me Name of Arizona.

Arizona, probably Arizonac in its
original form, was the native and prob
ably Pima name of the place-Of a hill,
valley, stream or some other local fea-
ture-just south of the modern bound
airy, in the mountains still so called, on
the headwaters of the stream flowing
past Saric, where the famous Planchas
de Plata mine was discovered in the
middle of the eighteenth century, the
name being first known to the Span
iardS in that connection and being ap-
piled to the mining camp or real de
minas. The aboriginal meaning of the
term is not known. The name should
probably be written and pronounced

Limited Cloture for the Senate.

Republicans and democrats alike very cau-
tiously approach the proposal to limit debate in
the senate. Each organization realizes the dan
ger that resides in any movement to silence the
minority. The present rule Of the senate gov
erning debate has been in force for longer than
century, frequently has been found servceable,
and has saved the country from vicious legislation
on several occasions. That it was invoked to
thwart a wish OF the president may be occasion
for chagrin or even disappointment, but the fill
buster is not the property of any party and all
may indulge in it. 1t may be abused, or, at least,
its service may seem to be abused yet it is not
safe to assume that the majority is everlastingly
right. While the caucus committees are active on
the subject, it might be well to go over the whole
fabric of senatorial procedure. A maze OF for
mality has grown up since the foundation of the
senate, through the intrcacies OF which the lay
mind wanders in bewilderment. Slept to simplify
the methods of the upper house might bring
around reform that would answer any immedi.
ate demand for change

Sweden's Cabinet Crisis.

Sweden is facing situation in some way COM
parable with that confronting the administration
at Washington. A request from the cabinet to
the Parliament for money to be used in preserv-
ing Sweden's neutrality was in part denied. To
this action Of the popular assembly the cabinet
replied by resigning. King Gustav with pa
tience that might be observed in this country,
has asked his ministers to retain their port
foios, fearing that to accept the designations would
give wrong impression abroad and foster the
notion that serious difference of opinion exists
among the Swedes. No nation, unless it may be
Holland, has felt the pressure of war from both
sides and the disadvantages and difficulties Of
neutrality so heavily as Sweden. So far the king
and his counsellors, with the support Of the peo-
pie have preserved both their integrity and their
dignity. and it is to be hoped they will weather
the present crisis. Sweden has been a good
example in this regard.

Omaha and the Tourist Rate.

When the railroads year ago changed their
basis for fixing rates for summer tourist travel,
mighty howl went up from Omaha, this city hav-
ing been omitted entirely from the list. 1t was
then suggested that perhaps a mistake had been
made and that it might be recthed. Now the
time for announcing tourist rates comes again,
and no indication Of remedying the injustice is
noted. Kansas City has the favor, but Omaha is
excluded. No real reason ever was assigned for
the change, and it has been interpreted locally
as sign of unfriendliness towards this city on
part OF the railroads. At any rate, all the big
lines that center in Omaha have acquiesced in
the practice and seem inclined to let the matter
rest. That it is discrimination none deny. The
Commercial club is now considering what action
may be taken to secure change, and ought to
proceed on the experience OF the past, which
shows that something stronger than a protest
is needed to move the railroads away from such
a position when once il is assumed.

Another Hole in Underwood Law.

That perfect tariff law passed by the demo-
Gratis and eulogized by them as the panacea that
was to cure all our various governmental ills, has
just had another shock. The supreme court of
the United States has decided that one of the
laws most Wanted features is of no avail. This
was the section designed to encourage American
shipping by allowing discount Of per cent on
dutable articles carried hither on American bot
toms. The clause was so clumsily drawn that it
has been found to conflict with existing treaties,
and is therefore held to be invalid. When the
law was put into effect this was one Of the defects
pointed out by the critics, who asserted the pro-
vision would not stand the test of the courts. 1t
was adopted as subterfuge, in the effort OF the
democrats to borrow the republican policy of
protection without actually appearing to do so,
and has failed OF its purpose for the that it
was makeshift 1t affects the treasury at pres
ent to the extent of above $2s,000000, that
amount having accumulated while waiting for the
determination of the court The lesson is plain
Protection to home industries can not be provided
through shams; the principle must be applied
directly or not at all.

