With so many presidential primary atatea,

The real question Is whether an American
citizen has any rights outside of bis own coun
jj try. when other nations arc at war with one
S another.
True, our Nebraska representatives at Wash
ington make an appearance of keeping mighty
busy, but somehow they do not seem to accom
plish anything worth pointing to with pride.
"One for all, and all for one," the Pan
i American motto, Is comprehensive and appealing.
As the Kantucklan said of Blue Orasa elixir, "It
emells good It tastes good, and, by hevlns, it

OH companies are coming In with Inspection
fees and promises of future good behavior. A
moment's thought should convince the oil men
that digging up affords relief from the monotony
of digging In.
It's a mighty poor public office that can not
uccommodate the incumbent In some ways, and
It would be a shame to disturb the private prac
tice of the United States district attorney for Ne
braska, just to attend to public business.
Pretty soon some one will be blaming th
American tourists marooned In Europe at the
outbreak of hostilities for allowing themselves
to be caught abroad without taking precautions
against the war risk, to which they were exposed.
A Portland police judge has quit bis $3,300
job because he cannot stand it to witness the
misery of the unfortunates coming before him
which be is unable to relieve. Neither of our
two Omaha police judges show any signs of let
ing go for such cause, though neither of these
jobs pay as much as $3,300.
Judge Otry'i Warning.
Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the
United States Steel corporation, warns the peo
ple of the United States to prepare against the
time when the war now raging will no longer
support American Industrial activity at Us pres
ent stage. Similar caution has been given by
others, who foresee the changed conditions that
must follow after peace. It Is not the replace
ment of the billions of dollars of property now
being wasted In the prosecution of the conflict
that must be considered, but the re-establlsh-ment
of the commerce and Industries of the
peoples now engaged In that conflict.
The great economic problem will come with
the beginning of the readjustment of world re
lations. No matter what political circumstances
then prevail, the nations alike will face the ne
ceH"lty of re-entering the race for trade, and
out of this general competition, certain to be
fiercer than any yet known, must spring ex
pedients and devices as aew and startling as
were the weapons of war so suddenly disclosed
to an astonished world. This much may be ac
cepted. The only prudent course for Americans will
be to place themselves In the strongest possible
position. Progress made In foreign fields need
not be absndoned, nor efforts In that direction
lessened, but It is at home the greatest meas
ure of protection will be required. Our home
market, the most attractive In all the world,
must be absolutely preserved for the home pro
ducers. Judge Gary's warning, as well as that
of all who have carefully studied the situation,
points directly to the need of abandoning the
democratic doctrine of free trade.
Senators and Our Neutrality. '
The debate on neutrality In the senate on
Wednesday afternoon served at least to relieve
the pressure on some minds, enabling a few of
the opponents of the policy adopted for the
United States to discharge pent-up feelings. Be
yond this, though, the oratory and colloquies
Incident thereto will have little effect. State
ments made give no evidence of change of heart
on part of any one who took part, and may be
taken as fair Indicative of continuance of per
sonal positions voiced before adjournment last
summer.
Our neutrality aa a nation does not rest on
sentiment, but on justice. Individuals have
their own views, and the utmost freedom In
voicing them, but the nation must bold Itself
clear of any or all favoritism, and bas so far
succeeded In doing so. The personal opinions
of the critics of the course followed by the presi
dent are Interesting as such, but they do not
change the fundamentals Involved in our deal
ings with the belligerents. These have been so
fully, and so capably expounded, that It seems
astonishing senators can be found who will yet
profess to believe In palpable distortion of cold
facta as a condition of proper behavior on our
part as a responsible people.
The debate so far as It progressed will
merely serve to continue the division of opinion
as to the sale of munitions, and gives no Indica
tion as to what may be the position of the de
baters on defense measures.
Harassing Hall.
The state house democrats are spending
their post-holiday season la enjoyment of the
sport of baiting the state treasurer, and pursue
him with the fatuousness that has ever marked
that party's course when it bas bent itself to
blundering. Mr. Hall's offense, heinous from
the view point of his associates in office at Lin
coln just now, has been a due regard for the
constitution and the laws of the state, which the
othef officials find in the way. He declines to
be made the scapegoat for the party's inefficient
administration. A blunder of the legislature,
due to partisan manipulation and an underhand
effort to conceal legitimate expenditures, bas
forced a situation the governor and his coadju
tors have sought to evade by Ignoring a law the
governor helped to pass. To bring this to suc
cess, It Is necessary that the state treasurer ig
nore the letter and the spirit as well of the con
stitution. The situation is typical of democratic
administration, and is not in any way creditable
to the state. It will leave a nasty mess for the
coming republican administration to clean up.

