Worth KNOWING,

In 1920, 80 young white girls, and in
the following year 60 more, were
brought over from England and sold to
the settlers in Virginia for wives. The
price was first 100 then $50 pounds Of
tobacco, worth three shillings per
pound, and a debt so contracted was
made of greater dignity than any
other.

For Humanity's Sake.

Just a few skeletonized facts emphasize the
reasons why the powers should see to IL that
war between mighty Austria and little Serva is
averted. The formers total war strength is
100000 men, servia's 100000. In addition
Austrla-TIungary has 100000 men available
but unorganized, servia $4,000. Leaving out
the United States. Austria ranks among the six
leading naval powers, servia has no rank
These figures make an eloquent and unan-
swerable plea for peace. To be sure Russia
might side with servia in defense OF its slavonlc
blood, Germany with Austria because OF the
Teutonic klnship, and IL the war engulfed others
beside the two contending powers, France, Italy
and all the Balkans might ultimately fall into
the alignment on one side or the other. Though
It we're certain to become general European
war, instead of merely fight between these
two unevenly matched nations, the cry for avert
ing hostllities for humanity's sake is equally as
insstent.
Some expert estimates that in addition to
its cost in life blood continental war would
entail a daily expense Of $4,000, 900. No man
could estimate the expense in subsequent years
Of suffering and sacrifice to the poor people Of
these countries, not to speak OF the effect such
an snnihilaton of life and property would have
upon world affairs. The European sky, though
overcast with foreboding Clouds is yet said to
be flecked with shadowy hopes OF peace.
Surely England. Germany, France and Italy
will not stand by and permit all the peaceful
progress OF the past to be dashed to pieces on
the rocks OF a race war. whatever Russia's subtle
influence may be.

Vacancies at West Point.

Again the country ia reminded Of an untitled
quota of cadets at our national military acad-
emy at West Point Not so long ago a few
youths from wel-to-do Chinese families, wishing
to learn the art of American warfare, were ad-
mtted there. 1t occasioned comment which
was soon satisfied with the official explanation
that the places might as we'll be filled by these
friendly orientals to be untitled by our own
American boys. Time was when such a con-
dition would have been a novelty as against a
long waiting list Of our own lads nsistent on a
military training.
What has produced the Change growing
spirit Of peace and loss of interest In war, the
lure OF industrialism or politics? What has
politics to do with II? Well, according to one
view expressed by the Chicago Herald, many
vacancies are due to negligence Of congressman
to nominate boys for the places this negligence
in turn, coming from fear of complicatng con-
ditions by picking one boy above another. If
this Ia the case, II is wrong. and can be easily
remedied by competitive examinations. The
places at West Point should be filled, even
though We may be steadily minimizing the part
Of war In the arbitrament OF our international
affairs But 1t is also possible and much more
probable that the growing attraction OF civil pur-
suits for young men against the none too
promising future OF a military career are exert
ing the vital and determining influence.

Not Entirely New.

The suggestion that senators are eager to
begin their campaign because, seeking election
by popular vote will be a new and strange ex-
perience for them is little wide OF the mark.
Many OF the senator's have come through the
house and, therefore, have had a thorough
training in direct appeals to the voters, and
others have had similar experiences running feS
other offices. No doubt the grave solons are
anxious to get into the fight, and many of them
have good reason to be. but we venture to say
that when it comes to fitting themselves into
the experience of a popular campaign few of
them are apt TO appear Ill at ease II that we're
ali some OF them had TO worry about they might
sit back now and rest content. No doubt the
august senators fully appreciate that, too. They
are not so much concerned as some folks might
think about the possible handicap OF their SEN
atorial dignity, as compared with the other fell
low who has been accustomed to the rough-and-
tumble tactics OF a hand-to-hand fight for
office. But there is no discountng the fact
that they are exceedingly impatient to begin
their fall fence-buildng Looking over the
field, one sees numerous fences in very rickety
repair. good deal Of rail-splitting is going
to be necessary, and in some cases, surely, the
entire fence may have TO be replaced with new
one.

