DON'T KNOW THEIR PROBLEMS

To the Editor Of EUonin1 Ledger:
Sir-What n beautiful theme this makes
IL possible. 1t Is surprising that these
honorable personages who make up this
peace party have not yet realized that
their attempt to approach the belligerents
at this time may be met with cool
response of KINDLY mind your own
business" and truthfully 1t would serve
them right.
Why cannot Americans some day see
that, though we have the dollar patriot
ism. there are other nationalities whose
patriotism is not counted by money. but
honor. satls faction and love of country,
which money cannot buy?
DO you know what It is to have waited
20, ~ or 10 years, and prepar arationS made.
In order to get satisfaction, no matter
what the cost or sacrifice is?
Well, that is the condition at the pres
ent in Europe. Both sides have been
working for this very object, ana every
Individual knew when the time came II
was his turn. There may be one eN-
ception in nationality, but they are cX-
cuscd because, they realized, they were
so perfectly safe that no one could at
tack them, but they are waking up to
the facts which are occurring at the
present. Civilization has its champions.
and each in his own way hcralds his
own as the best. Sometimes there are
rival civilizations, and when they be-
come powerful and desire to dominate
then the conflict must be such as the
Surviving of the ft:est."
Such are the conditions There exist
two civilizations in Europe. In America
we have another kind, which Is diametri-
cally opposite to both of the European
civilizations and would be absolutely re-
jected II offered to Europe at any time.
Do these gentlemen who want to form
n peace congress at the present time
have any idea what IL was In 1871 when
Bismarck dictated terms of peace at
Versailles to the French representatives,
NJ. Theirs, Gambctta and General Trochu?

JUSTICE HUGHES WARNS
NEBRASKA SECRETARY
Notifies Official He Will Not Be Can
-didate at Coming Presidential -
q Primary.

Associate Justice Hughes of the Su-
preme Court today notified the secre-
tary of state of Nebraska he would not
be a candidate at the coming presi-
Dental primary election, and requested
ballot.
There are differences of opinion in
political circles here as to the tech
Inical effect of the declination. The
attorney general of Nebraska has
been quoted as saying Justice Hughes
could not withdraw his name from
the primary ticket. On the other hand,
Nebraskans in Washington contend
to withdraw. The difference arises
over the point of whether the declina-
ton privilege incorporated in the pri-
mary election law of Nebraska applies
to the presidential preference primary.
1t Is believed that the secretary Of
the declination, will lay the matter be-
fore the attorney general for opinion,
and that this opinion will be decisive
Of the case. 1t is not believed that the
courts would be asked to review the
Interpretation of local law, given by
the attorney general
The nominating petition stated that
Justice Hughes name was filed abso-
Iutely without his knowledge, and that
while the petitioners were aware he
was opposed to any consideration of
his name as a candidate, they were
convinced that the welfare of the ma
ton, in it's broadest sense, demands
the drafting of it's highest and most
available talent to lead in the ap-
preaching contest for the triumph Of
republican principles, and the
emergency demands resort to con-
acription."
