Arms and the Woman.

These are days of war and rumors
of war, On the Mexican border mimic
battle RACES, but even at the seat of
our own government rumblings are
heard. Troops have invaded Wash
ington. A whole arsenal of paint
and powder shells has been estab-
lished in the very shadow of the cap
itol. The dispatches say Of the eff
feet of the Mexican war, THE presi-
dent is visibly distressed" Perhaps,
but on the other hand the president
has gone personally among the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution with
the olive branch extended. A war cor
respondent at the front says:
President Taft told the daughters that he
knew there would be enough differences of
opinion among them to add interest to the
occasion of their visit, but he hoped they
would be attended with that love and
amlty which We hope to see established
throughout the world"
In the face of foreign war almost
at our elbow, it is to be hoped that
this earnest plea for peace from the
commander-in-chief Of our army and
navy will not fall upon deaf ears; that
flags will be furled arms sheathed
and stacked, lines dissolved and peace
reign. Will the brave women hear?
At most any other time we might
stand for few battles, but not now
not now, with our southern boundary
threatened with invasion A bulletin
from Washington declares:
Rumors Indicate that the fight in the
present convention of the Daughters of
the American Revolution over the election
Of officers will be carried on with more
than usual virulence. the factions being
especially 'het up" in regard to the meth
DDS Of their opponents
May the persuasive voice of the
chief magistrate prevail. May inter-
vention by the head of the nation not
be in vain. More than usual viru-
lence." An ominous foreboding, see
ing just what the usual virulence"
has been. II there was ever a time
for the daughters to resolve not to
"revolute," this is it. Some sinister
scamp has ventured the SANDER that
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton existed chiefly for the purpose
Of electing officers, since, so far as the
public is concerned, the officers really
do nothing after they are elected.
But they seem to be doing something
now. and so do they at each recurring
election, when they fight with more
than usual virulence." :

Campaign Fund Publicity.

The passage of the before-election
campaign fund publicity bill as part
of the democratic house program at
Washington is a reminder that Ne
braska has had a law on its statute
books designed for the same purpose
since 1899, and that It has had a
before-election provision engrafted on
it since 1909. There may be a differ
ence OF opinion as to what extent this
legislation has restrained the inn
proper use OF money in elections in
Nebraska, but our experience with the
known defects of the Nebraska law
would indicate that the bill which the
democrats have Tailroaded through
the house without amendment is put
up solely for advertising purposes,
and with no idea Of making It an
effective brake on campaign corrup-
ton.
The democratic bill so far as it re-
lates to money spent in congressional
and national campaigns is even less
comprehensive then the Nebraska law
so far as II relates to money spent in
state and local campaigns, and leaves
so many loopholes for evasion that 1t
need be observed only by those who
want to observe It. Merely to require
the filing of a public statement by
treasurers of regular party committees
is form that has here proved no bar
TO the secret use of money through
outside agencies organized as anti
saloon leagues, personal liberty asso-
Citations, Bryan volunteers, political
clubs and other makeshifts whose
main distinction is in name only.
If the democratic lawmakers in
Washington were really in earnest
they might plug up the holes in the
Nebraska campaign publicity law as a
framework and apply it to candidates
for all elective federal Offices.

Bernstein Of Omaha states that more boys
went wrong during the last wear than
during the year previous, and he ascribes
the cause to the unlicensed and unrestricted
pool halls. Officer Bernstein and the
Judges OF the district court will therefore
again ask the city council to pass an
ordinance requiring pool hall owners to
give license bond, that the hours be re-
stricted and that they be made responsible
and accountable for the character Of their
places. The Hub does not believe that
the public pool halls should be abolished,
but 1t does believe that they should be
under strict regulation and maintained as
clean places of recreation.

Just sparring for Wind.

OMAHA, April 1S-To the Editor OF The
Bee: You discuss the report of the engi-
neering expert on the needed improve
ments in the water plant, but you say
nothing about the letter of the Water
board to the water company proposing a
plan of settlement of the whole contro-
versy. What do you think about that?
w. B. ].
The Bee has given attention to the
report of the engineering expert be-
cause it seems to be real contribu-
ton toward the solution of our. water
problem. 1t passed the Water boards
letter up because it does not appear
on its face to be seriously intended
The Water board has been beating the
drums about the absolute necessity of
immediate relief for water users who
are overtaxing the present capacity of
the plant and proposing a big bond
issue to furnish the money. To ex-
pedite the work the water company,
through It's president, renewed it's
standing offer to build the second
main to Florence for the city on agree
ment to reimburse and pay accrued
hydrant rentals so that the money
thus tied up could be used for that
purpose. Instead Of trying to reach
working basis the Water board seeks
to complicate things by a counter con-
dition that the water company deliver
over its plant on part payment OF the
judgment and litigate afterward as to
what more 10 due. With reference to
this plan President Woodbury., when
last In Omaha, made 3 public state
ment. giving the Water board the an
swer in advance. He said:
We shall never deliver this plant upon a
partial payment and allow questions to be
litigated. We will not handicap any prop
osition which has for It's purpose the
acquisition Of the plant. All we want is
our money in full. and when II is rendered
ne We will quit claim any interests We
have in the plant
Knowing the position of the water
company, the Water board seems to
have taken merely a roundabout way
to decline it's offer TO build the new
main and to spar for wind, while the
bill which the taxpayers will have to
foot continues to grow bigger.

