Could President Wilson’s campaign managers really believe they could make the bid for the Italian vote which they are issuing through the Italian papers without attracting outside atten- tion? No other explanation is plausible for this appeal which asks Italian-American citizens to vote the democratic ticket in appreciation of the appointment of Antony Caminetti to the position of commissioner of immigration which he holds under President Wilson. How can the democrats hope to capitalize Mr. Caminetti with the Italians without recalling the disgraceful political scandal which startled the country through the resignation of United States District Attorney McNab of California at the out- set of the present democratic administration? We need only quote the opening and a para- graph or two of the McNab telegram which went from San Francisco to Washington in June, 1913, addressed to President Wilson: “I have the honor to tender my resignation as United States attorney for the northern dis- trict of California, to take effect immediately. 1 am ordered by the attorney {nnonl, over my protest, to postpone the trial of Maury I, Diggs and Drew Caminetti, indicted for a hideous crime which has ruined two girls and shocked the moral sense of the xwpu of California, This after 1 have advised the Department of Justice that attempts have been made to corrupt the government witnesses and friends of the de- fendants are publicly boasting that the wealth and ?olmul prominence of the defendants’ relatives will procure my hand to be stayed through influence at Washington. “In bitter humiliation of spirit I am com. elled to acknowledge what I have heretofore dignantly refused to believe, namely, that the Dcf:mmm of Justice is yielding to influence which will cripple and destroy the usefulness of this office. I cannot corfsent to occupy this position as a mere automaton and have the guilt or innocence of rich or powerful defendants who have been indicted by unbiased grand w'ln on overwhelming evidence determined in ‘ashington on representations in behalf of the e T, % o e has to review grand juries and nullify their indictments, then this office might as well be abolished, for its functions will have ceased to exist.” How can Antony Caminetti, a8 Woodrow Wil- son's commissioner of immigration, be anything but a liability to the democratic campaign, even with voters of Italian extraction, American citi- zens who have come from sunny Italy are, in the vast majority, respectable and self-respecting members of the community and they know as well as anyone that the Caminetti case served only to discredit their people and bring upon them un- deserved humiliation, Had the present appeal to vote for <Nil|on in recognition of the Caminetti appointment been made at the time this scandal was fresh in their minds, we are sure it would have been indignantly resented and it ought to be resented just as ine dignantly now. Sm— A friend reminds The Bee that the pure food laboratory of the Agricultural department has been removed from the federal building in Omaha to another city since Senator Hitchcock took of- fice. Well, we couldn’t put it all into one car- toon, could we? Who Made the Countries Prosperous? While Wilson was keeping the Scandinavian countries, Holland, Switzerland and Spain out of war, did he make them prosperous, too? For the ‘word comes from Stockholm that hever inall his- tory were Norway, Sweden and Denmark so pros- perous as now. Gold has poured into these coun- tries in a steady stream, just as it has into America, and prices have risen there, just as they have here, and all the symptomatic evidence of inflation are apparent there. In Denmark, for example, the country is so flush that the gov- ernment refused $25,000,000 from the United States for the Danish West Indies, islands from which the,home country has not received any rev- enue, and for which the price offered puts them on the plane of business lots in a populous city. Does Mr. Wilson's benign and invigorating in- fluence extend over the Scandinavians, too, and does he bless them in basket and store, as he does us? Cargo Brought by the Deutschland, We' marvel at the intrepidity of Captain Koenig, who has just brought the little Deutsch- land for a second time to an American harbor with a cargo of merchandise from beleagured Ger- many. It is a feat of seamanship not belittled by the fact that it is the fruit of experience gained by experiment. But the voyage has a deeper sig- nificance. When our supply source of dyes and chemicals was cut off by closing the German ports, much stirring about followed, and great pa- triotic enthusiasm flared up, as we declared our intention of in the future providing for our own needs out of our own materials and by our own science and skill, But here comes the undersea boat, filled with the expensive materials we are just learning to make. Of course it's welcome, and the cargo will find ready sale, but how will that encourage home industry? If we are going to make our own, why buy the German goods? The incident is typical of German foresight. For years before the war the chemists of the Father- land controlled the industry for the world, and they do not propose to loosen that hold, even in time of war, and when compelled to resort to the use of submarine boats to carry on a trickle of commerce that will keep the stream from dry- ing up. The visits of the Deutschland are pro- phetic of the time when the Vaterland and other giant liners may wgain sail the seven seas. Have Americans learned the lesson, or will they leave their gates unbarred and allow the European manufacturers to exploit the richest market in the world under democratic free trade laws? The only sure way to avoid the unrestricted competi- tion of the foreigner is to elect republicans who are pledged to give ample protection to American lives, rights, commerce and industry. Lust for Blood Not Sport. Nebraska's laws, numerous as they are, do not provide any means for protecting wild animals against the cruelty of man, and therefore the so- called “coursing” meets are held in spite of pro- tests from the humane. This practice is the ulti- mate limit in the abuse of the word “sport.” What element of human nature is appealed to by the spectacle of a timid rabbit, liberated in an en- closure, fleeing before pursuing dogs, whose nat- ural instincts have been sharpened by experience, is easily imagined, The gamg, if such it may be called, doesn’t elevate man nor beast, for its only effect is to accentuate the indifference, if no worse attribute, of the one and the innate cruelty of the other. Lust for blood is not sport, and “coursing” as practiced in an enclosure lists with bear-baiting and bull-fighting as an entertain- men! HE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, Why I Am for Hughes Albert B, Cummins United States Senator from Iows. Within six months after the war in Europe is at an end all the industries of the continent will be working to their_full capacity, if they can sell what they are capable of producing. Their neces- sities