REPUBLICAN CONGRESS NEEDED.

Election Of q republican house and senate
on Tuesday will be 4 guarantee to the people
OF the republic that after the war ends congress
will promptly resume all the extraordinary pow
ers conferred on the executive for the duration
of the conflict.
Election Of 4 democratic congress will not
be an assurance to the people that all these ex-
traordnary war powers, now in the hands Of
the administration, will be promptly returned
to the people after the war.
1t is fact known to every American that
President Wilson orders in legislative matters,
and congress obeys. No democratic representa-
tive or senator now dares to oppose the presi-
dents will on any important legislative measure.
The fate Of Vardaman Of Hardwick and Of Stay
den is ever present in their minds.
II, after peace Is declared and there still is
. democratic congress, President Wilson should
not wish to surrender all of the extraordinary
powers now in his possession, believing the ex-
ecutive should retain some Of these powers,
would such 4 congress resist himl In view Of
the present subservient attitude OF the demo-
cratic majority, the question answers itself.
This condition, with its ominous and danger
Gus possibilities Of the future, will be changed
if a republican congress is elected. Such con-
gress could act independently of the executive
will if necessary for the welfare Of the country.
1t would represent the people, and not the
White House.
At the same time it would most vigorously
and successfully support all administration
measures for winning the war, should the war
not be ended A republican congress will guar
antee to the people that rights they have VOL
unfairly surrendered under stress Of war will
be returned to them unimpaired. What kind Of
a congress do you want after the war;

Disgorgi,1g The Loot

Nothing is perhaps more surely indicative of
the fact that the German government knows
that it has been hailed before the bar of the
world and that it can no longer assert that its
will is law than the news that the works of art
stolen from the museums and churches of north
ern France and Belgium. and which have been
taken to Berlin, are to be restored to their
tightful owners For while this looks as if
they were coming to their senses, it is, Of
course, not an act of voluntary disgorging, but
an enforced virtue, since the German war lords
know that in the end they would be forced by
the allies to give up this precious loot and make
full reparation for the unparalleled thievery that
went on in the name of protecting works of
art from destruction" At the same time, the
Germans as usual show an infantile attitude Of
mind toward the problem, since they seem to
assume that they are deceiving the world into
believing they are moved by humane and hon
orable principles. But no one is deceived at all.
For all know from the utterances of the men
at the head of affairs in Germany, that if Ger
many had been in a position to force its own
terms on the world not work Of art would
have been returned to any one.
Indeed some of the great works stolen, such
as the great central panels of the altar piece,
the Alteration of the Lamb" from the Church
of St. Bavon at Client, were taken not because
they were in any danger or could not be kept
safely in Belgium but because along with the
two panels of adam" and Eve" removed from
Brussels and belonging to the same altar, Ger
many wanted the panels to complete its set,
since it had secured certain portion Of the
altar piece for the Berlin museum many years
ago. The greedy covetousness that marked
Doctor Bodies attitude never let him rest until
he had received the stolen property in Berlin.
So the outcry as to the honest intentions of the
German museum chiefs is all CANNON and
spinach. The works of art that were carried off
will be returned simply because the allies are
on top and will dictate the peace.-Phladelph

Before You Vote, Think.

Lincoln, Oct 31.-To the Editor of
The Bee: No nation has ever been
more loyal to its army, navy or COM
mander-in-chief than ours; we have
given OF our sons the choicest: their
sisters are loyalty filling their places
in shop, Office, field and every other
line possible. Our mothers, with
their hearts Of gold, have done ev-
erything within their power, made
every sacrifice without a murmur.
Our men who could not go have
stod by their increased tasks and
given more than literally Of their
wealth. willingly and in a spirit to-
tally nonpartisan, but truly Amer
lean and patriotic.
said through these columns
about a year ago this was no time
for any man or set Of men to attempt
to further the selfish interests Of any
creed or political party. I repeat
now, that anyone guilty Of such In a
time like the present Is unworthy
the name American or fellow citizen;
instead should be styled a modern
Benedict Arnold.
Let Is cast our vote November s
in the same spirit of true devotion
to what Is loyal and right that has
characterized our loyal citizens dur
ing every stage Of our great crisis;
do not let selfish partisanship sway
us from what we believe to be our
honest duty.
If in your mind President Wilson's
appeal for democratic votes bears
the stamp Of ward politics. or is an
insult to your intelligence, or you
conclude that strong partisan ma
chine has been forming, while our
boys were giving their lives for de-
mocracy, answer with your ballot.
II you think McAdoo Is using his
high offices in a selfish, partisan
manner. and there Is dangerous logic
in the title often given him of late,
Grown Prince McAdoo," answer his
appeal for partisan support with
your ballot.
II in your honest judgment, while
giving our best blood for democracy,
we have been creating an autocracy
at home, speak with your ballot.
If you are aware Of any religious
creed that seeks unfair advantage
through politics, the granting of

