Mr.. Wooster and the Constitution.

Our energetic, critical, caustic and sometimes
correct fellow citizen Hon. Charles Wooster Of
Silver Creek, quotes Senator Lodge much as
some folks quote the Bible, just enough to
seemingly support his own peculiar contention.
In the speech delivered by the senator on All
gust 49, in which is clearly outlined the aims of
the United States in the war, Mr.. Wooster
perturbed soul had he but read the next SEN
tence. Beginning precisely where Mr.. Wooster
closed his quotation, Senator Lodge said
1t Is our intention to return as our laws
show, to the old restrictions, projections and
rights of the ordered freedom of the consttu-
ton. We are taking these vast risks, we are
bearing these huge burdens we are making
these unspeakable sacrifices of life with
brave and cheerful spirit, but we have no
right to do all these things unless we win the
prize and reach the goal which alone can war
rant and justify them.
Senator Lodge was arguing in support of the
bill to extend the age limits of the selective
draft. He did not mean to convey the impress
sion that the constitution had gone to the junk
pile; nor is it fair to think that he cautiously
objects to anything that is prudently deemed
expedient to victory in the war. He speaks of
risks assumed burdens borne and sacrifices
made in cheerful spirit that we may establish
our ideal. Mr.. Wooster surely can follow the
senator in this course, when the chief sacrifice
asked of him is that he give over the use Of the
German language, for which he can have little
need in the security Of his happy home at Silver
Creek.

Liberty Loan Is Popular.

Omaha statesmen, engaged in collecting sub
scriptions for the fourth Liberty loan, report
that their work is much easier than it was for
either of the Others Less time is needed to
convince purchasers of the necessity for sub
scribing, and many who did not buy in any OF
the first three are now putting money into bonds.
All of this argues that the loan is popular in
the best sense of the word. Our people are
awake to the fact that the money is needed for
the war purposes of the government, and also
understand that one need not be wealthy to be-
come bondholder. The small bond is as good
proof of patriotism and faith in our cause as
the biggest ever issued Mr. McAdoo has
wisely provided for the printing of more Of the
baby" bonds this time than in any of the
former issues, and the prospects are he will
need them all. If Omahas experience is to be
taken as guide, the 100000 purchasers will
be more than attained

WHAT OF THE SOLDIERS VOTES?

Nebraska held specially convened session
of its Legislature last winter to extend the pro-
visions of the vote by-mail law to men in the
military service in training camps and overseas.
1t remains to be seen how far this machinery
will be workable and to what extent the boys
in khaki will make use of their right to vote.
The New York lawmakers undertook to take
care of the soldier vote by creating a commits
sion to go abroad for the purpose of collecting
the ballots of approximately 100000 voters in
service in Europe but the whole New York
plan has gone to grief through a prohibitory
order of the War department, issued on the
ground that it is not practicable under present
military conditions ito attempt to obtain in any
manner the vote OF our soldiers abroad" with
the further intimaton that the soldiers overseas
will not be permitted to vote at all in the No
vember elections
Whether this ruling also inhibits Nebraska's
vote-by-ma plan is not quite clear. The bal
lots for this purpose are supposed to have al
ready gone out; otherwise it might be advisable
to ask for definite information as to the attitude
of the War department, and even at that it
would be desirable to know whether or not we
are to expect the ballots to be marked and re-
turned as the law contemplates.
incidentally, Congressman Siegel of New
York, just returned from the war zone, has
made this statement with reference to the ques-
ton of soldiers voting:
Everywhere I went our soldiers asked me
if they would have the right to vote. They
want the right badly in order to bury alive
those candidates who are not in favor of
prosecuting the war to the limit. Two mil
lion Americans will be abroad at the time of
the elections and their votes would have the
deciding power in districts where the vote is
close The American soldier abroad consid-
ers military service very poor reason for
losing his vote"

Why Huns Scream for Peace

According to the official figures given out in
Paris, the allied armies in France and Belgium
took 1926 German prisoners from September
10 to September so, at the rate of over 5000 a
day for three weeks. From July IS to Septem-
Der so. II weeks in all, they captured 254OO7
prisoners, daily average of almost $500. They
also captured 5000 cannon and more than $4,000
machine guns. This statement covers the period
since the Germans started their drive on the
Marine and were suddenly checked when Foch
gave the signal for the allies to assume the
offensive.
II is safe estimate that during the last three
months the total German losses in killed,
wounded and prisoners have been at least
100000.
The allies in respect to men have more than
redressed the balance of the severe losses inact-
ed upon them earlier by the Germans, beginning
March Il. In less than four months, according
to the Germans statements, they captured over
1871 900 prisoners-French, British, Belgian, Por-
tuguese, Italian and American.
Assuming that since July IS the Germans
losses in killed and wounded were Offset by
equal losses on the part of the allies, which is
improbable during all that period American
troops have been moving overseas at the rate of
almost 10000 day. In three months $4,000
Americans were actually transported Reinforce

armies in numbers far more than sufficient to

Right in the Spotlight.

Believing that "the war comes
first while other business comes
second" Myron T, Herrick, 63 years
old today, is devoting himself
wholly to his work as chairman of
the National Finance committee of
the War Camp Community service.
Mr.. Herrick is an Ohioan who gave
up the practice of law to become
successful banker in Cleveland, and
later achieved prominence in poll
tics and diplomacy. In 1908, fol-
lowing some years of active work in
behalf of the republican party, he
was elected to the governorship of
Ohio. From 1912 to 1915 he was
United States ambassador to
France, and, though previously not
versed in diplomatic customs and
habits, he made an admirable record
of efficiency, especially during the
opening months of the great war.
Mr.. Herrick is former president of
the American Bankers association
and still retains large financial in
terest in Cleveland and New York.

Preparing for Peace Problems.

Senator Weeks presented resolution in the
senate one day last week that deserves more at
tention than it has had. He asks for the naming
of special committee, to consist of six men,
bers from each house, to be evenly divided as to
politics, which shall study and report on the
great problems involved in rehabilitation and
restoration of our national life to peace basis.
The importance of this must be plain to all
No one can predict with accuracy just what
form the movements involved in the change
from war to peace will assume but that the pos
sibilities ought to be carefully considered and
needs anticipated as far possible all will admit
America is tagging little behind in this
work. France, England and Germany already
have been busy laying such plans France, par
ticularly, has acted in the matter of arranging
details for the protection of industry in the
time of reconstruction, through the establish
ment of governmental agencies for the purchase
of raw material and supplies and the financing
of private operations to certain extent. This
matter was recently discussed in The Bee.
Germany is making similar arrangements, while
in England the big inanciers and manufacturers
are carefully considering all that will be in
VOWED in the change that is to come.
No better reasons could be given for the
support of the Weeks resolution than the fact
that the work must be done, and that our great
est allies, as we'll as our chief foe, are preparing
as far as possible in advance to meet the con-
dtions following the war
