V- Nothing except a battle lost V can be half so melancholy as a battle won. Duke of Welling ton. v March has be-t-n very docile, .so far :o:- We all should he happy, but we are i'..t. :o: Taint helps the appearance of old ba.ddir.trs, but not faces. :o: All the monkeys are not in the jun- gles. There are several in this old tvn. If you have to loaf, then loaf at y -;:r own place and do not annoy -:her people. :o: Tlie N braska legislature can make l nd-iake in hrir.trhi.tr about a bill that will bring eon ict labor on the roads. :o: : If ii should be proved that heaven i- n-t a loafing place, we fear that a Lt of good people would lose interest i:i the realms of light. Tre prophet who last fail predicted open wh.ter should take his e!e- p.ir'a: re "Cret. nland's iev moun- t;. ai.-i bo evrr.'-.elled to stay there f -r a while.

Coiey was selected to fill tb.e ri-spon-ibie p".-itio:i as registrar f the federal land bank at Omaha. Here is a future candidate for gov ernor of Nebraska on the democratic ticket. He is an "all-over man,"' and a reliable democrat. :o:- Argertine is trying to foir.i an al liance of the Latin-American nations on thi side of the Atlantic to help make peaee among the warring nation-. They will not a.-k the United States to join in the alliance because of the reeei.t break with Germany. We would like to sec some indications from those rations that interference Mould be acceptable before making try overtures in that direction. :o: Y glory in the spunk of our fr'und. Kichard L. Metcalfe, in more ways than one. lie is an American "died in the wool." He speaks his senti ments on all ipjestions, and boldly op jK'ses the once great Commoner, W. .'. Bryan, when he knows Bryan is do. irg thing.- in his own selti.-h interest. '!"e .-ure you ai- right, and go head.' And Dick Metcalfe is nearly right on ;:1! matters pertaining to the salvation i-f this American republic. :o: I're.iideiit Wil-oii has been forced t" trie up I; I.- place as World's peace m ker. The United States witt not b- a di-intere-ted party when peace terms are arranged. Some months .it: the German anihu.-sador, Count von Bein.-torir predicted that not Pi c.-ider.t Wilson, but King Alfonso, of Spain, would be the leader in bringing pci.ee to the world. But it is lii.tly that Spain will be drawn i:o the loe.-s. She's going to have ;i !:.-. rd time in getting enough to eat. Willi Alfonso out of it the loud voice fr v.a e would be that of the Pope. It would 1-e an opportunity such as no head of a rhurch has enjoyed in al! the his to:y of the world. And this head of tlie ehuiih of Borne sure ly has ln-en a gret "t!e;er thfugh the war.

This keeps no fish I and very few fisherman away from church. :o: It is a very evident fact that a lot cf us are not going to cut as much ice in the eyes of posterity as we im agine. :o: We have often noticed that the ad vent of the first robin didn't niake much difference in the coal bill for five or six weeks. . ...

The hen is coming to the rescue and we hope she will keep it up. :o: As a general thing, a measure which requires a lobby to push it through the legislature hasn't much to reeonnr.end it except a desire en i he part of its backers to get their hands into the public coffers. :o: Some lawyers keep pacing to and from tlie court house fortv or fiftv , , . , times a (lav. more perhaps to make people believe thev are doing big business. But the people are getting harder to fool every day. :o: The legislature seems to be very slow in doing things for the benefit of our own state. Half the insurance companies doing business in Nebraska, pay most of their taxes outside the I state, wheie their principal offices arc. This is a matter that should be watched by legislators. :o: I Despite the report given out by En-lish shippers that only one ship tf-.ilfl- vt ,.-.,. lit him, it..

The Japanese government, branding as "ridiculous" the notion that it would ally itself with Germany to at tack the United States, nevertheless takes careful occasion to reiterate its displeasure with the anti-Japanese legislation pending in the Idaho legis lature. The proposed law, on the in sistence of the state department at Washington, and in response to a long and urgent message from Senator Borah, was at one time withdrawn But it has recently been revived and is being vigorously pushed for passage T'lrwiTi 99 enva tht vipo rivo.crn mtnic.

We realize the embarrassment of the cen- tral government owing to the system of state rights, but it is our duty to protect the dignity, honor and inter- lts Gf Japanese subjects Senator Poindexter thinks that, if we have war with Germany, it will be "merely nominal." That is hardly a safe conclusion for the American peo ple to rest upon. Germany has shown, and admitted, a disposition to make war cost the United States dearly if it is in Germany's power to do so. Ger- many, bv its ruthless submarine war " fare, has shown that there is nothing to make war hideous as well as costly. We know what Germany will do to u We know if it can, should war come that Japans protestations ot irienu- "'r uo v,t 'uj"'J i" iwv. must be taken with more than a grain of sa,t- Japan will ever be loyal and friendly to Japan. There is no Chris- tian system of ethics to keep Japan from eloing to us what ermany did to Belgium, or what Great Britain is do- ing to Greece, if Japan has the power and self-interest propels. We know too, that to the south of us are 15,000,-. 000 people hostile to the United States, and what government those people have is not only unfriendly but trickv aml foolish both. Right at this time it does appear that, if war were declared, Germany would have slight power to do us ma terial damage. It would perhaps keep even more of our ships penned in port than are there noW r else sink a man' more than U is sinkin' now' Conceivably it might make trouble at the Panama canal and at some other seaboard points. The worst is couh! do, under present conditions, it seems could hardly be classed as serious. But suppose that Germany should succeed with its submarine campaign. It is not entirely beyond conjecture that this might happen.

It would wish to fight a little separate wrist-slapping war of its own, inde pendent of any alliances. But how long it would be able to do so is a problem that only the-- ominous future can solve. This much seems reason ity: lhat once we are at war with Germany we could not afford to let Germany win the war with the en tente. Whatever sacrifice were neces sary to prevent that, even though it were as great as France has made, we might be obliged to assent to. It is no more within our nower to sav where the "nath of trlorv" will lend us. once Wf V) u ctit i" ont nnrtri it tlliiti it v;k m Germany s Pwer t0 know when in ii. . r a . i i i . l ii ine summer oi ivi i, u uiuneiy anc. confidently started its unapproachable military machine in the direction oi Paris across Belgium. Facing the grim actualities of the situation it is incomprehensible that American senators should have beer willing to deny the president th hearty and patriotic support of con gress in coping with it. The one ra tional hope the United States can en tertain of escaping a grisly future lie: in the whselom and firmness and pa tience of Woodrow Wilson. Anel for him to be able to act effectively th world must know that he has a uniteo country behind him. Americans who fail to support him now are as insane ly culpable as would be passengers or, a vessel struggling for life in a wild ytorm at sea who incited the crew tc mutiny against the faithful and ex perienced captain on the bridge.
