Nepotism-Hit 1t Everywhere.

A bill has been introduced in the legislature
down at Lincoln designed TO prohibit the en-
ployment in a city of metropolitan class OF rela-
tives Of any commissioner or municipal depart
ment head. We ask the sponsor OF this meas
ure, Senator Dodge. why he aims only at city
employees? why does he not include employees
of the county board, the water board and of the
school board. Why does he not make his bill
general, 50 to hit at nepotism wherever II
seeks Judgement?
The Bee is heartily in favor OF putting IN
end to the nepotism graft anywhere and every
where, and of adopting as drastic measures
necessary to accomplish the object, but It has
favorites to play. To our mind putting
brothers. sisters or cousins on the public pay
roll is. just obnoxious and indefensible for
the county, school or water board payroll as for
the city payroll. Having one to protect o.
TO shield The Bee would not make part of the
city hall shelter for nepotism while driving

Stricken Italy

washington Post: Fortunately. a more
merciful and commiserative spirit binds
the sympathies Of the nations now than
in the fday when it was necessary to in
slst that there were other sinners in
Jerusalem than those upon whom the
tower OF Sloan fell. The quick response
OF king and people to local distress that
marked the occurrence of the more fear
full earthquake Of few years ago will
be repeated in the presence OF this latest
calamity.
New York World: The civilized world,
while regretting the dead in the earth
quake, may rejoice that Rome was
spared a worse visitation than by Goth
or Vandal. Italy herself will have cause
for satisfaction IL this "aot Of God" tips
the scale of indecision and keeps the ma
ton from going to needless war Her
calamity at home, with its havoc COM
parable to that Of war. Is enough TO en-
gage all her attention.
Chicago Tribune Italy is situated on
the firing line of the world. in one OF
the regions where the earth's shallow
shell seems still unduly frail and the
equilibrium of forces is often disturbed.
This is the price Italy pays for at least
a part Of her incompatible beauty and
romantic charm. The volcanic formation
Of her shores and hills has given her
landscape quality which is theirs alone.
The magic OF her peculiar atmosphere
and the treasures Of mans handiworl'
which the Italian genius has bestowed
upon her enhance and complete this, but
her singular and intensely characteristic
structure is the foundation and frame
work of her matchless beauty

auestion Of Dual Citizenship.


SHELTON. Neb., jap. 1s.-To the Edi-
tor Of The Bee: l thank you for your
notice of my letter in your editorial to-
day-"Altogether Unduly Alarmed'-but.
evidently. 1 did not make my meaning
clear to you. The main point in the
Literary Digest, TO which ! meant TO call
your attention, was the question of the
possibility of dual citizenship" on the
part OF German-Americans. ! wished to
ask you 10 express your views in an edi-
torial particularly with reference to that
question because OF its intimate bearing
upon the whole matter OF the neutrality
OF COMMUNICATIONS.
| did not intend to emphasize the aues-
ton Of the loyalty of German-Amerioans
to the United States. but the serious
probabilities resulting from dual citizen
ship in the relations OF German-Amer-
leans 20 the nations now at war with
Germany. especially England. / did not
wish to imply for one moment that there
was the least ground for suspicion that
any friction with Germany was imminent;
not in the least; but ! had in mind the
attitude OF German-Amerieans towards
the allies with whom Germany Is at war.
What I wished was your opinion as to
whether II is a fact or not fact that a
German-American can be at one and the
same time citizen OF the United States
and a subject OF the German emperor.
The article in the Digest seems to sug-
gest that he can. ] have not copy OF
the article at hand, or ! would quote IL,
but you probably have seen It.
l am sure that IL such dual citizen
ship is possible. you win admit that It
raises very serious questions, not only in
reference to other nations. but also, ana.
| perhaps, more particularly with reference
70 the United States. The fact that the
Literary Digest should take notice of the
matter would imply that the question is,
at least. debatable. Thanks for the
courtesy OF your attention to my former
letter JOHN r. BENNETT.

a Tip from south Omah a.

