Bound to be Amended.

1t is apparent, from the developments
in the State Senate at Dover, yesterday,
the Council of Defence bill is bound to
undergo material and wide reaching
amendment before it receives the approval
of that body. What form the changes will
take did not make itself manifest, but the
Senators do not approve the bill IN Its
present drastic shape and will not accept
it.
The more the bill is studied, the more
amazing it is that the House should have
rushed through such measure with so
little consideration and by such an over
whelming vote as q to 6. This action
showed that many members of the House
could not have known what they were
voting for. or else blindly took orders from
some quarter or other and therefore voted
without question.
Protests are pouring in from various
parts of the State against the bill. People
are realizing what it might mean Tor
them if the bill became a law in It's pres
ent shape. However, the State Senate rs
likely to attend to the matter of proper
amendment, and should the House refuse
to concur, the result, in all probability,
would be no law at ALL And this would
really be the best outcome ofsthe affair
Unfortunately, the situation at Dover
points TO protracted special session
which is most regrettable. In view OF
stubborn struggle between the two houses
on various matters, it would be far
better for both to unite at once In the
adoption of a joint resolution of adjourn
ment sine die This action would not IN
iure a single citizen, in person or estate.
And it would confer q large measure of
benefit upon the entire community

MISAPPLIED NOTIONS.

Idealists clstomarily ny their view
on the distant slInlit peak. with little
or no regard OF difficulties that lie be
tween them and the goal Of their vision.
For an excellent example OF this visionary
planning. take one plank OF the platform
Just adopted by the newlv-born National
party II provides that all foreign IN
vtstmeuts shall assume their own risks.
If this means anything, it IS that any
dealer ycntuTing beyond the confines of
his own country docs 50 entirely without
protection from his home government.
Assuming that all nations are equally
honest. capable and devoid Of guile,
this is perhaps proper Experience has
shown. though. that some peoples fail
at times in the matter OF responsibility !;
various small nations have sought to
evadc debts contracted in their name !;
lust now the Bolsheviki have formally
repudiated the entire Russian national
debt. which means enormous losses TO
investors If II be acknowledged as q
principle that reputation can be resorted
TO as q method of settlement of national
or individual obligation, what will happen?
Confusion such as the world never knew
is inevitable Such a course renders
nugatory the preceding plank in the new
party's platform calling for the abolition
OF all prohlbitiye or protective duties,
that commerce may be utterly without
restraint Omaha Bee

JUST FOLKS

SAVINGS.

SAVINGS.
When Ernest was a little boy his father
used to say:
'My boy remember every man will have
his rainy day,
So save a little every week of what you
have to spend,
And then whom trouble comes To you
you'll always have friend.
Now Ernest is foolish man In several
sorts of WAYS
He has some silly hobbies, but his bills
he always pays;
He's not so very brilliant, nor Wise, nor
clever yet
He never borrows coin from Paul to
settlc,Peters debt.
He's just like everybody else, sometimes
his judgments bad.
He's made investments that were poor
and lost some gold he had,
But when the market plays him false ho
never has to moan.
He's forced no friend To share his iossi
that money WAS his own.
He plodded on from day to day, and kept
his selirespect.

him me kept his head erect,
And when his wife was III Tor weeks, he
gladly hired a nurse
And did not have tn borrow then, but
paid her from his purse.
He is a1 independent soul. he serves
no masters whim
Because sometime he was compelled to
borrow cash from him.
He recognizes men of skill, and bows to
men of rank.
But he is master of himself with money
in tho bank.
MY boy save up your pennies now. and
save your nickles, too,
There's nothing like bank account to
make man OF you,

president,
But you can b. as proud as he YOU

PRESS COMMENT.
GERMANY'S POSITION.

Germany's seizure of Russian lands
and her raid eastward after territory
and economic advantages have not
met with unanimous approval within
the Central Powers. A Vienna cores
pondent of the Amsterdam TId, de-
scribing the feeling among the people
of the Austrian capital as pesslmistic,
says that 'pan-Germanism In forcing
events is severely condemned"
In Germany, where differences be
tween the German civil government
and the military leaders over the spoils
have complicated the projects of annex
alton, the expressions of opposition
have been unusually outspoken. The
Frankfurter Zcitung, generally q strong
defender of the government, declares
that the breaking up of Russia into small
states is a bad policy, for there is danger
that 'in the future they will sigh for a
reunion with Russia and become 80
many thorns in Germany's side 1t
gives as another reason why a weak
Russia will not contribute tn Germany $
ultimate welfare the fact that Germany
has now no more hope than ever before
that she will be able to carry out Far
East policy except in conjunction with
Great Britain and Russia.

BOYS WORKING RESERVE
 EAGER TO GETIN HARNESS

Phoenix, Ariz., April 25-Lindley B. Orme, State Director of the Boys Working Reserve, reported at the statewide session of County Councils that prospects are of the best for large additions of boys this summer to the labor reserve of the state. The lads who worked last summer want to get back again in the harness and they will be welcomed by the men who hired them last year. Every where he has gone he has found deep interest in the plan, especially when it is explained that the work is not limit ed to agriculture but may be on the cattle ranges or in machine shops and stores. A notable shortage of cowboys is reported, owing to the operation of the draft. Several hundred boys have been offered from Fl Paso and 15O0 from Chicago, but these acces- sions to the local supply will have to be limited to the high cost of travel. It is possible that an agricultural la bor rate of cent mile, will be put into effect this summer on the nation al controlled railroads.
 Another statewide conference will he called from May H., This is at the request of the national authori- ties, who will send eloquent speakers to talk, particularly on subjects that concern the work of the people in backing up the war.
