When the appU reddtni A'ewr pry Lett u lou our Erie Eve and I. " Bromning: A Woman't LaH Word, A neutral nation Is bound to be criticised by ' all the belligerents. That's inevitable. At that, there la no more excuse (or anil German riots tn London than (or antl-Brltisn riots In Berlin. Those who fear for the nation's honor la tho present crisis should survey President Wilson's lower Jaw and cheer up. The international court peace plan at the start Involves an infringement of Colonel Roose velt's Justly celebrated device. Observe that we always hear of these pre monitions that come true, but never of the pru tnonltlons that fall to materialize. Unless San Francisco can enjoin the slides of Culebra, the prospect, of annexing the fleet to the show next summer goes glimmering. If the Lincoln Highway is to be the route for the cross-continent airship race, the landing places, as well as the roadbed, may need atten tion. "Birds of a feather flock together.'" TLa knockers on Omaha always find mutual comfort In one another's company, and when on starts, the chorus follows. Another advantage held out by Nebraska, Is teat a man dying here without heirs may have ; heirs promptly manufactured for him if only the j fortune be big enough. So long as President Wilson has the last word in foreign affairs the country will bear with equanimity the baking powder explosion! of Senator Gumshoe Bill 8tone. i Even if the city hall pie factory worked double shirts, it could not supply the demand. As an appetUlng confection municipal pie com j mands higher favor than the article mother used . to bake.. The disclosure of crooked election methods in the election commissioner's office In Kansai City, Kan., illustrates how easily the best de signed laws respond to the touch of dishonest cdmlnlstrators. The dangerous situation in which bearers of German names find themselves In maddened England emphasises the folly of lighting the fires of racial bate without providing fire es capes for Innocent victims. On the first of April the cold storage ware houses of New Jersey held 16,3:1.115 pounds of meat, or 0 per cent more than a year ago, and seven times the quantity In storage two years ago. Still there are those who contend thst speculation hss nothing to do with the high cost of meat. Ttia Nebraaka state druxaleta -inj ih.i. tng by electing If. D. Boyd on of Grand laland as pres ident, P. r. Zlmmer of the earns city aa secretary and C. r. Goodman of Omaha, treasurer. They also da elded te hold their next moating again la Omaha The Nebraaka Telephone company baa sent the fol lowing aotice to eubecubers: "Certain parties are so.na about towns attaching a email wooden tuba to telephones, claiming by their use bettor results in talking. We would respectfully call your attention to the fact that such Inventions are frauds and their use on transmitters positively forbidden by tho Amer ican Telephone company." The ( hold at lirownell Hall to raise money for a building fund proved a grand suocesa and the enter tainment netted I r 1.66. L. B. Williams, the dry goods merchant, returned from California, but will remain only long enough to close up .hla business and will then remove perms nenlly to that slate on account of his greatly improved IsOfcltiV Rev. V. W. C. Huntington, lata of flochestsr. one .of the moet eminent divines of the Methodist church, is t. be in Omaha and occupy tho pulpit of the Seward "thodiet Episcopal church Sunday. i ani I An International Court of Justice. The court convention at Clevelsnd hsg ten tatively put forth a suggestion that deserves serious consideration. H Is for an international court of Justice, to which msy be brought causes that are now handled through other channels, and which only too frequently lead to serious friction between nations. Such a court could easily be made an Instrument for the preserva tion of peace between nations, following tho Ideal of President Taft's proposals, when he sought to negotlste treaties providing for tin arbitration of international disputes. The de sirability of such a tribunal lg admitted. Judge Alton B. Parker's criticism of the United States senate for having blocked the way to the consummation of the Taft treaties Is well put. Partisan or personal selfishness engen dered opposition to President Taft's plans and brought his efforts to naught. When revived by Mr. Bryan it proved that the senate was too busy trying to carry out a democratic caucus (program for "reform" to give much time to the serious consideration of so Important a topic as the establishment of peace throughout the world. It is not at all pleasant to view the present situation In Europe end recall at tin same time some of the objections raised against the Taft treaties five years ago by senators of the United States. The weakness of an International court of Justice will lie In the difficulty of enforcing Its