SET NEBRASKA RIGHT. Sensational writers and equally sensational talkers have done Nebraska an immense amount of damage within the last few months. They have given currency to publications and utter ances calculated to create the impression that most of our people are disloyal, and that those who are not are either weak-minded or timid. These damaging stories all rest on the Mockett law and the teaching of German in the public schools, and the course of the senators from this state. Thus enough of fact underlies the exag gerations to give a color of truth to the whole fabric of slander. Eastern newspapers have avid ly seized on these opportunities, and have given the state a great amount of unpleasant and undeserved publicity. Now, every agency through which the outside world can be reached ought to be em ployed to counteract the effect of these slanders. Tell the world the people of Nebraska were abused by the German propagandists; let it be known that we do not endorse the kaiser-coddlers who misrepresent this state in the United States senate; make it plain to all that the Mockett law was repealed, and that Nebraska's schools are freed from the insidious insertion of kaiser poison in the youthful minds of the state, and finally let every man, woman and child in Ne braska show by action as well as by word that we are loyal. Let us get Nebraska right before the public. Experience hardly warrants the belief that tie kaiser could learn anything from the savages la the way of cussedness, but he took no chances, txi so sent his agenta to Mexico to discover if any new form of meanness had been Invented there. That he was disappointed is no discredit to the peons, who did their utmost to enlighten Him. ' .' 'V';';-' Locating Commerce High School. Reports are current that the Board of Edu cation is considering a new site for the proposed Commerce High school This naturally raises a query as to whether the board is not bound by the actions that resulted in the purchase of a site near the Central High school. Was not that act in the nature of a contract with the citi zens? The proposition for bonds, submitted at the last election, was silent on the point, and, for the matter of that, was silent even on the point of building a high school. It gives the school board a million dollars "for the purpose of purchasing school sites and erecting school build-iti-i." Of course, the resolution adopted by the loarf refers to the Commerce High school, and the bonds were voted with the understanding that it would be built also, with the further un derstanding that it would be built oa the site al ready purchased. Why a change should be made in, the location is not yet publicly known., The board must have some very weighty reasons to justify purchase Of another site and should not hesitate to take the public into full confidence in tie matter. " English Language Our Heritage. A former hyphenated organization has made protest that the language we use be no longer referred to as "English," but be called "Ameri can." it is not tne nrst time sucn suggestion has been made. Every now and then some per son, super-saturated with patriotism or animated by prejudice born of ignorance, has proposed the change. All of these forget or ignore the facts in the case. Our language is the English language; it is our heritage, just as the fundamentals of our na tional life have come to us through English channels. The men who established free govern ment in this country were sons of England; it is true 'that Other European nations were repre sented among the colonists, but England alone could afford a model for .constitutional govern ment at that time. Our Declaration of Independ ence is worded in English, our constitution and our laws are in English, our Bible and our litera ture and all our national records are in English. We welcome people of every tongue known to man, but we do all our business in English, and request that our foreign-born citizens familiarize themselves with that language, although we have not yet made it obligatory on them. Necessity the greatest of incentives, and the newcomer, although clinging with pardonable fondness to the speech of his native land, finds it distinctly to his advantage to quickly acquire a sufficient knowledge of English to enable him to transact his business. All this is apparent It has nothing to do with the name, Americans who are familiar with the growth of representative government, the uplift of free Institutions, know the part the English have played in establishing liberty for man. And the English language is a part of this movement It is spoken today by more people than any other, its use is continually growing, and, while it may never become the universal speech of man, none will venture to set a limit for its spread, for it goes with freedom into the dark places of the world. Cidtenship for Aliens in the Army. Congress is about to perform an act of justice to aliens who are serving in the American army by, granting them full citizenship. The bill al ready has been passed by the house and is be fore the senate with a favorable committee re port. It affects 123,000 unnaturalized German and Austrian subjects who are now serving with our colors. This principle has been invoked in other times, notably in the civil war, and in the adop