The Road
To Glory
FROM THE DARTMOUTH.
Nobody wanted war in 1914 either.
Historians who have discarded the Sunday
school view that the World war was precipitated
by William the Damned of Germany have dug into
the international archives deeply enough to dis
cover that international conflict was not desired by
any great powers when its outbreak came.
In one short month of conversation and threats,
rational passions were so inflamed that peace
loving citizens flocked to the colors, eager to de
stroy their enemies. The bubbles of the pacifists
were pricked and men who had pledged opposition
to war died because Serbian nationalists had de
cided to kill an Austrian archduke.
Nobody wants war now.
Americans are as firmly convinced of the
blessedness of their isolation as they were 20 years
ago. And they are riding blissfully toward the
same haven to which the men of 1917 were driven.
Why and how did we go to war?
The answer to this question, as Charles Beard
suggests, comes only in a complicated equation.
And in looking at the equation we must not for
get all American news of war came thru British
controlled cable wires, that practically every Amer
ican foreign representative was anti-German, that
"patriotic organizations" continually appealed for
defense of our national honor, that we possessed a
serious financial stake in the victory of the allied
forces, that atrocities were common on both sides
as were violations of American rights.
At the beginning of the war, President Wilson
enjoined "neutrality in fact as well as in name." In
the next year, this policy was so modified that his
own ambassadors were treating with the British
foreign office, that discretionary neutrality per
mitted heavy loans to be made to the allies, that
American ships were sailed right thru the war dan
ger zone. Somebody exerted pressure so that peace
policy was changed and measures adopted which
made American participation in war inevitable.
In 3917, Senator George F. Norris in voting
against the declaration of war declared that "we
were about to put the dollar sign on the American
flag."
In the years that followed, the record of meti
culous a'.u incessant commercial pressure was slow
ly uncovered, and Lord Northcliffe, British press
mogul, published his famous declaration that the
wartime gullibility of the Americans was equaled
only by that of the Chinese. President Wilson told
a senate committee that we probably would have
gone to war regardless of German acts against our
citizens.
When the next conflict breaks out, when money
beats the drum and the patriots play the fife will
we be any more successful in staying out of war?
Will our present neutrality legislation which
gives the president the same discretion Wilson ex
ercised in 1914 be effective?
Will our non-partisanship survive wartime com
mercial pressure ?
Should the nation affirm a mandatory embargo
against wartime supplies to belligerents or should
it again allow the president to pick choices among
the fighting nations?
These are the questions to be answered by
those who have no desire for a recrudescence of
1917.
These are the questions to be answered by
those who remember the fateful and symbolic tele
gram Ambassador Page sent to Wilson in March,
1917:
". . . . the pressure of the financial crisis has
gone beyond the ability of the Morgan financial
agency for the British and French governments.
The need is becoming too great and urgent for any
private agency to meet. . . . Perhaps our going to
war is the only way in which our present prom
inent trade position can be maintained."

FLOOD waters of the rampant
Ohio river again have swollen
tributary rivers and streams over
an area covering six eastern states
to menace the safety of the many
inhabitants. First reports from
the flood area indicate 15 have
died and a number missing. Presi
dent Roosevelt has ordered the
Red Cross to administer aid to the
refugees. Receding flood waters
are feared as much as the power

every town it nears, roaring down

SENATORIAL Investigation
regarding the dismissal of ous
ter proceedings against a Ken
tucky county sheriff by Gov
ernor Chandler may cause him
to forfeit his pleasant nickname
of "Happy." The Washington
senate accused the governor of
dismissing the ouster proceed
ings on the grounds that the
records in the case had been
"lost or destroyed" when they
were actually available In of
ficial files. The civil liberties
committee, chairmaned by Sen
ator LaFollette, has opened a
sensational case characterized
by Kentucky's Harlan county
domination by certain powerful
Interests.

