The Los Angeles Times has had more than a far share of troubles. It has had it out with labor unions. with greedy corporations and with political bosses and it concludes that an editors lot is far from pleasant. Orly those who have never tried to run paper will not agree to this. One day the editor is an amiable angel and the next a clammy toad to be srrned with loathlng. It all depenQs whether he is viewed with the rosy srec,acles of snug complacency or the baleful vision or one who rlses from his couch suffering from liver lrou- bic and bad tas,e ia his mouth. If'e tate ot the newspaper nun IS that or the neutral nation or the private peace-maker. In the one case he is bufteted on all his borders, and in the other he is kicked in the slats by both husband and wife.
 The frail.ies or excesses of the edi- tor are given to the whole world in
 
 black ink oI white paper. His short e ming and his long goings are pub lie property. More often he is abused fer what he does not, rather than for what he does.
 A favorite pastime of the irresponsi- ble layman i5 to dream of owning a paper long enough to rip somebody up the back. Yet if the editor does happen to tread on the tail of a coat the result IS either libel suit, d fight or lost subscriber. Editorial pra !se is seldom appreciated but editorial criticism is always strongly and hct- ly resented. Speak kind words about Smith for a whole lifetime and he will contentedly accept them as his due. but let dinky little item creep in that places him in an unpleasant position and all the good things that have gone before are forgotten. He never tried to do the paper any good before and now he takes up a club or axe and does all the damage pos- sii le. He raves and rages like a cid- Cat,

To the ordinary newspaper reader the great est newspaper crime in the world is Inc sappIess1on of salaeious news.

 In times of a great war. poloticai e,,lnpa.s"s, proaIbIuon, and what not, the editor can keep his bark from the shoals only by the most careful r, tng.

If yol sing d litele song for a protec- tive tariff other partisans will want to know why an American cannot stand behind our noble president If d paper does happen to chip in a word of praise for some official act of our noble presden, the old guard thu ows out open hin.s of treachery.
 In the olden days when a man ac- quired full-sized grudge against newspaper he was apt to go hunting Ger the editor armed with horse pistols Y d other venomous cutlery. Nowa- ddys he merely rings him up on the itLone, r9lls tlm a dodo-domcd de- islict, and asks that the paper be stopped. IL Saa't be done. That particular subscription may be can celled but the paper never stops.

President, Peace and the Country.

Senator James Hamilton Lewis from Illinois
whose remarkable performance in the senate as
tonished the country few days ago, has Just
returned from conference with the president
bringing the information that the executive does
not share with the democratic whip of the senate
the view that the time is ripe to discuss peace
terms. Quite on the contrary, Mr.. Wilson as
sured the senator OF his total lack OF faith in the
sincerity OF Germanys peace feeers No one
has better reason to look askance at any proffer
from Germany than our president German equiv
ocation with this country has been very thor
oughly established by events before and since we
went into the war. Nor is it possible to see an
acceptable peace on any basis so far tentatively
suggested as acceptable to the German war party
Peace talk now heard at home emanates from
thoughtless folks or from pro-German sources
These latter are zealously at work striving to
weaken American determinations to chill Ameri-
can enthusiasm and to defeat American spirit by
dividing the American people. Prattle about this
being rich mans war about the wishes of the
people not having been consulted, is INDUCED in
by these insidious foes at home Seeking thereby
to discourage the willing and strengthen the un-
willing in their resistance Papers formerly open
IN their sympathy with the German cause now
print columns calculated to confuse and bewider
their readers and covertly suggest what they
dare not openly avow. Men are willing others
should fight that they may reap the rewards in
safety and these find inspiration in examples of
men placed in high position who boast OF their
patriotism, but show lack of it.
The time is very near when all men will have
to fly their true colors. No American citizen is
in this war merely for the sake of war itself or
because he wants to be in it, but because Our ma
ton as such was confronted by the stern neccs-
sty of defending its rights and the lives and prop
erty OF its citizens. With such stake every man
VIII eventually be put squarely on record, either
Tor or against America, and no dodging.
Omaha daily bee., 1917-08-08

Copies OF the Congressional Record now at
hand disclose details of the debate and proceed
ings in the senate on the national prohibition
amendment. Submission of this amendment for
ratification by the states was finally ordered Sub
ject to similar action by the house, by vote OF
65 to TO- one of the twenty being our own demo-
cratic United States senator from Nebraska, who
answered NO" Notwithstanding the fact that the
very same election that returned him to the sem
ate last fall by plurality of l723 also carried
the state dry" by majority of 29,442.
In his speech on the subject Senator Jones of
Washington enumerated twenty-five states now in
the dry" column and of the senators representing
these states only two-Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska and Senator Hardwick of Georgia-are re-
corded among the Noes" Fearing possible mis-
understanding of his position, Senator Hardwick
presented this explanation:
Il am unable to support this proposition on
principle and think it my duty to state briefly
the reasons why cannot do so. In the first
place, three years ago when | submitted my
candidacy for the senate to the people of Geor-
gia | stated emphaticay and positively that /
could not and would not support such an
amendment. | was elected to the senate with
that declaration ON my lips probably not be-
cause of it, possibly in spite of it. | consider
that | am bound, in honor, to vote in the sem
ate as | stated to the people would vote il
elected to the senate. | cannot subscribe to
the monstrous doctrine that pledges in politics
are not just as binding on honorable men as
pledges in business or in any of the personal
relations OF life. | do not so regard it. Having
taken position in opposition to this amend
ment while seeking election, | am bound to
stand by it after election, unless had honestly
changed my mind on the merits Of the question
and could frankly avow it, giving the reasons
tor my change OF opinion. have not done So
| am opposed to this amendment now for the
same reasons precisely that | was opposed to
1t when | was candidate for the senate"
Another explanation offered by Senator POM
creme of Ohio to justify his vote mo" set forth
that Ohio had rejected statewide prohibition three
times in four years and continued:
I'm my judgment | must either ignore what
seems to be the advice OF my people as evil
denced by the results of the elections have lust
referred to, by voting in favor of it, or | must
vote in favor OF what believe is the Judgment
OF the people OF my state, by voting against this
amendment"
Quite few other senator's, likewise, took pains
to put into the record for justification of their
votes for or against submitting national prohibition
the votes OF their respective constituencies for or
against statewide prohibition as proof of their
responsiveness to the wishes of the people at
home.
Despite careful search, no explanation offered
by Senator Hitchcock is to be found in the Rec
ord. Through all this three days discussion he,
for once, was as dumb as an oyster, except when
answering to the roll call
