Neutral Rights and the Next War.

Brazil has come forward with program look
ing to the protection OF neutral rights IN the
future world wars. The plan, elaborated to its
least detail, has been endorsed by the Brazilian
parliament, and is now laid before the govern
ments OF neutral countries for consideration
Chiefly it provides for neutral league, to be-
come automatically active in case OF aggression
on the part OF any bellgerent against neutral,
From protest the first step is to cessation of
friendly relations with the offending power, and
then, il need be, hostities. This course does
not in any essential differ from present practice,
save that it untes all neutrals, and thus extends
the operation OF the boycott or the defensive
action determined upon, "a

against the Allies as has the United States. Great

acts arc little short Of piracy, but the protests
from Brazil have brought no greater satisfaction
from London or Paris than have those from the

In the program outlined to the United
States the general subject is fully discussed and
presented In form that Is worthy OF serious con
sderation. Determination, however, must wait
until such time Is I'll the nations Of the world
can be called into consultation In the meantime
the neutrals apparently have the choice between
submission TO international law as interpreted
by the belilgerents or entering the war. Temper.

Vance MeCormick's Congratulations.

Chairman Vance Mccormick Of the democratic
national committee is illuminating the congrat-
uatory kilograms sent to his assistants through
out the country with some phrases that may not
bear more than casual inspection. For example,
TO Chairman Otto Langhorst Of the Nebraska
state committee, Mr. Mccormick tenders the
gratitude Of grateful nation This is ali
right as . bit Of democratic hyperbole, but Mr..
Mccormick and Mr. Langhorst, as we'll, ought
to remember that the campaign Is over, and that
the time for Aapdoodle is past, The grateful

but the vote for Benson and Hanly will show

enthusiasm Of the chairman should not lead him
to confound the democratic party with the people

Direct Election of President

The president OF the United States ought to
be elected like q governor or a senator by the
voters themselves. The majority should deter
mine regardless OF state lines and regardless Of
artificial devices. The electoral college has been
an anachronism for hundred years so far as any
Independent political power is concerned It
should be eliminated completely from the political
system of the country as public evil and public
danger.
One Of the first duties OF congress when 1t re-
assemblies is to take the necessary first steps to-
tute direct vote OF the people for the electoral
college in the election OF president Of the United
States. Never again should it be possible for
a desperate partisanship to override in the cleo

The Drinking Of Water

(By M. c. Lucas, M. D.
The general conclusions OF the lat
est medical scientists proves that
drinking of plenty of pure water both
between meals and with ones meals
is beneficial to health. 1t has also
been proven by means OF the X-rays
and actual tests upon many healthy
young men that drinking Of water
with meals is not harmful to digestion.
Those suffering from catarrhal con-
dition of the stomach will find bene-
fit in adding about 10 grains Zone sixth
of level teaspoonful) of baking-soda
to pint of hot water, drinking it a
half hour before each meal. Such as
are inclined to hyper-acidity should
drink pint of medium cold water
two hours after meals. II you ever
suffer from headache, lumbago. rheu-
matism .or any of the symptoms of
kidney trouble-such as deep colored
urine, sediment in urine, getting out
of bed at night frequently and other
troublesome effects, take pint of
hot water and little Anuric before
meals. These Anuric tablets can be
obtained at almost any drug store and
were first discovered by Dr.. Pierce.
American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney
trouble, because we eat too much and
all our food is rich. Our blood is
filled with uric acid which the kid
neys strive to filter out, they weaken
from overwork, become sluggish; the
eliminatiye tissues clog and the result
is kidney trouble, bladder weakness
and often the poison reaches the It's

Plight Of the wageworker.

st. Mary, NeN Nov. 1s.-To the
Editor OF The Bee: Whereas the elec-
ton Is over and apparently decided
and the problem of the high cost Of
living has been settled, we can all re-
turn to the normal condition of busi-
ness. The people have settled the po-
litical question, and that worlds most
noted divine, Henry Ward Beecher,
has tried to settle the living question.
The Rev. Mr.. Beecher preached to the
wealthiest congregation In the United
States, II not in the world. He said:
rs not 81 a day enough to buy bread ?
Water costs nothing and q man who
cannot live on bread Ii not At to live,
A family may live. laugh, love and be
happy that eats bread In the morning,
with good water, and water and good
bread at noon and water and bread Ht
night"
Henry Ward Beecher has become a
cold-blooded artistocrat, an ally of the
money power. But Is 1t not fact
that 1t will require dollar day to
clothe family Of Ave and pay house
rent? So that laboring man will
find he will not be able to live on
bread and water. but must live on
water alone.
Now, my laboring friend. let us see
how the New York World pities you,
The New York World is q leading
democratic paper. Read the follow
ing extract from that paper: "The
American laborer must make up his
mind henceforth not to be 80 much
better off than the European laborer,
Men must be content to work for less
wages. In this way the workingman
will be nearer to that station in life
to which it has pleased God to call
him."
Here is one Of the leading and most
powerful democratic journals in the
United States telling the laboring peo-
pie that they must be reduced to a
level with the laborers of Europe, that
they must work for less wages, that
that is what God intended for them
when he created them. In other words,
that they are At for nothing else but
slaves. This, my laboring friend, was
set before you in bold print and how
you expect to get relief is a mystery
to me. You swallowed 1t all at the
last election.

Henry T. Clarke has filled the Of
fee in a creditable manner that has
brought results in real public service,
his work having secured equitable
rates at all times to the consumer Of
public service, and l might add not
enjoyed by close adjoining states.
The splendid efficiency at this time
speaks for the wisdom of creating the
railroad commission few years ago.

department of state government
Mr.. Clarke is a recognized author
ity on ratings" and public service
utilities, and his able arguments be-
fore the Interstate Commerce commits
sion brought favorable comment not
only in Nebraska, but the several
states where unjust rates were up for
consideration. Mr.. Clarke deserved an
endorsement from every Nebraskan at
the polls and his defeat at this time
is nothing short of shame and a
calamity.
Nebraska has lost the service of a
most capable and an efficient public
servant. A man big enough to fill the
position. 1t is to be regretted there