decrees. However, the strong likelihood that after the present war more attention will be paid to treaties between nations supports the hope that harmony will be more easily established and preserved. A permanent tribunal for the settlement of International differences will be a mighty engine for good. One Disadvantage Apparent. . One complication that Is likely t0 arise from Interruption of friendly Intercourse with Ger rosny is the possible disqualification of the United States to act as mediator when the time for readjustment of International relations on a peace basis arrives. This contingency is, of course, remote, and yet It is within the range of possibility, and Is a factor In the importance of the present Intercourse with Germany. It might not be vital to the cause of peace to have the United States eliminated as arbiter of the negotiations, yet the advantage of having the proceedings moderated by the presence of the most powerful nation of the world not actually engaged In the war is so distinct as to need no argument. If the United States should be disqualified, the situation might bring to the fore one of the South American republics, for the neutral Eu ropean nations will suffer for the same reason thst we do. It has been all along tacitly con ceded 'that this country would be looked to as the "great and good friend" of all the belliger ents, a poeitlbn thst Is Jeopardized to some ex tent by reason of present conditions. Bring Back tho Backitamping. Here lg a demand voiced by former Congress man Murdoch, again on the Job with the Wltchlta Eagle, which, we want to endorse and emphasise. It Is a demand for restoration of the backstamplng of Incoming mall, and Mr. Mur doch ststes the case lucidly as follows: Ths Postofrice department should put back the back-stamp the time of receipt of a letter. The de partment aneaked out of tha custom with the plea that back-stamping rauaed delay. That la balderdaah. The trouble was that back-atamplng let tha public keep tab on the efficiency of tha postal service, and led to a flood of complaint and proteat, which v. as Irritating certainly, but beneficial to the public and tha service. The receiver of a delayed letter without a back-stamp can not tell whether the delay occurred in the office of depoett. on tha train. In the local office or in delivery. He Is In tha dark. But tha receiver of a delayed letter ran check up the local service at a glane. If the letter Is stamped In the office at the hour of receipt. Tha country la demanding a return to tha former practice. The Poatofflca department Is resisting the demand. Tha country Is right about It. end ought to have Ita way. And If It howle long enough and loud enough, It will have. With ' the automatic mechanical stamping maohlne generally in use In all of our postof fices of any slse, the backstamplng would take no time worth mentioning, although it might en tail a little extra labor. As a matter of fact, however, there is much more reason to have th receiving time noted on a letter than the send ing time if one had to be dispensed with, but there Is no food reason why we should not hare both. letting Off Steam. Every once la a while the pressure in the boiler of the big locomotive becomes so strong that the engineer finds it wise to let off steam That is the condition produced la this country by the Lusitanla incident, followed as it has been by over-heated outbursts of excited people denouncing the torpedoing of the vessel as an outrage or defending it as a legitimate measure of warfare. These ebullitions of voice and pen are tn a way simply letting off steam that will goon result In again equalising temperatures and permit of cooler Judgment. It Is a mighty good thing that i have free speech and free press ss safety valves of the republic tn all such critical times. The melting pot of Great Britain continues huBlneee, for which the war- is . responsible. Legal notices published in newspapers as re quired by law show a large number of Germans born or naturalised tn Britain are abandoning their surnames and substituting Anglicized names. Joseph Schwelgert becomes Josepi Palmer; Carl Ernest Zundell switched to Charlee Ernest 8undeli; Trends Norman Maximilian Pflstermelster changed to rrancis Norman Max imilian Masters, and so on. Britishers object to the practice because ancestral Identity Is hid den under English names, a practice fortified by centuries of English custom. The remains of the doctrine of states' rights, long ago embalmed and placed in a mortuary chspel, are booked for early and final burial Federal laws are the grave diggers. Uniformity and efficiency, backed by tho fearsome reach of the national government, are the forces behiad the punch of federal laws which win popularity at every turn. Even msnufacturers, hitherto relying on state laws, now demand a federal statute governing the working houre of women