The Effect Of the Zimmerman Note.

Enough time has elapsed now to gauge more
accurately the effect OF the Zimmerman note
This note, 40 everyone knows proposed an AM
ance with Mexico and japan against the United
States in event of hostiiit;ss with Germany. It
was exeitediy denounced by pro-ally champions
as equal to declaration Of war, to be met at once
on our part by call to arms. At the same mo-
mont and with the same vehemence it was
branded by German sympathisers as British
fabrication, sure to be disavowed as forgery and
shown up by the German authorities as soon as
brought to their attention.
1t is upon the German sympathzers in this
country that the blunt acceptance Of RESPONSE
bty for the note has produced its greatest effect
II we interpret the reaction Alright, our citizens
of German birth or ancestry feel more deeply
hurt, and are more dismany disappointed, by
the Zimmerman disclosures than any other part
Of our people. They cannot understand how
German oficialdom could have so wrong con-
ception of conditions on this side Of the water or
fail so lamentabiy to perceive the nature OF the
lationship between the United States and Mexico,
to say nothing of harboring the fantastic notion
that Japan would, out OF antipathy to the United
States, break with the Allies and join Germany.
More than that they see the inconsistency of the
Zimmerman suggestion that Germany, despite
its high professions of unselfsh aims, stood ready
to help Mexico perpetrate bold landgrab at
the expense of the United States
All of this taken together certainly reflects
want Of appreciation in Germany Of the difficult
position occupied by German sympathizers over
here and the devotion they have shown in uphold
ing and defending the cause of their fatherland
in the war. In word, while the Zimmerman
note has not provoked the United States to war,
it has unquestionably cooled off the ardor of
Germanys best friends in this country, who,
while they doubtless will continue to sympathize,
as they must, with their friends and relatives in
the trenches, will be less outspoken and agrees
sive because OF shaken confidence in the German
war lords.

Lincoln. Neb,, March 6.-To the
Editor of The Bee: In recent issue
of your great paper appeared an ar
ticle headed Voices Objections 70
Minimum Wage" wherein Hon. W. r.
Baxter is quoted as opposed to a Nv
ing or minimum wage in his address
before the Equal Franchise society az
the home of MRS. ]. T. Stewart. "a"
AS a pioneer advocate Of the emanci-
patton of women, am sorry to relate
that utterances against living wage
for the oppressed and prosecuted
working women and girls emanating
from an equal franchise meeting Is
harmful to the suffrage cause, whether
delivered by an irresponsible person
or otherwise. / desire to suggest to
these titled danes to be somewhat
careful in the selections Of orators.
The suffrage propaganda has become
popular recently, and men and women
of note have appeared in the arena
advocating the cause, NOTWITHSTANDING
that a while ago some OF them were
neutral. To prove my assertion the
ex-secretary of state, w. J. Bryan
one word from him eight years ago
would pass a suffrage bill. Mr.. Bryan
has spoken now and all the political
scullions have fallen in line.
To illustrate, Mayor Dahlman and
Senator Howell will be rival candi-
dates on suffrage ticket, and the So
ciety ladies will be out campaigning,
singing and sounding the virtues of
these two eleventh-hour gladiators..
Consistency, thou art a jewel" Poll
tics is a great game to fiim-f1am the
public, and the people have none to
blame for the fleeing they receive but
themselves. JERRY HOWARD.
