Security Against Futurs Ware

Whatever may be the course OF peace nepoti-
atoms, or the drift OF peace tendencies the cues
tion OF safeguards against another such upheayaI
will grow IN importance All the world is con-
cerned IN the great adjustment yet to come. Neu-
trial nations have large stake in it, as every ON.
Of them cam see. To put out conAagration
specifically, and allow the sparks to blow around
without control, would be folly inviting another
calamity. One unquestionable result of the war
standing out distinctly at this time is that all the
belligerents have been more or less disappointed
Not one has crushed an adversary Of like size, or
pressed is that building up and maintaining vast
armament is practically certain in the end to cause
a war that will begin suddenly, drag in other ma
tons. and be an affection to all The United
States has profted financially by the conflict rag
ing throughout Europe, but this country courts
no such blood-staned gains. If the question could
be submitted to American voters there would be
an overwhelming majority against any more wars
Of the kind. They inhict misery beyond calcula-
ton, cast shadow over all mankind and halt the
march of civilization. They derange the commerce
OF the earth, and benefit no nation in way Ia
balance the injuries sustained.
The principle that no more such wars shall
occur must necessarily become more and more
important in the responsible movements in behalf
OF peace. Without this security any formula for
peace would be deusive. II any nation arms
acknowledging no restraint it does not choose to
impose upon itself, other nations must arm in the
same way and be similarly tempted to use the
strength, perhaps on some impulse Of the instant
The unexpected happens, but it should find no
country willing to act in haste without regard
TO the rights OF Others, or the demands of COM
mon humanity.
There will be real advance along the road
to peace as soon as measures to prevent other
wars of the kind from breaking loose are estab-
lished by common voluntary agreement

Farmers, Meetings This Month.

Many announcements are coming in OF meet
ings Of farmers set for the present month"; to be
held in various county seats and at Lincoln to
consider topics Of importance to the states chief
est industry that Of agriculture These meetings
are good sign, for they show the increasing
progress OF the farmers of Nebraska When it
is considered that the entire gold output of the
United States for the year 1915 will barely buy
the wheat yield Of Nebraska for 1916, and that
the aggregate value of the farm products for the
state last year exceed the gold output of the
world by many Millions some notion of the ex-
tent of the industry may be had But the farmer
is not content to rest on this achievement and is
going after more. He knows it is possible to
improve the yield Of all crops, and the breed of
all live stock; that the dairying and poultry
industries have not been brought to their most
efficient point, and that he has incentive to ad-
vancement IN all directions. At these annual con-
situations the exchange of experience, of new
ideas and plans gives him the knowledge he
needs to make his work more effective and thus
to increase the general good of the state What
ever else may be said of him, the Nebraska
farmer of today is among the most theoretically
progressive of his class.

Legislature Starts Important Session.

The Nebraska legislature is beginning what
may be made one Of the most important sessions
in the states history. Its members have the OPP
portunity to distinguish themselves by dsinter-
ested and patriotic action, and the harmony that
marked the preliminary organization BODIES we'll
for the coming days. Nebraska has little need
for many new laws; indeed, the state might be
served better If some Of the laws now on the
book were stricken of. Matters Of general pub
lie interest to be dealt with at this session include
road and school laws, changes in the primary
law proposals for shorter ballot, for constitu-
tional convention and for new state house. It
may be expected that many bills affecting public
and private interests will be presented following
established precedent and it is also expected that
the members will give these careful attention, to
the end that useless or harmful measures do not
block the way for those that are needed and sal
utary. Sinister motives may be looked for be-
hind some of the bills that will be presented,
and it behooves the members to keep careful
watch for these. Action already taken, provid-
ing for special committee to have charge of all
bills dealing with the enforcement of the prohib-
tory amendment, means a great saving of time
and shows the legislators appreciate part of what
is before them. The session should produce
benefit for the state, but this cannot be done
through passing too many laws

High Tide in Omaha Banks.

Statements Of condition at the close OF bust
ness on December n, which means the end Of
the year, show the Omaha banks to be in splendid
condition so far as deposits and loans are con-
cerned. An increase in total loans of $2,00O,0O0
over the November showing and decrease of
less than 100000 in deposits indicates that the
high tide Of money is still running this way.
With almost ninety-six millions of dollars on
deposit In thirteen banks, the strong position Of
Omaha in the financial world is emphasized,
while the figures give much better proof of the
importance of the city as business center. That
the holiday drain on resources made such slight
difference in the totals is satisfactory sign that
the activities Of trade incident to the closing days
of the year were remarkably well balanced. No
better evidence Of the solidity of Omahas growth
could be furnished than these banking figures.

Common Sense Prohibition Enforcement.

1t goes without saying that any person. or
any group of persons, has the privilege of draft
ing bills on any subject and proposing them to
the legislature but the lawmakers, representing
all elements of the people must be responsible for
whatever measures are finally enacted 1t is per-
fecty proper for the agencies active in the
campaign for the prohibition amendment to sug-
gest means and methods OF enforcement yet
folks imbued with the zeal of crusaders some
times overshoot the mark and this danger must
be guarded against by those who pass the laws.
Z Nebraska voted the saloon out of business,
voted to abolish authority to issue licenses to
sell liquor except for medicinal, scientific and
sacramento purposes-in a word, voted to make
the whole state as dry as the dry cities towns
and villages had been and are. The problem
therefore, is to prevent bootlegging, masked un-
der whatever subterfuge or disguise and, with
the increased incentive, the penalties of the
Slocumb law may have to be strengthened to this
end and amplihed in certain directions. They
should, at any rate, be distinctly defined to apply
to social clubs and convivial societies. otherwise
we will have plethora of fake clubs for drinking
purposes only. Soliciting orders for liquors by
personal canvass, by distributing handbis, by
advertisement in the newspapers and periodicals,
on bill boards or in street cars should also be
forbidden if it is the desire to repress artificial
demand for the importation of packages" The
ordinary machinery Of the law however, should
be able to cope with the situation without load
ing down the treasury with a newly created
retinue OF Official ferrets, breath-smellers and
back-door sneaks.
Since, then, there common sense ways of
enforcing prohibition and freak ways that merely
defeat themselves, our Nebraska lawmakers will
find safety in sanity.
