Perhaps It would be more appropriate to pic
ture our law-maker as "the bill jugglers."
Greater Omaha Assured.
Jty the acceptance of the amended consoli
dation bill by both houses of the legislature,
sending the measure to the governor, who will
no doubt approve, the long awaited merger of
city and suburb Into a Greater Omaha seem
to be assured. A few preliminary ateps will
ntil! remain, which, however, should be com
paused without meeting serious obstacles.
It is not the disposition of The Dee to shout
before out of the woods, yet It cannot refrain
from self-congratulation, and congratulation of
those who have been Instrumental with us 11
promoting this end. The chief congratulation,
It goes without saying, belongs to the people
-whose future Is bound up In the Greater Omaha
to be to all of them, no matter what part of
the consolidated territory they live In.
The Bee has courageously and consistently
urged and advocated the movement for Greater
Omaha In the only practical way for Its success.
Its Imminent achievement cannot fail to stimu
late the city's progress and business expansion,
if our people will but wake up to and seize the
larger opportunities that are sure to be theirs.
In the meantime, Omaha's military posts are
awaiting re-occupatlon by the troops still on the
border.
Some other Nebraska statesmen might also
be willing to move to New York for a UC.OOO-a-year
Job.
Governor Morehead Is painfully precipitate.
He might have given those lobbylHts time to doll
up their Innocent faces before holding up the
mirror. 1
Those big blackmailing conspirators la the
nets in New York sh6uld have operated la Ne
braska, where shake-down lawyers seem to bo

iiothlng to prevent the voters from doing the
withdrawing for them. . ; ' . :
The pressure of public business promises to
keep our law-makers running for commissioner
ship Jobs at Lincoln during the preliminary cam
paign. Gee, but that's tough! ' ,
ft is possible to fool with state laws, county
laws and city laws, and get away with the goods
occasionally. Doing a like Job with Uncle
yarn's laws rarely escape collision with a bu
taw,
But why' do those eblf-styled organs of re
form coantve with their silence in the desperate
efforts of the sheriff, and his hired lobbyist, to
break Into the county treasury again by the J all
feeding route?
But the biggest boost of all for "Prosperous
Omaha" would be to Mason forth to the world
consolidation with the suburbs into a Greater
Omaha of nearly 200.000 population, that would
put our tlly iu Hie rauk where It belongs.
Every Douglas county taxpayer is opposed to
ihe Jail-feeding graft except those who hope to
have a hand In the divvy or are In some way In
fluenced by the grafters. Why do not the other
Omaha newspapers Join The Bee to stop thW
Meal?
Will Great Britain Go Dry?
David Llo'yd George has startled Great
Britain on so many occasions that his present
demand for the suppression of public sale of
llguor In the United Kingdom will not carry with
It the sensation It might had it been made some
months ago. It is of chief importance because
,lt will bring home to the people of England Just
a Utile more closely that they are engaged In a
war which Is disturbing the comfortable routine
of their well ordered lives. The chancellor Is
impelled not by any high motives of reform, but
makes bis demand in order that workmen may
be secured to mend battleships and produce new
weapons of war.
Application of prohibition as a step to stop
the British workman's long established custom
of spending a large proportion of bis time in
making merry may result in complications that
even the seal of a very efficacious cabinet officer
cannot readily overcome. The British notien of
liberty Is quite different from that pertaining In
Russia, or even France, and while the csar might
by executive order discontinue the sale of vodka,
it may well be doubted if the people of England
will patiently submit to such exercise of regal
prerogative, even as a war measure. It Isn't so
very long since the "tight little Isle" resounded
with a campaign slogan that emphatically said.
"D n the eyes of oo never rles to deprive the
poor man of hta beer." An election turned on
that, and a cabinet went down In chorus of the
bibulous. Lesser Issues have been occasion for
civil war in England.
The matter Is another of the queer turns
taken as a result of the war, showing how dis
turbing its effects have already been on what
teemed to be fixed and definitely settled customs
and manners of the world. Even greater
changes in the old order may be looked for.
The Governor and the Ladies.
Again has the somnolence of the state house
been disturbed by what almost amounts to a dls
pute Involving the veracity ' either of the gov
ernor or of a group of fair ladles who are banded
together in the cause of votes for women. These
ladles sought executive disapproval of measure
designed to mutilate the law regulating the
hours of labor for women In Nebraska. The
governor, having already attached his signature
to the measure, engaged In "a colloquy with the
delegation, during which some frank views con
cerning the general qualifications, or lack of
such, of the legislators were emphatically ex
pressed. These undignified proceedings coming
to the attention of the gentlemen of the pres3,
ever present on such occasions, publicity fol
lowed, and mucfi .uneasiness in the executive
chamber. The governor hurried over to the leg
islature td Inform that august body that the
opinions quoted In the press were not his, and to
Indulge In some further animadversion concern
ing the lobby, and especially the feminine lobby,
and more especially that portion of It which is
connected with the pay Toll of the state. By
thla meant the governor has brought the matte."
very closely home to one woman. Her rejoinder
is yet to be made, but it will doubtless be worth
reading when It does come. In the mettntlme,
the democrats are preserving their dignity at all
hazards, even f they have to fight the women
folks to do It.

