SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

The exports of wooden clothing
from the United States last year
were more than double those of 1913.
New factories in and around Chi
,cago whose construction was an
n0unced in a single week will en-
ploy more than 5000 men, and SINH
lar reports come from every indus
trial district.
Companies have been formed and
preliminary work begun to utilize
the potash deposits of Utah, as we'll
as those of California.
> Some of the largest and hitherto
most unreconciled manufacturers in
the country admit that President
Wilson nas set the example in dis
playing a friendly and sympathetic
attitude toward the industrial and
trade interests of the country
DO these things mean hard times?
Are they the sort of news that filled
the papers when that paragon OF
passing prosperity round Theo-
dore Roosevelt, was hectoring the
universe from the presidential chair
in 1907? Does not every sign, on the
contrary, point to period OF pros

disastrous war, and sure to rise TO
splendid heights when that struggle
is over?-Chicoga Journal.

how much of the earnings We're

Bush of the Missouri Pacific rushed
into print to deny that such thing
as lobby had been maintained.
What is a Lobby?
In discussing the case before the
commission Mr.. McCaull suggested
that one of the definitions given in
the unwritten manual governing leg
islative bodies was as follows: "A
lobby-One who gets what he goes
after" And he stated to the commits
sion that if the railroads were stand
ing on that definition then probably
they could prove an alibi when accus-
ed of maintaining lobby. The hear

PRIVATE BANKS WIN.

The senate by decisive vote kill
ed the Jones bill to regulate "pri-
vate' banks. 1t had been hoped that
legal protective restrictions would be
placed upon these by this legislature
but the large majority against the
Jones bill indicates that no such ac-
ton is to be expected Of the senate.
Just why is like those conundrums
of Lord Dundreary, something no
Teller can find out" There is certain
~ no good reason why the 'pri-
vate' bank should be granted i'm
munity from regulation and inspec-
ton and there is certainly no public
sentiment to grant private" bankers
privileges denied to state and nation
al banks. Neither does the history
of private banking suggest that the
private" bank has earned any such
immunity.
1t would be at least interesting,
whatever it's value, to know just what
grounds and arguments led the SEN
ate to it's conclusion against regula
ton of the private" bank
Senator Jones of Montgomery, at
tributed the defeat of the measure
to the same old crowd of private
bankers" that had prevented regula-
ton of private banks for twenty
years. Senator Foskett made the as
sertion that fund to be used to
prevent legislation adverse to their
interests had been maintained for
years by the private bankers.
That the use of money in any lille
Ultimate way had anything to do with
the defeat of the bill is not to be
credited or given serious attention.
Nobody believes anything of that
sort, including the senator who made
the statement. How much personal
appeal by private bankers affected
the measure is another question. 1t
would be strange if few individuals
who wish to take deposits and bor-
row money under the title of ''bank"
could influence vote so emphatic
against interference with their de-
sires.
OF course the house had turned
down a similar bill but the senate
has not been particularly mindful of
the action of the house during this
session.
So a true analysis of the reason
the senate seems to be so strongly
against private bank regulation
would be informative at least

GREAT SEASON FOR PLANTING.

There never was finer spring for
blowing and planting than this.
Farmers who mean to increase their
acreage of crops, especially of spring
wheat, have found the season as
close to their wishes as if they had
ordered it beforehand from the
weather man.
If the favorable weather condi-
tons last till the crop is harvested,
American agriculture will break an
other record, for even though prices
may not hold at their present level
they are fairly sure to be higher
than for some years past Europe's
demand for grain is and for some
time to come must be very great, so
great that probably even the open
ing of the Dardanelles and the re-
lease of the Russian crop will not
gl'It the market.
The international Harvester Co.
seems to think the American farmer
has good times coming, for within
the past few weeks that company has
almost doubled its working force
Had this been done during a republi-
can administration, the world would
have rung with the great news. Hap
pening in a democratic year, very
little is said about it, but it's signifi-
canoe is the same.
One by one, the calamity howlers
ar getting tired of bucking against
prosperity. May WEAKNESS overtake
them fast.-Chicago Journal.

SMITH GETS LEON POSTOFFICE.

Despite bitter protests from the
great body of democrats of Leon, the
president, on recommendation OF
Postmaster General Burleson, today
reappointed as recess appointee Mrs.
Caroline Y. Smith as postmaster OF
Leon Her appointment was urged
BY the state democratic organization,
chiefly by Marshal Reed and State
Chairman Reynolds. Protests of a
strong sort were made against her,
alleging she was republican and a
nOn-resident-Reg and Leader.
The above is only another of the
many rotten deals pulled off by the
wreckers of the democratic party in
Iowa, and who control the state
organization. There must be some
thing wrong with the line up in
Washington when such man as Nick
Reed can influence it.-Greenfeld

CALAMITY HOWLERS.

In 1898 when corn was worth ten
cents a bushel at the country rail-
road stations and it cost twelve cents
q bushel to ship it to Chicago, when
politicians organized strings of banks
and got what little money the people
bao and then busted" there were
good grounds for calamity bowling,
and the bowling had effect, but in
this year when No. 8 yellow corn is
selling in Omaha for SO cents and
can be shipped to Chicago for a small
fraction over six cents bushel, when
every bank in the state is perfectly
sound with plenty of money to loan
at low rates, the state banks having
a guarantee fund to make all depos-
itors perfectly safe, the situation is
entirely different.
AS to the country at large Brad
streets says: Export trade at flood,
began, less employment, iron and
steel capacity greater, copper mines
on full time, crop conditions good
and failures fewer" that give no
more reason for calamity bowling
than can be found in the reformed
state of Nebraska where building is
greater than ever before and where
merchants are doing more than a
normal business.
Some one should take these gentle
mer to one side and explain to them
that calamity bowling for which
there is no basis, can only injure the
'howlers, and that if they keep at it
it will not be long before the cartoon
list will get after them and the whole
country will begin laughing at them.

NEBRASKAN HURRYNG TO

New York, May es.-When the
Nebraskan was struck she was in reality
hurrying to her home port for the United
States government to whom she had been
chartered to carry coal from Norfolk to
San Francisco.
Shipping men here were AMAZED when
they received the news and Immediately
asked why a German submarine would
torpedo an American vessel which was
homeward bound and in ballast. 1t Is adj
mitted that she carried war cargo to
Liverpool for the Atlantic Transport Line,
but that she again became a neutral ves-
sci when she had discharged her cargo.
Her name and nationality were painted
in large letters on both sides Of her
hull and it is felt that there was no
justification for attack unless 1t was
made while she was carrying a war car
go for England.

declined to discuss the incident until
they have received full particulars. At
the present time their only Information
is contained in a cable which arrived
here from Capt. Green, master of the
Nebraskan.
The vessel is steel twin screw steam
er of 2.s24 tons; 1863 feet in length. and
rs feet beam. She was built in 1902 by
the New York Ship Building Company at
Camden. n. J., and was the first Ameri-
can ship to pass through the Panama

gust last year.