and children, as the only means of securing uni formity and effective regulation. TUP: BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, MAT Is Nebraska Slowing Up? Frederick SC. Davenport la Taa Ontlook I AM not at all sure that the distinction would hold, but If slowing up in the pars of prosrees is mora or less of a voluntsry act, and slowing down Indi cates fatigue, that Is tho preclea distinction 1 wish to make between conditions In Nebraaka and clrcum atanres In Kansss. Nebraska Is slowing up In tha on ward march, but gives no evidence of wesrlnesa Kansss exhibits some symptoms of at least temporary political exhaustion Nebraska hss been radical. For nearly sixty years Nebrsska and Kansas have been subject to periodic volcanic outbursts of fiery politics! energy. And Wall street has more than once sat up nights In alarm. Well, the physical and moral vigor of pioneers Is apt to be radical. But there are other reasona In Ne braska. The border alwsys feels the need of ready money, and tha flat fever of ths territorial days lasted well towarde tha close of the nineteenth cen tury. But this was not peculiar to Nebraska. It Is a nations! falling. The moet depreaslng chapter of American history, from the colonial daye down to 1HM. la the financial chapter. Men like Hamilton and Gallatin are oasea In a dreary desert of blundering despair. The whole ifnlted States Is now on the way to financial aelf-control, but It has been a alow pro cess. TVm't blame Nebrsska too harshly. At the creat of territorial settlement It ran Into the panic of '87. Just as esstern Nebraska wss being widely set tled there came the penlc of '73. And while western Nebrsska wss rspidly filling up with fsrms.and homes, on swept the panic of '98. On the whole, there has been a good deal to disturb Nebrsska all the way along. There Is nothing clearer In the development of Ne braska then the growth of political moderation, than the lessening of mere radicalism as the exasperation of early obstacles has been slowly overcome and a stable prosperity has been established In the common wealth. But you forget populism, ssys my resder, and tha unregenerate days of the esrly '00s of the nineteenth century. Gentle reader, the other day I looked up the populist platform of that period, and It startled me. Tha astonishing thing is that so much of their program has been carried out by tha nation and by most of the states of the country. In Nebraska It was a revolution. Great open-air mass-meeting from one end of the state to the other bails farewell to ancient political tlea. to the music of tha homely song of "Good By, Old Party. Good By." The wiser of ths demands of populism in Nebrsska have slowly been met. snd as they have been met tha stata has grown in balance and In self control. First came the Australian secret ballot, and tha voter thenceforward could register his choice with none to molest or make him afraid. Next came the climax of tha long struggle with railway domination of the politics of ths state, the legislature cutting the tether of the free pass which had for a genera tion held "leading cltitens" in lessh of the railway machine, and through a government commission and supervision over rates popular sovereignty at last sst regnant over the old railway regency. At the same time the people wrung from their unwilling representatives a law yielding Into their power the nomination ss well ss the election of candldatea to public office. In 1907 was tho year when freedom woka and the people of Nebraska came into thlr own. Their governor and leader was Oeorge I Shel don. He is a fsrmer somewhere in Mississippi now. He was not re-eieeted. As Nebraska looks back. It Is difficult to see that any administration did mora for the people of the stats than the Phsldon administra tion. But ths cltlsenshlp of Nebraska waa unwary and allowed Sheldon's foes to get him In the next encounter. Democracy will take a rifle on Its shoulder and go to the defense of tha Ideas which its fore most men have established In tha law of tha land: but democracy Is very careless about backing up the personal fortunes and tha honor of Its cholceet lead ersthat Is, while they are alive. It will bo all right on ths monuments! Of recent years progress haa been slower In Ne braska than In Wisconsin or Kansss. In 111 came ths Initiative and referendum, giving tha electorate oppor tunity, apart from the legislature, to adopt and reject laws. At tha same time a law was passed providing for the commission form of government In cities. But the population has grown more conservative and la slowing up. Puch states aa Nebraaka and South Da kota were more radical twenty years ago than they are now, Tha population of Nebraska at present Is probably one-half of foreign birth or tho children of first generation. This element Is highly conservative, and has a considerable mixture of the later German