State Hospital Deserves Support.

Action of the house at Lincoln In restoring
the appropriation for the maintenance of the hos
pital attached to the College of Medicine at
Omaha will meet general approval. Members of
the legislature should keep in mind that this is
state institution, part of the great University of
Nebraska, and is maintained for the benefit of
the people Of the state. The Nebraska College
of Medicine takes high rank among the schools
OF the country for the thoroughness Of its equip
ment and methods, and it would be a serious
blunder to hamper it in any OF its activities Any
technical objection as to which fund its support is
to be charged to should be resolved in favor Of
the school. In all ways it is credit to the state,
and its service deserving all the encouragement
that comes from proper provision for its
maintenance.

this power 1t is left helpless before
the two great natural enemies OF all
republics-open violence and insidi-
our corruption. The court holds that
the fifteenth amendment to the con-
stitution clearly shows that the right
of suffrage was considered to be or
supreme importance to the national
government"
The Ku Klux Khan was declared by
the United States supreme court to
be band of dastardly assassins and
outlaws. and that is just what they
were. They not only committed out
RACES against negroes. but killed in
offensive white men and their fami-
lies, burned their houses and drove
them from their homes, all because
they had the temerity to be repub-
licans and to believe in the princi-
pies Of that party. People soon forget
and few would believe now that such
things ever existed in the part OF the
country where even today no man
dares to be republican. Men from
the south come up here and are
elected to office and l voted for a
rebel captain three times for judge in
Kansas; but If northern man goes
down south and runs for office he Will
be lucky if he escapes alive, and is
called carpet Dagger"
1t is an insult to every law-abiding
citizen of this great republic to have
the doings of the outlaw organization
known as the Ku Klux Khan exhibited
for their edification today. I have
wondered that some of the old union
soldiers have not denounced such an
exhibition to northern audiences. The
exhibit would not be made II it was
not for a purpose. What that purpose
is we can only guess at this time.
There are no more courteous people
than the people of the south in exis-
tence when you come to visit them,
for 1 was treated royalty by people
of Georgia number Of years ago, but
II l wanted to live there and vote as
freely as l can here l would not be
allowed to do it, nor any other north
ern republican.

Kansas City's Home Rule Charter Experience

Kansas City has just duplicated Omahas ex-
perience with home rule charter in finding that
carefully worked-out plan Of municipal govern
ment is rejected at the polls because Of oppos-
ton to various proposed reforms combined in it
like an omnibus bill. The truth is that the prin-
cipal OF home rule in charter-making is unan-
mously endorsed in the abstract, but sure to bump
up against multiplicity OF obstacles in the con-
crete.
What has happened in Kansas City reinforces
and emphasizes the suggestion recently made by
The Bee-a suggestion which came from Lincoln
that the only way offering any reasonable assur-
ance to get city like ours on home-rule basis
is first to submit for popular ratification the
existing charter, unchanged and then, after thus
accomplishing complete divorce from legislative
charter-tinkerng, to offer the desired amendments
separately on their own merits. Such proceed
ure would give the people Of any city the kind of
government they want and put them in position
at any time to modify or end any experiment not
working out as expected
The duplicate election in the start would be
costly, but would be money-saver in the end
Certainly no one has discovered any other road
to home rule promising as good prospect Of
accomplishing the object

Shall We Abandon Neutrality?

