Is the Door to Be Open or Shut9

For the benefit Of the members, as we'll as for
the information of the public, the first thing our
Nebraska lawmakers convened in special ses-
sion had better do is to agree among themselves
whether they are going to stick to the list Of
subjects selected for them by the governor Or take
up other measures of legislation as well. There
is plenty OF room for argument on both sides of
the question whether the proclamation sets ABB
soiute limits to legislative action, or whether the
legislature once in working order, is free to do
as it pleases within its admitted province There
are precedents even here in Nebraska where spe-
cial session legislatures have enacted laws not
included in the prearranged program
For our part, we would like to have seen the
governor specify several subjects which he
omitted and he has put in two or three which
are not emergency measures and which could
have been very we'll left out or rather left over
to the regular session. II the door is to be thrown
open we may have several suggestions to make,
but if it is to be closed, discussion must be con-
fined to the subjects properly before the law
makers. Either way-and we have no particular
interest one way or the other-the decision as to
the scope OF the session should be made at the

increase Acreage in Wheat.

Most encouraging OF advices come from the
country, where the farmers generally signify
intent Of sowing larger acreage of spring wheat
this year. One investigator mas brought back
word that the area in Nebraska devoted to this
crop will be increased by Is per cent over that OF
last season This is most gratifying, for two rea-
sons. First, it is proof that The Bee was right
when It said that the farmers Of the state were
not to be listed either as profteers or pa
trioteers,' but could be depended on to do their
full duty. Second, it means a considerable con-
tributon to the food supply Of the world Spring
WHEAT under normal conditions is not among the
leading crops OF the state 1t was greatly iii-
creased last year because Of the disaster that
overlook the winter wheat Conditions now favor
the winter sown wheat. and although the acreage
is below normal, the prospects for the yield are
good If the sowing of spring wheat Is increased
by one-fourth over that OF 1917, the final yield
Of the grain for the state ought to be very close
10 the normal amount, or somewhere around
6s000,000 bushels. This will he about all that
can be expected, and is the most eloquent answer
the state possibly could make TO those who. per-
sist in misrepresenting the farmers

HAIG HOLDS DEFENSE FIRM.

Whether the check is definite or not, the
news from the great battle in France is that
Haig's armies are holding the enormous hordes
thrown into conflict by Hindenburg. The fight
ing has lost little Of its intensity, but the Ger
man onsweep has sackened and the day was
spent with no apprecable gain for the assaulting
army. This may, OF course, be due to the fact
that the German advance had gone far ahead of
supports, and therefore had to wait; but it is
equally probable that as the British army fell
back it was able to concentrate and consolidate
its resistance and thus bring to bay the fierce
invaders.
Allowing in full the German claims, and max
ing reasonable Interpretation of the reports from
London correspondents, any ground the kaiser
has gained along the Somme has been purchased
at price he lily could afford to pay. Haig's
forces have been withdrawn in magnificent man
ner, his shock troops meeting the charges with
such tenacity as to obviate anything like disaster.
Once, at Peronne, the Germans undertook an
envelopng movement that seemed to succeed
for a time, but the splendid rally of the British
rescued the threatened flank and touch with the
French was maintained.
Such details of the fighting as have come
through confirm the earlier stories that the drive
was directed almost entirely against the British
line. Canadians, French and Americans are
mentioned incidentally as carrying on minor Of
fensive operations, but not as being involved in
the great offensive.
Opinion is growing that the thrust is the last
desperate attempt Of the Germans to break
through and establish themselves in positions
that will support their frequently rejected pro-
posals for peace. If this be true, it may be ex-
pected that further fighting of equal intensity is
yet to come. British valor is now undergoing
its final test; it has not wavered and on this side
confidence in the outcome prevails.

What Dewey Said to D1edrlch
