The neutrality proclamation Issued by Pres ident Wilson officially recognizes the state of war between the leading European nations and warns all that we are not to take sides In the f-on'Hct. To maintain strict neutrality Is obviously the duty of this country. Having do entangling alliances with any of the belligerents, and no desire to be drawn Into the vortex, no effort "should be spared to observe neutrality, and to perform all the duties imposed upon a non combatant country to exact observance of neu tral rights by those at war with one another. Fortunately, our dints tire from the original seat of disturbance should greatly facilitate us In such a policy, for we are not likely to come Into direct contact except on. the high seas. The maintenance of strict neutrality on the part of the United States cannot, however, gov ern the sympathies of our people. With our population made up almost wholly of former subjects of the different European countries, or descendants of their former subjects, their sym pathies are bound to be divided. The peculiar combinations which this war presents must con fuse those sympathies still further, as, for ex ample, where friends of Britain entertain an abhorrence Of Russia, or where admirers of the German emperor have no patience with the fierce Balkan bands. It Is natural and Inevitable that Americans will have a lively Interest in the fortunes ot the war, regardless of our neutrality, and will sit In stern Judgment upon the conduct of the bat tling races and the prowess of their military masters. These are the days when the "doubtful Voter" begins to get chesty. What a dull, prosaic thing a repetition of the Caillaux trial would be. Russia Is coming, no doubt, but with char acteristic Russian deliberation. Europe continues to buy our American wheat Oh, how could It keep from it? Mexico Is making baste slowly In fact, de spite all 'lts mad rush, la In no hurry at all. If you would live long and happy, avoid a conversation on the war with the telegraph editor. " . The United States will maintain neutrality. That's so! We were neutral in the Mexican war, too. ... Twenty, miles of, British war ships Is enough to send the cold chills up the back of the brav-' est enemy. , ' v ; ' After .this war Europe may look as it some great map-changing finder ot rivers of doubt, had struck It. ' ' What chance has a poor American tourist to get out ot Europe when they commandeer bis automobile and stop the trains? But In the United Statea Germans, Britons, French, Slavs, Russians and Austrtans are all Just plain, everday peaceful Americans. Up to the hour of going to' press .Mr. T. Withdrawal Blackburn was . still hesitating about withdrawing the withdrawal of his with drawal. ' No doubt some well known bribe peddlers axe saying to themselves, "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good." But the excitement may pass sooner than they hope. , It Is officially announced that there Is plenty of money available to move the crops. Yes, and the Nebraska farmer wants It known that he has plenty of crops In sight to move the money. . ' If he wereonly sure of being able to hang ra to all those naturalisation fees.

' ' Bearing in mlud this, that all ot these war- mad roonarchs claim to rule by Divine right, one gets the full force of the . folly of a war that drives men of peaceful pursuits and purposes sway from their life's work and into the bloody business' of killing each other.

While too much to expect that war-mad Eu rope will at once leave off the passion for fight log, President Wilson's proffered mediation is nevertheless consistent with both our national peace professions and our obligations under The Hague tribunal. Its eventual acceptance is n,o doubt within the probabilities, but not until the warring nations have sufficiently felt the force of one another's steel to be willing to heed their own better judgment. Failure on the part of . President Wilson to have acted would have subjected our govern ment to criticism, though with no prospect of immediate response.' Bo long as The Hague treaty both permits and requires us as a stranger to the dispute to offer mediation, there was nothing else for us to do and uphold our reputation as a peace-loving nation. Ii This What We Want? Oue ot the constitutional amendments sub mitted by the last Nebraska legislature for popular ratification proposes to change our sys tem of unanimous Jury verdicts, and to substi tute verdicts by a five-sixth vote. This change is urged as a matter ot judicial reform to do away with the single obstinate juror holding out against his fellows, either de feating Justice pr forcing a new trial. Verdicts by less than the full number of twelve Jurors, it is pointed out, have been provided for in Mis souri, Kentucky, Idaho, South Dakota, Wyoming and Washington, and Nebraska la asked to fol low the lead of these six state Careful investigation discloses, however, that the form of our proposed amendment carries the five-sixths jury verdict, not only for civil eases, but also for criminal cases where the of fense is lefs than a felony. In this feature only one state, Idaho, baa taken this departure of withholding from any criminal on final trial the presumption of innocence until adjudged guilty by the unanimous finding ot a jury of bis peers. In all the other states which per mit verdicts In criminal cases without unanimity, or by a jury of less than twelve, there Is a re striction to courts not ot record, and presum ably