A Nebraska Ideas
from the Minneapolis Il.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
II am still sorry congress was STAN
peded into war says Professor Per-
singer. of the history department of the
University of Nebraska.
Congress stampeded into war! Is that
the kind of history they are teaching in
Nebraska? What is their authority ?
Hasn't there been danger of war ever
since the l1usitania went down? Why
did the president go through the country
A year and a half ago warning the people
against the possibility of war and urg-
ing them TO face the POSSIBILITY? And
didn't the president do his level best to
keep up out of war for two years and a
half? Haven't the members of congress
had any knowledge OF what was going on
in the world and Of how the honor of our
nation and the rights OF our people were
being tramp!ed upon by an arrogant bully:
Were they ignorant Of the threat and Of
the execution Of the threat Of unrestricted
submarine warfare? Did the dismissal OF
Bcrnstorff give them no intimat:on that
there was trouble ahead? And. finally,
two months later. when the president
asked congress for action was it TO de-
clare war or to recognize formally what
already everybody knew-that a state Of
war existed?
And yet the history department OF the
University Of Nebraska talks about stam-
peding congress- into war. That isn't his
tory, that's nonsense.

Why Equal s~uffras. Won in England

From the London Observer.
Inc remarkable triumph of the women's
cause means, OF course, that the women's
part IN our struggle has made a profound
impression ON the nation. Few people out
side munition factories know the full ex-
tent OF their share in the war. They nave
thrown themselves into work Of every
kind. 1ull OF danger to life and health.
nafH, dlsagreeable, monotonous, incessant,
with a self sacrifice which has known no
limits. The world has always known that
q woman will not spare herself for her
cnlldren and 1t hears today that the cause
Dl thelr country commands q devotion not
less absolute. Doctors in munition areas
tell moving stories Of women who struggle
on from day to day, Worn out and ex-
hausted In mine and body, refusing to take
2 spell of rest. In many factories it has
been found necessary to alter machines
because women, in their impetuous deyo-
tion, were working at a pace which was
fatal to health, and the only way to
steady their industry was to limit the
pace OF the machine. In the early days
Df the ministry Of munitions. as we learn
from the reports Of the health committee,
the warning lessons of the industrial rev0-
luton were often forgotten, and demands
were made on the physical ~tenaclty Of
women and girls of which nobody can
read without wincing. These reports will
form part Of the heroic literature Of the
var. TO these citizens who were free
born the women of England can reply
Is justly as the noble soldiers and sailors
who are now enfra nrhised. With a great
price obtained I this freedom

GETTING Out From Under.

II is probably quite natural that
