we have committed our
selves thus far, 1t might be worth
while to consider seriously the subject
Of a convention that should put an
end to these constantly recurring
ebullitions so destructive of trade re-
lations and subversive of prosperity
among our lesser neighbors. While
they take advantage of our protection
through assertion Of the Monroe doc
trine, they should give us some sort of
assurance of good behavior.

THEIR WAYS AND OURS.

New York Sun.
The disinterested condemnation directed
from America against the processes and
practises Of the French courts must bring
the flush Of pride to every patriot cheek.
The examination Of the prisoner provided
for in the Code Napoleon Is properly de-
nounced. The wrongs done to the &C
cused are fittingly celebrated. The hideous
possibilities concealed in these legal pro-
visions for compelling confession are ap-
propriately set forth. There is no doubt
that Judge Wales would mend his ways
were It necessary for him to appeal to the
electors Of New York for retention in
office.
So from the contemplation Of this abom-
Unable spectacle of public inquisltion and
the admirable anger It has produced among
the foremost protectors of human rights we
turn in relief to the study Of our W
gentle and wholly p~raiseworthy institutions.
The highly ingenious misuse Of the grand
jury's summons, which calls a suspect be-
fore an assistant district attorney, pro-
claims our superiority to the desplsed
French. The magnificent third degree of
our police masters with its edifying trick Of
keeping prisoners without sleep for hours
on end, its resort to mental II not physi-
cal torture, its bland acceptance OF "volun-
confession, all appeal irresistibly to
us. We know that they must be the finest
flower Of human civilization, else their
existence would not be tolerated for a
moment in this country. Were they even
in the slightest degree questionable they
could not survive for an instant in a COM
munity in which the sufferings of a pris-
Oner in a foreign land can stir to indignant
expression so generous a sentiment Of hor-
ror and disgust.

Napoleon and Roosevelt, as subjects from
which to point a moral or adorn a tale,
are sadly over-worked. Especially is this
true when brilliant pens write OF Roose-
velt's possible return from Elba-a political
spook materiallzed for the purpose Of
frightening Mr., Taft.
Mr.. Roosevelt's retirement from the pres
idency is so recent that It seems a pity
some persons must be reminded that in the
biography OF that distinguished hunter Of
predatory things, both tame and wild, there
is no such word as 'Elba."

AS for Theodore Roosevelt, he was not

he left IL freely. Had he desired to stay

his successor the very man he asked them

Nor is he in exile. Though his present
address is somewhere in the tropics and
in the same latitude as st. Helena, he has
not yet been banished from the affections
OF his countrymen. And when he returns

There are many ways of getting around

and never went further than to describe
a man OF questionable verify as CON
%spicuously inexact." The Balfour method
came rather perilously near the edge and

What the an-wise book a y about
returning good for evil is strikingly
exemplihed In the contempt case Of Ig
Dunn, in which William j. Cornell has
gone to the front to rescue the dis
barred attorney from his plight. For
years Mr.. Dunn has been most virulent
and Vicious in his illumination against
Mr.. Connell, presumably because he
was once city attorney during the may
orally of Frank e. Moores, and since
then has been the regularly retained
attorney for The Bee. The personal
atfronts by Mr.. Dunn, however, did not
prevent him from seeking Mr.. Con-
nell's assistance nor prevent Mr.. Con-
nell from responding to the appeal. 1t
remains to be seen whether this gem
crosby will soften Ig's asperity and
