lows:
Il have read the editorial opinions con-
cerning the sinking Of the Arabic. as
those opinions were reproduced in Sat
urday mornings papers, but they seem
to me to avoid the most important ques-
ton. The real question Is not whether
American citizens have, under interna-
tional law. a right to travel through the
danger zono on the ships Of belligerent
nations. That is admitted. The question
just now is whether an American citizen
should put his convenience or even his
rights above his nations welfare. If
American citizens refuse TO consider their
own safety or the safety Of nation. then
a second question arises, namely, whether
the government should permit a few per-
sons to drag the whole country into this

IIull eldlA CoIEecponuehNsJ
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 2S.-(Spe-
cial. Us Governor Morehesd and
other state officers holding office
without authority of law. is a ques-
tion which is being discussed on ac-
count of the ruling of Attorney Cen
eral Reed that because the members
of the railway commission have given
no bond, they have no right 10 hold
office and, therefore, their offices
are vacant.
II the Interpretation of the consti-
tuition -bE the attorney general is cor
rect, Governor Morehead has no au-
thority to appoint a new commission
and Lieutenant Governor James Pier
son of Morefield is the governor Of
Nebraska by succession and will have
the power to appoint a new commits
sion.
Basis of Reeds Opinion.
In his message to the governor the at
torney general based his grounds for his
opihiol BilliNlpahS vi oNtllon 80 VI
Article Of the constitution which reads:
THE officers mentioned in this article
shall give bonds in not less than double
the amount of money that may come into
their hands and in no case less than the
sum of $4,000, with such provisions as to
sureties and the approval thereof and for
the increase of the penalty of such bonds,
as may be prescribed by law"
The officers alluded to In the above
section are named In Section ! OF the
same article and are the governor.
lieutenant governor, secretary of state.
auditor, treasurer, superintendent, attor-
ney general and land commissioner. An
amendment to the constitution a few
years ago made the three members OF the
State Railway commission also elective
officers and the code committee which
prepared the statutes placed the amended
section under the head of executive Of
ficers in Article 8. designating the para
graph as Section '19A."
Consultation Amended.
However. the proposition which sub
mitted the amendment to the people for
vote did not amend tho article. but
amended the cosstitution, so that II Is
claimed that the new matter in tho con-
stltution Should not have been inserted
under the executive head, but at the end
OF the constitution.
However, the appearance OF the railway
commission amendment does not come
into the proposition of the validity OF the
bonds given by the governor. secretary
OF state and treasurer. Under the read
ing of that section of the constitution the
said state officers must give a bond in
double the amount Of money coming into
their hands.
The last biennial reports OF the differ
ent state officers show that the governor,
as dairy, food and oil commissioner. re-
