mt only this but many other ques. tors of great import.

There was decided droop in the
 telegraphic press dispatches yester- day. The usual number of words, and even more. were received but
 trey did not express much. The president was busy and rtfused 10 tslk So it was with Secretary taus- Ing who Is usually good for a mild tfrill or two every day. Everybody was secretly at work but nothing was dcne in the eyes of the public. The aspect was negative: Neutral Euro pean nations would not allow ships to leave port. No war news was al- lowed to leave London. There Is 'it- Il. interest in negatiol although .re- quently 1t may serve as a fertile fi,ld for speculation. Is this the Hull t.etore the storm7 Or ts Il the quiet
 that follows the tempest. Is Ger many's warfare now being considered as an affront by the administration?
 Is the Teuton.c defiance of .he world
 a thing to be lightly passed over by
 our government? Or is our president
 at the end of his patience and Is he
 planning to use force in opposition to
 force7 Whatever he is doing. 1t Is
 with deliberation. He knows the
 facts, he knows something of the fu-. ture plans of both the allies and the
 Germanic powers, he has some good advisers and in a national crisis like this can call for the aid of the best
 bIsIns in America, therefore he may
 Dc safely left to work out the i'm
 mediate destiny of the country. Prob atly he will do the wisest thing. But
 if he does not: if he falters. or per-
 hrps blunders fatally, he Is still our pi esident and as people we will stand with him whether 1t means peace or war. This is not time for policies. We are now a country whose chief executive has been chosen for another four years. He was the choice of the majority. even if a po- tent element of that majority were women casting their first ballot. and as such is the head and front of our country. He will strive to do the right thing in this difficult crisis. We think he will do the wise thing. But, as Roosevelt said, we must be for onr country whether right or wrong.
 Sc far as the disaptches of yester- day went the only positive, aggressive fo, ce in the world-maelstrom was Germany. That nation knew just what it wanted to do and how to do it. Regardless of the rights of others . 1t started on its predetermined course. It stakes everything on its own abil- fly to attain its end. It disdained the need of even one friend amongst the neutrals. It virtually defied them and said that in a death grapple such as the present petty techniaclities will no longer be allowed to play a part. Force, and force only, is to be the final court of appeal.

Nebraska

Tho following tribute to Nebruska ,oas
paid in the House by the Hon. Charles o.
Lobeck:
NEBRASKA will produce a grand total
~ Of 21,5OO,OOO bushels Of food pro-
ducing cereals in excess Of last years
yield. Here is proof Of Nebraska's response
to tho nations call for greater production,
and she will respond to the purposes OF
this bill and help conserve these commodi-
ties and prevent gambling and specializing
in them.
Yes; Nebraska has produced, and will
conserve. When war was declared she
came forward with her full quota of re-
cruits for the army and the navy. She over
subscribed tho Liberty Loan bonds and
her quota to the Red Cross. In the opera
ton Of the selective draft law not single
disorder was reported, and to-day the
youths Of the state are obeying the Com
mander in Chief Of the Army and Navy
by coming forward for service as their
names are called, because they have faith
in the President and in his purposes in
carrying on the war.

because otherwise the fermentation would

So 1t was necessary to add brandy to
check the natural fermentation OF the
grapes. But these men who had discov-

eighteen years ago got from Congress
concession of a Scent rate instead OF
81 10 rate, where the brandy was used only
for making the sweet wine. Hence, during
that period of about seventeen years the
sweet wine industry has grown and de-
veloped. Now 1t is proposed to put the
brandy used in the fertilization of sweet
wine-that is, for arresting the fermenta-
tion-upon practically the same basis as
commercial brandy. If that is done, say
with absolute confidence, from the infor-
nation which have, that the sweet wine
industry will be destroyed.

