BIGGEST CARGO
SINCE GREAT WAR
STEAMER MELToNION CLEARS
WITH HALF-MILLION-DOLLAR
CARGO OF COTTON.

The clearing of the big English
steamer Meltonian yesterday after
noon by the Strachan Shipping COM
pany for British port, with a cargo
valued at more than a half million
dollars, is the largest shipment made
from this port since the European war
began. The Meltonian came in here
in ballast from Savannah and her
complete cargo was loaded from
Brunswick and she will sail at day
light this morning. Captain Lowe,
her commander, has been to Bruins
wick Several times and before clear
ing yesterday he remarked that he
liked to come to Brunswick, where
our terminal facilities are ample.
The Meltonian carried $4,000 bales
of cotton, 100000 feet of sawn tim
Der and about 625 tons of steel, which
came from the Birmingham district.
She was loaded to her capacity and,
as stated above, the cargo was valued
at more than a half million dollars.

At meeting of the Bar association
Of Brunswick. Ca. at the courthouse
on the goth day Of March, 1915 called
for the purpose. the preamble and res
olutions were adopted by a rising
vote:
Whereas. Honorable Harry Frank
lin DunwOdy, a prominent member Of
the Brunswick bar for years presi-
dent Of the Brunswick Bar associa-
ton. has been suddenly and tragicaliy
called from aife here 10 life eternal,
the victim OF an insane mans delu-
sions the central figure in the saddest
tragedy our city has ever known.
Therefore, we, his brother members of

butte Of love and reverence to the
memory Of this good brother, good

Future of Manufacturing.

Not all OF American energy is now being de-
voted to the manufacture OF war materials, al
though for the present that department Of in
dustrial activity seems to overshadow the more
important and beneficial undertakings that are
going forward. All lines OF industry are renew
ing life, and many that had languished because
OF foreign competition are coming to the front
This is especially true of chemicals, dyes and
some other articles, for the supply of which
America had come to depend on Germany. The
advance in these lines will be more rapid when
very important factor has been decided.
American makers are asking that they be given
some assurance that their investments In new
plants will not be jeopardized by foreign activi-
ties when the war is over. Michigan chemical
company reports It's experience of few years
ago to illustrate this point. II began the ex-
port of bromide, and was informed by German
manufacturers that for every pound OF the
Amercan-made article exported, Germany would
send two pounds to this country. And the
threat was realized; Germany did send the brom-
ide to the United States paid the 25 per cent
duty and undersold che Michigan manufacturers
in the home market. other American firms had
had similar experience, and II is against this
sort OF competition they ask for protection.
Plants for the making of war munitions are
not to be permanently devoted to such uses,
are virtually owned by the government to whose
order they have been built and will only revert
to the American companies at the end of the
war. Until European industry can be reorgan-
lied. the United States will continue heavy ex-
! porter, but when the shops Of the countries now
at war can again be started up, the battle for
industrial supremacy viii be renewed.
Even the democrats are becoming impressed
with the vital necessity of making provisions
for the fostering OF American industries after
the war. but the free trade policy of that party
lie too firmly rooted TO give the manufacturers
the complete assurance OF protection they must
have. The republican party is additionally do
voted TO the building up of home factories, and
will surely meet and solve this problem in the
| only effective way.

Neutrality Ueber allies!

The long delayed Earring Of the federal
patronage plum tree so eagerly awaited by the
Nebraska faithful is at last a fact, disclosing
the president still entrenched in a position Of
neutrality.
The relative strength Of the battle line Of the
belllgerent democratic factions remains un-
changed except by advance Of each side into
ramparts evacuated by republicans.
Here are the political war bulletins; Colonel

ment OF his forces under Brother-in-law

Another Model Town.

Anchorage, the new town that will be the
water-side terminal OF the railroad the federal
government is TO construct in Alaska, is to be
model town. Al least that is the word sent out
from there, under approval OF the officials in
charge OF the project. Just what model IL is to
FOLLOW Is not vouchsafed, other than the inferen-
tial information that 1t will not be the lines OF
early day Alaskan mining camps. Model"
towns are not novelty, nor have they been
uniformly successful. In far-gone antiquity, Il
was the easy practice of conqueror to set the
conquered at work, erecting model" city to
take the place of the one he destroyed, and from
deep buried ruins archaeologists have exhumed
records that give us marvel. In modern times
the experiment has not so often been tried. Con-
stantinus built model city and called II Con-
stantinople. and Gibbon tells us Il fell TO pieces
In a comparatively short time after II was
brought into being. Whether this proves the
fallacy OF the idea or that the builders of that
time were grafters, may be open to speculation.
George NJ Pullman built model city for his
workmen. but later had to give over the idea.
and allow the individuals to have their own way.
Russia founded model city at Port Arthur but
the japanese interference with its full develop
ment. leaves unsettled any question that might
have been attached 10 its future. Uncle Sam
has proved himself In many ways the superior
| OF Nebuchadnezsar. Cyrus. Alexander. Con-
stantinus or any OF that lot of builders. and his
| work Is generally done with more OF real thor
Oughness than that accomplished by Russia 80
Anchorage may yet stand TO the world as an ex-
ample of what may be done by a government
when Il sets out 10 provide model.

Keep the Public Library Oper

OMAHA. July 23.--To the Editor OF The
Bee: | want to commend The Bee for
making a strong protest against the early
Saturday closing of the omaha public
library.
The people who derive the greatest
benefit from the public library are those
who are compelled to work during the
day time and who can only avail them
selves Of its privileges during the even
ing. Closing the library at p. m on
Saturday Will therefore deprive a large
portion of our people of the advantages
OF an Institution which they support lib
orally through taxation.
The citizens of Omaha are proud Of
their well equipped library, which repre-
sents an investment of more than $780,
600, and the taxpayers are deeply inter
ested in seeing that It accomplished the
greatest possible amount of good for the
people.
We have the plant, consisting OF the
building and the books, so why not give
those who are paying the bills every op-
portunity to use It,
Let us hope that the library board
will see the error of the early closing
idea and proceed to keep the library open
as many hours as possible each day. SO
that those who are unable to go 20 the
library during the day time may have
the benefit of the heavy investment made
by the people OF Omaha