Omaha, March ITO the Editor of
The Bee: 1t has been declared by
the president of the United States
and approved by the people that the
policy of neutrality in respect to the
European war is the proper one for
this nation. 1t seems certain that
this profession Of neutrality was one
of the chief factors in winning the
reelection of Woodrow Wilson. And
yet even before hie inauguration siren
uous efforts were made by powerful
interests to induce the nations lead
ers to reverse the decision of the peo-
pie and enter upon hazardous course
of partisanship.
am not making this charge against
those who, from truly patriotic mo-
tives, advocate defense of American
rights, but against those who are try
ing to lead this movement for defense
into an alliance with European bel
ligerents. They put forth the false
representation that all the gross vio-
lations of the rights of neutrals have
been committed by the central pow
ers, and on the other side nothing
has been done that should be consid-
cred an, offense against neutrals. l
call attention to an order of the Brit
ish admiralty, issued on November 2,
1914, which contains these words:
ut (the British admiralty there
fore gives notice that the whole OF
the North Sea must be considered a
military area. Within this area mer-
chant shipping of all kinds, traders
of all countries, fishing craft and other
vessels will be exposed to the gravest
dangers from mines it has been neces-
sary to lay, and from warships search
ing vigilantly by night and day for
suspicious craft
"All merchant and fishing vessels of
every description are hereby warned
of the dangers they encounter by en-
tering this area, except in strict &C.
cordance with admiralty direction.
Every effort will be made to convey
this warning to neutral countries and
to vessels on the sea, but from No
vember onward the admiralty an
nounces that all ships passing the line
drawn from the northern point Of the
Hebrides through the Farce islands to
Iceland do SO at their own peril"
The area thus described probably
Is at least 100000 square miles, its
average width. east to west, being 400
miles or more.
Let us imagine that the Lusitania
was bound for a port on the North
Sea, and all the passengers were killed
by one of those innocent British mines
Would not some Of the international
financiers have poured out money to
have the newspapers tell the people
that this dreadful loss of life was not
| chargeable to Britain because due
warning had been given?

How much grit do you think you've got?
Can you quit thing that you like lot?
You may talk Of pluck; it's an easy word,
And wherer you go 1t Is often heard,
But can you tell It jot or guess
Just how much courage you now possess?
Don't boast of your grit till you've tried
It out,
Nor pirate to men of your courage stout,
Fer it's easy enough to retain q grin
In the face Of 4 fight there's chance to
win.
But the sort Of grit that Is good to own
Is tho stun you need when you're all alone,
How much grit do you think you've gotf
Can you turn from Joys that you like LOTT
Have you ever tested yourself to know
How far with yourself your will can go7
II you want to know whether or not you've
grit.
Just pick out Joy that you like--to quit
It's bully sport and it's open fight,
1t will keep you busy both day and night, .
For the toughest kind Of game you'll hnd
Is to make your body obey your mind.
And you never will know what IL meant

Unless there's something you've tried to quit.

The Ku Klux Khan.

South Side, March 6.-To the
Editor of The Bee: I visited the
Brandeis theater and witnessed the
display of what is called the Birth
of a Nation" Many parts Of the dis
the part in which the doings of the
Ku Klux Khan were exhibited do not
seem to me to be according to what
I know of and read of the doings
of that dread organization years ago,
nor according to historical reports.
I remarked that If the people who
so loudly applauded the exhibit of
the work Of the Ku Klux Khan had
lived when that organization was in
existence they would look on the ex-
hibition with horror, rather than ap-
plaud their work done during recon-
struction days. The doings Of that
murderous secret organization became
so rank that an act of congress was
passed in 1871 "to enforce the provi-
sions of the fourteenth amendment to
the United States constitution" popu-
larly known as the "Ku Klux BILL" and
1t was followed by proclamation by
President Grant on October II, 1871,
exhorting obedience to that new law,
and he suspended the privilege of ha-
beas corpus in parts Of South Caro-
lima because of outrages committed
by masked outlaws belonging to a
secret organization known as the Ku
Klux Khan.
The outrages committed by these
bands of outlaws and cutthroats be-
came so numerous and so fragrant
that many arrests were made and their
cases finally reached the supreme court
of the United States, where the most
scathing denunciation Of such organi-
cations was delivered by that august
body Of men, who are not given tc
pyrotechnics or to any partisan bias.
When the members Of that organi-
zation made the claim that their work
could not be surveyed by any court
outside their state courts, Justice
Miller, for the supreme court said
THAT a government, whose essential
character is republican, whose execu'
tive head and legislative body are both
elective and elected by the people di
rectly, has no power by appropriate
laws to secure this election from the
influence Of violence and corruption
and of fraud is a proposition so start
| ling as to arrest attention and demand
the gravest consideration. If this gov
eminent is anything more than mer'
aggregation of delegated agents o.
other states and governments, each
superior to the general government, i
must have power to protect election
on which its existence depends from
| violence and corruption. If it has no