Immigration and ef Bohemians and Scandinavians. Here is a altuation which makes Nebraska a difficult state for ths advance of prohibition, an .Issue which In a considerable number of ths native American commonwealths of tha west haa already attained sig nificant and startling proportions. Tt waa this rock which bowled Mr, Bryan over In the leadership of the democratic; party within the state In 1M0 when ha faced tha convention with the county- option proposal for tho oontrol of the liquor traffic. Woman suffrage has long been an Issue In Ne braska end Is now very close to winning. Last November, In a total vote of JOO.Oro, It waa beaten by only t.om. And some of the "wot" cities- for tha first time furnished a majority for woman suffrsge. Thst wss the work of tha advanced young Germans. Out in the farming communities, where tha later migra tion ef Germans, Bohemians end Scandinavians have thalr homes, there was a strong voting opposition. Ths advance of the people of Nebraska Is steadier than It was, but eager and continuous. Owing to the long-standing foud between Bryan and Hitchcock, be tween radical and reactionary republicans, it la pretty difficult for anything but mediocre ability to enter Into elected publlo leadership for state officers, and the material canter of public Idealism namely, ths state capital building Is a moet disreputable shack. But ths pulse of public opinion in Nebraska seemed to me to be exceedingly firm and strong. As to political parties, tha progressive vote fell to lG.ono t 1914 not enough to affect ths governorship, which Is now demo cratic but sufficient to defeat four republicans for state office. Government tn Nebraska hss grown by a series of separated impulses until there are now eighty-two bureaus or commissions or divisions to admlnlatsr It. And each of tho eighty-two groups goes to the legis lature to lobby, and, through its friends, to secure aa much money as It can spend. The desire for economy on the part of ths Nebraaka farmer Is partly Just constitutional, and partly through a wish for real efficiency In government. But it la a healthy sign, in Iowa and Nebraska there is a strong demand to put a time-clock on the government smploysa. which la enough to make tha cold shivers run down the back of all tha patronags Jobbery In ths country. Nebraska also, like moat ether states, la coming to see the need of a far shorter ballot. If popular choice of officers Is to continue to be anything but a shadow Instead of a substance. Ballots In Nsbraska have grown to be ninety-two Inches long, with eighty choices to bo marked by tha voter from groups of candidates, to say nothing about deciding on a lot of Initiative and referendum proposals which demand expert Judgment. Of course ths voter know none too much about the legislaUva and constitutional proposals, and nothing at all about many of tha candidatee. Nebraska Is after the subetaaee rather than tbs form of democ racy . and Is sharpening ths scythe to out through this Jungle. Nebraska end Kansas have long bean tha target ef the ridicule and misgiving ef tho conservative and moneyed easterner. I wonder at It. Tha farmers of tha middle west have helped New Tork bankers ami tha country out of financial perpiexttlea more than once. At the outbreak of the present war we owed Europe tKd.otio.ooe. And the possihis demand for it gave Wall street great concern. But ths Increasing exports of ths toll of ths termers of the middle weet paid this vast sura off rapidly, so that wa were soon ova eur alarm. Aad, furthermore and finally, if there la any elttaen in the I'nited States who can be counted upon to ahoulder a rifle and go to tho front la defense of genuine property right. H Is the Ne braska and Kansas farmer. Ha hss a property stake In tha richest soli la ths world, lis la ths a reelect natural conservative fores In tha American democracy. And the politicians ef Wall street If there be any such would be wise te understand It. 14. WIS. in 11 11 naaaagmrr they that ere God.

EN ROUTE, Msy li.-To the EVIItor of The Bee: rermit me to criticise severely your headline artist who took V upon himself to write ths caption for Dr. Gerhard's letter, "From a German Who Olortre In It." That headline waa plainly Intended to create prejudice and Is a mlsf hlevous mlrerresentstlon of the con tents of the letter, which was obviously written as a defense against the furious denunctatlcns arising from rro-Prltls'i sources. It certslnly does not redound to tho credit of The Pee to allow Its headline writers such latitude. If an unbiased history of the war is ever written the attldude of the press as manifested through its heaillne writers will form an Impo-tant chapter. Groanly. an1 In many cases mallcloualy misleading headlines, have probably dono more to create prejudice and to spread "psychic contagion" then censored news, fake re ports SJii 'editorials.

