Econoraj, or GranisUnd rtayf
We are just now being regaled with much
of laudation of Governor Morehead, his numer
ous virtues' and excellent qualifications being
extensively extolled, preparatory, an observer
might conclude, to some further .flight by his
excellency across the political fields of Nebraska.
However, the real of the governor's advocates
now and again seem to outrun the limit of pru
dence, and place hlra In a position against which
some legitimate criticism may be directed.
For example, we are Just now informed that
during his term of office. Governor Morehead
has made no charge against tbe state for the
expenses incident to maintenance of the executive
mansion In Lincoln, nor for money expended on
account of journeys the executive of the state
may from time to time be required to take in
connection with his official functions. This
would be well enough,-but coupled with it Is a
showing of tbe moneys expended on these Items
by his predecessors in office, going back to Gov
ernor Savage, and coming down through Messrs.
Mickey, Sheldon, Sballenberger and Aldrlch'thus
Insinuating that Mr. Morehead has been very
considerate when It came to saving the state
money.
The question comes up here, is this economy
or merely a grandstand play on tbe part of the
govern or T The state of Nebraska ia well able
and quite willing to pay Its officials, and .cer
tainly does not require that its executive serve
at a loss to himself. Appropriations for defay
Ing the legitimate 'expenses of the governor
have always btfen made In good faith, and demo
crats and republicans alike have availed them
selves of the provision. The salary of the gov
einor la not sufficient to pay the expenses he Is
legitimately required to assume; an effort to in
crease this pay wbs defeated by the voters last ,
fall, but not with any intention that the governor
should be compelled to pay out more than the
state allows him, If such a policy were adopted.
It would effectually preclude a poor man from
aspiring to the office.
Governor Morehead has a perfect right to de
cline an expense account allowance from the
state, and to defray from his own means the en
tire cost of maintaining himself in office, but
he should not criticize, even by Innuendo, bis
predecessors In office because they did not antici
pate his democratic devotion to "economy."
Foreign Trade of United States.,
Externally the commerce of the United States
has suffered quite severely, as a result of the
war, but it is far from being dead, as is shown
by the bulletin of the Department of Commerce.
The Imports at thirteen principal ports for the
week ending January 30, amounted to more than
$27,000,000, while the exports sent out from the
same ports totalled above, $63,000,000. These
thirteen ports handle about 80 per cent of the
foreign commerce of the United States, so that
tbe whole showing for the week In question will
be well 'above $100,000.000, a volume of ex
ternal trade that ia quite satisfactory.)
Trading between the United Slates and Euro
pean ports la still very brisk, despite the inter
ruptions incident to the war. The nature of the
articles imported has been much changed, and
not a few things that were formerly purchased
abroad lr large quantities arej now being made
at home. .Many articles of manufacture which
formerly figured but lightly In the export trade
are now being sent abroad In large quantities.
These facts directly and favorably affect the industrial-
situation In the United States. -
Large shipments are being steadily made to
the countries at war, and with the adjustment
cf certain questions la connection with the con
trol of the fteaways, a atill further activity in the
export trade may be, looked for. The United
States Is the great source ot supply for the world.
Let the Birds Alone.
The 'Nebraska senate has Junt performed a
real service for the farmers of tbe state by put
ting a quietus on a bill that had for its purpose
the extermination of the crows. It seems a little
bit remarkable that at this time any farmer
should be found shortsighted enough to give
his countenance to a movement having for its
aim the interference in any way with the birda
who make their summer homes )a this state,
Nebraska is blessed with a wonderful variety
ot birds, and tbe farmer should understand that
these are his best friends. The slight cost of
crop damage that may result from the presence
of the birds, no matter of what variety, Is more
than repaid by their activity In destroying Insect
pests whose unchecked ravages, would soon de
nude the state of all growing things. The crows.
In particular, are the foea of the rodents, whose
depredations would soon amount to damage far
greater than could possibly be wrought by the
birds themselves. The slight-toll that is taken
from the fields and orchards ot the state Is but
little recompense for the service actually per
formed by the birds. By all means let them
alone. !
Where One Keform Pinches.
Surgery cannot be practiced without giving
some pain to the patient. No reform of an ad
mitted burden can be inaugurated without af
fecting the pecuniary Interests of somebody. It
Is nut surirlaiug that the bonded abstractors of
the state regard the present system of property
transfers as the best ever. It surely Is the most
profitable system for the abstractors. No per
son can acquire title to a niece of real property
without giving the abstractprs and the title ex
aminers their bit, and the same property cannot
bejmortgaged for a loan without a like contribu
tion. The system is costly, clumoy and ineffi
cient,, and is especially burdensome to the small
property owner.
1'ncle Ham's treasury balance continues
ehrlnking like a family purse in a meat market.
