Ulysses s. Grant.

Today Is the ono hundFsdth anniversary OF

longer perspective will give him even greater
value. |, IS well. at any time. TO study the
career Of this man. who oyefeame adversely aud
who conquered himself thar he might conquer
greater enemy.
The interim between Grants resignation OF
his commission as captain IN the regular army
snd his commission as colonel OF an Illinois regi-
ment OF volunteers was one OF the most inl-
por,ant periods OF his life, lie suffered ma
teriay, being practically discarded by his own
father and the father OF his wife; he ,oiled at
work 'ony fl for niggers." he endured poverty
and priyation, but he overcome, and when he
was called upon to meet his opportunity a,
Henry and Doneson. he was ready.
One recent writer has expressed the thought
that Grant was not called home, as was Lincoln,
when he stood at the pinnacle oi his achievement.
Probably not, but the last hours OF his life were
as heroic as any in all his record. Indeed. many

Lee; not as president OF the United States, sur

he concluded the work that was TO liz, the bur-
den from his family and dispel any possible

greatest battles was fought a, Mount McGregor.
Historians will dispute for long time over
certain points in the public life OF U. S. Grant;
professional soldiers will analyzc and criticize
lis military achievements, but the people OF the
United States will treasure his name as long as
the nation stands, because he did and does in his
person and his memory typify so much that is
truly American.

What Will Mr.. Bryan Sayp

William Jennings Bryan is coming to Ne
braska to make a speech in which his attitude
toward the coming campaign will doubtless be
expressed. 1t may be assumed that this is already
forcshadowed in the letter from C. w. Bryan, in
which the united democracy" keynote was
sounded That, however, opens considerable
field for speculation. Is the Bryan who is COM
ing back to his home people the man who stood
SO long before them the embodiment OF courage
TO battle for principle, and accept defeat rather
than compromise? Is it the Bryan who reso-
utely opposed that element of his party which
he regarded as devoted to the forces of evil; the
Bryan who fought the money power, the saloon,
and all they stood for, whose ideal was the Ame1-
lean home and clean manhood; or is tia new
Bryan, one we have never met. who is ready to
compound with those he has so strongly de-
nounced in other times? If change has come
over the age, it must be in Mr.. Bryan, for the
crew who took such unhoy delight in thwarting
his plans. defeating him and his candidates, is
the same old gang. They haven't changed a hair.
Nebraskans will wonder if the sojourn in the
soft climate of his adoption has so mellowed the
fiber Of the great commoners moral nature that
he will make political expedency his control
rather than stand as he has always, for what
he believes to be right? The Bee, in common
with many other good Nebraskans, is curious to
learn what Mr.. Bryan will say.

Making the Missouri Work.

About the first thing the Mississippi Valley
association heard when opening its session at
Kansas City was this statement from Cleveland
A. Newton of St. Louis:
There is no river in this country the use of
which is more needed to bear its burdens of
freight than the Missouri river from Kansas
City to the mouth. The wheat fields of west
ern Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas produce mil
lions of tons of freight which ought to be
given the benefit of cheap water transportation
over the Missouri and Mississippi rivers out to
the sea, and the flour manufacturers at Kansas
City. ST. Joseph or Omaha ought to be given
the benefit of cheap water transportation down
the Missouri and Mississippi to Cairo and then
up the Ohio to the great flour market in the
industrial fields around Pittsburgh.
Mr.. Newton represents ST. Louis district in
congress, and has raised his voice on the floor
OF the house on several recent occasions in de-
fense Of river. and harbor improvements, and
especially in behalf of inland waterways. Omaha
!. not inclined to be jealous of Kansas City, but,
on the other hand, is willing to cooperate in the
matter of establishing river traffic between Kan
sas City and the mouth of the Missouri. realizing

EndlnQ Seasickness

The adaptation of the gyroscope to the ocean
liner is an old dream of shipbuilding, which
seems at last to be realized. The tests made at
Philadelphia with gyro-stabizer, weighing
120 tons are reported successful, and 1t is an
nounced that the shipping boards steamer
Hawkeye State, which runs from Baltimore to
Honolulu by way of the Panama canal, will be
equipped with the great balancing wheel
steamship which can not roll will be a
godsend to individuals cursed with seasickness:
Some of these persons never dare crossing OF
the ocean: others stick to their berths from port
to port In future, by boarding ship equipped
with the stabilizer, any seagoer, no matter how
wabbly his previous performances, no matter
how deep his past debt to the stewards for keep
ing him alive, may be confident that the horiz0n
will stop its terrible motions.
But when Atlantic steamers no longer roll,
what excuse will there be for voyagers to sip
long glasses Of champagne with cracked ice?-

Papa Jofre Forty Winks.

