Timely Jottings and Reminders.

Timely lettings and Reminders.
The Maine legislature which con-
venes today will have two important
matters as relates to the enforcement
of the prohibitory law to deal with,
a resolve providing fora constitutional
amendment to give the governor
power to remove sheriffs who fail to
enforce the law and the other bill
which would compel judges to give
straight Jail sentences in liquor cases.
A proposal for a constitutional con-
vention, private bank regulation, ELI
mination Of useless bureaus and sine
cures, revenue reforms and home rule
for Chicago of public utilities are
among the matters scheduled to be
taken up by the fiftieth general as
sembly of Illinois, which is to begin
its sessions today
Other states in which the legisla-
lures will begin their sessions today
include Vermont, North Carolina, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Colorado
and Connecticut. ...

tards the development of any coun-
try where it prevails and state land
lord would be just as unsatisfactory
as a private landlord.
To make such radical change in
the method Of disposing of these lands
after half of them are gone would
work a rank injustice not only to the
present occupants, but to counties
where they are situated. Take for ex-
ample Douglas county, the most popu-
lous and wealthiest in the state. All
of the school land in this county has
been sold and the owners are making
permanent improvements, paying taxes
and helping to build up and develop
the resources of Douglas county.
While in the poorer counties Of the
state. where these unsold lands are
found, it is proposed that one
eighteenth of the land shall be with
drawn from any chance of private
ownership, and be exempt from local
taxation to create fund the benefits
of which would be distributed accord
ing to school population. Under such
a system Douglas county, though not
contributing one penny, would receive
more benefit than the entire thirty
four counties comprising the Sixth
congressional district, where most OF
the unsold lands are located. This Is
true in the same degree with any OF
the eastern counties where the state
has sold these lands
1t is no wonder the people In the
western half of the state are Directing
to being exploited for the benefit OF
the Weather and more populous
eastern counties and are asking for
square deal at the hands of the
egislature-asking that the legfsla-
ture comply with the constitutional
mandate by providing for the sale OF
these lands T. c. PATTERSON

The National Peace Prayer.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Jan. Ito the
Editor Of The Bee: So many people
are asking the question, why did not
God answer the national peace
prayer" God deals with nation the
same as with an individual. We must
get right with God If we want to do
business with him. For proof see 2
Kings 20:3:
"1 beseech thee, o Lord, REMAINDER
now how have walked before thee in
truth and with a perfect heart and
have done that which is good in
thy sight"
Verse s: THE Lord I have heard
thy prayer, I have seen thy tears,
behold 1 will add unto thy days If
teen years"
The White House prayer reads
something like this: 90 Lord. wilt thou
give us peace in Europe by giving us
the victory over Germany. We pray
that thou will help us in this hour Of
need. And by Thy help we will do
all that is in our power in manufac-
turing munitions Of war to help kill
our brother. We love peace. but we
love filthy lucre better"
We have no proof God ever heard
the voice Of hypocrite or taken any
pleasure in hypocrisy. Is anyone still
wondering why God did not answer
the national peace prayer?

Cordial Treatment Much Appreciated.

The Bee: The following resolution was
unanimously adopted by the Nebraska
Manufacturers association at the an

%, 1916:
Resolved that the thanks Of this
convention be rendered the press of

Manufacturers association and the
Omaha Commercial club for their

Could It come about that the Ger
man people as a whole were brought
face to face with the problem OF
settling for themselves the question
Of . change In their government
without fearing that such an effort
might prove disastrous to their ar
mics, We believe peace would be in
sight. With a government-bridled
press this would be dlnicult. So. as

the German nation. free press that

wHISTLING THROUGH THE

Af- l.-l =
A recent speech Of German Chan
osllor Michaslis shows the dire
straits to which leaders Of
that government, the last
remaining civilized adherent to the
principle Of the divine right of kings.
b put. in an effort to unity the peo-
Dae behind the military aims of its
aatocratic government
In his silly contention that Ger
nany's enemies want to destroy her
and have entered into a solemn COM
yact to that end, the chancellor is
waving in the face Of his people the
Sear Of the iron-shod hoof Of con-
aueror. in an effort to revive their
waning courage Of confidence.
No reasonable person desires to
destroy Germany as a self-governing
nation That its present form Of
government viii be destroyed has
almost become axiomatic among her
enemies. But the German people
would be the nrst beneficiaries of
that allied aim. Premier and foreign
secretaries Of all the allied nations
have repeatedly insisted that Il b

fected only the people Of Germany.
II would be only their business. But

happy Poland. servia and Roumania.
German militarism, concerns Europe
and the entire world. Free nations
would DO guilty Of . neglect Of duty
should they not exert themselves to
the utmost to free the world Of this
nightmare.
Germans are fighting not for self
preservation but In a vain hope to
build for their rulers a pre-eminent
position Of domination over the rest
Of the world. Such dream carries
with II mastery by brute force.
Only yesterday Burgemaster Re-
ichke OF Berlin used remarkably
blunt language in the Berliner Zei-
tung, when he spoke Of Germany's
internal situation. In answering
the question whether Germany, after
three years OF war, could claim both
internal and external progress, he
said: "At best, the answer is a halt
ing affirmative, Those who are not
corrupted by the chase after profits
are haunted with the fear that the
country is slipping back in the rut Of
onicialism. We are not really free
people. Councils are called but the
word is passed quietly from the gov
ernment table: These people must
be treated like children What ID
wanted is a parliament that has
power; a government by men who
are not educated to believe that q
bureaucrat necessarily knows more
than an ordinary mortal. Let us bs
a free people but not free only or

present German government or the
German people will have to wiz

Diplomatic usage requires Chat Mrs'
