Let All the People Know.
President Wilson frankly stated Ms case
sgalnst Germany so far as tho submarine con
troversy Is concerned. Ho therein laid down
certain basic principles to which assent Is gen
erally given. However, further disclosures in
connection with tho operation of the Depart
ment of Justice suggest tbat the president faM
not Included all tho grounds for his decision in
bis communication with his conntrymcn that
he baa not taken the public entirely Into his
confidence. Veiled hints come from Washing
ton aa tnysterlona visits are exchanged between
State and Justice department heads, of quiet
conference at the White House, and with tb
activity of the agent of the government In va
rious center of Industry w get suggestion of
a secret that is being kept closely guarded.
If there be other reason for a rnptura of
relation with Oermany than Is contained In the
subsea controversy, It should be made known.
The American people are willing to confidently
follow their president In his efforta to uphold
tbe honor and dignity of their country and to
maintain the efficiency of It government,
everywhere on earth, but when It comes to a
question of war or even a diplomatic; rupture
with another nation, they should snow all the
fact.
What, f anything, of vital moment Is the
president holding back that haa to do with our
telatlon with Germany?
On the Planting of Treei.
Thl I Arbor day in Nebraska, the date
nelected to commemorate the nam of the man
whose example and precept made the day pos
sible, Julius Sterling , Morton. Ills motto,
"Plant Trees," ba meant much to Nebraska in
tho past, and in reason should mean much more
to H In the future. Not alone for beautlflca
tlon are trea planted. Their utility Is worthy
consideration, and Is coming to be recognized as
a determining factor In the selection of species.
Porestratlon in Nebraska, is getting more care
ful attention, to tha end that useful trees are
given preference over those tbat merely grow
rapidly, '
The time will yet come when tbe sugges
tion of Tbe Dee, many time renewed, will be
heeded, and tha waste place of th state will
be made to produce a crop of timber as the fer
tile soil now prodncee grain, The possibilities
of the sandhill and arid spot have been well
established by extensive experimentation un
der the direction of tbe federal government,
and It is positively known that tree can be
grown where now the ground 1 bare. It only
wait the proper application of thl knowledge,
and the denuded Pine Ridge will again become
a forest, the sandhills will be covered with pine
and other profitable conifer, while other parts
of the state rTow unproductive may be brought
Into service, The value of this plan of forestra
tlon to the stock raising Industry as well as to
tbe general Interests of thtale scarcely needs
argument.
Arbor Day in Nebraska has brought its re
imlte Id beautiful bit of woodland that dock
the prairie of tbe state, but it algnlflcance Is
cot realized yet, nor will It be until Nebraskans
enter more fully. Into tbe business of rltns
trees,
Killing Bryan Off Affain.
To republican who have stood the periodic
jibe and Jest About killing off Bryan every
time he ha been defeated, tbe spectacle of our
democratic friend glouting over having killed
him off once more Is as amusing as It '. edify
ing. We Interned Mr. Bryan In hi political
grave so many times, with these aolf-samn
democrat mocking at us and predicting his
speedy return to life and power, that to have
the table turned give the relish of novelty.
So now we have It officially certified with the
democratic sign and seal that Mr. Dryan Is
down and out, that he Is to be denied tho prlvl
h ge'of representing his home state lu tho na
tional conclave, that he has forfeited his right
to party leadership and Is undermining a demo
cratic administration while professing to sup
port it.
It is all very Interesting, as we have said,
all the more so as coming from former Pryan
worshipers and champions. Hut will he stay
t'ead? That is tho question. Speaking from
the experience of republicans who have killed
off Dryan before. It certainly Is not brash for
tit to remind these Joy riding democrat that In
I'olltlcs "things are not always whst they
sociii." and that the show Is never over until
Uir final curlaln Is rung down.

