A Song and It's Writer.

Something OF the romance OF wartime OF
long ago is renewed by the removal OF the ashes
OF Captain Claude Joseph Rouget de Lise TO the
French Pantheon, the Hotel des Invalides in
Paris In fine frenzy OF patriotism, at a time
when France was breaking away from the
archy that followed the revolution and was un-
dergoing the throes that eliminated In the Ma
poleonc empire this young officer OF artillery
broke out in song. Eye Sons OF France, Awake"
About the time he was writing the words that
brought him eternal fame, his comrade at school
and in arms. Napoleon Bonaparte, was training
his guns on the Paris mob and literally shooting
II off the streets. to clear the way for the Direc
tory he later seized for his own.
Not So very long after, under the inspiration
Of the oppression of that same Napoleon,
group of German patriots wrote songs to inspire
their countrymen TO strive for the same freedom
the Frenchman cTaved, and Bluechers volun-
teers sang them as they marched and fought, to
overthrow the military despot of the day. Some
OF these songs are Numbered today by the mil
lions marching under the kaisers command, but
none OF them are known as is that flamboyant
bit Of verse Captain Rouget de Lisle brought
forth while he was waiting at Marseilles the
order to fire ON the armies of the government,
supposed TO represent the people.
'Liberte. egalite, ct fraternite" have taken
many forms In fair France since that time, but
finally the people have come TO rule their own
affairs, and now that France has paid the final
honors to the author OF the inspiration OF patriot
and mob alike, the shade OF de Lisle may Join
with the shades OF Napoleon, Bluecher and 9TH
ers In wondering II their descendants know what

Base Ball and the Public.

Some attention publicly has been called to
the predicament OF the Western League of Pro-
fessional Base Ball Teams, incident TO the expe-
rience OF that organization during the present
season, II has SO far not had the happy expert
ward weather, which has messed up the playing
schedule very materially, and has also held back
the attendance. This organized sport is not
altogether a private concern. for, although the
owners Of the teams have assumed the risks
naturally attendant on their venture the public
is interested TO some extent.
II is necessary that patronage be such as will
provide funds sufficient 70 meet the expenses,
else the league cannot exist Much Of the
club Is due to an effort on part OF the owners to
meet public needs or satisfy public whims.
Spacious parks, magnificently equipped, have
been provided for the comfort OF the patrons,
and other outlay OF capital Is required for the
maintenance OF the plant Popular players are
idolized by the Fans" and this popularity must
be met by the team owner In the way of In
creased salary In order to hold the player his
patrons demand. Many other factors that enter
into the owners problem might be here emu
merated, most OF them items the public does not
consider.
The value OF good ball team TO commu-
nifty has been established. The public is re-
sponsibie In a measure for the Increase In the
expense OF operation, and II should also recog-
nze its partnership with the magnates to the

What Are Thew Up 70 In leorrial


What are they up TO in Georgia with this
new agitation and uprising over alleged plots to
free Leo NJ. Frank Although the man is
quietly serving his term at the state prison farm
to which his death sentence was commuted. we
are told that extra guards have been put on and
the militia ordered to stay in readiness for a
call to Illustrate an attempt 10 liberate him.
Now. the people OF Georgia are not so
ignorant as not to know that no such effort
could be successful. They know enough to
know that Frank out Of prison as a fugitive
would be worse off than where he now is. They
know that he would be extraditable wherever he
might be taken. and they know. too, that such
jail-break would do more than anything else
imaginable to destroy what possible hope he
may cherish of eventual pardon when the
true inwardness of his case is fully uncovered.
To the observer at this distance all this
maneuvering 20 keep popular prejudice excited
in Georgia looks like continuationNof the out
rageous performances which have already so
dscredited that state, and, more than that, like
a deliberate attempt to lay the foundation for.
and to instigate. another murder "a la Madero"
under pretense OF shooting Frank down while
trying to escape. Before the people OF the rest
OF the country, the state OF Georgia Is today as
much on trial as Frank ever was, except that
the Georgia people have the verdict in their own
hands.

Putting II Over on ths senator.


And now we see the Bryanites, merrily raj
lying around the plum tree shouting with glee
over the prospect OF putting over some appoint
ments the senator will not likely assent to. For
example, Brother-in-Law Tom Allen is said to
be certain OF taking down the Job of being
United States attorney for Nebraska. with the
nice, fat salary attached to the place. Let no
one doubt that Allen is shrewd and resource
full politician, as has been made manifest in his
management OF the state campaigns in behalf Of
Mr. Bryan. Ills presence in the honor list will
not promise much for statewide campaign for
reelection Of the sehior senator from Nebraska
Another Bryan worker OF approved quality. A.
g. ribbetts, comes forth as temporary postmas-
ter for Lincoln. and the supporters OF the sena-
tor look on aghast as they see the rush OF the
cohorts of the late premier to gather up the big
places. The matter Is not all settled though.
and there may be some pretty lively skirmishing
yet before all the Jobs are permanently nailed
down.

Bryan and Editors

Boston Transcript: Mr.. Bryan believes
that editors should sign their own edi-
torials, but why give them a prerogative
not always enjoyed even by secretaries
of state7
New York Post: Let's see, is the Mr..
Bryan who demands $500 for a lecture on
peace the same Mr.. Bryan who wants a
law compelling editors TO make affidavit
that they have no financial interest in
any cause they may advocate7
Springfield Republican: Mr.. Bryan
wants to have editors compelled to show
any financial interest they may have IN
policies which they advocate. Would the
probability of enhancing their drawing
power on the chsutauqua circuit be re-
garded as a financial INTEREST,"
Philadelphia Ledger: 1t Is easy to uu-
derstand why Mr., Bryan should hate OBJ
Ecurity and why he should inpute base
motives to those who have no especial
admiration for him. His suggestion Of
law compelling editors to disclose
what pecuniary interest they had in gov
ernnental policies implies his inability
to conceive Of any other motive for crit
icism. As a matter OF fact, no reputable
newspaper. whatever it's own convictions,
hestitates to give both sides g. fair chance
in its pages. Considering the space the
press has given to Mr.. Bryan, 1t is most
ungrateful Of him to insinuate the CON
trary. In sense the newspapers are
already bipartisan. What Mr.. Bryan
really means is that they ought not to
criticise him.

was not sent to you By me. nor did 1

glad YOU have had opportunity TO read
its provisions. II II is advisable for the
United States to assist in securing low

lean republics, It is certainly much more
advisable that the United States aid the
several states In q matter as important
as that OF extensive construction of per-
manent highways i wish you could see
your way clear to endorse the plan 1
suggested and give 1t the support of your
paper.
As indicated in your editorial, the plan
Is not entirely original with me. Great
Britain has somewhat similar plan en-
bodied IN the Irish Land Purchase act,
but In order to give the states an add
tional inducement to take advantage of
the plan, have provided maintenance CO.
operation in addition to the setting aside
Of one-fourth OF the interest as a sinking

tional academy OF highway and bridge
engineering which would be of great aid

Good Idea--DOmestic Animal Zoo.
OMAHA, July Ito the Editor of The
Bee: That's a good idea for Domestic
Animal Zoo even If the idea does come
from Missouri. Just the place for IL
would be in Carter park, inasmuch as
Riverview has the wild animal ZOO and
we would have all the water needed for
ducks and geese and water fowl. We
make lot of fuss about baby bears and
baby buffaloes. but to children. and
grownups, too. calves and colts and baby
pigs are Just as interesting. L would
wager that the domestic animals would
prove as attractive as the wild animals.
