Nor is it easy to believe that Mr.
Wilson seriously contemplate uni.
versal disarmament at this tine.
lhe world is in state of greai
decentralization. Many elements
threatening its peace must be helo
in control by the combined power
OF the great nations which have
united to overthrow Germany
Bolshevism has no place in Eng
land.
England Wants Order.
The recent elections here proved
that whatever else may be the les
son of those elections, they EN-.
phatically have cast out the ele-
ments of pacihsm, communism and
bolshevlsm and pronounced in favor
of the old forms of liberty under
laws and institutions guaranteeing
life and property
But elsewhere in the vast tracts
which yesterday were Russia, Ger
many and Austria, the social disease
known as bolshevism is raging with
destructive fury. An international
quarantine against it must be main
taMed. For the protection of the
rest OF the world, aid must be sent
to help in the creation of health
centers, whence the healing in
tuences may spread.
: On the other hand, we face also
a new partition of Europe on the
basis of nationality that is rather
vague, with the result that we are
bringing into being new organized
states. composed of peoples with
out experience in government, and
who must be guided in some mea-
sure and controlled under the d.
rection of an allied council-call Il

And there are great outlying
powers, actual and potential in the
Orient which cannot be ignored.
The idea of federation of all man

is nearer realization today than il
ever has been.
But it is not yet at hand
England knows this. If Mr.. Dan.

will learn it in his jou1aeyings ano

From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 7.-(Special.)
Speaker Dalbey, in address
ing the members of the lower
house of the legislature which con-
vened for the 37th session today, de-
clared so far as the house of repre-
sentatives was concerned, politics
was adjourned" broad smile illu-
mined the faces of many of the old
er members.
They realized the republican
majority was so large and the demo-
cratic majority so small that there
was not enough of the opposition
left to develop any politics of the
kind that has made the opening ses-
sions Of former legislatures so in
teresting in their possibilities.
The IS democrats in the house
are not even in position to de-
velop balance of power if the
harmony of the republican majority,
which has been perfect throughout
the conflict of organization, is
maintained through the session.
Dalbey Efficiency Man.
Among the republican members
are veterans of real ability, men
capable of leadership, and they are
outlining a program Of progressive
and constructive legislation which
they intend to put through before
the session ends.
Speaker Dalbey is a fend for
efficiency and he has announced that
he will be impatient with speech
making of the forensic kind, speech
making that dwells on julius
Caesar and reviews Roman history
and all the classics. He says he
will stand for full discussion where
debate is germane to bill or reso-
luton but will afford no opportuni-
ties for the development of budding
genius on the part of amateur Pat
rick Henrys or Edmund Burkes.
He will not give much opportunity
for the flight of the spread eagle.
Democrats in the house claim
the dean of the legislature in the
person Of Soren NJ. Fries, farmer
from Dannebrog, Howard county,
who is now serving his seventh con-
secutive term.
Member of House Is Deaf.
A silent, but effective member of
the house will be Charles T. Jenkins.

resents the 69th district, consisting
of Dundy, Hitchcock and Hayes.
Mr.. jenkins is totally deaf Fifteen
years ago he was engaged in the
practice of law. but because of the
growing inhrmity of deafness he
abandoned his profession and went
to stock breeding. He now has on
his farm 200 head of pure bred
Angus cattle.

Men Prominent in Public Life
to Attend Funeral of
Roosevelt Today at
Oyster Bay.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Jan. 7.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt will be buried here
tomorrow as plain American citi-
zen, and not as a former president
of the United States, in accordance
with his own wish. His body will be
laid at rest in a plot of his own
selection in the village cemetery, not
far from the Sycamore hill, which
he loved so well.
The only funeral rites will be the
simple Protestant Episcopal service.
1t will be read by the rector of the
little country church where he had
worship with his family. There
will be none of the pomp and cir
cumstance connected with the pass
ing of great men, but the presence
OF Vice President Marshall, who
will represent President Wilson;
Gen. Peyton c. March, representing
the army, and Admiral c. MGR.

Wartime Measure.

Chicago, Jan. 7.-Three more
states today ratified the proposed
prohibition amendment, making
total OF l9 states that have endorsed
the proposal of congress. The
house OF the Idaho legislature voted
today for the amendment and if
the senate follows suit, the proposal
will need to be passed by only 10
more states.
While the proposed addition to
the hasic law was ratified today by
the legislature of Ohio, Colorado
and Oklahoma, representatives of
the distillery companies of the
country met in Chicago and decided
to oppose both the amendment and
the war prohibition law which is to
go into effect on July /, by every
legal means possible.
The states which have ratified the
prohibition amendment thus far
are: Kentucky, Virginia, Missis-
sipppi, South Carolina, North Da,
kota, Maryland, Montana, Arizona
Delaware, Texas, South Dakota,
Massachusetts,, Georgia, Louisiana,
Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Colorado
and Oklahoma.