subject to appeal to courts of record. In Nebraska conviction for offenses less than fel onies may entail imprisonment in a county jail up to one year, and the statutes are full ot mis demeanor penalties for all sorts of minor law violation, which would be afteoted by the pro posed change. While The Bee la not hore arguing the points at Issue, It believes the people of Nebraska should know what the -amendment contemplate and ask themselves the question whether this li what they want. The subject is of all the more present Importance because the amendment Is to be on the primary ballot, and! to be counted in by the fiction of straight party votes it It has -a majority vote of the votes cast on It In the primary. '' Let Aliens Here Become Citizeni. The bill Introduced in the house excluding re-admission into the United States of all aliens who leave to engage in the European war may, if enacted into law, have the desired effect of discouraging foreigners in the future continuing in this country without becoming cttliens. Pro longed allenshtp ahouid bear its penalttea be cause It is both unjuat to the United States as well as to the native country. It tends to Intro duce here exclusive doniestlo problems of the fatherland and thereby complicate relations be tween otherwise friendly nations. One of the most serious objections of the anti-immigration-lsts' would be removed, or greatly modified, by such" legislation. The foreigner who cornea her simply to gain some temporsry advantage for himself, or escape the obligations of hla cltlsen ship abroad, while enjoying the blessings ot our free institutions aud yet giving nothing in re turn. Is not the one to whom the wholesome American welcome is extended. la such crises as the present, with all Europe at war, the ad ditional advantages ot American citizenship should .be .very apparent and. potent.. Suppose one tf the officers of the Herman array were caught with the goods trying to help Russia, what do you think would happen to him? But that Is exactly the offense National Committeeman Howell perpetrated when, after accepting an- officer's commission carrying re sponsibility in the management ot the campaign for the republican standard-bearer, be then treacherously put tn his time and money to de feat the ticket to which he had pledged hla faith, and which he was In honor bound to support.

It every woman In Kanras who Is ll ibla to a vote casts a ballot today, I doubt If any MD.Oni) or any SO.ono will vote, from the supreme Indifference they have shown In the registration in Kaneas. I doubt If there are as many as tno.000 In the state anyhow who can register and vote. The dlepatch was evidently meant to deceive the general public. r. A. AON EW. avaerr Saffrme. WHEATLAND, Wyo., Aug. 8.--TO the Editor of The Bee: la the sneering, con temptuous tone In which that woman (I will not csll her a lady) from Council Bluffs replies to Rev. Hult a sample of what we may expect when equal suf frage gets under full headway? What more convincing evidence of the' essen tial infidelity and Immorality so char acterise of the feminist movement Is afforded than her discourteous, not to say Insulting, remarks? When equal suf frsglsts feel emboldened to attack the Bible and to denounce St Paul as a sax maniac, are we not warranted In believ ing that feminism was conceived In the spirit of ansrehy and Is now about to be brought forth In rebellion and revolution? Tho Rev. Hult Impresses me as a thinker and a man of thorough culture and wide reading. Whatever he writes la characterised by marked distinction In both thought and style. He affords us a welcome relief from the dreary drivel and silly sophistries wtilch the equal suf frage blatherskite are putting forth In lieu of solid fscta and convincing logic As for the Bible and Bt Paul, thay wilt live and be read and quoted long. long after the short-haired female agitators and their long-haired male sympathisers have sunk into deserved oblivion. . U N. MOORE. trelaad's Opsertasltr. OMAHA, Aug. B.-To the Editor of The Bee: In a personal letter to Mr. Red mond I am reminding him of the old Irish adage. "England's difficulty is Ira land's opportunity." Copy ot the latter forwarded to J. E. Redmond and to the leading Irish papers. To him I say: "It Is with feelings of dep regret we notice your1 duplicity In dealing with the Irish home rule question during the pres ent European crisis. Tour action at the present ttma does not In any way postu late patriotism, and your assertion in the House of Commons on August t, that the Irish national volunteers would safeguard English Interests In Irelsnd Is nothing short of felonous, when w gudge It from an Irish viewpoint Tou seem to forget. or utterly Ignore the principle for which IrUhmen gave their last drop of blood. England's difficulty Is Ireland's oppor tunity." Tcur honesty and Integrity as an Irish patriot Is now being tested and on your quick action now depends whether your name Is to be held up to honor or burled tn obllquy. we want an undivided Ireland from north to south. from east te west, and when I say this I an voicing not only the sentiments ot the Irish in America, but of every son ot the Gael the world over. If you cannot afford to hurt British sensibilities, tben In the name of freedom. In the nsme ot the Irish race; yes, In the name of God Himself render t-P the sceptre of author ity to some other Irishman who will wield It more effectively for the honor of old Ireland and for the glory of the Gsel."

