B, in posses- they claim Brave Words, Will Deeds Follow ? Secretary Lansing has forwarded to Senor Carranza, “first chief” and de facto head of the Mexican government, a declaration of intent on part of this government that just falls short of being a flat declaration of war. It skillfully leaves to the Mexican leaders a choice of declaring war on the United States or unquestioning compliance with our wishes, In all human probability, it will be met with much the same treatment as has been accorded to other communications sent from Washington to the various headquarters of the migratory governments of Mexico during the last three years. The only letters from Washington treasured in Mexico were those thanking Villa for his “services to humanity,” and notifying Car- ranza that to him had been extended recognition withheld from others quite as worthy. . More Mexican side-stepping will bring the question squarely back to the White House. Are the brave words to be supported by deeds, or is “manana” to be substituted for “watchful wait- ing?” Organize Hughes and Fairbanks Clubs, The editor of The Bee is in receipt of a letter from a prominent Nebraska republican residing in the western part of the state, in which, among other things, he says: “T am for quick organization of Hughes and Fairbanks clubs. We must have a rallying point for voters, and particularly the young voters and the new voters. Have you any organization blanks? If so, send me some.” The suggestion is timely and to the point. The nomination of Hughes and Fairbanks has been enthusiastically received by republicans every- where] and nowhere more so than in Nebraska, and all elements of the party are ready to take hold for a winning campaign. There should be a Hughes and Fairbanks club organized without delay in every live town in the state, It should be organized on broad lines to take in every one willing to enlist under the Hughes and Fairbanks banner, and it should sig- nalize the complete reunion of the regulars and progressives, No intricate constitution and by-laws are needed; we submit the following as a simple plan: 1. The name of this organization shall be The Hughes and Fairbanks Club. 2. All qualified voters of are eligible to membership upon signing the roll and ledging their active support to Hughes and airbanks. 3. The officers of the club shall consist of presi- dent, vice president, secretary and treasurer, who, to| exxer with five members, shall con- stitute the executive committee in full charge of all work of the club in the campaign. 4. Expenses of the club shall be met by volun- tary contribution, Hurrah for Hughes and Fairbanks! Let Ne- braska republicans get busy and there will be no question about Nebraska's 1916 electoral vote be- ing registered in the republican column. Don't Muddle the Amendment. Attorney General Reed is in considerable tra- vail as to the exact wording of the ballot on which will appear the initiated amendment that is to provide for state-wide prohibition. Just at the moment a three-cornered argument is in prog- ress. The prohibitionists ask for one form of wording, the antis for another, and the attorney general is contending for a third. What the voters will want is a ballot that shows on its face what is being voted on. It is well understood that state-wide prohibition is aimed at; to approach it by subterfuge is unworthy, while to defeat it by a technicality is equally unworthy, The matter should be put to the voters squarely on its merits, and let the decfsion stand as an honest expression of sentiment, To clutter up the ballot with. clauses the meaning of which is to be determined later by court action, is not to comply with the spirit of the initiative law, which means, if it means any- thing, that issues must be presented so plainly that “he that runs may read,” and reading, under- stand. The simplest form possible is the best; if just the phrase, “prohibition amendment,” would comply with the law, it would be the better form for the ballot, Wake Up, Governor Morehead! Governor Morehead should wake up to the fact that ‘his administration is being scandalized by the high-handed operations of his man in cKtne of the food and oil inspection department endeavoring to perpetuate himself in his fat office. This political inspector is grossly misusing his authority to force tradesmen and other interests subject to his official supervision to sign up a petition for a constitutional amendment to fortify himself in a six-year job with autocratic powers. The shamelesstiess of the proceeding is properly denounced by the Platte Center Signal, which is a good democratic paper of which Chris Gruen- ther is editor, as follows: Clarence E. Harman, the state food and oil inspector, is using his entire force of deputies (at the expense of the state) to circulate peti- tions for submission of a constitutional amend- ment which, if it carries, will leave Mr. Harman in office for the next six years. The petitions are given by the deputies to grocers, druggists, creamery people, oil and gasoline dealers, with the request that they be promptly circulated and signatures secured. These business people seem to comply promptly with the selfish po- litical request of Commissioner Harman, Their business is subject to inspection by Harman's department, and the reason for the speedy and effective circulation of the Harman petition is obvious. The Signal regards this as the most cunning and shameful piece of coercion ever practiced by a public servant in Nebraska, and it is being practiced under heavy expense with the money of the geople. When Food Com- missioner Harman c_fim the publication of his “Food Journal,” and filled it with the advertise- ments of big food. producing concerns which are under his inspection, we deemed that of doubt- ful propriety ,and this later misuse of a_public trust for purely personal gain calls for a halt by Governor Morehead on this highly improper method eraployed by Commissioner Harman to retain himself in office. This performance by Food Commissioner Har- man would be on a par with an attempt by the sécretary of the Banking board, for example, to compel the banks subject to examination under his direction to make him a life-tenure bank com- missioner by constitutional amendment, or by the insurance commissioner to force insurance companies and their agents to do the same for him. The thing for Governor Morehead to do is to put a stop to further misconduct on the part of his food commissioner by separating him forth- with from his job, which separation would at once make him lose all interest in his proposed constitutional amendment. —— Will President Wilson's latest military move make the Mexicans any more friendly or any less suspicious of American designs upon them? That is another question which will have to answer itself. Stars All Set for Hughes New York Post NASMUCH as Leo, the popular sign of the equally popular odiac, was about to get up on his hind feet at 12 a. m.