It is around the $30,000,000 notch now, com
pared with $68,000,000 on the firut of the
yeur, a shrinkage of $3,000,000 a wek. DeHpite
the growing peril of the deficit the congresblona
pork bar'l bill has been fattened by the senate
to a total of $4 2,000,000. Democratic economy

The Political Caldron.
INTBREST In the registration for the forthcoming
city commission primary on April and election
on May 4 Is healnnlnf to manifest Iteejf In the elec
tion commiSRlnner's olflce In the county court house.
There la no particular rush of voters, but the dally
registrations and revisions show an Incre'sse. During
the recent wejeks, when the city was employing larpe
B-anes of men to shovel snow from the streets, there
were about 300 pew regtat rations to meet the require
ments of the city street department.
Deputy Hection Commissioner Henry Oatrom says
there are yet quite a few voters who do not under
stand that one reglatration suffices for all time, as
long as they do not Chancre their residences. This
clans thinks It must register for eaeh election, having
forgotten the provisions of the new election law. Jn
cases of change of residence It Is only necessary to
call at the election commissioner's office and have
the change recorded.
For the Information ot prospective voters who
may or may not have taken out their first naturalisa
tion papers. It is stated thst they may register for
the May election on or before March , the law re
quiring that they cannot vote on their tirst papers
within thirty days after their declaration of Inten
tion. Thirty days after March would brine the time
up to the commission primary election. They, of
course, must have lived in the state six months to be
eligible under the. provision referred to.
The books of tha election commissioner will be
open for new registrations or revisions ,up to ten days
before the primary for the primary election, and the
rame condition will apply to the election in May.
The experience of the election boards shows that
some voters forget to have new addressee recorded
at the election commissioner's office, and there are
others who do not know that such action Is even
naceassry, unkas they want to go to the trouble on
election day of bringing two freeholders of their ward
to vouch for them.
The election commissioner's office is openevery day
for registrations, and Deputy Oatrom says It saves a
lot ot trouble and confusion on election day if voters
will just think to register and' have thetr changes of
residences recorded. . '
The new election system Is becoming ' more under
stood by the voters'. . The records now show X4,t00
registered voters In Omaha. The clerks get the death
records from the city hahV and mark 'off those who
die, and the Inspectors who canvass their respective
districts report back yoters who have moved perma
nently out of the olty.
- There Is a class who never register. Tha other day
a young man called foi a petition blank for the com
mlaiaon primary. He wants to be a olty commissioner.
It was discovered that he had not been registered
since before' the last presidential election. Some do
not "register because they want to escape Jury duty,
and others say It Is too much trouble. '
The sunshine had the effect of bringing out a new
batch ot city commission aspirants. Fresh timber Is
being heard from every day. It is said that the full
moon has something to do with the mental condition
of those who may be. susceptible to the wiles of thv
political siren. There will be no full moon this month,
but In March the moon will be full on two occasions,
thus giving quite an Impetus to political activity. It
Is declared by those who claim to know about lunar
Influence . ; '
J. R, Musgrave, one of the deputy sheriffs,' is out-,
with a city commission primary petition and expects
to make the race. Charles Bruner, pioneer. Is being
mentioned with more or less frequency. . He expects
the support df the pioneers. Ed Leeder, Identified with
the double shift tor city firemen, and Known as a
Justice of the. peace, is another name being discussed.
Owen Slaven has confided to friends that he has his
eye on a city eommlsslonerahip. ' He has lived here
many years, and in tbe early days was in the grocery
business. Ho and Colonel Charles Fanning years ana
years ago had the contract for cleaning , the city
streets at so much per mile. ,p i -. 1

Attorney John T. Dillon says he enjoys making a
survey of the field of candidates In. any political cam
paign, particularly a city oampaign. He believes a
city campaign is closer to ) the' citizens of a com
munity. He looks upon this matter in the light of the
public employing certain men to work tvr them.
He contends that voters should know the tnon who
are applying for puhllo office. ' He thinks the avail
ability ot these men for the various places, elective
and appointive, should be a matter of serious con
cern. 1 . i
This citisen baa started to get a line on the men
already mentioned tor the city commission primary.
Ho knows most of them and Is ' familiar with thflr
records. He says there are many capable men la the
list, but the chief objection he finds Is that nearly all
of them want to be mayor. There Is a plethora ot
mayoralty aspirants, he finds, lie believes It Import
ant the .city should have a mayor, a competent
chief executive, but his point la that It Is Just as
Important that the city shall have a competent man
for the public Improvements department, for Instance.
He would like to see more men who are. up on puh
llo Improvement matters come forward and announc
their candidacy, and the same with the other branches
of the municipal service. He does not want to be
understood as Boding any particular fault with the
present incumbents, but he holds that the people owe
it to themselves to select the very best material and
to be "up on their toes" from now to eVctton day
on "May 4. .. V .
