The route to Pari la Just as rocky aa the route to Berlin or to St. Petersburg. The trouble with the waterwagon aeema to t an excess cargo and a aurplua of Inexperienced drivers. Some membera aecm to think congress Is "the whole works," when It Is only one-third of the machinery. Nearly three weeks yet for candldatea to (lie for primary nominations and then (our weeks more for them to withdraw. There's no accounting for tastes. Neither the British lion nor the Trench eagle had any special liking (or Turkey anyway. A higher type of man Is to be evolved out ct the war, according to a London sociologist. It i i up to the stay-at-homes to make good the prediction. Canada propose to raise lta fighting con tributlon (rom 260,000 to 600,000 men. "The lsdy of the snows" is warming op to mother aa never before. .1, It. Is estimated .that . a, (oroe of 16,000 men Is needed to guard the Panama canal. The (orce required to keep the canal open eludes experts In military science. President Wilson underscores a large na tional truth when he says that the noise makers of congress are not always reliable Interpreters of public sentiment. Meanwhile, the fifty-fifty split of naturali sation fees goes on and the oouniy protldes ac commodations and pays (or the labor. Easy money? Just like finding it. Government Investigators might get closer to the cause of soaring gasoline prices by overlook ink supply and consumption and taking tha measure of the demand for "melons." Hose Is Just hose when Omaha buys fir hose, but when other cities buy It they Insist on knowing what they are getting (or their money and seeing to it that they get It - Governor Morehead has a vacancy to (111 on the district bench (or Douglas county (or the third time. It Is a purely non-partisan office (or which only democrats will be considered. It looks aa if the senator were in no hurry to hand out that poatofflce prise package. He has made anew the old discovery that patron age Is more often a liability than an asset. Death of a Texan from an overdose of suf frage debate is regrettably tragic. In spite of all warnings and experience misguided men per alat In breaking into conversations that do not concern them. Democratic party insurgent are now repeat ing with characteristic vim the tomahawking Cleveland experienced in 18SS. Like condltiona produce like results. History will repeat Itself to the end of the run. President WUson haa made public his Grid iron club speech, thus depriving it of the se crecy of even an open secret. The president ought to know that the potency of a secret con sists la spreading it aa If oy favor. Good Thing to Push Along Columbus Telegram: All tha atata Is applauding .lta fight mada by Tha Omaha Bea to eradicate aom f tha evlla of a court system which permits a rooked lawyer to carry crooked raaaa to the court a Tha profession of the law la noble, but unhappily that profession la often professed by men who would hare been drummed out of tha camp of Pat Crow and his fellowa on charge of unprofessional conduct Tha clean membera of tha Omaha bar know that their organisation bears upon lta rolta many names which hould not bo tbera, but for soma at range reason no serious effort Is ever mada to dislodge there. The Omaha Be has undertaken tha task of purifying tha aimoaiihera In tha Omaha temple of Justice. It la Mart Urns. For Ion- that atmosphere has been so impure as to Impair the constitution of tha Goddess of Justice, and mass bar look Itka a blighted bouquat on the way to the garbage can. Every lawyer la Omaha one day swore that ha would always protect tba honor of his own profession, but many appear to hate forgotien the solemn oath. The Omaha Bee It now performing the oath whl h the Omaha lawyers more to perform, and rf.mtng u better than any Omaha lawyer haa performed It. More Deadly Than the TJ-Boat. Reports of loss of British liners in the Eng llsh channel off Dover on Sunday did not come with the surprise that might have attended such events a few months ago. Vagrant "mines" are the terror of the waters around the British Isles Just at this time.' Torn from their mooring by the terrlflo storms of the last few days, these uncontrollable engines of destruction are drift ing Into the fairway and working havoc among the shipping. In the opening days of the war the belligerents bent every energy to strewing the waters with destructive devices ot all kinds, the purpose being to render navigation unsafe. Thla has been accomplished with remarkable ef ficiency. The new war occupation of mine sweeping haa served in aome measure to keep certain lanes free for the passage of ships, but the winds and waves bring confusion. The ex perience of Sunday Is not new, as ships have been sunk In the North Sea and elsewhere In the waters of the war cone through collision with a wandering mine. The danger of a mine exceeds that of a submersible, for the undersea boat can at least give warning before Its strike, and makes selection of Its victims. The lesson Is that a number of practices common to this war will have to undergo revision whenever enough of order Is restored to permit consideration of the problems. The Saddest of All. Omaha has recently