Contrasts in Mexico

Pictures in strong contrast are just now
being shown in Mexico. The people, misunder-
stood on this and misrepresented on the other
side OF the border, coming into contact with the
soldiers In General Pershings expedition, are
getting better first-hand knowledge Of Amer
leans. They are beginning to understand the
friendly nature OF the call, TO know that wide
difference exists between the soldiers OF the
United States and the banditti who have mas
queraded as soldiers for years in chihuahua.
with this understanding Is growing up a con-
fldence that means much for future relations.
On the other hand, CarranEa by his dllatory
methods is hampering the movement. and Is
showing a most unfrendly attitude Pretend
ing TO preserve his dignity, and the integrity
OF his country, which were never threatened.
he is in fact aiding Villa and his crew of MUIR
derers to make good their escape by haggling
over the use Of the railroads needed to handle
supplies for the American troops and thus rem
der their activity the more efficient This at
titude Is characteristic OF the man. who has
been described as "the most misunderstood
man in Mexico" misunderstood because Ameri-
cans are unable TO grasp the sweep OF his In
gratitude the narrowness OF his nature, or the
pettiness OF his conduct.
The marvel will always be how q man OF Car
rrnza's quality was ever able to bambooEle the
president OF the United States into the miser-
able intrigue that Is now becoming apparent
Some day. perhaps. the agencies that have so
far concealed themselves behind the first
chief" will be forced into the open, and thus
clear up what Is now a puzzle.

Watsr Power and Politics.

The streams Of the west and especially
those OF Nebraska. are at last to be utilized.
They are being made to serve the purposes OF
the politicians. who hope to float into office on
the ripping waters OF the rivers that flow from
mountain to sea. This is not a new thing no
newer than the discovery that running water
may be made useful by turning its energy into
power. and Transforming that power into light
and heat and other forms for mans uses.
These streams have flown across Nebraska for
unnumbered ages. but only lately have they be-
come serviceable--to the politician Now, in
lieu OF another issue. they are being paraded
with much pomp and display for the bewilder-
ment OF voters who may be momentariiy blinded
by the dazzling display OF words and imposing
array Of figures back OF which lurk the selfish
office-seekers. The economic features OF the
problem are entirely ignored by the schemers
who are busy at befOoling the people. The water
power OF Nebraska has been looked into very
carefully by experts. and examined from every
angle and TO the full extent OF its possibilities.
II does exist. and is now available. but IL has
not been developed by private capital for the
sole reason that Il has not presented a suf-
ficiently attractive field. The salvation OF Ne
braska. happily. does not depend on the sud
denly discovered condition over which such a
pow-wow is being held.

Greetings to the new Union Depot recruit.
Welcome TO the WorldHerad at last Join
ing The Bee in the movement to secure ade-
ouate passenger accommodations for Omaha

Herald now tries TO make out that II was the
Original" Union Depot champion All the
Omaha newspapers have. at one time or an
other pointed out the need Of up-to-date sta
ton facilities, but II remained for The Bee 70
see that the time was now ripe for persistent
and effective agitation. Our readers will re"
member that at the very start OF this agitation
several weeks ago. we issued an open invitation
10 our contemporaries to come on in with us,
assuring them that the success would bring
glory enough for all" We welcome the
world-Heralds acceptance Of this invitation,
even though tardy. and we renew II for the
third newspaper which we hope will yet wake
up TO the fact that the demand for a new Union
Depot is real and that the people Of Omaha
are in earnest about II.
To show our good faith. we repeat what the
World-Herald says very pointedly in reinforcing
The Bees argument:

year not counting the local travel and II Is certain
that there IL nothing In their first glimpse OF our

preference for president and vice president He
will also be called upon to vote for two presi'
Dental electors-at-isrge and one presidential
elector from his congressional district, He Will
likewise vote for four delegates-at-large and a
like number OF alternates to represent his party
in its national convention. I will also vote
for one national committeeman for the political
party with which he affiliates.
These are the offices and positions to be filled
at this primary in addition to and distinct from