Senator P. L. Cady of F-remont
had just retired to his hotel room
to spend a quiet evening away
from the hubub and strains of a
legislator's activities. But, having
observed the
senator's note
worthy legisla
tive record, we
were desirous
of meeting an
other of the
outstanding fig
ures in Nebras
ka's first uni
cameral assem
bly. As a result,
we met Senator
and Mrs. Cady
at the door of
their room.
To the Fre-
. . Sen ii I or
mum. repieaem-..From Uncon journal
a t ive, legisla
tive bills No. 245 and 246, which
provide for county budgeting and
county taxation respectively, are
the most forward looking meas
ures passed during the entire
body. Senator Cady believes the
the measure, which will place the
county government on a budget
basis and provides that there be a
published notice of the budget
hearing, will make Nebraska
county government more efficient
and more economical.
A bill, known to all legislative
colleagues as the Cady liquor
bill, has also been one of the
most important measures consid
ered by this year's assembly.
Providing for a raised tax on
liquor by the gallon, the reve
nue under the measure will go
into the state assistance fund.
The Fremont representative was
also sponsor with Senator Arm
strong of the bindweed control
bill which has passed the uni
cameral body and will clear
some 400,000 acres of Nebraska
land of undesirable bindweed.
Chairman of the government
committee, the second largest com
mittee of the unicameral, and a
member of the agriculture com
mittee and the water irrigation
and drainage committee. Senator
Cady is a staunch supporter of the
unicameral form of government.
He believes that the state is prof
iting by its legislature, and that
the people of this commonwealth
are getting better legislation as a
result of more thoro committee
procedure.
"It would also seem that the
people at the present time are
more legislative conscious than
ever before. When old forms of
government have been tried and
found wanting, the people, espe
cially in the state of Nebraska
have become open-minded and
have demanded a better municipal,
county, and state government,''
the senator stated.
As a representative of district
11, the second most thickly pop
ulated district in the state, and
composed of Dodge and Wash
ington counties, Senator Cady
finds it difficult to keep abreast
with all the business he is ex
pected to perform. But he has
a solution to the problem that
has troubled the majority of Ne
braska representatives because
in the chair next to that of the
Fremont representative sits Mrs,
Cady, ready to do whatever
work will assist her husband.
Altho some criticism has been
thrown to the Nebraska legislature
because it still has several weeks
of work before it, Senator Cady ex
plains that not a single member
had a single precedent upon which
to base his work. The senator be
lieves that the senate sifting com
mittee has a great value. He is
definitely against any form of
lobbying.
"Lobbying," the senator
stated, "is one of the biggest
dangers of any legislature. Often
large and monied groups can
bring Influence on legislators
that might cause measures to be
passed that are not for the best
Interests of the people. Lobby
ists are too concerned with the
'every man for himself' Idea of
government."
Senator Cady represents a dis
trict with more automobiles than
any other. His district 11 also
has a lower percentage of people
on relief than any other district.
A member of the regular and spe
cial sessions of 10.'if, the senator
has had a broad experience in po
litical circles. He is veterinarian
and is a member of the education
committee of the national veterin
arian association. He has also
served as mayor of Arlington.
One of the two doctor of the uni
cameral, Senator Cady is a demo
crat, 53, married, and has three
Bona. One son is in the University
at the present time. Mr. Cady's
chief hobbies are baseball, wild
life and conservation, and boy's
organizations.

A revolting preamble! A likely sequel! The one leads to

Sober, a substantial citizen, perhaps. Intoxicated, a public men

The restraining arm of doubt is not sufficient. The warning of
common sense will not do. Such things only encourage him and
make him more determined. "I'm O.K., see! Don't tell me I can't
drive; that's what you think. Are you coming? Come on!"
Obstinate, defiant of all social responsibility, he stands poised
an enemy to mankind, an enemy to himself. Nothing short of a
punch in the jaw would bring him to his senses.

"But how can I use a snorer on
