Omaha and the State.
Tbst a better understanding of tbe relation
between tbe state and its principal city has come
about is emphasized by the brief viMt of the l?g
iBlators to Omaha. The informal dinner waa
marked by a spirit that fairly typifies the seu
timent that has developed in Nebraska during
recent year, and which means tbat a tommanity
of citizenship bss flnslly bwn established. All
are citizens of one commonwealth, with similar
Interests and similar aspirations, and all share
alike In the prosperity tbat must come with com
mon effort. Co-operation Is esoentlal, for one por
tion of the state cannot thrive at tbe expense of
another. For tbat matter, sectlonsl feeling Is fast
disappearing In Nebraska, and the greatness of
the state is becoming the pride of all, There is
room for all, and prosperity for all, when
common effort la made for mutual good by all
Xebraskans.
Another Flare-Back in the Navy.
Rear Admiral Bradley A- Flske baa resigned
as aide to the secretary of the navy, apparently
because he Is not in full accord with Mr. DanieU
policy. Tbe points of difference are not made
public, although much speculative gossip hat
been engendered by this latest flare-bach.
Rumor has It that matters connected with the
service administration of the department are at
the bottom, and Admiral Flske is credited with
having said he did not wish to be in any way
chargeable with the country's unpreparednesa
for war. If this is true, it would seem that the
admiral might have chosen more appropriate
means for expressing his disapprobation of the
plans be objected to, and could have been of
more service to his country by sticking where be
was than by resigning a billet of so great Importance.
Secretary Daniels' experience with the navy
illustrates the difficulty of preaching peace to
men whose business it is to be ready to flgbt at
any minute. But something broader and deeper
than this is involved in the present Incident The
obligation of tbe military and naval service of
tbe United States requires loyalty from officer
of all grades to the president and bis secretaries,
and even in protest an officer of high rank
should not overlook this.
The present situation emphasizes more than
ever tbe need of a general staff, or war board,
for the navy, similar to that provided for the
army several years ago, and which has been
partly provided for by recent legislation. This
will permit the purely technical business of the
navy, with Its planning of strategy and the like.
to be handled by naval officers, and will do
away with any possible Irritation that may spring
from civilian Interference.
Democratic Responsibility.
The 1915 Nebraska legislature Is controlled
by decisive democratic majorities in both bouses,
M A ' a. . a
ana. me executive power lisewise is in aemo-
cratio bands. . Tbe democrat will have to stand
responsibility for all legislative acts, especially
those of a political character, even though mem
bers of the republican minority furnish some of
the vote to put bills across. . Not It down,
tberfore, that the record of the legislature will
be the record on which the democratic party
will have to stand before the people of the state
when they go out again seeking the vote of con
fidence to retain them in control. Let this be
understood now while tbe legislative record Is
till 'unfinished bo that no excuse may be of
fered later for vicious measures enacted, for
broken promises or for failed good Intentions,
on the false plea that the democratic majority
is not responsible.

Church and Business Organisation.
A published report, the first In history, of
tbe fiscal operations of the Mormon church of
Utah calls r attention to tbe. wisdom shown by
its founders in planning Its business organiza
tion. When the Mormon church was first or
ganized, community of property waa one of .Its
tenets, and this made comparatively easy the
adoption of a system that has brought with It
prosperity and stability of finances, If nothing
else. Other church organisations In America
are supported by the voluntary contribution of
tbe membership; the Mormons collect tithes.
Each member of the church gives over a fixed
part of bl product, no matter what it is, to
the support of the church, which not only pro
vides for Its maintenance, but fpr Its extension,
-and has also permitted the accumulation of a
surplus of such extent that of late years the
amount of the tithe has been lessened and much
of the expense of the church has been defrayed
from the income on Investments.
Immense wealth has been acquired by tbe
church In Utah, not by reason of any oppres
sive measures, but by the steady and regulated
contribution of each member. This is the nat
ural result of the concerted action of tbe many
One of the most notable activities of the church
has been the Zion Co-operative Mercantile In

example of the possibilities of co-operation in
merchandising and haa been one of the great
factors In the success of Mormoclsra.

