' Aa a source of sensational news we regret to report that the Barnes-Roosevelt libel euit la a sad disappointment. After getting all lta men in position, Italy Is ready to move In the war fame. If it ia not in a sUte of "preparedness," It is Its own fault. "On to Yankton!" Is an old slogan. With a rew and vigorous oar behind it and time and tide in lta favor, it should prove a wlnaer this lime., . . ' Every unpunished murder ia blot on the community. But don't let any on pretend that Omaha Is In this respect mora blotted than other cltiea of Us slie. ; The latest Marconi Invention promises to let us look tight through a brick wall and sea what U happening; on the other aide. Oh, listen to the chorua of protests! If put to tbe test no doubt every home would register at least one vote In support of the California woman's assertion: "There la room for Improvement in every father .' The Bonapartea of Spain are rallying to tho colors of Italy Just aa their grand uncle did when he added the Iron Crown of Lombard y to hti collection. . '.'Blood is thicker than water."

The federal court of appeala sustains the rlht of the city of Chicago to censor movlnj pictures. The value of a Judicial club la particu larly impressive when it rapa overreaching greed. . Orders to prepare the state aeroplane ad vancea national preparedness to that extent. But real action awaits the launching of the Salt Creek aubsea terrors and calling the Platte river marines to the colors. Then there will be something doing. , The Nebraska SUte Railway commission com plains that the late legislature loaded it with more work to do, but gave It less money to do it with. Tbe fact seems to be overlooked that the legislature had a democratic majority while tho railway commiaaion is made up of republicans. a.,eitia fiwi m tI7tT?3mmmm' Menstgrior Capet, the celebrated Eliallah divine and orator, lectured at Boyd'a. lie was Introduced by W.

Needhara oa Weat California, street, near lx avaaue, wavta a good German girl for general housework, . Italy's War Pronunciaraento. Italy's formal dcclnratlon of war upon Aus tria will surprise no one the real surprise Is that with circumstances steadily and inevitably bringing it into the conflict It was held back so long. While the war malfesto Is directed at Aus tria alone. It tan be taken in no way than that Italy Is Joining with the powers of so-called entente and making common cause with them as opposed not only to Austria, but also to Germany and Turkey aa well. Further declarations In cluding the other nations In the Italian war op erations msjr be forthcoming, but they are en tirely unnecessary. There Id no such thing with existing conditions as any two of the war ring countries confining their offensive to one another. ' That the terrible European war conflagration bhould have to spread before it can be extin guished Is heart-sickening. Only If the advent of Italy In some Inscrutable way operates to hasten the end and speed the day of restored peace can anyone be reconciled to it. Vital Factors in City Building Let It be kept constantly in mind that there ere two ways of developing Omaha aa an In dustrial center. It Is necessary to attract from time to time new mills, factories and workshops, 1'Ut It Is equally necessary to give the established manufacturing concerns the local support they deserve and the patronage that will enable them to prosper and develop. What makes Omaha l;row is the steady expansion of its various In dustries increasing the number of mechanics, wage workers and other employes, who in turn become the householders patronizing every Una of business and every professional activity. The made-tn-Omaha product of proved merit ahould appeal specially to every Proaha consumer be cause it is one of the vital factors In the upbuild ing of tbe city. . , Foreitration for Nebraska. The Nebraska Academy of Sciences has adopted a resolution endorsing the report of the Nebraska Forestratlon commission and urg ing the adoption of Its recommendations. A copy of this report is not at hand, so that it can not here be discussed, but the subject Is one of Immense Importance to Nebraska. That It has been neglected so long is not especially credita ble to us as progressive people. As far back as ten years ago, C. F. Harrison of York had demonstrated the adaptability of the Jack pine to the climate and soli of Ne braska'a aand hill section. The Inquiry, obser vation and experimentation of the United States Conservation commission established the prac ticability of he forestratlon of a large portion of what Is now waste land In Nebraska. It la possible to make the sand hills bear pine trees and grasses that will render the region availa ble tor grazing purposes far beyond Its present possibilities. The Bee has presented this matter to the public on ,many occasions and has urged it en the legislature as a proper bject for'carefnl, attention. Forestratlon deserves to be- pushed,' because of the good that It contains 'for the' future of the state, but It is for tbe state to assume the expense and responsibility for the direction and care of the enterprise that la greater In its promise than nine out' of ten projects put forward with more of , urgency. The action of the Academy of Science ahould not be permitted to fail with the adoption of the resolution referred to, but should be given such support that when the next legislature meets the subject of forestratlon may be so presented that It cannot be Ignored or pigeonholed. Another Reviving Industry. Reports from various shipyards and ma chine shops along the coasts establish the fact