Letters from "A Political Heather
Mexico.
SOMEWHERE, July 26-To the Editor
OF The Bee In refusing to pardon Maxi
milan Miramon and Mejia-despite the
appeals OF Madam Miramon and Prin-
cess salm-salm and the protest OF the
United States, President Juarez acted
wisely Had Macmillan escaped TO
Europe. he would have been a perpetual
menace TO the Mexican republic Maxi
milan had the opportunity to make mis-
escape, but he would not disguise him
self by shaving off his beard of which
he was as vain as a maid OF her tresses.
He valued his whiskers more than his
life; and as far as the world is concerned,
he chose wisely.
Macmillan was the brother Of Franz
Josef emperor OF Austria Hungary, the
son-ln-law OF Leopold /, king of Belgium,
the cousin Of Victoria, queen OF England,
Isabella. queen Of Spain and OF oscar,
king Of Sweden and Norway. In short
he was a relative OF every crowned head
In Europe, save the sultan OF Turkey, the
pope OF Rome and Louis Bonaparte. The
last two names were hackers Of Maxi
milan. Abdul-Aziz. sultan Of Turkey,
n
sovereign OF Europe interfered, though
Maximilian protested: Il am a govern
ment, recognized by every government
on EARTH except the United states. l can
be tried only by the congress OF the
nation" Notwithstanding all Of which.
Juarez set him for trial before a court
composed Of one lieutenant-colonel and
six captains. He was executed as an
Europe.
The execution OF Macmillan OF Haps-
burg did more to keep European nations
off this continent than the socalled Mon
roe doctrine in all its moods and lenses.
Gloria Benedicto Juarez. BY the way,
what is this Monroe doctrine? II origin
ated with George Claiming in England
at the time of the Holy Alliance. It was
suggested by Claiming to John Quincy
Adams secretary OF state, who put It in
form in a state paper. It got Monroe's
brand because he happened to be presi-
dent OF the United States at that time.
At that time II meant that no territory
on this continent was subject to COLOMBIA
tion or conquest by any European power;
and the United States would view as an
unfriendly act any attempt at such colo
nization or conquest. When Olney was
secretary OF state, the Monroe doctrine
was interpreted to mean that the extern
sion OF a boundary line OF a European
colony was an infringement OF this
doctrine. At this day the definition of
the Monroe doctrine appears 10 be:
The excuse offered by an Anglo-Ameri-
can statesman for meddling with the in
ternal affairs OF a Latin-American state.

water Board Discrepancies.

OMAHA, July g7-To the Editor OF The
Bee: The Water Board publishes a
stctement in The Bee Of July %, and in
my examination OF II l am led to wonder
where the compiler OF II learned his
arithmetic.
The total of resources is given In the
statement as si7a676. yet there is one
item in the column which is more than
thirty-nines times as large as the sum
given as total, and there are three other
items each greater than the total.
Then in the liabilities the same sum is
given as the total, while one item is
more than forty-one times as large. and
three other items are each larger than
the total
In my practice In figures, which is
rather extensive, l expect total to be
the sum OF ali the items embraced in
the table. but the compiler OF the Water
Boards statement evidently looks upon
total as being only a small fraction
OF the sum of the items.
1t looks to me as II this statement
should be followed by an explanation of
how a total is less than a part

Austra's virtual ultimatum to Servia, demanding
the suppression OF the pan-servian movement and
the assa ssinaton Of Archduke Francis Ferdinand is
not likely to lead war for the issue lies between
a powerful state with great army and consid-
cradle navy and a petty state with comparatively
insignificant land force and virtually navy at all
As between the two powerful parties TO this contro
versy there is no possible question to dominance

ServIa is known to be now under the friendly II not

tests keen in the preservation OF the status
quo in the Balkans, owing 10 that governments
friendship with Russia and distrust Of the Austro-
German coalition.
Every time a conflict between two powers relative
to the Balkan situation Is menaced the speotor Of
general European appears Truth is, the danger
Of such a war is so great that in all probability II
will be some years before IL develops. 1t is not to the
interest individual European powers to permit
a conflict between any OF the larger nations. Too
much is involved in the situation. A general war
would cost tremendously in both lives and treasure
would change the map radically and would shock
civilization TO the center. It is dangerous enough to
allow the smaller states fight, for every minor
conflict In Europe is potential OF general outbreak

Another Political Straw.