had an exceptionally large number of child fatalities resulting from accidents of one kind or another. The sudden blotting out of an Innocent youngster's life Is the saddest of sad experiences. To have a bright boy or girl of tender years start out In a playful mood only to be brought back home a cold corpse is a blow that stuns and paralyzes. It makes no difference whether It is a coasting accident or an automobile collision or a drowning or the discharge of a dldn't-know-lt-was-loaded gun In the hands of a playmate, the pity of It and the Heedlessness of It strike a telling blow. Unfortunately accident will happen and lit tle tots will take reckless risks, but there is no consolation to grlev'ng parents In wise saws. The only moral to be drawn Is the admonition, "Look well to the children." Closer Cattle Inspection Needed. Another report reaches The Bee of tubercu lar cattle being shipped into Nebraska, coming with a clean bill of health from the Inspector In the state where they were purchased. Sev eral previous attempts of owners of Infected stock to dispose of them by sale to buyers at a distance have been recorded, and a Justified de mand Is now made that government inspectors be more vigilant. Endeavors to stamp out in fection, especially tuberculosis, among the herds of the country will come to naught, so long as owners of diseased stock can dispose of them to innocent purchaser. Many device and trick are resorted to by unscrupulous shippers to evade the law and defeat the tests. Most of these are known, and should be rigidly guarded against Nebraska has of late become a great purchaser of pure bred cattle, and the efforts to improve the herds of the state should have every encour agement. This means that closer inspection must be provided (or, that the western breed ers may have the protection to which they are entitled." ' ....... Germany's Answer EeaiiariBgf. In the tone of the answer from the German Imperial government to the United State on the matter of submarine warfare is (ound little occasion (or Immediate apprehension. The Ger man government quite naturally contend (or It version of the controversy with earnestness, but not in a way that leave the Impression of an approaching Impasse. Renewal o( pledges given a to unarmed merchantmen was a mat ter of form, but will serve a reassuring those who had conceived the Idea that the kaiser government was planning to run a mad dog cam paign with it undersea boats. The crux of the case turn on the status of the armed merchant man, and this will be the subject of debate (or some time. If the modus Vivendi proposed by the United States can be made effective, the crisis I over. But that the Allies may be looked to contribute in any way to the relief of the stress between the United States and GermanyM not apparent However this may be, war with Ger many doea not appear to be very near at the doors of Uncle 8am. Preparedness Insurgents Back on the Reservation. From Washington come word that the ghost dancing la over (or the time and the insurgent democrat are all back on the reservation, the spasm of last week having passed away in im potence. President Wilson has gained a moral victory of no inconsiderable value over the un ruly members of his party in congress, who were bent on overturning his foreign policy. Hi courageous declaration in his Utter to Senator 8tone was too much for the men who had so loudly trumpeted their plans, and they are again proving the trath of Senator Root's charge that the party I amenable only to the Influence of a club. Senator Oore and Representative McLe more and Bailey have retired to thetr tepees and the Missouri tribe is again purring around the place, aa peaceful and Innocuous a could be wished. The (allure of the unpatrlotio attempt of the Bryanlte to (urther embarrass the president in his course at this critical time expose the emp tiness of their pretensions. They had planned to make It appear that the follower of the life secretary of state are the real saviors of theS country, on whoa action hangs peace. Instead, they only made more plain the futility of the democratic party when It cornea to dealing with questions of real importance. In some quarters the notion prevails that Andrew Carnegie owns the Peace Palace at The Hague. Some of the peace missionaries thought they might freely roam about the premises of a fellow countryman, but altered their viewpoint when shown outside the Iron gates. The palace bears Carnegie's name for the same reason that certain public libraries do. "" Zx-Ooveraor Leslie X. Bhaw. MAN 18 a flKhtlri animal and only those who fail to understand his nature hava believed wars could bo. or can be prevented by moral uplift or Christian culture. Until a new dlapcnaaUon ar rives nallone will learn war. and the only way they can bo prevented from prsctli In war Is through the organisation of the United Sovereignties of Karth, tinder a restriction patterned after the constitution of tha United ftatrs of America, but riving earb sovereignty the tight to such Internal government aa It pleases, witli president, congress, auprema court, army and navy, but limiting the armlea and navies of tha several