Some people want to make the war carry their hobbies. Let us win the war first. Again the kaiser is doing his utmost to boost the sale of war savings stamps and Liberty bonds. To "keep the home fires burning next win ter," it is urged that the coal bins be filled this summer. Slate-making may be a popular pastime, but ; slate-smashing will be still more popular when ! our voters go to the polls. One aspirant for favor in Omaha's impending municipal primary declares that he offers himself as "a candidate with a clear conscience." That's a new variety. Y Inquisitor Hcncy is not personally visiting th stock yards in the different cities in which he it holding his investigations, but he manages just the same to stir' up the animals in quite lively fashion., It's dollars to doughnuts that Senator Hitch cock would not care to depend upon his fellow democrat, Lieutenant Governor Howard, tortile out of order a resolution of censure on his pro German activities. One noteworthy fact in connection with the German military machine is that it places no higher value on the life of a German soldier than on any other. Human life means nothing only those who Survive will have the greater share to enjoy. Arc you for or against the repeal of the Mockett law that makes compulsory the teaching of German "kultur" to children in the grammar schools of Nebraska? The answer to this ques tion, while not conclusive, is one fair test of pro-Germanism. i Suppose the pending prohibition amendment ' to the federal constitution were an amendment to ! repeal national prohibition and it wa proposed to ratify it in a special session convened by proc Llamation that did not embrace that subject for legislative action. What then? HINDENBURG'S SUPREME EFFORT. Jlindenburg seemingly has loosed his utmost power in a supreme effort to make good his boast that he would be in Paris on April 1. At any rate, he has directed his drive from the nearest point to Paris on his line. Such success as he has met has been at a price the Allies were unwilling to pay for the privilege of a drive through the Ger man line. These are the salients of what is de veloping into the most stupendous spectacle erf a war that is a succession of awe-inspiring efforts. Details of the engagement are not at hand, so that comment must be largely conjectural. It is evident, however, that no such sweep as that of August, 1914, is likely; nor will the Russian or Italian routs be repeated. The British army is falling back slowly, disputing the way in true British fashion, and when the turn comes, as it must, will be ready to counter-attack with vigor. In this the British have the advantage of terrain and of concentration, for the Germans must operate over broken ground and with a front line stretching farther and farther from its base. Just as these military considerations have combined to check each forward move of the Allies, and as they held up the tremendous Austro-German push into Italy, so it must check Hindenburg now, unless the strength of the allied forces in France is broken, and that is unthinkable. How sharply Haig will be able to counter will measure the success of this tremendous move. In addition, we must believe for the time at least that French and American forces are not disen gaged, although the news at hand concerns the British army mostly. Another day, and maybe longer must pass before we know the full extent of the battle or its outcome. What is known, though, can have but one ef fect in America. It must bring home to each the extent of the work on which we have entered. The German high command docs not think of peace without victory, and neither may we. 1 Palm Sunday services will be observed with uncommon solemnity today, because of condi tions abroad. Prayers that go up for our cause will not be addressed to a God of battles, but to a God of justice and mercy, in whom this na tion trusts and under whose favor it has existed and prospered, HenaaleeiVeaaaaaaBMnaaalBaHnlllHeMMg) Nebraska's Drive for War Savings Stamps. Total subscription for the War savings stamps in Nebraska are now put at $30,000,000, or $4,000, 000 in excess of the quota assigned this state. Part of this result is due to the spontaneous in terest of the people in' this form of contribution to the government's efforts to finance $he war, and part is ascribable to the energy and good judgment with which the campaign has been pushed. We will not undertake to make assign ment of the share that should go to one or the other, but wish jointly to congratulate the people of the state and Mr. Ward Burgess, who directed the work, on the very gratifying outcome of the campaign. The war stamps are peculiarly attrac tive, in that they may be purchased in small quantities, as little as 25 cents at a time, and af ford a most substantial investment for the pen nies that otherwise might go astray. Ownership of one or more of the certificates is a proof of thrift as well as of patriotism, both of which qualities characterize Nebraskans. Buyers should keep in mind, too, that while the drive has ended, the privilege of purchase extends throughout the jear, and that each may step up and purchase at any time, until the limit of $1,000 is attained. Do