Where now is our erstwhile splen
did Isolation, our old-time freedom
from entangling alliances? A hun
dred years ugo, fifty years ago, or
ten years ago, who would have pre
dicted such times and such issues at
the present? The spectacle of an
American President demanding the
evacuation and restoration of the oc
cupied territories of half a dozen
European States and the Teuton con
queror's return of Alsace-Lorraine to
France would have been derided as
unbelievable in any but a very recent
period. We have Indeed cowe'to the
parting of the ways, the crossing of
the Rubicon, the burning of our an

the 'place of the old question of Eu

in and are likely ever to remain in
the thick of the world's political tur

face It. It was not of our seeking,
it was thrust upon us, but it was In
evitable. We are too big to stand
aside while would-be world-conquerors
tread down a great part of Europe
and endanger even our present safety
let alone our future. We may shrink
from our duty, but we must play; the
part, not of a shirking woakling. but
of a man-nation. We may grasp,

by President Wilson's commands to

HI'FA'IAI, SESSION
IS 1,1 KEY
Visit of several days in the state's
capitol city has convinced the editor
of The Herald that there la much
likelihood of the calling of a Bpeclal
session of the legislature for the pur
pose of pinsing a law which will per
init soldiers from the state of
Nebraska to cast his vote at the elec
tions held this year and In the futuri
yea rs.
The question of whether or not the
present law will cover the situation
properly is to be put up to the state
supreme court without delay. Should
the court decide that the present law
is Inadequate it is very probable that
a special session will be called to be
held in the month of April.
Although members of the legisla
ture will undoubtedly be compelled to
Berve during the special session with
out pay, receiving only their ex
penses, we found that eve-y one we
talked with and we saw many o
them is glad and willing to do "his
bit" by attending a special session
should it be called.
The Lincoln State Journal recently
contained the following editorial on
the subject:

he fifteen or twenty thousand voters
who will be exiled next November in
heir country's service. As the laws
of the state now stand, it will be a
practical impossibility to prevent the
disfranchisement at the coming gen
eral election of nearly one-tenth of its
rOteff, and that tenth most especially
entitled to participate In this election.
The statute emu ted to make it pos
sible for absent militia regiments to
vote is utterly unworkable as applied
I present conditions. That statute
provided for election commissioners
o go to the soldiers and take their
votes. Nebraska s soldiers will be at
he four corners of the earth when the
next election comes. They will be
distributed thruout France, Kngland
md the United States with a scatter-
ng in the I'hilllppines and perhaps
Italy and Russia. It would take near
ly as many election commissioners as
here are soldiers to gather up the
soldier vote. To attempt it would be
mpossible and abusured. A different
aw will be needed.
A different law will require a spe
cial session of the legislature. A spe
cial session of the legislature, as or
dlnarily managed, would cost the
state not much less than $50,000.
There Is the mileage for members, the
clerk hire, the members' per liem and
the various other expenses which pile
up in the vicinity of legislatures This
money is needed for war work, and
reluctance will naturally be felt to
spend It on a special legislative ses
sion. Yet If there is no other way to
secure for these Nebraska soldiers a
vote at the coming election, the price
is not too great.
But It Is necessary to pay this price
or any great price? Throut Nebraska
today several hundred men are giving
toilsome service to their country free
of charge. The draft boards and the
attorneys who serve them, the men
who solicit for liberty bonds and
Red Cross subscriptions all are work
ing without pay in their country's In
terest. We have no doubt that if a
special session of the legislature were
called during the winter lull in farm
ing and business, the members would
be willing and glad to serve unpaid
the wealthier at their own expense,
the other for their actual expenses.
We have no doubt that the clerical
work could be handled in the same
way.
The session would not need to oc
cupy more than three or four days.
The governor, exercising his right to
introduce bills, could have the legisla
tive reference bureau ready with a
bill, or at least ready with the infor
mation needed for the drafting of a
bill. The session would need be only
long enough to comply with the three
day requirement at to the reading of
the bill. If much deliberation were
required, drafts of a proposed bill
could be sent to members In advance.
At a merely nominal cost the ballot
could thus be placed in the hands of
our soldiers. The men who deserve
most say in war time will thus escape
disfranchisement. We suggest that
members of the legislature volunteer
to the governor at once for this ser
vice. The time is short.

No doubt it pains Colonel Roose
velt to know that the war is not be
ing conducted according to his Ideas,

of the government in a paper away

great deal of attention In those epoch

Applications for Toiiciea to the
number of nearly 311,000 had been
received up to the end of 1917 at the
War Risk Insurance Bureau from
American ooldiers, and thy have con
tinued to come in at the rate of about
6000 a day, the amount of insurance
applied for averaging $8,630 per man
and the permitted maximum being
$10,000. This revealB a commend

khaki to provide for their families in

The New Haven lawyer who wrote

American flag and promised future
loyalty in order to save his skin, he
placed himself beneath contempt by
going before a magistrate and de

STILL A QUKSTION
OF SHIPS
The greatest need revealed In the
official account of the recommada
tions of the allied conference in Paris
may be expressed in the one word
ships. Apparently the conference re
cognized as the three prime need3,
(1) intelligent allied cooperation
(2) the expeditious transport of
American troops to Franco, and (3)
the greatest possible speed in ship
building. Obviously the second and
third are so closely joined as virtu
ally to make one. Tbo transport of
our troops depends on ships, and so
speedy shipbuilding is a need second
only to ready and wise cooperation of
the armed forces of the allied nations
Wo have the soldiers and the equip
ment or soon will have In abund
ance, but their transport depends on
the number of available over-sea
carriers.
So It is still a question of ships, for
without them in abundance our part
in the actual war remains small. No
wonder the Paris conference urges
speeding up in our shipbuilding as
well as the hurrlng of American ar
mies to Europe. No wonde- drastic
legislation designed to rush ship
building Is now before Congress.
BRIEF
COMMENT
Germany's intimations of her read
lness to grant a conqueror's peace are
becoming rather tiresome.
The real pacifist knows that peace
Is worth fighting for and that there
are times when there is no escape
from this 'imperative duty.
Not one Frenchman in this country
has used his foreign citizenship as the
basis of a claim for draft exemption
Once more vlve la France.
Kultur-crammed Germany mayfind
another opportunity to sneer In the
announcement that there are four
hundred men In Camp Gordon who
can not read. It 'does not follow
however that they are also unable to
shoot.
The "Tommies" consume two mil
lion pounds of Jam a week, but let us
try to give our "Sammies" plenty of
meat. It stands to reason that a
man can fight better on a meat than
on a Jam diet.

MAZOLA
A wholesome and delicious oil, from Corn,
for general cooking and salad dressings
THIS pure oil from America's greatest cereal
Indian Corn is the ideal medium for frying
sauteing, shortening and salad dressings.
Foods fried in Mazola are not only much more
easily digested they are more palatable free from
easiness or sogginess because Mazola browns food
quickly.
And with the nation-wide movement headed by
Mr. Hoover to save butter, lard, suet, the housewife
is particularly glad that she has a cooking medium
which is so delicious she can help conserve the
country's resources, cut the cost of her cooking, give her
family food of the highest quality all with Mazola.
Mazola nukes especially fine salad dressings, too.
Sold by your grocer in pint, quart, half-gallon and gallon
tins; for greatest economy buy th large sues.
Ask for a copy of the free Msiola Book of
Kecipes, or wnte us direct.
Your money refunded if Mazola