that the marine engineering Industry is in a very healthy condition of activity Just at present. Americana are really entering into ocean traffic again with something like a determination to become a factor In the world carrying trado. The failure of the administration shipping bill In the senate apparently was not fatal to the revival of enterprise along these lines. Numer ous large ocean steamers are under construction bow for American owners, to be added to the cargo-carriers under the American flag, while It Is stated the American line will ask the gov ernment for a loan to construct two ships of the Lusitania type, a matter' which will have to await congressional action. Not alone are the ship builders of the United States busy with orders from American owners, but South American companies are buying many vessels for increasing their merchant navies.' Facilities for docking In many eastern coast har bors are being Increased, and other improve ments and extensions for greater facility in handling ocean traffic are being provided, it appears that the shipping business, seriously oa It has been affected by the war, Is not In n bad way, and that Americans actually are taking advantage of the opportunity to again become a factor In ocean traffic. From a flush and flasny candidate for Unite 1 States senator to a debtor'a prison In New York, measures the toboggan slide of J. Edward Ad dicks of Delaware. In his efforts to attain the former eminence eleven years of his life and approximately $3,000,000 were wasted. Tbe case furnishes another Instance of ambition and fortune overreaching themselves. American hearts surfeited witn sympathy for a suffering old world should not overlook the sorrows of Mexico's revolutionary press sgents. Forced out of the publicity spotlight by more Important events, their grief deserves a sympathetic sob and a tightening of the man tle of silence. Vienna's home guarda are reported to be enthuslaatic over Italy's entrance into the war. Evidently they have not beard the cries of Venetian gondoliers for blood. Herein is the greatest menace to the dual monarchy. The chairman of the Industrial Relations commission appears unable to understand the difference between prejudiced prosecution and impartial Inquiry. Animus gives little weight to an official Inquisition. Bryan-An Intimate Sketch Oawald Oarrlsea VUlard la W. T. Peat. tlTTfKLL, wit what have you got to iay about VV Bryan?" Thla question wae asked by a prom inent business man after ha had reluctantly eonfeaaed that the president's ot and hia entire handling of the German situation had redeemed such "mistakes" aa the tariff bill and tne pol'c toward Mexico and convinced him that the man In the White Houee la in every way equal to the task before him. The question le suggretlve. What is there to say about William J. Bryan today particularly now that his sticking to his desk and abandonment at least for the moment of his Ct.autauqua lectures has deprived the humorous paragraphers and cartoonists of anv excuse for lampooning the secretary of state? Well, there are several answers to bo made. The first Is that whatever may bo the popular Impression In regard to Mr. Bryan, and however numerous hit mistakes of tact and policy, the visitor to Washing ton who has the means to acquire an Inside knowledge aoon finds out that Mr. Bryan has the complete re spect of hts cabinet associates. They all smile at some of hla vagaries and regret some of his non offlrlal activities, but they like him and think well of him nonetheless, rrimartly It Is because of bis Intense loyalty to the president Now, It Is easy to say that a cabinet officer owes loyalty to the president first of all, but there are all kinds and degrees of loyalty. Mr. Bryan's variety is singularly whole-hearted, devoted and faithful. Be tween the two men, so dissimilar In training-, In ante cedents. In mental processes, has sprung up a genuine and affectionate friendchlp. On Mr. Bryan'a part there la the profoundeat admiration for his chief, whose superiority In ahtilty and In literary and po litical skill he most generously concedes. On fir. Wilson's side there Is genuine regard and sincere gratitude for great aid freely given, not only in tho matter of tho currency bill, which stands largely as Mr. Bryan's personal contribution tothe fine record , for achievement of the Wilson administration, but in other legislative matters. Indeed In all matters. It la, of course, a fact that all the most Important steps taken In our exceedingly difficult foreign rela tions durlnfr the last two years have been Initiated and outlined by the president. The future historian of this administration will t sble to make a start ling showing as to the number of notes signed by Bryan wrhlch have been written by Wood row Wilson. We are witnessing. In short, a phenomenon some what similar to that occasionally seen In the British cabinet when the prime minister takes over a given portfolio, whether It be that or foreign affairs or of the wsr office, with this difference, -that the prime minister usually takes over a vacant office. .Mr. Bryan might be said to have voluntarily assumed a position aomewhat approximating that of the British under-secretary for foreign affairs. So far from having any feeling because of the taking over by the president of the composition of the most important notes, which began early In the administration with Mr. Wilson's drafting tho replies to Japan, he has welcomed the president's readlneas to take over this duty, and frequently consults him about minor docu ments, and asks him for aid In licking