Money In Live Stock.

One Nebraska farmer came to the Omaha mar
ket with ffty-four head of beef steers. and went
home with Sls,s9s20 as the proceeds of the sale.
Another brought in thirty-three head, and went
home with S8,s73.40. These figures will arouse
the envy OF such of the old time cattle barons as
are yet living. Time was when the beef steer
stood at $50 to $50 on his hoois, and his owner
prospered at those prices. Change has come over
the scene since them and with II an ever-increas-
ing high regard for the keeper Of Aocks and herds
Nowadays the cattle baron no longer operates
over sky-boundcd and horizon-staked plains, but
within limited enclosure devotes his attention to
the preparation for the sharnbles of few se-
lected specimens of bovine perfection, and anon
visits his banker and chucks into safe deposit a
roll Of money that would have scared to death
one Of his progenitors Before the food the rais-
ing Of live stock had its attractions, and It has
ever persisted in all ages. but never has il shown
70 such glittering advantage as now Unto him
that hath steers shall be given, and from him that
hath to buy meat shall be taken. And even
Charlie Wooster will have hard time to prove
that the grower is losing much money at the pres.
ent prices.

KaGser and People Are One

"Das ist ems" said German prisoners to
American officers who were explaining to
them that the United States was not fighting
the German people, but only the German
government-"they are one and the same"
This incident. related by Don Martin in
special cable dispatch to the Herald, ought
to be an enlightening one for those persons
in this country who still try to make a dis
tinction between the Huns and their rulers.
Barbarous alike, the one upholds the other
in every phase of frightfulness, centuries of
brutal deeds having ingrained it in their ma
tional character.
Here is an illuminating object lesson for
Americans who have been arguing that this
country should wage war that will not hurt
and should receive as loving brethren after
the conflict those who have proved them
selves to be murderers on land and sea and
who, after nearly four years of intense strug-
gle, still have no repentance for their mis-
deeds.-New York Herald.

Berlan's Lie Factory at Work

In its haste to deny the Canadian hospital
ship Llandovery Castle was sunk by Ger
man submarine, Berlin has recourse to plain
les. ''It appears from the later news"
the German semi-official statement says,
"that no one on board observed U-boat or
torpedo"
The German plea in self-defense is as
clumsy as it is mendacious. Captain Sylves-
ter Of the hospital ship, two others Of the
ships officers, and Major T. Lyon Of the
Canadian medical corps, were taken on board
the U-boat and examined. Evidently the
mistake made by the German submarine
commander was not in numbering the rs
survivors of the hospital ship. If only they
had perished along with the other 234 per-
sons on board the Llandovery Castle, then
the German government might have had
some reason to hope that the lying reports
authorized by it would be accepted. In its
attempt to evade responsibility for the de-
struction Of the hospital ship 1t only con-
victs itself Of deliberate falsehood to cover
up wanton crime.
Even in Berlin it is no; thought expedient
to admit that in their ruthless warfare the
U-boats neither spare hospital ships nor re-
spect the Red Cross. The German govern
ment does not shrink from the practice OF
slaughtering women nurses, doctors and
medical attendants, but it dislikes facing the
proofs Of its barbarity, even at home. To
the lie, carefully prepared in advance, that
the Llandovery Castle carried American
flight officers is added the second lie that
the hospital ship was not sunk by U-boat
but by q British mine.--New York World

Federal Government "on the Wire"

