I The Certifies t-of.DToiit Plan.
The exsmlnation just made by the state au
ditor discloses, we believe, for the first time,
funds In the custody of the state treasurer In
the form of certificates of deposits Instead of
merely hank credits under the depository law.
The auditor does not dispute the legality of this
procedure, but ventures to say that "it is ap
parent at least some of tbe Nebraska banka are
willing to pay more than 3 per cent Interest on
state funds if left undisturbed for alx months or
more," and he suggests adoption of what la
known as the "Ohio plan" allowing the banks
to bid for depoHlts, with the understanding that
the deposits of those In the banka paying the
lowest rates be the first onea checked out. Re
calling how short a time It baa been alnce our
state funds were farmed out for the private
profit of whoever happened to be treasurer, the
effort to make this money bring the best re
turns to the taxpayers is certainly laudable. But
we do not believe additional legislation is nece
sary. for no treasurer will ever get Into trouble
by honestly handling tbe public funda for the
best lntereeta of the taxpayers.
But if the certlflcate-of-deposlt plan la good
for the etate treasury, why la It not also rood
for our county, city and school treasuries? Our
home-rule charter, framed three year ago, had
that very plan Incorporated Into It, and we eee
no reason why even now the permanent balances
could not be deposited for definite periods.
Care In making these deposits ao that the certi
ficates expire in proportional . amounts from
month to month, would easily forestall the pos
sible objections to tying the money up at times
when needed to meet current demanda. If the
certiflcate-of-deposlt plan would be an Improve
ment over the preaent system, we know of no
reason why It should not be adopted.
"Hocking the Boat."
Missouri democrats In congress are giving a
n ost remarkable exhibition of hysteria Just
now, with their clamor for theconslderatlon of
tbe McLemoro resolution, the purpose of which
la to thrust Into the congressional debate tha
negottatlona the president la engaged In with
the belligerents. Tbe president's plea for pa
tience ,1a unheeded by these men, whose agita
tion can only make the problem more difficult
of solution. In spite of the gravity of the sit
uation, the pacifists are seemingly bent on to
fcrc some action which the president haa de
clared would be unneutral. This determination
e not lessened by the conduct of belligerents,
who have slyly participated in a discussion that
1 embarrassing to the government of the United
8tatea.
If the movement Involved only the single
point of warning Americana against taking pas
sage on armed ships, except at tbelr own peril,
the question would be almple enough. The
McLemore, or any similar resolution would.
however, open the way to the continued
aggreaslon of all belligerents. To giro way on
the rights of neutrals on a single point means
that In time all neutral rtghta muat be fore
gone. The one way to preserve our rights la to
atand firm for them with all. It la worthy of
note, too, that President Wilson, in this serious
situation, tlnda hla chief opposition In hla own
party where patriotism baa no appeal to
polltlclana who seek personal advantage.
Outlining the Haval Program.
Rear Admiral Badger baa given the houao
committee on naval affaire a comprehanalvo
notion of the definite problem that confronta
congress In the matter of providing for the
needs of the navy. That the country's develop
ment haa far outrun the preaent establishment.
or the program of ,a few years ago, la tbe moat
salient feature of tbe proposition. Our navy of
the future must be built on world requirements.
and not merely for the defense of seaports at
home. Tbla phase of the problem looms bigger
each day. None will longer deny the increased
importance and responsibility of tbe United
Btatea aa a world powet. We are to have a
ench larger share In the affairs of the world.
political aa well aa economical, In the future,
and we muat be raady to asaume and properly
support that position.
The preaent war baa more than Justified the
naval preparation made by Great Britain. To
share with John Bull the dominion of the aea la
necessary for our commerce, unleaa w ara con
tent to trade on terms prescribed in London.
This can only be done on terma of equality, and
for this reason, more than any other, our navy
must be such as will competently represent the
dignity and importance of the United Statea
anywhere.
"Progreuive" Legislation.
Much la being said preliminary to the
primary campaign about the failure of "progres
sive" legislation In Nebraska. It la charged
that varioua agencies bt ainister Influence have
thwarted the passage of meaaurea needed for
the relief of the people, and that tbla menace
must be done away with permanently. It would
be Interesting to know just what these "pro
gressive" measures are.
