federation for Mexico.

An address by Bishop Mcconnell OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, if correctly re-
ported, deserves some attention. His grace is
represented as pleading for greater liberation
for the backward nations of the world In sup
port of his theme, he cites Mexico as an ex-
ample, and proposes that more consideration be
shown for the benigkted people below the Rio
Grande. Only the exploters he points out,
urge invasion of Mexico.
If ever great and powerful nation showed
consideration for weak and poorly governed
people, that example is afforded by the treat
ment of Mexico by the United States. From
1912 to 1916, the record is one continuous re-
cital of outrage committed by Mexicans and
borne by Americans. More Americans were
murdered by the marauders under one or an
other of the bandit leaders than were killed in
battle in the Spanisl,-Amercan war This
takes no account of the outrages inflicted ON
women, of the property destroyed, the misery
entailed and suffering endured as result of the
turmoil across the border.
Americans should not be asked to forget
these things, nor be expected to forgive them.
1t is not revenge that is sought, but reparation.
Carranza rode to power over wreck OF other
governments, dragging along the load of indie
cent outrage committed by his own and other
vicious Soldiers" and rightly will be asked to
make the settlement. AS yet he has exhibited
neither contrtion nor penitence. 1t is not the
United States alone but England, France, Ger
many, Spain and other governments that have
claims against Mexico, and these will look to
Uncle SAM as sponsor for all American peo-
pies to see that the wrongs are rghted.
We can pay all tribute due to India, China,
Japan and other nations of Asia that furnished
men to help win the war; and without whose
help victory might have been postponed. But
do not forget that to the very end Venustiana
Carranza intrigued with Germany, and did all
he could or dared to aid the kaiser Modera-
ton will become us in making the settlement
but righteous justice has claim on Carranza
quite as clear as it has on the Hohenzollerns.

Opposed To Dog Tax Law.

Lincoln, March 2S.-To the Editor
of The Bee: Representative Fuller,

who introduced II. r. No. 80, known
as 1.-The dog tax law" must be
hater of dogs But permit me to
say to Mr.. Fuller that tax law of
the same nature has been wiped
from the statute books of this state
as an unconstitutional law by de-
cision of the most able supreme
court judges this state ever had.
1t is not only that, but it is UNI
lawful for the reason that there is
already a state law to tax dogs, the
repeating Of which he does not even
mention. The present law fixes the
rate of tax upon dogs in accordance
to their value. and no dog can be
assessed Tor less than SIS. In addi
ton to this, villages and cities are
permitted to fix d license fee Of from
81 to So per year for any one who
harbors or keeps a dog. Add Mr..
Fuller's 81 and 81 tax and we have
a prohibitive dog law.

Steel Men Set the Pace

For the American people whole there
are two important aspects OF the reduction IN
prices Of iron and steel as agreed upon by
representatives of the steel industry and the
industrial board of the Department of Com
merce. One of these is the reduction itself;
the other is the effect the announcement of the
new schedules will have il abating uncertainty
in the minds of consumers of these products.
Obstruction activities have been at low
point because users of iron and steel did not
know what to expect OF the future. The action
of the steel men and industrial board SHOULD
go far to set the timid at rest particularly as it
declared quite UNLIKELY there can be any further
reductions within the year than those proposed.
Prospective builders can now go ahead with
reasonable assurance that their calculations will
not go far. if any, awry, so far as structural
steel is involved.
Representatives OF the larger steel and iron
interests say that so far as they are concerned,
the lower prices will be put into effect without
abrogating any wage rates or agreements. 1t
will be an excellent thing If the consumer can
procure his construction materials at smaller
cost while the earnings of labor remain where
they are, but the government should be careful
not to lend itself to policy that will tend to
extensive conhscation of the property of
smaller steel interests. The steel corporation,
for instance, has advantages over weaker COM
petitors These should be considered with a
view to preserving reasonable equities of all
interests.
There are signs that it will be more difficult
to lower prices and stabilize the business of
the lumber interests Of the country The same
thing may be true OF other kinds of structural
materials. 1t is important, however, that the
factor of uncertainty also be eliminated as it
relates to lumber textiles and clay products.
Until that is done industrial and business activi-
ties will not be all tina. the government and the
people hope for them.- Minneapolis Tribune.

DELAYS AT PEACE CONFERENCE.

Pocrastination at Paris has almost reached
the limit of the worlds patience. While it is
comforting to know that The slow progress of
the deliberations is in no way chargeable to
American participation, the knowledge does not
decrease the disappointment that so much time
should be wasted. The New York Times, dis
cussing this phase of the proceedings says:
Its task, to be sure, is the greatest ever
undertaken by courcil OF nations but its
record of non-perEormance is deplorabe.
There is no one figure sufficiently massive
to dominate the conference, there are no two
or three minds with power enough to guide
and comrel 1t to prompt decisions. There is
nowhere the resolutc spirit that would end
the work and put the world at peace. While
the conference has dwildled, unnumbered
evils have arisen. The agents of all sorts of
propaganda have converged upon Paris, they
have had time to lay their plans and do their
work. Secret and selfish influences have been
increasingly active, they have opened avenues
of approach to the cEief men of the confer
ence. The ghosts of secret treaties have
glided in and out OF the council chamber
Busybodies without number are buzzing
about in Paris, they poster the conferees with
the halt baked products of their irresponsible
lmaginat.ons. Rumor with many more than a
thousand tongues has filled the atmosphere
and spread throughout the world perverted or
utterly false reports of the dongs of the
conference.
With all the world waiting for the word that
the peace treaty has been formulated, and that
the orderly program Of reconstruction and de-
velopment may be taken up. it is most exasper-
ating that the conditions described should pre-
vail Suspicion is growing On this side of the
water that matters Of vital Importance are not
being handled with the frankncss that was look
ed for secret conferences and consultations do
not make for confidence in land where "open
covenants of peace, openly arrived at" do not
contemplate the continuation of methods sup
posed to have gone down with the wreck OF
other institutions of autocrscy. Secret diplo-
macy, however, seems to be as lively as ever at

adjustments for special interests may be at

sbipvard Wages Not to Be Increased.

Director Pietz of the Shipping corporation
has announced that in the new working schedule
for shipbuilding no increase in wages is con-
templated The justice of this decision will be
appreciated by all. A high rate of pay was es-
tablished in the shipyards in order that labor
might be attracted thither. 1t was and ex-
traordinary earnings were recorded Now. that
readjustment is the order of the day. and labor
and capital generally are accepting new condi-
tons with much of the give and take spirit SO
necessary to bring about harmony of action in
all branches of industry, no good reason is seen
why the phenomenally high rate of pay in the
shipyards should be advanced. Normally. the
action should be in the other direction. No in
timation of this is given, unless it may be found
in Director Pietz's statement that the purpose
is to lower rather than increase the cost OF
production of the ships yet to be completed.

then figured at 25.7. New York had
2,74S,011 foreign born, against s.
365,603 natives, with an illiteracy of
less than per cent. Army standards
must have been higher in each case.
