In response to large number Of
inquiries as to the. removal of the
restrictions on the use Of wheat
-four the Food Administration in a
recent statement says that while
only thorough conservation enabled
the country to keep a. short supply
on hand and ship the great amount
necessary for our allies, the sign
ing Of the arnistice changed the
wheat situation immediately.
Wheat supplies in distant countries
were made available BY the eessa.

prospects Of a good crop in 1919,
undisturbed by war, relieved some

large reserve. 1t is probable that

be permissible. The administra.
ton strongly emphasizes the far
that even under the present condi.

600 acres compared with 200, 900
acres sown a q year ago. Unfavor-

last year. 3
An increase Of Is per cent in the

Germany's Supply of Materials.

Ira Nelson Morris, United States minister to
Sweden, warns his countrymen not to be mis-
led as to conditions in Germany. Mr. Morris
has had ample opportunity to know OF condi-
tons back of the line in the Central empires,
and he gives some facts that ought to check the
thought that the Germans are about at the point
OF breaking down for want of food and other
supplies to carry on the war He thoroughly
substantiates the statements heretofore made
that the Germans acquired very large stores of
oil and other material from Russia and Rot
mania, and he points out that the stock of meats
has been largely increased through purchases
from Denmark and Sweden Man power is be-
ing replenshed by return of prisoners from Rus
STA, and generally the situation is not such as
lusthes any suppostion that the kaiser is on
the point OF exhaustion. Our people must con-
tent themselves with the thought that long
conflict may yet face our armies.

Franchise in the solid South"

When the woman suffrage amendment was
before the senate for debate Senator Under
wood warmly defended the Alabama law that
DISTINGUISHES negroes and poor whites. SINH
larry other senators from the south put in a
word for conditions that limit the franchise, and
finally voted against proposal that might
break the hold of the democratic party on the
solid south" white mans government" has
an attractive quality that appeals to certain
minds, but how oppressive it may become is
shown by some figures taken from records in
tie office of the provost marshal general In
the state OF Virginia 10000 men were registered
for military service, only 10000 of them being
voters; $4,000 men of voting age live in Vir-
ginia, but only 10000 OF them are voters. OF
these 100000 are democrats, and therefore the
2,3S0,000 inhabitants OF Virginia, the state of
Washington, Jefferson and Wilson are under
rule of this minority, through the application
OF laws that limit the suffrage. How can we
consistently criticize the cumulative system of
voting that exists in Prussia when in a section
OF our own country so large proportion of the
population is denied the right to vote at all?
We have manhood suffrage in Nebraska: WHY
not in Virginia, or i'll Alabama, or in Texas,
where the democratic ma jorities come from?

In the Case of Finland.

One OF the interesting little sideshows of
the war at present is the case of Finland,
When the wave of bolshevism broke over Rus
STA. 1t also overlooked Finland, but the extreme
radicals were soon put down. Before the
conservatives could turn around, however. the
hun had crossed the Baltic, after Selling the
Alan islands and concluded his effort to trans
form the Baltic into German lake BY setting
up government for Finland, nominating a
German princeling to be its king, and starting
him off in business with considerable guard
OF soldiers. The Firms did not take very kindly
to this summary process of Germanization, and
now are demanding the retirement of the Ger
man soldiers. This demand is emphasized bv

cause OF the presence of the Germans. In the
meantime two sources OF propaganda are busy
nithe United States. One is in favor of free
Finland with a responsible government; the
other is out and out bolshevik, adhering TO the
Lenire- Trotzky lunacy. The outcome is not
yet plain. but it is clear that here is another of

RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT FOR
GERMANY.

How can Germany have a government re-
sponsible and responsive to the people without
eliminating the imperial dynasty?
This is a question forced by the demand Of
President Wilson speaking for the Allies which
involves many complications for the established
order in the German empire.
A reading of history discloses that with few
exceptions popular government has been firmly
established only by getting rid of the ruling
royal family. Great Britain is the main excep-
ton, and, in lesser degree, Italy, but the sta
bility OF the great republics OF the world has
been maintained by having all branches of the
government, including the executive, answerable
directly or indirectly, to the will of the people
registered through the ballot. 1t is quite obvi-
Gus that the Hohenzoern household is the real
obstacle to popular government in Germany,
particularly its doctrine of divine right rule, car
rying the assumption that sovereignty comes
from above instead OF from below.
That theory OF government will have to be
reversed, in Germany as elsewhere, if irrespon-
sibe war ncendiarism is to be prevented for
the future, and that explains why this great war
is being fought out to the finish.

Make the Loan Go Over.

Americans have set for themselves stupcn-
dous task, if the fourth great Liberty loan is to
reach the goal of $6,OO0,OO0,0O0 Three billion
six hundred millions have been subscribed, leav-
ing $2,400,000,000 to be brought out on the last
two days of the drive. Boosters for the loan
are optimistic that the mark will be reached, but
If it is, the world will be provided with specta-
Gle such as it never before witnessed. Omaha
has made good on the job by surprising the
quota set for its subscription, but chance is
yet offered for setting the total still higher.
With the mark at $ll,3l6,000 already, no good
reason is known why we should not have final
roundup reaching to $l4,000,000. 1t is not so
much a matter of local pride as it is of notifying
the world, and Kaiser Bill in particular, that we
are deadly in earnest in our war aims. This
will not be the last of the Liberty loans, but let
US make this good one.
