No Mercy On Kaiser.

Omaha, Oct. 4.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: The Won Hertling's speech
in The Bee impresses me more than
the other papers. Now something is
the matter with that fellow, and its
hurting him, too, 80 give us peace"
and pray why not? Didn't Lee get
peace in '65? Yep. We should all
be sorry that its hurting Hertling
when he sees the dove Of peace en-
closing Germany in its loving en-
brace. s.
"You see am pacificist, but !
dont't want peace until America has
lots Of experience. 1t civilized the
red man, and has had an occasional
Harry Tracy or Jesse James. so that
dealing with nation of such char
acters is not altogether a novelty
England has fought from Singapore
to Quebec, both ways around the
globe, and Allenby is Just occupying
ground as familiar to the English as
England itself. When the line
reaches Germany from the east
there will be 100000 Russians
rally to the cause of the allies, so
the complaint or disease that is
hurting Hertling, is not so mystic
rious as he would make the copper
head bolshevists outside of the
power of the German despot believe.
Now, when great London
preacher some years ago said, God
damn the sultan" he didn't curse
the worst scoundrel that ever went
unhung, not by damned sight.
When William II was a stripping the
smartest thing he could do was to
call his mother the English viper"
When his nose would bleed on drill
with the hussars he would sneer and
say, II am shedding the last drop Of
my English blood" When Clemen-
ceau or Wilson or Balfour can hate
like that, what hurts Hertling will be
relieved, but not till that distant day.
NO, had more to say, but Wilson.
Balfour or Clemenceau wont notice
the reptiles, why should I? Its
something awful to hate a German,
yes it's nearly as bad as to love an
Edith Cavill. Damn the kaiser"

Results Of Maine Election and
Hays-Tumulty Episode
Cheer Leaders.
TESS SEES MANY GAINS
Party's Platform Is "Win the
War;" Says Republican
Campaign Chief.
Special Despasch 70 Tnr sUS

WARRINGTON, Sept 1S.-A noticeable
rise IN Republican confidence has taken
place hero. due to the results Of the
Maine election and the Hays-Tumulty
in which Republicans be-
iieve the Republican chairman easily
bore of the honors.
Representative Fess. in charge OF the
Republican campaign. speaking OF the
Republican chances. said to-day:
The Republican party will make
gains In Kansas. Missouri. Illinois. Ohio
and other States in the Congressional
elections, in my belief OF course nobody
can tell just what will happen. am
confident we will swing the House and
considerably reduce Democratic control
in the Senate. This does not mean OBJ
struction on our part II we win. We are
in the war to VIM and that 10 the plat
form We are campaigning on-that and
a more efficient administration of war
work.
The battle royal this fall will be fought
to see whether Republicans can regain
control OF the lower branch OF Congress,
In the Senate the Republicans will be
satisfied with making some gains with
out obtaining a majority.
Thus far the Democrats have little TO
crow over. The Maine elections cast
gloom over their oamp-not that they
expected to sweep the State or anything
like that. but they did hope to gain the
Second district Instead Of that. Repub-
lican incumbent White beat Democratic
aspirant McGillicuddy by a majority
Ave times greater than 1t was in 1916.
The Maine elections. coming along in
September. are regarded by Republicans
as a fairly accurate estimate OF the way
the undercurrent of public opinion -
heading.
In the Maine campaign Democratic
speakers went so far as to make II ap-
pear the election OF Republicans would
be a positive JOY TO the Prussian war
lords To the JOY OF the silent Repub-
Leans and the chagrin OF the party in
power this sort OF talk was labelled
bunk by the Maine voters. and put
out of their minds altogether. Had II
succeeded In Maine II il proba bile that
every Republican candidate for Congress
In a close district would have had to
fight against this thinly veiled disloyalty
charge
One real reason back OF the desire for
Republican control OF the House is that
through sticking to the so-calied senior

ity rule"-the chairmen OF many OF the
highly important House committees are

In addition 70 this <acf eyery ,n,nor-

SECRET OUT; JUDGE IS lo1.

For several years the members OF the

guess the age OF Judge Milton c. Louden.

residents of that town.
The title OF Judge rested becomingly
upon the old gentleman for he wore it
with a certain dignity, and besides, too
long ago for most OF the present genera
ton to remember, he had been Justice
of the Peace.
When asked point blank 10 say how
old he was the Judge was wont TO reply
good humoredly:
We'll. I'm gettin' along a bit-ge.tin'
along a bit now"
When asked, How do YOU feel this
morning. judge" the reply would be,
"Tolerable. my son; fairly tolerable |

The secret came out yesterday when
the members of the county draft board
were going over the registration cards
from last Thursday. There was one for
the Judge. properly filled out and duly
signed by himself attesting' that he was
ready whenever Uncle Sam thought he
needed him.
The date OF the Judges birth. as dis
closed on the card. was June 80, 1877.
