More Proof Of unreadiness.

When the question Of our national unreadiness
for defense was seriously preached as topic for
public debate year ago, much Of consolation was
derived In . secret way from the reflection that
the War department knew thing or two 1t did
not make public. Some facts developed In con.
nection with the recent mobilization of the Ma
tional Guard has proven that this was true. 1t
has also shown the reasons for the silence of the
war Office II knew lot Of things It isn't proud
OF, knowledge OF which does not raise US In the
estimation OF the world. When the Nebraska
soldiers were In camp at Lincoln, supplies sent
from the ST. Louis warehouse for their use were
rejected, because the blankets, shoes and stock
ings were Of an inferior quality. Over in Iowa
complaint is made that secondhand uniforms
were issued, torn and buttonless trousers and the
like, being among the articles. Now comes re-
port from Camp Dodge that piow shoes Of all
the eolors OF the rainbow are being issued to the
men under arms, in lieu Of the regular army shoe.
1t was not alone in the matter Of guns and similar
arms we were short, but we can not supply cloth
ing for the hundred thousand men we have called
out. What would have happened II Mr.. Bryan's
million had presented themselves for equipment
It is high time our War department VI D being
overhauled and placed on serviceabe Basis.

Nebraska and the /. w. w.

Nebraska is just now having its first real ex-
perience with the l. w. W., the outcome of which
is to be determined. Other western states have
been visited and more or less disturbed by this
band Of migratory irresponsibles, whose inverted
system Of social economy makes them problem
as well as nuisance. Ordinary treatment, such
confinement or repression has little effect upon
them other than to invite further vistations. Be-
cause Of this the remedy for them is not easy,
but our peace officers may be depended upon to
see that order is maintained and the law sup
ported. Men with constitutional grudge against
all society, although not easily dealt with, must
not be permitted to overturn all that man has ac-
complished. Nothing really serious has developed
in connection with the /, w. w. in Nebraska,
but the presence Of these men itself is menace,
and the authorities must be vigilant.,

Worth While Publicity.

1t is the exceptional that attracts attention
and it is doing something out Of the ordinary
that brings publicity. Witness this fragrant bou-
quet thrown by Golfers Weekly at our little sis
ter city Of Council Bluffs under the caption
"Sightliness and Safety" l#e...
The east talks with pride of its White Ways,
but at Council Bluffs, Ia, the lamp posts per-
form the added service Of supporting flower
boxes filled with noddng blossoms. And mir
rors on the trolley cars enable the motormen
to see the car steps without having to turn.
When you've made city streets at once safer
and more beautiful, you've done more than to
fill EN- with taxicabs and freak fashions.

A Glittering Opportunity

That this country will play new part and
that il will be part Of increased responsibilities,
the president has assured u.s. He has spoken OF
the United States as land Of equality and Of
Justice.
What increased responsibilities signify Is
shown at Washington. There every day millions
ire added to the cost OF government. There at
;ention is paid only to the multiplication table.
Soon we shall have q two billion dollar
country. There is no longer talk OF retrench-
ment Not word now Is heard OF government
economically administered. That sort OF talk
seems to have become obsolete.
Some Of the increased responsibilities are
financial. In land Of equality and OF justice no
distinctions are drawn. The burdens to be borne
are borne by ALL 4
Congress has seen ct to draw distinctions II
has seen fit to relieve some at the expense Of
others. In the matter Of the income tax It has
seen 1T to create privileged class.
There could be no better text for the president
who Is lover Of fair play and who cannot recon
sile himself 70 inequality and injustice. He knows
what democracy means.
Also, what II does not. 1t does not mean that
there shall be immunity for the many at the ex-
pense Of the few. 1t does mean that all bene-
fciaries shall pay in proportion to their means
"A II is glittcring text None could excel the
president il his treatment thereof. None could
more scornfnliy repudiatc an effort to make him
tke Beneficiary Of injustice at the polls.

Revivinr the Submarine Issue.

Threats heard in the House OF Commons that
Great Britain expects to make paramount issue
out of the Deutschland ordinarily would have no
weight, but existing circumstances warrant giving
the address of Lord Robert Cecil some considera-
ton. This is not the first time since the begin
ming Of the war the British cabinet has sought to
influence the action Of the United States on an
issue raised by the war Controversy over inter-
ference with neutral traffic Is already sharp, and
the immediate matter Of interference with mails
has been brought to the attention Of King
Georges ministry in plain terms. Should the
minister of war trade, or the foreign minister,
seize upon the incident Of the appearance in an
American harbor OF submersble merchant YES
sci as = pretext for threatening reprisals of any
sort, they would show 4 capacity for laundering
even greater than has been credited to them.
His British majesty's cabinet should keep in
mind that it was the firm insistence Of the United
States on observance OF neutral rights and inter-
national law that brought the modification in the
German submarine campaign. The advantage Of
this to British commerce need not be specified.
The only possible effect Of charges against the
United States in connection with the Deutschland
would be to ALLEVIATE the moral support of large
percentage of our people, whose sympathes have
been with the Entente Allies, but whose sense OF
justice will not permit them to accept everything
proposed by the British government.
Efforts to force this country into an unneutral
position are unworthy Of the British. Lord Grey's
reply to the note on the mail question 10 overdue,
and patience with his dilatory course will not be
improved by evasion or an attempt to revive the
submarine issue.

Tariff Commission Not on the Square.

Are the democrats on the square with the tariff
commission proposal incorporated in their new
revenue bill All their previous actions would
indicate that they were not, II the democrats
sincerely favored tariff commission they need
partisan tariff board started under the preceding
republican administration. II the old tariff board
did not suit them the democrats could easily have
reconstructed 1t when they enacted their Under
wood tariff law. Yet, they not only did nothing
Of the kind but they continued to dscountenance
and discredit the idea Of tariff making by advice
Of nonpartisan experts until now, when they sud
denly reverse In the belief that they can make
political capital by pretending to favor the tariff
commission plan.
That it is all mere pretense we now have the
proof in the boost given the new revenue measure
in Mr. Bryan's Commoner over his name THE
tariff commission" he says, pleases certain ele-
ment and does no harm. Its tendency is to post
pone change in rates and that is at present de-
irable." Mr.. Bryan here lets the cat out Of the
bag for, II 1T peases certain element and does
no HARM" Il Is intended to do no good. Its pur-
pose is, as he confesses merely to provide an ex-
cuse for delay and to fool the people into thinking
that they are to have scientific tariff revision from
the democrats. No fairly informed person can
be convinced that tariff that will build up
American industries In all parts Of the country is
attainable through political party wholly Sec
tiona in ito control and interests as Is the south
ridden democratic party. The only way to get
an effective tariff commission Is by restoring the
republicans to power.
