OMAHA. Oct, 2.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: promised to send you these old
lines of Mother Symptoms prophecy for
the benefit of many who have never
read or heard of them. The lines were
first published in England in 1885, before
the discovery OF America and before any
Of the discoveries and inventions
mentioned therein. All the events have
come to pass which she predicted, except
the last two lines.
Carriages without horses shall go
And accidents fill the world with woe;
Around the world thought shall fly
1r the twlnklng Of an eye.
Waters shall wonders do,
Now strange, yet shall be true,
The world upside down shall be;
And gold be found at root of tree,
Through hills man shall ride
And no horse or ass be at his side.
Under water man shan walk
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk,
In the air men shalt be seen
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float
AS easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found mid stone
In land that's now unknown.
Fire and water shall wonders do.
England shall at last admit jew
And this world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.

Look as though we'd come to bid you
A last fearful, sad goodbye!

And we'll grow anywhere.
Since in your might you have decreed
That all our race must die

So send your hosts against US,
Just send 'em right along.
Wen fight for every foot OF ground
A hundred million strong
You may try to break our spirit,
But you'll buck against fence
That will make the German army
Look like twenty-seven cents.
We've done no harm TO you or yours,
We're cheerful, bright and free;
We beautify your lawns, ana 30
You ought to let us be
Till the water questions settled,
And the street car service good,
And votes for women keep the nation
Running as 1t should,
TIL the trusts are regulated,
And the last poor fly Is dead.
Then you can spend your mighty wrath
Upon our humble head.
But Just a word in parting:
We were here before you came,
And men have come and men have gono
We go on just the same.
And when upon this glorious earth
Your brilliant course Is run,

A Commitment to Omaha.

The reelection OF John }. Ryder as presi-
dent of the American League OF Municipalities
for third term, is a compliment to Omaha, as
we'll as to Its official representative. The
League OF American Municipalities is the ma
tional clearing house OF all the important cities
OF the country. Giving Omaha the headship OF
this organization for three terms in succession
is an exceptional recognition, which our people
should appreciate as a tribute both to the eity's
good standing abroad. and TO its success in

Liko to ne Humhurred.

SOUTH OMAHA, Oct. 2--To the Editor
Of The Bee. The great Snowman, p. T.
Barnum, said the American people like
TO be humbugged and from the way some
people follow the greatest political hum
bug this country ever produced, and the
humbug teachings OF Roosevelt, 1t shows
that Barnum was not far off in his state
ment.
BY the work OF this great political
humbug we today have a minority presi-
dent who lacked more than one million
votes of securing a majority Of votes
cast for president in 1912, and one million
republicans did not vote. Then an even
100 members Of the present congress did
not have majority Of the votes cast
for congressman in their districts BY
the work Of spite the will Of the great
majority of the people of the United
States has been thwarted and may be
that way until q law is passed requiring
candidate to have majority of all
votes cast before he can take the place
that he is a candidate for.
As Governor William t. Haines of Maine
wrote me a few days ago. "pluralities are
mighty doubtful and it is a great weak
ness to have a system of government
which permits a few people thwarting the
will Of the majority by a third party
trick. such as was practlced In our recent
election"
Roosevelt knows his progressive" party
Is too dead to skin. vet he stili wants
to continue to beat the party that made
him, by having spite candidates run in
all places where he thinks they will Sc
cure enough votes to defeat republican
candidates.
Had the republican party remained in
power, there would be no need Of war
tax today. The war in Europe has dis
traoted the attention of our people from
the failures and shortcomings of the
Omaha daily bee., 1914-10-03

democratic party. which never has and
never will run this country successfully
Had there been no war, war tax
would have been resorted to by the demo-
cratic party just the same, and they could
not have hidden behind the war screen
as they can do this year
am in favor OF a law requiring all can
didates either for nomination or election
70 be nominated or elected by a majority
vote. II candidates for governor or
congress do not secure the required ma
iority at the fret election, drop all can
didates but the two highest. and take an
other vote. 1t Is time minority rule was
dispensed with. F. A. AGNEW.

Concerninw Poland.


OMAHA, Oct. ITO the Editor of The
Bee: Several days ago you were kind
enough to print one of my articles en-
titled Poland" Since then l have re-
ceived several telephone messages and
letters from Polish people, complimenting
me upon my efforts. TRY TO please all
and you can please none" This was never
so forcibly brought home until 1 read a
letter utterly devoid of all connection and
sense from some one whom / judge, from
what little can make out Of the mud
died remarks, wishes to pass for Ger
man Pole.
As the writer has not moral courage
enough to sign his name, l find myself
compelled to answer his disjointed, dis
connected, rambling letter through the
Letter Box.
He informs me that the Poles are heart
and soul with the Germans. Mr.. Anonys
nous, permit me to inform you that 1t
matters little to me where the sympathy
OF the Poles rest. / made no mention Of
their feelings toward either Russia, Ger
many or Austria. simply stated, and will
restate, that autonomy means freedom
for the Poles" and that no matter how
the war may terminate 1t will not have
been in vain II it reunites the Polish ma
ton
The letter tells me that the Germans
were the only ones to give education to
the Poles Beyond that IL is a mere tum-
BILE Of names into which is interpolated a
few hints about the place OF punishment,
If the letter received is an example of
that education, then all efforts in that
line are useless.
The Germans are famed for their great
educational system and am we'll enough
acquainted with them to know they would
never stoop so low as to teach people to
write cowaraly, base and punslllanimous
letters, such as the one addressed to me.

/ have not space for anything like a full descrp-

work; but must say a few words at least about the
transportation the wounded from the field to the
frstad stations and from the latter to the field hos
pitfalls In Cuba relied upon four-wheeled ambu-
lances, but they did not to me in. any way
satisfactory. When half dozen more wounded
men were picked up the jungle for transportation to
single field hospital they suffered unnecessarily
from the inevitable Joltlng Of heavy vehicle over
bad road. Most OF the brooks in the vicinity OF
Santiago unabridged. and through channels
that were far below the road level. The descent to
them was often steep and when ambulance pitched
suddenly down into one, ali the wounded-men with
laceated bodies and shattered bonesslid down into
q great heap OF agony at the front end. Then. when
tho mules rushed at the ascent the other SIDE the
front end of the vehicle suddenly tilted upward,
and all the men precipitated into struggling
heap at the back end. This struck barbarous
way Of carrying who were desperately hurt, and
whose powers of endurance had been broken by long
hours Of suffering the battlefield. Whether the
Japanese had any such ambulances or not do not
certainly know. 1 across one l saw
thousands OF wounded men brought back from the
front at Port Arthur but every one without excep-
ton, was carried carefully by two bearers In a
stretcher. 1t made no difference whether the dis
lance was short or long-it often many miles

The u. N. d. has been playing a
very varied type of basketball, win
ming or losing when least expected.
