What Are We DoSng9
Minnsapolis Journal !.

In 1868 the suffering in Lancashire, England,
was very great Operatives by the l0,OO0 had
no work, because no cotton came through our
blockade Of southern ports. England was actu-
longed civil war. France also was put to in
convenience and loss. Europe did not believe
that the north could conquer the south. Many
in the north despaired and others frankly worked
for peace acknowledging the confederacy. In
the next year the democratic party was to de-
clare the war failure and to nominate candi-
date pledged to stop it
II at such juncture Queen Victoria and Ma
poleon III had addressed to President Lincoln
such note as our president has now sent to the
have been keen. We should have considered
their suggestion as aid and comfort to the enemy
mo less We would have gone on in the war,
but we should have felt that we had been stabbed
in the back.
President Wilson by his note comes near in
curing just such bitter resentment against US,
The French the Russian. the British peoples are
bound to feel that we acting in behalf of Ger

That we do not imagine ourselves as dong any
thing Of the sort has no effect to amend their be-
lief Nor will the plea Of our convenience or ne
cessity be accepted by them. Actually the war
has enriched us, they will say, and it we would
put up with the Lusitania we afford to endure
the minor inconvenience Of the blockade.
For one thing Mr.. Wilson's note commits this
nation 10 league Oh peace. SuI PditiSiPdtioH
in such league is offered, indeed, as considera
ton to induce the making Of peace. The mem
bership would not be limited in its duties to mere
counsel and precept it would obligate us to fight

Under the Monroe doctrine the United States

Let No Guilty Man Escape"

1t looks as il President Wilson were facing a
condition not unlike that in which President
Grant found himself forty-two years ago. Let
no guilty man escape" said the great soldier
president when warned that the inquiry into the
Great Whisky Ring" would come very close to
his official family, and he gave full aid to the
Investigations that disclosed the culprits. The
mere naming OF Mr. Wilson's private secretary
and his brother -in-law in connection with the
Wall street scandal does not implicate them, but
the president must see TO it that his immediate
household is kept above even suspicion Of trafick-
ing in state secrets to promote stock gambling
profits.
The house committee having the matter in
charge talks of sercet inquiry. Congressman
Wood who forced the house to order the investi-
cation saying he does not wish witnesses to testify
openly although he has publicly named Mr.. Tu-
multy and Mr. Boiling as possible parties to the
deal Too much OF huggermuggering is already
noted in this case The authorities should go to
the bottom OF the affair and see that the mis-
creants, no matter how high or low their sta
ton or how intimate their connection, with the
government are exposed and brought to an ac-
counting

New Moves in Mexico.

Some important modification of Mr.. Wilson's
dealings with the Mexcans seem to impend. Con-
dtions have so developed that the withdrawal Of
General Pershing's force is necessary, if we are
to resume "watchiul waiting" Our soldiers below
the border are now in imminent danger of attack,
both from Villa and Carranza Villa has in
creased his following until he has again become
formidable figure in the problem, and unless
the United States is ready to make further use
less sacrifice OF its soldiers, il must either with
draw or speedily reinforce those who are now To-
Gated in Mexico.
Carranza's refusal to consider any sort OF pro-
tocol for the protection of the border until after
Pershng has left Mexico, and the recall Of his
representative, Senior Arrendondo, from Wash
ington, would indicate either purpose to break
with Wilson or an understanding as to proceed
ings. There are signs, however, that Mr.. Wilson
expects shortly to drop Carranza and allow some
other leader to come to the fore. Who will be
favored has been the topic for considerable specu-
lation around Washington. Oregon, once looked
upon as a possible successor to Carranza, has
shown his lack Of capacity and none other Of the
first chiefs party appears strong enough to rally
the support he will need. Felix Diaz is reported
to be gaining in strength and looms bigger now
than he has since the days Of the Huerta rebel
lion against Madero but this may all be the work
Of clever publicity agents. Nothing is certain in
the situation but uninterrupted anarchy in Mexico
and continued danger spots on the border.

University Cadets in Reserve Corps.

Admission OF the cadet corps Of the Univer-
sity Of Nebraska to the reserve force Of the
United States army under the national defense
act, is an important step ahead for Nebraska. 1t
means that the military training. which has been
a traditional part OF the course at the University
Of Nebraska, and which all men students are ex-
pected to take, is to be made of more real serv-
ice Its added importance means added work,
but this will be compensated for by the greater
recognition enjoyed by those who go through it
with credit.
1t also means that Nebraska will contribute
its share to the reserve force of educated and
trained young men qualified to act as officers for
whatever civilian army must be raised il ever
this country should have to defend itself, 1t has
always been a most serious problem to provide
officers for the volunteer army but the big
schools and universities Of the country are now
assisting in the problems solution and Nebraska
is to be in line with the others.

Slaves Once Sold IN Nebraska


That slavery was actually practiced in the
state OF Nebraska in its early days will probably
be news to most Nebraskans, but il is neverthe
less fact. H. Halderson, local attorney IN
the course Of his studies a couple OF years ago
found what he thought indications that slaves had
been bought and sold in the state at one time.
History gave no mention OF it whatever But as
thorough student he began an investigation'
more to satisfy his curiosity than anything else
He wrote to various places where he thought IN
formation on the subject might be forthcoming,
such as the State Historical society, etc. but moth
ing definite could be given. They, however, en-
couraged him to continue the Investigations and
finally he traced case OF this kind to Nebraska
City The clerk OF the district court OF that city
after going over the records, FIRST claimed he
could find no indications of anything OF the kind,
but later wrote:

Why Not Eat Corn NoaU9

Justly dismissins as. "a legislative impossible
ity" the embargo on wheat asked by bakers and
millers, Representative Raney Of Illinois urges
bill permitting the use Of cornmeal with -four for
bread-making mixture in interstate commerce
Twenty per cent OF corn, as proposed, does
make an excellent -four. But American families
need no legislation to use much more Of this ma
tive food. Properly cooked, corn is wholesome
and heartening in variety Of forms. Ignorant
cooks spoil it by too much shortening or make it
need1essly expensive by the addition of eggs.
1t is odd that food so rich in calories is more
eaten in our south than in the north Ii is much
the same in Europe. During the famine OF l847

corn sent to them "Cornbread" Murphy, patri.

Governors and Good Roads.

Both Governors Morehead and Neville dis
cuss good roads for Nebraska in their messages
to the legislature, but in such an ultra-conserva
tive way as to suggest timidity Governor More
head points out the immense service to the state
Of substantial highway system, but goes no fur
Their. Governor Neville expresses the opinion that
satisfactory highways may be had from dirt He
also suggests state board Of advisory capacity
only and division OF cost Of main thoroughfares
between the county, the state and the nation.
None Of these suggestions meets the needs Of the
state nor is it likely that anything that could be
accomplished under them would fill the require
ments Of the national post roads law.
What Nebraska needs is good substantial
paved highways over which the millions Of tons
OF state products may be hauled at low cost to the
producer. To secure these, general plan should
be adopted, and the work should be under the d.
rection and control of the state. Local work can
be made to conform to the general plan, to the
end that no more money be wasted on roads
that disappear with each rain Between three
and four millions Of dollars are now expended
each year in Nebraska under what Governor Ne.
vile calls local control" and has been so ex
pended for many years, and the state is YET
without highways worthy Of the name.
Nebraska ought to get something for the
money its people spend on highways, but thi'
will not come through haphazard construction
Definite plans carried out through term OF year:
will soon bring benefits that are now longed for
