Prest. Wilson's Reply to the
POpe's Peace Note Criticised

tits a bit interesting to note
the criticisms of the replies made
by the different governments
to the Peace Note" of Pope
Benedict each government in
turn criticising the other govern
ments for their ansWeres to the
Pope.
President Wilson was the first
by several days to make reply to
the Pope's proposition. Ofcourse
his most severe criticism came
from Germany. But, we have
noted that from two foreign
governments (our allies) comes
sharp criticism for Wilson's reply.
Cardinal Gasparri, secretary Of
the papal state, gave to the As
sociated Press the following:
president Wilson's proposal
to reduce ornaments and impose
international arbitration by force
through a society of nations is a
dream.
An international army to en-
force the verdicts of the court of
arbitration? In which country
would it be locaCed without being
influenced by local politics and
prejudices? The moon is the
only place possible. ("
Then the London Graphic said
editorially:
''Since no high expectations
were felt in this country upon
the answer the central powers
would make to the Pope, there
can be no disappointment at the
terms of the documents which
reached London last nj G ht.
Meanwhile President Wilson
must surely be disillusioned as
to the distinction between the
German government and the
German people. The real hope
of the allies does not lie in div
ided Germany nor in papal notes,
but in relentless blows on the
German armies such as Sir Dou-
glas Haig has just delivered"
All of which means that the
war isn't over, and also shows
that when it is over there will be
a Diplomatic War" to fight out.

CAMPAIGNS THIS YEAR

This year, there are three Statewide
campaigns in progress. In October,
Iowa will vote at a special election on
constitutional amendment making
the State dry. Some years ago, the
State Legislature enacted a Prohibi-
tion law for the State and a succeed
ing Legislature enacted what is called
a "mulct law,' providing that the
Prohibition law was not to be enforced
in counties that got up statutory pc
tition to that effect, securing thereto
the signatures of a majority of the vot-
ers of the county.
The last Legislature repealed the
"mulct law, - thus leaving in full force
and effect the original Prohibitory
statute. At the same time, the Legis-
lature submitted to the people con-
stitutional amendment forever prohib-
iting the traffic, which is to be voted
on in October
At the general elections to be held in
November, two more wet States, New
Mexico and Ohio, will vote on the State
wide dry project. In each of these
States, the campaign is now being
waged with the utmost fury. In each,
the drys are confident of winning but
are taking no chances and bending ev-
cry possible effort to rolling up as large
majority as possible Ohio has voted
on the measure twice before, but lost
each time by small majorities. Each
time, the drys were defeated by alb
normal wet majorities in Cincinnati
and Cleveland. Last year, the vets
won by very narrow margin and have
little hopes of success again this year.
BOOSTED BY THE WAR
The war has given a great impetus
to the national dry game The lesson
so well learned in European nations,
that alcohol not only makes for inef-
ficiency in the military operations but
also involved an enormous wastage in
foodstuffs has made a serious impress
sion in America. This idea has been
diligently promoted by the Anti-Saloon
League organizations with the result
that Congress tackled a provision onto
the Food Control bill, enacting that
after thirty days, the use of foodstuffs
in the manufacture of distilled spirits
for beverage purposes should cease. It
is estimated that this will save to the
people over 3O,OOO,OOO bushels of grain
that formerly has been destroyed annu-
ally in the manufacture of beverage
spirits.
At the same time, Congress, in the
same Act, authorized the President to
take the same action toward malt
liquors should he, at any time, deem
such an act necessary. If the Presi
dent should use his powers in this di-
rection, there would be further saw
ing of nearly 100000 bushels of
grain annually as there is more than
twice as much grain used up in the
manufacture of malt liquors as in the
manufacture of spirits.
1t is to further arouse the people of
Arizona to getting in behind these ma
tional movements that the national or
ganization of drys is now conducting
these extensive operations in Arizona
which has adopted the dry policy and
whose aid is now coveted in put ting
the balance of the nation dry.

wet, this campaign for national Pro
hibition is being conducted chiefly in
States that have already adopted the

To Move Into New Store Which
Has Four Times the Space of Old

Negotiations have just been closed
whereby Orkin Bros. move from their
present location in United States Ma
tional bank building to the former
home OF the Guarantee Clothing COM
pany at Sixteenth and Douglas,
within the next few weeks.
]. l.. Orkin has just returned from
New York, where final arrangements
were completed to increase the size
Of the present store fully four times.
Orkin Bros, after disposing OF their
interests to the Burgess-Nash conf
pany, took at that time the most ac-
ceptable room in the city to launch
their present exclusive cloak store.
So successful has the venture proven
that selling space has been at pre-
MUM at all seasons OF the year.
Larger quarters became a necessity to
care for their ever-increas.ng trade,
so when the Guarantee Clothing COM
pany decided to move, Orkin Bros.
leased the building without even in
specting it, thereby not approaching
to the full extent the wonderful ad-
vantage this immense building held
forth for speciality apparel store.
The new store will be completely
remodeled. The latest ideas in ma
hogany fixtures will be installed. Sew

