nemoorata Getting wise.

How interesting to observe the democratic
statesmen at Washington falling back upon re-
publican presidents whenever confronted with
critical emergency. The outbreak of the
European war demanded immediate measures
to safeguard the money market. and instead Of
experimenting with the new reserve bank Is
sues. the republican .Aldrich-Vreeland law was
quickly re-enacted with more liberal provisions
for an output OF emergency currency. And now
in forming a scheme OF war taxes to supplement-
depleted import revenues. the democrats REG
ognize the merits of the measures taken by the
republicans to raise more money during the
spanish-American war, and propose in large
part to relevy the taxes that proved SO success
full then.
Far be It from US TO criticlse the democrats
for admitting their inability to improve ma
teriaily upon what the republicans have done
in like circumstances except by way OF adapta-
ton to changed conditions Before they finish
we would not be in the least surprised to find
our democratic friends ready to support pro-
tectiye tariff to keep a-golng the American In
dustries now being set in motion, which, after
the war, will be exposed to destruction by Euro
pean cheap labor competition unless equalized
by discriminating tariff duties.

No Time to Prey tor Peace.

No Time 10 Fray Tor feaces
OMAHA, Sept 1e.-To the Editor OF The
Bee; In spite OF the presidents appoint
ment OF day OF prayer and Pope Bene-
diets offer OF mediation, cannot regard
this as a proper time to pray for peace
or offer mediation. Kaiser Wilhelm says
he will fight TIL the last man and the
last horse are gone. and Great Britain
says this must be fight TO finish. =
As long as nothing decisive has oc-
CURED. no terms could be agreed upon

war began. The cause that began the
war must continue It iiIi one OF the con-
tending parties Is thoroughly disabled.
The papers are stiu talking about this
eRuseless war, but that Is a pure deluslon.
War must have cause. a. much as any
other catastrophe. and this lie no ex-
oepton. The assassination OF Grand
Duke ferdinand was the occasion. but not

may say to the contrary, is the hsgemony

when Europe could no longer endure
Napoleonism, and the time has arrived
when II can no longer endure militarism.
While neutral governments maintain
an attitude OF friendliness toward both

kaiser. All nations dread him because

Tp.,de Of An Insurance Deal.

SOUTH OMAHA, Sept. 16-To the Ed
Tor OF The Bee: As a policyholder In the
Nebraska Life Insurance company,
want TO give a brief history Of the great
wrong done by our state officials who
constitute the State Insurance commits
sion. There were about 1000 members.
composed OF the poorer classes. who had
no money to bank with the Illinois Mutual
league, that bought out the Nebraska
Mutual My monthly assessment for the
last half OF thirteen years was H.l0. and
the first half far the most prosperous
half, g. Ny policy the first year was
good at death for 800. and increased 800
a year up to g. 500. and At the time Of the
"sell-out' my policy was worth 1850.
The Illinois Mutual league assessment
was Slos5 per month.
Nov. our state officials knew that no
man OF moderate means could stand any
such payment, and being beyond the age

was obliged TO lose all had paid In and
drop out What IL true In my case is
true in the majority OF the 1900 mem
bers. For this reason hope all the mem
bers OF the Life Insurance commission
will be defeated for reelection in Novem-
Der. They claim, so I have heard, that a
majority OF the members were In favor
Of the selI-out. but how-'by proxy" We
all know what this means, and they also
claim that the Nebraska Mutual was
financially in bad shape, and they had
repeatedly admonished the officers Of the
Nebraska Mutual company to call more
assessments to make up the deficit. but
without RESULTS.
Now, I have 5000 OF Modern woodmen
