Irish Situation Said to be Improv-
ing. RevoIutionists Surrender

London, April 3O.-"The stu
alton in Dublin has considerably
improved this morning but the
rebels still were offering serious
resistance in the neighborhood
of Sackville street" says a state
ment issued by Field Marshal
Viscount French at II 80 O'Clock
last night. The statement con
tinues:
"Thc Gordon OF troops encirc-
ling this quarter, however, was
steadily closing in, but house to
house fighting necessarily render
ed progress slow. The postoffice
and the block of buildings east
of Sackville street have been de-
stroyed by fire. A party OF rebels
have been driven out of Boland's
mills to Rings End by guns
mounted on motor tories. One
of the rebel leaders, man named
Pearse, is reported wounded IN
the leg. A report received this
evening stated that Pearse had
surrendered Internationally and
that he asserted he had been au-
thorized to accept the same terms
of surrender for his followers in
Dublin. Another leader, James
Connolly, has been reported kill
ed.
Surrounded by Police
"The Four Courts district,
which still is held by rebels, is al
SO surrounded by Gordon OF po-
lice which gradually is closing in.
All information points to the
that the rebellion in
Dublin is on the verge of col
lapse. A considerable number
of rebels are prisoners in military
reports this evening from the
rest of Ireland are generally sat
isfactory. The conditions at Bel
fast and Ulster are normal and
the situation at Londonderry is
stated to be quite satisfactory.
The district within fifteen miles
Of Galway also is reported nor
NAL, but rebel bands have been
located between Athenry and
Craunhwell. Nineteen rebel pris-
oners have been captured and
sent to Queenstown. Another
band of rebels is reported en-
trenched at Enniscorthly, but the
police still are holding out and
roads and railways are clear to
within four miles of that town.
The damage done to Barrow
Bridge on the Dublin and South

The main body of the Sim Fein
rebels in Dublin surrendered dur

No Sectional Attainment


Talk of a new alignment in politics, with the
west and south against the east, is shallow. AS
we have previously pointed out, this was Wilson
victory. The same electors that voted for him
in many states voted for republican governors and
senator's. The closeness OF the next house is an
other proof OF this fact But the popular vote,
unofficial, but generally reliable, shows decided
Wilson trend in all sections, wherever actual SEN
timent is reflected in the vote. The south might
as well be counted out when alignments are
discussed, for the south votes for the democratic
label Had Mr.. Wilson been running on Mr..
Hughes platform he would have carried the
south. No matter what the issue, unless it in
wolves the race question the south is democratic.
II was for Cleveland, for Bryan, for Parker and
for Wilson. 1t would be for any other demo-
crat.
Nothing but the great normal republican plur-
alities and the more effective campaign saved the
east to Hughes. Wilson ran ahead of the demo-
cratic ticket in New York and in Massachusetts,,
He may have carried New Hampshire. He cut
the Maine and Connecticut margins. He distanced
the democratic candidate for United States sena-
tor in Maryland. He carried Ohio He endan-
gered the rock-ribbed republican state of Mime
sofa. He outstripped the democratic candidate
for governor in Missouri by many thousands 1t
was Wilson landslide, and when the popular
vote Is studied, in light Of known political cond-
tons, it was nationwide
1t is idle to enter into all the mixed causes
that made the people for Wilson. The fact itself
stands out. On election morning we pointed to
the republican disadvantage in having to appeal
to the judgment Of voters as to future conditions.
Few people are able or willing to look ahead.
To the great mass of the population the present
is all that matters, and it was upon present con-
ditions and illusions growing out OF it that the
judgment OF the people was based Political
principles had little to do with the result. 1t was
Wilson--thats all.

Doing the Last Thing First
-l-W.ll Street Journal

While the railroads now beginning suits to
test the Adamson law have reason to hope for
success, the wisdom of their course may be fairly
challenged In resorting to the courts they APP
prudence and plain horse sense would demand
that other means of relief be exhausted before
risking all on a Judicial proceeding whose out
come must be in doubt.
And the question is not free from doubt. So
far as legal opinion can be gagged, the weight
Of authority is against the constitutionality Of
the law Yet there are able lawyers who say the
law is constitutional The man who undoubtedly
advised the president on the bill ranks high as
a lawyer.
There are, then, lawyers Of standing who hold
opinions pro and con- After the question once
goes to the court, the opinions of these lawyers
count for nothing The all-important question
u.s. What will the court decidei Who knows!
1t Is all well enough at this time to say the
court will decide the law is invalid. Possibly it
will But what II it upholds IT'D Public sentiment
will settle down to conviction that the law is
Just and righteous.
And If Just and righteous, why extend any
sympathy or relief to the railroads.? The supreme
court pronounces It good law; therefore, let
them obey it. Public reasoning is not apt to go
much beyond that.
When congress adjourned observers at Wash
ington said there was disposition to resent the
labor union arrogance. In some parts OF congress
there was undoubtedly feeling that justice had
not been done the railroads.
Such feeling is surely an asset worth devel-
oping, II the railroads have been unjustly
treated, could they not demonstrate that fact
before the Newlands commsion' What better
grounds for repeal or modification OF the act
could there be than the establishment of such a
factl
Good strategy demands that the first fights
be in the investigating commission and in the
halls Of congress Not until this is done should
the railroads stake all OH one pitched battle
which, although the result may seem certain, has
still the deadly uncertainty Of war and its re-
morseless price.

