Back to Business.

Now that the street car strike is
over and street railway service re-
stored to normal, the best thing for all
concerned is to get back to business as
quickly as possible.
True, the strikers have lost so far
as their original demands go, but
street railway employees have secured
some concessions that might otherwise
not have been accorded.
True, also, the street car company
has won out in maintaining the posi-
ton it assumed, but it has won at a
cost greater than the loss of dollars
and cents by alternating the good will
of a considerable portion Of the com.
munity.
The real lesson of the strike, as has
already been pointed out by The Bee
is to bring home to one and all the
necessity of legislation that will pre-.
vent repetition by providing adequate
machinery for adjusting disputes be,
tween public utility corporations and
their employees without stopping serv.
ice to the public, and without infictina
~irreparable loss on the community.
Aside from all that, however, the
strikers doubtless realize now tina
their strike was prematurely called
and that nothing is to be gained by
trying to protract a bad situation.
The thing to do is to face the facts
call on strike benefits from other I'M
ions, rescind the rules penaliEing unior
~workingmen from patronizing the
street cars, ask sympathizers to re
serve manifestations of their sympath!
and everyone put shoulders to th'
wheel to boost for Omaha Inc Omaha
prosperity, in which all will share.
Back to business-no one ever losei
by being a good loser.

Our Invincible Sailor Lads.

When the school children in their
assembly rooms now sing the gleeful
chorus, Pull away, pull away, pull
away, brave boys, pull away, pull
away, for the victory's ours" let them
feel a new consciousness Of the i'm
crews of American tars have just pulled
away from the pride Of jealous
European navies a double triumph
most complete.
No feature of New York's Hudson
Fulton celebration was more inspiring
than the aquatic contests among the
men from the b~attleships of the fight
ing power Of the world. The German
Emperor had his double-eagle eye upon
these rowing races, and the pride of
the whole German fleet had been in
daily training for months to win the
great international prize. The Ameri-
can sailors sent a fresh new crew
against these seasoned hearties. To
read the conclusion of the story in the
news reports is to send the blood
pulsing exultantly through an Ameri-
cans veins. These boys from the
Minnesota Just toyed with the Ger
mans. They took the lead at the start,
pulled a wonderfully good stroke, and
finished 100 yards to the fore and Bit
ter was the disappointment to the Kais-
er's fleet.
Now for that international classic,
the three-mile race for the Battenberg
cup. AT the start upstream the twelve
doughty, carsmen from the British
cruiser, Drake, shot ahead, but they
did not keep the lead more than one
eighth Of a mile. First the Louisiana's
cutter and then the Minnesota's over
took the Britons. The Minnesota's
boat gradually overhauled the Lou
~isiana's and passed 1t at the end f the
second mile. In the last 100 yards
the L~ouisiana's oarsmen made a des-
perate squirt, but the Mlnnesota's crew,
pulling evenly, crossed the finish line
we'll in the lead, and the Britons from
the Drake were nine lengths behind.
Boat races do not win battles, but
these splendid achievements of Ameri-
can brain and Drawn, done within view
of the cheering multitudes aboard the
fleets Of assembled nations, furnish to
Europe an effective object lesson, and
afford to American pride and Ameri,
can patriotism renewed confidence in
the ability of the men aboard the ships
to go forth into vaster maneuvers tc
vindicate the nations destinies.

The Last Debate.

The refusal of Mr.. Bryan to enter
into a debate on the tariff with SEN
ator Bailey is eliciting words of dis
appointment in certain quarters sup
posed to voice admiration for Mr..
Bryan, who try to make out it is the
first time he has refused to go into a
joint debate with anyone in his class.
This recalls some of Mr.. Bryan's
former appearances in public, and his
original preference for the joint de-
bate. When he was first elected to con
gress Mr.. Bryan covered his district
in double harness with his opponent,
William j. Cornell, and four years
later, II memory serves us correctly
Mr.. Bryan as a candidate for United
States senator debated with John NJ
Thurston, who was running against
him.
Mr.. Bryan's last joint debate was
that in which he Joined issue on the
silver question with Edward Rose
water, the founder, and then editor, OF
The Bee. The debate took place in the
Creighton theater in this city in May
1896, before an overlooking audience
of partisans who wen home each side
more firmly convinced in the opinions
they had brought with them. The dis
c~ussion was repeated at the Chautau
qua in Kansas City a few weeks latel
by the same debaters, who were boil
on their way to the republican ma
tional convention about to meet in st
Louis. Mr. Bryan was nominated To-
the presidency in Chicago early in tn,
following month, since which time h,

