    Norris St:md Against War.
North Platte, 'Nab.—To the Editor
of The Omaha Bee; "Lest We For
ftl
The events leading up lo the entry
of the United State* into the world
war developed into a remarkable
dramatic situation. For the first time
In the history of civilized warfare the
German government exereised anil as
serted a right to fence off a large part
of the Atlantic ocean. Not only cover
inp 'he approaches to Great Britain
and France, but also to the neutral
powers. Norway, Sweden, Denmark
and Holland.
And Germany proceeded to ruthless
ly destroy the American commerce
found within the prescribed area,
with the use of the submarine. Add
contrary to the rules of all civilized
naval warfare gave no opportunity for
the saving of the lives of American
citizens engaged In lawful commerce.
The American government protested
vigorously and repeatedly against this
war so carried on against American
ships engaged In lawful commerce.
Such protests proved unavailing and j
the unlawful war was carried on.
Public acntlment In the United i
States finally culminated in a demand !
for this government to take up arms’
In defense of Amerh-an rights. And 1
In response to this demand President
Wilson delivered his famous war incs
si*e, asking congress to declare that
a state of war existed between Ger
many and her allies and the United
States. *
This action of the president was
hailed with delight by the great mass
of the American people. The lower
house of congress bv an almost tin
ainimous vote adopted the declaration.
In the senate a pro German minority
of seven s-natora entered Into a con
spiracy to prevent a vote on the
f ono«ltion hy filibustering. And as
this centred In the last few days prior
to March 4. when that congress would
expire they succeeded by talking
ag.iinst time.
The leader and the hralns of this
lu*o German combination w as Senator
T.a Knllette and the tall, of It was N’e
hreska’s senntnr George W. Norris.
The fact that the American people
were practically unanimous for this
declaration as was Nebraska, the .on
st.tuency of Geo. W. Norris had no
weight with this beautiful seven. On
the morning of the fourth of March
.Senator Norris had the floor of the
senate until the gavel for adjourn
ment fell, delivering an unpatlotic ad
dress, apologizing for and justifving
the acts of the German government in
destroying peaceful American com
rnerce.
Senator Norris Is asking for re
nomination as a republican candidate
for t'nlted States senator at the
primaries of April S. He admits that
he is not a republican and he proves
It by offering the indorsement of
Senator I.a Koilette, under whose
leadership Senator Norris has been
waging warfare against the republican
party and its policies.
A vote for Norris at the primary
will he a vote indorsing his pro-Ger
man activities and his anti-republican
career. Why not for a change elect
a true blue republican and a 16val
American. We will have an op
portunity of doing so by voting for
Charles H. Sloan.

Walkers Who Delay Traffic.
Omaha—To the Editor of The Oma
ha Bee: Cannot something he done to
prevent the balky jiedestrian from in
sisting upon taking whichever side
of the pavement his or her fancy
dictates, regardless of the fact that
by walking on the left side they are
impeding the progress of those com
ing from the opposite direction?
One allowances should, perhaps, lie
made for those In from the country
hut Omaha folks are just as guilty in
this resjiect as the “Main Streeters."
Then again one observes so many peo
ple choosing the center of the walks
to stop and converse, which the
writer has seen hapjren time and
again on even so crowded an inter
section as Sixteenth and iarnam
Streets.
It has taken me minutes to walk a
block on Sixteenth street, all the
time being engaged In trying to avoid
those coming the other way. I have
made far better time In congested
New York and have vet to visit s
city either east or west where jveople
walk In such a haphazard manner as
thev do here
Shmetlme ago we had some s gne
up reading “Keep to the Right," Has
Omaha removed these because it con
siders It a hopeless task to tearh the
i n considerate, and provincials the
jiroper method of walking in a city
1 would suggest that these signs iie
again posted in conspicuous plm es so
that In time the peo|ile will move
along the walks in an effir lent manner
and Omaha will not referred to bk
an overgrown country town by both
east and west.