civil life, the welfare Of your chill
dren or your nation, see that your
vote stands against such a procedure.
If you find the funds Of your coun-
ty, state or nation have been mis-
appropriated or squandered extrav-
agantly, let your vote be a rebuke.
II you have discovered that men
in power have created offices, or
helped to create, and fill with men
unqualifed-whose only asset or
recommendation is party affiliation
and whose highest motive is greed

Let your ballot speak for allegi-
ance to your country first, last and

either foreign or at home, that might

Of democracy. free press and free

Between Norris and Morehead.

Somewhere in Nebraska, Oct. 81.
TO the Editor of The Bee: H. w.
Morrows letter Is very timely. The
writer, like Morrow, did not vote for
Norris at the primary, but when 1t
comes to choosing between Norris
and Morehead the choice Is quickly
made for the republican candidate.
Norris is a thinking man. a man cap
able of expressing his thoughts and
man with experience in the ma
TONS capital. Mr.. Morehead is
either limited in these qualities or
entirely lacking. Is there anyone In
Nebraska who has watched the po-
litical game. but realizes that More
head has been closely allied with the
German American Alliance? Is he
more patriotic than Norris? Any
body that claims that mus blush
while doing so or else Is ignorant.

matter, any voter, really DESTROYS Of

And Now Comes Hitchcock,

Omaha, Nov. 2.-To the Editor OF
The Bee: Senator Hitchcock, in his
letter to the World-Herald, says:
I'm the United States it was not pos
sible to postpone an election. because
the constitution requires 1t at GER
tain times" You bet, and it's a
mighty good thing for the country
that that's what the constitution
says and means and it's very fortu-
nate that such Is the case, else here's
what might have happened, as Sem
ator Hitchcock suggests: 1--WE might,
however, have gone through the
form of an election without an or
ganized attempt on the part Of the
republicans to capture the senate
and house Of representatives" Fine!
OF course. Hitchcock is not up for
election now, but Lobeck Is.
What monstrous farce 1t Is for
Hitchcock. democratic senator,
who fought the president at time
he so much needed the undivided sup.
port in both houses, whose meas
ures in the senate were and are now
considered by many as pro-German,
to step in now and appeal to the
voters to vote for continued demo-
cratic rule in the face Of the loyal,
patriotic and unstinted support of
the republicans Of the senate and
house and the loyal, patriotic people
Of this country regardless Of party.
Hitchcock, in his conceit, may think
he has hoodwinked the people Of
this state, but not so. 1t is not his
unqualified concern about support
ing the president. Hitchcock is
scared, that's evident. As Edgar
Howard has said, TITS not Just a
matter Of broken spoke in a wheel,
it's smashing the whole damn
wagon" meaning. Of course. the
Hitchcock Mullen-Gooch machine.
that's what scares Hitchcock and
prompted his appeal to the voters
to vote only for democrats.
Republican mothers and fathers
Of this country have republican sons
fighting over there. These mothers
and fathers have been fighting
over here, loaning their money to
this country and donating money
and their services unstintedly to
back up the president and the boys
who are fighting. I have one son
over there and one more on the
way, and still another one who is
ready to 90 when the government
calls him. The youngest went in
cheerfully and periodically, just as
the other two will go. Am I to
shut my eyes and ears to all Of this
and vote for democrats, just be-
cause Wilson and Aristocratic-to-
