A Democratic Ananias Club,

The time has come for Q second
Ananias club and II should be char
tered under the auspices Of the dem.
ocratic party. with Governor Wood
row Wilson as its official head. As
charter members we would suggest
Colonel George Harvey. Colonel
Henry Wstterson and the New York

around which a large and thriving
organization should be built up an
the political season progresses. The
democracy and the club are to be
congratulated upon the prominence
of its original members. Their per-
sonnet should insure a stable and
rapid growth.
As things now stand II appears
that DIR. Wilson's task az the direct

South Blocking Popular Election.

Awsy.from-Home News.

The old adagc about going away
from home to hear the news is again
exemplified by cutting from the
Manchester (EnglandD Guardian,
kindly sent to US, telling how the
opposition to the Anglo-Ameriean
treaty was voiced by Mr.. Gilbert
Hitchcock. one of the Nebraska SEN
ators. who took the point OF view
of the Germsn-American societies.
which have been agitating against the
treaties" In explanation the English
newspaper goes on TO say:
The senator, who was member OF the
house OF representatives for thirteen Of
the last sixteen years. completed his edn-
cation In Germany. and has 50 many
connections in that country that his
champions hip OF the Fatherlsnd can
easily be understood. but IT 10 regrettahis
that the owner OF three powerful Omaha
newspapers should take up such q posi-
ton as he Indicated In his speech today.
Referring TO Sir Edward Grey's speeches
In the House Of Commons. Ar. Hitchooek
said that IL was significant that while
Anglo American relations were so strsihsd
the British government SHOULD be 50
anxious TO conclude a treaty with ths
United states, and he said that. 10 hls
mind. Il was quite obvious that Grea'
Britain expected a conflict with Germany
and desired to have American help.
In this connection 1t is interesting
also TO quote from Mr.. Bryan''
commoner. which indicates thai the
source of opposition to the treaty Is
not so much German. as Irish IA
evidence by the great fight againsf
the peace treaty being made by The
irish World. The whole point. Il
says, In Mr.. Hltchcock's speech was
that ratification would place us In
an entangling alliance with Grcai
Britain. a point completely turned b.
Senator Rayner's unanswered ques
ton. asking II ratification would also
place us In an entangling alliance
with France. The Commoner con-
chdes.
Senator Raynr's question shows tn,
absurdity OF the oontention that the rsu'
fication % thess arbitration treaties
means an alliance such as Washington
warned US against. II the treaty mad
with Great Britain means an entangiini
alliance with that country. then thu

tangling alliance with France. Then whsi