Returns specially secured by The Bee from
all but five counties In Nebraska to show the
filings for the principal local offices for which
nominations are to be made In the coming pri-
mary give interesting information about the
present strength OF the bull moosers as a third
party. After the repeated declarations by the
leaders" that complete and independent pro-
gressive party tickets would be placed In the
field in every county. and for every office to be
filled by election in Nebraska this year, the ex-
hibit must certainly be disappointing to them.
In fifty counties not a single bull moose
filing has been made for these offices. In four
teen more counties not more than one or two
bull moosers have filed, In five counties TIL
bull moose local ticket has been filled only by
drafting the republican candidates and filing
them again by petition Including the duplica-
tions, the total number of progressive party fill
ings for the offices mentioned In the table
throughout the entire list OF counties respond
ing in the state is only 1T, while the repub-
licans have 926 and the democrats SEQ
The signal failure OF the bull moosers In Ne
braska to keep up their organization or to
bring out their own third party candidates for
local offices conveys its own meaning.

SCENT OF CLOVER.

Alice e. Allen in Lippincotta
When the days go their ways veiled In
soft midsummer haze,
Scent OF clover waited over from the
fields where cattle Craze,
" axes a riot in the quiet of my hearts
accustomed beat
Oh to follow through the hollow OF the
hills the river fleetl
Like a song, all day long, tripping glad
and free and strong,
In blithe measure bent on pleasure, with
me unseen feet would thrOng;
Love and Laughter follow after; whispers
thrill me with some dream
Long since banished, not quite vanished
from some other life, I would seem.
Day far spent in the scent of the pines
I'd pitch my tent.
Where the murmur-fainter firmer-of the
stream seemed half lament
For that distant pre-existence life: and
far-off stars would glow
With the tender. softened splendor OF dear
eyes ! used to know!

Effect Of the war Cloud on Business.


So closely bound together all the nations of
the world these days of telegraphs cables steam
ships and railroads that any threatened disturbance
of the between nations is felt in every quarter
of the globe the news is flashed over the
wires When the heir-apparent 10 the throne of Aus
ia-Hungary murdered a few weeks
ominous hush fell southeastern Europe. The
world wondered how long It would be before Austria
would demand explanation of servia- Last Thurs
day servan bonds broke badly in the Paris market
and Paris drew $25O0IOOo in gold from New York to
add to the already vast hoard accumulated by the
Bank or France.
All day long while the stock markets open,
no news came out of Vienna Belgrade. The hush
was indeed ominous. Then followed the news that
Austria had demanded an explanation. and on Friday
stock tckers again told the story OF war cloud
darkening the sky along the lower reaches of the
Danube.
SerVIa is weak to resist the armies of Austria,
but behind servia stands Russia and Russia has
given up the dream of Peter the Great to seize
Constantinople and thus the free waterway
from the Black sea into the Mediterranean. The al
lance between Austria and Germany would give the
latter an for entering the fray because Aus
tria would be engaged in with more than one
power. What Germany wants is we'll known In Paris
and London. The weak spot In Germanys line of de-
fense is Holland

SILVER CREEK. Neb,, July 6.-To the
editor Of The Bee For the consideration
of your readers and particularly OF the
delegates TO the democratic and republi-
can state conventions to be held on the
2sth. / wish to submit the following
declaration which, II It could be adopted
by either convention might easily become
a landmark in the political history OF our
country.
THAT a president of the United States
should assume TO be the leader of his
party, and as such alleged leader arrogate
20 himself the right 10 dictate In legis-
lRtive affairs and force his measures
through congress by the use OF his power
as president, as has been done by Presi-
dent Wilson and in a less degree by some
OF his predecessors, is a fragrant abuse
of executive power utterly repugnsnt to
the constitution and the foundation prin-
ciples OF free government. We are
therefore OF the opinion that our next ma
tional convention should formally declare
that the chairman OF the national cen
trail committee should be recognised as
party leader. and take measures to see
that the president, II OF our party, does
not assume or exercise any such powers
OF leadership, but confines himself strictly
within his constitutional limitations"
Under the circumstances IL would per-
haps be expecting too much that the
democratic state convention should adopt
any such declaration, but / can see sew
eral reasons from motives OF policy az
we'll as patriotism why the republicans
should do So Il involves question OF
far more Importance than any considers
tons OF tariff or monetary reform.