( meaning high noon) on Friday, April 11, 1862, and the well-known sun was posted in the Tenth Mansion of the Heavens, which is the Zodiacal sign of Aries and the home of the popular planet Mars, it is all settled that Charles E Hughes will be the next resident of these United States. Call off the St. ouis convention. Pack up the campaign banners and speeches and the lilgographs, and close up the capaign headquarters, and let the secretary cast a single ballot so that the rest of us can take election day off. Prof. Gustave Meyer of Hoboken, N. J., “American Scientific Astrologer,” has been star-gazing again and it's all over but the shouting. He can predict almost anything, Prof. Meyer can. It wouldn't be possible to sit down and tell everything that's happened after he predicted it would, but it may be noted in passing that it was M?'cr who foretold the coming of cold weather ang snow last winter, and the warm days and thunder showers this summer, and in ever so many other ways established his claim to being absolutely right on a lot of important questions of the day. Nestled among his charts and astrological impedimenta in the parlor of his Hoboken ob- servatory today, the American scientific astro- loger, consented to relieve the suspense that has existed in certain political quarters ever since pominating day in Chicago. For days and nights\he has been delving into his archives to establish the following indisputable facts: That Charles E. Hughes first saw the light of day at Glens Falls, N. Y., Friday, April 11, 1862, a. m. (meaning high noon); that Theodore Roosevelt was born in New York City, Wed- nesday, October 27, 1858, at 11:45 a. m.; and that Woodrow Wilson was born at Staunton, Va., Sunday, December 28, 1856, at 11:35 a. m. “I find,” mused the professor, “that the best of the three nativities is that of Charles E. Hughes, as he was born with the Zodiacal sign of Leo rising, and as the ruling planet of this sign is the Sun, hence the Sun will be his ruling lanet through life as the Sum was posted in the Tenth Mansion of the Heavens, or far above the earth, or on the Meridian, this signifies that he was born to rise in life far above his station as birth, or from the bottom to the top of the ladder of honor, success, and fame.” . “And as the Sun was posted in the Zodiacal sign of Aries, which is the home of the planet Mars, hence Mr. Hughes will always be inspired by the most honorable just, and upright mo- tives, and will possess an intense and patriotic spirit, and will be quite firm but gentle in every- thing he ever says or does and can make himself felt without saying a word, and while he will create many secret and public enemies through his keen sense of honor, right, and justice, and al- ways standing for what is fair, right, and just, he will make more friends than enemies and his enemies will only enhance his presence by their vile and low methods of attack, and he will fre- quently be elected to posts of great honor al- ternately through life, |}f)not re-elected president of the United States four years' hence.” The sentence was cut short in order to permit the grat astrologer to get up and and close the window. After scanning a few books, he re- sumed: “Charles E. Hughes will eclipse President Woodrow Wilson, as the star of Wilson is just nettln_f, never to rise again.” “Theodore Roosevelt,” he added ly, “will support Charles E. Hughes, an y doing so will greatly enhance his prestige, which I find he has a ready done in declining to accept the bull moose nomination.” There's nothing to it but Hughes, imgrtssive- nd says Meyer. Consider the “planetary hour” that M)r. Hughes accepted the nomination—a3:30 p. m. Washington, D. C,, time. “This hour,” said the great astrologer, “was that of Jupiter, which is a very fortunate planet and which stands for honor, justice, success, and wealth, hence, his administration will go down in history as a very laudable, successful, and g!onqus one, however, during 1919 both he and is wife should guard their health most carefully and guard against loses and misfortune.” —_— Twice Told Tales No Desire to Go On. A prisoner was in the dock on a charge of stealing, and the case having been presented to the court’ by the prosecuting solicitor, he was ordered to stand up. “Have you a lawyer?” asked the court. “No. sir.” | “Are you able to employ me?” “No, sir.” “Do you want a lawyer to defend the case:” “Not: partickler, sir.” “Well, what do you propose to do about the case?” ‘We-e-Il,” with a yawn, as if wearied of the thing. “I'm willin’ to drop the case, far's I'm concerned.”—Philadelphia Ledger. seripus One on the Doctor. One afternoon just as Dr. Bundy's office hour had begun, a very excited individual rushed into his office. g +“Doctor, doctor! Just one moment!” he cried, “I'll see you shortly,” said the doctor. “Only a second, doctor,” protested the per- turbed one. “Only a second is what I want!” ., “I'll see you shortly,” repeated the physician, with impatience, The man, with a sigh, took a seat in the re- ception room. His excitement soon subsided, ap- parently, and he read the magazines lying on the table, making no further efforts to see the doctor. After several patients had consulted the doctor, the latter stepped over to the man and said: . “You were in somewhat of a hurry, 1 believe, sir. What can I do for you?” * “Oh, nothing now,” replied the man, “I only dropped in to tell you that your neighbot's cows have escaped from the yard and are having a fine time among your flowerbeds."—New York Times.

