Villa's voluntary promise peacably to ac cept the provisional president rhosen by the rational convention at Aguas Callentes, pro vided it la not Carranza, ought to furnish the basis for hope of real peace In Mexico. While, of course, there may be some doubt, aa sug gested by recent events, of Villa'a ability to command his. entire following, tbe chance fa vor peace and order If Villa sticks to this prom ise, other conditions being met. Tn a word, with Carransa out of the way for the presidency, Villa'a capitulation would seem to remove the gravest single obstacle In front of the goal. No longer may It be doubted that, bandit though he has been, this same Villa had a con slderable following In northern Mexico. That being admitted, It would aeem foolhardy if this convention Invited a continuation of disorder end revolution by naming Carransa aa Its choice for provisional president. On the other hand. "Carran ia" surely would lose prestige by attempt- log, even If he desired, to lead a new revolt. While many "ifs" still obtrude themselves, Mex ico's restoration at this time really seems prob able, at least easily possible. If the Villas and Carraniaa will only exercise patience and com mon sense for Just a little while, Mexico may be squarely on Its feet again. Nullifying the Nonpartisan Jndioiary Law. Our most distinguished and learned jurist sitting on the district bench, Judge Willis Q. Sears, has rendered a decision, presumably with out realizing Its effect, nullifying the new non partisan judiciary law. He holds that for a candidate to have his name go on the official ballot for an election it ia not necessary to com ply with the requirement for nomination ' by petition signed by the prescribed number of voters, but. that he may circumvent the law by having his friends write his namo in on the primary election ballot. This ruling Is bolstered ty the assertion that the preliminary voting is merely a method of nomination substituted for old convention nominations without closing the entries. The erudite Judge does not seem to perceive that the theory of the nonpartisan Judiciary law makes the petition the machinery of nomination, and the primary-day vote an elimination elec tlou, with the olectlon-day vote for final choice between thoae not eliminated. He doea not grasp the fact that conventions and primaries appertain solely to political parties making up their party tickets, while our nonpartisan Judi ciary ballot la voted by men of all parties or of no party,. and has nothing to do with nomina tions.' It goes without saying that If the pro ceedings previous to the final election related merely to nominations, then the ballot would still be open after the primary to petition can didates for Judgeships, and for aa many as want to go to the trouble of procuring and filing of petitions, for when our, constitution aaya that all elections must be free, it means that they mast be free to candidate as well as to voters. The only way the nonpartisan judiciary scheme can be successfully upheld ia to make tbe freedom of candidates Telate to the primary day voting, otherwise the whole reform will go by the board . . A Protest that May Count. the possible projection of the railroad ques tion as an Issue' In the. next presidential cam paign may have a vital bearing upon tbe request of railrokda to raise ratea, now being heard by the Interstate Commerce commission. This Im plicates nestles In a resolution addressed to the commission by the National Council of Farmers' Co-operative association, representing 850,000 western farmera owning1 100 elevators. These farmers, joined by the Corn Belt Meat Produc ers' association and other big shipping interests, hat sent their lawyers to Washington with protests from twelve middle west and Inter mountain states. This lnter-pleadlng is expected to take the railroads greatly by surprise, as, supposedly, they counted On no serious opposition to their proposed Increases. The Protestants, It aeema, baae their intention of making a political Issue c the fight- should It go against them on the fact that after tha commission had rejected the railroad a' former plea for higher ratea, Presl- -dant-Wtlson,. after .conferring with certain rail- toad magnate, Issued an open letter substan tially recommending a rehearing, which was "al most Immediately granted.' ir the railroads resort to political pressure to gala their desires, tb producer and ship per will b Justified In using the asm fore. Scouting-for ProTuioaa. . .. .. According to tb Wall Street Journal, the British government, through a commissioner resident la Canada, la eeJpurlng the United States for edutpnietrt, provisions and munitions. It auotea an