Won Bethmann-Holwsg Firmly Seated.

A dispatch which diagnosed the, crisis in the
German Reichstag as symptomatic rather than
serious is justified by the event. The chancellor
has come out Of the affair with seat apparently
6rmer than ever. A farmer himself, his official
course has been rather surprise to those who
expected him to espouse the Junker faction. From
the beginning of his career al chancellor of the
empire he has shown frmness and independence
no faction could shake or turn, and in the present
instance appears to be more than ever the leader
Of German politics as well as policies. 1t Is stated
that exceptions were taken to the tone Of his
recent address to the Reichstag. III which he de-
clared the full purpose Of Germany to continue
the war until decisive result Is achieved. The
Junkers hailed this as an opportune time to in
sist on renewal Of the submarine warfare along
original lines. Against this Won Bcthmann- Hol-
veg interposcd his opposition, and after cabinet
session of Importance he is reported to have car
ried his point. The sincere desire Of Germany to
avoid further complications with America Is thus
given emphasis. That considerable element in
Germany Is opposed to the chancellor's views has
been well understood for many months, but that
It is not able to overturn his plans Is proof that
the majority Of Germans do not care to wilfully
extend the war to include remaining neutrals.

Cutting Out .obedience..

The proposed amendment to the marriage
ceremony that will omit the word "obey" from
the VOWS imposed upon the wife, may suit the
notions Of some. The word in itself is not vital
to the success Of matrimonial venture. but its
spirit is essential. not only in marriage but all
through life. Even in democracy some must
lead while Others follow. This does not imply
any inequality in general social relations, but sim
ply recognition Of the inescapabe fact that re-
sponsbity must center somewhere The man
who is better qualified for leadership is also bet
ter fitted to follow. To be able to give and en-
force ORDERS one must also be able to take and
obey orders. This lesson is exacted, even from
autoerats. The whole created universe moves in
obedience to one will, and every successful un-
1ertating Of mans endeavor is carried out along
lines Of disciplined, co-ordinated obedience. The
word "obey' may be stricken from the marriage
ceremony, but obedience can not be lost, or the
whole scheme Of order will be disrupted.

A Message Of Pride.

The magnificent moving picture of western
progress staged on the streets OF Omaha in honor
OF the semi-centennial of Nebraska's statehood
carried message OF pride to hearts that revere
the deeds OF pioneers. Not in the prehistoric
floats the legions of Coronado, nor in the figures
OF trappers and fur traders, was the message
gmpsed, nor yet in the gorgeous colors of state
hoods fruition. 1t threaded through and linked
up the primitive tools and vehicles with which
pioneer settlers trekked over prairies deserts and
mountains, uncovered the treasure houses of gold
and silver, and transformed the wilderness into
fruitful fields.
The prairie schooners and the patient Flooding
OK teams are as mirage of long ago, almost I'M
real to people Of an automobile age. Yet they
carried both power and sustenance, combined the
pull and the meat, and enabled the pioneer to
reach his destination. While lacking the speed Of
the horse and the mule, the OK team was well
within the average resources OF the home and
fortune seekers, and thus became linked with the
forces which implanted civilization in the west.
These typical instrumentalities Of western set
Element merely glimpse the courage and fortitude
of the men and women who employed them in
their quest for material betterment. The hard
ships Of primitive shelters, the struggle to wiring
from virgin soil uncertain crops, the lonely vigils
In hostile country, and the great distances which
too often prevented neighborly eo-operation-all
these and more united in testing the strength,
confidence and determination Of the empire max
ers. Their dauntless courage and sublime faith
in the future shone forth with equal luster in the
trek of Mormon converts behind pushcarts from
the Missouri river to Salt Lake.
There were heroes and heroines in the pioneer
days. They were cast in large molds--large Of
heart, of generosity and Of cheerfuness amid pr-
vations. Too many, unfortunately, filled name
less graves, succumbing to the rgors Of climate
and primitive habitaton, but those who overcame
the hardshps Of the early days and lived to
enjoy the fruition Of their struggles deserved the
crown and tribute Of work nobly done. Their
successors. fully approaching what the pioneers
achieved, will long cherish the splendid tribute
to their memory pictured in the Historical parade
