Craftsmanship.
SOME WHO ARE AspIRANTs


Lincoln, Aug. Especial 1.-The
announcement Of the resignation OF
]. C. McNish as chairman Of the re-
publican state committee was a great
surprise to Lincoln republicans and
at the same time source OF much
regret.
While some OF the candidates for
state Office here had objected to the
committee selecting McNish without
FIRST consulting their wishes, most OF
them had come to the conclusion that
McNish was good choice for the
place and had confidence he would
carry on successful campaitn with
perfect fairness to every man on the
ticket.
The proposition now comes up as
TO a successor to Mr.. McNish. Many
republicans here believe the thing &c
do is to entirely eliminate all aspir.
ants for the committee Offices who
were involved in the disagreements
between Mr.. McNish and Mr.. Sutton
Suggestion Made.
They say the thing to do now Il
TO 20 out into the state and select
man outside Of both Omaha and
Lincoln. Get just as far away IRON
the candidates as possible and start

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
TREES ALONG RoApsIpEs

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
I read with keen interest your edi-
torial day or two ago and the article,
Trees Along the Roadside" and the
idea is admirable. To plant trees along
the highway charms, they refresh the
body and mind, it educates and uplifts
to the things that are beautiful, it re-
fleets on the standards of the people.
The first things the Telegraph should
do would be to start a movement to
preserve the trees now standing along
the highways There are States that
plant and preserve and have added
Wonderfully to the attractiveness of
their roads. No State in the Union
than Pennsylvania. Thousands and
thousands of trees in this State have
been mangled and butchered along oul
roads by the State Highway Depart
ment which would take fiftv years in
some cases to recover.
roads have been placed by the High
way Department in the hands of any
ignoramus that can WELD an AK. Beau
tiful specimens l have seen with limbs
shattered and splintered in way that
nature can not heal, whereas little
would have saved them for generations.
Every limb has relation to the heart
of a tree and If they cannot heal they
decay and it affects the life of the tree
in time and invariably means death to
it, The State Highway Department
pruning or reshaping., A command
should be given by some high authority,
Butchers! Spare those trees"

American Industry

Victor Cambon, a Frenchman, af-
ter three months spent in examining
American industry. exclaims:
"It is one of immensity, of a COM
plete and magnificent whole, absolute
ly Incompatible"
So it is, although our ears are made
weary with tales of the supereff1cient
German and Jap. Because Germany
has made a very few things, including
dyes and chemicals, more successfully
than America, we don sackcloth and
pretend that we are outpointed at
every place.
Not so! Bethlehem can make more
Krupp armor plate than Krupp itself
can make. Du Pont can make more ex-
plosives than any other plant in the
world. :.
United States Steel can fabricate
more steel in year than all the mills
in Japan can produce in two
Pullman can build more cars than
any shop outside the United States.
Baldwin's can construct more locomo-
tives than any factory not in our own
land.
Westinghouse and General Electric
are not equaled in their line by any
other two electrical concerns on earth.
Our three Pennsylvania mills that
make armor for ships can in a year
more than double the best output of
Krupp.
At least two American factories can
beat the rest of the world in building
mobiles.-Gerard in The Public
Ledger.

THE CoLoNEL's DIVISION

wv msnt of s ths fact sePap and ]ah9oaefa a%ost in
secrecy Colonel Roosevelt has
gone about raising a division of 10, 900
men for service in Mexico If war
comes. 1t was not known until yester-
day. after the recruiting had been un-
der way for almost week, that the
Colonel had any such thing in his
mind. OF course it is not to be sup
posed that this division would be
ready for service in few days or even
weeks but with a foundation such as
1t has, based on the old Rough Riders
and men who have been attracted to
the service by the magic name of
Roosevelt, 1t would not be long before
it would be one of the most talked
about units of the army.
Colonel Roosevelt left the naval SER
vice during the Spanish American
war, after he had been largely respon-
sible for the then preparedness of
the navy, to organize the Rough Rid
ers. This regiment made a name for
itself in Cuba, although there is no
doubt that to the Regulars belongs
most of the credit for that campaign.
The Colonel, however. did get to-
gether a remarkable body of men and
he is a born organizer and leader of
courage and ability. He could bring
to such a division as he proposes to
raise contributions of vast sums of
money that would put 1t into f1rst-class
fighting trim so far as equipment goes.
while the men are being hardened in
the training camps. If he is success
full as no doubt he will be, he is well
deserving of the title of Major General
as reward for this service. The rails
ing of an army of 10000 picked men is
no mean task and we'll worth recogni-
ton by the government.

