Strategic Value of the Valley.

The sending of radio message to all parts
OF the United States, from the Rock Island ar
senal as a central point ought to be of far greater
service than establishing the possibilities Of
using the amateur wireless operators OF United
States as an adjunct to national defense. It
should emphasize strategic value OF great Mis-
slssippi valley and the importance of its con-
troll in event OF war. Our friends on the sea-
board both east and west have Historically be-
moaned their exposed condition. and we have
been told the vulnerable heart Of the United
States lies within an area along the Atlantic
coast scarcely larger than single western state.
So far as Industrial and financial importance is
concerned. this may be true. but some other
factors must be considered In the solution Of
the problem.
Between the AIeghanies and the Rockies
stretches an empire OF unequalled value, on
whose fecundty all the rest OF the nation must
depend without IT, the United States would
shrink to nothing. This is the Mississippi val
ley, for the possession OF which invading
army might be expected to make the most des-
perate efforts. And Il is wholly exposed.
II must not be taken for granted that strAte-
gists OF foreign nations have given their at
tention solely TO the possibility OF attack on one
or the other OF the seaboards. OF that they look
upon possession OF the factories and banks OF the
country as the key to American conquest This
would credit them with little real military abil-
ity Nor should our eastern friends put too
great stress on their charge that the middle west
! is indifferent TO their conditions. People are
thinking on this side of the mountains as well
as on the other, and the middle west is waking
up TO the situation.

Working out an Army Bill.

Chairman Hay Of the house committee on
military affairs announces the committee has
compromise measure 70 provide for the defense
needs OF the country all ready to report. Only
approximations OF the bills provisions are given
out. so that judgment as TO its efficiency must
be deferred for the time. IL is admitted, how
ever that the continental army plan, advocated
by Secretary Garrison recommendation OF
the War college, is entirely abandoned. and
that the naturalization Of the National Guard
is proposed. Whether this be successfully
carried out is yet to be determined, although
the required legislation is permissible under the
constitution. With the proposed increase in the
regular establishment a steadily increasing re-
serve being provided for. and the new organiza-
ton OF the National Guard. first line force
Of 475.OOO is contemplated. This is quite a
reduction from the 1.250,OOO asked by the
War college.
Two further compromises are ahead of the
measure one with the senate and the other
with the president The house and senate must
dovetail their defense plans, and then the meas
ure must be trimmed up to suit the fancy of
the executive department which means that the
army bill is just entering on its real difficulties
II is suggested the president will submit to the
substitution of state for national militia. No
real occasion exists for worry on this point. Mr..
Wilson would not have allowed Secretary Gar
rison to resign, had he not changed his mind
on the continental army plan. SO far, the ad-
vice OF experienced army men has been aban-
doned altogether for the plans OF the poll
ticians.
The only encouraging sign is that something
is to be done to increase the capacity OF the
nation to defend itself. Further reforms will
be possible in time.

EXETER. Neb.. Feb. A-ro the Editor
OF The Bee: I notice that Richard l.
MetcaIfe IN unwinding several columns
OF news print TO exhibit his sore toe
takes Exeter for one of his horrible ex-
amples. He says:
At Exeter a capable man q fine reputa-
tion was a candidate for the postoftice
II suited the Bryan machine to pick
another man They discovered that the
first candidate occasionally took drink,
although no one claimed that ne MAS Mas
IN any degree drunkard BUT on this
score he was defeated.
Now Mr.. Metcalfe's article is headed,
"a Review OF Nebraska Political His
tory" II the rest Of II is as distorted
as the paragraph referring to Exeter
somebody ought to get out an Injunction

the archives OF Nebraska history. The
little difficulty about the Exeter post
office was settled by an election, the
records OF which can be found in the
Postoffice department at Washington.
The paragraph quoted IL pipe dream
and the dream is not Mr.. Metcaife's but
one which he absorbed second hand. He
should be more careful of the source OF
his Historical" authorities, especially as

curacy, when the subject OF their par

City Lighting Plans and Plants.

That Omaha is again confronted with a po-
litcal campaign may be easily gathered from
the talk about city lighting contracts. munich
pal ownership. and all that goes with them.
Contracts are up In the air. proposals and
counter-proposals are being banded back and
forth. and all sorts of maneuvering s under
way to befuddle and play upon public senti-
ment to gain political advantage regardless of
the public service.
But why should the council ask for propo-
sitions for street lighting from the lighting COM
pany2 Why should not the city decide what II
wants and formulate It's own proposition and In
vite the lighting company or any other COM
pany to say at what cost It will do the work?
II II is believed that the people are ready
for municipal lighting plant. the council now
has all the authority needed to set in motion
the machinery for either acquiring the present
plant, or constructing a new one. All the COM
missioners have to do II sincere. who are pro-
Tossing to favor a municipal light plant. is to
frame and adopt the proper measure and ask
for vote OF popular approval on a bond propo-
sition.
The one chief argument OF every municipal
ownership advocate Is that In no other way can
the public utility service be taken out OF poll
tics. II so, the way to get the question out of
politics is to put it up squarely to the people.
and let them determine what they want TO do.

The Middle West

that the Middle West has what Bageot called

ties were opposed in a special way TO his program
and reminded Kansans of the fighting traditions OF

economic questions OF McKnley's time has the press
spoken often OF the Central states as region
