New Farm of Contraband.
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. In, hlctt would come Into play In the event
thst Oinsha goes into the lishiinx business,
Atlils from his professional shlliiy, which hsa
,rn recognised by membership in the American
ftcciety of Civil Engineers, hla blah standing
as a bualneaa man and dependable cltlieo Is st
tested by all who have been In contact with aim,

(Jcrdea snd myself for using our Influ

doe from a town where. I hvo lived for
twenty-one yer. hi a county that ha
been my home for thirty-one y-itrr, ami
having never voted outside of Kails 'H
j for that length of time, I 'feci that a
shoit reply to Ihl la due the people ss
i to my acilvltles at the recent, rl'ctbui
In falls City,
I was In Kails City the dy of election
and voted, f was In th vicinity of Fall
city for sever.) day, most of my
Interest ar III Rlchardnon county snd
Fall City, nd I pay something like
It.lW per year In taxes. Th llm I wss In
th county ws given to my farm snd
tn a slock sale in Kanesa snd not for
political purpose snd In not a slngla
Instance did I aollclt a vote for 01
agalnat tha wet and dry proposition. 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.
Mr. Oerdes, , man I have known for
thirty-on year, now a member of lb
!ord of Control, ha lived In Blcbard
gon county for flfty-thre years, baa
voted thirty-eight ya,ra snd never voted
In sny other plw, II Is a heavy tax
payer nd a men who truth and ver
acity ha never been questioned that 1
hv heard, and he tells me that he never
oll'ited a vote for any candldat or upon
th wet and dry proposition. 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

THE FINISH IS
WHAT COUNTS
Endurance is as important in
a typewriter as in an athlete.
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.