sovereignties composing the United Sovereignties, the eama as the National Guard of each aoveralgn stale la restricted. And even then peace can be Insured only by such preparedness aa will en able it, the United Sovereignties, to enforce peace. This country existed and barely survived sla yeats under srtkies of confederation, but Its existence was more prorartoua during that period than during tho preceding seven years of revolutionary war. That league of friendship between tha thirteen states waa In every way aa strong and effective, however, aa any league now proposed, whether intended to In clude all so-called "world powers" or limited to Pan- American countries. Before the Mexican war we had a treaty of amity with that country, thrice reiterated, pledging etern.il friendship between the two republics and the peoples thereof. It waa never abrogated, but. was renewed after tha war, and It still existed when we recently bombarded and captured Vara Cms. I purposely avoid saying It was then In foroe. Suoh treaties, such leagues, such International conventions, are never In force, for there Is no one to enforce them. There waa a similar solemnly mada and more solemnly ratified troaty of amity In existence be tween thla country and Colombia, when ws recognized Panama as a sovereign republic, then only one day old. and when ws officially notified Colombia that If it attempted to suppress tha revolution and resume sovereignty over territory admittedly here but yes terday we would wipe It from tha map. There la no division of desire to eacape war, and no division ot determination never to ba tha aggrea- sor, or to wage a war of conquest; and I do not be lieve there Is much division of opinion among those whose opinion Is based on knowledge of facts, and tho logic of events, that either we will have to get tnlo tha present horrid conflict snd determine who shall be tha winner or wa will be compelled to whip the winner If wa are able, and get whipped If unable. It Is not necessary to either approve or disapprove the steps that have been taken or omitted In adher ence to our policy ot neutrality in order to note with apprehension that we are making no friends and placing no belligerent under obligation to come to our assistance when the great day of reckoning shall arrive; a day as certain as any toward which every event logically points, and that can he prevented only by soma at present unseen contingency. In times past Ood haa wrought many miraculous deliver enccs, but In later years ha has quite generally left the nations ot earth to face tha natural results of their acts of omission as well as acta of commission. Tha human side ot Ood the Bon was touched with compassion, and he left many examples for those who might profess to be His followers, but ss I read the record Ood the Father la a disciplinarian. Iet It be remembered that this Is Ood's war or there Is no Qod In the sense In which we have been taught and as we try to teach. And If It be Ood's war. tell me why we alone should expect to escape why we alone should profit through its horrors. I shudder sa X reoog-nits that the victor In the present conflict, or soma one or mors of the victors may do about as sny of us would If condi tions were reversed. If while we were fighting for our very existence they had let our brothers be slaughtered, and our sisters outraged, on territory where they had forbidden us to set fool ws would sooner or Istar call them to account. I somehow believe, gentlemen, that as soon as wa had cotton free of the strangle hold of existing war ws would settle somewhat harshly with that nation that had mads merchandise of our necessities, and had re fused protection to those of our people wbo had chanced to be In territory over which it had grata itously assumed sole Jurisdictional supervision. We would see to It that any nation that had persistently nagged us while we were shedding our life blood and exhausting our substance In try In to make this planst fit to inhabit, and to perpetuate principles of liberty and Justice) professedly as dear to It as to us should assume an indemnity ample to pay Its share of tha cost we had Incurred, and many times the profit It had exacted while we were in throes. I always aeeept expert testimony est complex que. Hons, wherein I have no training. In tha present In atanoe I assume that the opinion of even a few men educated at Wast Point and at Annapolis for Just suoh occasions, Is safer to follow than that of a thou sand Arkansas farmers. Wast Virginia coal minors or Naw England lumbermen; and every one of those so-educated and trained (axoapt one, and only one) tell us that any of the four principal belligerents. If left free by the others, can actually land on our shore a foroa sufficient to take every city, every factory, and everything subject to capture, within 17S miles of the city ot New York in one month's time and our wives know that that 17J miles stretches far into Naw England on tha north, beyond the Jersey ooaat on the south and inland to tha coal fields of Pennsylvania, and that It Includes all. or nearly all, our munition factories, small arms, big arms, small ship, submarine and big