Italy's Price for Neutrality
"Oeorre B. McClsIlaa la Kew York Ilmea. "
If the rumors which we have heard lately from
Rome are to ba believed, the territory demanded by
Italy of Austria, aa the price of her neutrality, tn
cludca tha whole of aoutbern Tyrol south of
the Pubertal, Oora and Gradlaca, Trleate and all of
iRtria. with about a doaen of tha larcest Islands lying
off tbe Crotian and DeJmatlan coeat thrown In for
Rood measure.
Whether os not this Is the real attitude of tbe
Italian government, it undoubtedly repreaents the de
etrea of a considerable part of tbe Italian people who
have lately revived tha Irredentlat morement, which
was eo prominent during the laat quarter of the nine
teenth century.
In 378 the young- kingdom of Italy, greatly enjoying
the acnuationa of Its' newly realised nationality, con
fidently expected to share In tha distribution of the
Turkish loot at tha Congraaa or Berlin. Nat only was
that hop disappointed, but Italy had the mortifica
tion of eeelng Ita hereditary enemy, AuetrlaHunrary,
awarded the administration of Boanla-Heraegovlna.
Aa the result of this dleappotntment, and largely
because of hatred of Austria, the movement for a
greater Italy, which had until then made but little
progreaa, acquired great vigor. The go pel of Italy
Irredenta, or Italy unredeemed, waa preached all over
tha kingdom, and Its apoatlea Instated that Ttallan na
tionality was not and could not ba complete until all
Italians had been gathered under the house of Savoy.
The usual argument advanced In support of Italian
claims to theaa territories are: That they are In
habited almost entirely by Italians who desire to bo
Included In the kingdom of Italy; that they are shock
ingly oppreaaed and misgoverned, and that until re
cently they have belonged to en or other of the
Italian state. In short. It Is urged that their acquisi
tion by modem Italy would ba nothing but tha right
ing of a great wrong, the restoration to Italy of
peoplea who have been stolen from it These argu
ments have been constantly ueed that they have been
very generally accepted, although, as a matter of
fact they are far from being accurate.
The Irredentlat claims upon the Trentino run from
the Italian frontier to Pransensfeate, a distance of
ninety-alx mllea. Thla territory la Inhabited by aa
Italian speeJtlng population for a dlaunoa of thirty
five mllea from the border, and for Uie remaining
fifty-one mllea by German-speaking Teutone. The
city of Trent, being in the aouUi. about two-thirds of
tha !, Inhabitants of the Trentino speak Italian,
as aralnat one-third speaking German.
Tha Auatrlan crown land of Gors and Gradlsca
Ilea between Italian Frlull and Trleate. Of Ita In
habitant two-thirds are ItaJleui-epeaklng Italians; the
rest are German-speaking Slave, while of the 135,000
tnhabitanta of Trieste three-fourths speak Italian, the
rest German. Of the 860,000 Inhabitants of Istrta about
three-fourths are Slavs, the rest Italians, while of
the inhabitants of CrlUa and Dalmatla, Including the
Islands, only about a per cent are Italians.
In the charge of oppression and mlsgoverrunent
the wiuh has been largely the father of the thought,
for tha local governments of Austria certainly do not
compare unfavorably with those of Italy, while Indus
trial prosperity under normal conditions U higher.
The chief grievance of Italian Austrian Is the lack
ef aa Italian university oa Austrian soli, and Austria
has done little or nothing to meet it It is generally
supposed that all tbo Austrian provinces tn which
Italian la the language of the majority of the inhab
Itance once, and in modern times, belonged to Italian
states, yet such Is not the ease.
Of the Trentino the extreme southern end to a lino,
somewhat north of Lago dt Garda belonged to the
Venetian republic untU Its fall. It Is true that the
rest of Trentino was Incorporated Into Charlemagne's
kingdom of Italy In 714, but as early as 1037 the em
peror, Conrad II, gave all the temporal rights In the
region to the bishop of Trent and transferred it to
Germany, to one power or other of which It haa since
belonged except during the rule of Napoleon. The
claim that Garibaldi conquered it In 13GS la absolutely
untenable. It had only croesed the border when ha
received, the order fo retire from Cavour.
During part of the eleventh century Gors' and
Gradlaca belonged to the patriarchate of Aqulleta.
The region was then held successively by the Eppen
steln and Lumgan families, and with the exception
of its occupation by Napoleon has belonged to the
house of Hapsburg since the year 1500. .
Trieste belonged to the German count-bishop from
the fall of the Roman empire until Ita capture by
Venice In 1203. It waa off and on under Venetian con
trol until 13S3. when it passed definitely to Austria,
Iatria, a non-Itallan-speaklng provlnoe, belonged to
Venice from the twelfth century until the peace of
Campo Formlo in 137, wben It passed to Austria,
while Dalmatla, another non-Italian region, was more
or less under Venetian control during the same period.
Of the entire Austrian territory which the Irre
dentists desire, only Istrta and the Dalmatian Islands
have belonged ' to an Italian state tn comparatively
modem times, and they have belonged to Austria of lis
years, while ot the "unredeemed ' Inhabitants nearly
a half are either Germans or Slavs and do not speak
Italian.
In all human probability. If Irredentist dreams
come true, Italy will find Itself with a problem on Its
hands almost as serious as that which Germany has
had In Alsace and Lorraine, The German Inhabitants
of South . Tyrol have always been among tha most
loyal subjects ot the house of Hspabury. It is aa
Inconceivable to think ot the Oerman peaaanta of the
Trentino becoming loal Italians aa it is te think of
the Italians becoming loyal Prusalana The Slavs in
the Irredentlat lands have absolutely nothing In com
mon with Italy. Those who are disloyal to Vienna or
Budapest look to Petrograd for inspiration and cer
tainly not to Rome, in , gratifying the Irredentlat
hopes Itsly. would assume not only a language quee
tlon, but alao a race question and a national question.
The strength of modem Italy-haa been Its nsttonal
unity. Recent Italian statesmanship has ahown Itself
toe wise to Imperil Italian national development by
unnecessarily purchasing1 future trouble.

