Pittsburgh Dispatch; In his latest ex-
plot Admiral Mayo didn't demand any salute
to the flag, but waded right in and smashed
the war game enemy.
Boston Transcript: The report that Mr..
Hughes cuts his own beard Is promptly de-
nounced as canard. Doubtless It originated
from the fact that he trimmed Secretary Red
fields whiskers.
New York World: A magistrate has de-
cided that an express company using the
American flag as a trademark does not
violate the law which is designed to prevent
the misuse Of the emblem Of the United
States. The decision should help correct
tendency among professional patriots to over
do the defense of the flag. II II needs any
protection. II Is from defenders who lack
common sense.
Springfield Republican: Senator Tillman
denounced southern cotton mill owners for
opposing the child labor bill. but he voted
against IL, on the ground that II Is uncon-
stitutional. He Is shocked ito see men in
South Carolina who are willing to swell
their dividends at the expense of little
children" but is apparently equally shocked
at the "servility of present-day vots-seekers
to organised labor" The famous pitchfo-k
shakes rather uncertainty.

After the journeys long exile the weary,
wayworn feet

found a rest complete.
The patient hands have laid aside their

And In loves sacred ministries find glao

Those dear, mute lips that erstwhile gave

Responsive kiss, or tender word to comfort

And while they still to answering heart
speak hope and trust and love,
Join the Triumphant praises Of the ransomed

Upon the face of Him she loved-reflect the

forever more shall sing.

"crocker Land" Plays Vanishing Act.

Back FROM the Arctic region comes the ex-
ploring expedition, sent out to check up on dis
eovcres reported by Admiral Peary in connection
with his journey to the pole First OF all is the
statement that no vestige Of the so-called
"Crocker Land" could be found. The nvestiga-
tors found only open deep water where Peary
found the new land" They have concluded the
gallant commander was misled by mirage,
which Is quite believable. Whether this will
throw doubt on other features Of Peary's report
must be determined by further details OF what
the Investigators found The fierce controversy
between Cook and Peary has never been entirely
stilled, and il may easily be opened again. 1t
will be well for the latter II it Isl and certain ee
ments Of doubt now existing be cleared away, that
his great exploit may be established beyond ques-
ton. The vanishing OF "Crocker Land need not
be considered discrediting to Pearys whole claim.

The Only Logical Conclusion.

One of the unbiased reviews of the railroad
strike drama and its elimination in the enactment
of the new eight-hour wage basis law includes
this pertinent observation:
Before leaving Washington President Gar
retson expressed the belief that the action OF
congress in legislating the eight-hour day in
this instance points logically to federal rcgula-
ton OF all railways to the ultimate end OF gov
eminent ownership.
The taking over by the president and congress,
in conjunction with the Interstate Commerce
commission and the special investigating commits
sion yet to be appointed, OF the whole question Of
hours and wages OF employees OF railroads subject
to the interstate commerce law Daring the few
specific exceptions) completely estops the demo
Gratis from attempting to make further issue out
of the exclusive federal regulation plank in the
republican platform.
As consequence OF recent court decisions in
rate cases and OF this new wage legislation, fed
eral regulation is already in effect in the matters
OF most importance, and the states rights idea
of independent conflicting control by forty-eight
different aw-makng and administering bodies
has heard its death knell sounded.
President Garrctson is eminently correct in his
conclusion that there is no logical stopping point
short Of federal regulation Of all railways" even
though his ultimate end Of government owner
ship be disputable or, at best, remote. No one,
let II be noted thought Of appealing to the differ
ent state railway commissions to bring about an
adjustment of the recent wage trouble. On the
contrary, everyone concerned looked solely to the
seat OF federal government for the solution if it
was to come through any public authority. In
other words, all our railroads have become and
are part Of one national system OF transportation
whose vital problems can neither be localized nor
dealt with satisfactorily except in their proper
relation to the whole

Sound Suggestions for Safety.

Omaha, Sept. 6.-To the Editor of
The Bee: Over year ago the Ne
braska Safety league urged the city
commissioners to establish safety
zones on the downtown streets OF
Omaha, and at Twenty-fourth and
Farnam. A few days ago the Omaha
Auto club suggested that these zones
be designated by line on the pave
ment. We all know that careless
autoists have little regard for the
lines which are already on downtown
streets. Numbers of them cross over
before they are given the signal.
What Omaha needs and should have
is an iron railing or chain to encircle
the safety zone, or, better still, an
elevated board platform, such as
Winnipeg and several other cities
have, where passengers may stand or
alight from car without their lives
being endangered. These platforms
are safe and practical and may be
made plain or ornamental, as the city
prefers.
Another suggestion from the Ne
braska Safety league Is that signals
be installed at each street intersec-
ton downtown. These should have
the words go" and Stop" and
would be manipulated by the traffic
officer. When the signal says 60"
all traffic moves in that direction, and
when stop" is signalled pedestrians
and vehicles alike stop and wait for
the word GO"
The writer has visited many large
cities, including Detroit. during the
last year and has made study of
safety precautions. 1t might be we'll
for the city commissioners. the Oma-
ha Automobile club and represen-
tative Of the pedestrians to get to-
gether on this important question.

All Indications point to cotton
famine. Never in a half century has
the price been as high as it is now at
the opening of the season. Many
who have studied the conditions and
know something about the markets
and the .Supply and demand say chat
It will go to 20 or Is cents the pound.
An increase In price OF Ave cents the
pound would mean something like
s275 ,oooO million dollars. Now we
would like to see the producer get
some benefit from this increase in
price which, seems almost inevitable.
II cotton Is not rushed on the market
in September he will be In better
position to get some OF the benefit OF
the increase in price. The crop Is
short and the demand is great. There
will not be enough cotton made to
supply the demand and some one is
going to make a killing" out of cot
ton and we hope that 1t will be just
a little distributed so that the prodnc-
er as well as the spinner and the
merchant and the rest Of US may
share a little something in the kill
i1.g" and if We do not rush the staple
on the market all will get a portion
of the profit. That is the way it
looks to US, but you must act on your
own judgment.
The crop this year will not be much
over eleven million bales and in that
event there will surely be a cotton
famine.

Whitmire on the Appalachian high
way. It needs to be made higher, bu+
before that can be done the bridges
will have to be raised. This should
b.. done and we are satisfied that it
will be done soon after the election.
This is a road that should be made
better. It is IAN important local road
ard then it should be remembered
that it is a part of the appalachian
highway and by making good road
out of it we will be able to keep the
tourist travel going this way. And
We would not neglect the Piedmont
In fact, as we have before remarked
it is vitality to the inteytst Of New
berry to make both these roads good
roads. And the beauty about it is
that for at least half the distance they
beth are the same road. And the
roads connect several very important
places and trading centres of the
county. The total mileage of the
Piedmont and the Appalachian i'll
Newberry county is only about At
miles. 1t is Il miles from MewDerry
to Little Mountain; - from NeWberry
to kinards; q from Newberry to
Whitmire. Tie towns through
which these reads go could scarcely
make a better investment than to
contribute to their UP keep. The en-
tire roadbed is too narrow and the,.
there still remain a number Of grade
crossings of the railroads that should
be removed and in this work the off,
cials will have the hearty ooopera-
tion of the railroads.