agent a saying: "If you'll show me where, I'll buy ten carloads of canned pea or beans, tea carloads of canned meats, 100,000 saddles, 100,000,000 rounds of cartridges, 1.000,000 rifles, 1,000,000 yard of tent cloth and Juat as many eweaters aa anybody will offer. Tea, and I'll pay cash. You can deliver the good anywhere you want f. o. b. Ill see thai they get to the Dominion." This agent, going her and there without knowing the best source of aupply, waa natur ally meeting with poor success, but, according to the report, he managed to buy up the entire output of one small factory In New England. All of which Indicates very clearly, sot only the increasing draft to be made upon us for food, but the grave statu of unprepared noes in which tb war caught England. But. If the situation la so serious at this early stage, what will It be later? ' England face, not only the terrible task of provisioning its own force at bom U afield, but mast share the burden with France and Holland of caring for hundred of thousands, If not millions, of refugee Belgians. And all of the warring nations are sure to be similarly affected by this horrible upheaval. A string worker, with hcadquartera' la the World-Herald office, make a Chicago news paper say, In a dispatch dated Omaha, that our new hotel building alone la costing 11,250.000 In addition to cost of ground and furnishings. Now, we are ready to boast about our new hotel with the loudest, but why fake It when every one knows the. building contract price ia under II00.000T That bind of exaggeration doea not help Omaha, ... Uplift in American Trade trial. Pweeeaefally Met. Philadelphia PuWIo Teder. Not slm-e the civil war wss the United Rtates calll up to meet such a financial crisis as rams with tho outbreak of hotlllt'a In Europe. Foreign export were suddenly cut off. Imports neeeieary to many of our own manufacturing Industries were wholly suspended. All American stock exchanges had to be closed, and so a blight wss put upon all our markets where securities may be bought and sold. On top of this cams Flu rope's clamor to be paid In gold for the sororities It had sold In the fortnight be fore the war began. With all Europe suspending payment of Its own debts and demanding gold Instead of merchandise from the United Ststs. a financial strain wss put Upon this country the Mke of which had not been seen In fifty years. But In two short months the America people here met this crials successfully. Our bankers have satis fied Nsw Tork City's maturing debt of about ),000,0 held abroad. A syndicate of bankers has also raised another tlOn.OOO.OOO of gold to pay off Europe's Immediate claims against this country. Money la now pouring bark into the large eastern cities. Big deficits in bank reserves have been wiped out. Interest rates are normal for this season of the year and even less than In some previous years when crops ware moving to market. Never waa the resJIIiency of our country shown In so remarkable a way. Without panic and without any alarming money stringency, ths United States has emerged from a most trying financial situation, with tha full knowledge that It baa met every debt at home and abroad. What has happened In the financial world Is but an omen of what must occur la our trade and com merce. The same vigor and buoyancy, ths Identical spirit of quick recovery which has mads ths United states the only great power that has gone ahead paying gold during tbe world's worst war, must soon set thousands of Idle wheels In motion and bring work to tens of thousands of Idle hands. Ths salient fact about this country ever has been that It cannot be kept down. Hopefall Sign for Bwslaeas. Boston Transcript. Foremost among ths signs of a return of normality in business conditions la ths Increasing demand for bonds. Recent action on the part or the stock ex changes, modifying previous prohibition, and formu lating new rulings, has materially assisted the bond houses and stimulated Investment demand. The Im provement In ths latter respect during the last fort night has been so pronounced as to indicate, beyond perad venture, a definite turning of the balance. This Is a very natural sequence of ths situation created by the closing of ths stock markets to open and actlvo trading. Investors, finding this avenue of Investment closed, have turned confidently to the bond market for opportunities of employing th4r surplus fundi. It was a movement, however, slow i In gaining head way, because many Investors believed they saw the prospect of a speedy termination of hostilities and a resumption of ordinary commercial and financial ac tivities. They preferred, therefore, to retain their funds in a liquid state awaiting