Relations between Great Britain sod the Scandinavian countries are coming to a focus, nd the action of Sweden signifies that the eutrals In northwest Europe are not entirely pleased with the way the Allies have been con- uctlng the war. The embargo on malls Is but ne of the many points on which disputes torn, hut the Incident brings to the front the whole uestlon of the relations between neutrals ard belligerents. The restrictions fmposed by Eng- and are naturally resented by Sweden, and by other neutrals, for that matter. Intercourse be- ween countries at war and countries at peace s admittedly subject to Interference by one or the other of the belligerents, but how far th nterference must be tolerated has never been settled. It Is equally true that neither belllger- nt has any right to Intercept or molest traffic between noncombatant nations, and this Is what the British are doing. Sweden Is Just now very essential to the Allies, as affording the most accessible route for communication with Russia. The Swedes are not especially friendly to Russia, for many political and economic reasons, but have so far maintained a strict neutrality on the point Due to the desirability of keeping open this route to Petrograd, the present issue may not terminate in Sweden being forced Into the war. Some modification of the present practice of the British government will likely follow, but H is not probable that a full recognition of the rights contended for by the neutrals will Immediately be granted. The United States is concerned In the matter very deeply, for although no steps at reprisal have yet been taken on this side, the provoca tion has been quite as great and fully as annoy- ng as that which has stirred the Swedes to the show of spirit now manifest. , No signs of any move for a preference prim ary to decide to which deserving democrat the Omaha postofflce plum should go. Nothing distinguishes this as a free country any more than that any one who wants to run for any elective office In the land has a perfect right to do so. Apparently the Allies dread applying the Bel gian treatment to Greece, preferring the slower, but equally effective method of progressive strangulation. If the weather department looks over and beyond the Instruments and charts it will quickly find that a prediction of "high winds" is as safe now as In March. The only thing left for our great and good friend Villa to do In retaliation on his former chief is to issue a counter-proclamation, declar ing Carranza'a life a forfeit, and Inviting any patriot to take it. The limit on postal savings accounts Is to be raises from $500 to f 1,000. But why should there be any limit? Why. stop people from loan ing their money to the government at 2 per cent if they want to? The Illinois vice report must not be taken to mean, however, that there Is no immorality among women who earn more than 8 a week, but rather that the temptations are greater for lb more poorly paid. The proclamation dooming Villa, Castro and Lopes to a premature shuffle lacks the speed tng-up qualities of financial reward. It the proc lamation carried a hunch of real money, results sould make a new speed record. As a retreat for royalty Involuntarily exiled, Italy affords decided advantages. The country i itudded with remnants of ancient elegance and ranished glory, which exhale an atmosphere of (oneness peculiarly suited to the welcomed (uests. It Is worth while noting In connection with '.he Illinois vice report that some members of the Investigating committee gave practical effect to their preachment against an Insufficient wage The courts of the state are now seeking light to Ihe whereabouts of an excess appropriation of to a brother of the chairman. ' Some Cermaa critics echoing the sentiment tt Maxmllllan Harden, accuse American of greed and a surpassing reach for the dollar. Higher and nobler Ideals obtain in Germany. The imposition of a monthly tax ot 40,000,000 francs on conquered Belgium rises to a loftles plsne. Scorn for the dollar Is overshadowed by love for the frsnc. No One-Term Plank for Wilson. No little comment has been evoked by the recent publication of a letter written by Presi dent Wilson, repudiating the one-term plank, the salient parts ot which we reprint in another column. This epistle, which purports to have been addressed to Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer, In February, 1918, after his election as president but a few weeks before his induction into office, discusses the question dispassionately enough, wit'- the usual arguments to support the existing condition by which the people are free to say at four-year Intervals how long they wish to continue a president in the White House. But that is really not so Important as the self-furnished proof the letter gives that Mr. Wilson never took his solemn platform covenant as binding upon "himself, yet, kept his dissent to It secret until after his election. Adverting to this, the Outlook says: We wish that Mr. Wilson had declared hlmaeif on thla point while seeking the votes of his fellow cltU sans; but that Is now a. bygone. Ha has now made his position clear before soaking re-election or svaa re- nomination. Plainly, therefore, Mr. Wilson did not make his position clear while seeking his original nomination and election, but, on the contrary, let people vote for him under the belief thai the platform declaration fori a single term and Its unusual ' obligation of I the candidate to this principle was accepted by him and would be observed by him. It now develops that the abandonment by the democrats of all effort to submit the promised one-term constitutional amendment Is charge able to the influence of this letter of the presi dent's. The ready-to-hand answer to the sugges tion ot bad faith, however, is that the one-term plank has been maltreated no worse than many other parts of the Baltlmora platform, which, despite Its asseverations, was built "to get in on," hut not "to stand on."

