President Wilson's Acceptance.

President Wilson's speech OF acceptance, de-
lvered at Shadow Lawn, is notable for the care
evidently bestowed upon its preparation. -Four
years Of experience as a candidate has qualified
him as an expert dodger, and his ability to gloss
over defects, to avoid definite statements and to
magnify generalities was never better exhibited
than in this formal announcement Of his desire
for reelection. Unfortunate attempts to assume
positive position on vital questions have taught
him caution in expression, if nothing else. Most
OF his speech is given up to asserting that his
administration has been ideal in its accomplish
ments, and no effort is made to meet specific crit
icism Of its shortcomings.
For the Underwood tariff measure the pres-
dent still claims it is the nearest approach to per-
fection yet attained but the people will not have
forgotten conditions that prevailed in the United
States during the first two years Of the Wilson.
regime. Fictitious prosperity, based on war cr-
ders, will not eface recollections Of the bread
line, nor will the present high prices convince
any that the democratic pledge OF lower cost OF
living was redeemed by the free trade tariff law.
The emancipation Of business" so generously
boasted Of, is yet to be achieved. Until normal
conditions have been restored, the real workings
OF the new banking law cannot De Bauged, ana
II is certainly too for the president to declare
that the land bank bill has given the farmer all
the relief needed. Some close students, more fa-
mar with the real problem than Mr.. Wilson,
have expressed the opinion that the law does not
reach the spot at all.
The merchant marine has been revived by
admitting foregn-but ships to American regis
try, by repeating the exemption of American
coastwise traffic from Panama canal tolls at be-
hest Of European nations, and by proposal to
admit forcign-built ships to the American coast
wise trade. This is aid indeed
Mr.. Wilson defends his Mexican blunders by
repeating the platitudes he has made familiar. He
supports his European policy by asserting his
duty to protect American rights everywhere, and
excuses his neglect to enforce this policy in
Mexico by pleading for the revolutionists. He
admits the loss Of life is irreparable but consoles
sorrowing relatives with the assurance that he,
too is very sorry that Americans have been mur-
dered In Mexico. But he insists he will maintain
his course as long as he has anything to say
about what the United States will do.
To the St. Louis platform he subscribes, just
as he did to the Baltimore platform. This, he
says, "is definite pledge, practical program.
We have proved that our promises are
to be kept" And the leading plank Of the Balti-
more platform was that its candidate stood
pledged to one-term presidency

A little lesson for Americans may be found
in the dedication Of the Lincoln Memorial at his
birthplace. 1t will stand forever, shrine Of pa
triotism and liberty, to which lovers and we'll
wishers Of the race may turn for inspiration, and
as such will be source of real pride for ali
Americans. II has been preserved from abso-
lutte neglect and destruction. not by the interest
Of an united and grateful country, but by the eff
fort Of private citizen. Americans are hero
worshipers, and cling to the memory Of their
great leaders with fondness and respect, but
neglect the more tangible things that should
stand as reminders As we'll as mementoes of the
canonized champion Of human rights Some ex-
cuse may be made for this, but Il Is mainly due
to the national habit Of neglect, to our propen-
sity for commencing new task before we have
completely finished the one in hand. It is not
at all creditable to US that the monuments to
our great men mostly have been prepared and
established by private enterprise and that some
scandal attaches to what should be the most
sacred OF them all because we still allow 1t to be
held BY an association that Is not under govern
ment control. The dedication Of the Lincoln
memorial may serve to stimulate public interest
to degree that will eventually bring other simi-
lar places under national protection II it does
it will be filing double service.

Dormi.ories for tn. State University.

Advance notice is sent out from Lincoln that
students who attend the University OF Nebraska
are meeting difficulty in finding rooms for the
winter. This is not a novel experience, but is
rather an ever present condition. Ii will be ac-
'centuated this year, because more students than
ever will register for work at the great state
school, and the boarding houses will be taxed
to their limit to provide for the young folks The
regents may well consider the situation of these
boys and girls many Of them away from home
for the first time, and debate whether the state
does not owe to them some duty now neglected.
Better accommodations should be provided for
the students. Well designed and carefully main.
tanned dormitories. with dining hall, would
meet what has come to be serious phase OF
the university life. Board and lodging is the
greatest item of expense in connection with the
university course. and any action OF the author-
ties tending to lessen it, or to provide greater
accommodations for housing and feeding the stu
dents, ought to prove popular move. Such
dormitories arc even now supplied for the girl
students attending the school OF agriculture and
the difference between the farm campus and the
down town campus is nominal only II is well
worth investigation at any rate

Trains on Schedule Time"