this tlms. This was true of both foreign and domestic investors. , Conditions have changed now; and those with avail able funds are finding among Ajnerican bonded se curities the safest and most remunerative investmenta Investors are loath to allow their funds to remain long In Idleness; they demand their employment. But the European conflict checked the utilisation of a vast amount of capital in commercial enterprises In the countries involved; a state of suspended anima tion ensued. Capital then turned to America, remote from war Influences, recognising, finally,1 that ths aftermath of ths war weald retard ths rejuvenation of the old world's comma roe. A result of this turning of ths foreign Investor to American Issues Is the al leviation of the fear of a general overthrow of these securities, and a growing appreciation of the value, of our own Investments. Cfceerfal Pacta. 8t Louis Republic. While this country Is suffering from the effects of businsss depression Intensified by war it Is neverthe less taking a fairly cheerful view of the situation be cause of the many' en&ouragtng facts which appear from day to day. -' . - The manner la which New Tork took care of ;ta European Indebtedness, the ease with which the gold pool was formed, the fact that the Intense strain under which the finances of the country . labored la August and September produced no sign of panic are all clroumstances which stimulate confidence In ths ability of the country to take care of Itself and com through Its troubles triumphantly. A further encouraging factor Is found In the crop report, while the destructive work of war abroad I already reflected In large orders from Europs for supplies. It is slso seen that. In spits of the demor alisation which overtook foreign trade, exports are now going forward at a rapid rate In some lines of trade. Addsd to these heartening facts thsre come the news that the shrinkage ' in bank reserves has stopped and ths tide Is turning 'the other way. In New Tork reserves are but little below , the normal, and at the present rate of gain will" soon 'be aa high as usual at this time of year. This must result In easier money, and before leng In ths retirement ef emer gency currency. Before many weeks the new banking law will be in operation , and ths country la much better position to weather any financial storm. Made ia tae Catted Btates. Entirely local In origin though It Is, a suggestion made only a day or two ago In New Tork could be put Into execution wth advantage la other clt'es throughout the country. It was suggested that a day be est aside for the exhibit In stores and shops of "good made la the Unite States. " ' The author of ths idea proposed that the. various associations of merchants and manufacturers corn bins to find ways and meaaa for snowing "svery conceivable article made In this country of a. kind similar tq those Im ported and which have a large or small consumption hers." He reoeraraendsd, furthsr, that "at this dis play It could be. arranged to show ths foreign' and do. mestlo articles side by side' in order to'ilv the' ob server an opportunity to Judge for himself the merits of the article.',' , Prom nothing at tha present time,. It seems to us, could ths Amcrioaa-mads product benefit more. ' Such an exhibit woujd be valuable alike to manufacturer, and merchant and to. eontutasr even la time of peace. But war, paralysing many of tbe. foreign Industries, has so circumscribed the European field' of manufac ture that dependence upon the American-product is bound to follow as a matter ef course.: fjtUI, It should not be a dependence, born alone of neoesstty. It should be backed by faith In both material and workmanship and by confidence In value. And nothing win contrib ute more toward establishing this . confidence than such a comparative exhibit aa has been outlined. Thi consumer would have opportunity to see and Juda for himself. Ths educative value would be almost be yond estimate.

BANCROFT, Neb., Oct. 17.-To the Edi tor of The Bo: I have read many of the letters In The Bee. anj a lot na, been written about the side of the allies Many of the British blame Germany for the present war, but In 1906 the allies signed papers saying that Germany must be crushed. But the world sees now that Germany has gained, and that there la not an enemy in the Fatherland. On one side they are only sixteen miles from Warsaw, and on the other only forty miles from Paris. Even London has begun to snake, and Its Board of Trade Is looking dull. The whole German na tion is as on behind tbe kaiser, and If Germany were to select a president. Wil liam II would be the first president. My father i now serving in the German army.