We Want Opsra or "Freaks?" New York experience with grand opera dur ing the closing season has given rise to a dis cussion that is interesting, and not altogether academic. To start the debate, it has been as serted that $6 opera can not be sold in New York, unless accompanied by a "freak;" that certain of the famed prima donni can not command more than two crowds in a season, and then only in roles with which their names have been asso ciated for reasons other than their musical ac complishments or histrionic, attainments. Proof, based on reports from the box office, "confirma tion strong as proof of Holy Writ," is offered to support this charge, and thus to strengthen one of the most genuine of indictments against Gotham's culture. The question now comes up, does the rest of the country differ in any material regard from New York on this point? Here the answer will be supported only by local pride, and with no other foundation. Each community will, very likely, insist that it enjoys the music and finds in the rich, caressing, inspiring or commanding tones conjured up by the composer and offered by the singer that which is not to be had else where. If so be the singer has established a character for eccentricity or peculiar excellence in some regard, even beyond the full requirements of singing well, so much the better, for the piquancy of the zest is thus heightened, but it is the music itself we first seek. Perhaps. Yet it is true that certain great plays have succeeded "in the sticks," and failed "on Broad way," and the other way around as well. Producers in drama finally admit that a Broad way judgment is not a talisman or criterion for success, once the Hudson is crossed. Impre sarios also may prove the truth of this. Yet it might be interesting to know exactly how much of enthusiasm for grand opera is genuine and" what proportion of it is social pretense. Not that it would do any good, but the cynical might get some comfort from the knowledge. Closing the Door on Imports. President Wilson has issued an order plac ing an embargo on a long' and interesting list of imported articles. These have been selected for one of two reasons; either they are produced at home in sufficient quantity to supply domestic demands, or they are of a non-essential charac ter. Liberation of tonnage now employed in a carrying trade of no war service for uses in traffic between here and Europe is aimed at. Thus we are thrust back to the simple life of the fathers, when patriots preferred the home product and only nabobs or fops sought that which came from abroad. Americans may miss some of the things cut off, but they will find substitutes in domestic supplies, or go without, and none will kick or complain but the thoughtlessly selfish, who already regard this war as a bore and an unpleasant interference with their accustomed comfort. The embargo is apt to have another very good lesson. It will teach our folks the excellent qualities of things produced at home, and if the war lasts any length of time we are apt to become addicted to the use of our own make or growth of goods, so that we will prefer them in the future to any from abroad. In this way the inveterate free trade habit of the demo cratic party, accustomed to swapping raw ma terial with other nations for what we ought to make at home, may be cured. This considera tion alone renders the experiment worthy of trial. Vieivs, Reviews and Interviews How the World War is Being Reflected in the Postage Stamps That Prepay the Foreign Mail. This war is making scraps of paper of a lot of things to which our attention has not yet been directed. I came across another one in examining the universal postal treaty as revised in 1906 by the World's Postal con gress at Rome which carried my father's sig nature as one of the delegates representing the United States and which undertakes to establish the conditions for the interchange of foreign mail between all the countries of the world maintaining postoffices. Various efforts had been made from time to time to secure the adoption of a universal postage stamp for foreign mail transmission but with out success. The nearest approach to it is the agreement fixing the rate of foreign postage in equivalent money of the different countries and the requirement that the post age stamps of these denominations should be of the same color, no matter by what postal authority issued. Thus this treaty provides that our 1-cent stamp, the French 5- centimes stamp, the German 5-pfennigs stamp, the British and British colonial half penny stamp, and all the others correspond ingly, be green in color and interchangeable in postal value. The same applies to our 2 cent stamp, the French 10-centimes stamp, the German 10-pfennigs stamp, the British 1 penny, all of which are to be red, and like wise to our 5-cent stamp, the French 25 centimes stamp, the German 25-pfennigs stamp, the British 2-penny stamp, all to be blue. The only reason for this uniformity of color is obviously to facilitate their use for foreign mail purposes because these are the postage stamps, generally speaking, affixed to postal Cards, and single-weight or over weight letters going from one country to the other. Here