Tide of Imports Rising".
Figures Just available from the Department
of Commerce show a rise In Imports that Indi
cate tho world Is not altogether so fully occu
pied with righting that It cannot seek out the
bent market in which to trade, For the month
of February last the total of Imports shows
sti Increase of almoat 169,000,000 over the cor
responding month of 1915, while the eight
tionths of the fiscal yenr show so Increase of
136,000,000 over the same period In the previ
ous year. The business of the world is begin
ning to adjust Itself to war conditions, and
trading Is not so seriously hampore.l by the
conflict as It Is by lack of shipping. We con
tinue to buy from the United Kingdom In
greater quantity than from the othors; Cuba's
bill is bigger tban thnt of Canada, which comes
third in the list, with Japan, British East In
dies, Australia, Ilrazll and France filling to us
In amounts In the order named, and all with
largely Increased totals. Tbo "home market"
of the United Kingdom remains the in out at
tractive In the world, and la more than ever a
Joy to the foreign producer because of the
democratic free trade policy.
Some Water Works Companion
The Deo has more than once referred to
the exceptionally clear and comprehensive re
ports made for the Milwaukee municipal water
works plant, of which we have just received
the last one, covering the calendar year of 1915.
This report tells the whole story of the yesr'a
business without any blow or bluster and with
out any confusing concoctions about Imaginary
''savlnfcs."
Althouyb the Milwaukee water works serves
r early three times as many people as the
Omaha plant, the total "Income from opera
tion," which Is the amount tsken out of the
pockets of the people, Is only, In round num
bers, 137,000 as against flSl.000, given as
tha corresponding figure for Omaha, and the
rperatlng expenditures In Milwaukee are 283
000 as against $224,000 for ourselves. The
real nub, however, Ilea In this statement re
cording the rates charged;
The metered ruts, which remains iinetmnsed, is
i centa pnr lee cuhln feet, or S cents per 1,M KHltnns
lor water aupplli'd within Ilia city; and S onla per M
coble fent, or cents per l,W aallona fur water u'
pllnd for sotiaiimtHJon tiynd liie elty limits. Tlu nt
la n' "minimum eharse" nor "at-rvlre charss," the
consumer pyln only for aetual consumption. The
nieler must be furnished by Hi" consumer, Tha t:harK
for hydrant rental Is IS par hydrant, per year; drink,
trig troughs and buhblnrs, earh M Pr year.
With these rates, which are nominal as com
pared with Omuba, the Milwaukee water works
still earned a "net Income from all aourcesover
and above operating expenditures, depredation
and Interest," or fS 14,606.4 6, which Is almost
equal to the f 566,134. OH claimed as the "net
Income" which the Omuha plant earned wUb
rates three times as high and a tax levy pro
ducing as much as the city of Milwaukee paid
for all Us hydrant rental, street sprinkling,
sewer flushing, park, school and public building
supply combined. In the wind-up, the Milwau
kee water plant paid 1200,000 back to the city
to help reduce the tax ratej end credited 1314,-
000 to the capital account, but what It "saved"
by charging consumers only 6 cents a thousand
gullons Instead of the rate previously exacted
rndur private ownership la not slated,
The Latest Irish Uprising.
The adventure or Blr Roger Casement and
the outbreak In Dublin would be opera bouffe
were tt not tragic. Debate and JudKment alike
ou the wisdom or unwisdom of the political
ayitators who have kept a considerable propor
tion of the Irish people of the world In a stale
cf turmoil tor conturles may here be suspended.
Also will comment be withheld aa to the policy
cf the Drltlsh government, which permitted Sir
Edward Carson to arm and drill his Ulsterltes
prior to the war, and has winked at the forma
tion of the Irish volunteers since the empire
tecanie Involved In the conflict with Germany.
Thone are not mnttera of general concern. What
must be considered is the tragedy In which men
and women alike are Involved because of their
devotion to certain Ideals, Freedom of opinion,
of conscience and of belief, ought to be secured
In some better fsshlnn than by riotous demon
stration In which the brunt ot the retaliatory
blow will fall on those whose chief offense Is a
poetic attachment to a memory.
British Note on Commerce Restrictions,
The latest note from KiiKland, endeavoring
to Justify the restrictions placed on neutral
commerce under tha operations of the order-in1
toumil Is a fine example of special pleading.
