on the State debts stopped.

There is a tendency throughout

Munioipal Homs.Ruls variatiOns.

With the demand for a larger measure of
municipal home rule so widespread and continu-
Gus, the action OF the New York state constitu-
ttonal convention upon the subject after careful
consideration and debate, is worth at least q
passing notice. New York state heretofore has
empowered the legislature to enact and amend
the city charters subject to veto power by the
mayor OF any city specially affected-overridden
only by re-enactment. An effort to provide
complete municipal autonomy along the lines Of
our recent home rule amendment to our Ne
braska constitution has not met with favor, the
provision accepted, as we understand IL, permit
ting cities to make their own charters through
popularly-elected city charter commission with
approval by the people, but only subject to en-
dorsement or rejection by the legislature. To
this the objection naturally urged was that the
cities we're to be given home rule with legsla-
tive string tied to IT,
On the other hand, the New York proposal
TO a large extent balances this invitation to out
side Interference by limiting the legislature in
Its law-maklng for cities to general legislation,
end completely abolishing the refinements of
classification screen for special acts for but
a single city. The exercise OF legislative powers
relating to the property, affairs or municipal
government OF any city, except as applicable
to all the cities Of the state without classified
ton or distinction" is to be definitely prohib-
tied. It goes without saying that IL a city char
ter can no longer be built expressly for a par
ticular community many Of the evils and abuses
of our too-prevalent charter t'nkerlng will be
self-effaced.
OF course. the revised New York constitution
is not yet adopted, and may not be, but IL It is
ratified and put into practical operation. these
novel features will be closely observed by stu
dents of municipal government everywhere.

The Freedom Of the Sea.

Commenting on Germany's proposed course
ia dealing with the United States over the Ara
bic incident, Chancellor Won Bethman- Hollweg
expressed the hope that our government would
renew the effort to induce Great Britain to con-
sent TO a modus vvendi under which the COM
merce OF neutrals win not suffer unduly through
the interference OF bellgerents. This question
is one OF the most trouble-breeding between
nations, and has been In all ages. The right OF
neutrals to freely traffic between one another,
or with non-contraband articles with belIiger-
ents, is usually admitted, and, until the present
war, was supposed to be firmly established.
But agreements made in time Of peace be-
come very irksome when either party to them
engages in war. In the present instance Great
Britain has tremendous advantage, and has so
far used It without special regard for the feel
ings OF any nation. The powerful British navy
is performing the mission for which Il was
created, but recognition OF this fact does not
make its activity the more palatable. No one
wishes to limit the legitimate operation OF the
kings navy, but some sort OF boundary should
be put to its domination of all the seas. The
greatest OF maritime nations, whose existence
depends on uninterrupted passage of the seas,
ought to be the first to defend the rights of
neutral commerce.
modus vivendi may be established to re-
lleve temporarily what has become most un-
pleasant situation, but when the war is over this
question Of freedom Of the seas must again have
Immediate and serious attention.

The Leading Export Nation.

War has raised the United States TO the
proud position of the leading export nation of
the world. This is but one OF several points OF
prestige to which we have nationally attained
as result Of the disturbed condition abroad, but
which we may reasonably hnra to retain II
proper efforts be made. That we have sent
abroad more OF goods and wares than any other
nation is not at all TO be wondered at, since the
other great manufacturing nations have been
devoting their attention for a twelve-month OF
longer to destruction rather than production.
or course, this reflection takes a little OF the
pride out of the achievement. Whether our
manufacturers will be able to hold the great ad-
vantage they have in trading after peace has
again been declared and the manufacturers OF
Europe resume their activity. will depend upon
the conditions that follow the war. II may be
very well understood that no effort will be
spared by the Europeans TO regain their lost
position, and consequently American manufac-
turers will need every possible announcement
and assistance from tho home government. In
the contest for the business Of the world the
fighting will be quite as fierce as any the world
has ever known. and preparedness is as essential
to meet this economic situation as to withstand
possible attack from army or navy of a foreign
country. That this preparedness does not lie
in the direction OF the Underwood tariff or any
OF the other political nostrums suggested by
the doctors OF democracy, must be plain 70 ALI.