A Railroad Needs Friends

IFrom the Editor and Publisher.1
The New York Central was one of
the first big railroads to return to a
liberal use of newspaper space. after
the slump in railway advertising fol-
lowing the business depression of 1918
and the first effects of the great war,
and through the winter and Spring
this railway has been conducting one
of the most significant, as well as one
of the most interesting advertising
campaigns ever undertaken by an
American railroad. 1t is significant by
reason of its extent, the number of
newspapers used to carry the message
of this great railway system to the
people of the vast territory 1t serves.
But 1t is still more significant in that
1t typifies the newer attitude of Ameri-
can railroads toward their public
toward the people specifically with
whom they have to live and do business
|-typifies the newer land immensely
better) public policy of friendliness,
good will. o-operation--in short. the
policy of mutual helpfulness, honesty,
and fair dealing.
Primarily this advertising campaign
of the New York Central Is q campaign
to win public good will

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING

Sns S0ons of the Of Ad 'Ds SuSs ssso oft
the world at Philadelphia to-
day one of the most unique gatherings
in the history of the country passes
into history. Advertising has become
the life blood of the nation, and it is
no longer regarded as something
which is open to argument. Success
full merchants and others do not stop
to discuss the necessity of publicity in
their business; they only consider the
! size of their appropriations and the
quality of their advertising. More and
more the need of intelligent newspaper
advertising is recognized wherever
success in business is desired.
These organizations of high-class
advertising people are doing much to
extend the propaganda of legitimate
publicity. People who buy as we'll as
those who sell understand now as
never before how important a medium
is the newspaper in bringing the two
classes together. While supply and
demand are still fundamental factors
IN all LFdue 1t is just as true tnat there
must be getting together of the buyer
and the sellec. This is the function
of the newspaper.
A remarkable transformation has
taken place during recent years in the
advertising columns of the Telegraph
and all other modern newspapers.
Time was when the average merchant
imagined that his talks to the people
could be just as well prepared by the
office boy as any other employe, but all
this has changed in the last few years
and some of the most original and able
men are now engaged in preparing ad-
vertising copy throughout the country.
Also, the evening home newspaper is
now regarded as the best medium
through which the wares that are to
be sold may be brought to the atten-
tion of the household.
The convention in Philadelphia has
done a mighty work in calling atten-
ton to the Importance of intelligent
and attractive advertising.

Languages and Commerce

[From the Philadelphia Public LEDGER
Though we are passing through the
commencement period while all sorts of
trade problems are being bruited and
all sorts of advice given, there has
been no loud outcry that our CONNER
cial high schools and our engineering
courses in our technical schools and
colleges should at once respond to the
language problem in anticipation of
the world trade that should be ours
after the war. On the contrary, we are
almost mum on one of the most vital
issues now confronting US as to some
of the basic things that should be done
if we are to develop a group of men
able to divert and to hold the trade
of the countries of the Western Hemi-
sphere that ought to come this way.
But it is quite otherwise in Germany.
There is no allusion over there as to
where mastery begins. For years Ger
many has been educating it's traders in
the languages of the people with whom
they trade, and now 1t is going to bet
ter it's own great record. For. after
the war, not only will English and
French be compulsory. as now, with
other, Languages such as Spanish op-
tional, but other useful languages"
will be made compulsory, and a scheme
has been proposed which will include
the living Oriental languages in the
curriculum. Compared with this fore
thought, our methods of advancing our
trade are mere child's play. When will
we really wake up?

Hughes to the Colonel
Baltimore American.)