Measure to Prohibit Smoking

WILSON POLICY ENDORSED

lFfOHi a SlAiI correspondent
Lincoln, Jan. 30.-(Special Teie-
gram. Ut was hurry and skurry,
jump and run, this afternoon when
the house was called to order and the
time came for the introduction OF
bills. The poor pages fairly had their
tongues running out when the halt
was called and summing up of the
work showed that l24 bills had been
showed into the hopper.
This runs the number up to 528 and
the wrost is yet to come, for there
is one more day left and when the
time comes to adjourn tomorrow it is
likely that an evening session may
be resorted to if any are shut out
In the senate forty-six were put
across, running the total up to 1919.
In the house one Of the important
bills was the cigarette bill, which two
years ago was defeated. The bill pro-
vides that no person under IS years
of age can buy, smoke or have in
his possession any cigaret and any
dealer selling to minor is subject to
a heavy fine. The present law makes
it unlawful to sell to minors, but does
not prohibit the smoking, so that
there is little chance of conviction.
The present bill will make it easy to
get the evidence.
Endorsement by President Wilson's
peace address, as provided for in a
resolution introduced last week by
Lloyd Thomas, democrat, was the
only matter of the afternoon, which
gave the members of the house a
chance to talk. Mr.. Lamar. an old
time populist, opposed it, while Peter
son, republican floor leader, became
Just a trife sarcastic and remarked
that he did not believe the action Of
the Nebraska Legislature would make
mnch difference to President Wilson.
The resolution was, however,
adopted by a vote of IS to IS, six
democrats, Dafoe, Dau, Fleetwood,
Lemar, Mysenburg and Shaffer voting
against it, while six republicans, Har-
ris (Bufalo), Hostettler, Mears,
Reneker, Richard and Tracewell voted

men of the highest prominence long
before it attracted the attention OF
the chief executive. These facts make
the action about to be taken by the
president serious and formidable and
the suggestion calls upon those OF us
who believe that the plan can end in
nothing but disaster to utter note Of
warning.
THE movement to organise a
world court and to broaden to its ex-
trcine limit the field of arbitration
has always had my cordial approval
and ! have never ceased to hope that
IN the progress of time war would
become infrequent, If not impossible;
and Il Is only when it Is attempted to
confer upon such a tribunal or league
or sovereignty, II matters not how il
Is described, the power to use armies
and navies to enforce its DEGREES or
to make contracts to fight in quar-
rel not our own, that my opposition
begins"
Hitchcocks Reply.
Senator Hitchcock, who with SEN
ator Williams engineered the move
ment to kill the Cummins resolution,
insisted that the Iowa senator's criti-
cisms were based upon an erroneous
assumption that the president pro-
posed new military world power to
enforce peace. The president, SEN
ator Hitchcock declared advocated
elimination OF ornaments, the rule
of reason and the right Of all nations
10 work out their own polity "un-
hindered, unthreatened and unafraid."
The address," said Senator Hitch
cock, has met responsive chord in
every great country Of the world; it
will be the geratest instrument for
world peace at the close Of the war; II
has hastened the advent Of peace and
probably has saved millions Of lives
among the fighting nations. Since the
message was delivered there has been
a tremendous spread Of sentiment in
Europe for steps toward peace and il
is only by the aid Of a great outside
power like the United States that
peace can come"
Says Debate Futile.
The Nebraska senator predicted
that after the war there would be such
a development Of democracy and SEN
timent for popular government that a
future war would with great difficulty
be forced upon the people.
Senator Hitchcock insisted that pro-
longed debate at this time could get
the senate nowhere and that Senator
Cummins had misintcrpreted the
presidents address.

CHICAGO GRAIN

Chicago, June 20.-Reports that
President Wilson was likely soon tc
exercise his power to place an embar-

tries led to heavy liouidating sales to-
day, especially in corn. Prices for that
cereal closed nervous. Is to cents
net lower. Wheat also declined, fin
ishing | to 4 cents down. with July
at s2.01 and September at $3.50. Oats
lost u as to ~ cents. Provisions
gained ~ to Is cents
1t was said that recent unusually
large purchases of corn for European
neutrals had aroused suspicion, and
that the new authority of the prcsi-
dent could provide an Immediate and
effective bar to any of the proposed
shipments falling into hands that were
hostile to the United States Rains
that broke a serious drought in north
Texas and in Oklahoma counted to
some extent in further weakening the
market. A moderate rally was in prog
ress as the session came to an end.
Hedging sales from the southwest
and improved crop prospects had Il de-
pressing effect on wheat. New crop
offers increased rapidly, but buyers
We're scarce except at relatively low
figures.
Oats were chiefly governed by the
trend of other grains.
Assertions that the Belgian commits
sion was seeking offers helped to
strengthen the provision market.

Most Common Of Bodily Ills.

BY far the most common OF bodily
ills is con stipation. The usual cause
is the indifference Of many people to
Natures call. The inclination is not
needed. or it is put off until a more
convenient time. When this is done
repeatedly, constipation is almost sure
to follow. 1t is of the utmost import
ance that everyone establish certain
time for the bowels to move each day
and let nothing interfere with it. When
that is done and proper food and OK
ercise are taken and an abundance of
drinking water. the bowels are not
likely to give much trouble. When a
laxative is required take Chamberlain $