we are, however, as a war meas ure, changing our postage rate so that a let ter to be sent abroad now must bear a purple cent stamp, or, if double weight, an orange 6- cent stamp and a postal card a red 2-cent stamp instead of a green 1-cent stamp. Over in Canada, where they have similarly im posed a war tax on postage, the color of the current 2-cent stamp has been changed to brown, but with an extra 1-cent war tax designated on its face. That is to say, the Canadian postal authorities distinguish be tween the carrying charge and tax but dis regard the international color regulations as flagrantly as we da Personally, I think the Canadian method in this respect better than our own. Anyone can readily see that there will have to be a lot of repair work done after the war to get all the postal sys tems of this and other countries once more thoroughly interlocked and smoothly work ing at their various points of contact. Mr. Lenroot for the nomination. Congress man Lenroot was out here in Nebraska dur ing the 1916 campaign, speaking at several points in the state, but not in Omaha, and made a most favorable impression on his audiences and with those who came in touch" with him. If he goes into the senate, he will know something of Nebraska by personal ( bservation. The federal trade commission's hearings on the subject of print paper last winter gave me also an acquaintance with Mr. Davies under circumstances showing him to be a man of force and clear thinking. It goes without saying that he is a staunch democrat, but outside of his intense parti sianship his influence would be the same as Mr. Lenroot's in offset to the radicalism of La Follette. "How is the daylight saving innovation next month going to affect the railroads?" I asked General Manager Walters of the Northwestern. "I don't think it will affect us at all, cer tainly not seriously. We can move our time ahead an hour without any difficulty, except that the trains enroute at the moment will all he an hour late from then on in arriving at destinations. They can, however, try to make up time and may actually, in some cases, reach destination according to sched ule. Our trouble will come in the fall when the procedure is reversed and the clock hands turned back. I see no way of meeting that situation except to stop every train just where it is for an hour until the time sched ules catch up." To all outward appearances Francis J. Heney was feeling fine and' in the best of humor during his recent visit to Omaha. I had only a few words with him at the hotel, but looked in on his meat packing inquest in the federal building for a little while to get an idea how it was going. It was cer tainly a one-ring show with Mr. Heney as the ringmaster. Oh yes, he pulled some in formation out of his witnesses, but he fur nished them more than he got from them much that they already knew, but still a little that they did not know before. I have seen Mr. Heney perform several times in widely different roles in delegates contest cases, in the big political conventions, in the Trade Commission's paper conferences, as well as in this meat packing investigation and I think he made the best impression in this last, perhaps because he was having every thing his own way. The outcome of the primary in Wisconsin makes certain that the next senator from that state will be either Congressman Lenroot or former Federal Trade Commissioner Davies, according as the loyalty vote is massed for one or the other, or perhaps, I should say, according as one or the other is less objec tionable to the disloyalty vote that opposed Strain of Trench Raids Going "over the top" with a crowd is a much easier task for a soldier than a trench raid usually made by few in number and at night. "Some men have told me," writes Philip Gibbs in the London Chronicle, "that they would much rather go over the top in a big attack than go out on a night raid. There is not the same confidence that comes from being one among a mass of men. The nerv ous strain is more intense. The necessity of utter silence while waiting to make the pounce is apt 'to put the wind up, as they say, and each man feels very much alone. "Upon the officers who lead the raids there is a heavy sense of responsibility, and many anxious moments of expectation. They know that if anything goes wrong, if a man does the wrong thing, the whole raiding party may be destroyed. 1 "One of them told me that the day before such a raid he could do nothing but smoke cigarets to keep his nerves in control, and he was a victim of frightful apprehensions. These passed as soon as the raid started. "After that his mind was utterly intent upon the job this job of leading his men through a gap in the enemy's wire, of direct ing them to the enemy's dugouts, of grab bing the prisoners who tried to run down the trench, and of getting the party back across No Man's land under machine-gun fire. "His brother officer was killed. Several men were wounded, and had to be searched for and carried back in a hurry. It was like a nightmare, intensely vivid, but with the mind acting in an automatic way, with out premeditation, during every action of that crowded half-hour. "This officer was surprised to