SOUTH OMAHA, Jan. 19.-To the Ed
itor of The Bee: There was an item in
The Bee last night which ought to make
South Omahans "sit up and take notice"
Especially those interested in the an
nexation question, I refer to the state
ment that there were eighty teams and
800 men at work removing the snow from
the streets Of Omaha. In South Omaha
not a shovelful of snow has been re-
moved by the city. The only place, even
on Twenty-fourth street, where a vehicle
can drive, is on the street car tracks
Not a crossing has been cleared, and we
must wade in snow from six to twelve
inches deep to get from the sidewalk to
a street car. Are there no idle men in
South Omaha, or has the city no funds
with which to hire this done. / have
been a taxpayer in this town for more
than twenty years and have paid a good
many hundreds of dollars into the city
treasury. Is it unreasonable to wish to
reap some benefit from it2 II We were
a part of Omaha, would we come in for
a share OF such benefits as this? II so,
We cannot be annexed too soon.

Bee I beg to most heartily commend
your editorial under the caption state
and Parent" II seems to me that you
have written treatise on the subject
in a short space, and have only to sug-
gest that you follow it up with an edi-
torial on the meaning of the word "juris-
diction."
The line Of demarcation that separates
an able jurist from mediocre one can
almost be determined by his intelligent
and far-reaohing grasp Of the meaning
OF that word care not which horn Of
the dilemma is taken, II the parent de-
sires TO release Jurisdiction Of the child
to the state It indicates condition that
should call for every energy of the state
TO retard. instead Of promoting, by as
Stunning the charge; and II the parent does
not so desire, from whence comes the
authority or right of the state to assume
such responsibility in the face Of the
natural right of the parent?
There Is but one answer and that Is
that the parent has no natural right over
the child paramount to the judgment
within or caprice, as the case may be, Of
the instant governing power, and this
answer no one is willing to accept.
As you suggest, we plunge ahead by
wedges and not in waves, and the front
wedge Instead of encouraging its tardy
companion, seeks to kill it,
In other words. we have forged ahead
with the state idea until we have for
gotten that the state cannot live without
the family. CARL E. HERRING.

PREDICTS JAPANESE PEACE.
Dr.. Minakuehi, Japanese Lecturer, Dis.
credits Iinooists and AGtators.

credits Jingoists and Asitators.
Japan does not want war with the
United States and has no money to
finance such a war if it should break
out These We're some of the state
ments with which jingoisr and agita-
tors both in the United States and
Japan were discredited by DR.. Yutaka
,Minakuchi, of Baltimore, in an ad-
dress before the Seachlight Club Fri
day night. Dr. Minakuchi's subject
was .In the Present War, Is Japan
Preparing For War With the United
States?"
1t was the first meeting of the club
in the new building, after long va
cation had interrupted the meetings OF
the club since before the holidays.
About 12S men took supper and re-
manned for the lecture.
DR.. Minakucni is an AmericaHizsd
and highly educated Japanese. He
takes scant stock in the war prophets
of his native country or the United
states who are repeatedly seeing mag
mary causes for Japanese conquest of
the Pacific or other portends OF war
between the two nations.
They were the yellow press and the
agitators in both countries, he said,
who were held in greater or less dis
repute by large majority OF the
population Of both nations.
Japan does not need territory, and
will not wage a war of conquest
against the United States. Since the
Russian war japan acquired Korea,
Manchuria, and F'ormosa, which gives
new territory for Japanese settlement.
Japan incurred billion dollar debt
in the Russian war. None OF it has
been paid yet.
The United states is Japan's best
customer, to make war on the United
States would be to destroy that mar
ket.
Japan is a protege of the United
states, knows it, and is proud Of the
fact.
These were some Of the reasons the
speaker gave why japan did not want
war with the United States. As
matter of fact he said, the relationship
between Japan and the United States
was on more friendly footing at this
time than ever before.
DIR. Minakuchi pointed to 230 years
of unbroken peace, prior TO the wars
with China and Russia, as proof that
Japan was peacs-iS-i:;g and good
neigl,her
Japan is possessed with an uncon-
querable spirit. but not with spirit
Of conquest !. he said. NO one, can
