Foolinj with Fire.
Romethlnn of a crisis has arisen in connec
tion with the admlnlittratlon of the Hate affairs
of Nebraska, and the democrats at Llnco'.n are
meeting it with their usual blundering faehlon.
They are getting on dangerous ground when
they undertake to atone for legislative failure
to ninke appropriations by spending fees to sup
port the department that collects them. These
fees belong in the general fund of the state and
ran only he appropriated by the legislature.
I'nless specifically set apart by law for a definite
purpoHe, fees cannot legally be d. verted to any
use of any department. If the legislature neg
lects to make provision for the support of any
branch of the. state government It may be dis
continued, or its activities may be carried on In
the bopn that some future legislature will meet
the expense by a deflc enry appropriation, but it
cannot be supported by the Income of fees col
lected. The decision in the case of former
Auditor Eugene Moore does not apply In the
present emergency, and any official who relies
on that to protect blm in misusing state funds
will find he has made a sad mistake. Officials
of the state are responsible for all collections
made by them under the law, -nd have no au
thority to appropriate them for any use of the
state or otherwise. State Treasurer Hall soems
to be about the only democrat at the state house
who Is keeping his level these days.
Proof in the. Precedent.
Tha Omaha Be suKg-rsts the advisability of ap
pointing a republican to '.lie position of Unllel
HtatMi district JudB, made vacant by the death of
Judge Munger. Can The Bee point to the appoint
ment of a diwnoi-rat to aurh a position un.ler a ra
publlcan administration? Not on your Ufa, when
a republican was In algtit. Plaitsmniiih Journal.
It the Journal Insists upon tak.ng a Joke
seriously, It must be up to The Bee to meet the
Issue. We have never known a time when there
were not plenty of good republicans in sight for
every appointive office to be g.ven out by a re
publican administration. Just as there are always
dozens of deserving democrats waiting for every
piece of pie. Can The Bee point to an appoint
ment of a democrat to a Judical position under
a republican administration? The Bee cer
tainly can without even going back further than
the last preceding republican president, as wit
ness this partial list:
Piiprems Court Kdwand D. White of Louisiana,
democrat, promoted to be chlnf Justice; II'. It. Lur
ton of Tenncsses, democrat; Joseph K. Lamar of
Oeorgla, democrat.
Circuit Court Julian W. Mack of Illinois, dem
ocrat; John K. Carland of Bouth Dakota, democrat
Platrlct Courts 11. O. Connor of North Ca olna,
democrat; It. A. M. Smith of Bouth Carolina, dem
ocrat; Gordon Hussell of Ten as, democrat.
Despite this tne array of precedent, how
ever, no one expects President Wilson to name
a republican for the vacant Judgeship In Ne
braska, and so far aa we know, no republicans
are applying. Though they prate loudly about
their devotion to the principle of a nonpartisan
Judiciary, democrats cannot be held to the prac
tice of their preaching when life Jobs are within
their reach.
What About Mexico?
In Its Jubilation over the prospective adjust
ment of the difficulty between the Un.ted States
and Germany the administration seems to have
lost sight again of a serious situation much
nearer home. General Carranza has paid not
the slightest attention to the AU-Amerlcan note,
other than to Inquire In an unofficial way of the
South American diplomats If they really rep
resent their governments In joining in the move
to pacify Mexico. He has no word for the United
States, and has made no apparent effort to com
ply with the suggestion that he unite w th other
loaders In a conference to establish peace. The
Red Cross reports that many Mexicans are starv
ing to death in the capital city of that country,
now otcup.ed by Carransa's forces. This the
"first chief" denies, but the Red Cross people
are not g.ven to exaggeration, and will doubtless
be belloved by Americans, If peace were re
stored at once, most of Mexico's population
would have to be supported by charity until farm
operations could be resumed throughout the de
vastated regions. At present the unfortunate
people there face a winter of starvation, because
of Carransa's obstinacy.

