Haden Proved His Americanism.

Robert Allen Haden, an American missionary
on his way to China, lost his life when French
liner sunk in the Mediterranean after being tor
pedoed by an unseen U-boat This fact may or
may not have weight in determining the issue
between the United States and Germany but it
has in connection with it little touch that will
make Americans feel proud of their dead country
man. Mr.. Haden had a chance to save his life
along with other frst-class passengers, but found
call to duty in another direction Quite num-
Der Of Chinese were on board, and to these the
missionary gave his attention, doing what he could
to secure their safety. So he was drowned, with
many others, but in his death he added some
thing more to the name OF American. In his
conduct he exemplihed in high degree the ideal
Of the republic, that of unsefsh service to human
ity. Philosophy may not support his sacrifice,
but Americans will not question the act which
proved his Amercansm.

How Much OF a Hang lover?

The question of supplemental legislation to
enforce the prohibition amendment to the Ne
braska constitution adopted last fall to be effec-
tive next May seems to have resolved itself into
determination of how much intoxicant the ind-
vidua citizen may stow away in advance of that
date for his future use.
Shall the berty-lovng citizen be permitted
to plant" quart or gallon, case or barrel,
or as much as he pleases, wholly for his own con-
SUMPTION of course, knowing it will be difficult
if not impossible to replenish the supply with
interstate shipments forbidden by federal law?
There are other phases also to be considered,
among them the eagerly awaited prospect of
bargain sales" of wet" goods by purveyors
going out OF business, who are now in fair
way to mark up the "rempants" instead of mark
ing them down. Should the quantity be re-
stricted or should the time for its consumption
be limited1 In a word, what is a reasonable
Hangover to ease the transition from the wet
era to the "dry" regimen

Box Car Shortage and Famine.

Quite a brisk controversy has sprung up be-
tween President Griffin of the Chicago Board of
Trade and Commissioner McChord of the Inter
state Commerce commission as to who is re-
sponsible for the box car shortage and the famine
conditions complained OF in many interior points,
Charges and counter-charges are hurled back and
forth between these gentlemen, but little relief
is afforded the communities affected Two months
ago when the food and fuel situation reached an
acute stage promises were made by the railroads
that relief would be forthcoming, but practically
the same condition prevails today. General dis
tribution is still disarranged that favor may be
shown to shipments destined for export This, in
turn has been interrupted in its flow by develop
ments in the war at sea, and the engorged eastern
terminals are once more jammed so that traffic is
all but suspended. To nonexpert mind it appears
that some good might be accomplished if the
railroads were to give little more attention to
local and not entirely devote their efforts to
facilitating through traffic. Serve America for
while and let Europe wait and the famine phase
OF the situation will quickly disappear

British Food on Bed Rock Basis.

Premier Lloyd George gives solemn notice to
The people of Great Britain that they are to expe
rience some effects of the hitherto only antici-
pated in the United Kingdom. Just as the Ger
mans and the French have been compelled to mo-
Billie food supplies, so the English must follow
or, as the premier badly states it, face the
menace of disaster" Food stocks are low and the
tonnage situation serious, if not actually des-
perate. While proposing to meet the submarine
blockade with vigorous resistance, Lloyd George
urges on his country the necessity of recognizing
the elements of the present war status, and Of
meeting them by such reasonable self-restraint as
will improve their prospects for sef-mante-
nance.
The war in Europe has now been transferred
in large measure from the machine shops to the
farms, and on what may be harvested from the
cultivated fields will depend chances for ultimate
success. This was forced on the Germans early
in the course of the war, although they are cred
tied with having to some extent anticipated the
fact and provided considerable stocks OF food in
advance. France began the regulation of the
dietary of the people some months SINCE while
in England partial embargo on menu has also
been effective for quite while Devotion of the
brtish 10 their cause as represented IN the neld
may now be measured by the willingness with
which they submit to food regulation and the zeal
they put into tng the soil heretofore set aside
for pleasure.
1t is OF some local interest to note that the
premier proposes to guarantee the minimum
price of wheat for the year at approximately that
now prevailing in Omaha-$l7s per bushel,
roughly figured. In June 1914, the Liverpool
price was around &c cents bushel. This deter
mnaton of selling price may eventually have
some influence on the American market.

Beware the Deadly Fumes.

Two more penniless travellers have paid with
their lives for the privilege OF trying to steal ride
in car warmed for hauling the precious potato.
Quite list of these has been accumulated by the
railroads since the charcoal burner was adapted
to keep potatoes from freezing enroute But
carbon monoxide is Indifferent as to persons and
attacks the prosperous automobile owner just as
surely as it does the homeless hobo. 1t is a
product OF combustion, is colorless, odorless,
heavier than air and deadly To the automobile
owner it is menace in the closed garage with
the motor running. warnings repeatedly have
been given to those who might be exposed to it,
but il is well to repeat the admonition often. If
you own machine and find it necessary to oper-
ate the motor while in the garage, see that
steady current Of air is passed through the build
ing low enough to carry off the fumes; or, better
still, connect the exhaust pipe with the outer air
Take no chances with carbon monoxide

He facet Pork
= Minneapolis Journal.

