Something for Omaha 10 Go After.

Now that the rural credits bill has passed
congress, why doesn't Omaha hop in and
cop one OF the new landbanks2 Nebraska
IS entitled 10 one OF these land-banks, as il
is one OF the greatest farming states in the
union, ard Omaha is the logical place to
put the bank.-Franklin News
This is pertinent question and also the cor
rect answer. BY all the tests Of geography, &C
cessibility, business and banking facilities Omaha
should have had the location OF the Federal Re-
serve bank that went TO Kansas City in con-
sequence OF its superior political pull" with the
democratic powers that be. II is possible that
possession Of the reserve bank constitutes an ad-
vantage for Kansas City in competing for the
rural credits headquarters, but that is no bar to
Omaha going after il and only an added reason
why we should go after It harder Although
Omaha has not, VIC must confess Jared specially
well in securing recognition from the present
democratic administration, We ought to be able
to command attention strictly on the merits Of
our claim.

ting proper attention. So far no standard has
been set for the character Of road that is to be
built Some thought has been given this point,
but no definite action has been taken to secure
the uniformity OF construction that Is vitality

must come in time for Nebraska one OF the high

Each county, each township and each community
has It's own ideas as to what is good to do, but
quite wide range Of variation exists between
these separate plans Until they arc co-ord-

What Chance for Arbitration Z

Benson, Neb., May 2S.--To the Editor Of
The Beet seems almost incredible TO be-
lieve that people who are supposed TO be
well posted on international affairs are so
simple as TO take notice Of peace rumors.
The German violation Of Belgsum's neutral
ity was direct blow at the British lions
bread basket and started the lions tail
wagging to such an extent that the COM
bined influential power of the neutral coun-
tries of the world cannot stop IL. The WIN
son administration killed It's influence in
England when II neglected TO protest
against the violation of Belgium's neutral
ity and also when it submitted to the con-
tention that submarines had a legal right
to act as commerce raiders, as a result hum
dreds Of non-combatants have been saugh-
tered. Great Britain's dependence on neu-
trail countries for the necessities Of life has
hamstringed the British navy, but this
handicap is gradually being overcome and
will be accomplished in due time, as a result
British naval power will be used to the
maximum legal limits. People who think
the German fleet will not be forced by
economic stringency TO come out and fight.
do not realize the tenacty Of the British
lion. Nelson waited two years at Toulon.

What IL the Nature OF Republiesnism
Omaha, May 27.--To the Editor Of The
Bee.--I clipped the enclosed letter from
the New York Times, written by Otto 7.
Barnard, delegate 10 the republican national
convention, to an anti-Roosevelt republican
In bis district defining his own position,
which is said 10 be that Of most New York
organization republicans
II have your letter Of yesterday stating
your strong opposition TO the nomination
Of Roosevelt and asking me my views be-
cause / am a delegate TO the republican ma
tionaI convention from your district.
Il cannot conceive of republican conven-
tion selecting as It's candidate for president
a member Of n different political party,
either democrat or progressive.
"The mere statement Of the proposition
should defeat II and If the republican party
should admit there was no one In It's party
worthy Of the nomination II could not hope
for, nor could II meet success. Such a
transplanted 'outlander candidate would be
beaten before the hot weather was over.
Nor could any republican be Justly criticised
for openly opposing this exotic.
"A republican who voted for Wilson would
not be deserting his party; his party would
have deserted him. Yours faithfully, Otto

In pelen,e of MothsrIs PIe.

Omaha, May 2s.--To the Editor Of The
Bee.-Mrs. Sarah T. Rorer, advertised Is
the worlds greatest dietian. says that the
bread and pies that mother used 10 make
are so dangerous to health that she wouldn't
eat piece Of IL for a dollar, but she fails
10 explain just what kind Of cooking she
subslsted on when girl. Perhaps she was
an expert on cooking when an infant and
dictated the menu Of the family.
The world IL getting better morally. mem
tally and physically. and in most American
homes have been doing 80 on the good old
fashioned cooking But out Of this Wild
erness Of Erroneous dieting" she comes with
the beacon Of reseue--her cook book--to
lead US into the path Of light. Why doesn't
she be honest with her audience and tell
them that common sense, coupled with mod
GRAFTON in eating is the secret Of health
She must have visited a majority Of Amer
lean homes In order 70 learn that we could
not cook and that we had such atrocious
table manners Mrs. Rorer probably visited
one American home where the housewife
was unable 10 cook. and instantly drew the
conclusion that the same shortcomng was
characteristics Of the whole nation, and be-
cause she saw one German housewife who
could cook necessarily thought all Germans
were exceptionally good cooks And like
wise because she sees few "butterflies'
flittering about the street, instantly be-
comes imbued with the idea that all woman
kind are going 20 rack and ruin over clothes.
Mrs. ROrer also seems 10 be Mortified at
the thought Of the laborer e8pendinR the
whole of his ~ q week to feed family Of
six, and this surprise In the face Of the
fact that tho cost Of living Is constantly
inereasingi Evidently the food revolution
ia would recommend hardtack and water,
The fact that her audience has dwindled
from $50 10 fifty Is pretty good evidence
that Omaha women do not care 10 spend
their time listening TO the advocate Of a
cook book that teaches how 10 starve
large family with healthy sppetites on 81
a week. II Ia just such q brand Of talk
that siekens men against woman suffrage.
She must have no fear about women ap-
preciatlng the ballot, for | believe that the
majority would not use II as Mrs. Rorer,
but would vote with average intelligence.

Labor's Program for Peace and War.

Samuel Gompers, addressing the convention
of the League TO Enforce Peace, outlines the
position Of organized labor Of America on the
question Of war. II is almost wholly contained
in the proposition that the war must be de-
fensive. and that the people must have voice
in its declaration. This is quite in oonsonanee

pie War Is not made by hereditary rulers or
privileged classes, in the United States War

To SURVEY land
At LAUP AHOEHOE
FOR HOMESTEADS

Arrangements are being made in
the territorial survey office by Sur.
yeyor-general Walter E. Wall for
sending big field party to Hawaii
some time before the middle of the
month, with instructions to survey
land at Laupahoehoe.
: A total or approximately 1900 acres

which land is at present in cane, and
which cannot be used for homestead
ing until the crop is removed in about
a year. ..... -. ..-:s
Mr.. Wall will make the survey at
the request of the land office, which

LOCAL COMPANY
INVITED IOB|D
With MAINLAND

Honolulu has been asked to enter into
competition with the mainland for an
important order for mine equipment.
The offer came to the Honolulu Iron
Works Company from the Mineral
Products Company, and while a bid
was put in 1t was not with any great
expectation of securing the contract,
for the bid was so made as not to in
terfere with the filling of. orders for
local concerns. especially for the plan
tations.
When. the Honolulu Iron Works
Company was asked to bid on Mineral
Products equipment Il first investi.
gated to ascertain what material it
had on hand It was found that while
there was a considerable amount it
might affect the filling Of local orders,
especially II these should be urgent
and important In bidding, therefore,
the company took into consideration
the time which it would require to
bring material here as we'll as cost
of transportation. A later date was
set for delivery than might easily have
been named had not the interests of
those customers who had made pos.
sible the building up of the local iron
industry been considered.
Advices wire received today that a
mainland concern could complete the
contract more expeditiously than the
local house had undertaken to do.
