The legion Is supposed to be non-partisan, and to endorse no candidates. While this list Is not, on the face of It, in vio lation of the rules, it la a plain at tempt to elect men who will stand for compensation. As If a politician uad to vote the way he promises. The "intelligent committee" of the American Legion, department of Ne braska, has submitted a report on all Candidates for state, congressional nd legislative offices. The report hows that most of the candidates took part in hove activities and "helped to win the war." Evidently the committee Judged the candidates principally on their attitude toward the compensation bill, favored by the league, and the record that that the majority of them are In favor of It. The Republican gubernatorial candi dates have a pretty fair record. Five et them either were in the flervice, tried to enlist or advocated or signed the iman language bill, which seems to have been taken as a test. The Democratic candidates for governor are not so fortunate. Shumway and Clark are given as favoring the sold iers' compensation bill, but Jackson nd Morehad are down as lukewarm. Sixth district congressional candi dates, Beam and Klnkald, are in favor of compensation, but the first la down as a non-partisan leaguer nd the second as having voted gainst the declaration of war, the es pionage act and the draft bill. The Uerald's editor, a member of the The highjackers have changed their base. Iustead of confining their efforts to the cities, they are now making Inroads Into the smaller totwns, and Droken Bow reports the robbery of a drug store in that city by men who were undoubtedly searching for booze. The druggist Is a mighty mean man, though, for he has passed the word about that in stead of stealing booze, the thieves had made away with grain alcohol containing a deadly poison corro sive sublimate. And then, tot make the highjackers more uneasy, this druggists states that this poison Is a slow one It may not show its ef fects for days. If the thieves have swallowed any of the stuff, they'll be In deadly mental torture for the next two weeks, whether the druggist was spoofing or not. For our part, we see no reason why perfectly good alco hol should be ruined with bichloride of mercury, but druggists are pecu liar people. Some fiery Britons declare Europe will not submit to the financial ty ranty of the United States, the Infer ence being that America Is selfish and grasping in refusing ot lend any more money to Europe. There seems to be an Idea "over there" that they have every right to our cash because they need It In their business. There a rent's any signs present out our way that a depreciated foreign exchange has brought down the price of foods, but, at that, one can be tickled to death If he wants to, we suppose, that It didn't go up. An exhibit opened In ' Chicago showed novelty goods largely of American make. Before the war Germany was making these goods to be sold here. The war has developed a reliance on our ability to supply all our own wants, which Is another blow at the business supremacy the war started to establish for Its authors. HELL ESTATE THANSFERS.