tion of the constitution of Nebraska, when all residents of the territory who had served in army or navy of this country were made citizens. That an injustice is done to men who have been drafted before their naturalization had been com plete! through denial of full citizenship rights is plain, and it is to correct this that congress is now acting. The measure also automatically re store to full citizenship those Americans who had forfeited their right by serving with armies of friendly governments. This will bring back into the fold a good many thousands of men who have fought in France, making them eligible to serve with Old Glory. Native-born Filipinos who have or are serving with our army or navy are included In the provisions of the act. American citizenship is the most valuable possession a free man can' have, and to offer it as a reward for honorable military service is most appropriate. The democratic senator from "Nebraska apent a few unpleasant moments with some of the people he misrepresents during his late visit home. His "courage and ability" availed him little among the business men who catechised him. r Bonds were voted by the citizens to erect school buildings, not to promote real estate deals. Views, Reviews and Interviews War Activities in the East Bring Out Many Ingenious and , Artistic Devices to Promote Bond Sales War activities are in evidence everywhere I go. From the outset the east has made more of war work than the west, at least in outward appearance, and this seems to be true today, even though the west has been coming through easier with the money requi sitioned for financing the government I think most of the big newspapers gave us head lines on the proud achievement of Ne braska leading all on War Savings certifi cates and they are also playing up the rank of the different territorial subdivisions in Liberty bond subscriptions. I saw a bulletin board in the Wall Street area on which is kept day by day the list of Federal Reserve districts in order of percentage on allot ments and our district was near the top, only it exploits the name of Kansas City in stead, of Omaha. To the question about the condition of business out west, however, no answer is needed further than the in formation that the bonds have been well oversubscribed, while hereabouts the drive still has a good way to go. - It is interesting to observe the variety of methods employed to center attention on the oonai. in Baltimore tney nave sec up at an the busiest soots heroic plaster statues of Uncle Sam with outstretched arms pointing directly to the passerby, to whom each says "It's up to your Some of them are painted in the regulation red, white and blue cos tume and make a most oicturesoue appear ance. Baltimore has also put on a war ex position denominated "Over There," with battlefield relics from the other side, living exhibits of Red Cross, hospital supply, vo cational training, models of battleships," air- pianei, cic. it is neia in ine Armory wnicn served as the convention hall when President Wilson was first nominated! One end is given over to a trench section said to be exactly in counterpart of the real trenches. The effect of a starry night is produced by clever electric illumination through the vaulted ceiling covered .over with dark blue cloth of some kind. In the center is a raised platform for the music, and patriotic pro grams carried out each day. Ine exposition is connected up with the bond drive by issu ing a coupon ticket for which 40 cents is charged, 15 cents to go as the admission fee and 25 cents to be applied on bond pur chases. Here in New York the street booths are at nearly every corner with pretty girls in viting you to 4 Buy a bond." At certain loca tions tne solicitation is continued at night, supplemented with lantern slides and pic tures. A more elaborate and beautifully dec orated platform has been erected in front of the Public Library on Fifth avenue, where addresses are delivered at fixed hours. As I was passing it the other day the assembled street audience was -being regaled with a musical program by a dozen or 15 youngsters decked out in uniforms of our own and our allies' various military services. The per formers, I learned, were the stage children who are playing roles In different theaters of the city. In a Chicago theater I saw an attractive novelty along the same line. A special drop curtain has been provided with a huge Amer ican nag painted on it as if waving, and across the flag in picture the well known "Spirit of 76" figures. The spectators are faced with this curtain when they stand to the orchestra's rendition of the national an them and it is also lowered between the acts. Outside of the routine proceedings, this year's meeting of the Associated Press was in the nature of a celebration of the comple tion by Melville E. Stone of 25 years of serv ice as general manager and responsible ex ecutive head. The world's greatest news gathering agency had its inception in small beginnings and has exceeded in growth the fondest ' expectations of ; its originators, largely through the efforts ana activities of this one man guildin? its destinies all that time. It has never before, and let us hope never again, been subjected t6 the supreme test it is now undergoing as a consequence of the world war, in which it