While Still Fresh in Mind.

Before we get away from the late election
The Bee wants to call attention to two rulings by
the election commissioner constituting the cleo
ton law as applied in this county differently
from it's application in other parts of the state
and, we believe, wrongly.
In the first place, a primary filing to put
candidate in the running for both the republican
and democratic nominations was refused, while
a similar double filing for republican and pro-
gressive party nominations was accepted. In
other words, candidates we're permitted to double
up as republicans and progressives, or as demo-
Gratis and populsts. but not as republicans and
democrats. This discrimination strikes us as
purely arbitrary, for II the law permits multiple
nominations by more than one party, the door
must be open to the fusion of any two parties
for which the required filings must be made.
Secondly, the election commissioner has held
that the closing Of the registration books ten
days before election to be absolute and uncon-
ditional. and to prevent the swearing in Of a
vote under any circumstances. In Lincoln
where registration is also required. citizen with
a good and sufficient for not having
registered. may swear in his vote. Conceding
that continuous registration makes good and
sufficient reasons scarce there are still cases
where an unregistered voter may not have been
ut fault, Our constitution in its bill OF rights
declares that all elections Shall be free" and
without "hndrance or impediment TO the right

No Partial Peace Possible.

Whatever else may or may not, have been
accomplished By the three months OF active
fighting. result win probably be generally
conceded-the Welding together OF ali the ma
tons engaged on each side Of the great conflict,
so that detachment for separate negotiations or
settlement has become impossible.
At the outset, Great Britain thought II the
part OF wisdom to engage France and Russia in a
new pledge that none were to accept terms not
satisfactory to all, and II was taken for granted
that Germany's alliance with Austria was such
that neither would entertain any proposal dis
tasteful to the other. Turkey is the only power
that has seemingly entered the war after its
commencement as a free agent, and yet this free
dom of action is more apparent than real. 1t is
possible, though not probable, that the allies
could, II they would offer special inducements
detach Turkey from the support of Germany and
Austria, but plainly the Turks participation in
the war is not regarded by either side as the de-
cisve factor.
Three months OF fighting therefore must
merely strengthen the conviction that the end
Of the will not come piecemeal nor by any
peace pact that disregards the issues as to any
OF the belligerent countries. When one OF the
big powers lay down arms, they will all cease
warning, and, indeed a partial peace would be
no peace at all.

Pooling and Pooling,

Our amiable local contemporaries are maxi
ing themselves ridiculous by pointing out in
stances in the recent election in which the sue
cessful candidates have won by pluralites, and
not matorities, as examples of foolipg the people.
They tell us, for example that II all who did not
vote for Penrose in PENNSYLVANIA had pooled
their votes on one candidate, they would have
beaten him, and likewise that local candidate
for county commissioner, Who though compelled
TO run in field Of four came through with a
plurality Of 1000, would have lost had all the
votes cast for his opponents been conferred on
one man. But this is true, generally speaking in
all OF our elections II all the people who did
not vote for Woodrow Wilson two years ago had
pooled their votes, Wilson would not today be
president. The democrats have apparently
saved two or three state offices in addition to
governor out OF our Nebraska elecuon, but not
one of them would have landed had all the
votes which they did not get been pooled for one
candidate Going back 20 the preceding primary.
mighty few OF the candidates names would have
gone on the ballot If all the votes against them
had been pooled

American Businsss Stability.

While business stability all over the world
has been subjected to severe test in with
standing the disturbance caused by the European
war, American business is showing recuperatiye
powers In various ways, and in none more stril-
ingly than in taking on the new war taxes APP
parently without ripple. The law imposing a
great variety OF new internal revenue duties
was rushed through congress in a very short
time part of these additional taxes becoming
effective at once, with the approval of the law
by the president as of date October %. An
other big block of special taxes became operative
November l. and the remainder OF the new taxes
Will be effective on December 1.
II is assumed for the most part that these
taxes will be shifted by those who pay them in
the first instance to the ultimate consumer, but
this assumption is not wholly warranted. At
any rate, Il will take some time to distribute
the tax burden, II il is to be distributed at ALL
and In the interval the business or occupation on
which II first falls must carry the load. That
tax machinery designed TO raise $50, 900 600 OF
revenue from domestic sources could be set in
motion without hitch and almost without at
tracing attention. speaks volumes for the sound
ness OF the American industrial and business
fabric