Within tbe last ten years the Nebraska leg
islature has adopted as comprehensive a pro
gram of reformatory and progressive legislation
as can well be conceived. Beginning with the
fight for reform of the revenue laws, cham
pioned by The Bee alone for years, and finally
won, and continuing down to the late session,
record of the lawmakers of Nebraska baa been
steadily on tbe forward movement Laws to
curb and regulate corporationa have been made
effective, and a law to restrict the activities of
tbe lobby la In force. The state-wide primary,
the aelectlon of United 8tatee senators by direct
vote, the referendum and the Initiative, work
men's compensation, child labor, woman's prop
erty rights, "blue sky," end an endless list of
such laws hare been enacted and are in fore.
The only backward steps have been taken by
tbe democrats, who have modified laws passed
by the republicans. The defeat of woman's suf
frage waa by the people, not by the legislature.

not progressive lack support la fact

Machinery for Making
The Best Tariff
-fne Amertoaav
A MONO all the rraat nations of the world customs
tariffs have been a reasonably true expression of
popular buatneaa attitude toward foreign com
merce and an Indication of the prevailing opinion
among the people of any country what part foreign
oommerce) ougfit to be allowed to play In the whole
buslneaa of tholr nation. There lan't any such thing
In existent reality aa a scientific tariff anywhere;
tariffs are essentially a matter for exercising plain
buslneaa ahrewdnea about. A certain measure of aye
tern la nearly alwaya used In gathering Information
before a national tariff la made, hut In the end It Is
Plain bualneea judgment that haa decided the fixing of
classifications and duties and In forming the broad
policy underlying the schedules of any tariff. This
buslneaa judgment haa hewn human, and not neces
sarily correct. Radical differences of opinion have
been fought over and sometimes forcibly settled In
coming to a decision, but. looked at aa a final product,
In the Instance of every great nation the tariff reflects
prevailing Judgment as to what the natlon'a beat policy
ahould be. In lta particular clreumatances and looking
at the whole nation as a business unit. In buying and
selling over Its borders.
Now the war, which haa brought the Imminence of
a situation of emergency that demands, at once, cart
ful preparation for the best possible handling of cur
tariff In case of a trade war following the making of
peace, haa brought at the same time clearly into view
several ruling facts about International commerce that
were never seen so clearly before. The fact that com
merce between natlona muat be trade, fair and evenly
balanced exchange of values to mutual advantage,
and that there Isn't any laatlng or sound baals of com
merce In an attempt to sell and not to buy or do some
thing that Is the equivalent of buying, has been made
very clear In the year and a half of war. That would
seem to point favorably to free trade or to reciprocity
of a generous, free-handed kind as a good element In
any nation's commercial policy. But, on the other
hand, there Is a disposition showing all ever the world
to make provision for eeonomlo Independence through
the fullest possible all-round development of Industries.
It has been said that no other nation has ever haj
a tariff commission. Other natlona have, however,
pretty good machinery for maUIng tariffs of the kind
that la wanted, and for furnishing the diplomatic rep
resentatives of the government with material for con
ducting the negotiations that. In Buropena and Japa
nese systems, are Inseparable from tariff-making.
Germany's tariff and diplomacy of commerce were
adopted by the Imperial government after the whole
plan had been virtually created by the organised busi
ness Interests of the country. For years, a central or
ganisation that represented Germany's chambers of
commerce, boards of trade and technical associations
in different Industries and commercial activities had
been gathering the material. It waa. In a way, a by
product of Germany's early campaign for foreign trade
expansion. Much of It waa the result of actual expe
rience. Some of It was the result of expert atudy of
the Industries of Germany, of the Industries of Ger
many commercial rivals, of the development of grow
ing Industries In Identical lines abroad, of latent possi
bilities of the same Industries anywhere In the World,
German bualneas was not satisfied with knowing
where other nations had already found markets; it
sent Its investigators to study the location of future
markets.