ship producing plants, powder mills, arsenals, extension coal areas, and more than aOO carloads ot gold and silver now actually stored In government vaults In this city alone, to say nothing of the contents erf tha mint and tha sub treasury at Philadelphia. I do not know that these can ba oaptured. I onjy know that they are worth coralnc after and that our army and navy experts say that they can be had for the coming. X have a son sa dear to me aa any aon la to any father. If this country gets Into war. and It will unless It prepares Itself to enforce puaca, that son should offer his services. He la of tha kind and typs that will be required. If ha should fall to enlist the government will have tha right to conscript hlra; but the curse of Ood will and should rest upon that nation and that people that wUI call Its beat blood to the colors without having flrat Uught them to ks care of themselves, and that will not furnish them as good arms as they are forced to face, that will not give them ammunition to last till tha fight is over, that will not cover their positions and movs menta by field artillery equal In quantity and of as long range aa that of tha adversary, that will not provide sir craft and submeriite craft In ahort. that will not do all that human resource and human skill oan do to make thetr defensive position tenable anJ their offensive movements successful. Anything leas man tns oeat la aosotuteiy worthless. Any preparaj naaa lesa than adequate preparedness la useless, and war waged with antiquated or Insufficient equipment la worse than murder, for It subjects those who heed the call of duty, and who obey tha command of tha country, to tgnomlnloue 'defeat and shameless slaughter.

To the Editor of Tho Bee: In view of the recent publica tion In your paper of an article with re gard to the risk of American cltlr.ens in 'insda being drafted ss soldiers snd the numJwr thst sre returning to America for that reason, I wish to present the facts In the case as outlined in attached letter from the minister of the Interior, Dominion of Canada, dated Ottawa, January R, 1918, In which be says: Numerous papers In the United Stales have recently advised American cltlxen thst by going; to Canada they Incurred the risk of being drafted aa soldiers in the present world-wide war. Whin rexponrtble Journals era misled Into p'il lishlnK erroneous information reardln conscription It seerna advisable to make, an official pronouncement upon the mat ter. 1. therefore, beg to advise you that all troops from Csnnda for tho war have gone voluntarily: that while, the jrovern n.ent has tbej power to enforce conscrip tion, such action haa not been considered either advisable or necessary, and that even were conscription Introduced it would apply to Canadian eltlxena only. For your Information I mav say that many Canadian resident In the T"nltd Htates and many American dtisens ha- crossed into Canada alnce the o itbreak of war. have offered their services, been accep.ed. don valuable work and In some case gave up their life In the causa of liberty and Justice.

Dominating; the IT I aw Seas. OMAHA, Feb. 18. To the Editor of The Bee: The large headlines over ona column of a recent Issue are: "Columbia Must Rule the Pacific." In thla sen tence Columbia means the United States. Probably the headlines tat newspaper have an Important Influence on the character or qualities of the views of many read ers, even when the headlines, as often la the case, miarepreant the true meaning of the utterances that follow them. There never has been a time when It was more Important for the people to thla nation to have a clear conception of the proper rule of national conduct than pow. My present purpose Is to call at tention to th fact that if It la the am bition and purpose of this nation to rule the high seas, we are cultivating the very disposition that w condemn In th con duct In every other nation, that ehows It Wa need to b careful not only to make fair representations, but to make our conduct and true Intentions euch that our actions will not belle our words. Only thus oan we attain tb moral Influence or power that would give the deepest satisfaction to us and make this truly the most Influential nation In the world. The headlines referred to were baaed upon words attributed to Admiral Badger, but hla words, as reported, are: "A. fleet capable ot dominating tho Pacific ocean is the only sure protection of the Pa cific coast" In reality bis sentiment Is not at variance with that expressed re peatedly by President Wilson; that we aim to defend our rights and Interests, but net to Interfere with the free use of th high seas by any, other nation for any legitimate purpose. It Is supremely Important to maintain this attitude and to have the people of other nations under stand It. It would be vain to expect to improve International relations without the adoption of higher moral standards than have perralled heretofore. Greed and arrogance must be marked tor de struction. Only thus rsn wa hop to hav lasting peao and prosperity. BEHUAH F. COCHRAN. Around the Cities Cleveland will shortly pay laborers on municipal work S2.&0 a day of eight hour.
