If war with Mexico comet, tht loyal aupport of the president by every patriotic American cltl- sea may be depended on. That doea not, how ever, preclude any free American citig en from dis agreeing with the pretldent in hia Mexican policy which will have brought on the war.

' Remember that belated June raina are jutt at good for drouth prevention at the on-time spring shower, Why futt about the title to that prohibition amendment anvwav? It will he "km" n, "ha" that will be voted at the polls. ' If this Mexican debacle does not bring Wil liam Randolph Hearst back to the aupport of President; Wilton, that feature of the case it hopeless. i ' If dandelion growing can be mad a tuccett ful industry, at we are now told, Omaha must be the particular spot selected by nature for Its special development and crowning achievement If would be indeed surprising if the sequence of current events made Americans in Mexico more popular with the natives. And they have not been any too popular 'there for some time past. " The proposal to transform the city commission into a charter convention overlooks the require ments of the conttitution governing home-made state charters. Whenever it is decided to try again, for a home rule charter, the' way to do it is plain and eaty. ' Without detign or thought of achieving fame a St Louit elevator boy fathioned a model letter for the Navy league's correspondence with the secretary of the navy, Addretting Jotephut Dan iels, who hesitated at the door of a crowded car, the youngster shouted: "Come on I Do some thing! It's up to you I" - The start in their courses clearly point to re publican victory. Hoboken's famous attrologer aearched the signs in the heavens and finds Hughes' stars rising and Wilson's stars setting. This agrees with the signs on th surface, and leaves the democrats with fore of habit only as. an excute for a campaign, ' The various department of our municipal gov ernment, including the school district and th water district, are preparing their demands to be met by next year'a tax levy. It would be well for somebody representing the taxpayers to check up a little in advance if we are to avoid repetition of this year's sky-high tax rate. A woman lawyer in Philadelphia is charged "j w,v.vivim wiwiiivu win, viuieiing pro fetsional ethics and it tubject to disbarment pro ceeding! on tecret charget.

Unlets the unexpected happens, cutting under the standard split of fifty-fifty spells her legal finish, Come what may the Antelope state is ready for any emergency. The addition of three war riors to the roster of Nebraska colonels definitely places the state in the forefront of preparedness, confident and conscious of its might and ripe for the occasion when, in the words of Keynoter Glynn, "reason primes the rifle, honor,drawa the tword and justice breathes a blessing on the stan dards they uphold." . Thirty Years Ago This Day in Omaha CweHse frees Bat Flies Rev. T. C. Hall preached an interesting ser mon to the eighteen members of the High school graduating class. S. S.

Judge John I. Redick, who has practiced law in Omaha for over twenty-five years, has moved to California and taken with him all of his family except bis son, William A. Redick.