Mr. Dillon maintains that efficiency Is becoming

SOCTH OMAHA. Feb. .-To the Editor
of The Bee: The question of consolidating
the smaller cities surrounding Omaha with
that city is one that should receive the
support of all the broad-minded cltlsens
cf our state. Nebraska Is one of the lesd
ing western states and should have one
or two large cities Within Its borders
commensurate with Its splendid poselhlll
tlea and the legislature should see' that
the selfish Interests of s few politicians
be not permitted to block tho onward
march of the largest city of our state.
, Minnesota's pride Is St Paul snd Minne
apolis; Wisconsin boasts of Its Milwaukee,
and Missouri of Its St., Louis and Kansas
City, and they are ail splendid cities, and
every one of them In their great growth
absorbed various cities, , towns and vil
lages that stood In the way of their ex
pansion. In there any reason why Nebraska,
with the contiguous support of western
Iowa, should not make Omaha as large
as Kansas City, thereby Inviting men who
Invest only in. largo eities to open' up
large factories and other industries within
our -state, giving employment to thou
sands of men within our borders who now
go elsewhere? This cannot be done un
less the city of Omaha ier permitted by
the legislature to expand and take in 'the
several small cities and towns surround
ing It, and which thrive In a small way
by reason of Its greatness, and as a tax-,
payer of South Omaha for fifteen years
I know that the mass of the solid citi
sens therein favor consolidation.
I have too much faith In the Integrity
of our legislature to think that the pres
ence of city officials drawing in msny
cases over $5 per day from the laboring
taxpayers of our city, spending days In
Lincoln as supplicants to be retained in
of flcer and in no manner representing th
sentiment of the actual taxpayers of our
city, will In any manner be Influenced
thereby.- Onward march, should be the
slogan of every Nebraska, and every
member of the legislature. Let us all be
proud or 'Omaha and Lincoln and help
them to be the Minneapolis and Bt. Paul
of Nebraska. V '. VERITAS.
, Laattant a4 the Ftaa-
OMBAUA, Neb.. Feb. U. To the Edi
tor of. The Bee: Referring to your re
cent editorial on4he Lusltania Incident,
I wish to ask If your presentation of the
same la not misleading, especially where
you compare It with the case of the "Em
den," a German cruiser", which distin
guished Itself by the construction of a
dummy fourth funnel In order to depelve
a French and a Russian man-of-war, de
stroying both. Their claim that the Em.
den also flew the Japanese flag has been
denied and has never been proven. Tho
two Incidents present no parallel what
ever. French, Russians ' and Japanese
ware enemies at war with Germany. The
Lusltania Is ah English merchant vessel
hiding behind the flag of, a neutral and
friendly nation. . In no instance during
the war did German ships fly the flag ot
a neutral nation, which disposes of the
claim of "a case In precedence."
It Is also erroneous to say that it Is
practically Impossible for submarines to
stop a fast steamer, snd that It is an
easy matter for such a pteamer to escape
a submarine. In yotir own columns, you
reported but shortly that the German
submarine U-Sl within two days stopped
five .English steamers and destroyed them
after making their crews take to the life
boats. I beljeve this disproves also the
statement made In your editorial that
tbe declared German blockade of Eng
lish waters Is only a "paper" blockade. ,
Ia view ot these facta I must also
take issue with, your conclusion that the
Lusltania Incident Is of no consequence.
You will remember that at the beginning
of the war the English press, voiced
furious protests against German mine
laying trawlers, claiming they had sailed
under neutral flags (which has never been
proven), and denounced the alleged act
as a shameful violation of International
law, " At that time, as a ruse of the
Germans, It was descried as a wicked
wrong, but when the English Luaitania
flies the stars and stripes, "the practice
U as old as civilised warfare and la com
monly resorted to." Can it be . that
anything England does Is well done?
The abuse of the United Btates flag
is distinctly an unneutral act and only
an ally of England could pass 1t over
without vigorous protest. Hiding be
hind the United States flag Is bad faith
and a confession of weakness on Eng
land's part. DR. 1IKRM GERHARD.

1 am working at a desk, which, although
ot picturesque.
Is filling both - my stomach and my
purre;
I've a little stored awsv and will soon
hsve more (or may).
And the roster of my friendships might
he worse;
1th a lasr as a rat and I'm growing
prettv fst.
And "comfort" is no more sn empty
word,
Hut there they go again,
Ruele note and roll of drum.
, And the swing of marching mem
l.ord of war, I come, I come
1 have heard!
Well. I've done' it! I'm a fool, all this
glory talk Is drool.
I'm a triple-plated human donkey net:
I've been wallowlna: In stench In a thing
thev call a trench
Since Mondav week without a cigarette.
Ssy, If ever I get out I shall do the right
about. " '
