NO REoPENmG OF PROHIBITION.

No candidate for the Senate of
Congress who fayors the reopening
of the prohibition question should
receive the support. of those who be-
lieve in the Eighteenth Amendment.
The wine and beer proposition is a
fraud; those who stand back of It
want saloon-the old fashioned
saloon with all the vices that go with
1t. If Congress were elected on
wine and beer platform 1t would
proceed at once to reopen the entire
liquor question by refusing appro-
priations to enforce prohibition and
that would mean that this nation
could not consider any other question
until the liquor question was again
settled.
The vets know no party; they are
not bound by allegiance to any or
ganization. They regard the obtain
ing of drink as the only right
guaranteed by the Constitution, and
in talking of Constitutional rights
they ignore the Eighteenth Amend
ment which Is now a part of the
Constitution. The real issue is Law
versus LAWhESSNESS. No man who
appeals to the underworld for votes
can be trusted to represent law
abiding constituency. The dry must
be as much interested in the enforce
ment Of the law as the vets are in
the violation of the Jaw. - That
means that the dry must make the
liquor question the supreme issue
wherever there is a candidate who
stands for intoyicants.

NEwBERRYIsM IN NEBRASKA.

Two rich men competed for the
Republican nomination for governor
in Nebraska. Their advertising ap-
peared in practically every paper in
the state, and of the large dailies
they were very liberal patrons. On
thousands of telephone poles their
pictures and advertising matter ap-
peared. They had men in various
parts of the state doing political
work. in their interest, and thous-
ands of-letters were sent out by mail
The winner was a north Nebraska
banker, and so liberal were the
spendings of both of them that he
pulled in ahead by only a few hun
dred votes. He will undoubtedly be
as liberal>in his expenditures for the
election. Will Nebraskans stand foI
Newberryism in their state?-Com-
moner
If this be Newberryism, then II
has existed among Mississippi can
didates. There ought to be Law
restraining the candidates in finan-
cial expenditure to "get elected"
A poor man can't run for office
under existing circumstances-if he
does it's hard on his friends.

REPUBLIC OF GERMANY.


President Harding has sent the
following telegram to President E.
bert of the German Republic:-
President Ebert, Berlin, Germa-
ny. On this anniversary of the day
when Germany adopted the Eepubli-
can form of governmenttI am hap
ny to express to you my sincere good
wishes, and my hope that the great
German republic may steadily go
forward along the paths of peace
which lead to good understanding
and happiness.
WARREN G.. HARDING.
1t is we'll that our nation should
officially give encouragement to the
new republic which is still menaced
by decadent monarchy. AS Pres
ident Wilson said when we entered
the war, our fight was against arbi-
trary government, not against the
German people. The spirit of Ameri-
canism might we'll be manifested
more widely than it is. why not
eongratulatory resolutions by boards
of trade, Chambers of Commerce, and
other organizations? The German So
cieties sl'ould give expression to
their enthusiasm over the progress
made by representative government
in Germany. TIE sympathy of our
ration with democracy in govern
nent1 should be expressed and ex-
pressed strongly: it is not sufficient
to assume that Germany will know
that we wish her well; good wishes
are valuable in proportion as they
are made known.
Thanks, Mr.. President, for telling
Germany's- President that America
retoices at the progress she is maxi
ing in popular government.

The Omaha world-Herald speak
ing for Chas. Bryan who was nomi-
mated for Governor Of Nebraska,
said:- Mr.. Bryan as candidate for
governor will appeal with peculiar
force to the Independent voters. who
are rapidly growing in number. He
fights more for principle than for
party, and has never stayed his hand
against his own party when he be-
lieyed 1t to be wrong. When he is
elected Nebraska will have a state
government that functions, that is on
the job actively, and that will be
responsive to the wishes and devOS
ted to the interests of Its citizens.
Mr.. Bryan has faults, doubtless. and
has made mistakes, the same as the
rest Of us--even the best OF us. One
mistake he has never made is to sell
his soub for a mess of pottage he
has never hesitated to differ from
leaders Of his party, even from the
president and cabinet chief. when he
believed himself right and the other
wrong. He has never. in such cases,
stopped to count or consider the cost
to himself The nominated candi-
date Is asbrother Oe William Jennings

toward mitigating the terrors Of the

hold that the landlord who enters
into a lease with a tenant which
agrees to furnish heat must be pre-
pared to live up to his contract. No
tenant would be left in possession Of
his hired premises if shortage Of
money prevented him from paying
his rent. The same rule, in the opin-
ion Of the poor mans court" is ap-
plicable to the agreement made by
the landlord.
1t was to be expected that the coal
shortage would be made an excuse
by many "leasters" to cut down the
heat in their houses. Many Of them

the coal scarcity would provide them

but an expensive policy. On the very
day when Mr.. Spens, Of the fuel ad-
ministration, announced his inten-
tion Of resigning on the ground that
the fuel crisis had passed two Of
them were brought into court, both
declaring their inability to purchase
coal. Yet coal, though still rationed,

There will be practical as well as
patriotic worth in the National Me-
mortal Park at the Delaware Cross
ing. A bridge at that point is needed
for the increasing motor traffic be-
tween New York and Philadelphia.
At present there are no substantial
bridges between Eas.on and Tren-
ton. There is a forced routing
through the streets Of the Jersey
capital. The bridge sup the river
would give automobiles a more con-
venient fairgay from Princeton

The utilitarian side Of the me-
mortal, however, is not chiefly en-
phasized. What is desired is that a
nation mindful of its heroic fathers
shall keep green in fact as in mem
ory and imagination the scene of
Washington's Incompatible exploit.