"PRESSURE” FOR A NEW DEPOT.
Terminal facilities are just as essential to rail
road operation as are tracks. Without the one the
other would he useless. Unless the terminal facili
ties are adequate to care for the traffic that is
hrought to them, delay and loss is inevitable. These
are transportation truisms, just now reflected in the
Union depot issue in Omaha.
That better accommodations for passenger traffic
are needed is confessed by the action jaf the rail
roads themselves. Freight depots have been greatly
enlarged and extended since the passenger stations
were erected. If the freight business demanded en
larged facilities for its proper handling, certainly
the passenger traffic deserves the“sqme attention.
It, too, has enlarged. In 1900, two years after the
present depots were put into commission, Omaha
had a population of 102,000; now the census credits
us with 204,000, an increase in 24 years of exactly
100 per cent, and still growing. Facilities at the
railroad stations have not increased accordingly,
although the demand on them for service has more
than doubled.
Not Omaha alone, but the surrounding country'
is concerned in this. Population has increased, travel
has increased, the number of people going in and
out of the Union and Burlington stations each day
is steadily growing, and will grow. It is on this basis
that Omaha asks for better accommodations.
Walter Head put the matter very neatly, when
he assumed that Mr. Gray had felt the gentle pres
sure bf popular demand. We appreciate the situa
tion of the railroad executive. His problems are
complicated by demands from all sources and of all
natures. Each has its advocates who press with all
convenient zeal for the furtherance of their ends.
Omaha is necessarily included in this list. Only
Omaha is not asking an unreasonable thing in this.
No thought is held that a great monument shall be
erected here. Thinking men have questioned the
wisdom of such investments as have been made in
other cities, where hundreds of millions of dollars
have been forever fastened in passenger stations.
These are an economic burden on the whole public.
Every dollar that has been lavished on features that
are not serviceable is a dollar wasted.
What Omaha wants is a passenger station that
will take care of not only the present needs of the
city, but will reasonably anticipate the fufure. One
very conservative estimate, made by a corporation
whose business requires it to look ahead, considers
Omaha as certain to double in size within another
score of years. In the very nature of things, the
railroads must provide for this growth.
President I* inley of the Northwestern pleasantly
suggests that Omaha build the depot and rent it to
the railroads. That might not be beyond reason, if
the rest of the Plumb plan were accepted, or even
the Howell plan. The Northwestern just now is a
tenant of the Union Pacific so far as the Union sta
tion is concerned. So are the other lines whose
trains enter the station. Were the city in position
to finance the operation, it might as well collect the
rents as the railroad company.
But that does not solve the problem. It is one
which the railroads must adjust between themselves
If it comes to an independent corporation, such as
the Kansas City or Denver depot companies, let them
form such an organization, and finance it to a sue
cess. If a modification of the Charles Francis Adams
leases, on which the present tenancy rests, is needed,
'hat also is for the railroads to work out. The courts
have held the leases good, and any change that is
made in them will be for negotiations between the
companies.
What is admitted by all is that better arrange
ment for handling passenger traffic in and out of
Omaha should be provided. No bitterness exists,
and we trust none will enter into the consideration
of the big job. A station that is easy of access, that
will quickly arid safely care for the people wRo must
use it, that will not be unsightly, is all that is asked.
For their own profit the railroads need such a depot.
Why delay?
VANDERLIP ASSUMES A MARTYR’S CROWN.
A rebound of his remarkable course seems to have
hit Frank A. Vanderlip. According to his‘own ac
count, he is about to retire from any active partici
pation in the numerous business enterprise* of which
he has been a director. This was precipitated by a
request that he be removed from the directorate of
the Continental Can company.
This will excite some comment, but the effect of
the gentleman's own action should surprise no one.
That he will emulate some others, who have posed
as martyrs because removed from responsible posi
tions after forfeiting confidence of those responsible
for the management, is forecast by his conduct. Yet
it should not he forgotten that when Mr. Vanderlip
was placed under oath and asked to tell on what he
iiascd his allegations, he admitted he had no proof,
that he was simply repeating gossip.
No amount of insistence as to the purity of his
intention ever can warrant anyone in retailing scan
dal. To repeat slander or libel is an offense not only
against the law hut against good morals as well,
(iood motives can not he pleaded in justification of
such conduct. A man in high position, he does in
finite harm when he publicly states what he after
wards admits he can not prove.
Especially is this true at a time when the public
is being stirred deliberately for partisan purposes.
Mr. Vanderlip will be required to answer In court
for a portion of his foolishness. He will also have to
answer in the court of public opinion. “The work I
am doing in Washington,” to use his own words, so i
far has been to assume that he is the criterion of
public morality, so far as the government is con
cerned. If he knows of any corruption that is not
yet disclosed, he should not delay to brinj? it for
ward. Mere assertions do not prove anything, and
his one great chance to make good passed when he
admitted under oath that he dot not know what he
was talking about.
KEEP GOOD MEN WHEN YOU GET THEM.
When the law creating the Omaha Water board
was passed, it contained<41 provision that member
ship should be divided between the two principal
political parties. This provision is carried over into
the law that constitutes the Metropolitan Utilities
District. The obvious purpose was and is to make
the board absolutely nonpolitical in its nature.
Members of the board are charged with the ad
ministration of three great business undertakings,
water, gas and ice. supply'. The first two are para
mount. Domestic life of the community can not be
carried on without them. Collectively’ they repre
sent an investment of more than $12,000,000 of the
people's money. Nobody questions the fact that the
business has been efficiently’ handled, that public in
terest has been protected, and that nothing has been
omitted that will s^eguard the welfare of the rity
in its relation to tlrese institutions.
A private concern would *ot think of removing
any of its executive or administrative officers, whose
record was dean and whose services were in all re
gards satisfactory, simply to give the place to some
one else who wanted the job. Such things are not
done in private business. No more should they he
done in public affairs.
-Fred D. Wead is a veteran on the Municipal
Utilities Board, having served from its inception.
W. .1. Goad has had several years of such service.
Each is a business man of approved capacity. At
all times ami under all circumltances they- have been
alert to protect the public. On their records as
public officials they stand for re-election. Such serv
ice as they have given justifies thf-ir continuance in
office. For this reason they are recommended to the
voters for faVor on election day.
HASTINGS CELEBRATES ITSELF.
Hastings has just celebrated an event that marks j
an epoch in the city’s growth. It was the informal
opening and acceptance of the municipal audi
torium, “the full realization of a dream of three dec
ades or more," according to the Tribune. It is
located on what is to be a civic center of magni
ficient proportions.
Let us admit without argument that the build
ing is all that is claimed for it, that it is the
finest and best appointed of its kind in the state.
That is what it should be, to meet the needs and
aspirations of a community so enterprising and far
seeing as to bring such a dream to fruition. Its
importance lies in the fact that it is a substan
tial evidence of the civic spirit of Hastings, the !
unified expression of the public purpose on which
the greatness of any community large or small
finally must rest. Public buildings advertise to the
eye, not of the stranger or casual visitor alone,
but the citizen more than anybody else the im
portance of his home town.
N'o man whose heart is not wholly calloused but
will feel it swell as he approaches a structure in
which is combined the efforts of all the citizens
in their endeavor to provide something that will
typify the courage, the energy and the confidence
of thp people who make up the community. There
fore, The Omaha Bee congratulates the people of
Hastings on having brought to pass the vision they
have nurtured so long, and under the circumstances ]
that attended the acceptance. Not only was praise j
given the mayor who launched the enterprise, th«
architect who planned the building, hut the con
tractor and his foreman were congratulated on the
faithful manner in which they had carried out the
trust they assumed. Long may that building stand
a credit to Hastings.
SENATOR, “SAYS A MOUTHFUL.” ,
Out of the tumult and shouting at Washington
emerges a still small voice, something like the con
science of a senator, trying to make itself heard :
above the din. Senator Robinson of Arkansas warns
other senators that a great mass of public business
is going unheeded. Legislation needed and prom
ised is neglected, relief is being denied, and the sen
ate is wasting time. He enumerates quite a list of
matters that should have prompt attention, if the sen
ate is to come anywhere near justifying its ex
istence.
The public has knou-n all this for some time, but |
we wonder who it wss told Senator Robinson. He
surely did not discover it from Roxie Stinson, or A1
•Tennings, or Gaston B. Means, or any of the other
“notables" who recently have be.en regaling the
world, and the senate especially, with tales of their
own importance, and, we fear, their own invention
as well. Senator Robinson has devoted considerable
time in the senate since the first of the year, sup
porting his amiable colleague, Carraway, in his as
saults on* republicans, and particularly on the presi
dent and his cabinet. If time has been wasted, no
body knows better when or how or why than does
Senator Robinson.
A Norwegian scientist is credited with Inventing
a plan whereby the next war will be fought with
mechanical soldiers guided by wireless. But why
should there be any next war?
The Sherman avenue housewives won their battle
against the paving material plant in jig time. All
they have to do now is to consolidate the victory by
getting the plant removed.

