Nebraska Press Comment

York Republican: Says the Omaha Bee "The
United States, let it be remembered, is not out
for land or gold" That's what we heard them say
Will The Bee kindly take couple of days off and
tell us Just what the United States is out for? Z.
Rushville Standard: Senator Norris of Ne
braska, the notorious hyphenate senator dis
graced himself when he suggested the dollar
mark design for a war flag. No. senator we
are not fighting for dollars; we are fighting for
liberty, liberty of descendants, just the same
as our forefathers fought tyrant on the other
side OF the Atlantic, that their descendants might
be free. Civilization hangs in the balance, until
that mad monster, the kaiser, and his mad military
machine are crushed to rise no more. And it is
going to be crushed.
Nebraska City Press: The Omaha Bee thinks
the closing Of several hundred thirst palaces on
May should relieve the economic pressure on
the ice man and, at the same time, relieve the uti-
mate consumer by providing lower prices. Indi-
cations point in the opposite direction The ice
man in Nebraska City has announced raise in
the price of his product Is it possible that be-
cause the ice sian's largest and most extravagant
customer is to be removed on May he expects
the rest Of us to pay bill that can no longer
be presented to the saloon man?

What Should Be Done9

First war loan popularity over-subscribed by
many times the amount offered.
Second, by national law advance the standard
for milling -four, by which large percentage of
the valuable part Of the kernel, now discarded,
will be put into the -four The wheat crop was
short last year. the outlook is worse this year.
War bread should bring the war causes and needs
quickly home and conserve the food supply, Cat
tie and horses can eat grass and leaves which may
be abundant this season, but human food is falling
throughout the world. We now use only 70 per
cent Of the kernel.
Third, pass such tax bills as will give the
government war revenues and will stimulate in
dustry and capital expansion Don't tax the tools
of trade or reduce the country's capital Tax the
excess profits from increased business and leave
the capital intact. We need it both during and
after the war. Expanded capital will be the snews
of and the trade defense of the country after
ward. The per cent tax after per cent on
capital is fundamental foolishness Nobody can
for taxation purposes define capital--that mix
ture Of money, mind and manual labor. Tax the
profits; war energies increase profits; tax the in
creased profits
Fourth, stop the general revaluation of raft.
roads--a hundred millions of unnecessary ex.
pense. The war will change all valuations The
men and the money can be better employed
Fifth, have the states repeal their fuli.crew
railroad laws. This was only labor tax on the
railroads, now worse than needless
Sixth, seize the present opportunity to put OUT
educational system on proper basis linking in.
dustry schools and training for defense, both
mind and body, individually and collectively.
Seventh, then let popular loans, increased tax.
alton on increased business, war bread and mill
tary education press home to every hand and
every pocket the necessity for worldwide co
operation in the worldwide defense of that de-
mocracy, begun in this country more than lO(
fears ago.

For a coalition Cabinet.

Omaha, April 21.-To the Editor or
The Bee: Your editorial advising that
President Wilson recognize his predic-
ament, so far as the democratic party
is concerned, and place some repub-
lican leaders on his cabinet list, hits
the nail squarely on the head. First
of all, this is not partisan move
ment we are entering on; 1t concerns
all the people. If 1t were partisan
movement then the president is de-
feated by the men of his own party.
Patriotic republicans and democrats
as well realize the country's need and
are willing to sink party differences in,
their efforts to promote general good.
Without their union in congress the
presidents program for national de-
tense must fail. Then. as you have
pointed out, If the action of congress
depends on the bipartisan coalition
it is reasonable that the combination
be carried further and that the war
cabinet be made up of the best men
of both parties, that the action Of this
country will truly be that Of the peo-
Pile. PATRIOT

Guess Again.

Some said that Wilson wouldn't fight,
That somewhere In his frame
There was streak Of yellow, but
They'd better guess again.
Some people have the faculty
OF dealing out hot air.
But when the smoke has drifted by
You'll find that Wilson's there.
Your Uncle Samuel never yet
Has stood for aught but Right
And when he gets his dander up
He'd leave his feed to fight;
He'll take as much and maybe more
AS any man you know,
But when his patience peters out
He strikes a nifty blow.
The kaiser walked around awhile
On Uncle Samuels corns,
And when our Uncle shook his head,
Says he. "I'll nub your horns
Then Uncle Samuel grinned a grin
That wasn't good to see,
And said, Dear Sir, think that
viii take you DER my knee
The kaiser's banking very strong
Upon his submarines,
But Uncle Sans big guns will blow
These things to smithereens.
For Right is Right and will prevail
And every loyal man
VIII stand behind the president
And help him II he can.

The base ball bat and mask and glove.

To mountain, lake or sea-coast far;
Perhaps you basked at big hotels
Where all the moneyed people are:
But this year you will need a change
You will not need your festive duds-
Clad In pair Of overalls-
You can raise spuds.
In summers past your Uncle Sam
Has made Vacation land SO fair

For tourists seking change Of air;
Now Uncle Sammy is In need
Just blow from off your life the suds
And show you're made Of real stuff,
BY raisn' spuds.

| Don't hoard them till the prices soar;