It does not touch on the meat of the matter, but
seeks to Justify what the allies have done by
culling stiention to Germany's course, The
Invasion of Belgium by Germany can hardly
be ennaidered a good rvssun for shutting oft
the malls betaeen the United States and Hol
land, or for holding up traffic between any two
neutral porta, No reanonabU Interpretation of
International law can make the Prltlsh Imperial
council thti arbiter of woild traffic. None, can

Interpreting the Returns
Croas (orrenla la .Nebraska.
New York World: Nearly complete returns from
the Nehrsska primary election ahow that William
Jennings Bryan wUI not be one of tha delog-atcs at
large to the democratic convention, end that Hmnntor
Hltehcoek, who was vigorously attacked by Bryan
throughout the stata, will have the approval of tha
party for re-election. The republicans have divided
their presidential preference among Henry Ford, Sena
tor Cummins and Justlca Hushes, with Cummins and
Ford close together In the lead and Hughes making
a strong showing In third place.
Opinions as to tha meaning of tha election as
expressed In many papers throughout the country
differ with tha convictions, prejudices and political
affiliations of the various papers. Those who do not
Ilka Mr, Bryan are sura that he Is once more polit
ically dead and will stay dead, this tlmi, The Hughes
men think tha Nebraska delegation will be for him
finally, The peace men prove, that the country Is
with them by pointing to Mr. Ford's ahowlng, and
th war men are equally confident that the defeat of
Mr. Bryan sustains their position.
Two elements that may have Influenced a good
nmny votes In Nebraska have been generally Ignored.
Beyond question, there are many demoerata In this
country whnwe first thought In considering national
issues Is that I'reaiileut Wilson has ben right from
first lo Isst, and that It is the duty of domocrats to
support him. A vigorous, though unjuat campaign
wns mado In Nebraska to convince the voters that a
vole for Mr, Bryan would amount to a vote against
the administration, and It was posslbla to bau.k this
poaiUno with reasons drawn from Mr. Bryan's con
duct when ha resigned from the cabinet and after
ward. On the other hand, Senator Hitchcock voted
to table the Ooie resolution and has shown, no dis
position lo break with the administration since ths
currency question was settled,
A further reason for Mr. Bryan's poor showing
may have been his earnest advocacy of prohibition.
He is about rrsdy lo make the democratic party a
prohibition party If ha can, and there ax a great
msny democrats who are not ready to go with htm
nn that mission. This would tend to offset any
strength ha may have had as a peace advocate, while
Henry Ford, who represents absolutely nothing bt.t
the Idea of extreme pacifism, gave the anti-prohibition
pacifist a good chance to axpreas hlmsalf.
So "find Bless Yea" There.
Hprlngfleld Republican: Taking a serious view of
I ho defeat of Mr, Bryun In the Nebraska primaries,
where he wsa a candidate for delegate-at-Urg to the
democratic national convention, It must be said that
Nebraska democrats appear to have passed Judgment
upon Mr, Bryan's resignation from the cabinet. It
was their first opportunity since laat June to express
Iheinselvr on tho question of Mr. Bryan's perform
ance, and thora waa no "God bless you" In their
verdict.
Where Were tba Amrrlranaf
New York Times: The republican explanation of
the vole for Henry ford In the Nebraska republican
primaries Is that Oerman-Amnrlcans, mostly republi
cans In Nebraska, boosted the car of peace. Senator
Cummins, anibargolst, approver of the Gore resolution,
surrenderer of American rights, kootooer to tho Ger.
man vote, Is a little ahead of Mr. Fonj at present, but
the pslr have run about neck and neck. If the German-Americans
voted for Ford, who voted for Cum.
mlns? Where are the republican Americana, If any
there he? Are they the men who voted in the dark
for Hughes, whoso opinions about foreign policy
nobody knows? t'ummlns, Ford, flherman, J a Kol
lette; spirited and vigorous statesmen these!
Tba Flabt In Nebraska.
