Wars Alarms and Peace.

The beating OF the great war drums in the
halls of congress has raised din that is heard
throughout the land, not by deaf and uninter-
ested ears but by people so busy with the
pursuits OF peace and prosperity that they have
little time and less inclination to attend to the
disturbance. Congressman Gardners assertion
that the United States army Is not big enough
to guard Paris is relatively accurate; the fact
depending on the size OF guard required. The
United States army however, has proved ample
for the work IL has had to do
Americas mission is one OF peace. That II
has made progress is proven by century of
agreement with Great Britain In the practice OF
amicabe settlement OF difficulties arising be-
tween the two nations. In the hundred years
since the treaty OF Client signed some nota-
bic questions have arisen, 10 be followed by
equally notable adjustments. Experience more
than supports the thought OF William Howard
Taft. which led to his submitting to the govern
ments OF the world proposals for the abolition OF
war. thought to which this great nation is
devoted in all sincerity.
The arts of peace offer a wide and most
inviting field for activity for the makers of war
materials as well as the rest OF us. Dynamite
and other high explosives are useful in industry,
and machines for making big guns might con-
ceivabiy be SO modified to produce steam
dredges or sewing machines In any event the
United States was never in less danger of being
involved in war, nor we're our citizens ever more
secure in "lfe liberty. and the pursuit OF hap,
piness."

The Legislature.

With the democrats in full control OF both
houses OF the legislature. we'll the eX-
ecutive branch OF the state government, they
will be rightly held responsible for the perform
ance and net results OF the session just beginning
at Lincoln. While political considerations need
not determine the treatment OF most subjects Of
law-making. the political responsibility is there
and is not to be evaded.
Relying on prediction promises, the people
OF Nebraska will expect, II not a short session,
at least business session. They have been led
to look for a policy OF economy and retrench-
ment in appropriations, and for the legislature
itself to set the example by stopping the waste
and extravaganza with its own train OF super
numersries. They have been led to expect fur
ther that whatever legislation is passed will
have in view stimulating and building up Ne
braska enterprises, and the development OF Ne
braska resources rather than tearing down what
has already been accomplished or putting obsta-
cles in the way OF continued expansion.
It Is know, too much to hope for the
exclusion of all freak and hold-up measures.
The great majority OF the members who mean
ell can II they will put an early quietus on such
proposals. Only by so doing will they hold the
legislature to its real work, and make It use
full instead Of disturbing body.

The Ship Subsidy Bill.

Whatever form the so-called merchant
marine bill may present when II finally emerges
from congress, the fact will remain that in its
conception the democrats have paid recognition

publican party in dealing with the question is
correct is conceded by the democrats when they
adopt the principle matter in what way they
seek to apply Il.

II has been properly safeguarded against the
ruinous competition that has driven American
shipping from the high seas. In the traffic be-

most TO complete extinction. Great Britain

THE DOCTOR.

f. A. Guest in Detroit Free Press
The doctor comes smiling. and he holds
my weary hand.
And says I'll soon get better. and that
soon he'll let me stand;
lie promises the roses to my cheeks shall
come again.
And he laughs away the fever. and he
jokes away the pain.
Through the long. long night I suffer;
weird the dreams that come to me,
Quaint the thoughts that / am thinking,
strange the sights that 1 can see,
But the sunbeams of the morning bring
the doctor UP the stairs
And the heart of me IL lightened OF n
thousand different cares.
There Is courage in the twinkle OF his
kindly smiling eyes,
And before his merry laughter fly "a
thousand fears and sighs
And tho thoughts that have been dreary
change to pleasant ones and gay
When the good old kindly doctor smiles
the doubts and breads away.
For the doctor be comes singing and he
sits beside my bed
And he lifts my weary spirits, as the
pillow lifts my head:
And the fever seems to leave me and the
pains are not severe
And I'm better for his presence, and Tn
stronger for his cheer.
The doctor he is clever. sure and certain
to his skill,
And his people long have praised him
for his work among the i'll;
But it's not his wisdom only. that the
life of us insures
And it's not his pills and tonics. but the
heart of him that cures.