With traffic moving normally, and all trains
on schedule time, the country seems safely past
grave industrial crisis. Such disturbance of
business as was experienced due to the uncer-
tainty Of last week may easily be adjusted, and
the steady flow Of commerce proceed without in
terruption. The railroad men still have their
problem to solve, but are not required to meet it
Immediately. The law is not effective until Jam
uary !, next allowing three months Of time for
the arrangements that must be made. What
counsel will be taken by the men who are
most concerned in the meantime should not be
anticipated. Future negotiations will be ap-
preached from new angle, and what action may
be determined upon will necessarily be based
upon different conditions What the public is
most concerned in is the continual operation Of
trains on schedule time. To this end 1t will be
to the interest Of both men and managers to CO.
operate. Adjustment Of distractions must be
secondary considerations.
Omaha daily bee., 1916-09-05

Oxford, Neb., Sept. Ito the Edi-
tor of The Bee: Your editorial
charges equal unreasonableness to the
managers and the trainmen of our
railroads in their efforts to avoid a
strike. You also say that IL the
strike comes the public will hold both
sides guilty of ignoring public rights.
AS one lone member Of the general
public who realizes what this strike
will mean, and who will suffer to the
limit II 1t does come, / must take ex-
ceptions to both statements. l think
the general public has intelligence
enough to grasp the true meaning Of
the trainmen's demands and their
their desires. l believe the general
public Is possessed with fairness
enough to admit that the road man.
ayers in offering to submit the wage
controversy to the same commission
for settlement that Is clothed with
power to adjust freight and passenger
rates have shown willingness that
the public interests be safeguarded
even though their profits are lessened.
On the other hand the trainmen
have shown a total disregard of the
public interests and perfect willing
ness that the great farming and man.
ufacturing interests which has given
them a living condition beyond that OF
any other country on the civilized globe
should be paralyzed II only their sell
flsh demands can be attained. But
the general public should sit up and
take notice that the president, who
was elected to execute laws, not to
make them, has In nowise helped the
situation by trying to make politi-
cal capital out Of the threatened strike.
Who elected Mr.. Wilson czar, to die
tate how many hours should constitute
q days work for any class of wage
earners? BY the same gall that he
ordered Huerta to 'abdicate the presi-
dency Of Mexico he proposed to force
the railroad managers to accept his
view Of what should constitute dy's
work.
The farmers who labor twelve hours
without any pay for overtime are the
ones who will have to foot the bill
IL the unreasonable demands of the
trainmen are granted. Are they will
ing to accept the statement Of the
president that his edict is backed by
public opinion and shall be made
the law of the land, no matter what
the outcome Of the strike may be? Our
constitution and lws are in every way
fair to the wage -earners, but 1t was
never contemplated to give them
power to throttle the industries Of the
country that they might collect a
greater toll from the already over
worked farmers.
Mr.. Wilson has dopted for his elec-
ton slogan, II have kept the nation
out Of war" tbut he forgets to add,
"for the reason that the nation has no
desire for war;. Mr. Wilson's move
to make the public believe that he can
avert strike by demanding that the
party to the controversy having the
greatest voting strength should get
about all they ask, my fool some peo-
pie, but certainly not all.

Columbus, Neb.. Sept $40 the
Editor of The Bee: The demo-
cratic newspapers of Omaha published
yesterday remarkable Interview In
which certain August Esser from
Lincoln announces to the world at
large that the entire nation should
rejoice; because our president pro-
fessor has kept us out of war. This
announcement, Of course, is Mr.. Es-
sers personal privilege; but what
the writer would like to know, is
this the same Esser who less than
six months ago so enthusiastically de-
nounced the presidents foreign poll
cies, that he exceeded all bounds Of
propriety and manners by stating
amoung other things, that Wilson was
not fit to herd swine? II this is the
same Esser l further would like to
know whether he was turned down
at the republican headquarters or
whether II was some other strong and
effective medium which SO suddenly
changed the color Of his flag.

st. Louis, Sept. Ito the Editor
Of The Bee: That was clever let
ter Of August Miller in The Bees
Letter Box of August 20, entitled,
VINO Betrayed the Irish People"
That is. 1t was clever, If you don't
happen to know the motive. If you do
know the motive, II was stupid.
II was a clever rehash Of editorials
and special correspondence Of GER
tain paper published in New York In
the interest Of foreign government.
1t Is quite evident that Mr.. Miller is
on the regular staff Of well organized
correspondents who have been Sc
lected for this purpose because their
names do not suggest their nativity or
motive. 1t matters little whether
Wilson or Hughes, or anyone else
was in the White House. If they did
not do the bidding Of this organiza-
ton they would be blacklisted just
the same.
Come on Mr.. Miller" dope out
your dope, according to instructions
keep on trying to embitter the Irish
people In America against the govern
ment, for Interior motives, and after
election you will find that II does not
matter so much Just now who Is pres
ident of the United States, so long as
he is an American.

is to set post at the crossing near
the track with an arm fastened to
the post, SO when the train comes
into the signal block the arm is raised,
thus blocking the road. Some one that
has the money and the inventive gen.
ius could make a pile of money by
working this out.
You can publish this to agitate the
plan. ! don't charge anything for it,