The resolution adopted today
stated that there are 500 distilleries
in the country with an aggregate
investment in plants and products
of at least $l,000,000,006; that the
industry actually antedates the con-
stitution adopted in 1889, and that
the business ''has heretofore been
recognized, encouraged y and pro-
tected by the United States gov
ernment ITSELF 1t was also stated
that there is on hand about l50,-
100000 gallons of whisky and alco-

100000. and that federal and state
taxes of at least $5,000,000,000 have
been paid since the enactment OF
the internal revenue law of 1862
The resolutions declared that
carrying out of the wartime prohi-
bition legislation and the proposed
amendment would destroy the prop
erty involved and would violate
every principle of American justice
and of constitutional guarantees"
1t was further asserted that con-
stitutionai lawyers of eminence have
given their opinions that the pro-
posed amendment is inherently
vicious and destroys the basic rights
of local self-government which are
he cornerstones upon which our

If there is a pessimlst in Omaha
today, one who has a gloomy after
the-war outlook for the future busi-
ness conditions in this country, it
is because he did not attend the
first annual get-together banquet,
given by the Omaha Automobile
Trade association to nearly 1000
automobile manufacturers. jobbers
and dealers in the Omaha trade ter
ritory of Iowa, Nebraska and South
Dakota, and their bankers.
The combined dining halls at the
Chamber of Commerce were not
large enough to accommodate the
banquet tables. and the hallway
leading to the dining room was util-
lied, and even then second table
was necessary for many who at
tended.

with open arms the men and ships
of the American navy. The men of
the service had fraternized with
extraordinary mutual appreciation.
Each had been proved willing to CO.
operate with the other. The ac-
ceptance of the humiliating armi-
stice by the German army and the
ignominous surrender of the Ger
man fleet has been received with as
sincere rejoicing by the officers and
men of the American navy as by
those of Great Britain.
Wilson Sees Agreement.
The visit of President Wilson was
accepted as final proof of the COM
plete concord between the two great
English-speaking peoples, which so
many of both nations regard as the
best guarantee against any future
disturbance of the worlds peace.
President Wilson's words were of
a complete concurrence in the views
of the representative of England,
France and Italy and himself. He
talked of concert of powers based
upon common ideals of freedom and
justice. He portrayed this unanimity
of view and said it made him i'm
patient to begin writing the sem
tences of the peace treaty.
1t may be noted that apparently
he finds it easy to control this I'M
patience while he travels about Eu-
rope visiting kings and prelates.
In the meantime the European
world has received a rude shock
from the crude announcements o
Josephus Daniels, the worthy head
of the American navy department,
who signalizes the moment of good
will and mutual understanding be-
tween America and the allies by
proposing to the American congress
the adoption of the greatest naval
program ever seriously submitted
to the American people and says
he does it with Mr.. Wilson's ap-
proval.
Adopts Hun Methods.
So far as he can effect it, Mr..
Daniels says TO Great Britain:
IF you do not accept President
Wilson's proposals concerning the
freedom of the seas, disarmauent
and other matters which he pro-
poses to have you accept, and then
himself to force down the throat
of the United States, | say we will
begin race of armaments with you
which will outdo Germany's naval
program for ten years preceding
the war.

London, Jan. 7.-(Special Cable

Americas method of conducting her
foreign relations was designated as
shirt sleeve diplomacy" At that

was conspicuous example, fire.
quently indulged in the intellectual
amusement known as twisting the
lions tail"
When our public men became less
provincial and our current informa-
ton concerning foreign affairs more
complete, methods of this sort were
abandoned, just as muddy boots
have ceased to be worn in drawing
rooms.
In common with the remainder of
the civilized world, American poll
ticians and American statesmen per-
ceived that no lasting benefit was
secured by S. policy of bluff or
bluster. Ever since Admiral Chi
chester lined up the British fleet
beside that of Admiral Dewey at
Manila bay, and thus silenced the
insolent menaces of the German ad-
miral, Won Diedericks, Americans
have been. drawn into closer and
more cordial relations with the peo-
pie of the nation from which we
SO largely derive our institutions
and our conceptions of justice and
right living.
Sentiment of Great Britain.
The influence Of the Irish agitator
of the type that once controlled the
American attitude toward Great
Britain has greatly waned, and no
considerable number of Americans
now view with admiration the part
played by Ireland or by pro-German
lrishmen in this war.
What the sentiment of Great
Britain Has become toward the
United States was most strikingly
exhibited in the great demonstra-
tions on President Wilson's recent
visit to England. Britain rose as
one man to tender a wsfeome OF
unprecedented worth to the chief
executive of her great sister nation
overseas, where armed sons had
come to her aid in the darkest mo-
ment of the war and thus enabled
very possible defeat to be turned
into a decisive victory.