them Into shape. This the president frequently accomplishes by a mere stroke or two of his pen, for which schleve ment Mr. Bryan's admiration la not concealed. But the very fact that the president, as captain of the ship of state, la In charge of the foreign affairs of the United State makes it all the more unjust when men of the standing: of George W. Wlckersham and others of Ilka caliber unfairly attack Mr. Bryan for the policy of the government In that field of en deavor. If there Is any criticism to be made of the foreign policy, they should at least make tneir charges against the man responsible, who happens to be the president of ihe United States. No one must think, however, from the above that Mr. Bryan la a nonentity or that he falls to make contributions of genuine value at cabinet meetings. He Is forceful and earnest In his presentation of his views, and be has an extraordinary ability to put himself in the other man'a place. Hia. contribution of an Important paragraph to the Wilson note to Ger many Is but aa example of hla useful activities, and hla cabinet associates are still talking In highest admiration of his extraordinary eloquent statement of his views at the meeting on Tuesday at which the note, was agreed to. He) has been scrupulously eager to do Justice to Germany and to have It known that he for on .Is quit aa ready to resent outrages agalnat In ternational law on the part of tho English aa on the part of the Germans. Ha la consistently pacific in hla feelings, and at the cabinet moating threw all his Influence In the direction of being aa lenient with the kaiser's government as possible, and giving It a loop hole through wrhlch to retire gracefully. Hit devotion to principle le remarkable, deaplte hla free-ailver rec ord, and he Is willing to make any. aaortfice for the cause. It Is known that he would not hesitate to run for governor of Nebraska next year If he thought it would help the party, and ha Is eager to make any sac-rifle to aid Mr.. Wilson, because he believes that the president la a sincere democrat with a amair "u" and thoroughly devoted to the welfare of the masses of the people. Mr. Bryan's weaknesses aa aacrwUry of elate are chiefly du to hut lack of education, and particularly to hla lack of experience In administrative office. Until he cam here he was a leader with a never ceaalng flow of language and promise without ever having had the axperlewoa of translating promises and theories into action or legislation. Be waa an agitator, pure and simple self-madw man nd ono, be It noted, who never read a book, but gains his knowledge of political problems and reroedle exclu sively from newspapers, magaslnas and contact with many human beings. Mr. Wilson's great strength lius in hia ability to tackle any great question and com to a finality about It by the application of Intense mental effort trained by years of atndloua and methodical scholarship. Aa a. teacher, he has had to be exact In hla facts. Mr. Bryan knows nothing of that kind of approach to a problem; ho has nerer before had to think Intensively and exactly with tbe knowledge that he will be held reanonalbio for hla utterance. H Is obviously lacking tn taste, breeding and knowledge of the world, deaplLe hla traveling. But this Is off set by his earnestness, his rugged fore, and hla real humility, for that Is the word that best describes his attitude in the cabinet. One has only to think how much mischief Mr. Bryan could do If he were only outwardly loyal, or If he wwr as ambitious aa was Blaine in the same poaltion. to realise the contribution Mr. Bryan la making to the success or the administration. There haa been no aign whatever of any attempt on hla part to build up a political machine or to work for the succession to the presidency. Nor Is there the slightest evidence of any selfish desire to make capi tal for hlmelf or to stay In the limelight. lie doe not cultivate the newspaper men; Indeed he gets on very badly with them. Although there has recently been noted a change for the better In hla attitude toward the correapondenta and his handling of them, the daily gatherings of the newspaper men In hla office have often been rather pitiful spectacles. Mr. Bryan haa ten hostile and dubious of hlraaelf and at 'times easily baited, and aome of the newspaper men of the leas respectable ptesa have readily lent themaetves, perhaps under Instructions from home orfices, to the baiting prooeae. Finally. It must not be forgotten that Mr, Bryan's shortcomings are very human and that many of 'Us qualltiea make a very deep appeal to the great mid dle classes, particularly In the west, who are the backbone and perhaps even the controlling factors. In the republic. However New York and Boston may aneer at him and assert that hla being In the State department Is an offense to the nation, here U a powerful and Impreaalve factor In the administration etrtvtag to do his best according to his limitations. Frequently a lap behind the rest of the administra tion, and even of the developroenta In his own field, often hurt and pun led by criticism, and unable to understand the public faultfinding directed against him. he la still a good American with a far better appradatlpn of national and International bleat than vaat numbera of his critics. And above all, he U playing th gam fairly and sauaswly a beat he can. pulling as steady an oar as possible, and endeavoring le keep the boat speeding along on a straight and even course, even though all th credit therefor should so to the captain and none to him. 033 Not tbe Sheriff Only a onatable. OMAHA, May Jl.