Omaha is getting some advertising these days of a kind most gratefully appreciated by those who have become acquainted with the source and the method. The New York milk committee, for example, an organiiation of philanthropic workers keeping close watch over the infant mortality of the country, in a recent report states that Omaha is the best city in the country for a baby, giving him a far better chance to live than any other. The bady's chance of living to be 1 year old is four times better in Omaha than in many other of the cities of the country. One of the Rocke feller Foundation investigators, after visiting Omaha and inspecting some of its institutions, likewise praises them highly for efficiency and results. This is publicity that is valuable, coming from authoritative sources, and therefore having great weight. Not all of Omaha's own people know the facts these reports set forth, bait they are only a part of the reasons Omaha has for holding up its head among the cities of the country. Clocks and the War Game. Great Britain will set the "clock ahead," which means that for the time at least noon will come at 1 o'clock instead of M. Just what is to be gained, aside from the fooling of people into thinking they are gaining on time, doesn't appear. The earth will still rotate on its axis without preemptible difference in its speed, the sun will rise in the east and set in the west just as it has "since first the flight of years began," and nothing in nature will respond to the new rule of recording time. If our Fnglish friends are in the notion of overtaking their German ad versaries in the matter of warlike efficiency, we would suggest that (be clock be abandoned alto gether, that no limit be put upon the activity of the people, save such as nature fixes, and that arrangement speedily be made for carrying on the campaign as a continuous undertaking. Clocks have only one possible function in war, and that is to secure synchronous action of commanders. Lake Mohonk Peace Platform. The Ijike Mohonk peace conference has adopted a platform which broadly endorses The Hague conference and asks for a continuation of its work. It is a prudent expression of conserva tive belief that the court established at The Hague la of service, and that its decisions have heen helpful as between the nations. Views of advocates of methods for compelling peace find no place in the platform, although the extremists were given full hearing at the sessions. In this regard the conference is following a precedent long ago laid down, that of accepting human ex perience as a safe guide, rather than human aspi rations. In effert the document recognizes that war is not speedily to disappear, but will remain a con trolling factor in human affairs, as it has been for many generations, It is possible to live without war, but efforts to bring about that end, and to substitute peaceable adjustment of international affairs must undergo the slow process of hu manity's progress. The platform also suggests extension of the jurisdiction of the supreme court of the United States to cover cases involving treaty rights of aliens. Theoretically, this is desirable, but prac tically it is open to objection. It would place too much work on an already heavily taxed court. If the existing machinery of law and jus tice is insufficient, a special tribunal might be set up, with clearly defined jurisdiction, and the right of review be reserved to the supreme court. Such a tribunal could with becoming celerity handle matters that now become exasperating because of vexatious delays, 'and thus avoid much cause for diplomatic friction. The Lake Mohonk conference has helped greatly this time by keeping close to shore.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo is home from his trip to Buenos Ayres and other South American centers, and brings with him word that the South American countries are eager for closer trade relations with the L'nited States. In this he is but repeating the experience of pre decessors in the enterprise. Mr. McAdoo re ports that the greatest need jtiixt novi is a fleet of merchant ves.ael under the American flag to tarry the product that are to be interchanged between the two countries. He also renews the New York to Buenos Ayres railroad project. The cold facts are that the Tinted States has not had the trade of South America be cause Germany, Kugland and France have gone about getting it on a more eflcttivc baxis than ue have adopted.

IT IS NOT due to any natural reticence or lack of opinions on the part of Justice Charles E. Hughes, but to his position on the supreme court, that everyone is today repeating without credit the words applied to him in 3908 by Hamilton Holt, managing editor of the In dependent. In that year Mr. .Holt wrote of Hughe in the following word?, equally appli cable in the year 1916; "All over the country people are watching his career with eagerness and hope, and many of them have come to the conclusion that he is worthy of the presidency. But although there is general confidence in his ability and honexty, comparatively little is known of his Political views, especially on national issues." Justice Hughes has nevertheless expressed himself time and again upon national issues, and there is not a public question before the people today upon which his addresses before he be came justice of the supreme court do not throw light at to his general attitude. Hughes is a man of peace and he believes in preparedness. He believes in upholding the national honor and he objects to the old definition of honor which would force a war over every trivial issue in international relations. He believes great good may come of specific wars and he denounces war in general in un measured terms. On January 31, 1908, Hughes declared that our security rested upon devotion to peace backed by adequate defense. T he following paragraph covers practically the whole question of what he believes on that score: "We are devoted to the interests of peace and we cherish no policy of aggression. The rnainlenance of our ideals is our surest protec tion, It is our constant aim to live in friendship with all nations and to realize the aims of a free government secure from the interruptions of strife and the wastes of war. It Is entirely con sistent with these aims, 'and it is our duty to make adequate provision for our defense and to maintain the efficiency of our army and navy. And this I favor." In the same address, delivered before the Re publican club of the city of New York, he de clared himself for a protective tariff based upon "the difference In the cost of production here and abroad," but not making thfs policy a cover for exorbitant rates or for obtaining special privi leges from the government which are not based upon considerations of the general welfare," Justice Hughes believes in the hyphenated citizen who has dropped his hyphen or made it a sign of union, not of separation. At the dedi cation of the Siegel monument tn 1907, lie said: "This is our common country. Whatever the abode of our ancestors, this is our home, and will be the home of our children, and in our love for pur institutions and In our desire to main tain the standards of civic conduct which are essential to their perpetuity, we recognize no difference in race or creed we stand united, a contented poople rejoicing in the privileges and determined to meet the responsibilities of Ameri can citizenship." In the same year, 1907, he said: "The necessity of war as a last defense of liberty and honor is admitted only to be de precated, and in the desire to prevent armed strife there is almost complete unanimity." So far as his present sentiments can be judged by past utterances, Justice Hughes stands primarily for peace. He has said: "The time is sure to come when war will be unthinkable." There is nothing in hia record to give comfort to the jingo or the militarist. On the other band, Hughes does stand for adequate national defense, for strength in the army and Jiavy, for a national honor which he says "has been upheld by the republican party," and it is evident that he ia not a peace at any price individual. The Register has been at some pains to seek the views of Justice Hughes upon matters now before the nation, as they are to be found in his various public addresses, and the record is sufficiently complete to dispel a good deal of the uncertainty about the silent candidate for president.

To the Kditor of the Bee Nebraska is known as the "Tree Planters' States," thanks to the new, nation wide celebration of Arbor day. In Nebraska, the day observed, being the birthday of the originator of the idea, Hon. J. Sterling Morton, April 22. Would not orie of the Best -ways to celebrate our semi-centennial next year be to establish a chain of parks throughout Nebraska, selected for natural and historical reasons, as a permanent memorial? Northwest Nebraska has many plates, that would fill both require ments, one being Sheridan Gates, in northwest part of Sheridan county. The old settlers of this county .hope to place a marker there in September of this year, that being the fortieth anniversary of the signing of the treaty, by Chief Spotted Tail for the Brule Sioux, gixing this county to the whiles. They also intend to put a marker at Red Cloud agency, where Red Cloud, chief of the Ogallala Sioux signed the aame treaty. This is in Oawcs county, but being within the limits of the Fort Robinson reserva tion, belongs to the United States. , F. M. B. O'LINN, Harkera of ( onatltutlonal Conranlloo.