fmanti Oat of History,
MANT predant.j are arallahla t tha) raaaarchar,
proving that a saveranoa of dlplomatle rata
tlons has not always brotisht on wsr. Pari
and Chtla are today without diplomatic repraaenla-
tlon at Kantlaao and I.tma, rspetvly. A ft or the
enrccutlnn of "Tlmixtror" Maxlmtlllan, an Auatrlsn
arrhduka, at Quarataro, Mnrlco, In 1HS7, dlplomatlg
relations were hrokan by Atistrta-Hunrary, and ao
rimalned for more than thirty years. Itecently, tha
t'nltad rltatna and Mauled aavarad dlplorrlatta rals
tlons, and while the Vera Crv affair may Impair
tho vnlua of the praradant, so far aa this aovarnmant
la connnrned, oartalnly the dJaconnactton by Aren
tlna, rtrajill, Chile, and later by several European
governmonls of dlnlomaflis ratatlons with any govern
ment In Mailoo ravaal how tn soma raae the aotlon
1 simply paastva and wtthout balllooaa tendency.
Kven today, whIJa Italy and Anatrta are at war,
CJermany and Italy ara merely In a tti of "stis
ponded dlplnmatlo Interenuraa." Economic reason
have produced this srrn!ment-the dealre chiefly
on Ciermany'a part to prevent tha sequestration of
Onrmany's capital and property In Italy. N eon Dera
tion of property, however, is poaslhle avan wera a
atnto nf war to eneue s between the TTnifed SJfal
and Germany, for fha rnisalan-Amartcan treaty of
138 rerlfciilly provldea for the protection of pri
vate property In the event of war. f-Tilpa. might, how
ever, ba requisitioned, thotigh at the end of the war
tha obligation to return them to original owner
would ait t II ba alive.
CJreat Britain and Venestjela wera not In dtptomatlo
relationship for ten years after their boundary dis
pute. Nona of these Instannes rasultad In wsr,
"Htralned relations" have been In the background.
Ho would they be wera a break to coma feetwsen
the T'nlted Plates and Oermany.
Technically, the T'nlled Htatea would stlt) ba boond
to preaerva her neutrality. But, whethar neutrality
would toome thereafter "benevolent," batng thara
afler converted by circumstances" Into open partiality,
Is something which may prove tha vry deterrant
of hoatjla or unfriendly ant en the part of German
iihmarlne commanders.
To compel the United States to discard nentrallty
end make common causa with the entente nations
would then sunpend commercial relations, render
trestle Inoperative, Impair tha valu of Oarman
inveatments In the United States, and make available
reanoreea of unparalleled magnitude to tha foes of
Germany. Oermany would aurelf not eourt uch
dlaaater.
Kffeet Won Id Ha Largely Moral.
tTnquestlonably, the slgnlflranca of discontinuing
diplomatic relations would I) chiefly moral. That
would be It enduring effect. The Unltod Ktates
would be In the position ef having outlawed a great
government with whom throughout history sha had
tieaii on term of peace end amity. The fundamental
eaiieo of the withdrawal by America of her recogni
tion of the existence of a German government In the
world would bo tho latter" disregard of International
law and tha higher lew of humanity, deemed pre.
rerinialte always to International morality. Th
1'nlted Htatea would not recognise tbe Oerman o.
eminent s In eslsfenc any mors than It did tha
barbarie and Irresponsible rot of one ITuerU, or
his so-callsd government. Diplomatically their statu
would ha en a par.
At beat, I ha notion Is but an xpreaaton of dla
eatlttf action, disapprobation, a pronounced dlagust with
tbe attitude and conduct of another government. Nor
would diplomatic, relations be resumed until repara
tion and complete adjustment of pending controversies
were naaured. This would hardly be poaalble during
the pendency of the European war. After that It
might take years to reach an understanding, during all
of which time tha dlplomatle relations of Great Britain
snd Oermany might, for example, be renewed, while
America's diplomatic attitude toward Oermany re.
mftlned unchanged.
Bearlag aa PeaaV IVeajatlaf toaa.
Juat what effect th action might "have on th
making of peace In Btirope I also a question pertinent,
Preeldnnt Wilson would be sacrificing all opportunity
to play th rot of go-between In peace parley. He
doea not dare, nowever, to roneult ueh personal
allurements. Kurd a part a Itooeevelt played tn tha
Portsmouth conference might com In handy for Mr.