The three principal pork bills, it appears, are
dead far as this congress is concerned, and
thereby not less than hundred million dollars is
saved to a treasury that is sadly in need of
every dollar that can be saved.
The public buildings bill, with its projects to
cost thirty-eght millions now and much more
later sleeps somewhat restessly, but sleeps never
theless, in the keeping of the senate committee
on public buildings In view of the promise of a
presidential veto, Senator Swanson of Virginia,
the chairman of the committee, makes no move
to disturb its slumbers. The seventy-eight south
ern hamlets that expected to be adorned with
marble monuments for nostofices are doomed
to disappointment.
The flood control bill, which would obligate
the government to spend at least forty-hve mil
lions on retaining privately owned swamp lands
in the lower Mississippi valley, is on the senate
calendar. While it may come up for discussion.
the democratic leaders have reluctantly decided
that cannot be passed, AID so little time will be
wasted on it.
The rivers and harbors bill, with its forty mil
lions of present appropriations, and its official
sanction to many new projects that would uti-
mately cost no one knows how many more mil
lions, has been amplihed in the senate, and is the
most dangerous of the three measures But the
threat OF filibuster led b" Senator Kenyon and
the rapid approach OF March a, make its passage
scarcely possible.
The senate may accept Senator Kenyons pro-
posa of bill appropriating about twenty millions
for the really mertorious projects, such as those
for improving East river, New York. and Boston
harbor, but even in that case the net saving on
pork will be above hundred millions
Despite the present failure OF the pork hunters
to raid the treasury, it should not be forgotten
that each of these three bills would be passed by
both houses. if 1t could be brought to vote. A
small but courageous minority in congress has
succeeded in blocking them thanks to the short-
ness of the session and the pressure of legislative
business.

VOICE OF THE GUNS.

F. l.. Stanton In Atlanta Constitution.
Still the loud war-guns
Where no stream but Redeemed runs,
And the watliIg of the mothers and the
slaughter Of the sons
And the torn fields trampled, and the hearts
that bleed and beat
And listen In the darkness for unreturninG
feet.
Still the fields of flame.
Where loves an unknown name,
With a world to watch and wonder-a world
to blush with shame!
Gods temples laid in ashes, wolf-hunger AT
the door,
While the war-guns drown the pleading
the praying of the poor
And to heaven sound the guns
And there the ife-stream runs.
VIII not heaven hear the wailing or the
mothers for the sons? =
One day in solemn judgment, Markings shall
trembling stand
with blackened souls and blasted-with
blood on heart and hand!

Mer9can Revolutions
Wall Street Journal,

Mexico in her own sons has found many able
apologists for each OF seven noteworthy revou-
tons OF the last l07 years; and with fervid con-
viction they justify these conflicts a. an upward
progressive movement of the great 1ody of the
real racial stock of their country for the demo
cratizing" OF its natural resources OF land mines
and products and the appropriation of the wealth
OF the nation from the control OF few hundred
families, their clerical supporters, and foreign,
especially American, holders of concessions.
We may see no justification for the disorders
OF the last seven years that have destroyed the
foreign credit Of Mexico and have rendered
tenure OF life as well as property, most precar-
GUS. We have, however learned that the Mexi-
can is not mere Indian; we know enough about
his history to realize that his racial roots are
buried deep beneath the traditions of Spanish
America. We know that hardy, distinctive stock
has survived not merely three centuries of Span
ish rule with its subtle, cruel devices for dwarf
ing growth and race spirit For centuries prior
to the Spanish conquest, Mexico had maintained
her progress against a no less merciless and
fataistic despotism in her old dynasties, with
their hybrid genius OF politics and religion
Mexicans do not and have never looked on
the government at Washington as friendly to
their ambition for nationality free from foreign
economic or even political control. They believe,
rightly or wrongly that America was hostile to
the expulsion OF Spain, and encouraged the inter-
yention of France and the short-lved empire of
Macmillan.
There is jdst one other point of which we may
take note. The revolutions OF the last seven
years have brought about some distribution of
property. In the main, however the great body
OF people shares only slightly in the wealth it
produces; they have nothing they are tax-proof
and debt-proof II is not at all likely that outside
investment and enterprise can get franchises OF
any real permanence or security until the Mexican
people, as whole, are tranquiized, by having at
least some property interest in their own country.
