Our Industrious Legislators.

Douglas county members of the legislature
have shown themselves to be deeply devoted to
their duties, II this devotion is to be measured
by the number Of bills introduced. Two hundred
and sixty-four measures have been proposed by
the seventeen senator's and representatives from
this county This indicates enterprise and en-
thusiasm In research work. as well as industry
for ii takes much digging in Nebraska to discover
that many subjects for new laws. To be sure,
the Douglas county bunch has had the help of
a large number of admiring constituents anx-
ious to see their legislators rank up with the
others. Many Of these are vitality concerned in
having their pay raised, or seek to obtain fayors
OF other kind. Thus personal interest as well as
local pride had had some effect on tn result
However, the record viii show that the members
are quite industrious in starting things regardless
Of their finish, which fact will be Aourished from

Time for Reflection.

President Wilson's announcement that he
would take night to reflect after he had made
up his mind has had good effect, apparently, on
the country. Wall street, which fairly represents
popular moods, faced business on the opening day
Of the week in calm and deliberate way, with
prices well sustained and transactions taking
normal course. This suggests that reflection
over night has convinced the public that the
situation is not entirely desperate, and that for
the present at least commercial and industrial &C
tivities will proceed as usual. The government
is taking necessary steps to safeguard public in
terests, and moving as to preserve order every
where. The absence Of hysteria or excitement
is an excellent portent. The American people
have reflected, and are determined to go steadily
forward along the course that leads to right and
justice. Only with the nation calm and united
will its decisions have the mighty influence they
ought to carry.

Wasted Water Poorer

As to the need Of developing the water-power
of this country now going to waste there cannot
be two opinions At least 10000 900 horsepower
could be generated according to Secretary Lanes
estimate, by Harvesting streams not today util-
lied. In fuel this is the equivalent of 490000.0O0
tons Of coal per annun, approximately 90 per
cent Of the annual coal production Of the United
States.
During all the years that it has had the ques-
ton under consideration, congress has been un-
able to agree ON the details OF any plan designed
to open the way for the use OF the nations unde-
veloped water-power resources. Between those
legislators who insist that the public must be
fully projected against private control Of power
sites and others who hold that where millions Of
money are required for private investment at
tractive terms must be granted to capital all legis-
iation has been at standstill

Nebraska Press Comment

Farbury News: Over 1000 bills have been in
troduced in the Nebraska legislature-bills for
everything from the protection of skunks to re-
pealing the law of gravitation. The Nebraska
legislature is unquestionably one of the worst
jokes that was ever perpetrated upon the people
Of the state. cT
Kearney Hub: The expected has happened
A bill has been introduced to purchase the FREE
mont normal school, owned by State Superin-
tendeut Ciemmons, and operate 1t as state insti-
tuition. The price named is $l65,000 Four years
ago it was offered for $4,000, and two years pre-
vious to that for $l25,000, jump of $4,000 in
four years The Hub has already expressed il
self regarding this business and as to the policy
of buying private schools at public expense
Wayne and Chadron being two examples already
in point therefore 1t Is not strange that the Free
mont proposition has bobbed up again in the 1917
session.
Falls City Journal: The clerks in the legisla-
ture are not satisfied with the regular pay Of 81
per day. but charge the state at the rate of rs
cents per hour for overtime. According to the
report of the committee on employees the chief
clerk, G. w. Potts, drew twelve days pay, S48
and in the same twelve days was paid $40. SO
overtime. This overtime business is all wrong.
1t is merely an excuse for getting double pay,
The democrats are great on reform and economy
until they get chance to put their hands on the
real money. and then they fall for it like negro
does for watermelon, regardless of the conse-
qucnces.

Austria and the subsea Order.