When the central organlsatl-m of German Industry
went to the government It was, ready with a complete
strategical plan of campaign. Including the tariff sys
tem that Is only part, but a vital part, of Germany's
system of artificial restraints and helpa exerclaed In
every conceivable manner. Not only tariff dutlea, but
railway and steamship differentials, end discriminatory
administration were uaedt Combinations that control
prices both Inside and outside of Germany and that
virtually provide bounties In export business were and
are a part of the system. Germany's farslghted busi
ness organisations devised a kind of commercial Jlu
Jltau to prevent the formation of rival Induatry In cus
tomer countries by means of commercial favors'. Thoy
gave the government the advice upon which adroit
concessions In commercial treaties won apparently un
important concessions In return, the subtle purposes
Of which li took years to ahow. The government In
corporated the central organisation of Gorman busi
ness Into Its official Imperial organisation. It haa for
years been aa Integral part of Germany's machinery
for getting the right tariffs, according to the German
point of view, and Germany haa long recognised the
necessity of solving the intricate problem of finding a
discriminatory "protective" tariff that lets In trade
Oermany thinks necessary er advisable, keeps out the
trade Oermany does not want, and doesn't let any un
reasoning seal for high ' duties Interfere with Grr
manya export buslneaa. Probably the moat Important
lesson from Germany's machinery for tariff-making
that the new tariff commission could take would be
that of finding some all-re pre santatlve way of organ
ising the buslneaa Intelligence of this country so that
It wilt initiate Ideas for the next tariff.
The functions of the Board of Trade In England are
ao well known aa to make comment superfluous. If
England ahould modify rta policy of virtual free trade
by placing protective dutlea on certain articled, or es
tablishing a whole schedule for application to certain
nations, this board would probably supply the Informa
tion and do the planning. It is aa all-round eoonomle
organisation for the empire. It Is an Illustration of
an officialised buatneaa organisation. England has alao
an unofficial organisation, "The Tariff Commission"
of London, whose studies of the treatment of British
exports by countries having conventional tariffs, al
though partisan and made la the Interests of the es
tablishment of a tariff system of England, are full of
excellent Information for anybody who la Informing
himself on the subject ef tariffs and commercial
treatlea.
Russia has been developing machinery for an In
telligent reorganisation of Internal Industry and ex
ternal oommerce during the laat ten years and will be
In a position to make new tariffs and new commercial
treatlea expressive of the bualneas aspirations of Its
people when the war ends.
France has till now used experts from Its regular
official service In the making of tariffs and tt baa been
typical of French tariff modification that changes
have been gradual over years of small, particular
amendments. But for the purpose of a thorough-going
reorganisation of Industrial methods In Prance and a
new campaign for foreign trade, a national body
to act In an advisory capacity to the government ia
now being formed under tbe auspices of the Chamber
of Commerce of Paris. In order to obtain the definite
expertneea ef advice that France dealrea, representa
tion ef a dual character will be provided for In this
national body. The eaeorlationa In all Important lines
of Induatry will be represented by technical experta,
alao by commercial heada of enterprlaes.
The United States haa not needed foreign trade In
the past It baa been absorbed in developing lta In
dustrie through the period in which they acquired
efficiency ef organisation and technical skill among
the workmen, and developed machinery to the point
of ability to compete. The experience of the world In
the laat quarter of a century aeema to Indicate a pre
vailing buslneaa opinion In all developing countries
that tariff policy must be adapted to progressive In
dustrial development. The tendency of the whole
world was towards lower tariffs until the war broke.
Now there la an emergency altuatlon coming la which
competition to regain markets may be conducted re
gardless of profitable price; and a poealble division of
the world Into groupa of nations using discriminatory
tariffs and trading among themselves- This may sound
like a wavering attempt to be truly neutral on aa ex
ceedingly controversial matter like eur own tariff. It
la Intended, however, as a simple summary of facts to
ahow how eur changed altuatlon In the world's trade
and finance makee It advisable. If the tariff la earning
up esaln, to have ready for It an effective organisa
tion for expressing the best practical economic Intel
gene of the country upon the subject.
Free S peech aad Free) Preea.
SOUTH fcSlDB. Omaha. Feb. U. To
the Editor of The Bee: Editors of news
papers by certain rules laid down gov
erning correspondents in what they aay
for publication, make It quite difficult
for a correspondent to aaaall another
for what he baa said In theory advanced.
Lately not a little has been said about
freedom of the press, two editors lam-
basting each other, and then Mr. O'Con
nor butts In and wants to know "what
it is all about" which seems to me
quite pertinent Mr. Bxadahaw also
takes a band in tbe mill and lambaats
Mr. Pontine.
