European Interest.
European Interest In adjustment of our
troubles with Mexico proves to be greater, and
moro keen, than was expected. Under the com
mon acceptation of the Monroe doctrine, Eu-
pean powers look" to the United States as a sort
of guarantor of international obligations of the
Latin-American republics, Including Mexico.
Almost all of them, too, have various Irons of
tholr own In the fire In other parts of the world,
so that the precedents now set by the United
Statos may come Into play for them should sim
ilar occasion arise, Outside of these Interest,
and a natural desire for restoration of peace
and resumption of Industry In Mexico, the Eu
ropean countries are not particular who occu
pies tho Mexican national palaco, whether a fed
eral or a constitutionalist, a successful military
traitor or a villainous bandit. Wo have no doubt
they would prefer the installation nn Amer
ican governor general, or at least would enter
no objection to It. It is well to remember that
each move and turn in the Mexican stluatlon is
being carefully watched by overy European gov
ernment, and nothing of advantage, or disad
vantage, to them allowed to pass unnoticod or
unnoted.
Alfalfa as a Soil Doctor.
An exchange pointing out the virtues of al
falfa as a fertiliser for tho soli observes that It
adds humus, Increasos tho milk flow, contains
more protein to tho ton than clover or corn and
makes tho best of hog pastures. These are
what might he termed by-products of a crop
which stands first In the list of forages. Al
falfa needs no champion In Nebraska, whero
several cuttings a year are helping to enrich
many farmers. Nowhero Is It produced with
better results than In this state, and tho soonor
Its cultivation Is extended tho better.
In listing the virtues of nlfalfa folks often
forgot that nothing but orange blossoms sur
pass alfalfa blooms In the production of honey.
That, Is an accepted fact In California as well
as our own state, whore the honey-bco business
ImB come to rank among the leading Industries.
But Just now with tho meat supply dwin
dling, consumption Increasing and prices ascend
ing, one of tho strongest appeals alfalfa can
make is as tho best and cheapest feed for live
stock. It not only yields from two to three
times as much In volume as clover or timothy,
surpassing thorn in Comparative value, but out
classes both as feed. A plant crop of prime
excollcnco for live stock and at tho same tlmo
a unique soli doctor Is an asset of highest valuo.
Our Worst Foe in Mexico.
For every American soldier killed on the
battlefield In our former war with Mexico, It Is
said seven died of disease contracted In an un
sanitary country. In addition to these 12,000
woro invalided home bocause of dlablllty, duo
in many cases to dlscaso Instead of shots and
shells.
No ono will protend that our own army was
as carefully safeguarded then as It Is now
against tho ravages of disease. Tromondous
improvement has boon made in this respect, es
pecially In the last few years. Every posslblo
procautlbn Is takon, not only In periods of war
faro, but In times of peace to secure tho phys
ical wolfaro of our sodlory, and romarkablo
results have been achloved. But how about
'Moxlco? What has It done In these sixty-eight
years to improvo its sanitary conditions? Vory
little has boon done along theso lines in any
or tho semi-tropical roglons immediately to tho
south of ua except by tho United States Itself.
In Porto Rico, Cuba and Panama amazing re
sults have been accomplished. These coun
tries, for years tho by-word for gormatlc dis
eases, are today In parts, at least, exceptional
from a sanitary standpoint, as a result of Amer
ican occupation. The same sort of Improvement
was -wrought In the Philippines. It Is a fact
that wherever American Influence extended, the
physical as well as the political and Industrial
conditions of tho country have beon trans
formed. Whllo pneo moro cultivating hope of peace,
we may do well to romember that if war must
como tho worst foes our soldiers will have to
overcome In Moxlco will bo the seml-troptcal
maladies.
Conservatism of the Law.
The conservatism of the law is being dailv
exemplified. A latest pointed object lesson
comes from a case Just heard In Lincoln, which
reminds us that the law dates from the days of
the ox teams and crossmark signatures, and has
not yet caught up with the aire of electricity
vln this instance a draft upon a Lincoln bank by
i .. , . .. .
yuo ui us curroBjiunuem uftUKB, since laileu, was
acceptod by a third bank on telophonlc assur
ance that tho bank making the draft had ample
money to its credit to pay It. When presented,
tho bank failure having occurred In tho lnter
val.'payraent was refused, and by instruction of
the court a vordlct Is returned In favor of the
defendant bank because Its acceptance was by
toIoph6.no and not in writing. Now, this i
doubtless good law, but it is not good banking
to wait for tho slow course of the malls when
an Instantaneous telephone Is handy. So be
cause the law and tho telephone are npt yet lu
accord, tho burden of the loss on the draft, that
was good when received, but not an ennd whn
presented for; payment, Is shifted from ono bank
to another.