-To Ihc Editor of Th Bee: In an excited interview vir the Phone, yesterday, from the sheriffs of fice, Mr. Foster demsnds thst I exoner ate the sheriff as roen ids the Inhuman eviction of the Brad fords. Tuesday, and I hasten to make the smend honorable. "Neither Sheriff Methane nor this office Is responsible for the execution of that writ," declared Mr. Foster, heatedly. "It Is obvious that with all the onerous duties devolving upon this office, Including our trouble with the criminal classes and the Insane, we cannot attend personally to the serving of eviction writs. We leave that to subordinates. Phoulder all the blame In that little matter on Ohio street, where It rightfully belongs upon the Justice who Issued tho writ and th constable, who served snd executed It." I stand corrected. Sheriff McShane was hunting down criminal and attending to the culinary menage of th Douglas county jail. Hla responslbUlUe ar heavy In that direction, and I am th last person In Omaha to add a straw's weight to his burden. The trifling mstter of Intruding upon a dying woman with the merciless hand of the law, and has tening her approach to the other world, because her husband owed their land lord the pltful sum of $10 for a month's rent, cannot be laid at the door of aar but "subordinates." Can any unprejudiced reader tf The Flee tell the friends and neighbor of the Bradford, where the responsibility belong! in this case? Decs It rest upon the Epnets, who persecuted their unfor tunate tenants In every conceivable way, even to ordering the city water turned off, so that the neighbors had to carry It to the sufferer, from their own homes, and take her food to her as wellT Could they have turned out these people with out the sanction of the lawT Ar they alone responsible for the birth of a chUd' to Mrs. Bradford's married daughter be fore the time, because of the excitement of that heart-rending scene and Its al most fatal consequences? Or could "sub ordinates" have acted upon their own au thority in carrying out what thty de clared were their "orders?"' Do mere constables arrive In an automobile, and Issue Imperative Instructions to other "underlings," who obey ' In order not to lose their own official employment? If some ono will kindly elucidate the puxzling Inconsistencies. Mr. Foster tried very hard to make it all clear to me over tho phone, but a merely feminine mind cannot seem to srssp the intricacies of the sheriff's departmental duties and obligations. With the ether witnesses of the outrage, I can see only a Buffering woman, crying out In agony, imploring In vain to be left to die In her own bed. In peace, and aeated tn his automobile a representative of Jie law, callously ordering his underlings to "Hurry up with it we can't fool here all day." ELSJI0 ROBERTSON. That School t'tarebaxck at Florence. FLORENCE, Neb.. May 22.-TO the Editor of The Bee. On commencement night I made a speech before a Florence audience of several hundred people. In which I accused County Superintendent Yoder and W. 1L Thomas of getting -out the vote at our laat annual school alec tlon to defeat W. B. Parks, on of my friends who had served on the board for twelve years, and to elect Mr. Spencer and Mr. Coe with the understanding that they were to drop me from tha schools. There was great secrecy observed and no open Issue made, so they elected their men. Three of the gentlemen named were present at the exercises and had . ample opportunity to answer me before the people of Florence, aa fully twenty minute Intervened between my speech snd the olaas play, which followed. Why did they not answer to tha people of Florence? Was It because they considered the occasion sacred? Not so, for they dis cussed my speech aloud while. It pro gressed and W. II. Thomas showed his great fitness for his position by whist ling shrilly. The reason was that the applause waa thunderous. The people know I am right and showed It In no uncertain manner. These gentlemen knew how futile their denial would be here where the facta ar known. This was a prK-at washing of dirty Unea that waa of interest to the popt of Florence only, but Spencer rushes Into print to defend himself to tho people of the state, who are not Interested either In him or me. His ignorance of our school affairs Is shown in several of hla statements. He said that I had been superintendent of the schools here for six years. I have been here ten year. He said I liad produced discord among my teachers. No man ever had a. mor loyal teaching force. He cannot nam a single grade, special or high school teacher who I not the soul of loyalty. He said I did not treat the board with consideration. There has always been the most cordial feeling be twee a myself and the school board, excepting only Mr. W. II. Thomas, who forced in to sit upon him for trying to meddle with my administrative affairs. If he considers Mr. Thomas the board, then I stand guilty as charged. He also said that the board did not consider me the man for the place. In this again he waa mis taken, unless he and Mr. Thomas ar the whole of a board of six. I do not desire to enter Into a news paper controversy, and expected to meet these gentlemen openly In their own home and have them there defend them selves. The people of .the town are with me and have told me so by score situ? the speech. I desired only to expos th cheap polltk's by which my political enemies hope to remove me from their way. 1 was truly sorry that I waa forcej to use such an occasion for that purpose, but the people of Florence enjoyed It, and no one complained of Its being a dull commencement.