Mt '.ly a hat the old water company wanted, and
in practice It operated to mulct the taxpayers to

Fremont Tribune: The Schoolmastera" club seems
to be elected a goat by the Omaha papers. At Its last
meeting a few days ago It was published that Stats
Superintendent Thomsa had made application for
membership and that he had been rejected., The truth
Is, according to one of the members of that dis
tinguished if not now notorious club, there waa no
application for membership from Mr. Thomas and
absolutely no consideration of the subject Mr.
Thomas haa achieved tho position of state superin
tendent partly on the strength of his alleged treat
ment by tha Schoolmasters' club and he Is sensibly
trying to forget It, that harmony may prevail In
school circles. The club Is also anxious to forget it,

LINCOLN, March 30-To the Editor of
The Bee: 1 would like to submit to the
citizens of Nebraska a few remarks In
regard to the female labor law, whlrh
wss signed by the governor, and which
puts Nebrsska far behind tho progres
sive states of the union In labor legisla
tion, and even behind most of the Euro
pean countries The bill means to elimi
nate all cities under 6.000 from the nine-
hour-a-day female labor law, which was
a great credit to the state, and the
preservation of womanhood, and now Its
repeal comes as a thunderbolt at a time
when Nebraska ranks high to the legisla
tive end financial affairs of the United
States.
Thlb law means that the owners of
laundries or other Institutions employing
female labor can locate an office In cities
over 6,000 and move their factories to the
small suburb, and work the women as
many hours a day as they see fit, and
the women and girls will have ao protec
tion. It Is no wonder to my mind that
Miss Eaves and others entered a protest
against this said vicious bill which the
governor haa signed. The people of Ne
braska, especially the laboring people,
should Insist that the democratic legisla
ture carry out the promise of. their plot
form, which waa in favor of an eight
hour law. FRED EISSLER.

ST. PAUL, Minn., March S.-To the
Editor of The Bee: The British govern
ment will make no modification in Its
-paper wocKade policy, although our
president haa entered his protest sgslnst
It. Those Englishmen have probably made
not of his correspondence with the vari
ous Mexican bandits and know that he
cannot do anything woro than write an
other letter, which might, perhaps, hurt
their feelings, but would neither cripple
nor kill anybody or anything.
History shows , that protests and
monstrances emanating from Washington
carried more weight In former times.
w hen Napoleon III waa politely and
diplomatically Informed that the Mexican
climate might become decidedly unhealthy
for French .soldiers, he took the hint and
moved out wtth commendable prompt
ness and dispatch. It tha - wonderful
policy of "watchful waiting" had been
Invented fifty years ago and adhered to
ever since, Maximilian would have been
emperor of Mexico today and would prob
ably ' have added Central America,
Panama and the canal tone to his domain

that none of the present day bandit gen
eral would have gone unhung aa th,y

Argentina, in nis honor, president llson ex
pressed the opinion that a warmer feeling is
growing between the republics of. North and j
South America, and that he hoped to see them
welded in such close bonds of friendship at will
hold tbem solid fy together. Mr, Wilson's lan-
! guage is tuch as would leave the Inference In the
mind of a casual observer that this community
of interest Is a recent discovery, and that it Is
being carefully fostered by the democrats aa a
part of a policy orlgtual with them. This re
markable assumption of credit la but a part of
a program which has been steadily claiming for
the present administration most of what hat
been accomplished in late years by the repub
licans. s
During the campaign of 1912, and following,
the democrats hooted at "dollar diplomacy," and
scoffed at all the republicans had done to brine
about a better understanding between the United
States and it neighbors of the three Americas.
When. In James G. Blslne entered the cab
inet of President Harrison he undertook to bring
the American republics Into closer political and
commercial communion through hit policy of
reciprocity. This was later nullified and prac
tically eviscerated by a democratic congress, ct
which William Jennings Bryan was a distin
guished member. Fret!dents McKlnley, Roose
velt and Taft each made the matter of relations
with tbes neighbors a prominent part of his ad
ministrative program. It waa derided by the
democrats aa "dollar diplomacy," but it meant
an extension of trade and a wore cordial under
standing between the people. ,
Now the democrats see me value oi the wort
they ridiculed, and, seeking to reap where they
have not sown, applaud tbe president a ben Le
borrows republican precedent In order to parade
himself as a far-seeing statesman.