Baltimore American.)
Mr. Hughes in his letter to the for
mer Republican president whose long
letter of Endorsement of the Republi-
can candidate has brought about the
union of the Republican and Progress
sive parties, employed the language
of sincerity and of due appreciation
of the personality and ideals of Mr..
Roosevelt as thoroughly in harmony
with the American spirit.
The conjunction of the two parties
could not be upon a more fortunate
footing, as it is that of patriotism.
The weld of the American ideal has
brought together in indissoluble un-
ion the parties and henceforth the Re-
publican party will stand forth as
the party of eminent patriotic service
and capability.
Let us work together for our ma
tional security and for the peace of
righteousness and justice-such are
the words of Mr.. Hughes in his salu-
tation to the man who has returned
with all his force and effectiveness to
the Republican party.

way through every difficulty, so that,
finally, $500 reinforcements reached
General Scott.
The Advance Upon the City of Mexico
The negotiations of Mr.. Trist hav-
ing failed, on the 9TH of August, 1S47,
Scott issued orders for an advance on
the capital, 80 miles distant. The
army, now 10,700 strong, moved in
four divisions commanded respectively
by Twiggs, Quitman, Worth and Pill
low. Colonel Childs was left to gar
rison Puebla with 5000 men, but two
thirds of that number were in the
hospital. The whole record of the
Mexican war, from beginning to end.
was sad history of sanitary and
medical unpreparedness and ineffi-
cheney Some specific illustrations of
this will be given when | come to
speak of the Cameron Guards" who
went from our own community. More
brave young men died in Mexico from
disease than from the bullets of the
enemy, and the greater part of this
mortality was the result of the grossest
carelessness and objectionable lack of
ordinary sanitary precautions.

HOME TRAINING

NOTHING has aroused so much
IN discussion among thoughtful
people in this community as the
persistent destruction of the light
globes along the River Front and the
disposition everywhere to destroy
plants and flowers and things which
make the city attractive. There is a
fault somewhere and it is up to the
parents and guardians of the city to
ferret out the cause and apply the rem
edy 1t might be a good thing for the
school authorities to provide some de-
finite and practical instruction along
these lines so that the children may
learn that these things are not made
to be destroyed. The child mind re-
sponds readily to a proper appeal and
we believe that training at home and
in the schools-secular and Sunday
will do much to correct this tendency
to destroy.

What 7. r. Means
IN. Y. Sun.


They put a low estimate on Colonel
Roosevelt's patriotism who treat his
statement of yesterday as a graceful
political valedictory. In declining to
lead a hopeless and foolish third
party movement and in advising his
friends to vote for Mr.. Hughes and
thus end Mr.. Wilson's maladministra-
tion of national affairs Colonel Roose-
velt is not taking his shoulder from
the wheel. We do not believe that
while he lives and enjoys the health
that all Americans join in wishing
him the Colonel, efficient person as
he is, is capable of terminating by
inaction the chapter in history which
is to preserve the memory of his
honorable deeds.

will strongly support Mr.. Hughes" +"
and earnestly bespeaks from his fell

support of Mr.. Hughes for the sake

War on MOSQUITOES
from the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post
The season now opening is to be
marked by the extensive and vigorous
prosecution OF the warfare of the State
of New Jersey upon the bIood-thirsty
MOSQUITO. 1t is an oIu story of, the
frightfulness has deded control.
Such local and inadequate measures
of suppression as have been under
taken by State authority are not suf-
ficient. and this year five adjoining
counties propose to combine for protec-
ton. These counties cover an area of
1.154 square miles. of which some 81
900 acres are salt marsh; and they have
already appropriated S153,000 to pre-
vent the breeding of the insects. This,
distributed according to population,
would amount to a mosquito tax of ten
cents a poll.
No one can say that this would be
oppressive, taxation. but it remains To
be seen whether 1t will meet the cost
of the actual work of determination. I"
IF it shall prove effective, the measures
of protection for which II pays may be
recommended to communities here
abouts where the plague is not so
awful as in the salt marsh region of
New Jersey, but yet annoying.
