STATE PROHIBITION MEASURE
TO COME BEFORE LEGISLATURE
CONTROLLED BY REPUBLICANS

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Nov. TO-
State wide prohibition will be per.
haps the big fight at the coming ses.
sion Of the Indiana legislature. The
Anti-Saloon League is making pre-
parations to wage hard fight for
such legislation. and officials Of that
organization say they are very Opti-
mistic and they express the belief that
they will be able to put It over in the
legislature.
T.. S. Shumaker, state superintend-
ent of the Anti-Saloon League, said
that the temperance forces will go
to it, and that they will do their best
to make Indiana dry by legislative
enactment. The Anti-Saloon League
will take the lead In this effort, and It
will be the federating force that will
lead the temperance people in their
fight to drive the liquor business out
of the state. In this regard the lea
has taken in behalf Of prohibition
legislation throughout the country.
Will Introduce Gill
II is said that bill for state wide
prohibition will be introduced as soon
as the legislature convenes in Jan
uary and that it will be pushed with
vigor. The AntiSaloon League fore
es have made careful estimates OF the
probable lineup Of wet and dry forces
In the legislature among the members
that have been elected, and they be-
lieve they are on the safe side and
that prohibition will win by safe
margin. Who will introduce the prOhi-
bition bill Is not yet known, but 1t is
said that the hope is to have the bill
make its appearance in some manner
that will take all partisan character
out of 1t. The endeavor will be to
prevent the fight for prohibition from
assuming a party aspect, so that mem.
bers of all parties may support it.
The fact that prohibition appears
to be sweeping the country surely
and steadily is one OF the encourag-
ing features to the Anti-Saloon Lea
que workers in Indiana. Michigan,

British Blacklist Sharply Resented.


The note from the United States to Great
Britain on the subject Of the backlisting Of GER
tain domestic firms 10 written In such plain terms
as must make the cabinet Of London pause. The
possible effect Of the blacklist on the relations
between the countries, well exposed heretofore is
now made plain by official communication. The
intimation Of the British government that neutral
business must be subject to its pleasure is an as
sumption beyond endurance. The United States
can not put up with this unwarranted interference
with the affairs Of its citizens. We have been very
patient with England from the first, dealing mildly
with It's regulation Of sea traffic, its ntercepton Of
mails, and It's other annoying practices, realizing
the unusual conditions that have developed from
the novelties introduced in the present war. But
this should not be accepted as in any way con-
senting to the adjustment OF all the rights Of
neutrals. The blacklist encroaches entirely too
far on the rights Of American citizens, and II per-
sisted in can not fail to have unpleasant effects.
1t 10 hardly to be expected that John Bull will
gracefully retire from his position, but his present
policy is such as will affect not only the present
situation but will leave much to be Strengthened
out after peace has been restored.

Sundays Record Of Mishaps.

An unusually long list OF disasters is recorded
in the diary for Sunday, which day has come be an
occasion on which many mishaps are looked for

shocked because Of the peculiarly tragic nature Of
an accident near the city These events should
serve to emphasize the need Of greater care
among pleasure seekers, All watchfulness must
not be thrown aside in the exatation of the mo-
ment Of enjoyment, however natural the relaxa-
ton may be, for modern merrymakns is attended
by too much Of everpresent danger. Joy 10 quickly

Changing MISUNDERSTANDING Platforms.


The Omaha Double-Header. which can go both
ways at once. says the president has right to
change his mind Indeed, he has, and The Bee
has already congratulated him on some alterations
he has reached, after seeing newlight 1t is not
this faculty Of the president, thNugh, that lumi
mates the duplicty Of the democratic party. The
St. Louis platform reaf6rms and endorses the
Baltimore platform, the principal planks Of which
were discarded by the president. The Nebraska
democratic platform endorses both the Baltimore
and the St, Louis platforms, which do not agree
with each other. nor with what the party has
actually done,
The Underwood tariff bill, shining example
OF the incompetence Of the democratic party, is
praised Unfortunately in the St. Louis and Hastings
platforms but never a word Is said about the
amendments to that law, adopted by the present
congress, forced by the absolute failure OF the
measure to provide revenue or foster commerce.
The president admits he was driven to the adop-
ton Of the protective principle by practical ap-
plieation Of the free trade idea embodied In the
Underwood bill. This is only one Of the many
weaknesses Of the measure the democrats profess
so ardenty to admire.
The outburst OF our esteemed contemporary
again raises the question, Can a democrat be
serious in anything save his inordinate desire to

Mr.. Hughes Speech Of Acceptance.

