Future Of German Commerce.

One phase OF the war that has been overlooked
is being forced to larger attention by reason of
recent Developments 1t is the future Of Ger
many's exterior commerce. Through long and
persistent effort the Germans had built up great
trade with the world This necesstated not only
cultivation OF friendly relations with possible GUS
toners but required the establishment of an elab-
orate system OF financial and transportation faci-
ties, which were provided with that degree of eff
cheney that made the nation such power In the
beginning Of the conflict it was alleged that Ger
many had been forced into the war in order that
it might protect this commerce, on which the
industrial life of the empire depended Jealousy
on the part of Great Britain and others of the
competitors for world trade was said to be ham,
pering the German, and in order to make sure of
the future the present must be defended
In two directions was it possible to extend
German trade-in China and in the Americas. To
these outlets for future production the Germans
had given especial attention. How great the in
fuence exerted by them is only coming to be
understood now through the fact that it has been
sacrificed by the pursuit of the ruthless military
policy adopted by the great Prussian machine.
With China estranged, the South American coun-
tries openly at war and all the great machinery
for transporting and financing the commerce OF
the empire disrupted or destroyed, the extent Of
the ruin brought on Germany by the war party
is apparent.
Germany's war lords staked the future of their
country's commerce on cast of the war dice,
and have lost No nation ever faced future OF
greater economic difficulties than that now con-
fronting the Germans.

Poles Line Up for Liberty.

No finer example Of the impulse for liberty
could be had than that afforded by the young
Poles Of Omaha who have so enthusiastically de-
clared for liberty in the most effectual way pos
sibc-by enlisting in the army of the United
States. These young men have double inspira-
tion in their movement; they realize far better
than some Of the native born just what life under
Old Glory means and they have also the present
wrongs of Poland to consider. Kosciusko and
Sobieski are more than names to them, and liberty
is a reality in their lives Freedom appeals to
them as 1t did to their fathers, and, that it may
not be impaired, they are willing to give all a
man can give to the cause. They do not enlist as
Poles, but as Americans, even though Poland
will benefit by their sacrifice in the end Amer
leans may well observe this movement and take
inspiration from it. for it is splendid act in a
cause that involves the future Of humanity.

Partisanship in the Senate.

A deplorable spectacle is presented in the
United States senate just now, where certain
democratic senators are playing party politics in
a way that will really hamper the government.
Leslie Woolsey, long connected with the State
department OF the United States government has
been nominated by the president to be solicitor
for the department. His confirmation is opposed
end may be defeated by group of democrats in
the senate, who conceal their real purpose behind
trivial pretexts. No question is made of Mr..
Woolsey's ability; his work has won high praise
from those who are in position to judge OF its
character.
Since the relations OF the United States and
the European countries became critical Mr..
Woolsey has been of invaluable service in gath
ering the data, arranging the points and in some
instances drafting the notes that have been sent
from this country. He is credited with having
written the note to Austria in reply to the protest
from that country on the expectation of NUM-
tions, statement Of the case so clear and con-
vincing it will stand as precedent
He was recommended to the president by
Secretary Lansing and by Attorney General Greg
ory who vouches for his qualifications as law
yer. The president nominated him, but his name
is objected to because he is not a practicing
lawyer
incidentally, Mr., Woolsey told inquiring sena-
tors that he is republican in politics. Also, as
bit Of light on the situation, several deserving
democrats" have sought the place, and one of
them may get it, should the nomination Of Mr..
Woolsey be rejected. While this is going on
Chairman Wilcox and Chairman Mccormick OF
the national organizations are working side by
side and urging members of all parties to forget
their partisan affiliations at this time
1t is pretty hard to fathom the workings of
the minds of some democrats. In this case only
the nation can lose, and all the party can gain
will be another name on the pay roll.

Shumway's Great Discovery.

Land Commissioner Shumway has made start
ling discovery-that the State Normal board is an
illegal body and that has spent millions Of dollars
Of the states money without warrant. The COM
missioner is to be commended for his zeal, show
ing true democratic propensity for guarding the
treasury, but if he gets little further into the
mysterious intricacies Of the state government he
will very likely discover the normal board is well
within the law. One Of the fctions under which
the complicated machinery for Nebraska's govern
ment has been built up under constitutional re-
striction has been the deputizng of authority by
the governor. This doesn't apply specifically to
the normal board, but by little stretching Of
the constituton-whch already has endured some
decided expansion under pull--it may be found
that the principle which permits the governor to
deputize his authority, and which also contem-
plates the continuance Of appropriations by the
faintest of implication, will also serve to validate
expenditure of state money by the board in ques-
tion. The State Normal board may be a useless
appendage to the administrative machinery of the
state but it will require some argument to prove
1t illegal. Commissioner Shumway can readily
establish name for himself as "strict eonstruc-
zionist" il he SO desires, but he will not endear
himself to his fellow democrats by adhering too
closely to the constitution. 1t isn't fashionable in
his set

people and may feel somewhat sighted
by our oversight in not displaying the
Italian colors along with those of
France and England. A few years ago
a splendid demonstration was held by
Omaha Italians to honor Christopher

might do would be to honor the nation