The Philadelphia "Tageblatt" Attempts Defence

has happened to our colleagues In Chicago.
Pittsburgh and elsewhere, for freedom OF
speech and press and divers other liberties
have been thrown to hell, especially since we
have begun to fight for humanity and de-
mocracy'."
The day after the Philadelphia "Tage-
blatt" had been raided the "Taegliche ILL.,
rois Staatszeitung," Of Chicago, said:
apemoer.eies differ from sutocraeies prin-
eipally in this, that the latter restrict as
much as possible the right Of free speech,
whilst the former grant II freely to their
citizens And they are bound to grant II, be-
cause democratic. are supposed to express
by the acts of their governments the will and
the consent Of their peoples. But how can
those governments ascertain this will il they
refuse to grant the individual citizens or
groups Of citizens or their press organs the
right to express their opinions"
The same "Taegliche Illinois Staatszeit-
ung" has carried on its editorial page
every day since September statement
of "OUR POLICY" pledging support to
this country and its government. The
statement concludes: "Thus the illinois
Staatszeitung' stands for the very best IN
terest of the United States, in which It was
born over seventy years ago and in which
it has thrived."
An editorial in the same paper reads IN
part:
at has been repeated, until the people have
become tired Of hearing il, that the German
press without exception declared its loyalty
in the fateful hour when America decided to
wage war on Germany, and has since chung to
this policy. Since that time the German press
has never exhibited or recommended SYM
pathes with the German government or its
measures"
This statement Is thus commented on,
with bitter sarcasm, by the "New-Yorker
Volks-Zeitung":
1.-THE crime of the German Ann rican press
of the type of the illinois Stsatszeitung' and
the 'New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung' was that they
sided with the imperial Junker government Of
Germany and never with the German people.
IL is to no avail that this policy has been
changed on. Of certain eonsidsrations."

Sweet Wine
By Senator Phelan

WE ARE discussing revenue measure
w and I must assume that the Senate
is interested only in that phase Of the VINE
controversy which affects the revenue.
There is certainly no attempt being made
now to restrict the use OF wine, although
the most effective way to destroy an indus
try is to tax it to death.
It so happens that the State OF Califor-
MIA produces 80 per cent Of all the WINE
made in the United States; therefore the
tax does not in an economic sense affect to
any degree, certainly not to the same de-
GREE. other American communities. Hence
II has always been incumbent upon the
CONSERVATIVES of California in this body
n exnlain the situation. Needless to say,
the great state of California Is not SEEK
inc in any manner to avoid the payment
of nc inst dues. am sure this industry,
in common with all other industries OF
California. will pay every last cent neces-
sarv for the conduct Of this war, and the
orIv plea I am making to-day is not IN
avoidance Of taxation, but in defence OF
the life of the industry itself. l am ad-
vised by those most competent to Judge
that the tax proposed by the committee
would certainly be destructive to the
sweet wine industry Of California.
There are dry wines and there are sweet
wines The dry wines contain less than
IA per cent of alcohol, the sweet wines IN
excess of IA per cent. The sweet VINE is

the little damage that has been done to the

article by William Bayard Hale, whose

are notorious. This particular efuslon

President Wilson as responsible for the
continuation Of the war.
But in other columns the less art1ul
members of the "Tageblatt's" editorial
staff continued the same old policy of open
German propaganda. For instance:
"The English government announced that
Wilson has answered the Popes peace pro-
pcsal for England and In accordance with her
ns rception. John Bull always finds somebody
behind whom he is able to shield himself"
The "Sonntagsbummler" (the man who
writes gossipy articles for the Sunday
edition. will not publish anything until
further notice. This writer, Alfredo, was
advised by his counsel not to write further
for publication until the "Tageblatt'
prosecution is over.
"They in Petrograd," says another ar
ticle in the same edition, "are prevented
from knowing that English egotism is be-
hind the apparent principle of right,
Therefore, English Vaccinations intend to
drape the policy of power with the seem
ing reasons of right. As far as the ques-
ton of Alsace- Lorraine is concerned there
is, after the rights of Germany and the
will of the Alsatians have been made clear

By this article the "Tageblatt" attempts
to prove that Alsace-Lorraine rightfully
belongs TO Germany.

Imprisonment of not less than five years,
or even with death, and continued:

sition, as may be seen from the above. they
are. it 1, true, not conscious Of any guilt, but
they know that anything is possible under the

aking Other Folks Bear the
wi Financial Burden

Louis Werner, the editor in chief and
real boss Of the Philadelphia "Tageblatt,"
sees an opportunity to have the costs OF his
process betrayed by other people. On Sep
TENDER IS he issued the following appeal to
his readers!
"Ths Philadelphia Tsgeblatt needs at
present the aid Of It's friends. Now their
fsithfuln.ss is being proved. The business OF
the 'Tageblstt' Is much disarranged, because
all the books Of Its business once have been
seized Therefore, money cannot be collected
a. present. Furthermore. the impending
process costs money. A 'Tageblatt defence
committee will be organized and an appeal
made 70 the friends Of the paper for financial
assistance. In the meantime Mr. Henry Nell
son has willingly undertaken the defence OF
the 'Tareblatt.' But the work will probably
be too onerous for him alone, and it will be
necessary to retain another prominent law
yer. That costs money. There will be other
EXPENSES in connection with this affair. The
'Tsgeblstt,' we are sure, will not be left In
the lurch by its friends
Still more urgent Is an appeal printed