The Illinois vice commission has concluded Its protracted Investigation with a report that sweepingly charges a long list ot shortcomings to the people ot the Sucker state. The docu ment apparently has the fatal weakness, Inher ent la Its kind. It proves too much. The report hits in every direction and at many things as causes tor the condition complained of. The Investigators lay much stress on low wages for women as the principal contributing cause for moral lapsatton. This Is a favorite allegation ot vice hunters, who never fail to assert that lack of sufficient pay leads lovely woman to stoop to folly, and sometimes tbey tlx a minimum below which morals melt and vice Is embraced. In this case the danger point Is set at f 8 per week. Aside from this ever recurring charge, the report, so tar as furnished the public, dis closes nothing ot especial novelty, nor that could not have been readily ascertained by apply ing to the chief ot police or the district' attorney. Poverty is not the principal cause of Immor ality, and It Is a gratuitous insult to the hun dreds ot thousands of honest girls and women who toll for low wages to insinuate that they are morally weaker than their sisters who are better housed and fed. Nor Is a minimum wage law the remedy. Wages are too low, when they fall below the point where decent living is possible, but this is an economic and not a moral question. One thing is certain: The situation in Illinois can be no worse than is described. It will be interesting to watch the process by which the legislators apply the remedy. Lawgivers from the time ot Moses down have grappled with this question, and it is yet undisposed of. A visit to Tbe Hague is well worth the cost of the side trip to members of the Ford peace mission. An Inspection of tbe Spanish prison. the Blnnerhof and tbe House in the Woods are inspiring In different ways, with the Carnegie Peace palace topping all in thoughtful thrills, The florid gorgeousness of this floated temple should Impress aven a peace missionary with the hollowness of men's professions ot peace.

And at last accounts, this wording of the statute remains unchanged, though forgotten, accidentally or on purpose, by the honorable members of the water board. Wilson and Second Term ! alien paragraphs of letter written by prealdeat-eleet la retmary, 1S13, repudiat ing oae-term plank of platform oa which ha had just bee a elected. T WAS characteristically considerate of you to ask my views with regard to the joint resoiti- tlon which has Just come over from the house to the senate with regard to the presidential term. I have not hitherto said anything about thla que, tlon, because I had not observed that there was sny evidence that the public was very much Interested In It. I must have been mistaken In thla, else the senate would hardly have acted so promptly upon it. "The question Is simply thla: Shall our presidents be free,, so far as tha law Is concerned, to aet-k a second term of four years, or shall they be limited by constitutional amendment to single term of four years, or to a single term extended to six years? "I can approach tha subject from a strictly Im personal point of view, because I shall moat cheep fully abide by tha Judgment of my party and tha publle as to whether I shall be a candidate for the presidency again In 191ft- I abaolutely pledge myself to resort to nothing but public opinion to decide that question. "Tha president ought to be abaolutely deprlxed of every other means of deciding it. He can be. I shall use to tha utmost every proper Influence within rr.f reach to sea that he Is, before the term to whldt I have been elected la out That side of the matter need disturb no one. "And. yet. If he la deprived of every other means of deciding the question, what becomes of tha argu ment for a constitutions! limitation to a single term? Tha argument Is not that It Is clearly known now Just how long each president should remMn In office. IFour years la too long a term for a president who la not tha true spokesman of the people, who 1s Im posed upon and does not lead. It Is too short a term for a president who is doing or attempting a great work of reform and who has not had time to finish It. "To change the term to sis years would be to In crease the likelihood of its being too long, without any assurance that It would. In happy cases, be long enough. A fixed constitutional limitation to a single tern of office Is hllghly arbitrary and unsatisfactory from every point of view. "The argument for It rests upon temporary con ditions which can easily be removed by law. Presl. dents. It is said, are effective for one-half of their term only because they devote their attention during the last two years of the term to building up tha influences, and above all the organisation, by which they hope and purpose to secure a second nomination and election. "It Is their Illicit power, not their legitimate in fluence with the country, that tha advocates of a constitutional change profess to be afraid of. and I heartily sympathise with them. It is Intolerable thst any president should be permitted to determine who should succeed him himself or another by patronayo or coercion, or by any sort of control of the ma chinery