South Omaha is holding a raunlclDal election
to choose members of tho School board, only.
On that theory Omaha should have had a School
board election last November In anticipation of
the terroB of one-third of tho members expiring
tho first of the year. The consequence is that
at the next election In Omaha tho voters will bo
called upon to choose practically a complete new
School board.
A Lincoln preacher, sermonizing right un
der tho shadow of Falrvlew, is quotod as saying
'"Mexico needs a thrashing, and tho sooner tho
United Btates docs Its duty, the better." It Is
sad to contemplate what faint Impression our
greatest peaco apostJ6 has made on his own
home town.
All these piker explorers, ethnologists and
anthropologists will please take notice that the
new race last discovered Is the real one, still In
la the pristine glory of lu native heath, unfet
tered by oven so much as a wreath or rosea or
a thatch of feathers, not to mention a girdle of
palm leaves.

Letter of Pnlltlcal Heathen.
MEXICO.
SOMBWHERK, April SS.-To the Kdltor
of The Bee; With your kind Indulgence
1 will pen a few articles on the Mexican
situation. To fully understand It, one
must travel back to the days when
Mexico was a vlccroyalty of Spain. Wo
hear on every hand that tho Mexican
are Incapable of self-government. (Judg
ing by some of the fellows who are ex
alted to high office, we Americans should
withhold criticism on that score.) W
forget that from the conquest of Cortex
to the third decade of the eighteenth
century Mexico existed for tho benefit
of Spain. For nearly SCO years she was
governed by unprincipled viceroys. The
first was Anthony Mendoza, sent out by
Charles V In 1S35. The last was John
O'DonoJu, sent out by Ferdinand VII In
1S23. Between the two dates, there were,
just sixty viceroys, as I now remember,
making an average reign of five years
each. A Spanish viceroy was like a
Roman proconsul; he was expected to gt
tlch out of his province. His royal mas
ter cared not what he did so he returned
the proper amount to the royal treasury
nt Madrid. Among these viceroys of
Mexico there was occasionally Judged
by tho standard of the race and of the
time a fairly decent fellow. Hut most
of them were of the type of Salluat,
Verres and Catiline of classic Infamy.
Tho inquisition was established In Spain.
No priest and no soldier could be prose
cuted In a civil court. As most of the
crimes were committed by the soldiers
and halt the extortions by the clergy,
the poor layman had little hope of redress
tefore courta-martlal or curia eo
deals. He was kept In wholesome re
straint by tho fear of hell fire, and by
the promise of beatific reward by the
fellows who dealt In futures. The klnir
or viceroy, of course, not he, could be
held to answer before a civil court.
Kings are In place of gods; remember
then
They answer to the gods and not to
men.
When ono sees state and church In
partnership, ono Is reminded of two
drunken fellows treading a highway lean
ing together, each trying to hold tho
other up, for a mutual benefit.
During the 300 years of the vlccroyalty
no native of Mexico was allowed to hold
any office whatsoever. The people were
purposely held In Ignorance by their mas
ters. Ability to read and wrlto was con
fined almost exclusively to the priests
and Spanish office-holders. Tho arch
bishops, bishops and most of the priests
were Spanish born and Spanish bred. The
prlent had his head shaved to represent
tho crown of thorns and rqdo an aa In
Imitation of tho historic entry Into Jeru
salem, Rut here ended his emulation of
tho Lowly Nazarcne.
The native Mexican was simply a bap
tized pagan. Ho could repeat his cate
chism like a parrot. But the beautiful
service of Corpus Chrlstl was to him but
the worahlp Of a wafer Ood. The ec
clesiastics were blind to many Acteo
superstitions, rites and, ceremonies re
tained by their devotees.' Tho revenue of
the church was the sine qua noh.
Is It a wonder that a people emerging
from three centuries of worse than
Egyptian darkness', whose ancestors for
nine generations had been allowed to take
no part In their own government, were
Unfitted to govern themselves? What
wonder that from 1823 to 1871 Mexico, had
fifty-five presidents, two emperora and
a regency? DKR HEJIDE.

Foreign Blood Heroes
Speech Delivered by ConsrreMman
Adolph J. Sabath of Chicago in the
House of Keprcientativci Lost Week
Mr. Speaker, shortly after the first news was
flashed from Vera Cruz that for the purpose of up
holding the honor and dignity of the American fla
our fleet had commenced the taking of that port, we
nave oeen iniormcd that In that cause four American
boys have lost their lives. Only three names of
inoso who nave rallen In upholding the respect and
honor of our country were given. The fourth waa
designated as "name Unknown." But he la not un
known any longer. His name was Samuel Melsen
borg, who, however, enlisted under the name of
Samuel Martin. He was a boy of Jewish parentage.
from my district of the city of Chicago. This
brave and courageous young man enlisted under
the assumed name, as many other young men of
foreign birth have done. In order to escape tho
prejudice which frequently exists In certain branches
of the service, and which I hope and trust will be
speedily eliminated, especially when it has been
demonstrated again and again that it Is uncalled
for and Unjustifiable.