Now, If the theory of the preea, "that
the presa is one of the best educators
of the masses," be correct, then we
might add to O'Connor's query and ask
what Important leaaon has been taught
the public? I only see some sarcasm
Indulged In, which, perhaps at times,
might be a little wholesome,
Tbe term free speech, it occurs to me,
takes In the press proposition, and by
an Inspection of Its parts will determine
what It means, and how far one la war
ranted In Indulging therein. Free means,
to be at liberty, and speech, any dec
laration of thoughts. As applied to our
rights here, what shall we say of It?
Shall we say that one baa the right to
indulge in from the rostrum or In the
press such language aa would defame
the good name and character of any one
or agalnat and detrimental to this coun
try and its Institutions? What think ye.
Mr. Advocate, of such free speech and
free press doctrine? I understand that
the framers of our organlo law did not
mean thla when they said the freedom
of speech should not be abridged, but
that It should be Indulged In to such
extent only that It would not be harm
ful to any Individual and detrimental
to this country and Its Institutions.
But some one will perhaps say you
have given no results In support of your
theory. In reply to such, I need only
to point to some of the results of the
opposite theory. Go back with me. If
you please, to the Alton riots, where
Mr. Liovejoy. through his paper, waa
battling against such doctrine. What
was the result? liovejoy was killed, his
press demolished and thrown Into the
river. Again: Take the SOs and Just
prior thereto, when such men aa Btepnen
A. Douglas was advocating free speech
almost without limit together with other
conceived rights. Results: All the hor
rors of a civil war, which oenerat
Sherman Is said to have denomlnatea
hell." A little further down we see tne
New Orleans riots and the Haymarket
riots In Chicago, which In part can be
charged to thla advocacy of this most
pernicious doctrine.
Tt nt have such free speecn ana rree
nmss as will not mar, deface er twist
into Ill-shape our organic law. or laws
made thereunder to their detriment snd
old glory trailed In the dust.

The Woman ef the Fmtnre.
NORTH LOUP. Neo., Feb. !,-fo the
Editor of The Bee: What will be the
woman of the future Is ths question. The
society woman has long been taught that
s worthless life Is the Ideal Ufa for the
wealthy. Ws are fast approaching the
age when both men and women will be
universally taught that labor Is honor
able, and the woman who falls to be ac
complished in a thorough education In
elasatcs. ths knowledge of rearing chil
dren, the art of cooking and housekaep.
lng. will not be esteemed wtth the highest
respect
We are approaching the age when both
men and women will add to society some
service for the benefit which they receive
from society. We are approaching the
age when property will belong to ail
both men and women alike and women
will possess the same respect wtth men,
the same rights and be adjudged by the
same standards.
There was a time when men thought
not to forgive a wrong agalnat society,
even though that wrong be trivial. We
are changing now. When I meet men
and women upon the common level I
have learned to think not of the past.
Each and every person receives the same
courtesy, the same admiration, the same
consideration. They are entitled to that
respect because the man of Galilee said:
"And If ye salute your brethren only,
what do ye more than others?" The man
and woman of the future will stand upon
the common level, with common rights,
and thla will be a far better world In
which to live. Covetousness will be no
more snd petty Jealousies will not exist.
We will act as the servants of those
about us, and not as their masters. Thla
will be the beginning of the mlllentum.
Unfortunately ths average ability of men
Is not equal to the average ability of
women, because of the standards which
have long existed for the sexes. What
artist will chisel the statue of the future
woman? WALTER JOHNSON.

I Pinkham's Veeetabla Compound I was so run down
with female troubles that I could not do anything, and our doctor
said I would have to undergo an operation. I could hardly walk
without help so when I read about the Vegetable Compound and what
it had done for others I thought I would try it, I got a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a package of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Sanative Wash and used them according to directions.
They helped me and today I am able to do all my work and I am welL

Bellevue, T. " I suffered more than tongue can tell with terrible
bearing down pains and inflammation. I tried several doctors and
they all told me the same story, that I never could get well without
an operation and I just dreaded the thought of that. I also tried a
good many other medicines that were recommended to me and none ,
of them helped me until a friend advised me to give Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound a trial. The first bottle helped, I kept
taking it and now I dont know what it is to be sick any more and I
am picking up in weight. I am 20 years old and weigh 245 pounds.
It will be the greatest pleasure to me if I can have the oppor
tunity to recommend it to any other suffering woman."- Miss I&ksa