Brave Words, Will Seeds Follow t Secretary Lansing has forwarded to Senor Carranza, "first chief" and de facto head of the Mexican government, a declaration of intent on part of thit government that jutt falls short of being a flat declaration of war. It tkillfully leavet to the Mexican leadert a choice of declaring war on the United States or unquestioning compliance with our wishes. In all human probability, it will be met with much the same treatment at has been accorded to other communication! tent from Washington to the various headquarters of the migratory governments of Mexico during the last three yeart. The only letters from Washington treasured in Mexico were those thanking Vill for hit "tervicet to humanity," and notifying Car. ranza that to him had been extended recognition withheld from othert quite at worthy. , More Mexican side-stepping will bring the question squarely back to the White Houte. Are the brave wordt to be tupported by deedt, or "manana" to be substituted for "watchful wait ing?" Organise Hughes and Fairbankt Clubs. The editor of The Bee is in receipt of a letter from a prominent Nebraska republican residing in the western part of the state, in which, among other things, he sayt: "I am for auick organization of Huarhea and Fairbankt clubt. We must have a rallying point for votert, and particularly the young voters ana tne new voters. Have you any organization blanks? If to, tend me tome." The suggestion it timely and to the point. The nomination of Hughet and Fairbankt hat been enthusiastically received bv republicans everv where! and nowhere more so than in Nebraska, and all elements of the party are ready to take hold for a winning campaign. There should be a Hughes and Fairbanks club organized without delay in every live town in the state. It should be organized on broad lines to take in every one willing to enlist under the Hughes and Fairbanks banner, and it should sig nalize the complete reunion of the regulart and progressives. No intricate constitution and by-lawt are needed; we submit the following at a simple plan: 1. The name of thit organization shall be The Hughet and Fairbankt Club. 2. All qualified votert of are eligible to membership upon tigning the roll and pledging their active tupport to Hughet and Fairbankt. 3. The officer! of the club shall consist of presi dent, vice president, tecretary and treasurer, who, together with five members, shall con stitute the executive committee in full charge of all work of the club in the campaign. 4. Expentet of the club shall be. met by volun tary contribution. "' Hurrah for Hughet and Fairbanks! Let Ne. braska republicans get busy and there will be no question about Nebraska's 1916 electoral vote be ing registered in the republican column. Don't Huddle the Amendment Attorney General Reed it in considerable tra vail as to the exact wording of the ballot on which win appear the initiated amendment that is to provide for state-wide prohibition. Just at the moment a three-cornered argument is in prog ress. The prohibitionists ask for one form of wording, the antis for another, and the attorney general ia contending for a third. . What the voters will want is a ballot that shows on its face what is being voted on. It is well understood that State-wide prohibition ia aimed at: tn annrnaeh it by subterfuge it unworthy, while to' defeat it hv a technicality it equally unworthy. The matter should be put to the votert squarely on itt meritt, and let the decision stand at an honest enreaeinn of sentiment. To clutter up the ballot with clauses the meaning of which is to be determined later by court action, is not to comply with the spirit of tne initiative law, which means, if it means any thing, that istuet mutt be presented to nlainlv that "he that runt may read," and reading, under, stand. The simplest form possible it the best: if jutt the phrate, "prohibition amendment," would comply with the law, it would be the better form tor tne oauot. Wake Up, Governor Morehead! Governor Morehead ahould wake up to the fact that hit adminittration it being scandalized by the high-handed operations of his man in charge of the food and oil inspection department endeavoring to perpetuate himtelf in hit fat office. Thit political inspector it grossly .misusing hit authority to force tradesmen and other interests subject to his official supervision to sign up a petition for a constitutional amendment to fortify himself in a six-year job with autocratic powers. The shamelestness of the proceeding is properly denounced by the Platte Center Signal, which ia a good democratic paper of which Chris Gruen- ther is editor, as follows: Clarence E. Harman. the state food and oil inspector, is using his entire force of deputies (at the expense of the ttate) to circulate peti tions for submission of a constitutional amend ment which, if it carries, will leave Mr. Harman in office for the next six veart. The petitions are given by the deputies to grocers, druggists, creamery people, oil and gasoline dealers, with the request that they be promptly circulated and signatures secured. These business people seem to comply promptly with the selfish po litical request of Commissioner Harman. Their business is subject to inspection by Harman's department, and the reason for the speedy and effective circulation of the Harman petition is obvious. The Signal regards this aa the most cunning and shsmeful piece of coercion ever practiced by a public servant in Nebraska, and it is being practiced under heavy expense with ' the money of the people. When rood Com missioner Harman began the publication of his Food Journal," and filled it with the advertise ments of big food producing concerns which are under his inspection, we deemed that of doubt ful propriety ,and this later misuse of a public trust for purely personal gain calls for a halt by Governor Morehead on this highly improper method employed by Commissioner Harman to retain himself in othce. This performance by Food Commissioner Har man would be on a par with an attempt by the secretary of the Banking board, for example, to compel the banks subject to examination under is direction to make him a life-tenure bank com missioner by constitutional amendment, or by the insurance commissioner to force insurance companies and their agents to do the tame for The thing for Governor Morehead to do is to put a stop to further misconduct on the part of is food commissioner by separating him forth with from his job, which separation would at once make him lose all interest in hit proposed eonttitutional amendment' . - Stars All Set for Hughes - New York Poet TNASMUCH at Leo. the popular sien of th X equally popular odiac, wat about to get up on hit hind feet at 12 a. m.( meaning high noon) on Friday, April 11, 1862, and the well-known tun was potted in the Tenth Mansion of th Heavens, which is the Zodiacal sien of Aries am the home of the popular planet Mart, it is all settled that Charles E.