Though I deplore exceedingly that any Uvea had
to be lost, and that moro may yet be lost, still I
must at this time admit that I am gratified that
among the first four who have given up their
lives for the honor of our country is a boy of
Jewish birth, of my own city, and that wo of the
other three young men are of .orelgil-born parents.
This clearly proves, as I have always maintained,
that the foreign-born people are, and always will
be, appreciative of our free institutions, and are
ready and willing to defend them with their lives
as readily and willingly as any who aro able to
point with pride to a long line of American an
cestors. Though 1 am personally strongly opposed to war.
and hope and trust that It will not be necessary
for us to take further and more stern measures
In order to compel respect for our flag and our
country and to convince the Mexican people that the
step which we have taken Is in the best interests
of their unfortunate, war-ridden country, torn by
Internal factions and strife, still, if war mutt come,
I feel confident that our country that my country-
can depend with equal safety and confidence upon
those citizens of foreign birth fully as well as upon
those more fortunate American-born citizens.
This Is borne out by tho very first report re
ceived from the scene of activities at Vera Cruz,
Just as It Is borne out by the very first reports
which reached us at the opening ,of the Spanish
American war, when the name of a Jewish young
man, Maurice Jusltl, a sergeant, of ' Ean Francisco,
led the list of those who gave up their Uvea In the
Philippine Islands for the cause of his country.
Further proof of my contention and my confi
dence In the foreign-born citizens Is found In the
fact that among the names of the twenty young
men who have been seriously wounded In the taking
of Vera Cruz I find the names of two other Jewish
boys Nathan Schwartx of New York City and Oeorge
Maurice Davidson, late of the city of Chicago
clearly demonstrating that my city and ray state,
which I have the honor In part to represent, and
my people and boys of foreign-born citizens of all
nationalities are now at the front ready and willing,
as I have stated, to dofend and protect with thelt
lives thA honor and dignity of our country and our
flag. Notwithstanding this, we will find some gen
tlemen on the floor of this house questioning the
patriotism of those who have been admitted as aliens
to our shores.
But, Mr. Speaker, this Is not the first time in
our history that tho Jewish people and the foreign
born citizens have demonstrated that they are
always ready and willing to take up arms in the
causo of the land of their adoption.
When this same port of Vera Cruz was taken
in 1848 it was the uncle of my colleague, Mr, Levy
of New. York, Captain J, Phillips Levy, who was
one of the first to land and who was made captain
of the port.
The Jewish citizens have at all times displayed
earnest deVotion, faithful service, courage, and
bravery in the defense of their country. They took
part in the earliest struggle for Independence, and
we continue to find their names linked with those
who are struggling to solve the mighty problems
which so nearly concern our nation.
Historical data will show that a very large num
ber of them have aided in every conceivable way
not only on the battlefield, but In a financial way,
many of them having come "forward with their entire
wealth to aid the continental army in the hours
of lta greatest need.
Everyone who is acquainted with the struggle
for our Independence must be familiar with the
great service rendered by Hayn Solomon, who was a
friend of General Washington, fallow countryman
and associate of General Pulaski, and friend of
Kosciusko. Not only did he give his valuable serv
ices, but he sacrificed his entire fortune for the
cause.
At some future day I shall, with the permission
of this house, give a list of the many hundreds of
Jewish and other foreign-born citizens, soldiers,
sailors, and marines, who have served our country
with distinction both as privates in the ranks and
as officials in our war for independence, in the war
of 181?, and in all subsequent conflicts, hoping
thereby to show that they are not neglectful of
their duty toward their country, but are desirous
of serving It in times of war as well as In times
of peace,
Mr. Speaker, a few minutes ago I was handed a
new list of the dead and wounded, and again find
in that list of honor the names of I O. Friede.
another Jewish boy, and Frank Dvor)ch-Drovak, a
Bohemian-American boy.
Among those seriously wounded appear the names
of H. 3, Kaplan. W. Powkowskl, II. E, BoByle, Louis
Kwtplch, M. Fitzgerald, and Harry J. Reed, .of Chi
cago, which demonstrates that my city has so far
furnished Its quota of those brave men who have
fallen in the very first struggles in the cause of
our country and that the names of the Jewish boys
head the list of the dead and wounded, and the
brave Irish, German, Bohemian and Polish-American
people are giving In ungrudging measure their blood
in the cause of their adopted country, and can be
depended on, come what may.