KNOCKING DEMoeRATIC HARMONY
Organism a Menace to the Party's
welfare.

Houston (Tex.) Post (dem.).
Mr.. Bryan's recent presence in washing
ton, where he was active in urging upon
members of the minority party in the SEN
ate a course of procedure we'll calculated
to destroy that harmony among demo-
Gratis so essential TO success in the COM
ing presidential election, was most I'M
fortunate, and while his admirable per-
sonality and clean private life impel many
people to moderation in commenting on his
action, 1t is certain that well informed
democrats everywhere who have the sue
cess and real welfare of the party at
heart are very much displeased at Mr..
Bryan's continued presumption in imagin-
ing that the party cannot get along better
without his oounsels, for the time being,
at least, than with them
1t is difficult to believe that Mr.. Bryan $
harmony disturbing counsels are prompted
by disappointment over his frequent de-
feats and a determination to force his
own radical views upon the party or else
create conditions which will bring about
its defeat In the next election, but GER
tainly his present activity is difficult TO
reconcile with the unseIfsh party loyalty
which has in all the past history of the
party characterized the conduct Of its de-
feated presidential candidates.
Certainly the motive, or motives. back
of Mr.. Bryan's present course of action
is susceptible of misconstruction, as is
amply evidenced by the open insinuation
of republican newspapers that he is a
receptive candidate for a fourth nomina-
ton for the presidency.

I-IIIIdutIplId Ledger.
The campaign publicity bill passed by the
last congress requires the publication of
all the candidates expenses Immediately
after the elections. The new bill Just
passed in the house requires this publca-
ton before the election. The republicans
and insurgent democrats succeeded in add
ing an amendment which included expendi-
lures at the primary elections. The reason
for the excitement caused by this is that
down south where there is only one party
the primary is the real election, and it is
there that the money is spent. Naturally
this degree of publicity was offensive to
the southern democrats and party dis
cipline was invoked to strike the amend

IGNORING THE TEST.
Judge SanbOrn's DecisiOn on Pas
senGer Rate Question.
Plttsburg DIspatch.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
The United States circuit court at st.
Paul MINI. does not seem to have heard
OF the,supreme courts theory that the al
legged "confiscaion" Of a state-imposed rate
might better be determined by actual test.
Circuit courts. possibly through esprit de
corps. do not deem that practical method
Of determination. which reacted so severely
on one Of their grade in New York, worthy
of notice.
Yet there is good reason for deferring
to that test in regard to the plea that a
2-cent fare law Is taking the railroads
property in the form of profits. Pennsyl-
vania courts paid no attention to the viro
tue OF experience But in Ohio and Michi-
gan, where curiousy enough the railroads
omitted before the courts their regular
plea of confiscation. this test Of the law
for an extended period proved that the
increase of traffic by reason of the lower
rates gave the railroads more net income
than the old rate.
Yet the density of passenger traffic in
those states must be less than on the main
line of the Pennsylvania railroad, on which
route our courts held the 2-cent rate unre-
munerative and therefore confiscatory. Is
1t possible that the facts are so unmndful
of respect to the courts as to prove the
supreme court of this state and the United
states circuit courts TO be in error7

Apotheosis of Base Ball.

In algebra one process of removing
an unknown quantity from an equa-
ton is by elimination. Supposing
base ball to be an unknown quantity
in the equation OF American national
life, its imaginary removal by elimi-
nation may give US some appreciable
idea of its place and influence But,
like so many modern advantages we
enjoy today, it is doubtful If the aver
age fan, even, stops to note the great
place that base ball fills in his life and
in the life of his country.
Some writer's tell us that base ball
is of very ancient origin, that it was
played in Egypt during the days Of
the Pharoahs. Perhaps it was. In
fact, late encyclopedias present draw
ings\ of ancients holding clubs in very
much the same position as ball play
ers grip their bats in the modern
game OF today. But IL the ancients
did play the game, they overlooked a
wonderful opportunity not to develop
it and bring out all the beauties anu
niceties of the inside plays.
But the fact is that not in history
has any nation made of a national
sport or game what the United States
has made of base ball. From a mere
pastime for youth 1t has come to
amount to a great profession, afford
ing young men, many Of culture and
intellect, an excellent means of live
lihood and of acquiring a future com
petence; a wonderful business pro-
life of good revenues to the shrewd
man Of means and last, a superb
source of entertainment for millions.
1t is the one form Of sportsmanship
inherently strong enough to be COM
mercialized without injury, but with
profitable results.
To find the value of this quantity.
then, in the equation of our national
life, suppose its elimination. Take
base ball out of the country and look
at the gap made by the divers angles
of it's influence. In the first place,
it would leave a hole in our COM
mercial life which nothing short of
$S0,O00,O00 annually could fill, for,
CONSERVATORY estimated, that amount
is put into the game each year. And
what as a game or means of entertain
ment could be offered as its substi-
tute? The spirit of base ball is the
spirit of heightened rivalry and COM
petition, which gives a certain touch
of virility to the youth OF this land
and which could ill be spared from it.
But It gill not soon, II ever, die. To-
day it is on the increase. Other ma
tions are borrowing this ones national
game, coming along a new line for
help from America,