are reported by the United States con-
sular service as economically substi-

troll OF the British postoffice all the
coast stations Of the Marconi system
except the long distance stations at
Poldhu and Clifton, which have been
reserved for transatlantic messages.
The government bought the stations
outright and obtained also the right

the control of the British postoffice,
the Marconi stations will be opened
for communication equally with all

monopoly, the Marconi people hitherto
having sought to compel all ships to In

Great Britain has won not only a

triumph as we'll, and the London press
in ~applauding governmental control
goes so far as to predict that this i'm

continued ~oongested at rates prohibit

for commercial and 5 cents for press

Spreading the Lesson of Peace.

Campaigns of education have been
directed go successfully against minor
evils OF the day, that a Boston idea
has sprung up for such a camOsign
to demonstrate the folly Of war, and
to give the plan a practical foundation.
One man, Edwin CHM. pledges from
his private fortune $4,000 a year,
hoping to attract other contributions
that shall increase the fund to an eff
ficient amount.
While admitting that man has had
to fight his way from the beginning,
Mr.. CHM points out that We have long
since passed the ~walled-town stage
and that we have reached a point Of
development where physical force
within each nation is applied only as
a police measure to restrain the vic
ious and turbulent. In their barbaric
attitude toward each other, nations
display a fear and a distrust which to
Mr.. Ginn's mind are wholly unwar-
ranted in a civilized world. Believing
that each individual nation wishes to
to undisturbed in the peaceful devel-
opment Of It's own resources, he pro-
poses in all good faith and earnestness
to abolish the enormous expense of
armies and navies by appealing to the
enlightened self-interest of mankind
and getting in motion educational
forces which shall show the folly of
the present status. Mr.. Ginn's W
belief is that ultimately the idea which
underlies the movement for the Hague
Court can be developed so hat each
nation may be persuaded to contribute
a small percentage of It's military force
on sea and land to form an Interna-
tional guard or police force. General
disarmament he believes would soon
follow.
But first he offers of his private
funds to found an International School
of Peace. The initial movement con-
templates the modification of all
courses of study. He would eliminate
literature and history intoxicating the
military spirit and exaggerating the
achievements of war. In place of war
heroes he would exploit unselfish and
self-sacrificing men and m who
have achieved benefits for the human
race in the arts, the sciences, and
other fields of peace. Mr.. CHM be-
lieves hat the literature of philoso-
piers and of captains of industry can
be made as alluring to the youthful
mind: and inasmuch as he himself il
a school book publisher and has sup
piled many thousands of volumes ex.
plotting the very things he now con
dennis, he must be credited with the
sincerity Of an awakened conscience
Young America would doubtless fine
this censored history tame, with Wash
ington and Grant and Sheridan ant
Sherman and Dewey toned down tt
peaceful pursuits. But the movemen
for lesser ornaments and for interna
tionaI peace is marching on, and be
hind 1t are determined spirits whC
doubtless yet will point the way to re
duce the burdens of -war-readiness il
times of peace.

Miss Stewart, the American heiress, a few

lender for cash which the plaintiff alleges
he loaned to the prince so hat he could

1t is interesting to learn from President
Baer Of the Reading that there is no coal
trust. and that uniformity of price for
coal results simply from the fact that when
Reading fixes the price all the other coal
producing companies OF the country accept
it's rates, and, being able to produce coal
more cheaply than can Reading, fatten
their profits. No doubt the other trusts OF
the country will be quick to catch the hint
and engage in the game OF follow your