Marshal Joffre fell asleep at function. His
companion nudged him, he awoke smiled, and
went to sleep again. And thereby proved him
self human being, akin to all the race. Re-
member, the marshal has been on journey of
the world; he has been lionized, and feted, and
is fed up on it all, except perhaps sleep. He has
tried, everywhere but in Omaha, to be good
fellow, to 60 to all the places he was expected
to go to, and do lot of things that are out Of
his line. He can organize victory, issue ringing
appeals to his army. and be a soldier right up
to the limit Yet he gets drowsy, just as the rest
OF us do, when he is tired out and has to sit in
stxfy room, listening to a lecturer drone away
about subject in which he has but slight in
terest. In this case the talk was about Molere,
and perhaps was expected to appeal to the pa
triotism of the famous soldier; doubtless he is
immensely interested in the greatest of French
dramatists but, as already stated he is human
and so he yielded to the irresistible impulse,
closed his eyes and went to sleep. The dispatch
telling of the event does not say if he. snored,
but we hope he did He would thereby have ex-
pressed popular opinion Of Moliere.

Are the Cards Stacked?

Junius writes: "Who is RESPONSE
BILE for the flu epidemic now in
New York. and who will be respon-
sible for 1t when it reaches Boston,
and then throughout the country?
IT have great faith in the United
States health bureau--all bureaus,
for that matter-and in the medical
fraternity. But why, in the name Of
reason, has nothing been done to ar
rest it at the source?
''The minute I read Of the flu
epidemic among the soldiers on the
Rhine I, and probably you, foresaw
it's intercommunicable progress
through France, England. New
York, etc.
"Is commerce so important and
life held so cheaply that we cannot
stop European traffic until such
time as these epidemics have run
their course? Why should business
officials, or private affairs, be al
lowed to endanger our natural isola-
ton?
Il sympathize with the almost i'm
possible suggestion of putting the
bars up, but I can only hold a
hatred for all concerned IL my baby
were to die through any economic
civilization that disregarded every
possible precaution. Life's battles
must be met, but do not want to
fight them with the resignment of a
fatalist; not when the cards are
stacked against the family of the
Workingman."

Americas Foreign Trade.

When everything else is inflated, it was but nat
ura that the foreign trade of the United States
sho0ld have swollen also. The most obvious fact
is the great decline in value both of exports and
imports in 1921 as compared with 1920. In the
flush year the total Of imports and exports was
$l3 900 100000; in the year of dehation, $7,000,
100000. Itis not correct, however, to compare
values, for the slump in prices does not consider
the actual bulk of goods, which did not decrease
to any such extent
Compared with prewar years the value Of 1921
exports and imports surpasses that of any pre-
war record. Exports last year were 90 per cent
greater in value than in 1918. Imports were 81
per cent more than in 1913 which saw the high
est point of import trade up to that time The
balance OF trade which is to say, the excess of
goods shipped out over those shipped into Amer
ica was $1,876O0O0O0 last year. $780, 000, 900 in
1920, and only $471 100000 in 1918. The proper
ton Of imports to exports appears to be growing
less; 80 per cent in 1918, "a per cent in 1920 and
56 per cent last year.
Enough has been shown to prove that those
who say Europe is not buying American products
are mistaken. In the last year the Europe
Mediterranean region took one-half of our ex-
ports and furnished one-third Of our imports. The
value Of our exports to central Europe was larger
last year than before the war
With Americas foreign trade still almost
double that Of before the war; it would be only
natural if, as the process of reconstruction con-
tnues, overseas commerce would decline some
what. 1t would be more helpful if figures could
be compiled on the basis Of tonnage rather than
on fuctuating values-and that would stop
good deal of the calamity propaganda.