J . What Is Contraband? From the New York Tlmee.) The question whit constitutes contraband of war Is csuslng the greaUst concern to shippers, and the perplesed state of the International law n the ques tion Is making It difficult for steamship men to know when they are carry, n a cargo that Is reasonably safe from conflmatlo.i, in the event of further declar ations of war In Europe. Millie the definition of rontrsbond Is elsstlc, there Is now an International list of articles which can never at any time be contraband. The most important of these articles to America Is cotton, which heads the list of noncontrahend goods. Of almost equal Im portance Is the fact that gold is on the conditional contraband list. Oold becomes contraband- If It ,1a shipped to a nation involved In war, and is liable to seizure by ships of the enemy of that country. Cotton wss placed on the noncontraband list at the London naval conference, although It Had been treated as contraband by Russia during the RuSso Japanese war. While the tandem declaration has not been ratified by all nations. It is practically cer tain, according to Dr. Ellery C. Stowe. assistant pro fessor of International law at Columbia university, that Its shipment would not be Interfered with by any Euopean nation in case of a general war. Absolute contraband, which Is always liable to seisure, consists of war material, gus, ammunition, military vehicles, ete. Other articles; except those on the noncontraband list, may be treated as con traband by a belligerent after giving notice to neutral nations of the articles which it has classed as liable to seisure. Conditional contraband Is liable to seisure at no time except when It Is destined to tr.w territory of an enemy, and then It can be seised with as little ceremony as If It were actual war material. Artels 35 of the London declaration Is as follows: - "Conditional contraband Is not liaofe to capture except when found on board a vessel bound for ter ritory belonging to er occupied by an enemy or for the armed forces of the enemy, and when It is not to be discharged at an Intervening neutral pert The ship's papers are conclusive proof both -as to the voyage In which the vessel Is engaged and as to the port of discharge of the goods, unless its Is found clearly out of the course Indicated by its papers and unable to give adequate reasons to Justify such de viation." Article 34 is as follows "The following articles, susceptible of use in war ss well as tor purposes of peace, may without notice be treated as contraband of war, under the "name of conditional contraband: "1. Foodstuffs. , "S. Forage and grain suitable for feeding animals. "1 Clothing, fabrics for clothing, and boots and shoes suitable for use In war. "4. Gold and silver In coin or bullion; paper money. . Vehicles of ail kinds available for use In war and their component parts. "a. Vessels, ore ft, and boats of all kinds;- float ing docks, parts of docks, and their component parts. "I. Railway materials, both fixed and rolling stock and material for telegraphs, wireless telegraphs, , and telephones "I. Balloons and flying machines and their com-. ponent parts, together with accessories and articles recognisable as Intended for use In connection with balloons and flying machines. "I. Fuel; lubricants. "10. Powder and explosives not specially prepared for use In wsr. . "11. Barbed wire and Implements for fixing and cutting same. "It Horseshoes and shoeing, materials. . 'ii Harness and saddling. : t "14. Field glasses, telescopes, chronometers, and all . kinds of nautical instruments." - - V. - ..." T.-'-r;;l A neutral vessel .la liable to capture-When more than one-half of its cargo Is contraband. . The war r ess al making the selxure msy measure its contra band by value, volume, weight, or the freight rate, and if It can bring the contraband up -to more than one-half of the cargo by any of the four methods It may make a prise of the ship. The following are the articles which ' can never be classed aa contraband, according to article 2$. of the London declaration: . r "1. Raw cotton, wool, silk, jute, flax, hemp, and other raw materials ot the terrible industries and yards of the same. "2. Oil seeds and nuts; copra. - ". Rubber, resins, gums, and laces; 'hops. "4. Raw hides and horns; bones and Ivory. "6. Natural and artificial manures, Including nitrates and phosphates for agricultural purposes. . Metallic ores. 1 "7. Earths, clays, lime, chslk, stone, including msirble, bricks, slates and tiles. 8. Chlnaware and glass. . Paper and paper making materials. "10. Soap, paint and colors, including articles ex clusively used in their preparation aad varnish. ', "1L Bleaching powder, soda, ashes, caustic soda, salt cake, ammonia, and sulphate ot copper. "It. Precious and semi-precious stones, pearls, mother of peart and coral. "IX. Clocks and watches. " '14. Fashions and fancy good a "15. Feathers of all kinds, hairs and bristles. 17. Articles of household furniture ana decora tion; office furniture and requisites." Of course, all noncontraband articles may be seised by a belligerent If thay are conveyed In a ship flying an enemy's flag or If more than half of the remainder of the cargo Is contra hand. One article enacted by the London naval confer ence, -which will operate to the advantage' of the United 6tatea in case of a European war. aocordlng to authorities on International law. Is the defini tion of "condltkonal contraband' Under the declara tion, foodstuffs and commodities, which are not war materials la themselves, can only be declared con traband when they are destined for the territory of a nation at war. For Instance, If this country received orders from Germany for wheat or flour, it could make the ship ment to Amsterdam, which would probably be neutral, and it could be forwarded thence to Germany. Under the old rule a nation at war with Germany could seise the cargo en the ground that Germany was Its ultimate destination. . People and Events .