is playing such an important part, and the way the. Associ ated Press is meeting, this test is the best tribute to the efficiency of Mr. Stone's work. There were, of course, other tributes and., a handsome testimonial in proof that grifn visaged war has not yet banished from the earth all the more tender personal relations and solicitous regard for a man's worth and achievement. I had the pleasure of traveling in the com pany of former United States Senator Wil iiam V. Allen, who was on his way to Wash ington, and was impressed more than ever with the bigness of the man. He is. as is well known, of almost giant stature, but more than that is mentally big and alert, keeping in close touch with the current of world events and analyzing these movements with incisive keenness. Judge Allen is now 71 vears old and one of the vouneest veterans of our Civil war. We talk now of German armies made up of boys by calling the class of 1920 why Judge Allen served more than three years in the union army, beginning at the age of 15, and, so he told me, had tried to get in when he was 14, but met with ob stacles that delayed him a year. "He was al ways tall for age, ventured Mrs. Allen, who was traveling with him (they have been married 48 years), but of course not nearly so heavy. When I first knew him he was very thin, painfully thin, with such a long neck that he always wore a high standing collar a habit of a lifetime no longer necessary, as you see." Although it is more than a quarter of a century since Judge Allen was elected United States senator, he has the remarkable faculty of recalling every one of his fellow senators who served with him, recalling not only by name and state but also by personal characteristics. Try to enumerate 100 differ ent people you may have known 10 or 12 years back and you will appreciate better what this feat of memory means. New York City, April 25, 1918. Where is the Money Going? Quiz About the Nonpartisan League "Bar1 1" in Minnesota Minneapolis Journal. The Nonpartisan league claims to have en rolled 60,000 members in Minnesota. As $16 has been collected from each one, that means that nearly a million dollars has flowed into the league's coffers in this state alone. Sup pose we allow 25 per cent of this for com missions to solicitors and other overhead ex penses of collection. There still remains to be accounted for more than $700,000. What is the purpose of this great fund? What is its destination? The only explana tion thus far is that of the Townley collect ors, quoted by the Fergus Falls Journal as saying "It takes money to run a campaign." But no political party in Minnesota ever raised or spent anything like that amount of money. In fact, as our Jfergus fans con temporary points out, Minnesota nas been atrivinsr tor vears to eliminate the over-use of money in elections, "and has succeeded in reducing campaign expeditures to what may be regarded as legitimate requirements that is, to hall rent speakers pay and fare and campaign literature." Is the Nonpartisan league 'planning to spend any considerable share of this huge fund which it has persuaded its farmer mem bers to contribute on the campaigns of its candidates for office in the approaching primary and the election to follow? If so, how is it going to get around the law which debars from holding office any candi date who has been elected by the expendi ture of more money that is permitted under the statute? On the other hand, if no illegitimate use is to be made of this huge fund in the cam paign, what is it to be used for? Into whose pockets is it ultimately to go? Has any ac counting of any sort ever been made to the members of the Nonpartisan league, either in Minnesota or any other state, for the moneys collected from them? And will any accounting be made, unless one is forced by judical action? League officers have said in reply to ques tions Tike these that it is no one's business what the league does with its money. But the league is a political organization. It has nominated a state ticket. It has adopted a political platform. Other political organiza tions have to give an - accounting of their financial operations. Why not the league? The corrupt practices law limita the ex penditures that may be made by a state party committee in any campaign to $10,000. In addition the candidate for governor may spend not more than $7,500 and candidates1 for other state elective offices not more than $3,500 each. Thus the league with its four candidates is by law limited to spending less than $30,000 on its state ticket It has also legislative candidates, but these are limited to $600 apiece for the senate and $400 apiece for the house. Where is all the rest of the money going? People and Events List to the music of the lawn mower!

As proof of his esteem for the dear de parted a hearse driver set a joyride pace for the procession cemeteryward on the level roads of Long Island and reached a 35-mile clip when a policeman checked the speed and took the numbers.

A bronze replica of the famous plaster "Statue of the Republic" which graced the eastern end of the Court of Honor, now occupies an imposing site in Jackson park. The statue also represents the surplus profits of the fair, some $48,000, which has been held in trust for 25 years. BBSS Cst Tear Ago Today la the War.
