Secretary Knox's Caribbean Visit.

Undoubtedly one of the chief OBJ
jects OF Secretary Knox's coming visit
to the Caribbean countries is to pave
the way for the relations that should
exist between those countries and the
United States consequent upon the
building OF the Panama canal. Mr..
Knox. who has urged congress to
sanction the loans to Nicaragua and
Honduras, seems exactly the man and
this the strategic time for this mis-
sion. The United States should pro-
mote cordial relations. not only be-
tween II and these countries, but be-
tween them seyerally. Whenever the
unbroken pursuit Of peaceful Industry
among these little nations to the
south Is established we shall need to
concern ourselves very little with
problems that now vex us.
But many Americans believe IL is
going too far TO buy these conditions
with an extension OF our financial
protectorate over these countries.
The Honduran loan. exceeding $780,
100000. has not yet been approved
by the senate for that reason. Those
opposing the proposition ask that II
We grant this concession to Homo azas
and Nicaragua. as We have already
done in the case Of Hayti, where shall
we draw the line? II will establish a
precedent that will be difficult to
break. European countries might be-
come too generous in their loans,
knowing that back OF the volatile
Central American republic stood its
powerful guarantor. Uncle Sam.
II seems TO be simply a question OF
how far the United States can afford
TO go in this direction. In the case
Of Hayti we practically took over the
financial conduct Of the government.
But We saved II from bankruptcy and
restored economic prosperity, and
thus far have met with no evil eonse-

Regardless of the Verdiots.

Regardless of the verdicts which
the committees on investigation in
the cases of Senators Stephenson and
Lorimer submit, it is safe TO say that
the methods and means by which
these men we're elected to the senate
have, by the wide publicity of these
investigations, been SO unpopular as
to be uninviting to candidates for the
senate in Wisconsin or Illinois, or
other states in the future. And II
only that has been done. substantial
progress has been achieved, whether
the final announcement Of the inves-
tigators is adverse or favorable to
the individuals involved, or whether
they are retained in their seats or
not.
No sane man, who has kept up
with any measurable part OF the
Lorimer case, believes that the meth
DDS by which Lorimer became a SEN
ator were what they should have
been. Nobody. not even the senators
reporting in favor of Stephenson. will
dare say that 100000 should be
spent without knowing where 1t is
to go, to be elected to seat in the
upper branch OF congress. Perhaps
II serves better and larger purpose
after all to let these men remain In
the senate. where they will be con-
spicuous examples OF the evil OF I'M
savory politics. But the lamentable
truth is that they do not stand out
In as bold relief from all their col
leagues as 1t might be wished they
did. since they, probably, only over
did what, In measure. too many
others, both democrats and rcpub-
licans. did.
Unseating a senator would not be
q victory unless at the same time We
had uprooted bad practice in cor
rupt politics. II Is the nope that We
have done this that encourages good
people to view with equanimity the
fate OF either Lorimer or Stephenson.
Regardless OF the verdiets in their
cases. 1t 10 safe to predict that their
successors viii not be elected by the
same methods that gave them their
commissions.

Those Five Amendments.

Except for the publicity voluntarily
given by the newspapers the people
of Nebraska would be left almost
wholly in the dark with reference 10
five important amendments TO the
constitution submitted by the last
legislature for adoption at the COM
ing election. Under the method of
constitution-changing now prevailing
in this state the decisive vote on the
amendments will take place, not in
the November election. but in the
April primary. The five amendments
briefly epitomlEed are as follows:
/ Initiative and referendum.
. Doubling salaries of members Of the
legislature.
g. Creating an appointIve board Of con-
troll for state institutions.
(. Providing for only biennial elections
after the year 1914.
8. Empowering cities OF more than 500
Inhabitants to frame and adopt their own
charters.
Only once before have as many
constitutional amendments been sub
mitted for ratification at one time in
Nebraska. and on that occasion they
were all defeated. the multiplicity of
the amendments contributing to that
end. In this list of five are some that
will meet with a division OF opinion.
and others that will encounter the OBJ
staele of indifference. The danger
that threatens arises not only from
the multiplicity of amendments. but
also from the still greater multiplicity
of candidates and offices on the pri-
mary ballot. sure to test the staying
powers Of the voter. An amendment
submitted two years ago fell by the
wayside of its own inertia, and In the
absence of persistent agitation II will
not be surprising IL one or two of
these meet a similar fate.
