The note falls to meet the Ameri can demand that thu names of Ameri can firms be stricken from the black list, hut attempts to convince the statu department that the llritlsh position Is just and founded on law. It leaves open thu door for further negotatlon, which Is expected to follow. A part which attracted much offi cial notice dealt with tho subject of peace, based on tho theory that ono American contention had been that there exists no military necessity for thu blacklist; that nothing which hap pens in distant neutral countries can lufiucuco the result of tho great con HlcL In Its argument the note points out that German business houses through out the world liavo furthered tho cause of Germany In the war. Tho note apparently admits llrltaln has altered the position previously held with the United States, that doml clio nnd not nationality is the test of enemy character, and argues that in this war nationals or belligerents dom iciled fnr from homo may render great aid and comfort, admitting that theso aro sought to be reached by the black list measure.

Tho mobiliza tion probably cost the government nearly 1100,000, but the state got off easy. General Hall will ask tho gov ernment to refund thu amount spent by the state. Whether or not an net of congress Is necessary or whether the war dopnrtment has funds that can bo used has not been determined, but tho stato expects to bo reim bursed.

Urges County Visiting Nurses For tho purpose of hunting out tu berculosis, a dlseaso which kills one out of every seven Inhabitants, but which can be prevented and can be ourd in a majority of cases ir taken in hand early, Dr. L. S. B. Robinson, superintendent of the state hospital for tuberouloBis at Kearney, urges the legislature to make some provi sion for county visiting nurses. He also asks for a survey of the state to dig tho disease out of tho dark cor ners where it hides and bring it to treatmont. Doctor Robinson delivered an ad dreBs last week bofore tho state board of control at a conference or heads of Btate Institutions at tho stato or thopedic hospital In Lincoln.

Holland took a rap at state laws which prescribe certain kinds of blinds and decoys for bird shooting as being superfluous, H 3TATUTE8 ARE CONFLICTING Board Will Meet Next Week to Can vass the Votes. Secretary of Stntc Pool is still re ceiving official returns from counties and is proparlng to hnvo tho returns tabulated for the Information of all concerned nnd for tho usu of the stato canvassing board. The law provides that the canvass ing board, consisting of the governor, secretary of Btatc, auditor, treasurer and attorney general shall meet tho third Monday after tho election. The election Is hold tho first Tuesday In November. It camo this year Novem ber 7, so under the Inw tho olllclal meeting of the statu canvassing board will not take place until November 27. This will not prevont tho secretary of state from having all the returns tabulated long before the official days set for tho canvass. Two conflicting sections of the stat utu, neither of which appears to have ever been repented, mnko It uncertain what tho state canvassing board is to do. it Is likely that it has nothing to do excopt canvass the vote on the prohibitory amendment and the Hnr mnn food amendment. One section relates to tho duties of the stato board at a time when annual general elections were held. Biennial elections aro now hold under an amendment to tho constitution. Ono section of the statute gays the state canvassing board shall canvass tho vote cast for presidential electors, Judges of thu suprume and district courts, and re gents of tho university, and also for executive officers chosen In the odd numbered years. Another section of the statute says the votes cast for governor and other executive stato officers, railway commissioners, choice for United States senator and for president and vice president shall be canvassed by the legislature. Both statutes aro of the output of 1897. Presidential electors meet nt Lin coln nt noon the Saturday preceding tho second Mondny in January and report to the governor. The electors hold n second meeting the Becond Monday in January and proceed to the election In conformity with tho constitution of the United StateB and forward their vote to Washington. Evidently Considers Building Safe The fact that J. 11. Craddock, a profession architect, one of the twelve democrats chosen to represent Doug las county In the legislature, and who was appointed by Governor More head and thu state board of educa tional lands and buildings to co-operate with Stato Engineer Johnson in a report on the conditions of rep resentative hall, lias selected a scat in the danger zone, is considered prima facie evldenco that the hall is safe, or at least that ho deems it safe. It 1b noticed, however, that Mr. Craddock selected a seat on the north side of the hall, far from the sink ing south walls, and close to an exit into tho chief clerk's office. Eleven Douglas representatives will sit in a group. Jerry Howard, the twelfth Douglas representative, refuses to associate with the other "apostles" from Omaha whom he says were chosen by big business. He will sit by himself in the front row. Boosting Langhorst for Job Friends of L. F. Langhorst, chair man of the democratic state central committee during the campaign just closed, are said to be grooming him for the position of deputy food com missioner, to succeed Charles E. Harman. Mr. Langhorst iu private life is a merchant at Elmwood, Cass county, and has distinguished himself some what In past years by the excellent organization he had had in his home county. He was selected as tho most available man by the democrats of tho state lost summer. If Mr. Har mon's amendment had carried it is quite likely ho would have been re appointed, but the failure of the amendment leaves tho position more open. During his incumbency in of'lce Mr. Harman, who is from Holdrege, has been aggressive in the enforcement of tho pure rood laws .of tho stato. Tho ofilce of the state printing com mission is likely to bo vacated soon by Eugeno A. Wnlrath, who, It is un derstood, Is to bo a candldnto again for secretary or tho senate. Tom' Palmor, former chief clerk in tho office of the stnto veterinarian, has beon mentioned for the place. To Work With State University Frank Ringer, secretary or tho Ne braska manufacturers' association, told members or the Lincoln Rotary club at a recent weekly luncheon, that steps are being taken to bring about more effective co-op ration be tween Nebraska industries and the University or Nebraska. Mr. Ringer said thnt the influenco or the univer sity in promoting modern manuractur Ing methods should be as great as its Influence In increasing agricultural efficiency. Chancellor Samuel Avery or the university, Mr. Rlngor Bald, will at tend the convention of the state man ufacturers' association in Omaha, and discussed tho plans under way to have retail dealers of the state at tend upecinl lecturo sessions at the university during their convention In Lincoln next spring. F. C. Radko and L. T. Fleetwood, both senior law students at tho Mate university, were the successful candi dates for tho legislature In theTr coun ties.
