Don't wear a funereal ex-
preston of countenanCe, for
vicory is sure.
Don't forget the worlds
business must be transacted
in war as in peace and that
a part of that responsibility is
yours.
Don't forget to be humane
in a war that IS for humanity
and in which hatred of ma
tionality has no part.
Don't harp on the increas-
ed taxation necessary in this
crisis. The man who gives
money alone is not to be COM
pared to the one who gives
his life, or to the fathers and
mothers who give their sons.
Don't forget that you are
first of all an American with
a steadfast faith in your coun-
try's ability to win in the
face of any existing obstacle,
and that right in the end will
triumph.

War and the Price of Food.

A report made by New York commission,
dealing with the food conditions in that city, says
the emergency is not so grave as the recent DEM
onstrations might indicate. However, the COM
mission adds, it is serious problem for the wage
Garner drawing no more than $500 year to pro-
vide for family at present prices and that with
additional advances in price of foods the suffer-
ing may become actual instead of apparent Real
shortage in food supply is greatly aggravated by
the abnormal expectation incident to the war
and on this the commission, rests the blame for
the rise in prices. This much has been admitted
from the beginning, and entirely to be expected
What the public would really like to know is how
much Of the advance in the cost of living is due
to market manipulation that could be controlled
Inquiries that go no deeper than the hastily ar
ranged affair just over in New York are of little
service, The experience of the present winter
may be continued, If indeed it is due to control-
able conditions. We are falling short of our
claims to be leaders OF civilization when we per-
init hunger to prevail in land that teens with
plenty, as does ours.

A GREAT NATION.

No thoughtless impulse gave It birth,
No rash and hasty action formed
The foremost nation of the earth,
No blind desire by passion warmed
Far back this potent life began
And slowly through the ages grew.
Amid the doubt$and fears of man
From deep desire its nurture drew.
Persistent grew the enduring germ,
BY nature warmed and well sustained
Until 1t passed the lengthy term
The Power Divine had pre-ordained.
And when the time was ripe, behold!
On fair Columbias happy breast
A creature of no common mold,
THE lusty nursing of the west
The coming giant whose deep voice,
In clearest accent sweet and strong,
Should make aspiring souls rejoice
In llbertys rld-circling song.
And when this ringing voice proclaimed
Self-government in freedoms light.
From heights of every land were famed
. The signals of eternal right.
A precious truth long trodden down
The new world lifted nightly
And offered every man the crown
OF manhood's rightful sovereignty.
Great monarchs turned a look of scorn
Upon the high browed, stately being
With lofty aspirations born
And gifts beyond their power OF seeing.
The startled nations here saw one
Advanced beyond all precedents.
For where the light of freedom shone
Grew virtue and intelligence.

Need of a New City Jail.

The grand jury only confirmed what has long
been known when it recommended that new
city Jail be provided for Omaha The present
structure long ago outlasted its usefulness and
for several years has been disgrace to the
community. On several occasions the city au-
thorities have considered the submission Of a
proposal to issue bonds to erect suitable build
ing for jail purposes, but always the project has
been laid aside to give rght-of-way to another Of
public or popular concern Expansion of the city
has brought new factors into the problem, and
the city jail that is to be built must be designed
now as the central headquarters for the police
department of the larger city, with reference to
at least two substatons in addition to the one
maintained on the South Side. While haste is not
required serious consideration must be given

Mexico's New Constitution.

Mexico has just been given new constitution
by the Carranzista organization, and an election
for president is called for March II. No doubt
seems to exist as to whom the choice for the
Office will fall on, although two candidates are
said to be in the field against the first chief This
does not concern the world outside so much as
does the fundamental law of the country on which
whatever Of government it is to have must rest,
for the time at least.
Principal attention will be given to the pro-
visions relating to foreign residents in Mexico
Carranza has secured the embodiment in the con.
sttution Of his peculiar views as to foreigners and
has completely reversed the Diaz policy, which
invited outsiders to make their homes in the land
of the Montezumas. Persons not of Mexican
birth or adoption may not acquire title to real
property, but the state may grant concessions to
aliens, subject to revocation at pleasure Of the
state. Foreigners seeking concessions must FORE
go any protection Of their own government and
submit themselves to the laws of Mexico and
the acts of the Mexican authorities. Nor can any
concession within 100 kilometers Of the land
borders or within fifty komcters of the seacoast
be granted to or held by foreigners.
That complications will arise from this pro-
vision is certain. European governments as we'll
as the United States are concerned, because prac-
tically all the development done in Mexico under
the Diaz regime was financed by foreigners. Hun
dreds of millions of European money are invested
there, while it has been estimated that American
holdings across the border amount to more than
a billion, If Carranza plans to confscate this
property or to change the conditions under which
it is held he will very likely find himself with a
much more serious situation to face than any
Villa ever provided for him.

Protection for American Rights.

That President Wilson will be granted ample
power, to be exercised in his discretion, for the
protection of American rights is plainly fore
casted by the action of the republican senators on
Saturday. The minority members fairly antci-
pated the address delivered by the president yes
terday, and the Fall resolution, proffering him
full support is an earnest of the intention OF
congress, and The Bee believes fairly representa-
tive of the spirit OF the American people. No
demand for war exists in this country, but there
is strong determination TO resist the invasion
ofIour rights at sea.
In addressing the congress on this topic Presi-
dent Wilson very temporarily expressed views
of the situation that are in accordance with the
sentiment Of his countrymen, as we'll as having
support in reason. 1t is not alone for the rights
of Americans he stands for in this instance the
injury is far greater than that to any one country
or people. 1t is for the common right of hui
mainly, without which, the president says, civili-
cation cannot exist. The ruthless subsea war
fare that destroys all afoat, regardless of its
character, goes so far beyond the justihabe pro-
cedure of war as to become a common menace
to all the world.
ments OF Americans as we'll as other neurals,
on this point cannot be doubted. The question
was too long discussed and held in allegiance to
leave room for misunderstanding Explanations
emanating from Berlin in connection with the
sinking OF the Dutch ships at the entrance to the
English channel makes clear the purpose to stop
all world commerce il possible
Armed neutrality as proposed by the presi-
dent, does not mean war, any more than does
the cessation of diplomatic relations. 1t is for
NAL notice Of the readiness of this country to
protect its citizens and their commerce against
unwarranted invasion of their rights That peace
may be preserved and the issue of war be averted
is the fervent hope Of the president, as it is Of
every right-minded citizen OF the United States
However, the nation is standing firm behind Mr.
Wilson in his efforts TO protect Americans.
