A Esy of Hope in Mexico.
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

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.

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.

OMAHA, Oct. 20.-TO the Editor of The

reports published In certain papers stat
ing to be the official proceedings of The
Central Labor union of October 18 would
Infer that Commissioner Lynch was seek
ing an Indorsement as county commis
sioner from the central body at that
meeting, which was not true. The com
munication read there emanated from the
stationary firemen over a fireman who
had been hired it fhe county court house.
The only action taken upon the com
munication was to read same and or
dered it placed on file.
Painters' union No. W of Omaha de
sires at this time to make this statement:
They have not a a body Indorsed any
candidate, but have at all times, and do
now, stand for fair treatment, and can
truthfully say that at no time during the
period County Commissioner Lynch has
been In office, when the painters' union
had a grievance pertaining to county
work affecting their trade and brought to
his attention that wss not speedily ad
justed to the satisfaction of the painters'
union Insofar as it was In their power to
do so. " So for the above reason the paint

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. H fought in 179, then only i
years old, and ia now 63, and says that
only halt of the army is out, and that
the war Is Just started. The Germans
are fighting for liberty which the Brit

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.

But never the sky, and never the sea.
Starry with lights, or abrlm with stars
Never the mornlnn speaks to me. ,
Never the sunset's crimson bars. ,
O, hear the whispering winds thst oome.
