original article in The Bee, July 25 1914,
on "suffragism Gripped by Feminlsm"
The historical advance on the now Ia
booed old-style suffragism plainly lies be-
fore us. suffragism passes into femin-
ism. Masses Of sane, clever-headed
American women" not only do not root
out the feminists, they elect them TO

The Primary in Douglas County.

While returns on the primary election have
been much delayed. the outcome in Douglas
county is definitely indicated. Here the leaders
for standard-bearer on the opposing tickets are
Governor Morehead and Mr.. Howell, respectively,
and, the momentum OF their following has car
ried with them most OF the candidates linked up
with them. Mr.. Howell has right to be par
ticuarly self-satisfled over his showing in his
home county. On the republican side II is inter-
esting to note that despite loud cutlery about
machine" the only machine that was fully
manned, and in successful working order was
the "Fontenelle machine on which Mr.. Howell
rode and that on the democratic side the terri
flying "Dahlman machine" seems to have slipped
several cogs. The distractions OF war will, we
take IT, kindly come to the rescue to provide
lull in the political strife until the lines
formed for the subsequent campaign that will
end only with the onslaught at the polls in No
vember. In the meanwhile, for the outcome in
the state as a whole, patience will be required
until the conclusive fuller returns are in.

Another siae-Up of the Fray.

ARLINGTON. Neb.. Aug 1s.-To the
Editor of The Bee: The present war will
go down into history as the War Of the
Nations.
1t seems to have started over a small
affair and Is likened to a kettle of water
on a fire where every stick OF wood made
1t hotter until it boiled over. So with the
European countries, each nation steps in
until the crisis has arrived
Il seems as though the kaiser of Ger
many could have settled the controversy
without war, but no doubt thought he
could defeat Russia and humlllate France
soon, but really did not figure on England
getting into the fray
1t seems to me that Germany is in the
same position France was in 1s0e-1sl5 when
the powers were against Ter and she was
crushed.
Now, in century from then, the same
great nations are engaged in a great war
on almost the same ground that Waterloo
was fought on. War is awful and we all
hope this will be the last one.

OF The Bee: The war has put in our

take Il we will never again have the OPP
portunity. -Four thousand million dollars
is the prize. Today Japan buys our raw
cotton. She manufacturers It and sends
II back into the United states and sells II

facturers can produce IL. Why? Because
she pays ~ cents TO "A cents a day for the
best skilled labor in the world, and they
work sixteen hours a day. China means
to do the same thing Ten years win see
Japan and China owning the manufac-
tured cotton trade Of the world.
How can we get II. Put an export duty
Of $50 on every bale OF cotton going out
of the United States. This will start the
erection OF a cotton mill in every town

by this war will change these conditions

AM Exhibition Of Deem Value.

The value of the annual tractor demonstra-
ton at Fremont lies not alone in the display OF
modern farming machinery, but also in the en-
phasis laid scientific agriculture in which
Nebraska has taken prominent position. II is
we'll in this very practical manner to keep be-
fore our farmers the importance of modern in
tensive methods. No state holds out richer re-
wards for the proper cultivation OF the soil and
care of crops II is gratifying that these trac-
tor demonstrations are gradually drawing larger
and larger crowds. which means larger interest,
and yet there is room for greater extension. 1t
will be better yet when such exhibitions become
still more popular over the state and at the
same time diversity their lines OF instruction.
The real object, as the Fremont exhibition sug-
gests, lies much deeper than mere show.

Government Inspector Finds %
I Craft at Clinton Not Com
plying With Law.

Lieutenant Pine, who was here a
few days ago in a government revenue
cutter beginning an inspection trip on
the Mississippi river found % launches
at Clinton which we're not equipped
in accordance with the requirements OF
the navigation laws.
The officer told the boatmen that
he was simply on an instruction trip
this time, but next time he comes his
mission will be to prosecute offenders
against the naval regulations and fines
OF from 800 to $500 will be imposed
II is probable that few will take the
chance OF having a fine Of 500 or so
slapped upon them the next time the
officer arrives. So there will be a
scramble during the next few weeks
TO equip the launches in accordance
with the requirements OF the naval de-
partment.
The officer left literature and in
structions for the boatmen. Launches
are divided into three classes: Less
than 20 feet. &c to 40 feet. and 40 to 60
feet The class one or smaller boats
must have a white light aft to show
all around the horizon: a combined
lantern in the fore part showing green
and red. starboard and port. so fixed as
TO throw the light from right ahead to
two points aft the beam OF their re-
spectiye sides.
Boats of the other two classes shall
have a bright light in the fore. a white
light aft TO show all around the hori-
zon. green light on starboard and red
on port side. The sizes OF these lights
is defined in the circular left by the
officer. Life preservers and Iifebelts
are demanded in all craft. also fire.

Suit for Half of the

BROTHER IN SETTLEMENT
AnnuIment Of Adoption by Late New

Fortune.

New York. June 13-Lengthy liti-

ter receiving $4,000 from her broth
er, William Ziegler. Jr., adopted son OF
the millionaire baking powder manu-
facturer, It was announced by young

Element of the case came about in the
following way. the attorneys state:

father had stated that If Mr.. Ziegler's
sister. Florence. graduated from the
school she was attending in Davenport,
Iowa, with honor he would give her
the sum of $25O.000-
Did Graduate With Honor.
Mr.. Ziegler's sister did graduate
with honor. but this occurred after the
death OF his father; and Upon Mr..
ZiegIer receiving the information he
gave the aforesaid sum of $25O,OOO,
with interest, amounting IN all to 1885,
900. to his sister, and thereupon she
dropped all the litigation which she
had instituted against him"
The order Of discontinuance of Miss
Brandt's suit for $25O,00O has been
fled in the supreme court, IT was stat
ed. Prior TO bringing this action Miss
Brandt brought suit to annul the abro-
cation of her adoption by the late Mr..
Ziegler, but the Surrogate's court de-
cided against her and was sustained
by the court OF appeals.
Asked Half Of Estate.
In this suit Miss Brandt asked for a
half interest in the S15.000,000 estate.
Plaintiff and defendant were the
children of George Brandt, half broth
er of Mr.. Zeigler. After~iheir adoption

in a suit to have his daughters adop-
ton set aside. Young Ziegler inner
