Figures just available from the Department of Commerce show a rise in imports that indi- cate the world is not altogether so fully occu- pled with fighting that it cannot seek out the best market In which to trade, For the month of February an Increase of almost $69,000,000 over the cor- responding month of 1916, while the eight months of the fiscal year show an Increase of 6,000,000 over the same period in the previ- ous year. The business of the world Is begin- ning adjust itself to war conditions, and trading fs not so seriously hampered by the conflict as it is by lack of shipping, We con- tinue to buy from the United Kingdom in to greater quantity than from the others; Cuba's bill 18 bigger than that of Canada, which comes third In the lst, with Japan, British East In- dies, Australla, Brazil and France selling to us In amounts In the order named, and all with lurgely Inereased totals, The “home market’ the United Kingdom remains the most at traetive in the world, and is more than ever a of Joy to the forelgn producer bhecause of the democratie free trade policy. Some Water Works Comparisons. The Beo has more than once referred to the exceptionally clear and comprehensive re ports made for the Milwaukee municipal water works plant, of which we have just recelved the last one, covering the ealendar year of 1915, This report tells the whole story of the year's business without any blow or bluster and with- out wny confusing concoctions about imaginary “pavings." Although the Milwaukee water works serves nearly three times as many people as the Omaha plant, the total “Income from opera~ tion,” which s the smount taken out of the pockets of the people, is only, In round num- bers, $887,000 as against $861,000, given as the corresponding figure for Omaha, and the operating expenditures In Milwaukee are $283,- 000 as agalnst $224,000 for ourselyes. The real nub, however, lies in this statement re poarding the rates charged: The motered rate, which romains unchanged, s % cents per 100 ouble feet, or 6 conts per 1,000 gallons for water supplied within the city; and 6 cents per 100 cublo feot, or & cents per 1,000 gallons for water syn- plisd for eonsumption beyond the city limits, T 18 no “minimum echarge” nor rvice charge,” the consumer paying only for actual consumption, The metor must be furnished by the consumer, The charke for hydrant rental is 85 per hydrant, per year; drink- Ing troughs and bubblers, each $0 por year. With these rates, which are nominal as com- pured with Omaba, the Milwaukee water works #till earned a “‘not Income from all gources over and above operating expenditures, depreciation und Interest,” of $614,606.46, which Is almost oqunl to the $666,134.03 claimed as the ‘‘net income’” which the Omaha plant earned with rates three times as high and a tax levy pro- dueing as much as the city of Milwaukee paid for all its hydrant rental, street sprinkiing, nower flushing, park, school and public building supply combined, In the wind-up, the Milwau- keo water plant paid $200,000 back to the elty 1o help reduce the tax rate and credited $314,- 000 to the capital account, but what it “saved" by charging econsumers only 6 cents a thougand gullons instead of the rate previously exacted under private ownership Is not stated, The hult Irilh Uprising. The adventure of Bir Roger Casement and the ontbreak In Dublin would be opera bouffe were It not tragle. Debate and judgment alike on the wisdom or unwisdom of the political agitators who have kept a considerable propor- tion of the Irish people of the world In a state of turmol] tor conturies may here be suspended. Also will comment be withheld as to the policy of the British government, which permitted 8ir Edward Carson to arm and drill his Ulsterites prior to the war, and has winked at the forma- tion of the Irlsh volunteers since the empire became involved in the conflict with Germany. These are not matters of general concern. What must he considered is the tragedy in which men and women alike are Involved because of their devotion to certain ideals, Freedom of op'nion, of conscience and of belief, ought to be secured In seme better fashion than by riotous demon stration in which the brunt of the retaliatory blow will fall on those whose chief offense is a poetie attachment to & memory, ——— British Note on Commerce Restrictions. The latest note from England, endeavoring to justify the restrictions placed on neutral commerce under the operations of the order-int councll is a fine example of special pleading. 1t does not touch on the meat of the matter, but seeks to justity what the allles have done by culling attention to Germany's course The invasion of Belgium by CGermany oan hardly be considered & good reason for shutting off the malls between the United States and Hol- land, or for holding up traffic between any two peutral ports, No reasonable interpretation of international law can make the British imperial counell the arbiter of world traftie object to British bloekade of enemy poris None oan (o the confiseation of contraband deatined to an enemy.

