BETrER As IT rs.

In dealing with the flock Of proposed. amend
ments to the ship subsidy bill, the house %feliminat-
ed all mention Of the sale or carriage Of liquor on
|American vessels. In that the house followed the
excellent policy of combining attention in a bill to
the subject matter Of the bill itself. Ship subsidies
and enforcement of the prohibition law are two
separate and distinct subjects. They should be kept
separate. If it is wise and proper to subsidize Amer
lean merchant shipping; that action should be taken
and, it is neither. necessary nor useful in a bill for
that purpose to make provision relating to the
handling of liquor any more than it is to deal in
such a bill with piracy, smuggling, or any other
subject not properly related to the particular ques-
ton before the house.
In relation to the handling of liquor on Ameri-
can ships. that is already prohibited under a ruling
by the attorney general to the effect that the prohi-
|bition laws of the United States extend to all ships
under its flag, no matter where they may be. That
ruling is a subject to review by the courts. 1t is
|possible'that an adverse decision may be rendered.
In that case congress has the remedy in its own
hands: Let it enact the necessary legislation max
ing all American shipping dry, and let it pass that
legislation on its own merits, and not tack it onto
another bill where it does not belong.

HOME ANDc CHILD.

The promotion of the integrity of the home and
of the better home training of the child are the ends
sought by the Children's Code commission in the
preparation of two bills for submission to the state
legislature at it's session this winter.
The first of these is intended to put an end to
secret marriages in North Dakota by requiring that
before a marriage license is issued the contracting
parties shall give ten days public notice of their
intention to marry, such notice is to be given in a
prescribed form, and to be posted in the office OF
the county judge or by publication in a local news
paper Of general circulation. There are cases i'll
which, for excellent reasons, persons wish to keep
from the public for a time knowledge of their in
tended marriage, and even of the marriage itself.
But such cases are exceedingly few as compared
with those in which individuals rush unthinkingly
into matrimony quietly and secretly. Members of
the commission are convinced that the inconven-
fence to those of the former class from the operation
Of the proposed law will be negligible as compared
with the benefits arising from the requirement of
more time and greater publicity in contracting a
relationship SO important to the individuals them
selves, and to society. ~.
The other bill referred to provides in substance
that repeated delinquency on the part of a child
shall create p%resumptive evidence Of negligence on
the part of the parent, thus creating for the parent
a definite legal responsibility for the offenses of his
offspring. Such a provision may have a whole.
some effect in stimulating in some parents a greater
interest in the goings and comings and the general
behavior of their children.

cLEMENcEAU's VISIT.

1t is not at all necessary to agree with all the
opinions expressed by Clemenceau to understand
that his visit may be of inestinable value to Amer
lea. His manner is pugnacious. He ~irritates many
Of us. His attitude IS un~compromising: He may
jected, and he may exaggerate the militaristic pur-
poses of Germany. A
Nevertheless he gives us something to think
about. He jars us from our self-complacency. If
we consider his position extreme, that very charac-
ter, and the unquestionable earnestness of the man,
may cause us to wonder if Our own attitude may not
have been extreme on some occasions. He may
induce US to look at subjects Of common interest
from the other fellows angle as we'll as our own,
and out of it all may grow the conception that in
stead of the world being made up of Americans and
their interiors, it is made up of peoples who, while
their environment and traditions may differ, are
after all very much alike in their desires and their
ideals, so far as the relations of men with each other
are concerned.

WISDOM FROM NEBRASKA.

In a letter just issued, setting forth the condi-
ton of Nebraska as a state Of splendid production
and magnificent possibilities, Governor McKelvie,
of that state, deals thoughtfully and constructively
with the general situation as he sees it, and offers
some sound advice. He discusses the unfavorable
conditions under which the farmer is laboring at
this time, such as low prices for his products as
compared with the prices which he must pay for
his purchases, car shortage, restricted credit, and
other items with which we have of late become too
familiar, Continuing, he says:
II all of the costs of production were figured,
it would be found that the farmer is the lowest paid
laborer in the nation today, and the return on his
Investment is the smallest of any of the essential
lines of industry. This basicly bad condition can
be improved only by a further reduction in wages
and commodity prices, or by initiating farm prices
to meet the level of the items that enter into the
cost Of farm. production. Temporarily, the latter
course would suffice to stimulate prosperity, but
the resort to such aniexpedient is Of very question
able ultimate value.
"Still another very unfavorab1e aspect Of the
present situation is that the wastes and extrava-
galces Of the war period have not yet been, fully
abated. 1t isconservatively estimated that the peo-
pie Of Nebraska spend annually S 100, 0OO,0 90 for
pleasure, amusement and non-essentials. This av-
erage OF $4,000 per year for every family in the
state would amount to nearly So, 900 ,OOO, 1000. 90 if the
samesrate Of expenditure should obtain throughout
the nation If half this. amount were used for es-
sentialstth the cost Of living would decline, the pro-
ducts of field and factory would be in greater. de-
maild. taxes would not seem SO igh,st the home and
9hreslde would take their. proper place IN shaping
the nations destiny, and much Of the discomfort
that now exists would vanish .2.2#

PARTY, STATE AND NATION

~ " IA OAtAN poAky 10 d kCl(y
is that it is necessary for the working out of the
purposes for which the political party is created that
the organization of the party shall be complete, be-
lginning with the national body and extending
downward through the state and its subdivisions.
1t is asserted, and without the possibility of contra
%diction, that without thorough organization there
can be no party success, and it is insisted that this
Organization must extend down to the smallest
tgroups of voters. &
AS to the necessity for organization, there lis
room for no difference Of opinion. A mob cannot
act effectively. in any orderly form of expression.
There must be organization, and it must be COM
Iplete and thorough. To be an effective working
body a political party must have an organization
which extends down to the individual voting pre-
|cinct, and which touches directly the individual
|votef himself.
But it does not follow that this organization
must devote its attention, or any part of it's atten-
ton, to the election of governors of states, men,
|bers of state legislators, or the officers of political
subdivisions of the state. The national party must
have a national program. To have any warrant for
its existence it must have a fixed and definite policy
on ISSUES which are national in their scope, and
which are opposed with equal defniteness by its
Opposing party or parties. Otherwise it makes no
difference which party is in control, and there is no
Occasion for organization when the organized BODY
has no objective.
But again it does not follow that becausei there
must be a national program and national issues
the same organization should concern itself with
matters peculiar to the state. And, instead Of
Strengthening the national party and helping to
ties by the national party tends rather to disrupt
the party and divert it from the purposes for which
it was created.
Every political party which has been organized
in this country has owed its existence to the desire
of some particular group of men to promote a
definite national policy, a policy which, in the opin-
ion of its supporters, was not adequately represent
led in any party then existing!l And every party has
