Does the Lull in Battle Portend Teacel
A recces In the combet on the western front
of the war In Europe gives occasion for sopic
conjecture as to what may possibly ensue a little
later on. 'Will the fighting break forth with
greater fury, or Is the present lull a rrelude to
peace? Some reason, not very tangible, but
Mill a little more than the mere child of a wleh,
exists for thinking that peace Is not so very fsr
away.
Pourparlers have Jeen passing between Eu
ropean nations Involved in the war and the fe
neutrals left; tentative suggestions as to proba
ble terms for settlement have been made, and.
while publicity so far has been given only to the
lesser phases of the correspondence. It Is not un
reasonable to think that the exchange of notes
has a deeper significance. The combatants are
ready for peace, or at least are ready to give
serious consideration to negotiations that may
lead 4e peace. -
Military- operations so far have apparently
reached a deadlock. It Is no longer a question
of preparedness nor training', nor of any of the
preliminary favors of strategy or tactics. The
conflict "he developed a ' situation that has
brought operations almost to a standstill. With
the warriors facing each other over tbe trenches,
the statesmen of Europe may open, a way to the
establishment of peace.
It It Idle to speculate fit this time on what
the basis, of settlement may . be. Each of the
belligerents has. announced what .must tee
brought about before hostilities will be aban
doned, but In each Instance, the. claims are so
comprehensive that it is doubtful if they could
be enforced under any circumstances abort of
the actual crushing of the adversary, which It
not likely to occur. Put, whatever basis may
be finally adopted, It will comprehend a much
higher regard for the rights of others' on tbe
part of all.
. ' Greater Omaha, Problems.
With the advent of the Greater Omaha will
come a number of Greater Omaha problems de
manding early solution.
. ..Soma, of -the problems will be old ones in
larger and more difficult form", while others wlV
be new to us, brought on by the necessary ex
pansion of our municipal activities to cover tho
wider area. . ,
Jf these Greater Omaha problems are to be
dealt with satisfactorily, it Is Imperative to ap
ply breadth pf view and far-sightednese in a
word, to proceed with a full grasp of the subject
rather than with partial or piecemeal plans. It
will be, above all, necessary to realize not only
Omaha's present magnitude, but also its grow
ing possibilities, and to look to tbe future, so
bright In prospect. . ., , .
To solve its problems tbe Greater Omaha
must get away from village methods and village
notions, and bo ready to do business on a bU
business seal. ' , ' '

Keeping Up with the Ei?er.
A boundary commission la asked to' adjust
the line' between the states' of Iowa and Ne
braska, the purpose being to correct certain local
anomalies in Jurisdiction that have arisen by
reason of the shifting ot the Missouri river's
channel. The state boundary does cot automat
ically follow the course of the stream," and the
vagarious performance of the river has been re-,
sponalble for many freak If h situations, inch as
exist here, where a portion of Iowa Is Included
In Omaha and a portion of Nebraska lies contig
uous to Council muffs. 'Local conditions of the
river, with work already done to confine the cur
rent, indicate the permanency of the present
meander, and, therefore. Yor economy and effi
ciency in government. It seems advisable the ad
justment needed to correct the boundaries be
had without too great delay.
'"" Pettineii In Prciecutionl
Frequently it has seemed as if abe limit hud
been reached in littleness of occasion for insti
tuting legal actK, but Nebraska is Just 'now
affordod an example that quite outdoes any of
its former experience in the line.. A complaint
'hat been lodged with the State Railway commis
sion through which the complainant seeka to
prevent a local telephone company from accept
ing or publishing advertisements In Its direc
tory. While tbe value of a telephone directory
aa a medium of publicity is doubtful when newt
paper advertlbing is so much. more effective, It
may well be questioned if any great publle pur
pose can be served by Judicially determining the
point.' Matters of more vital concern are before
tbe Railroad commission, and flti time should
not, be wasted on auch trivial affairs..
Tebtlfylng 'in the unmerglhg suit In' S
rranclwo; " Piesi'dept Krutttcbnltt of . the
Southern Pacific said: ' If the Union Pacific It
gtvru the Central Pacific the Union raciflo will
exercise the moat mouumcntal control of, treat-'
lontioental traffla in the history ot railroading
in America." If the Union Pacific, thus'
equipped, could equal the present " controlling
power of ths Southern Pacific It would hav to
-show more tpeed-than safety warrants.

