Madero and De Ia Barra.

The first seeming clash has come
between Madero and De la Barra in
Mexico. II is not as yet overt, but it
records a lack of complete harmony
between the factions following the
revolutionary leader and the head of
the ad interim government.
Madero appointed a committee, in
GLIDING his brother. to investigate the
causes of the outbreaks in different
parts of Mexico. The report indicates
what Madero feared that a certain
movement is on foot to discredit him
and undermine his candidacy for pres
ident, casting a complete shadow upon
the triumph of the revolution. Glen
tifico agents are held partially re-
sponsible for this conspiracy. Large
financial interests from abroad are
likewise blamed. Madero's friends
contend that these elements are seek
ing to establish the impression at
home and elsewhere. particularly in
Wall street. that Madero is weak and

II is not claimed that De la Barra
is in any way responsible for foment-

Hitting the nail on the heads the thing
That's the philosophy some folks sing;
But driving 1t through and making it clinch
On the other side In terrible pinch
Is better than all, than all to do
Clnching the nail that you've driven
through
Hitting and driving and cllnching it,
Making each blow strike home
Such is the secret Of all success,
Art or music, or poem.
Merely to hit it-that all can do;
Hitting and clinehings and driving through,
1t is never the half but the whole that
counts,
1t is never the one-wlnged soul that mounts
But the balanced pinions. poised and flung
To the peaks of glory toward which they
sprung;
Hitting and clinching and driving through
That is the best of all,
The winning note in the pulsnG throat
When the bugles of beauty call.
Hitting the nail on the heads all right.
But II isn't the whole by terrible sight;
II takes some skill and II takes some pluck,
And often It's merely a stroke OF luck;

The Father Of the Trnsts.

John =. Parsons, former president
OF the American Bar association and
former counsel for the American
Sugar Refining company, known as the
Sugar trust, is by all odds the most
entertaining witness who thus far has
testified in the Sugar trust contro-
versy. Just to define his relative i'm
portance, Mr.. Parsons modestly ex-
plains At the outset that whatever
credit or blame lie due for the organ
izing OF the combine. that lie, consoli-
dating the sugar interests, must fall
on him for he did it, not Henry o.
Havemeyer, who is dead and unable
to answer for himself Whereupon
old Hawkshaw, Representative Madi-
son of the house investigation COM
mittee, leaps forth with his AHA, dis
cuv-ered at last-the real father Of
the trusts" And IL is even so, for
Mr.. Parsons confessed rather jauntily
that his Sugar trust antedated even
the Standard Oil; it showed the way,
others followed.
So much for Mr.. Parsons as a great
organizer and pioneer in the gentle
art of getting the money. He has
some ideas on the matter OF conduct
ing trusts, however, that will invite
consideration. For instance, he says
the government should allow COM
merce to take it's course and permit an
industry to capitalize men as we'll as
property. Also, that there shall be
no government control of corpora
lions; that they should be permitted
unrestricted freedom in running their
own affairs and that then the ultimate
consumer would profit by 1t. He
boots at Judge Gary as a socialist and
probably would regard Andrew Carne-
gle as an anarchist for their ideas on
government regulation.
Mr.. Parsons is a great lawyer, but
he has evidently lost step with the
march of progress. What he says
ought to be has been, but without the
beneficient results of which he speaks.
The ultimate consumer is the fellow
back Of all this crusade of reforming
trusts, Of bringing commerce some
where within the purview of the laws
for its regulation. 1t is only reac-
tionary. of the reactionaries who will
now talk against sane governmental
control. The progressive men in the
Industrial world having fallen into
line on this proposition.

Oh, How Funny.

