A Volunteered Testimonial.

Lincoln, Jan. 9.-To the Editor of
The Bee: AS one of the state exam
liners from 1901 to 1914 1t was my
duty to periodically check the ac-
counts Of the treasurers of Douglas
county, and while thus engaged be-
came familiar with the auditing sys-
tenn as introduced by Mr.. Frank
Dewey, your county clerk. 1t is a
very comprehensive and efficient sys-
tenn, one which not only safeguards the
interests Of the taxpayer but lightens
the work Of the examiner
I am writing this to the public of
Omaha because l understand that a
recount has been asked on this office,
having for its objective the removal
Of Mr.. Dewey from office. Should the
movement be successful, 1t would re-
move from office a tried and expert
enced official and one who has proven
his value to the county.

Why Wilson Won Out.

Fremont, Neb., Jan. $40 the
Editor Of The Bee: In looking over
The Bee I find an article by Mr.. Ag-
new who, in terms not to be misun-
derstood, criticises the people for al
lowing man like Wilson to be elect
ed to second term of presidency.
He advises that II it hadn't have been
for the "hysterical voting of the
women voters of the mountain states
and of Kansas Wilson would not have
been elected"
Where and how were Wilson's ma
jorities secured?" was another ques-
ton asked. I think that may be an
swered without difficulty if you look
at the laboring man. Mr.. Wilson has
done all he possibly could for the poor
man and they recognized it by re-elect-
ing him.
Another expression I did not fancy
at all was this: Even the fraud called
the Adamson eight-hour law, etc. !"
Well, now, that fraud came just in
the niche Of time to keep the whole
United States from being tied up, for
that brotherhood meant business with
a big "B" and l do not believe the
railroad corporations would have come
across without they did strike. 1t
would have taken pretty good man.
lots better than Hughes has the credit
of being, to keep out Of that war,
as our president has done.
Quoting again: ut is time the old
loyal north was aroused as it was in
1851 and insist that the disloyal sec
ton Of this union shall not control
the destinies of our republic by tramp
ling under their feet the rights of
millions Of its citizens and holding
control Of the republic by fraud and
force" Isn't that a pretty thing for
an American to say? Because in this
instance the democratic party won and
with the exception of last it has been
some time since the republicans have
lost campaign, so don't say there
was any crooked or undetermined work
going on. I'll tell just exactly why
Mr.. Wilson was reelected: 1t was
because the people were not voting
in parties as they generally do, but
were voting for the man, and that is
the main thing we want
My father fought in the civil war
on the union side and I believe 1 am
as good an American patriot as Mr..
Agnew Is, but l would not try to pub
lish any near-slander, as that last
paragraph looked to me. No, Mr.
Agnew, don't take this election too
much to heart, for there will be an
other one in four years and you may
get to remove Wilson and put in bet
ter man. C. M. BREAZEALE.

MIXING THE LANGUAGE

1t is be denied that the Wilson peace note has
been variously interpreted Twice in day different
versions from official Washington Comment abroad
tended to mzze the situation The senate has not
sisted in clarifying the puzzle.
In fact the uncertainty of what prompted the and
its purpose give rise to the statement that Wilson
will make another This comes in the nature of
a dispatch which says:
If another communication is sent it is expected to
make clear the position of the president, as it
is felt that a result of abroad and in the
United States, and the debate in the senate more
less confusion has arisen as to just what he in
tended.
The of talking without clear ring to what is SAID
