Put plainly and simply the rights of
nations are only the rights Of individ-

any other country to insist that the
ocean is closed to traffic while she and
other nations are at war Is as though
two warning farms should close the
highways and deny the right Of the
public to use them in the ordinary
business and traffic of the time. The
ocean is the natural and only path Of
communication between the commercial
nations which it divides. 1t belongs to
all and should be free to all and the
United States should firmly insist on
the Tiisht of American commerce To the
common highway undisturbed by
exigencies and desperation of con-
fict in which this country has neither
part nor national interest.

KENYONS INTERVIEW.
TNevada Renresentatiye


Senator Kenyon il an interview In
the Fort Dodge Messenger takes oc-
casion to express his confidence in the
candidacy of Senator Cummins for
president and at the same time to in
dictate his desire not to be considered
a candidate for the place Of delegate
at-large 10 the national convention.
Concerning the senator's endorsement
Of his colleagues candidacy there has
at no time been any question and his
willingness to be counted out in the
matter of delegate is in our Judgment
a manifestation of good sense. There
is in such cases often a disposition to
make up the national delegation large
IN of men who already hold positions
of prominence in public life and some
expressions Of this disposition have
been noted heretofore in this state with
respect to the coming choice Of dele
gates. We believe such disposition to
be unfortunate, and we are glad to see
Senator Kenyon relieve the pressure
so far as he is concerned. The point
in the matter is aside from all ques-
tons Of personal ambition with re-
spect to places on the delegation and
relates to the effectiveness of the Iowa
showing at the convention. In the
work of a delegation that is trying to
cover the ground in behalf of a state
candidate there is need OF as large a
force of good politicians as possibly
can be gotten together, and insomuch
as the politicians SO engaged are neces-
sarily dealing in, by far the greater
part, with men whom they know and
by whom they are known only by repu.
tation, it becomes important that they
nave credentials that viii command
for them attention. Now United
States senator or congressman from
Iowa has the necessary credentials by
virtue Of his office, and when he is in
troduced as such official nothing
more needs to be said in behalf OF his
title to talk for Iowa and for Iowa in
terests. But with the on-oficial
worker it is different. If he 10 dele
gate, he is at once known to represent
somebody and something; but II he
has no credentials of any sort, he has
to butt in where otherwise his coun-
sells might be invited, and when he
talks, his listeners append a question
mark to his remarks. Hence the utter
unwisdom. where a great Tight Is to be
made, OF piiing up honors for any
body. The junior senator, every re-
publican congressman and every high
official OF the state ought to be at the
convention, with the authority of his
position and with the assured indorse-
ment of his constituency. lending his
cooperation in the convention cam
paign. and along with them there
should be as delegates the best bunch
OF unofficial workers that It shall be
possible to certify up as representa-
tives of the state in this matter. Sen
ator Kenyon az an example. is man
of high standing; but just as con-
vention factor he is not equal to two
men OF high standing, himself being
one OF the two. He does not need the
credentials of delegate and the other
man does. Hence he is right in pro-
posing to go to the convention as
|senator and in letting the other man
go as a delegate. And his expression
should be taken in the spirit in which
1t IL made.

The difference between the entry Of

THE NOTE TO GREAT BRITAIN.

The American government has ad-
dressed note to Great Britain serving
notice that British assumption of the
right to annoy and seize American
commerce must cease. It is a note too
long delayed but of which it may be
said that it is better late than never"
Great Britain is informed that her as
sumption of a general blockade is "in-
effective. Illegal and indefensible" and
warned TO keep her hands off American
cargoes destined to neutral countries.
1t is a protest that should be followed
up as sternly as that made to Germany
over the sinking of passenger ships.
international law Is defective Sena-
tor Cumnlins assured the Searchlight
club in his recent appearance before it
that international law has not been
amended or changed Importantly since
Grotius laid it down 300 years ago.
But one point is plain; commerce be-
tween peaceful nations has a right to
exist upon the high seas without inter-
ference and without subordination to
the warfare which may be in progress
between other nations.
We should lay down as an estab-
lished point OF action that all the world
is not to stand idle while two or more
nations fight out quarrel in which
neutral nations have no stake; that
the high seas belong to the worlds
commerce and that the ocean roads
are free between nations at peace with
each other. So much as general
principle.

United States Il should DO clearly

American ships properly cleared from

1HoRHs's PROPOSED PROMOTION

Iowa is not unlikely to lose Clifford
Thorne from her board of railroad
commissioners thru the request from
the National Association Of Railroad
Commissioners that Thorne take
charge Of the valuation bureau to be
established by the association with
headquarters at Washington. The
salary the position carries with it will
De somewhere between $4,000 and
$4,000 a year The duties of the
bureau will be to advise and consult
with the interstate commerce COM
mission in the valuation of railroads
body.
The state Of Iowa has been most
fortunate in keeping Mr. Thorne in its
service at salary of $4,000 or of
$4,000. Thorle is an expert in railway
matters, such an expert as would be
worth $4,000 year to any large
railway corporation. Presumably the
main reason that Thorne hasn't been
working for railroad corporations at a
big salary is that he preferred to work
Tor the people at the lower rate. Now
that he has the opportunity to carry
on the work to which his peculiar
talents fit him and for the people at a
salary more nearly commensurate with
his ability it seems quite likely that
he may choose to accept the pro-
motion
Thorne is a national figure. He made
himself SO when he met the best the
railroads could produce from presi-
dents to corporation counsel and estab-
lished the fact that he was more than
their equal in information and capacity
to unravel and understand the complex
puzzle Of freight rates. 1t would xJha