There is nothing in funny, sunny
Spain that is funnier than the antics
of the fake reformers hunting for ex-
cuses to oppose the commission plan
of city government merely because
The Bee has taken hold of 1t.
Don't sign the petitions" they
shrek.
In other words, they say the COM
mission plan is a good thing. and we
can't get it too soon, but we don't
want it Just now" They tell us that
the commission plan petitions are pre-
mature because st is too hot to vote
before November" and also because
many people do not turn out to spe-
cial elections"
The funny part is that these same
fake reformers boosting the Water
boards bunco game, precipitated a
special election to vote $3.50, 900
water bonds on June 81, and are justi-
flying another special election for the
same purpose to be held on August 2.
It is not too hot to vote an $3.50, 900
mortgage on the city in August, nor
is 1t any objection to two special water
bond elections that many people do
not turn out for special elections"
Oh, how funny!
NJ B.-The commission plan law by
its terms expressly requires the ques-
ton of adoption to be submitted at a
special election.

him credit of being a standpatter; second,

Votes fer Women.


OMAHA, July ALTO the Editor of The
Bee: When the BARRIERS went before the
council to ask for an ordinance to close
their shops on Sunday, l noticed that no
one got up and roasted them for getting
their idea out of the Ladies' Home Journal,
no one demanded that they provide in
stanter a substitute for Sunday barbering,
no one accused them of selfishness, i'm
pugned their motives. or questioned their
pa triotism; no one moved at the proper
moment. to squelch the ordinance by post
ponement; one even rose to speak
against 1t, and not a vote opposed 1t, and
though the request was entirely just, there
was no question OF life or death concerned.
And yet over a year ago, when the club
women took the same method OF securing
an ordinance stopping the sale of danger
Gus fireworks, when the very lives of their
children were at stake all these dis
respectful things did happen.
or course the councilmen who passed
the BARRIERS ordinance must face these
same BARRIERS at the polls on next election
day. and they certainly did not have to
answer to the mothers of Omaha at the
ballot box at any future time.
The relation Of the above facts is so
perfectly plain that i wonder how much
longer the intelligent women of Omaha
will view such happenings with their
present degree of complacency.

No Monuments 20 DisloyRltY.
OMAHA, July 2O.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: I was surprised In reading the pro-
ceedings OF congress In your valuable paper
that an appropriation Of 10000 was passed
to erect a monument TO the confederate
navy. 1 was At q loss TO know what the
purpose could be. I wondered what great
service the confederate navy had rendered
the United States of America that would
call for such an extravagant recognition.
What kind of an inscription would be
placed upon it3 Senator Cummins of Iowa
shed a little light on the subject when
he said. at was for the purpose Of recog-
mixing the bravery OF the confederate SOL
dlers."
wish to say that Mr.. Cummins is fifty
years behind the times. We who we're in
the army found that out by experience.
No one doubts II; Shiloh and Gettysburg
are burning testimonials Of southern valor
as we'll as a hundred other battles. That
Is what makes the victory won by the
union forces of such great value. All those
facts are written in the history of the wal
and will be read by unborn millions. But
that in no sense justifies congress in APP
propriatlng money for the erection OF q
monument such as Is proposed. Monuments
are erected by nations in honor of men
who have rendered some great service tc
their country or the republic; such Il
Washington's monument: such are the
statues Of Lafayette, Lincoln, Grant and
the armies under them. l wonder II Il eveI
occurred to Senator Cummins that II the
confederates had had a few more mer
and little more ammunition, together with
their courage at Gettysburg that the mar
Of the republic would have been so changed
that he would not now be representing
Iowa in the United States senate.
The fact is, the more courage the con
federates had the worse II was for the
union army; 1t was their courage that fat
tened southern soil with the bodies of thu
slain OF the union army, Mr.. Editor, 1t II
wrong, all wrong. While 1t Is true tina
the confederate army won on more thar
one field OF battle IL never occurred t
me that we were particularly indebted t
them for licking us. We do not owe then
anything for sinking any portion of ou
navy or for preying on the commerce o.
our merchantmen on the high seas. M
brave, manly man who served the confed
eracy during 61-5 would ask for any sucl
| recognition as is proposed; such proceeding
is a kind of weak sentimentality used fo
political purposes and is an insult to boil
union and confederate soldiers.