Ht. Louis Ulot-Democrs.t: There were many demo
cratic complications in the fight In Nebraska. Bryan
was a pronounced dry, but he could not make that
tho Issue, lie favored for national committeeman
James C, liahlman, the wet mayor of Omaha, sgalnat
Arthur V. Mullen, author of the daylight aaloon law.
rahlman, In an advertisement, called hlmaelf a wet
who was "fair to the drys" and declared for both
Bryan and Hitchcock. Dahlman waa defeated. Hitch
cock was crltclsad by Dunn for embarasalng the ad
ministration at critical times, hut the senator declared
that he had upheld the administration In general. He
Included In his formal advertisement his authorship
of a bill to prohibit exportation of arms and munitions
and his opposition to "an excesaive standing army."
All candidates favored Wilson's renomlnallon. Bryan
was called a disturber and his support of his brother
raised the "family" Issue. The democratic Issues we;e
so Involved aa to mako the results of little national
Interest, except that no candidate was for more than
"moderate preparedness."
Indifference to preparednesa characterlxed the re
publican voter. The namea of three candidate for
president were printed on the ballot, Cummins, Ford
and Kstabrook. The latter formerly lived In Nebraska
and la an ardent advocate of preparedness. He got
the lowest vote, but a fraction of that received by
Hughes, whose name had to be written on the ballot.
The failure or anybody to write the name of Koosovelt
velt on tho bullut may have some significance, Bui
more remarkable Is the vote for Ford, who waa not
a candidate and who anked the voters to refrain from
supporting lilm. lie led the republican ticket in early
returns and his complete vote will probably run close
to that of Cummins, an avowed candidate, with many
political friends working In his behalf. No auch ex.
plana! Irm as was offered for the Ford vote In Michi
gan can apply to Nehrsska. The Nebrukans were
apparently voting their opposition lo war or to larsi
preparations against war.

Baker's Not First Legal Ilanalng.
OMAHA. April, 2.-To the Editor of
The Bee: The artlele In The Bee on
Thomaa Meldrum was Incorrect In cer
tain places about the hanging of Baker.
Baker waa not the first man legally him
In Douglas county. A man named Tator
waa hung for the murder of a man namud
Neff, who was killed near isulphur Sprln
In the early 60s.
The gallows on which Baker waa hung
was not erected on the high school
grounds (then the capltol grounds), but
was on the land on the east of tbo little
creek that ran north, about Thirty-first
street, and tn the vicinity of Capitol ave
nue, I did not soe the manglng of Baker
fstich spectacles have no attraction for
me), but I waa coming Into town that day
from my farm, and from the road near
the head of ."t. Mary's avenue I could see
the crowd gathered to see the hanging.
Hlgglns was not In the employ of the
"single manufacturing plant in Omaha,"
but was bookkeeper for Will It. King ft
Co., and waa sleeping In the building on
the southeast corner of Twelfth and Far
nnm streets, owned and occupl'd by them
with wholesale groceries. Will It. King"
& Co. were the lineal ancestors of the
present wholesale grocery company of
MoCord, Brady A Co.
Baker killed Hlgglns, set the place on
fire and shot himself through Ihe arm,
and then raised the cry of murder and
burglary In the attempt to cover his own
crime. JONATHAN EDWABDS.

THE TREE OF MY LIFE-
Edward Rowland Sill.
When 1 was yet hut a child, the gardener
Kave rue a treo.
A little, Hllm elm. tn bo sot wlirrevr-r
seemed good to tne.
What a wonderful thing It sceun-d! with
Its laie-edae leaves uncurled,
And its soan-long stein, thst should k-riw
to tho grundost tree in the world!
8o I searched all tho aardeu round, and
out over field and hilt,
But not a spot could I find that suited
mv wayward will.
I would have It howered In the grove,
In a clone and quiet vale;
I would rear it aloft on tho helnlit, to
wrestle with the gale.
Then I said, "I will rover 11s roos with
a little earth by the door,
And thiro It shall live and wait, avliile)
I search for a place once, more."
But si III I could never find It, tho place
for tnv wonderful tree,
And It waited and grew by the rioor,
while the years panned over Die;
Till suddenly, one fine day, I saw II wai
arown too tall.
And Us roots gone down too deep, lo N
ever moved at all.
Ho here It Is growing still, by the lowly
cott ago door;
Never so Kiand and tall as I dreamed l
would be of vore,
But it sheliers a tired old man In Its
sunnhlne-dapnled shade,
The children's tmtterlnn leet round HS
knotty kneea have olaved,
Pear slnalng birds In a nlorm sometimes
take refiiK" there,
And the stars through Its silent boughs
uhlne gloriously fair,
