The Ultimatum to Germany.
In any crlais Involving the honor of the na
tion, the patriotic citizenship of tbe country
may be depended upon to support the chief
executive in an assertion of our righta. This haa
been true In every past emergency and It la
truo today with reference to the ultimatum
served by President Wilson upon the German
government. He ' baa decided that we must
sever our diplomatic relation unlesi a way la
found to mako effective the assurances, repeat
edly given and as often violated, of a purpose
to respect the commerce of neutrals on the high
teas, and he haa taken an exceptional and dra
matic way of announcing bis action in person to
congress In order to fortify his position, al
though we doubt If that was necessary.
Tbe president emphasizes the fact that from
the outset of the controversy "the government
of the United Htates baa been very patient." He
might havo added that this very patience had
produced much impatience among our people,
many of whom are convinced that the sever
ance of diplomatic relations would bave ben
Justified long ago. Further patience would
appear to be a weakness rather than a virtue.
It Is still possible, of course, tbat the Ger
man government may realize the seriousness of
the situation and seek to avoid the threatened
break by a real compliance with our demands.
Withdrawal of our ambassador, it must be re
membered, does not mean war, but It will mean
the strained relationship of undisguised un
friendliness, With the issue thus sharply
drawn, the president has no alternative but to
follow words with deeds unless a satisfactory
response is received.
The Nebraika Presidential Primary,
The returns of our Nebraska state-wide pri
mary election are still too fragmentary to per
rnlt of comment except upon the decisive presi
dential preference vote scored by Henry Ford.
Tbat tho automobile peace advocate should lead
all the rest in the mentloned-for-presldent clasa
on the republican side la wholly unexpected,
even by those who figured on him polling a
substantial vote. While the vote for Ford regis
ters the latent opposition to "preparedness," It
in unquestionably supplemented by certain ele
ments of discontent with tho administration's
foreign policy, and a I no by a labor sentiment
attracted through tbe Ford generosity to his
employes.
More remarkable and more notable, though,
than tbe Ford vote Is the wrltten-ln presidential
vote for Charles K. Hughes. .This puts him
third In the Hat despite the fact that the name
did not appear on tbe printed ballot, and he
would undoubtedly be second if credited wltb all
the ballots marked for him, but thrown out be
cause of defects In writing, or Ignored by elec
tion officers in disregard of the law requiring
them to be counted. The primary furnishes
conclusive evidence that Charles K. Hughes Is
the real choice of Nebraska republicans for
piesldent and cinches by U the election of con
ventlon delegates who have likewise announced
Hughes to be their personal preference.
Again the Bate Ball Season.
This afternoon, the Western League of Pro
fessional Rase Rail clubs, the second oldest or
ganization of tbe kind in the country, opens
it seventeenth annual playing season. Wars
may route and go, primary elections may en
gulf us In their swirl of heated politics, and
church and state may rock with tbe excitement
of passing events, but tbe public will bang over
the ticker or crowd around tbe scoreboard to
note the progress of the game, and keep track
of tbe fortunes of the favored. The home team
is always a point on which to center popular In
terest, and aa its chances brighten or bum low,
tho popular heart throbs with joy or beats wltb
flsappolntment. Omaha, a base ball eminence,
will take more than usual notice of the team
this season, for "Pa" Rourke has made an extra
effort to give us creditable, representation on
the diamond, and we all wish blm good luck
t nd a pennant.
Lesions of an Election.
The primary election, Just over all but the
counting, holds some valuable lesson, and If
Nehraxkans are as wise as they pretend to be.
the experience will lend to some reforms. This
haa nothing to do with the method of making
up the ballot, the proceaa of putting names on
or .taking them off, or anything of that sort,
l-ntll Nebraska Is ready to adopt the short bal
lot form of election, coupled with the vote at
home, preaent methods are quite as simple as
can be devised.' When It conies to counting the
vote and making up the returns, the physical
difficulties In the way make the task moat for
midable. An citslly applied, and oft-suggested,
remedy Is a provlalon In the law for counting
as the vote is cast. The ballot boxes should be
opened at intervals during the time the polln
are open, and a count of the ballots then de
tected made. One other remedy poanlble la a
double set of election offlcera, one to reeebe
and the other to count the ballots.
The actual work devolving on election
boards, etipei'lally In the city of Omaha, haa
I ecu Iremcmloualy tncreaaed of recent years
ty various reforms, introduced to aafegtitmt
i lection. It the present methods are to be re
tained, they must be supplemented by some
further provlaion tor lightening the actual

In tha early day of tha United BtAtae the preal

State dinner became frequent and other axpenaea de

SOUTH P1DE, April 19.-TO th Editor
of Tha Bee: The long, bloody and de
vastating war In Europe I Indeed a great
calamity, but since It could nut be
averted the world hould concurrently 1
to It that the terrible bloodshed haa not
been perpetrates In vain and the Indo-
nrib,Me sufferings of the people have
brought permanent relief. It la very Im
portent, therefor, that when the war la
terminated and the terrra of peace ere
concluded, to arrange the map of Europe
In uch a way that It will preclude neces
sity and even possibility of another war
like the one that tormtnta tha world
today. But there will ba no permanent
peace In Europe, however, aa long aa
there ,are nation which dam It their
privilege to opprea and dominate other
nationalities, to persecute them and In
terfar with th cour they wish to
pursue. And before the war broke out
there war several small natlonallllea In
Europe that ware thu treated by their
tronger neighbors. On of these unfor
tunate onas w Poland, and It tiondl
tlon certainly moat tragi of all,
llealdil being deprived of freedom and
Independence, Poland has been divided
In thre part and all attompt were
rna to exterminate the' race of tt peo
ple. Hut fhey failed and tne love and
loyalty of th Polish people to their
fatherland ha never been more nrdent
and sincere than It la today, whit tho
crime they committed upon that nation
wm ever-ready causa of quarrel end
became one of the main factor that
brought the present war. .
It ), therefore, of prime Importance
to all the world that thl question and
other similar ara settled Intelligently
and th only proper, Just, and Intelli
gent solution I to restore their Inde
pendence and let them build their own
future.
I-et me cite president Wilson's phrase:
"America doe not ask anything for
Itself, which It ha no fight to ask for
other."
It appllr to Poland with equal truth
fulnesa and piasilflcatlon.

Itobert louls Stevenson.
Oive me tha life I love,

Give the Jolly heavens above
And tha byway nigh me,
Bed In tha buah with star to see,
Bread I dip In tha river
There'a tha life for a man like me, '
There's the life forever.
It th blow fall soon or late,
t,et what will ba o'er me;
Give the face of the earth around.
And the road before me.
Wealth 1 ek not, hop nor love.
Nor a friend to know me;
All I aeek. the heaven above
And the road below me.
Or let autum.i fall on me
Where afield I linger,
Htlenclng th bird on tre,
Ttltlng th blue finger.
White as meal, tha froety field
Warm tha flrealde haven
Not. to autumn will I yield.
Not to winter evanf
Let th blow fall anon or lata,
Tat what will he o'er me;
Give th face of the earth around.
And the road before me,
Wealth I ask not, hope nor love,
Nor a friend to know me.
All I aak, the heaven above
And tha road below me.