Pack up the campaign banners and speeches and the lithographs, and close up tne capaign headquarters, and let the secretary cast a single ballot so that the rest of us can take election day off. Prof. Gustave Meyer of noooxen, w. J., American Scientific Astrologer, has been star-gazing again and it's all over but the shouting. He can predict almost anything, Prof. Meyer can. it woman t oe possiple to sit down and tell everytning that s happened after lie predicted would, but it may be noted in passing that it was Mever who foretold the coming of cold weather ann snow last winter, and the warm days and thunder showers this summer, and in ever so many other ways established his claim to being absolutely right on a lot of important questions oi tne aay. Will President Wilson's latest military move make the Mexicans any more friendlv or anv less tuspiciout of American designs upon them? That is another question which will have to answer itself. Nestled among hit charts and astrological iiupcuiincnia in tne parior ot ins noDoken od tervatory today, the American scientific astro loger, consented to relieve the suspense that hat existed in certain political quarters ever since nominating day in Chicago. For days and . oic nu uccn uciving into nis arcnives to establish the following indisputable facts: That Charlet E. Hughes first taw the light of day at Glent Falls, N. Y., Friday, April 11, 1862, a. m. (meaning high noon); that Theodore Kooseveit was born in New York City, Wed nesday, October 27, 1858, at .11:45 a. m.; and tnat WOOdrOW Wilson was hnrn at Staimtnn Vi Sunday. December 28. 1856. at 11:35 a. m. "1 find," mused the professor, "that the best of the three nativities is that of Charles E. Hughes, as he was born with the Zodiacal sign of Leo rising, and aa the ruling planet of this tign it the Sun, hence the Sun will be his ruling planet through life at the Sum was posted in the Tenth Mansion of the Heaven nr far above the earth, or on the Meridian, this signifies mat ne was oorn to rise in life far above his station as birth, or from the hnttnm in h in of the ladder of honor, success, and fame." "And as the Sun was posted in the Zodiacal sign of Aries, which is the home of the planet Mars, hence Mr. Hughes will always be inspired uy me most nonoraDie just, ana upright mo tives, and will possess an intense and patriotic pun, ana wm oe quite nrm out gentle m every thing he ever says or does and can make himself leit witnout saying a word, and wh e he will create many secret and public enemies through his keen sense of honor, right, and justice, and al ways standing for what is fair, right, and just, he will make more friends than enemies and his enemies will only enhance his presence by their vile and low methods of attack, and he wilt fre quently be elected to posts of great honor al ternately through life, if not re-elected president wi me umicu states lour years hence. The sentence was cut short in order tn n,; the grat astrologer to get up and and close the window. After scanning a few books, ' he re sumed : "Charles E.

Law Honors Heroes Ntw York World 1 " When Roger waters. workman em ployed by a building foundation company, went to the reteue of an employe of an other company who wai buried In a cave-in, he- voluntarily rifked hl lift and wu killed. He did not wait for order. Nothing in his contract required falm to try to save the other man. He was brave and generous by Instinct, and he acted from a natural sense of duty to his fellows. And he lost bis life. In upholding the award made by the Workmen's Compensation commission for Waters' death the court of appeals took the just and reasonable view. Waters did what every employer in the circumstances would look for his men to do. The emer gency prompted him to render aid in a way that a self respecting employer should praise and gladly reward, not eondemn out of selflflh regard for his own pocket. There is a growing disposition on the part of the courts to be more humane in their interpretation of laws for the protec tion of workmen. In former days it would have been sufficient to prove that Waters did not come to his death through the negli gence of his employer. It was actually contended by the company that employed him and the insurance company which car ried the insurance that his fatal injuries did not result from his employment. On that theory it would be necessary to look for cowardice, not heroism or self sacrifice. from workmen facing danger, because their employers demanded It. The court of appeals makes short work of that supposition. "It is inconceivable that any employer should expect or direct his employes to stand still while the life of a fellow workman a few feet away was im perilled. It takes account of human ture. It recognizes the moral responsibili ties assumed by men working side by side; it justifies them and holds them up to em- ployers who seek to evade the law as ad mirable and praiseworthy.

A Plain Statement of Fact Any reliable merchant will now tell you, if you will ask him, that right now wholesale market prices are that a steady rise is to continue for some time.
