Mr.. Wilson has informed Germany
that American citizens are not to be
deprived of their use of the seas in the
prosecution of their lawful pursuits.
He demands that submarine attacks on
merchant ships, because Of the impos-
sibility of safeguarding the lives of
their passengers and crew, shall cease.
failing which, the Government of the
United States cannot be expected "to
omit any word or any act necessary to
the performance of its sacred duty of
maintaining the rights of the United
States end its citizens and of safe
guarding their free exercise and en-
joyment. I"
He recites the sinking of the Falaba
and the Gulflight and the attack on the
Cushing IN the list of wrongs suffered
by this Government. They differ only
in degree from that inflicted in the des-
truction Of the Lusitania. To Germany
he leaves the problem of reparation,
the while making it plain that express
sions Of regret and offers of financial
compensation will not constitute repair
alton.
The quarrel between Germany and
England is not of our making. Its
prosecution, as long as American rights
are not interferred with, is not the Of
fetal concern of the American Govern.
ment. But those rights have been in.
terfered with and are threatened with
further interference. Under these
conditions, the American note has beer

CLOUDS.

I had a friend when l was down.
And everything seemed rotten,
And all the blessings l had known,
Had long since been forgotten.
When crops were tad and eggs were
scarce
And pigs got in the clover,
Who came and leaned against my fence
And cheerfully looked over,
And with a SNUG smile full OF glee,
And whistle aggravating,
Regaled me with tho maxim terso,
In tone exasperating:
Remember that behind the clouds
The sun is always shining,
And clouds OF life as well as sky
Have each their silver lining"
oh. then had fierce desire
To seize upon n missile.
And end his cNhortation
With the stopping of his whistle,
But with a sickly smile I said,
All platitudes eschewing,
That all depends upon the point
From which you do your viewing.
And also It depends upon
The way the clouds inclinng.
IT'S doubtless true. my clouds to YOU
May have a silver lining,
But silver Innings do not show
To those directly under,
They may be there: I do not know,
To me they look like thunder"

Report on the Colorado Strike.

The report Of the house committee appointed
TO inquire into the causes and progress Of the
strike OF the coal miners in Colorado comes
rather late the strike has been settled, but is
still Of interest because of its statements, criti-
clsms and recommendations. For the most
part. the criticism OF the committee is directed
against the militia OF Colorado for its conduct
when called into the field Instead Of seeking
TO establish and preserve law and order, the
committee reports the militia became an active
agent OF the coal mining companies. II is
pointed out that the organized forces Of the
state should be used to protect all citizens alike,
which was not done in Colorado.
The committee finds that Colorado's mining
laws are good, but not obeyed by the mining
companies Employment of private guards. and
posting OF notices that turn incorporated towns
into private preserves, is condemned by the re-
port as certain to provoke trouble. The absen-
tee owners OF these mines cannot evade moral
responsibility for what is done in their name by
managers on the ground.
In conclusion, regardless of the sanctity OF
states rights so dear to the democratic heart
the committee recommends:
II should DO the duty of the government to assist
any states In settling dispute that lie wide
in it's scope: and II any federal law be enacted
that will help not only Colorado but other state
that may be similarly situated It is the duty OF
sary laws that such Industrial disturbances may

Regulating the oJitney. y


Recognition OF the "jtney bus" as a factor
in the problem OF urban transportation brings
with 1t the necessity OF fixing the responsibility
of the machine in It's dealings with the public.
Much OF it's success is due to the fact that the
jitney is not restricted in its operations by con-
ditions that bind the trolley companies. such as
fixed routes. for example. Its ability to operate
Independently gives the jitney decided advan-
tage in the competition for nickels.
Los Angeles where the jitney had its birth
lie taking steps for its control, by requiring that
operators under license bind themselves TO fol-
low established routes, to pay a proper license
fee, and to otherwise come under regulations
that rightly apply to the control of common car
riers. These steps are taken, not for the pur-
pose OF limiting the service the jitney may per-
form for the public but to assure the public that
that service will be performed under safe con-
ditions as far as possible.
In Omaha the service Of the jitney, while
plainly appreciated by the public, has not yet
reached the stage where II can be considered a
serious factor in city life. Yet the possibility of
development suggests that we must look ahead
70 its proper regulation. II will be easier to
apply necessary rules now, and will be better for
both operators and public.

OF the Commercial club is to be taken for an
expression OF sentiment on the electric light bill
pending in the legislature. The club has a resi-
dent membership OF over 1900 representative
business and professional men who It is hoped
will all respond. The unfortunate part OF a
referendum OF this kind is that It requires those
voting to take the measure just as It is drafted.

prefer to have il first amended. We have no
doubt, for example, that IL a straw ballot could
be had on divorcing the proposed municipal
lighting plant from politics, it would be
practically unanimous, with no one against it

Partisan Politics at Lincoln.


The democrats now assembled at Lincoln
seem to have eyes fixed on something that lies
beyond the immediate business that concerns
them as legislators. Instead OF giving their at
tention to the framing OF statutory laws for
Nebraska, they are busy with the politics of the
future and more intent the campaign of
1916 than on the bill calendar OF 1915.
On no other grounds is it possible TO ac-
count for the suddenly manifested determine
tion to settle the controversies along party lines
without regard to the merits OF the questions
involved. Refusal TO permit proper discussion
Of the Lanigan resolution in the house indicates
a purpose TO make political capital If possible
out of the disagreement between the Railway
commission and the attorney general This. in
itself, is but tempest in a teapot but Is being
magnified into a veritable tornado OF partisan
fury by the democrats.
The best interests of the people OF Nebraska
call for cooperation OF all their officers, and
are not served by the purblind partisan zeal
now being exhibited at the capital.

OMAHA. March 2.-To the Editor of

splendid financial condition, and that IL

To meet this situation taxes were
raised from TO 20 per cent. How would
the taxpayers IN Nebraska like an in
crease Of taxation which would neces-
ssrily follow prohibition? Now, since
Russia's Industries arc almost entirely
phrayzed, the increase OF 50 per cent in
taxation yields scarcely any additional
revenue, compelling the government to
make fresh loans, notwithstanding the
fact that the Russian. paper ruble has

are not entirely dry. That the prisons
IN Russia arc empty is not due TO a
moral Improvement. but simply TO the
fact that the prisoners have nearly all
been put into the army. and the reason
why there are less fires is that fact
that all incendiaries have gone the same