Meeting the Cost Of Living.

The British government proposes to deal with
the cost Of living in much the same manner as
the problem was met in Germany and to lesser
degree in France. The government will take
over the control of the food supply, and will so
regulate its distribution as to minimize waste and
thus lessen cost to the public far as is possible.
Early in the war Australia took over the wheat
supply Of the country, and arbitrarily fixed the
price. New Zealand followed, and out OF this
action has come situation of curious interest.
Australia permits the shipment Of -four at lower
price than is given on wheat, with the result that
Australian millers are underselling the South
African millers in Cape Colony, and general pro-
test Is there being made. When the British Eov-
eminent takes over food control at home even
without fixing prices, it is certain to have some
effect on the prices in America, from whence Eng
land Is just now drawing its chief supplies
Spectators in food may be able to maintain the
inflated prices in this country for time, but the
action Of foreign governments is sure to over
take them, even II our own government refrains
from interfering and Americans may in time share
in the protection that is given the people in the
war-rdden lands OF Europe

Some Points Overlooked.

The general jubilation Of the democrats who
toasted at Lincoln in celebration Of the GLORIOUS
victory at the polls was made the more notable
by some omissions from the program. At no time
was any open reference made to the charges
brought by State Treasurer Hall against Cover
nor Morehead, with reference to the adminstra-
ton Of his Office. Nor did anyone Of the brethren
seem to recall what Governor Morchead said
about State Treasurer Hall, at the same time, nor
of the governors threat to prosecute the treas
urer for malfeasance in Office, The absence Of
William Jennings Bryan may account for the
lack Of reference to the exchange of compliments
between the ex-secretary Of state and our modest
democratic senator All Of this however remains
on the calendar as unfinished business and may
be taken up at any time. The people cannot help
feeling these democrats knew what they were say
ing about each other, and may recall the passages
at another time For the present we must rest
content with the spectacle OF the quarrelsome lot
toasting one another under the cover of the shell
tering wing Of Woodrow the Peaceful whose in
Auence Il felt in Nebraska is not in Europe or
Mexico.

The dry amendment to the constitution OF Ne
braska just adopted, forbids the sale or barter OF
Intoxicating liquors except for medicinal scien-
tifc or mechanical or sacramenta purposes" I'm
der the present law regulating the liquor traffic
in this state. known as the Slocumb law, the sale
Of Intoxicating liquors for any purpose IS pro-
hbited except by licensed dealers or by druggists
taking out permits and in all cases subject TO
the limitations and restrictions OF the law The
dry amendment, as we take it, nulihes the power
TO issue licenses which the Slocumb law vested in
the various local authorities and applies the pen-
altes OF the Slocumb law for selling without
license to all sales except under druggists per-
n,its and those sales subject to the conditions of
the permit In other words, without further legis-
lation whatever, the prohibitions of the Slocumb
law against vending without license, which has
made Nebraska dry in all territory except where
licenses were issued and in license territory on
Sundays, holidays and between the hours OF 8
at night and in the morning, become operative
pso facto without any additional enactments.
Therefore, the penalties for illicit selling under
the Slocumb law, unless changed, will continue
under prohibition and these penalties have been
sufficient ordinarily in places where local scnti-
ment has registered dry heretofore. Whether
they will be sufficient in wet" territory remains
to be seen. As to sales by druggists for pur-
poses other than medicinal the penalties are now
even more severe than for other illegal sales The
druggists permit now authorizes sale "for medici-
nal, mechanical and chemical purposes" but re-
quires each sale to be enteted upon public regis
ter and Justification of the register or failure to
keep it correctly invites not fine, but Jail
sentence. The only place where there seems to
be hiatus between the Slocumb law and the pro-
hibtion amendment is with reference to sales
after May | for "saeramental purposes" which
are not prohibited but which are not, strictly
speaking, included within the scope OF the drug
gst's permit.
So far as anyone can see at the present time,
there is no reason for repeating the Slocumb
law and little need for experimenting it. ASSUME
ing that the penalties for its violation sufficient
and that the machinery OF enforcement is not
impaired. At any rate, the change to prohibition
can be tried out under the Slocumb law without
any serious difficulty.

America and Japan

In an address to the Japanese society Of New
York, Ebert H. Gary, chairman Of the United
States Steel corporation, recently argued that
patriotic Americans like patriotic japanese,
should stamp out the white and yellow jingoes,
who, he said, had been trying for years to groom
their respective nations for conflict.
As a result OF the most careful inquiry among
Japanese statesmen and the Japanese people, Mr..
Gary is convinced that they earnestly desire to
maintain cordial relations with this country The

understanding trouble that cannot be removed by
mutual and amicable adjustment
Eliminating all extraneous questions the only
basis for any trouble in the future is the immigra-
ton problem. Japan has insisted that the United
