insurgency at Home.

1t pains us deeply to be compelled to
chronicle the fact that the hitherto pa
tient Nebraska democratic donkey is
beginning to act like an unbroken
broncho under the continued squirting
of the peerless leader" From all
parts of the state come the most sig
nificant evidence of open revolt against
the dictatorship of the man whose
word has hitherto been law. And the
worst of IL is that these evidences are
not mere mutterings, but are out
spoken utterances of democrats who
have come to that point OF recalci'
trancy where they actually insist on
thinking their own thoughts. The
fountain head at Fairvlew still purls
its limpid stream of inspiration, but
the militant democrats of Nebraska
decline to sup therefrom.
One of the members of the demo
cratic party, who is not locally insig'
nificant, because he holds a high ONCE
| by virtue of the suffrages of his fellow
citizens. replies TO Mr.. Bryan's letter:
II challenge your right TO embarrass
the democratic voters with any more
OF your hobbies" and little further
on says: IF theedemooratic party In
the last session failed to make good its
promises to the people 1t ought to be
dealt with accordingly, and even an
extra session in my judgment could
not save It,"
This most open and direct, though
respectful. defiance OF the great com
moner" is certainly conclusive evi
dence that Mr. Bryan has enough OF
insurgency in his own party in Ne
brasak TO warrant him in attending tc

Roosevelt and Peace.

Colonel Roosevelt could think of
only enough to fill one column to say
on peace before the Nobel Prize COM
mittee and he padded that out with
several references to war. His Sar-
bonnie speech in its full text comprised
page. One may scarcely hope to re-
sist the humor OF this.
But 1t Is this paradoxical aspect of
the Roosevelt character that makes
him a powerfully effective advocate Of
international peace. far more effective
tnan Tostoy as the apostle of the doc
trine OF non-reslstance. 1t gives Roose-
welt the advantage of posing as non
partisan.
1t is difficult to say anything new
on this trite subject of world peace,
hut Colonel Roosevelt has at least
put the thought of "the peace of right
euusness and justice" in an interesting
light. He must receive general APP
probation when he says that peace is
usually good in itself, but it is never
the highest good unless 1t comes as the
handmade of righteousness, and 1t be-
comes a very evil thing If it serves
sloth or an instrument to further the
ends of despotism and anarchy" World
/ peace is the wrong definition to apply
/ to this thing for which the powers have
| been striving. Righteous world peace
is what they want. The peace that per.
mits one nation to infringe upon the
rights OF another, or that obscures
from the view Of one the rights of an.
other, or that prevents war at the ex.
pense Of national honor is not the sort
OF peace the world needs. Greed, avar
ice and arrogance must be curbed in
nations as in individuals and if II can
not be done with peace, it had better
! be done without peace.
Mr., Roosevelt laid down a program
for international peace which ought &c
insure II II put into practice. 1t EN-
braces these five propositions: Arbi
tration treaties, perfection OF The
Hague proposals, application OF tho
principle OF the United States govern
ment in relation to the several states
as embodied in the federal constitu
tion, limitation of ornaments and {
league of peace.
OF course Mr.. Roosevelt emphasizes
the necessity OF An agreement anon,

before that part of his program will
become safe. He comes a long way

Keen the Oven Hot.

Hot bread is not harmful to diges-
ton, says Secretary Wilson. Good 1t
is the way in which it may be eaten.
That is what many people will say they
have thought all along; anyway they
will be glad to have this official YER
dict from a paternal secretary of
agriculture in favor of the hot biscuit,
bun, roll or loaf.
So mothers and housewives, keep
your ovens hot and proceed in the
good, old way to cook the hot bread
and serve it hot.
Secretary Wilson probably never
made a ruling that will become more
popular. Everybody loves to think of
1.-The bread that mother made" and
this decision will back him up in his
traditional contention that it was su-
perior to any other bread.
OF course hot bread, like cold bread,
may be rolled in such forms and
poorly masticated so as to deter or
impair digestion and hurt the stomach,
but 1t has always seemed like a pre-
sumption upon the standing evidence
of the big, fat, lazy boy with red cor
puscles coursing through his veins, to
argue that soft, feathery-light roll
properly saturated with butter could
hurt anybody. The proof Of the bread
probably, is in it's product. after all
1t is indeed a relief and comfort to
have this sanction of, official authority
on our side that we may go on in this
darling Indulgence of our childhood
without the beguiling fear of fatal
consequences.
Just how the housewife will take
this ruling of the secretary's is an.
other matter.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.
Significant Recommendation for Me-

