Two hundred prune growers in the
Salem district with d combined acre
age of 1900, have entered pool be-
ing formed at Salem, Ore, according
to announcement made Monday byRo-
bert c. Paulus, manager Of the Salem
Fruit union. About 1000 acres OF
prunes in this district are outside the
pool. The outlook for the prune crop
in the willamette valley this year is
problematical. Mr.. Paulus says. In
most of the fruit sections the trees
are only now shedding their blossoms
and it will be a week or more before
any accurate estimate Of the crop
can be made. The prune acreage in
the Salem district is from 10 to Is per
cent more than last season.

way clear FOR the president.

Mr. Wilson may now proceed with the per-
Torrance OF his constitutional duties, with the
assurance that congress is not. for the time at
least to intercept the executive prerogative. The
way has been cleared for him by dint OF utmost
exertion of party influence. and the adoption Of
such means as will leave those outside the inner
councils OF democracy wondering Just what has
been achieved. So far as numerical preponder-
ance enters into the calculation, the vote Is most
decisive Totals, however imposing. frequently
lack the element Of finality and that most essen
tial factor seems to be here missing. AS in the
senate. when a similar test OF strength was had
last week. the decision is suspended, not ex-
pressed.
Whether the vote was to save his face, or to
honestly support the president. the house has
followed the line of least resistance. and has
left the question in an unsatisfactory position.
1t is admitted that certain members of the ma
for partisan or factional reasons, to hamper or
thwart the president In any of his actions in con-
nection with his foreign policy. This clique has
avoided square test OF strength by temporarily
shutting off opportunity for fair consideration of
the issue on Its merits Dodging behind a tech
meal parliamentary maneuver permits the par
tisan to pose a patriot. a refuge to which
many OF the democrats swiftly flew.
The next move in this domestic disagreement
must wait on diplomatic action. 1t is only GER
tain the marplots OF democracy will not cease
to embarrass the executive in whatever negotia-

The Latest German Note.

The text OF the German note delivered by
Count Won Bernstorff to Secretary Lansing may
reasonably be interpreted as indicating dispo-
sition on the part OF Germany to modify its sub
marine campaign, in some way to comply with
established sea law. Claiming that the submer-
sible is a new arm, the exact status OF which is
not established by convention law, the Ger
man government pleads that II be given stand
ing that will permit use against commerce as
well as for offensive defensive warfare The
difficulty Of writing new law in the presence OF
war is admitted, but refuge is found behind al
legged violations Of existing law charged against
Great Britain.
Here is the weakest point Of the German
position BY no reasonable process OF logic can
be supported the implied contention that in pur-
suit OF its submarine policy is Germany righting
the wrongs put upon neutral commerce by
Great Britain. That the law OF blockade was
violated by the establishment OF worldwide
war zone through the order-in-council that
superseded the Declaration OF London has been
insisted by all neutrals, but they are making
their protest directly to Great Britain and its
allies. Nor will It fully suffice that Germany
promise conditionaly TO obey the law II Great
Britain equally agrees to do so. The case OF
the neutrals can not rest on such premise. Eff
forts TO secure agreement between the belliger-
ents has already failed, and the matters there
fore must be dealt with, regardless of their
disagreement.
II must be kept in mind. too, that at no time
has the United States abandoned its protest
against the illegal acts OF Great Britain, but this
government has pushed its case with all energy,
although II has been overshadowed by the pres
ence OF the more acute situation occasioned by
the work OF the submarine. The American peo-
pie are not yet ready to surrender all neutral
rights 20 either side.

Democratic Dilemma in Nebraska.

1t is indeed refreshing to hear our amiable
democratic contemporary, the World-Herald,

running mate for President Wilson in order to
strengthen the cause OF democracy in doubt
full state" Things must certainly be in bad
way on the democratic side Of the fence II a
president seeking reelection on his record must
be bolstered UP in the state from which he Sc
lected his cabinet premier by associating with
him someone Of only local political prestige.
Here in Nebraska all the democratic ele-
ments are processing intense loyalty to the pres
idents political fortunes, but obviously 1t is for
the most part mere lip service stimulated by the
hope OF office or patronage preferment. Be
yond this. the democratic faction-leaders are
pulling apart and waging a death battle for
supremacy within the party.
Nebraska doubtful state" from the demo-
cratic viewpoint?-it certainly is. And when
the principal democratic organ is moved to make
that admission It is tantamount to confession
that Nebraska is already regarded irretrievably
lost from the democratic column unless some
hoped-for but not expected life-saving miracle
transpires before the November voting.