NORTH IOUP, Neb., April 8.-T0 the
lid I tor of The Bee: The people of Ne
braska and the adjoining states have
begun seeing that the expense of bridge
building Is one of the sources by which
the country Is drained of Its ready cash.
Slow many times has your banker re
marked that tho automobile has been
the caune of making the community hard
up? The bridge expense Is much worae.
The fact J? now being widely discussed
that bridge companies have cut the price
of steel bridges CO per cent. It Is a fact
universally admitted that Nebraska has
been paying twice as much for bridges
as they axe worth. The fact la, Nebraska
haa been paying four times what those
bridges are worth. Bridge companies
have been trying also to break down
certain patent rights covering bridge
construction. Those patent rights formed
a bseis of real competition against the
brldgo trust. To array public opinion
against the ' patent rights, the bridgo
trust .advanced the argument against
patent monopoly. They got a few farm
era to fight their cause for them.
Tho Etato Board of Irrigation Is the
source ot all the overcharge and weak
management In bridge construction in
thla state. Why should Nebraska psy
mors per ton for steel than a railway
company or any other firm? The present
cost ot steel from the bridge companies is
8V& cents. Or 70 per ton. The cost of
making steel Is $12. W per ton. The steel
mills sell it for $25 to IIS per ton. When
the fact Is considered that bridge con
struction Is very simple, to add 135 per
ton for that construction U out of rea
son. A dosea design for bridges will
supply plans and specifications for 90
per cent of the bridges ot the state, and
there are a half dosen firms In Nebraska
which would make those bridges In large
quantities for 10 per ton. If an efficient
department were to go at thla matter In
a bualnass l(ks way. our bridges should
be bought for 10 per cent above tha coat
of raw material. The State .Board . of
Irrigation haa. lost this stats millions of
dollars througH inefficiency. Too many.
Incompetent policy men is the snswer,

New York Times: The world eagerly

many would then find It exceedingly dif

It does not seem possible that It can now
gain any advantage which would be
worth the enormous cost In human lives
and In treasure. It could make better
terms of peace now, better terma fot It
self, than would be accorded to it at the
end of a summer's fighting. It Is Im
possible to see how It can hope to gain
anything by prolonging; the war, say,
until September.
Chicago Tribune: Tho financial centers
of America and Europe are "sensing" the
early return or peace. No definite reason
is assigned for the faith that's In them,
but the exchange operators and bankers
claim a special Instinct that tells them
months ahead ot the coming of storms
snd of their subsidence as well. The fall
ot Prsemyel. the failure of the German
submarine blockade to provide fresh
alarms and tragedies, the general feeling
that the United States will contrive to
avoid serious friction with the belliger
ents over their departure from the law
of nations and their violation of neutral
rights all these factors have contributed
to the notable developments In the secur