SHERIDAN, Wyo., May 12. -To the Editor of The Bee: Thi United Statee Is facing the most serious problem since old Independence Bell rang out Its glad tidings on July 4. 1773, since Fort Sumter wss fired upon in April, 1861, nr.d the battleship Maine waa sunk In Havana harbor. All three of these Incidents led to a war. But what of war? Where Is the Justice In It? What argument as to the right and wrong of a discussion is there In gunpowderT The best definition ever given of war was that given by General William Tecumseh Sherman: "War is hell!" The destruction of the Lusitanla waa an act horrible enough to shame every fair minded Individual. It is an act that will undoubtedly set all natione to think ing seriously of the right and wrung of war. They will realize that it Is not right tn the name of God and Christianity, of Justice, to march hundreds of thous ands of Innocent, irresponsible, young men to tha front and shoot them down because the leaders of thoss nations are In a political discussion. They will realize that the aheddlng of human blood does not settle the right or wrong of a dispute. It Is ridiculous and awful to kill these young men, aa' was tha old time practice of duelling, which never decided which party was In tha right or wrong. There are tew people In the United States that really know why this Euro pean war started, and still less who can reason how it can be stopped and settled for. But,, whatever comes up. It is to be hoped our people will b careful, thought ful, conservative, hopeful and encour aging to all that means for peace, for everlasting peace between all the nations of the earth. Let us stand by our noble President Wilson and help him with all that Is best In us. Ha Is our president and wa must uphold him and support blm, no matter what our political beliefs may be. HORACE P. HOLM m, ii. V. Te Pet a Preacher Rlg-at. OMAHA. May IS. To the Editor of The Eee: A sermon recently ' preached In Omaha In opposition to Christlsn Sci ence assumed such a bias as to call for a few words of comment It would seem that wa might all agree upon certain axiomatic propositions as, that one should not make solemn and re iterated statements that ths textbook of Christian 8clenca is such a mass of Jum bled confusion hat no one can under stand It, and then proceed for over two hours to expound Its fundamental teach ings and denounce them. Further, the dispassionate listener Is spt to be put on inquiry when It Is ad mitted that ths church has failed In Its duty to obey ths command to "heal ths sick," admits that Christian Science is endeavoring to meet that duty and then denounces It as unscrlptural and. con trary to the teachings of Jssus. It brings ens neer enough to the shores of Galilee to hear the Pharisees say. "This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelse bub, the prince ef ths devils," and thua history rspeats Itself. "Whereas I was blind, now I see" haa been accepted for centuries ss ths ftnal word of argument and so long as Christian Science submits to this test. It 111 becomes any other church to denounce as blasphemous ths works which they admit Jeaus com manded and which they have failed to do. It needs no prolixity of discourse to prove the fundamental teachings of Chris tlsn Science, nor should It be ths occa sion of any surprise, or aa If a mystery hsd been uncovered. That Christian Science teaches that God la Love, that God Is Spirit. Life, Truth. Is indeed true. The mystery lies In ths fsct that a minister of the Gospel, of an orthodox church in an unusually intelligent community should find fault with the pioposlUon. It Is safe to say that not a member ef tho infant class In his Sunday school but what knows that "God la Love" and probably not one of them ever heard of "Science and Health." There is nothing In Christian Science that Is not in the Bible, and the text book occupies tha same subordinate posi tion to ths Bible thst ths p rear her does when he delivers a sermon from a Bible text. The text book being Impersonal, never loses Its temper, which, on the whole. Is a good thing. Mrs. Eddy does Indeed define God aa All-In-All, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipo tent, all-loving, sternal. Principle, the great I Am. Do the schools of theology place a limit on God In any of the above particulars? Moreover. It Is quite true that Chris tlsn 6clence draws a very sharp line ef demarcation between the real man. made In tha linage and likeness of God, and the carnal or mortal man. In common, however, with the other teachings of Christian Science there Is no originality In this. "The carnal snlnd Is samity against Ood: far It la not subject to the law of God, neither, Indeed, can be. 60, then. Christian duty," taught, ' If you sins, just forgVt It does not so he could not Science. He fias 'A sinner is assuring him because there Is no sin.

It must be highly gratifying to an audience of thinking people to he adjured not to Investigate Christian Science for thcmsvlves, as they were but illy fitted to do it .and anyway Surely there is no "commerclsltsm" in going to lh3 public library and getting a copy of "Science and Health" and find ing out what about the Book of Genesis, about prayer, about ti e nesting as taught by Jeaus. snd if they do this the words of the I salmlst w ill again be verified, "Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee."