New York World: Nearly complete returns from the Nebraska primary election show that Willlam Jennings Bryan will not be one of the delegates at large to the democratic convention, and that Benator Hitcheock, who was vigorously attacked by Bryan throughout the state, will have the approval of the party for re-election. The republicans have divided their presidentinl preference among Henry Ford, Sena- tor Cummins and Justice Hughes, with Cummins and ¥ord close together n the lead and Hughes making A strong showing in third place Opinions as to the meaning of the election as expressed In many papers throughout the country differ with the convictions, prejudices and political affillations of the various papers, Those who do not like Mr, Bryan are sure that he is once more polit- lcally dead und will stay dead this time. The Hughes men think the Nebraska delegation will be for him finally, The peace men prove that the country ls with them by pointing to Mr. Ford's showing, and the war men are equally confident that the defeat of Mr. Bryan sustains thelr position, Two clements that may have influenced a good many votes in Nebraska have been generally ignored, Beyond question, there are many democrats in this country whose first thought in considering national Issues | that Preaident Wilson has been right from first to Iast, and that it is the duty of democrats to wupport him. A vigorous, though unjust campaign was made In Nebraska to convince the voters that a vote for Mr, Bryan would amount to a vote against the administration, and It was possible to back this position with reasons drawn from Mr. Bryan's con- duct when he resigned from the cabinet and after- ward, On the other hand, Senator Hitchcock voted to table the Gore resolution and has shown no dis- position to break with the administration since the currency question was settled, A turther reason for Mr. Bryan's poor showing may have heen his earnest advoeacy of prohibition He s about ready to make the democratic party a prohibition party If he can, and theré are a great many democrats who are not ready to go with him on that misslon. This would tend to offset any strenkth he may have had as a peace advocate, while Henry Ford, who represents absolutely nothing but the idea of extreme pacifiam, gave the anti-prohibition pacifist a good chance to express himself, No “God Bless You" There, Springflold Republican: Taking a serfous view of the defent of Mr. Bryan in the Nebraska primaries, where he was a candidate for delegate-at-large to the domocratic nationsl convention, it must be said that Nebraska democrats appear to have passed judgment upon Mr. Bryan's resignation from the cabinet, It was Lhelr fiest opportunity since last June to express themnelves on the question of Mr, Bryan's perform- ance, and there was no "God bless you” in their veordict, Where Were the Americans? New York Times: The republican explanation of the vote for Henry Ford in the Nebraska republican primaries (s that German-Americans, mostly republi- cans In Nebraska, boosted the car of peace. Senator Cumming, embargolst, approver of the Gore resolution, murrenderer of American rights, kootooer to the Ger. man vote, is a little ahead of Mr, Ford at present, bul the pair have run about neck and neck. If the Ger- man-Americans voted for Ford, who voted for Cum- mins? Where are the republican Americans, If nny there be? Are they the men who voted in the dark for Hughes, whose opinlons about foreign policy APRIL nobody knows? Cummins, Ford, Sherman, ILa Fol- Iette; wpirited and vigorous statesmen these! The Fight in Nebraska. 8t. Louls Globe-Democrat: There were many demo- eratio complications In the fight in Nebraska. Bryan was o pronounced dry, but he could not make that the fasue. lie favored for national committeeman James (. Dahlman, the wet mayor of Omaha, against Arthur 1, Mullen, author of the daylight saloon law. Dahlman, in an advertisement, called himself a wet who was “fair to the drys” and declared for both Bryan and Hitcheock. Dahiman was defeated. Hitch- cock was critclsed by Dunn for embarassing the ad- ministration at critical times, but the senator declared that he had upheld the administration in general. He included In his formal mdvertisement his authorship of a bill to prohibit exportation of arms and munitions and his opposition to “an excessive standing army.” All candidates favored Wilson's renomination, Bryan was called o disturber and his support of his brother raised the “family” jssue, The democratic fssues we’e #o Involved as to make the results of little national interest, except that no undddnc was for more than “‘moderate preparedne; Indifference to preparedness characterized the ve- publican voters. The names of three candidates for president were printed on the ballot, Cummins, Ford and Wstabrook. The latter formerly lived In Nebraska and 1s an ardent advocate of preparedness. He got the lowest vote, but a fraction of that received by Hughes, whose name had to be written on the ballot, The fallure of anybody to write the name of Roosevelt velt on the ballot may have some significance, But more remarkable is the Ford, who was not & candidate and who asked the voters to refrain from supporting him, He led the republican ticket in early returns and his complete vote will probably run close to that of Cumming, an avowed candidate, with many political friends working in his behalf, No such ex- planation as was offered for the Ford vote in Michi- gan can apply to Nebraska.

CHICAGO, April 2%.~To the Editor of The Bee: At a meoting yesterday in Omaha of the Iowa-Nebraska Wholesale Groeers' assoclation resolutions were passed unanimously favoring the repea! of the bankruptey law. On last Saturday at a meeting of the Lawyers' assoclation of Iliinols resolutions were also passed favoring the repeal. Many of our most representative trade, civic and industrial organizations throughout the country favor the repeal as well as many of our most representative husiness men engaged In diversified lines, For your information I am enclosing you some printed matter on the sub ject. 'This matter of the repeal fs one of vital interest to every credit Eranter of the country and many of the largest papers throughout the country have accorded it publicity as the subject Is one of interest to all.

Baker's Not First Leg OMAMA, April, 2.~To the Editor of The Bee: 'The article in The Bee on Thomas Meldrum was Incorrect in cer tain places about the hanging of Baker. Baker was not the first man legally hung in Douglas county. A man named Tator was hung for the murder of & man named Neff, who was killed near Sulphur Spring in the early 60s, The gallows on which Baker was hung was not erected on the high school grounds (then the capitol grounds), but wag on the 1and on the emst of the little creek that ran north, about Thirty-first street, and in the vicinity of Capitol ave nue, 1 did not see the manging of Baker (such spectacles have no attraction for me), but I was coming Into town that day from my farm, and from the road near the head of “t. Mary's avenue 1 could sce the crowd gathered to see the hanging. Higgine was not in the employ of the “single manufacturing plant in Omaha,” but was bookkeeper for Will R, King & Co, and was slecplog in the bullding on the southeast corner of Twelfth and Far nam streets, owned and oceupied by them with wholesale groceries. Will R, King & Co. were the lineal ancestors of the present wholesale grocery company of McCord, Brady & Co.