I not as an advocate hut «* * mere

K«*ndric*k **"
John Benjamin Kendrick Is l’nlted
Htstea senator from Wyoming, and
'he's a dem'H'rat, *»4 >rar* old. who
entered the senate In 1S17 and was
reelected In 1*22. administering a
first rale heating to the republican
candidate, F. W. Mondell, who sat in
the house of representatives con
tinuously for 24 years, and was te
publican floor leader In two gesso ns.
Who launched the slogan? We are
pot sure, hut the Buffalo (Wyo i Voce
democratic, i spushinE it along, with
the unqualified assertion that "the
whole west is for him.”
Kendrick was horn In the steer
country of Texas, drove a herd of cat-1
tie from Matagorda hay to Wjorn-j
ing In 1S7S and settled down for life,
in that bailiwick of ranches. He still;
raises cattle on a large si ale. He ha»
the biggest ranch out there and he
is president of the Western Stock
men's association, whose interests
range all the territory west of the
Mississippi river. He has no love for
the big packers and he is credited
with iielng the wielder of a powerful
cudgel In behalf of the man who pro
duces calves and rears them into
steers.
The Buffalo Voice likes Kendrick
because, it says, there is no tincture
of oil about him. although his habitat
is almost within hailing distance of
the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve.
From the floor of the senate Ken-i
drick has assailed the oil leave asj
"vicious and criminally wasteful.”
It may he remembered. ' says The I
Voice, "that the western frontier'
made a Dincoln. when once before the
people turned to an Honest Abe from!
the then frontier of Illinois. The
western frontier built a Roosevelt, a
man whom the west moulded, helped
to educate—and elected. The western

derful campaigner. True, he is a new man in state affairs and
