The Protest Against Shin Purchase.

The United States might avoid friction and
meet the objection raised to the purchase Of
ships from Germany by adopting the allies pro-
posal Of distributing its purchases among as
many Of the warning nations as have vessels
for sale, but their objection, nevertheless
would still be not well founded. For II rests on
the assumption that the money paid for the
German ships would be in the nature Of a loan
to a beligerent, which would be true only II the
German government owned the ships and got
the proceeds. But where private citizens sell us
ships, we would be paying our money to them
without any more control over the money after
ward than we have over that paid to buy back
our own securities from foreign holders.
1t seems to us. therefore, that the objection
to our governments plan of thus rehabitating
its merchant marine lies wholly outside OF the
point raised by England France and Russia,
In their manifestation of displeasure at our
project, which, as Secretary Bryan says has not
yet reached the stage Of actual purchase. The
United States earnest desire Is to avoid offense
to any Of the beligerents, but at the same
time we have rights and must not be censured
for asserting them so long as we also observe
the rights Of others.

Short Ballot Will Abolish PARTY Cirole.

There are lots OF telling arguments for the
short ballot, but none stronger than the prom
ise that when the long ballot goes the party
circle will soon go, too
The only thing that has kept the party cir
Gle on the Official ballot in Nebraska up to this
time has been its confusing length, giving us a
choice only between a single cross mark for the
straight ticket and complete Acknowledgement
OF the large body of the voters.
What Nebraska should have, and would
have had for many years is something akin to
the so-called Massachusetts ballot listing the
candidates for the different offices merely by
name and political affliation. but counting no
votes for them except according to the mark
set opposite We used to vote for eagles and
elephants and stars making real Roadway when
the party designation was substituted but we
will be voting for men rather than trade marks
only when the party circle is taken off the
ballot.
The party circle may be safely removed as
soon as the ballot is shortened. The plan pro-
posed by The Bee for filling by appointment
certain offices now elective and abollshing 9TH
ers a. useless or duplicated, means, therefore,
not only the short ballot, but also the speedy
abolition of the party circle.

Reprieve for Railroads.

II congress acquiesces-as It doubtless will
be glad to do-in the presidents expressed will
ingness to drop the railroad securities bill for

fair to expect the railroads to adjust their plans
to the yagaries OF present financial conditions,
II may be taken a reprieve for the roads, of
which they ought to make the most. The meas
ure, once dropped may not be brought up soon
again II the railroads do nothing to provoke 1t.
Neither the president congress nor the pub
lie desires to hamper the railroads---the only
aim is proper safeguarding against such prac-
tices as originally called for restrictive legisla-
tion This mach seems clear, and greatly to the
advantage of the railroads at this time that,
while the New Haven mess has a good deal to
do with intensifying the demand for govern
mental membership under its new management
II seems to be stressng the business of railroad
ing instead of wildcat financierng One thing

plexities that have suddenly confronted us

A Red Cross Suggestion.


From copy Of the Paris edition OF the
New York Herald sent us by fellow townsman,
who was of the marooned tourists abroad
we copy the following item:
10 aid the French Red Cross societies n special
postage stamp. costing is confines, instead Of the
ordinary l0-ccntime stamp, s TO he issued. The
profit derived from the extra 8 confines will be
shared among the Red Cross societies. The stamp
will bear surcharge Of centimes and a red cross
This strikes us mighty good plan for
raising Red Cross funds which could we'll be
copied in this country. Let congress imme-
diately authorize the Postoffice department to
place sale at every postofice in he country
a stamp with Red Cross coupon attached, for
which the sale price will include an additional
cent TO be turned into the Red Cross treasury.
The purchase Of the stamps at the higher price
should be, OF course, entirely optional, and the
present postage stamps continue available for
all the purposes for which they are now used.
Such stamp would enable everyone, rich or
poor, to contribute as he feels disposed, to the
relief work imposed by this horrible war.

COngress Lost in the shnffle.

The clamor for the transaction of public
business out in the open, for the abolition Of
the old star chamber session OF congress, voiced
in THE New Freedoms" demand, Let There
Be Light" is silenced for the moment by the
more sonorous voice of war. and the circum-
stance is not without its touch Of irony.
Who knows or cares what is going on in
eongress' There is just one story OF the day at
present-war. Everything else is submerged in
that Only hint of other activities now and
then filters through TO the public. The demand
for light on the doings of our congress has been
automatically answered. Congress is lost in the
shuttle. BY resort TO the grim pages OF that
deeorous and veracious palladium of political
pap, the Congressional Record. one may, II
blessed with much patience and the faculty for
extricating morsels OF information from maze
OF words. gather somewhat incoherent idea OF
what is going on in the halls OF congress at this
time. Otherwise he may have to bide his time
and trust to his honorable representatives, who
persist for some vague reason. in staying on
the job.

Twice Told Tales
One On General Grant.

General Grants most pronounced characteristic
perhaps, Was his reward OF the friends who had
stood by him in his early days" said Colonel s. A.
Holmes of st, Lewis. while Grant was doing the
best he could after he had quit the army and was
down and out, he wanted to get the job Of county
surveyor of st. Louis county This job was in the
keeping of the three county judges. Grant could
get only of them to vote for him. didn't get
the place which mighty good thing for the
nation, as events afterward proved.
After the war, when Grant serving his
first term as president, delegation Of Missourians
visited the White House to the appointment Of
ST Louis man for collector of internal revenue, the
most lucrative position in the state Grant listened
to the arguments and looked the petition pre-
sented. Then he scratched his head and remarked:
" Isn't there old fellow there by the name
of Long. who used to be a Judge Of the county
cOurt?"
Nobody in the delegation could recall Long but
Grant told them TO go back and find out Some time
later he was told that Judge Long was sun living
in the county. but was not conscious.
" Get up petition for him, advised the presl-
dent, land will appoint him internal revenue col
lector'
The friends OF Long lost no time in presenting
the requested petition, and the old Judge was APP
pointed.
Grant had never forgotten the favor done him
when he was less prosperous Washington Post.
