Jerry Still on the Job.

Lincoln, April 9.-To the Editor of
The Bee: Please give space in your
widely read paper to this copy of a
resolution introduced by me this aft
ernoon in the house of representatives
and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The United States of
America is now engaged in the world
war and the laboring men of the ma
ton will be called upon to respond to
the colors, and they will respond as
they have always responded. in the
past, and,
Whereas, Departure of the bread
winners for the fields of battle will
leave thousands of women and chill
dren to earn their own subsistence in
the factories and sweat shops of the
metropolitan cities; therefore, be it
Resolved. That this house recon-
mend to our representatives in con-
gress, as q war measure, to assist
these worthy women. and children,
whose bread winners have gone to the
front, that maximum price of one
dollar (S1.00) per bushel be fixed
upon wheat, and a maximum price on
other provisions accordingly; and be
1t further
Resolved, That we recommend
that an embargo be placed on ship
ments of leather, in any form, from
this country, so that the packers
might release the 100000 hides now
being held to raise the price of shoes
to $25 or more per pair; and, likewise
that we urge congress to pay as it goes
in the war with income and inheri-
lance taxes. All incomes over $4,000
per year should be conscripted. The
minimum cash pay of soldiers and
sailors should be not less than SO per
day during the war"

TO THE LIVING FLAG.

Can 1t be that thou insensate art, oh flas,
so loved and cherished
That armies countless thousands strong
have fought for thee and perished7
That armies countless thousands strong, by
thy dumb call elated.
Again would spring to arms for thee. though
knowing death awaited?
Nay. quivers life through every fold, each
wave and undulation
That measures with it's rise and fall the
heart-throbs of a nation.
Aye, in thy folds, a, century old. 9 century's
life is surging,
And over all waves a clarion call to blood
that needs no urging.
Life thrills thy red, in courage bred: the
purity of thy whiteness;
Thy field OF blue, in truths own hue; thy
stars Of dazzling brightness;---
And courage. truth and purity, thus in thy
colors blended,
Have fired the hearts and nerved the arms
which have thy cause defended.
So, children of the men OF old who first un-
furled to glory
The beauty of thy stars and stripes, now
famed In song and story,
To save the flag their blood baptized when
we were born a nation,
We pledge our life blood and our sons In
solemn conservation.

Brazil Breaks With Germany.

Brazil has broken off diplomatic relations with
the imperial German government for the same
reasons that moved the United States in taking
similar step. This may be considered as pre-
paratory move to BraziIs entering the war as an
atcive beligerent. Much importance attaches to
this move, for Brazil not only occupies leading
place in the ssterhood of South American re-
publcs, and therefore will have great influence
in determining the course Of the others, but much
Of the capital for the great development of these
countries in the last few years has been furnished
by Germany The open opposition Of the South
American republics to the Prussian olgarchy
means something more than the possible addition
to the fighting forces. 1t involves possible
loss of prestige to the Germans, through the de-
struction of carefully devised and patiently fos-
tered financial and commercial relations that will
not easily be again set up after the war is ended
II the animus Of the war was commercial, as has
been contended by many astute commentators,
Germany has already lost practically all it had at
stake and whatever the outcome OF the fighting,
will be compelled to start anew to establish its
place in the sun"

Give the Bon HIS Chance
Minneapolis Journal.

Men who have sons near the age OF manhood
may well be forgiven some anguish OF spirit, at
the thought of how closely the necessities of the
nation now touch their lives. Many father who
has neglected to show much, If any, companion
ship for the boy, or who has left the training Of
his children largely in the hands of the mother
and the school teacher, now begins to regret his
neglect Speaking of companonship with boys,
Philadelphia father recently said:
"The other day young fellow came to me
for a job. ! had known his father. Now the
son was down and out. He looked as though
he had been drinking When l asked him how
he had come to such pass-and with such
father he half broke down. My father must
have been fine man. he said but unfortunately
| knew it only through others. He was too
busy to pay much attention to me. As a matter
of fact, | never knew him as a companion, a
friend, or anything but man who paid the
bills"
This was a shock to the questioner, for he
realized that his own picture was also being
painted. From that time on he promised himself
he would devote at least an hour day to his
son and two hours on Sunday
Now, with the coming Of war and the pos
sbility OF call TO the service, a new value is
TIERS Here is food for thought for those fathers
whose sons are still too young to serve in this
time of national necessity. Why not get &C.
quanted with these boys and give them some
measure of companionship?
Nor should it be forgotten that there are
weghty offsets to these anxieties OF fathers
Much in the way of soul values as we'll as physca
values will come into the lives of the boys who
go into the service. Patriotism is still something
The army has often been the making OF men, a:
the civil war proved in so many cases. And there
is the great adventure. As one young Englishmar
put it, Eyes, suppose it is terrible, but wouldn'
have missed it for anything"
We are living in wonderful time. Give thu
boy chance. Let him live his life. II is a grea
thing to serve ones country. 1t is even greater
to serve humanity.

Unskilled Labor After the War.

A correspondent of the Railway Age Gazette
writes to his paper from Italy in anticipation of
labor conditions after the war is ended, after hav-
ing surveyed much Of Europe and carefully in
vestigating the Italian situation. He finds that
service in the army has greatly altered the char
acter of the men who have been doing the rough
labor in the world for many years. They have
been made more self-reant, mentally more alert
and dependable, and physically capable of better
service than ever. The padrone system, under
which these men were sold in gangs to contrac-
tors, will not again be re-established. The men
have learned the value of organization as we'll as
of individual initiative and will not be dealt with
on the old basis.
Italy is awake to the industrial needs Of the
country and efforts will be made to keep its men
at home after the war; failing in this, the govern
ment will favor Argentine, where extensive col
onization has been carried on for years. Ger
many, too, will be a bidder for unskilled labor
Before the war the Germans employed annually
some 100000 foreign laborers. OF the 100000
Italians who annually went abroad to work, al
most half, or 100000, came to the United States,
and this country still will be favored. What is
true of Italy applies to other countries having a
surplus of rough labor power
The new immigration law, with its literacy
test is not going to be the bar some expected.
The foreigner can be taught in FIVE or six months
enough to enable him to pass the required test;
in this way the law will produce one of the bene-
fits predicted for it by its advocates-it will raise
the mental standard Of the immigrant.
This correspondent advises employers Of large
proups of unskilled labor that thew must preoare
to meet new conditions and says that any em.
ployer who undertakes to maintain the old basis
will simply add to the complications of his prob
lem. The great gain will come in the improved
| quality of the service.

Our Fighting Men
!. Franklin Bell.

Major General J. Franklin Bell, the new COM
mander of the Eastern department. is a soldier
who has shown himself on more than one occa-
sion to be good fighter, full of energy and en-
graduated from West Point at the age of %. He
first distinguished himself in 1883, when he cap
tured band of haf-breed Creek Indians in North
Dakota. In 1899 he was awarded the congress
sional medal of honor "for most distinguished
gallantry in action, September g. 1899, near Porac,
Luzon, P. l." General Bell remained in the Philip
pines until 1908, when he returned to this country
He was commandant Of the Infantry and Cavalry
school, the Signal school and the Staff college
until 1906. At that time he was appointed chief
of staff, being the youngest officer ever to hold
that position. In 1911 he became commander of
the Philippine division, remaining until 1914 Re-
Gently he has been commander OF the Western d-
vision with headquarters at San Francisco