The Political Caldron

and otherwlie marking tiro, waiting for a word from
7lncoln. - -
A wiM politician said yesterday: '"Taka It from
ma, that If tha legislature ehould poatpona the city
election there will bo nifty legal scrap on. and )t
will bo a cinch that the prenant city rommlwlonors
will hold over three more years. The Stage la beln
set for auch a little drama.".
On tha other side, some believe that th fate 'of
the charter amendments hang upon th paaraga of
an amendment to postpone the Omaha election. An
other lieacre, Juat up from Uncoln, avere that tho
election will not be potrKined. that the opposition had
plenty of time to ret the annexation bill throush In
time to peTnlt tha annexed territory to participate In
tha election now being prepared for, -end a hava
only themaelves to blame. ..'
The' clty commissioners - hav had a acare. even
to the extent that they held an executive meeting to
ronaider tha advisability of stopping their advertising
and publicity wort. . Campaigning, however, goes
merrily en, end the candidates seem to realise mora
than aver that tha nnet medium ot retching the peoplo
Is through the dally newspapers.
Now that the atmoapher ha Jxen cleared to th
extent that annexation will not enter into thta cam
paign, there la a feeling of relief In certain quartars.
For a while soma f the nroapacttv candidate did
not know which way to east their lines In th political
puddla. , '
All anHe of rumors ran rife during the last tew
weeks. Word was received from Bouth Omaha that
thirty-five men In th Maglo City had petitions ready,
so that when annexation should b accomplished, thty
would rush up to th county court noun with thalr,
filing fee and list 'of signatures. It was a ton so
eltuatlon for a whiia.
Tli city hall crowd Is playing a watchful, waiting
game, reaoV for pews of an anti-eiat. They hav
heard that auch . alata is being formed, btit nothing
definite has reached th outsld.
"Who will b th seven men to ha aligned asainat
th commissioners seeking re-election?'' Is th ques
tion of th hour, end there is censlderabl saculaUcm
whether an anti-eUt will be mad In the open or
secretly. In th mesntlm the Individual ctndidates
are sawing wood and plugging hole because the time
Is growing short to tha primary next week.
"In this country faithful public servants are some
times decorated with tha doubla-crose," declared
Hsrry B. Zitnman at an Improvement club meeting.
Mr, Zlmman, who aspire to be city commiaeloner,
related that in Germany heroe of wars ar deco
rated with the Iron Croae. In Krnc the honor -ot th
Ix-glon of Honor Is conferred, and in Great Britain
th Victoria Cros la a coveted prise.
"I am not asking you for tbe doubie-croe, but
would ask that yon give ma a cross on th official
ballot on ' April " waa the facetlou appeal. Tha
speaker added that he has carried the cross for the
paople. and at this time Is deserving ef a cross mark
in return, but does not want the double-cross.

At O'tfelll, Neb., there was once a Tiotel that all

OMAHA. March Sl.-To the Editor of
The lies: In the good old dy of th
parly convention, mwn were nominated
for the city council as republieaug or
democrat and received th endorsement
of tha lawful representative of tha party
to which they belonged. Inferior men
were eouvHIme noartlnsted. yet it must
tie conceded that the delegate convert
tiopn thiew many lev worthy men into
the discard. -
A trial ot tii direct primary ha lad
every thinking man to sea that it was a
mistake to banish th delogat conven
tion.' It is asir for partisan to send
good men as delegate to a convention
thaa it is to select good men for pfflc
when confined to a list of office hunters
whom no man nor set ot men ha en
dorsed. - i
The misuse of the dolegate convention
led , to the nonpartisan Idea of naming
men for city office, and tha idea might
have made good If used by nominating
conventions;, hut tt tan. amuck of th
direct primary machine which turn out
nonpartisan candidates for offlc by the
score. Th fault of this new method
aro so many that they promise to swamp
tha nonpartisan Idea. Just now we have
the edifying spectacle of avn!.y-thre
filings for the dty cwmcll.' These men
hav not been called or endorsed by any
arty convention. Soma of them hav
no party- No party has written a plat
form upon which they may be compelled
to stand. It Is a free-for-all sweepstake,
and the winners will owe their success
to their vote-getting powers. Irrespective
of party principles- Those elected who
fail to make good will pas out of sight,
but no party can be held responsible for
their fallur. Each man la going It
alone. The voters do not know how most
ot them stand on municipal questions,
and some of th candidates don't know
themselves. JThcre Is an elment of Ir.
responsibility her that could not exist
under the party nomination plan-
For these and other reasons, wouldn't
It be well for representative republicans
to get . together and pick out seven re
publicans, if otherwise competent, from
th list ef filings, endorse them as re
publicans and assure the voters that the
republican party stands sponsor for them.