Law Honors Heroes 'New York World When Roger Waters, a workman em- ployed by a building foundation company, went to the rescue of an employe of an- other company who was buried in a cave-in, he voluntarily risked his life and was killed. He did not wait for orders. Nothing in his contract required him to try to save the other man. He was brave and generous by instinct, and he acted from a natural sense of duty to his fellows. And he lost his life. In upholding the award made by the Workmen's Compensation commission for Waters' death the court of appeals took the just and reasonable view. Waters did what every employer in the circumstances would look for his men to do. The emer- gency prompted him to render aid in a way that a self-respecting employer should praise and gladly reward, not condemn out of selfish regard for his own pocket. There is a growing disposition on the part of the courts to be more humane in their interpretation of laws for the protec- tion of workmen. In former days it would have been sufiicient to prove that Waters did not come to his death through the negli- gence of his employer. It was actually contended by the company that employed him and the insurance company which car- ried the insurance that his fatal injuries did not result from his employment. On that theory it would be necessaty to look for cowardice, not heroism or self-sacrifice, from workmen facing danger, because their employers demanded it. The court of appeals makes short wark of that supposition. “It is inconceivable that any employer should expect or direct his employes to stand still while the life of a fellow workman a few feet away was im- perilled.” It takes account of human na- ture. It recognizes the moral responsibi ties assumed by men working side by side;: it justifies them and holds them up to em« ployers who seek to evade the law as ad- mirable and praiseworthy.

Frazier, editor of the Fairmont Chronicle, was fined $6 last week for driving his automobile through the village at a pro speed of aproximately twenty miles an hour. ended account of the inci- dent he says he paid the fine cheerfully and intimates that his prosecution may have been due to the fact that his paper always publishes reports of police court proceedings. He calls upon the mayor ane marshal to keep up the good work. o WOMEN'S ACTIVITIES, Reports from the General Federation of Women's Clubs say that the gray-haired women predominated. There was only one young women delegate and she was Miss Winfred Fairfax Wardner of Cairo, Ill., who will attend the republican convention. At the home economics session of the General Federation of Women's Clubs the subject of dress was discussed and members were quoted as saying that “it is possible for a woman to dress not only well but with distinction at a cost of not less than $3 and not more than $10 a dress.” A conference of educators will be held in Washington next October under the auspices of the National Institution of Moral Instruc- tion for the purpose of making plans for more thorough moral instruction in the schools. The institution has announced a campaign for $1,000,000 to work for char- acter education. A prize of $5,000 has been offered for the best children’s code of morals. Mrs. Ada H. Millicen of Oregon is vice president of the Women's Pacific Coast Tri- state Good Roads association, and is a leader in the good roads movement in the Pacific states. Bhe says that women wish to arouse enthusiasm on the subject, that the men may then do the necessary work, for she says women and men are equally interested in having good roads. Mrs. Millicen is an au- thority on the American Indian, having spent six years among them, doing research work, The German government {s carrying on a lively press campaign for the purpose of inducing women to take up sports on a larger scale. A race of muscular mothers, it is rted, is necessary that the new generation may hold its own, as the pres- ent one, .now so depleted, has dome.

New York World: The express companies report a net profit of 86,691,000 for the eight months ending with February, which compares with u loss of $596,000 for the same period a year ago.
