Purse.strinr as Peace Promoter.

Before the outbreak OF the great European
war last year It was the commonly accepted
opinion that a handful OF international bankers
could head off any threatened conflict at arms
by merely saying the word that would shut off
the money supply No intelligent person be-
lieves the financiers caused, OF encouraged, or
stimulated. the war, although they have re-
sponded to the demands for loan flotation, nor
does anyone believe now that they could have
stopped 1t even with redoubled efforts But the
mammoth war debts that have been piling up,
and the colossal burden OF taxes to support them
that have been saddIed upon the people OF the
battling countries almost indefinitely. are arous-
ing the hope that the point may before long be
reached where the pressure OF the money market
will be a potential factor in expedting peace
negotiations The purse-string has more than
once determined the fate OF nations. and the
tightening OF the purse-string may yet call halt
on the fighting.

Law for the County treasurer.

One OF the most prolific. in Nebraska At
least. sources of litigation is the administration
OF the office OF county treasurer. Another de-
cision OF the supreme court in effect has just
been reverted by the granting OF a rehearing
with a modification Of the order issued. The
records OF Nebraska courts fairly bulge with
declsions on points that have TO do with the
details OF county treasury administration. These
should be coilated. together with the various
laws governing that office. and out OF them all
worked comprehensive statute that will plainly
mark out the duty of the county treasurer and
make It possible for the office to be admins
tered without continual application 70 the courts
for the determination OF technical details
The Importance Of the office is such as de-
mands the utmost care. and this fact has given
rise 10 the conditions that now ought to be
remedied by the eodificAton of all the laws and
the decisions rendered under them. such an
arraneement will make II possible for the county
treasurers to avoid confusion. and the public
business thereby win be reasonably and safely
expedited.

what /, WRONG with N. Ioh ,

The world is just now viewing with some
amazement the unusual sight OF two men de-
clining TO take public office to which regu-
lar salary is attached, and concerning the pay
ment OF which there is no doubt. People Of
Nebraska are not often entertained by such
spectacle. What is wrong with the JOB OF being
public defender in and for Douglas county? The
place was made for some brother learned in the
law, and at first was sought with much avidity.
Quite number OF young lawyers. whose office
carpet has not yet been worn out by the feet OF
an ever-shifting throng OF clients. looked upon
that $1,000 with eyes that cleaned at the pros
pect OF real meal ticket, but now the job has
been turned down by the governors fret and
second choice selections. Have they established
precedent which will control, as preeedents
always do at law. and will the place be left open
with its salary attachment resting undisturbed
in the public Golfers? Perish the thought
Some intrepid young barrister will yet make the
sacrifice. and grab the Job.