Washington Post
Here is the answer the commander-in-
chief of the Grand Army of the Republic
makes TO the patriotic course Of James
Gordon, a former confederate soldier, and
for a few short weeks senator in the
Sixty-first congress from the state of Mis-
sissippi.
1T is recommended that wherever the
grave of former confederate soldier Is
found flowers be placed thereon, as a trib-
ute TO the bravery of the man who fought
on the other side, remembering that he,
two was an American soldier We were
once enemies, but now friends. The long
dark night is over-at last We are a united
people. out OF the darkness comes no echo
Of discord between brothers, no noise, no
strife no bloodshed but universal fellow
ship lights the lamp to guide the feet OF our
young republic"
This is a passage OF the annual procla-
nation touching the decoration Of so dlers
graves on May 30.
That is almost the universal sentiment
of Americans, north and south. The man
is now twoscore and five years Of age,
who was born the day the memorable
scene at Appomattox was enacted, and
most OF the men on either side who
fought that bravest Of wars are now
buried valor in the bosom of mother earth.

one people, and but for foreign imm-
grafton we should soon be as homogen-
eOus as Scotland, or Bavaria, or Provence
We can imagine that July 4, 1853 there
will be gathered together at Gettysburg
more than 100000 Americans, men,
women and children, from every state and
vicinity of this Union to celebrate the
valor of both sides on that CORY field.
and do honor to the heroes who fell there.
BY that time every one who fought that
great battle long will have been gathered
to his fathers; but these, their descend
ants, will do justice to both the eau es
met there in death grapple a century be-
fore, and each will be as proud OF the
blue as Of the gray, and as proud OF the

have seventeen steecisds ranging from
1880 to 22,OOO tons In commission. Five
great warships were put afloat in German

RECLAIMING DESERT AREAS.
Success of the Governments Policy In
the Arid West.

the Arid West.
Philadelphia Ledger.
When the federal government undertook
to make a number of desert areas in the
west and southwest available for agri-
culture by damming streams which could
be utilized for irrigation, II was virtually
certain that the new productiveness of the
land would tempt the alert and enterprislng
settler. The only doubt then existing re-
lated to the prospect that the government
would get its money back. Washington
dispatches say that the time has now ar
rived when doubt on this point is to be
dispelled. In one OF the reclaimed areas
there are 1886 farmers from whom payments
were due on April /. Nearly two-thirds of
these met their Indebtedness three or four
months in advance, and 1t is believed that
of the remainder only ten will fail to pay
in full. A few delinquents will probably
be found in a second section, owing to
especially unfavorable conditions but in a
third 1t is believed that every farmer will
meet his engagements In full. 1t was
originally intended that the money put into
these improvements should be a loan, not
a gift and when paid should be reinvested
In similar enterprises. The present outlook
is pleasing not only because it vindicates
the governments policy as financial ven
ture but also because it seems to assure a
further development of 1t.

Land Speculation In the West.

The danger spot in the present specula-
tive situation Is the west and its land
boom is the danger. All accounts agree
that this speculation in farm lands spreads
over the entire western part of the coun-
try and is running to excuses. And it is
just as much a margin" speculation as
any ever known in the stock market,
which the west always looks upon as mere
gambling with other peoples money.
Lands are bought at higher and higher
prices, and mortgaEed to the top notch
for money with which TO move on and
buy more land. 1t is safe to say that the
next panic, unlike that Of 1907, will start
In the west.