find himself back again and alive in his own trench, and it was only then, when he realized his own escape, that he felt a sharp pain of grief for that brother officer whbse dead body had been 'eft behind. "There is no time for grief when these things are happening. The experience of this friend of mine is like that of many young officers and men who, every night now somewhere along the line, are asked to make a raid for the capture of prisoners. They, too, feel apprehensive before the start ing hour, and then steel themselves and take the plunge into 'the quick adventure, and after the half-hour's nightmare of fierce ac tion, come back, if luck is with them, to their own trenches -with a small group of field- gray men with frightened eyes as a proof of its reality. "It is hard and dangerous work. But it is one of the important acts of war, because in this way knowledge is gained, for one thing, of the troops the enemy has in the line, and for that reason our officers and men who make the night raids are doing great service, and upon their skill and cour age depends not a little the safety of the armies behind them, and our strength of resistance to that menace which creeps a little nearer every day that passes." - On being shown through the newly en larged quarters of the Nebraska Clothing company I expressed surprise at the amount of room devoted to the alteration department and the number of cross-legged tailors all busy in it. "When I was with Hellman, who had the big clothing store in Omaha when I first came here over 30 years ago," said Mr. Swanson, "we had one tailor in the estab lishment and had scarcely enough work to keep him going. In the clothing store I was managing 15 years ago, about 10 per cent of the garments sold came in for alterations. Now I should say nearly 90 per cent of these garments are brought in here. Of course, there is a reason. Almost all the coats and trousers of the better grades of men's cloth ing are left with sleeves and trouser legs unfinished to have the lengths fixed to suit the customer. This is made necessary by the fact that men are all the time becoming more and more particular as to the fit of their clothes and we, too, are more and more par ticular not to send put poorly fitting gar ments for the effect it has on us as well as on the customer. That explains why so many tailors arc needed here even though no custom goods are turned out." People and Events Some people lay up treasures in heaven, others rent safe deposit boxes, but the wise live ones let Uncle Sam hold it. John D. Rockefeller's income taxes is es timated at $38,400,000, putting him far ahead of all competitors in the individual race. William Lohse, 61, and Henry Lohsc, 63, owners of a flour mill at Logan, Kan., defied the government admonition to kaiser wor shipers, "Obey the law and keep your mouth shut." Arrest on a presidential warrant brings an internment camp into view and the Lohse mill will henceforth run on the Amer ican plan under American control. Elder Amasa Morse, the Methuselah of Connecticut, is no more. He went over the top at 104. For 60 years he was an Adventist preacher, one of the charter members of William Miller's New England flock, and for more than half a century proficied "the sec ond coming." Waiting proved vain, how ever, and Amasa goes to find out for himself who threw the switch. The political pull of a ward heeler in Kan sas City occasionally loses its force on juries. One Bill Bowman won a petty verdict in the criminal court and demanded a new trial, confident of acquittal on the second round. He got a new trial all right, and a new jury, which knocked him down and out with a 99 year sentence in the penitentiary for assault ing a child. Justice now and then hits the right pace. Things do happen in Indiana in off po litical years. A report of a marriage in Val paraiso records an extraordinary transfusion in these gripping words: "As sweetly as the blending of two light beams in the solemn hush that fell over the little company of friends, these two souls melted into each other under the mystic words of union ejpoken by the officiating clergyman." Prosaic society reporters will kindly sit up and study the model. One Year Ago Today In the War. American relief workers recalled from Belgium and France.

This new, marvelous sanitary preparation does its work so gradually that it has since been legally accorded the name Never-Tel, and being put up in delicately-perfumed tablet form, it is complete in itself.

Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and Fresh Every Day Drink a glass of real hot water . before breakfast to wash out poisons. Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, look well. What a glorious condition to attairi, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morninpr inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom ach, can instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by "opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poison ous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stom ach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little, but is suf ficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of internal sani tation.