Wilson's politic! nrede, but It seems highly probabla
that Kurope's war will not even approach aa end
In time to permit the president's poesibl part In
ita closing scenes te react on th American electoral
this year, '
Psychological Aapeet ef Severance.
Tho on great result of th eevarano of dlplo
ruatio relations, then, would be paychologlcal. Oer.
man-Americans hitherto profeaalng sympathies with
(ierimuiy In her eonteat with other European belllg.
erenta, would find It neeeaaary for comfort of mind.
If not other tlilnsa, to be elrcumapoct tn speech and
act. It would bring aadneaa and genuln Borrow to
many. Thers are those, Indeed, who have prayed
alnccrcly from the start that they might not ba foread
to cbooae between Oermany and America, knowing
full well that lit the final emergency their adopted
country must win the preference.
Neutrals Inclined lo heeltatn ss between tha ardent
allies and tlie central powera might think they aaw
America's ronurees already made available to tha
enemies of Oermany, snd would be guided aeoordlndy.
There t no end or "moral" poeslhtlltlee.
For America, after alt, there would ba th dis
appointment in loeiiig a friend, a friend caught In
a madtieaa tinexplalnahla, a friend for whom titer
can I only the pity that goea out to a derelict. That
la why so many officiate In the t'nlled Statee gov
eminent do not liellcve a break In diplomatic relatione
will eonie. They allll rely on the recuperative gautna
of the Herman people, their nee of equity and
JiiHllce when mice the ce la presented openly,

WSCOUN, Aprtl 21,-To th Editor ef
Th tte: Let sllene b Interpreted a
equlecenc In th preent policy of
President Wilson enunciated before
congres under dat of April 1, ll, I
daalr to avail myaelf of the privilege
you courteously extend to xpr my
own heartiest dlaapproval of th same
and to enlist ao far aa I may th aotlve
upport of th many likewise minded.
That there may be no mlaapprehenalon
a to th motive actuating me, I may
state In Juirtiflcstlon of my gland that I
merely exarcla th right guaranteed
under th conatltutlon of thl staU and
of th federal government of eipreialng
myself In th lami manner ara other
on th an ma subject, though, perhaps,
without agreeing with ro thereon. Thl
being a government "by th people, of
th peopl and for th people," I take
pleasure in taking such active part In It
a my (mall sphere permit I am by no
mesns defending any nation In It present
policy In the great Kuropean war. I am,
however, moat earnestly desirous to
plead complete aloofnea on th part of
thl nation In th preeent conflict. 1 am
a firm dlabellevar of war, knowing that
war settle no great quoatlon, Time, edu
cation and general evolution of thought
and life bring about th lasting snd de
sired changes In th Uvea of nations.
War brings about chaotic condition, an
archy, hatred, economla and civil strife.
X applaud th clear and ttc,c1net Ute-
ment made by Itepubllcan Leader Mann,
which ought to be very apparent to all.
that President Wilson's policy, no mat
ter what motives actuate him, Is a very
partial on. He ran no mor expect
compllanoo from Oermany than from
England. Kranca, etc, I believe In fair
play with regard to this nation attt-
tud. Both Germany and Kngland have
given ample warning aa to what each
considers to be war area. Is it not a
simple matter for us to stay away? As
on eltisen, I say moat assuredly we
should refrain from Jeopardlalng th
peace of thl country. Th president
peak of battling for th rights of hu
manity. Since when ara w become pro
tective knlghta aa it were? Must w
fight mankind's battle. I bellev In
allowing every nation to work out It
own aalvstlon. Thl country baa nothing
to gain, hut all to lose. In entering a con
flict In Durope snd elan In Mexico,
ar meddling with sffalra that ar nons
of our concern.
Ieg1latlve or eonetttutlonal enaet
menta ahould be panned to rratrlet th
president's power to embroil the nation
In war or to make reckleaa atateinenta
that cannot b retracted without Inae of
dignity. Whatever dignity thla nation
may have loat wa aelf.aouglit by tho
prenldent snd the secretary of alate.