The speech OF Mr.. Hughes formally accepting
the republican nomination for president, should
end all complaints about his silence" on vital
issues even by those who disagree with the stand
he takes. No one not blunted by prejudice can
deny that he possesses mastery use OF English
with which he expresses himself Enthusiastically,
and that he has the courage Of his convictions
and knows no straddling
The acceptance speech naturally follows along
the lines laid down by the republican national
platform which the candidate CONSTITUTES and
adopts as his declaration Of faith. There is moth
ing in the platform that he sdesteps or evades.
In some instances notably his unqualified cham
pionship of votes for women and his advocacy
Of peaceful adjustment OF labor disputes, he takes
a step beyond the platform declaration and with
reference to the conservation Of the just inter-
ests Of labor, his watchword, Cooperation, not
exploitation" is particularly apt
All the way through the speech the viewpoints
and policies outlined are intensely national and
constructive. On the other hand, neither Is in
cisveness wanting in the indictment Of the in
competency and inefficiency OF the democratic
administration Mr.. Hughes is not only declaring
what he will do as president, but he points out
the sins Of omission and commission ehargeable
to President Wilson with forcefulness that must
awaken the public to sense Of the need for
change The Wilson weakness for mere words in
its European diplomacy, its disastrous fiascos in
Mexico, its failures to perform according to prom
ises at home, these, in his arragnment, are un-
snswerable reasons that call for restoration of
republican control in our national affairs.
To help accomplish this patriotic purpose Mr..
Hughes has responded to the call Of his party.
His acceptance speech will prove one OF the
strong appeals OF the campaign.

ENGLAND rri.. to Run United Slater.

Council Bluffs. Ia. July 3l.-To the Editor
of The Bee; l see by the names Of blacklisted
firms In this country, all American concerns,
that England has showed her last hand. To be
the ruler Of the world? This has all been
brought about for having a man at the head
Of the country, who is o-English. This has
been shown from the beginning In his antag-
onism to Germany and his friendly attitude
to England. His warlike letter to Germany
on the U-boat and other affairs, and his
friendly letters to England.
Germany as manly nation. met every
demand that Mr.. Wilson asked, and then
beat out England. When Mr.. Wilson sent de-
mands to England they were either ignored
or answered in her bulldog way. As a nation
England has always been bully to smaller
nations. She states to the world, she entered
this world war to befriend Belgium when she
knows she was to attack Germany through
Belgium as has been proved by Germany
and our American tourists. She knows she
can never lick Germany, and so has taken, as
she thinks, a starvation policy. But country
that has everything fifty years in advance
cannot even be starved out.
Mr.. Wilson states this is only a neutral
country and must be recognized as such. but
I wish It was neutral. Mr.. Wilson's actions
have made friends our enemies now. There is
not q concern making supplies for the allies
that has not representative watching every
thing. This may be neutral but cannot see
1t. Some time ago agitation was strong
against sending ammunition to the allies Mr..
Wilson told Germany they could have all
they wanted Of anything they wanted II she
would send her boats over. Now Mr.. Wilson,
England never thought Of merchant subma-
rines and Zeppelns. When the submarine
came over. they tried to prove she was a
warship. Although Mr.. Wilson allowed the
allies ships to carry guns. And now we are
told he is not going to protect this merchant
submarine out Of the three-mile limit.
have travelled over the continent and
know the difference between the English
and German people. England's defence of
Russia in this war Is, she wants Russia to
have an outlet in the Mediterranean. How
about the Crimean war; As ! stated in the
beginning England has always declared her
self ruler Of the seven seas, and the sun
never sets on her possessions, and now by
her blacklist Of American firms she intends
to rule the United States, but not yet.

Texas Points the Future.

Very little is being said by democrats about
the result Of the elimination primary election in
Texas during the week. II it has any significance
whatever il is the hardest blow the administration
has yet received. Governor Colquitt, who has
been one Of the frankest and most caustic critics
Of the Wilson administration, was endorsed as a
candidate for United States senator by plurality
Of 1900 over Senator Culbertson, who had the
administration support Postmaster General Bur
Lesson and Attorney General Gregory threw their
whole influence against ColQuitt, and every ounce
Of energy was expended to sdetraek him, but to
no avail In 1914 Colquitt wrote letter, in which
he declared that the Wilson administration has
been the greatest failure in the history Of the
presidency" This and similar utterances won for
him the jealous opposition Of the supporters Of
Mr.. Wilson, but apparently lost the governor no
votes in Texas. At the second primary election
in August the fight will come on squarely between
Colquitt and Culbertson, and verdict similar to
the one just returned would emphasize the talk Of
the Texans who are taking this way Of showing
disapproval Of the Wlson-Bryan management Of
the Mexican affair.

sided in Box Butte county, south Of Hem

tivstion of two pieces Of corn-both planted
on land that had been broken the year previ-
Gus. The sod had rotted good and in the
spring both pieces were plowed and narrowed
and put in fine condition. These were two
pieces of about twenty acres each-one on
the south side of the road, the other on the
north. Both pieces were planted In corn.
The field on the north side was cultivated
once a week for six weeks. There was no
rain during the time the man on the south
piece cultivated his field every week. He made
cultivated his field every week. He made
twenty bushels to the acre, the other made
no corn. l have been a corn raiser myself
and can say that if your corn Is not weedy
and the weather continues dry, cultivate rs
often as you can. Don't run the shovels deep
nor too close to the corn. That land often
cultivated will conserve moisture in dry
spells is a too well established proposition
to need enlarging upon. Keep your cultivators
going If there aren't any weeds--snd you