A Concession to Commerce.
The British government has in effect given
its consent to the tree passage of long delayed
sh pments of goods from Germany and Austria
to the United States. This modification of the
order In council, that laid this com men e under
a ban amounting almost to interdiction, may
not be ind estiva of Intent on part of Great
Britain to relax the severity of its sea vigil, but
It does show that the in; ust.ee of the operation
of the general embargo thus Imposed is becom
ing apparent in high quarters. Mill ons of dol
lars worth of goods, now held on the docks at
European ports, which really are owned In the
United States, will be released, and something
of rel.ef will be provided tor the stringency felt
by manufacturers in this country. The con
cession to American commerce lacks someth ng
of heartiness that might be expeoted from a
friendly nation, seeking to further advance Its
own Interests but It has been granted, and that
Is the main point. Considered with the lntimat on
that the German suhaea campaign is to be more
strictly confined to belligerents, and that even
greater significance attaches to recent negotia
tions, the present turn will be accepted as one
more straw showing the set of the wind towards
peace for the world.
John Bull Getting" a Lesion.
John Bull la coming to know something of
how Uncle Sam felt fifty years ago, when his
dollar was so sadly depreciated In the markets
of the world. For a century or longer, the
pound sterling has stood as the monetary unit
or the world, and on it was based He value of
all other moneys. Whatever the medium of ex
change of a nation, when it came to pur chase or
borrow, It found Us coinage balanced against
the paund sterling, and made to come up to the
mark. Now it is different, and the dollar that
was deeply discounted bait a century ago la the
standard, and the pound sterling Is found "to be
short of the mark. War still baa Its effect oa
money, and gold knows no country, has no
patriotism, and takes advantage of every op
portunity to advantage itself. Discount of its
money and shrinkage of its credit Is part of the
price every nation pays for engaging In war, no
matter how holy the cause.

and even tatlnic It to mske sure It was tha "real

but Bdlson. hardly heeding his calls, had waved him
away, saying, 'Don't bother me.'
"On th e last call the collector's Instructions were

ROCHESTER, N. T Aug. 29. To the
Editor of The Bee. The raid of the pro
hibitionists upon tha revision of the
ltiarmacopoeia will have no legal effect
whatever; and the attempt to drop
whisky and brandy from tha list of
remedies, to be described In a future Issue
of the Pharmacopoeia, must be futile aa
It la foolish. The Pharmacopoeia la not
a government publication and la not by
any means the sole dscrtptlvg list of
remedies empliyed In medicine, and can
not confine druggists.
The assumption. In the telegrams stat
ing that the committee of revision had
voted 26 to 34, Dr. Wiley prea.d ng, ta
droi whisky and brandy from the list,
that the act would compe drug.Uu tj
lake out a saloon license to sell whisky
and brandy, has no toundat-on nor
cogency. The action of a partisan com
mittee does not fix the list of remed.es.
Medicine is free; license for the sa.e of
wh.sky by druggists aa a medicine de
pends upon exUt.ng federal uuu Suite
enactments and not upon tha Pharma
copoeia, hut the telegraphed assumption be
trays clearly the Intent of the proh.bl
tionlsts who have apparently mastered
the revision for the time being. For at
one time the committee dropped the whole
subject as unworthy of attention. Then
It was reconsidered by a close majority;
and exclusion was adopted after a hot
debate. M to 24.
Mr. Leonard Martin of Boston la re

himself. The Pharmacopoeia gnuita no

BUA1R, Neb.. Aug. 30. To the Bditor
of The Bee: Just aa scon as a new real

than two. Now If the new arrival would
avail herself of the following scheme
sho might save these, and other ardent
Peeping Ninnies, a vast 'amount of
trouble;
The plan Is this: Hav a large card

the card receiver : "So. id ivory, made

rlgut over the Inside of the front door
have a large label rolled up above the

New York World: Mr. Bryaa'a view
of it Is that if Americana would stay at

seas, German submarines would havs no
chance to murder them and there would
be no trouble between the United Statea
and Germany.
Pittsburgh Dispatch: One thing the
war, or rather the war reports have
done, and that Is to Increase greatly the
average man's bump of caution. There
Is more of a disposition to wait to hear
both sides and believe neither of them.
Philadelphia Ledger: It Is said that
grape Juice has lost Its place of honor
In the State department since the de
parture of Bryan. Whether or not the
Slate department beverages now have a
kick In them. It la certain that State de

Baltimore American: An association
