Tightening the War Lines.

Two OF the latest moves in the great war
game. while neither is in itself surprise or a
novelty, come with something Of shock to the
general public. One is the embargo laid by Eng
land on Germany's food supplies. through declsr.
ing contraband all food destined for German
consumption. The other is the embargo placed
by German submarines on English shipping Of
all kinds These moves. each Of wide possibili-
ties. are essentially developments Of the modern
theory of war. All humanitarian principles are
abandoned in the effort TO hamper as far as pos
sible the military activities Of foe by interfer-
ing to the utmost with his source of energy
which lie food
In either instance the interests Of neutra,s
are totally ignored Neither Germany nor Eng
land is likely to spend much time at present in
pursuit OF solution that leads through the
mystifying ramifications OF international law:
the appeal to force is more direct and promising
Of more immediate results. Warfare in its APP
plication has taken on many aspects much at
variance with the doctrines so earnestly debated
at Hague conferences, and the warning nations
are apparently willing to leave to future con
ferences the determination OF the details and re-
flnements Of questions now summariy decided.
One little grain OF comfort may be found in
the present attitude of the belligerents. Their
course ought TO have the effect OF sooner ex-
hausting their resources and thereby shortening
the struggle.

publioity for School Appropriations.

While he does not disclose the exact purpose
OF his resolution for a special committee to have
charge OF the bills affecting education before the
legislature. the surface indications are that
Representative Taylor seeks to check possible
extravaganza In our various public schools
and maybe to curtail waste. II this Is his aim,
Il will be supported by the best thought OF the
state at large
In the past It has been the practice to make
lump appropriation for the support of the uni
versity and allied schools. the detail of appor-
tionment being left to the Board of Regents
The wisdom OF this course can not now be seri.
ously questioned, assuming that the lump sum
has been within proper bounds at all times. The
effect OF the practice has been to keep the great
educational institutions Of the state as free from
political influence as possible. II Is not at all
likely that any harm can result to either uni
versity OF normal schools TO have detailed state
ments OF expenditures made public. The people
are vitality concerned In these institutions and
are entitled to know to the fullest extent the
items that enter into their cost
Care must be taken. however, to avoid any
thing that will hamper the administration Of the
schools. The Regents must be given full au
thority for the proper maintenance and direc.
tion Of the institutions under their management.
Money spent 70 support educational institutions
is the best investment the people OF the state
can or do make. but II should be at all times
under such control as renders certain that It Is
being wisely and efficiently expended.

The Price Of Bread.

Master bakers are telling their troubles &c
the public. The mounting price OF wheat has
carried with Il the price OF flour. and, as result
the loaf is less In weight and higher in cos.
Thus is the effect OF the war brought to the
breakfast table In every American home. and to
the attention OF those who cat at hotels or
restaurants. An embargo the export Of food
SUITS Is asked as a preventive. but its efficacy
or expedency may be questioned The economic
truth that ia being driven home by the increase
in cost OF food products is that all civilization
must ultimately bear its share in footing the
bill for the present blaze OF military glory in
Europe. This result lie Inevitable and expedients
OF no sort can serve 70 eyade OF nulliy the opera
lions OF this law. IL will be well for our citizens
to keep this fact clearly in view when talking
of war or preparation for war. War is waste,
and ah must suffer when millions OF laboriously
accumulated wealth Is sent up in smoke or con
verted to ruins

Good Bill; Push It Along.

Among the good bills introduced into the
legislature at Lincoln is one presented by Repre-
sentative Palmer. which has the good object In
view to stop the absorption of naturalization fees
by the clerk OF the district court and to leave no
ground for further dispute about this form of
graft. Inasmuch as the bill is not yet available
In Its printed form. we must assume that It is
properly framed, and does not give away the
case in which our greedy district clerk is claim
ing a present right to pocket all naturalization
fee collections, amounting upwards to $1,000 or
$4,000.
1t has been a long fight TO set the limits
upon the fee grabbers, who. each time, after
solemnly taking official oath to uphold and obey
the laws, seek at once to evade them for their
own personal profit and force the taxpayers to
spend all sorts OF money for lawyers and court
costs to compel grating officials to disgorge the
public money they hold out, either as insanity
fees or naturalization fees. So with reference to
Representative Palmer's bill, we say push II
along, in order that the door will be closed
against future foe grabs, regardless whether the
courts stop tho pending treasury raid or not.

ident Of the American Federation OF
Labor, says; Close a brewery. a factory

Waterloo has built eight new factories
business buildings erected and seven less
vacant stores than when they had saloons
What has filled these buildings and
stores stores six meat markets six ciot6inS
stores, two shoe stores, four millinery
stores, six restaurants. three hotels. seven
barber shorE seven coal dealers. two
ers, three tailor shops. two harness and
saddlery shops, two photographers, etc.
Money formerly spent for booze spent
now IN honorable lines of merchandise.
Waterloo also built 1.135 houses and flats
and has tnirty-four more empty houses
than In 1912 An increase In population of
400 in two years. A noted decrease in
drunkenness, crime. poverty. vagrancy
and public expense. No increase In taxes
for city administration. Prohibition pro-
duces prosperity. Sign no more saloon
