Advocates of temperance should
not overlook the fact that there is a
respectable minority throughout the
state who are opposed to radical
temperance legislation. We believe
the majority of the people of the
state will approve of county option.
The law should be fear]essly en-
forced and given fair trial, and if
the results justify the expectations
of the friends of the measure it will
remain upon the statute books OF
our state for many years. Until it
has been demonstrated what county
option will accomplish the true
friends of temperance should rest on
their oars.

The road-house law is to be tested
in the courts on the grounds that it
is unconstitutional owing to the ir-
regular manner which it passed the
house. There is no doubt but what
goodly majority of the voters OF
Minnesota approve of this measure,
which is designed to eliminate nu.
merous drink resorts of questionable
reputation. and if it is allowed to re-
main upon the statute books the
state would not suffer in the least.

Sundays Duluth News-Tribune
contained an extensive review of the
work of the legislature. Mr.. J. W.
Maggie, managing editor Of the paper,
was on the ground all Through the
session and ought to know whereof
he writes. The only criticism of
Mr.. Nagle's review that we have to
offer is that he is too partial to some
of the members and, in some in
stances: gives credit where credit is
not due. But on the whole it is a
fair size-up Of the membership and
the work they did and did not ac-
complish.

One of the Sunday papers this
week contained an article entitled
''Why Millionaires Make Poor Hus-
bands.'' 1t was written by woman
who has had several millionaire hus.
bands. and she contends that great
wealth tends to detract a man at
tention from his home. 1t is safe to
assume. however, that few men will
find their matrimonial suits rejected
merely because they happen to have
an abundance of that which has
been designated as the root of al
evil.

The responsibility for the omission
of several items from the omnibus
appropriation bills should be def

The most serious complaint against the pri-

enacted TO stop this intrusion. Yet simply ex-

blockade RUNNING Now the order.

The order Of the British imperial council,
signed by King George and promulgated in his
name means the cutting off as far as possible
Of all German commerce. The German sub
marine campaign has a similar effect on British
commerce, and ships entering or leaving
enemy ports must dodge patrols above and below
the surface of the water. II is the svowed OBJ
ject of each OF the beligerents TO isolate the
other from the world, and TO cut off all supplies
for the population, in or out Of the army
War is stern, and its realities are terrible
We will now see all the horrors that have been
told of slaughter by machinery augmented by
the efforts OF the belligerents to starve noncom-
batants. For that is what the situation amounts
to; women and children, and the old men and
the disabled, are to be made to feel the pangs Of
hunger, while the armies strive in the field on
steadily shortening rations.
The protests OF the United states, in the
name OF all neutral governments, have been un-
availing to secure modification OF the belliger-
ents' attitude II looks as If the neutrals not
willing to become involved in the war, only
let traffic between the enemy ports and neutrai
ports fall into the condition of blockade running,
with such reprlsals as conditions may permit.

Omaha Made Goods.

The Buy Omaha-made-goods' campaign,
which has been inaugurated comparatively by a
group Of our enterprising manufacturers, should
have the cordial support OF every one who is in
rerested in the growth and prosperity OF Omaha,
and that means every one who lives in Omaha.
Omaha wants more manufactures, but more
especially wants the factories 1t already has to
be so completely successful as to warrant steady
expansion and enlargement. The home product
should have the home market preference, not
only to build up the home factory. but also to
keep home wage-earners employed-who. in
turn, are the customers for everything sold ana
consumed here
Above all. those who have Joined in the move
nent to push omaha-made goods by making
them more widely known, are engaged in a pub
licity campaign of which Omaha as a whole will
share the benefits and will therefore be helping
itself by helping II along.

State Rirht. and ths national Guard.

All the sainted dead Of democracy must have
shuddered in their shrouds as Governor John H.
Morehead of the sovereign state OF Nebraska
perused the note from Lindley II. Garrison,
secretary Of war in the cabinet OF President Will
son, tantamount to an order that the governor
have his legislature get busy without any further
delay and pass such appropriation for support of
the Nebraska National guard as will meet the ap-
proval OF the secretary of war.
Regardless OF the wisdom or foolishness of
Nebraska's legislative action, by what right
does a member OF the cabinet OF a democratic
president undertake to invade either the legisla-
tive or executive function of a sovereign state.
even to give advice? In Indiana only few days
ago, the legislature repudiated a statewide
primary law as a rebuke to Secretary Brayan for
his meddling in purely state matters. but that
example seems to have been lost Secretary
Garrison.
On what evil days have the Jeffersonian
traditions fallen! IL looks as If the corner stone
of the democratic temple were finally to descend
TO the state of being innocuously used as a mere
hitching block for the democratic donkey.

Hindsight as a Factor in Reform.

much OF the refernl that is achieved by hysteria.
No one'wil question the wisdom of the move for
the abolition of the dope traffic. Its wiping out
will prove one of the best things ever done in
this country and the effort to that end has the
support OF all right thinking people. But the
failure to provide Tor the proper treatment of the
victims of that traffic is characteristic Of the
short-sighted methods too frequently adopted in
the bringing about OF reforms. 1t is not enough
TO say that the way to suppress an evil is 20

with IT, The present experience should serve To
