Great Britain's Imperial cauncll has issued another order, dealing with the question of con traband, that will further complicate its rela tions with neutrals, and moot certainly will ag gravate the friction already existing. All gold and silver, paper money, negotiable instruments snd realisable securities, have been declared absolute rontrsbsnd. Tb purposo of this order la plain enough, It Is intended to further m t'srrsss the commercial Intercourse of neutral nations with England's enemies, and will sup plement the embargo lsld on sea traffic, For many months complaints hare been beard and direct charges msd' thst remittances bave been Intercepted In malls going through tbe censor's hands, even checks of United states officials not being exempt from selxure, so the r.ew order will serve to authorize a practice already established Ift connection with the ex amination of private correspondence passing through the malls, It will also raise another very serious diplomatic question, The convention of Geneva aa to the exemp tion of malls from selxure and search wss not subscribed to In Its entirety by Great Britain, but the question of confiscation of private funds has never heen raised. Tbe rtgbt to seize con traband passing through tha mails In parcels post Is not denied, but tbe extension of this rlfcht to Include money and tbe like will give the whole mstter of sanctity of mails a new In tret, The disposition lo disregard all neutral rights Is growing rs!.hr than diminishing. Great Britain's course Is snd bss been ex tremely Irrltsble to the neutrals, and is not more apt to establish sympathy than Is the German submarine campaign. How Many Votes in Oar Nebraska Primary I Much speculation Is being Indulged ss to the probsble number of votes that will be polled In tbe coming Nebraska primary. The returns from lows, Minnesota, Illinois and Michigan, where prlmsrles have already been held, Indi cate a very small participation, but If. Is hardly fair to take theni sa pointers for Nebraska for the reason thst In those slates nothing but the ct ntest for convention delegstea hss been In vclved, while here we are not. only choosing ftflegsfes, but Also nominating a full set of state, leglslstlve, judicial and county tickets. Furthermore, this la the first time that the Ne btaska primary will bave Included all the ectlva offices formerly divided with off-year cnmpalgns, but now consolidated through the adoption of biennial elections, Four yesrs ago the total primary vote In Ne braska wus approximately 126,000, of which 77,000 wss cast on tho republican side and 47,000 on the democratic side. While much will depend on weather conditions, still, with I be additional offices on tbe ticket, the total this year should not fall short of whst It was four years ago, and It seems to us reasonable to expect a republican vote of between 75,000 and 00,000 and a democratic vote approximat ing (0,000. Carranza Getting; Bad Advice. Benor C'srranr.a hss been listening to some very bad advice, from a source as yet undis closed. He gives evidence of this by asking Ms great snd good friend at Washington to de sist from further efforts to overhaul I'ancho Villa and to withdraw American troops, leaving the further pursuit of tha bandit to tbe Mexi can "government." Csrranug has already made Mn record as a pacifier, and tbe result was tbe n assacre of sleeping Americana at Columbus. His feeble efforts at government have brought nr thing of service to his people, unless it be the punitive expedition now In progress, The American troops hsve dona more to quiet Chi huahua and to establish order in the few days they have been there than tbe Csrranlstas have achieved in years. Their presence has been of immense advantage to the first chli-X, If be only had the gumption to realize what is kofng on r.bout him. He would do far better lo hrartlly co-operate with General Pershing and get tbe Villa business closed up as soon as pos sible. Then he will see the American soldiers retire and leave him In command of a country be never can control. Caropen'i Qualifications. The people of Omaha have an opportunity presented to secure a man on the Water board vboas tra'nlng and experience make his aerv Ices valuable far beyond the compensation of the office. We refer to Oeofge L, Cainpcn, formerly assistant city engineer of Omaha, and, before that, city engineer of Lincoln and engi neer In charge of public works at Panama. In these rspacillea, he hss had to solve problems of hydraulics, engineering, construction and operation, which none of the present members t f the board have had. In addition, he pna srsaes familiarity with the problems of munici pal lighting, gained from constructing snd operating tba municipal lighting plsnt lt Mu tt.

I never solblted a single vol for or sgalnet a sing!" candidate, which could be easily verified If Ihrse people who sr quick fo paa resolutions, would tnako Inquiry. I did reserve the right to vote, a privilege I hop I may hv a long I l!v.

He I ad ministrator for severs! estate, and sll bis properly Inlereets are there and lie has sdopted the plan of voting snd at tending lo hi other buatneas mstter at th sam time, a privilege h ha a law ful right lo exercise. Warden W, T. Fenton wa born and rled In lllchardson county and hae voted ther all hi llf. It h voted sev er! time In rail City snd before thst time st Pswson, Mr, Johnson ha been In th state aev eral year snd has always voted st Falls City. Unfortunately th people who red th resolution could not know th real facts In thl snd might I misled by cunning, shrewd politicians. Th lady who pre sided st the meeting, Mr. T. J. fJfst, snd who I sister of Congressmen JIevl, I accredited with being one of the hrwdet politician In th slsl of Ne braeka, tier husband, who was a candi dal for moyor at th recent election, snd who l, by th wy, a high cla gen tleman, wa defeated ky 14 vote, which was much more of a dlppolntment to Mrs, rjlst than to her husband, fill Is playing the gam quit strong ss her brother hss always don for th quarter of a century of my scqualntanc, being wet to th wet man snd dry to ths dry mn. Hh went far enough lo try and Implied John Msgulre, who they think my tas a candidal againat her brother st th coming election, Tho who sre In poelon of the fact and would be fair, will credit th change of eondltlona In Fall City from a dry to a wet town, to th unfair. In tolerent methnda of a few men and women, I met men who have been dry si It heir lifetime, who refud to b In aulted or to have a fw of these kind of people dictate to them end run the town. On man In particular, an old soldier, remained until after th votes were counted; he hss alwaya voted dry, and tyd during the entire day to fight agalnt thl class of voters. This Is not th first attack. When they cannot use th wet snd dry propoaltlon, they resort to the danominatlonal quee tlon, as they did at the laat state election, tactic which no on would practice ex cept the loweat type of elllnenslilp. They never practice tt In the open, tjirt get men to do It who are not, above the avrg typ of criminal; they reap the benefit, whll th poor Imbeell who doe their bidding, get the condemna tion, I ovetd t th last city election of Fslls City snd will b on hairiJ April II to vet In th ptimsry snd shall continue to vote when end where snd ss my Judg ment diets!

Many a runner starts out looking fit, but after a lap or two, falls behind and is "all in" at the finish of the race. So it is with typewriters. Some of them do good work at the start, but under the strain of continued use lose the close adjustments necessary to produce neat, clean cut typewriting. They fail before they reach the home stretch. The L. C. Smith & Bros, typewriter will run the ordinary course, come in strong at the finish and be ready for another race. One of the reasons for this is the ball bearings found in all much used parts. Constant use can only make them run smoother and "sweeter." The L. C. Smith &. Bros, typewriter is as good at the finish as at start. Strut tday far ruloff Siknt (S-7 S J) f Sndcd (6 5 4 1) Model L. C. SMITH 6i BROS. TYPEWRITER CO. f'svstry W fee Ofitil SYRACUSE, N. Y.