The president and congress, in fact the whole
American people, are proceeding on the assump-
ton that the subsea orders Of the German en-
peror have the adhesion and approval Of Austria
Hungary, whether already declared or not, both
Of whose sea forces are working in harmony. If
Turkey and Bulgaria, as the other members Of
the "CentralPowers" partnership, had feet,
they, too, would have to be taken into considera-
ton, for it is we'll understood that all the nations
allied on both sides OF the war fence are in
solemn pact with one another for. concerted &C
ton, and that no important move is made by any
one Of them unless satisfactory to. and ac-
guessed in, by their associates. II is unthinka-
bic that Germany should have undertaken to re-
sumo the policy of "schrecklichkeit" on the high
seas for mutual benefit of its comrades in arms
as well as itself, except as war measure agreed
upon by all with joint assurance for carrying it
through and taking the consequences
At the same time it is perhaps we'll that we
should deal with Germany separate and distinct
from the other nations associated in the war and
not seek to hold one responsible or blameworthy
for the acts of another until that responsibility
is expressly accepted. 1t may well be that the
influence of Austria-Hungary, or OF Turkey and
Bulgaria, to the extent that it is potential, may
yet be exerted against persistence IN the odious
subsea order when they realize that they stand
to lose much more by it than they can possibly
gain. That might be way out with least en-
barrassment for the kaiser, if he wants to find
way out now or later, by deferring to the OBJ
jections Of the other Central Powers" allies.

The ImmSQrot5on Veto

Despite the preponderant vote by which the
bill passed both houses. and the prospect that
congress will pass the bill over the veto, we
believe Mr.. Wilson more accurately represents
the sentiment of the country in this matter Of
immigration regulation than does congress.
1t is doubtful to begin with, whether any
restriction OF immigration is necessary except
to shut out real undesirables.. The best judg-
ment of those who should know is that heavy
immigration is not in the least likely after the
war and that the sore need Of Europe for man.
power to repair the ravages of war will draw
from America many natives of the various coun-
tries who are now at work here. h
If this prognoss is accurate, it is evident
that labor, both skilled and unskilled, win be
even scarcer in this country after the war
than it is now. Our industries will be called
on for heavy production Of the things Europe
will be most in need Of. and it would be fool
ish to restrict their supplies of labor. The
shipbuilding industry, for example, expects to
be driving at top speed for at least three
years after peace IS declared, IN order to re-
place the ships that have been sunk These
now amount to more than per cent of the
worlds total merchant marine tonnage Tho
steel industry will be similarly busy for per
iod of years. furnishing all sorts of constructive
material
The president, however, lays the emphasis
for his disapproval on the certain failure OF the
hteracy test to shut out the undesirables and let
in the desrables- Opposed to all American ira
ditions, which have made Of this land of oppor-
tunity, the literacy test sets up wholly false
standard by which to Judge those from other
countries who desire to enter this one.
The presidents veto message makes this very
clear, and it is difficult to see how congress can
consistently or logically override his disapproval
But then, congress doesn't usually bother much
about either consistency or logic.

South America and the War.

Governments of South America are quite as
intimately involved in the newer issues Of the
was as the United States. That so little has
been said concerning their course is due in some
sense to the overshadowing interest in our own
affairs. But it is now coming out that our south
ern friends have been active on their own behalf,
although influenced to some extent by the course
OF the United States. Brazil has note Of pro-
test prepared for transmission to Germany, said
to follow closely the lines laid down by President
Wilson. Brazils situation differs only in degree
with that Of the United States and this is true Of
all the exporting nations Of South America.
II is noteworthy. In this connection, that the
leading paper of Rio de Janeiro interprets the
action Of the United States as projection of the
Monroe doctrine into European politics. But"
II goes on, there Is nothing in this act which is
inconsistent with the traditional policy of Amer
lea. The war has entered new phase in which
no nation will be able to remain neutral. In this
grouping Of powers our place is at the side Of the
United States. Our destiny lies with the great
republic Of the north" Chilean papers comment
in similar strain on the American action, the sig
nihcance OF this being found in the fact that
South American politics have for several years
contained possibility Of conflict between the east
ern and western countries.
1t is apparent that II nothing more comes out
Of the break with Germany one immediate result
will be the setting forward Of the realization Of
the Pan-American ideal With this established.
the Monroe doctrine will be greatly strengthened
and less Of menace to our home interests,