The president having determined that the ex-
gences of war justify taking control of the tele-
graph and telephone service Of the country, has
ordered that on July 81 private management
cease and with the beginning Of the new month
these means of transmitting communications and
information will go under the administration of
the Postoffice department Details OF the plan,
rather sketchy outlined by the postmaster gen.
era, will be awaited with interest. Mr.. Burle-
son talks of extension and modification to make
the wires Of greater service to more people, but ex
perience with the mail facilities under his man
agement scarcely warrants the conclusion that
either telephone telegraph usage will be great
ly improved while he is at the head Of affairs
This, however, is not the fault of the plan but
a result of mismanagement in carrying it out
Unihcaton of service, doing away with costly
Implications Of plant and delivery systems, and
closer operation in other ways ought to effect
notable economies and should permit large saw
ings to patrons without diminishing efficiency.
Recent financial statements OF the Bell company,
the Western Union and American Telegraph and
Telephone companies, show that they are right
now at high tide of prosperity and the owners
have nothing to fear as to loss through govern
ment management, as their dividends are guar
anteed, while all obligations will be discharged in
full by the federal government
During the debate on the resolution in the
senate, it was openly charged by Senator Lewis
that telephone wires were being used to convey
forbidden communications. This implies a
stricter censorship over the talking wires, How

safety of the Magyar racial islets by linking
them up with one another" He appointed
cultural committee to set up cultur-l zone.
That is to say in all the frontier counties in
struction must be based on a Magyar edu.
cation, beyond reproach from the point OF
view of loyalty to the state" In the schools
the nom Magyar populations have long seen
almost their only chance of preventing the
suppression of their nationality. Nom Mag
var public instruction will be abolished if the
Magyar democrats" have their way.
Another means OF Magyarization is
through Magyar priests and the creation of
Magyar bishoprics of the Greek Catholic
(Uniate) church, OF which many Roumanians
and Ukrainians are members. The plan is
by degrees to destroy the racial and national
inheritance of Roumanians, Ukrainians, Serbs,
by sermons in Magyar and unwearied pro-
selytizing.
In Pennsylvania the Roumanians have the
fattest and best land, in South Hungary the
agriculture last fall provided that no transfer
or lease of land should be made without con-
sent of the government Leases were to run
for not more than ten years. Il shall em-
ploy this right" said the minister, "exclu-
sively and solely in the service of Magyar
national land policy" The Czechs in the
Austrian parliament ragged against the decree.
A Budapest jingo journal told them that the
state had right to protect its territory
against suspect elements" The decree must
be applied to all Hungarian territory.
THE state must have an unlimited
right of appropriation In order to be able
to parcel out and colonize the land.
1t must carry out healthy distribu-
ton of land to the Magyar race, which
alone is support of the state"
The northern and southern frontiers of
the monarchy are to be safeguarded by
chain of Magyar colonies. In fact, the chain
is to run so as to part the non Magyar races
in Hungary from their brethren across the
frontier. Finally, there must be reform in
the administration of the frontier districts.
The autonomy of the communes must be
ended. The government must be centralized
The frontier districts must be thoroughly
Magyarized. AS the minister of interior
said, "the tendencies which threaten the idea
of our state find their most fertile soil in
the frontier districts of Hungary" State
officials, absolutely reliable officials" must
overcome those tendencies
School reform, administrative reform,
land reform, religious reform, suffrage re-
form: it is an edifyng and characteristic
Magyar plan. Is there anybody left in the
United States who swallows the tiresome old
| Magyar myth?

DIFFICULTIES OF THE SOLDIER VOTE.

Even so good lawyer as Judge DUNCAN, who
gives as one reason for Fastening to decline
fling for the democratic primary that he fears
delay might prevent the ballots reaching the SOL
diers, seems to be under the impression that our
new Nebraska soldiers voting law gives all the
men in the military and naval service voice in
the choice OF party candidates A reading of the
statute as enacted by the legislature last winter
shows that this is not correct.
The law makes distinction between the pri-
mary and the election, and primary ballots are
to be sent only to those on the official register
of electors in service who are "at the time sta.
toned within the continental United States"
The law provides, further, that the ballots shall
be mailed twenty-five days before the primary,
which is only five days after the time for filing
expires. and the exact day when the time for ac-
ceptng or declining petition filings runs out.
With reference to the nonpartisan ballot, which
is also to be included, the conflict presents worse
difficulties because filings for the so-called non
partisan Offices need not be completed until ten
days prior to the primary, so that the possibility
of late nonpartisan filings losing out on the SOL
diers' ballots Is even more serious.
Getting down to bedrock, while the impelling
purpose of preserving for the soldiers their right
to vote is shared by all OF US and is highly COM
mendable, the practical obstacles are so many
that it is unlikely any large number of soldiers
votes can be polled for the primary, Or any very
much larger number for the election.