Conscription in England.
The British government has formally em
barked on its newly adopted policy of enforced
military service. While the measure is brought
forward In the name of Premier Asqulth, It will
be generally ascribed to the lory rather than
the liberal Influence. Restricted In Its present
operation, the bill contains the principle that Is
cspable of indefinite extension, and aa such is
certain to encounter vigorous opposition of the
people, who have cherished the privilege of
volunteering for national defense aa a proof of
political freedom.
The last vestige of involuntary servitude un
der the Union Jack was wiped out with the dis
appearance of the navy "press gangs" in the
early part of the last century. Return to the
principle of conscription denotes the despera
tion of the government. The Derby plan has
been reported as having brought to the colors
three million men. The Asquith bill will add
but few to these. If It is carried, and therefore
Ita value, even aa an Immediate expedient, is
questionable. "Slackers'" have always been
present, many of them conscientiously opposed
to war, and 'witling to suffer for conscience's
sake. These will not be stirred Into any ua-'
wonted military activity by any threat of pen
alty under the proposed law, and jails one
filled with Quakers may again be used In Merry
England.
The value of the present movement towards
conscription to fill the ranks of Kitchener's
army Is dubltable, because of the certainty of
revolt, and the consequent diminution of pa
triotic Impulse.

Talking Through Hats
' Bt. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Tha few published remarks President Wilson mada
to members of the democratic national committee but
whet our appetite for those concealed. It Is easy ti
Imagine that tha president explained to his party com
mittee how ha has been deliberately trying to trim bis
administration sails to current breeses. He thinks that
ha has trimmed so much that tha only debatable Issue
left Is the tariff and he Intimates a willingness to re
verse himself on that as soon as he can ascertain jUat
what course will be required at the end of tha war.
In his complacence over his achievements ha said that
tha opponents who predicted hla defeat were talking
through their hats.
Tha hat has furnished politics with Imagery befora.
Tha democrats sought to associate Benjamin Harrlsoa
with his grandfather's headgear. Mr. Wilson ones
singled Mr. Bryan out as the typical unscrupulous
demagogue of America and expressed a wish for soma
way, "at one dignified yet effective, to knock Bryan
Into a cocked hat, ones for all." Colonel Roosevelt's
contribution of a hat to the ring will linger long to
tha memory. Mr. Wilson will not aoon hear tha laat
of his slang Imagery. He has acquired something of a
reputation htmaelf for ualng the ventilation holea in
hla hat for purposes of conversation. He admitted In
his 1H letter to John Brlsben Walker that bis "His
tory of tha American People" was written with Ignor
ance and prejudice of place and that he was not In a
position to think while writing It. He bas confessed
that what he used to say about foreign immigration,
tha initiative and referendum and organised labor
rama through his hat. His New Jersey speech on
tolls, his Harvey correspondence, his "too-proud-to-ftght"
speech, his varying expreaatons about Mexico
and his Inconslatent attitude toward civil service, war
loans, export of arm, public economy and tha binding
fore of platform pledgea prove him almoat a profes
sional hat talker.
On the subject of preparedneaa ha must have talked
through his hat laat December wben ha poked fun at
the "nervous and excited" people who contended that
the country had been "negligent of national defease.
Ho used rhetorical opiates to deaden the effect of Sec
retary Garriaon's annual report of 1914 urging military
preparation. He put bis stamp o approval on Secre
tary Danlela' fatuoua report last year. He baa bean on
both sides of nearly all current problems except tha
tariff, and ha shows signs of flopping on that. The
saddest feature Is that he can never tell whea be Is
talking through bis hat.

