No Relief From Unfair Eates.
Omaha has been notified (rom Washington
that it is to get no relief from the unfair railroad
. .. . e -f
passenger rates that discrimiiiaie in tavor 01
Kansas City in the matter of summer tours. The
Interstate Commerce commission declines to
suspend the tariff during the hearing, which
means that Omaha will suffer through reason
of the extra charge levied against this city by the
Western Passenger association.
The answer made by the railroads to the peti
tion of the Omaha Commercial club is a splen
did example of special pleading, and of the
sophistry by which discriminations are sup
ported. It amounts to a statement that whereas,
one road running out of Chicago and connecting
with Kansas City refuses to hold up its patrons,
therefore all must meet its rates. Omaha, hav
ing no such connection, must pay the full fare,
the same as any other whistling post along the
route. The phrase, "short line rates," means
absolutely nothing, for the difference in the dis
tance between Omaha and Kansas City from
Chicago is negligible when it comes to making
up through rates.
In effect, the anwer of the railroads means
that Omaha is not considered as a basing point.
This is not the first example of such discrimina
tion against Omaha, nor will it be the last, un
less something can be done to make the Chicago-Kansas
City lines undtriand that Omaha
will defend itself.
New Note to Great Britain.
While the text of the newest note to Great
Britain is not yet available, the outline given of
the United Slates' position conforms fairly to
that already announced. The issue is clear. It
deals with the effort of Great Britain lo sup
plant established rule of ocean traffic and the
recognized right of blockade by "order in coun
cil," which revive Ihc "paper blockade" theory
and finally rest on naval superiority. Thi or
der in council, whit Ii is intended to supersede the
law of blockade, is susceptible of only one inter
pretation, and that is England' will. Under its
administration, all sea traffic is subject to inter-
cepliou, vessels passing between neutral ports
being held up the same as those seeking entry to
belligerent countries, oif the presumptive con
sideration of ultimate destination. Through the
service of its navy, Great Britain has been able
to enforce its order in council moat effectively.
But the British pretense of consideration for
neutral is more than nullified by actual experi
ence. Interference with the letter mail passing
between neutrals goes far beyond the right to
visit and search. Private correspondence be
tween neutrals i not conceivable at contraband.
Official communications of the United States
have been intercepted and much annoyance lias
been occasioned to all neutrals by the prosecu
tion of the world-wide blockade under the guise
of a benevolent purpose to permit the process
of commerce without declaring the condition
demanded by the law of blockade.
The effort to stretch the law in the Springbok
and Bermuda case to justify present procedure
show a dispoition on part of the British gov
ernment to finally rely on its navy, invoking in
the meantime the Bryan treaty. The United
State ha no intent to deprive either of the bel
ligerent of any advantage tpringing from supe
riority of armament or force available, but it will
insist that the war be conducted o that neutral
nation may preserve peaceful communication
with each other regardless of the course of the
conflict.
A Semi-Centennial Monument for Omaha.
Responding to uggetion by representatives
of variou patriotic ocietie, the city council
has indicated it readiness to take the first step
toward the erection of a municipal monument.
Thi monument is to be in honor of the soldiers,
tailor and pioneer and in commemoration of
the fiftieth anniversary of Nebraska statehood,
which it about to be celebrated. The authority
by which the council acta is to be found in the
law patted at the instigation of the Grand Army
of the Republic permitting a special tax levy,
not to exceed' l mill in any one year, to raise the
necessary fund for this purpose for any incor
porated city or town that cares to take advan
tage of it.
It i to be hoped this laudable project will
be carried through to completion in a manner
wholly creditable to Omaha. Unfortunately the
inhabitant of the newer cities. uch as ours,
with o much construction work to do, take time
to reach the point where' they appreciate the
value of art and sculpture either as a contribu
tion to civic beauty or as an inspiration to pa
triotism and community pride, and still longer
till they feel able to indulge it. Too little em
phasis, also, is placed upon the idea of perma
nence and the opportunity these great historic
celebrations gr to point their lesson to those
who are to come later as well as to those
who hear the memorial addresses and witness
the passing pageant
It goes without saying that if Omaha under
take to build this monument, it must see to it
that no botchwork it toleiated and that no per
tonal interest or locality contention is allowed
to intei fere with its artistic setting and etTevt.

Freaks of Hired Primary.
'OVford, Neb., .May !. To the Ldltor
of The Hee; The Nebraska primary for
1316 has passed Into history and it utter
failure as an intelligent method of nomi
nating candidate la a matter of record.
Inaugurated as a reform measure to
cure evlla of our convention system,
caused hy the people neglecting their
duty, the primary ha rather proved an
Intonsifler of those evils and destructive
of representative government, It I
proving an expensive affair for the tax
payers and a money-wasting system for
aspirants to office. It has In no way
improved the class ef our officeholder,
but rather haa become the promoter of
freak candidate and freak platform.
Th primary ha all but disfranchised
the farmer from having a voice in tha
selection of candidate. It place a pre
mium on the man of wealth or he .who
already has a grip on the office and
penalizes the thoroughly competent men
who desire office, but are not possessed
of money or a press bureau. It has
made obsolete the doctrine that the office
should seek the man and Impossible for
the party to draft its best material for
office.
Recently our reformers. Imping to cur
tall ome of the expense, Inveigled the
people to bunch county, state and na
tional eleotlons and now witnessing the
fruits of that move they risht-about-face
and Instead of the people should rule
slogan, they tell us that the people hav
not the time, the Inclination or tho abil
ity to nominate their candidates direct
through the primary and advise that we
must adopt the short ballot. Are the
people of Nebraska ready to accept this
second great humbug, which is a twin
sister to the primary? Tho short ballot
divested of all subterfuge simply means
centralised government. It means tho
goln back to the policies of Alexander
Hamilton, not only to delegate the nomi
nating of their county and state officers,
but their election as well. Notwithstand
ing tho expensive primary, eacji political
party has to go to the expense of hold
ing precinct, county and state conven
tions to elect a platform. Such a con
vention, after the candidates are nomir
natod, could be nothing but a farce, and
if the republicans use unseasoned or wet
planks and the democrats the best sea
soned snd dry plank In building their
respective platforms, by what primary
rule will those parties be enabled to
swap candidate for governor?