W, LILT, University Consolidation, SUTTON. Neb.. Oct 17.-To the Editor of The Bee: Election day is less than three weeks away. The war and the various personal and party campaigns largely! are occupying your thoughts. All of the questions of public policy to be de cided at the coming election are tmpor taat. One of these questions requiring your most earnast attention Is that of university locatlqn. The progress of the university has been retarded of. recent years by reason of cramped quarters. , The voters must decide how this addl tional room will be secured and they must . decide now. .... The active advertising campaign of a. group of speculators has only served to becloud the Issue. Consider the slogan, "Move and waste $3,000,000 or stay and save 12.700,000." If there Is a Particle of truth In the above etatement would any sane parson hint at removal T Certainly not. AIi of aa would be in 'the anti removal band wagon. However, the'ques tlon ef removal Is a fair one and there fore there are two sides to it. Let us consider them briefly. The chief question Is: What location will best, serve the Interests of the people of Nebraska at the least expense in the long runT The answer "concentration on the farm campus" is made by the com mission of university presidents (Ohio, Wisconsin. Minnesota and Michigan Agri cultural cuua- Theae men were In vited to Investigate the matter at tbe tnatance of the Farmers' congress of Ne braska and their expenses (they were not paid for the work) were borne by the body la lttll. This was also the position of the legis lature, the Board of Regents, chaucsllor. the dean of the .various colleges and many ethers. 1 If the men familiar through expsrtsnue with the practical administration of state universities favor removal as ths most economical solution 6t ths dilemma, why are some voters honestly opposed to re moval T It Is because they do not know where the university farm Is. Ask any of them the proposed location of tbe uni versity and they wiU tell you In shocked tones. "Why, It Is two and one-half miles from the center of business In Lincoln." They do not know that Lincoln ia built up to the proposed sits on two sides and the aillags of University Place -adjoins the farm campus on the east Obviously the university Is not going out Into the country. W ith the business district but twenty minutes away by street car, stu dents who have business tn the city wiU find ample means of reaching It- Nor la car fare a necessary expense in the. majority of cases. Msny a country child walks m0ss to school when he is ' tn tier sad less tn need of physical exercise than Is the average university student. Another favorite antl-remevai question la, "What saa you do for the student working hi wsy through school T Stu dent boerdlng and rooming houses will require Just as msny waiter and furnace tender a they do now. Those working In office and the Ilk will have farther to go, but this Is not sn Insuperable ob stacle. For Instance, In Seattle the Unl verdty of Washington Is seven miles from Pioneer squsre and five miles from the edge of the business district. Tst In one frslemlty of some twenty-five mn stu dents all but four were earning all or part of their way through school. Supposing the downtown campus wins. Are there any precedent In the matter of dual unl vers! ties T Plenty of them. We need go no farther than Iowa to see the effects. Tliore the Industrial and agri cultural colleges ar at Amee, the others at Iowa City. . . The registration In both Institutions Is above 2,000. In the matter of appropristlnns Ames Is liberally dealt with. They get a quarter of a million for a single building. And Iowa stats uni versity? It Is dealt with as niggardly as some other state universities. Friend of ths university, beware? History will re peat Itself. Iowa with Its mines and man ufactories Is less fundamentally depend ent on agricultural progress than Is Ne braska. Farming Interests are less pow erful in ths Iowa legislature than they sr here. Tet Ame I ft and Iowa City lean. Of late years our state agricultural campus is receiving more generous treat ment from our legislature than is the "downtown" campus in proportion to stu dents. Does not that show the drift of public thought? Let the voters consider the fact and make up their minds. The farmers' con gress is on record for removal. The Lin coln labor council Is on record for re moval: The university presidents recom mended removal as providing room for development for more than the next twenty or twenty-five year. Brain and brawn are united for removal, but every one must vote if the question of univer sity location is to be settled now. and for all time. F. G. WOLFE. SAID nr.