by which delegates to tha nominating con vention are chosen. "There ought never to be another presidential nominating convention; and there need never be an other. Several of tbe states have successfully solved that dlffloulty with regard to the choice of their governors, end federal law ran solve It in the same way with regard to the choice of presidents. Thu nominations should be made directly by tha people at tha polls. "Conventions should determine nothing but party platforms and should be made up of the men who would be expected. If elected, to carry those plat forms Into effect. It Is not necessary to attend to the people's business by constitutional amendment If you will only actually put the business into the peo ple's own hands. "I think it may safely be assumed that that will be done within the next four years; for It can be done by statute; tt need not wait for constitutional change. That being dona, the questions of the presidential term can be discussed oa Its merits. "The present fact la that the president is held responsible for what happens In Washington in every large matter, and so long as he Is commanded to lead be la surely entitled to a certain amount of power- all the power he can get from the support end con victions and opinions of his fellow countrymen; and he ought to be suffered to use ttiat power against his opponents until his work 's dona. It will be veiy difficult for him te abuse It. He holds It upon suffer. anoe, at the pleasure of public opinion. Every ene else, his opponents included, has access to opinion, as he has. lie must keep the confidence of the country by earning It, for be can keep It In no other way. 'Put the present customary limitation of two terms Into the constitution. If you do not trust the people to take care of themselves, but make it two terms (not one, because four years la often two long). and give the president a chance to win the full service by proving himself tit for It."

HOLDREOE, Neb., Jan. 1. To the Editor of Tha Bee: I want to make a statement In answer to the letter of Governor Morehead which you published. He says ha got a letter from L. N. Miller of the Hampton hotel, claiming there waa something wrong about the death of the woman that went to meet a man at an other hotel. Why did he not say the Evans hotel? The facts in the case are theae: The man was here before the woman came. She came In on the second section of No. S, Christmas night. They registered ss man and wlfo. My night clerk showed them to their room after 11 o'clock. About o'clock they called for a doctor, and within ten minutes the clerk had two doctors In the hotel to see, her. When I got up Drs. Anderson and Newman said there was no hope for her, and a short time afterwards they pronounced her dead. I Immediately called the coroner and he made a thorough examination and pronounced her death to be caused from heart disease. The undertaker re moved the body, which was shipped out on No. at 12:32 o'clock. I saw the coroner the next morning and we called the county attorney In and stated the case to him. They decided there was no use holding an Inquest, aa there were two doctors with her when she died, and that there was no foul play whatever. The case is open for any In vestigation that any one wants to make. This man Miller knew all tho facts be fore ha wrote theae lettera, .or If not, he could have gotten them from the coroner or the county attorney. H. H. REED, Proprietor Evans Hotel. Recog-nttton of U. A. R. Billon. SILVER. CREEK, Neb.. Jan. 19.-To the Editor of The Boo: As an old soldier of the civil war, speaking only for myself, but believing that I voice, at least in some measure, tho ;neral sentiment of my comrades, I desire to express my heart felt appreciation of the action of tho State Board of Agriculture at Its meet ing In ordering that hereafter all veterans of the civil war wearing the Grand Army button shall be admitted free to the State fair on all days of the week. It Is not that we are to be saved the half dollar at the gate. When first In formed of the action of tha board no such though entered my mind, not do I for an Instant suppose that Charles Graff and his committee that recommended It were actuated by any such motive. Nevertheless, I suppose that it Is true that many old soldiers will hereafter at tend the State fair who otherwise would not have done so by reason ot the ex pense which they could 111 afford. Rather, It la this, thst the thought ot that very grateful action of the board filled me Hke a flood with memories of that four years of war, and I was glad to be again reminded that for our services of more than fifty years ago we still held aa old soldiers a warm place In the hearts of the American people. If, possibly, any one laments that the gate receipts at the Btate fair wilt be lessened, which -I doubt, he need only to remember that the days of the Grand Army of the Republic are numbered; that there la no field, from which they can draw recruits, and that their rapidly de creasing numbers point unerringly to the time when all shall have answered the final roll call and gone down tha silent way. Not long hence only one old vet eran will pass the gate, and In silent reverence all will do him honor. .