OMAHA. Jan. S.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Several years ago the present writer
placed quite a little study on the automo
bile transmission gear. In the study of
tha question I could find no satlafactory
method by which to eliminate the several
sesr wheels, much less to make the shift
from high to low and intermediate with
out the usual whang and Jerk Incident to
the present transmission.
The present transmission Is much Im
proved over the transmission of a few
years ago. But the knock of the sliding
gear Is still In evidence, and a look Into
most any garage will convince you that
tha transmission stilt has Its faults. A
great many of the best engineers of the
country have worked for many years to
eliminate the transmission entirely, and
this might be done were the roads level
and the machine might be started with
out the aid of tha low gear. But like
every other fellow who never knows
how to quit, I took op the subject
again, and now I feel certain that I
have a drive with no gear wheels to
shift, and no peaky knock and Jerk In
getting to high and low. The new trans
mission is much more simple than tha
present one. and tha cost of manufac
turing should he reduced tO per cent,
with no cause for trouble to the driver.
A patent will be applied for on the drive,
and wa will then let the other fellow

Doa't I.Ike Tog-o'-War Way.
OMAHA, Jan. . To the Editor of Tha
Bee: I have been taking quite an Inter
est In tha tug-of-war which ia being held
at the Auditorium this week, and feel
as though It really needa some comment.
In my opinion, I do not think that things
are conducted fairly and squarely, as
they should be. Take, for Instance, the
Bohemian and Irish match on Monday
night. After twenty minutes of hard tus-
eellng, the referee declared tha Bohem
ians the winners. The Irish, however,
protested It, and stated that the anchor
man gripped tha ladder twice and that
he had fouled.. It certainly was a sur
prise to me that an argument should
arise over that, as the anchor man of tha
German team had at various times sup
ported himself so that hla team might
not slip. Why was this not criticised?
I wish to call attention to a fact which
I, aa well as hundreds of others, have
witnessed. Wben tha captain of tha Bo
hemian team waa giving orders to the
team, tho rope around the Irish anchor
man slipped under bis arms and the
captain of their side adjusted It. Now,
If this isn't a foul, I would like to know
what la. However, the captain of the
Bohemian team, not wishing to start an
argument, agreed to have tha teams pull
again, aa ha la a man who wishes to sea
a fair said Just play.
The Bohemian and American match waa
Tuesday night. After almost thirteen
mlnues of hard tuasellng, tha Bohemians
had pulled the Americans two feet over
the line. One of the bystanders' came up
to the referee and said that the Bohem
ian anchor man had fouled by gripping
the ladder. The referee admitted that he
never aaw It, but after a few words
between each other the referee, taking
the word ef the bystander, called It oft
and declared the Americans the winners.
This certainly Is not just and fair. That
very night In the match of the Germans
and Swedes, I have seen, as well as
others, that the German anchor man 'had
twice supported himself by gripping the
ladder, and the third time he even as
sisted himself and team by using both
hands. This, no doubt, waa detected by
almost everyone, and yet no one had
stated that he had fouled. The Swedish
anchor man had also done this once.
Now, why Is it that no word of com
plaint has been brought against the other
nations' anchor men gripping the ladder,
and that tha Bohemian man should be
commented on It both times?
In my estimation, I do not believe they
want the Bohemians to get any honors,
as it surely looks as . though they are
giving them the worst end of the deal.
Of course, they could start an argu
ment, but they are a people who prefer
peace. I want to sea the best team
win, but I wish to say that to be a good
loser Is as great an honor aa to be a
winner. And Tuesday night had proved
tha Bohemians to be good losers. I cer
tainly would like to sea that things were
oonducted mora Just and that no certain
nation would be given preference.