"peace Terms" Of Baffled Burglar.

Whether or not Vorwaerts speaks by the card,
the outline Of the terms for peace 1t says Ger
many has asked Spain to proffer to the world Is
quite familiar, having several times been paraded
in almost identical form. 1t IS the offer Of a
baffled burglar, willing to withdraw from the
premises he has broken into, If permitted to re-
tain the plumber he has bundled up and guaran-
teed immunity from prosecution or prevention
from taking up his neiarious work again at his
own convenience. The editor Of Vorwaerts
naiyely comments that the terms seem very fair.
To Germany, yes; to permit the junkerthurm to
retain all it has grabbed Of Russia and Roumania
with the privilege OF exploitation in the rest of
that region on scale of its own; to restore Ger.
man colonies as they were to refer to Belgium's
status to conference, and to similarly dispose of
the principle of self-determination; to require
Great Britain TO abandon all its outposts-these
items comprise all that victorious Germany might
reasonably ask, save indemnity This latter is
graciously waived. because the supermen look for
ward to compensation to be secured from sub.
jugated Russia and Roumania Spain may offer
the proposal on behalf of Berlin, but for the
present no inclination to bargain with the Hun
is apparent anywhere among the Allies, whose
victory is coming nearer with each tick of the
clock.

The lower house Of the Hungarian Diet
has adopted the franchise bill. 1t is beauti-
full to see the Magyars in the high moment
of democracy and reform This franchise
bill is the peak and summit of Magyar
democratic" purpose and achievement The
Magyar magnifcos have been trumpeting
universal suffrage" loud and long for
months. At last accounts the franchise bill
disseminates universal suffrage in Hungary
by diminishing the proportionate parliament
tary representation of the non Magyar peo-
pies. 1t gives the Magyars something over
62 per cent. the Germans l2H per cent, the
other nationalities less than Is per cent of
the whole electorate. And diverse cunning
gerrymanders are arranging. Last fall the
minister OF suffrage, who is likewise
chief of the so-called democratic" party,
said that, in case the ballot was given to lit
crates of "a and upward, the Roumanians
would have majority in only four OF "a
Translyvanian constituencies. Even in two
of these the majority would be so slender that
it could not properly be called Roumanian
Could these. at the utmost four, Roumanian
representative be thought "a danger to Mag
yardom"! The universal suffrage reform
would prove that Magyardom was not so
weak. The basis of the franchise reform of
former premier was to add % new constit-
uencies, all pure Magyar free towns, as a
counterpoise to dangers from the nationali-
ties" The protagonist of universal suffrage
was going to increase still further the mum
Der of seats among the towns where the
Magyar element predominates."
So triumphant Magyar democracy is 60
ing to allow the nearly 1,500, 900 Roumanians
of Transylvania two sure and two doubtful
seats in parliament. In short, this universal
suffrage Is the elimination of the whole Mag
var scheme to Magyarize Hungary The dis
patch which tells of the passage of the bill
through the lower house adds that the dis
cussion of details was postponed until after
the house had dealt with number of social
and political questions, especially those relat-
ing to the safeguarding OF the northern and
southern frontiers of the monarchy, which,
Premier Wekerle said, were more important
than the franchise question" Naturally
Let US see Count Apponyi, minister Of
education, visiting the frontier districts last
December to Judge for himself what mea-
sures were needed 'for the cultural defense
Of the country" The Roumanian teachers
training colleges had been closed and were to
remain closed The counts educational aim
was simply ito strengthen everywhere the
national Magyar state" He began "by null
tplying the state schools in order to place a
barrier along the frontier and insure the