will compel them to dispose of their prod- ucts at small profit, and, if necessary, with no rofit at all. The United States, with its 100, 800.000 population, with an abundance of capital will furnilg the choicest markets in the worl and into it will fall the greatest volume of imports we have ever known, unless we promptly adopt the measures necessary to check the flood. Let us examine for a moment the source of the activity which now prevails in America. Dur- ing the year ended June 30, 1916, we exported from our farms, mines and factories, commodi- ties of the value of more than $4,100,000,000, Con- verted into terms of labor and assuming a wage of $3 per day, this means the employment in this country of more than $4,000,000 men and women throughout the year. The increase as compared with the largest volume of exports prior to the war is substan- tially $2,000,000,000. That this vast advance in our export trade is due to the war alone no honest student of the subject ‘will deny. The moment this extraordinary demand ceases the 2,000,000 American workers who have been engaged in the production of these export com- modities will be compelled to find something else to do, and it seems to me certain that, no matter how carefully we guard ourselves against the consequence of a restoration to conditions, we will experience a shock that will seriously dis- turb our industrial and commercial life, 1f we permit Europe to take possession of our markets to any considerable extent, at the mo- ment it reduces its purchases, we will be the vic- tims of an overwhelming catastrophe, ‘There is but one thing which will hold the American people harmless in the industrial con- flict in which we must shortly engage. There is but one defense upon which we can rely. Itisa faig, reasonable, adequate, protective tariff sys- tem, * 1f we do not dismiss the democratic adminis- tration and the democratic congress, with their absurd destructive economic fallacles, and if we o forward unarmed and unprotected to meet 519 danger which everybody knows we must en- ;oll;nter, we will be guilty of the stupendous olly. Whatever mistakes, in the way of legislation, have been made can be and in the course of time will be corrected, but there is one characteristic of this administration which will leave a permanent scar upon the institutions of the country. I pro- test against the usurpation of puwer bér the chief executive throughout the entire period in which he has held the office of president. 4 1 utter a note of warning against the continu- ous and successful effort of Woodrow Wilson to compel the majority of congress to do his bid- ding. Our forefathers intended that congress should make the laws and that the president should execute them. Whatever may be said of tne weakness and vacillation of the president in dealing with foreign nations, he is the pinnacle of courage and the last word in persistency in dealing with the demo- cratic mafi)rlty in congress. From the beginning of his administration until the close of the last session he has coerced and commanded his po- litical followers in congress until there is no longer any spirit or independence among them. r. Wilson has succeeded, through the influ- ence which attends the office of president, in ab- solutely controlling the majority in congress, and, if he is re-elected, he will continue in his career of subjugation until the legislative branch of the government will be completely subordinate to the executive command. During the whole of the administration of the present cl ief executive, I have beemia close and interested observer of events as “transpired from day.to day, and there h enl any se- rious danger of war, assuming that other. powers were disposed to fulfill their international obli- gations. 5 1 think that every real American must be con- scious that in sonre way, through some fault or folly, the government of the United States does not stand as high in the esteem of other govern- ments as it did when Woodrow Wilson became president and undertook the task of representing us in our relations with foreign countries.” Some- how we have lost in a degree our reputation for. candor and courage, and we are too often likene to Macchiavelli in design and to Talleyrand in the acts of dissimulation. In my judgment, there is some foundation for this ill opinion and it ought to be the first great desire of the open-hearted, open-minded people to escape the disrepute which the president fastened upon us and to appear once more before the world as a nation which thinks clearly, speaks plainly and acts honestly, R It is true we have kept out of war, but it is too great a demand upon our credulity and com- mon sense to even suggest that an incisive, un- alterable demand for the observance of our in- ternational rights would have resulted in hostili- ties between this country and those already bur- dened with all they could bear, To be kept out of war is good, but it was not necessary that, in order to preserve peace, the spirit of the Ameri- can nation should be humiliated and that coun- tries like Sweden, Norway, Holland and Switzer- land should find it necessary to accept the leader- ship in the struggle for neutral rights. '; do not charge the president with want of patriotism or with evil purpose. He has done exactly what a man of his training, disposition and turn of mind was bound to do. It was just as certain that he would be insofently truculent toward congress in domestic matters and subserv- iently vacillating in our foreign affairs as it was that he should act at all. The humiliating out- come is not so much his mistake as it was the mistake of .the people of this country in electing him president. l People and Events | A stray dog in Washington who took upon himself the duty of guarding mail bags has been rewarded with a handsome collar by the govern- ment.

GEORGE E. HASTINGS Why They Want Holovtchiner's Scalp. Omaha, November 3,—To the Edi- tor of The Bee: Dr, Holovtehiner has asked why the citizens' committee eliminated his name and two others from the citizens' ticket. low us space to answer. The basis of the unheaval of two years ago, which resulted in the eleo- tion of every member on the citizens' ticket for the Board of Education, was the alleged whitewashing of the principal of the Omaha High School of Commerce and the subsequent dis. missal of some and demotion of othe teachers who testified against him the trial, after receiving assurance from members of the Board of Educ: tion that they would be protected an their positions in no way affected | they should testify freely as to th facts, The people of Omaha have not for- gotten that Mr. Holovtchiner presided at that trial and also voted for the de- motion and dismissal of the teachers. In view of these facts of record, his plea now for fair play does not come with very good grace, and it will not, we think, be given much considera- tion. Dr. Holovtchiner and the other, gentlemen. mentioned were holdover members two years ago, but they are now up for re-elec- tion and should be given to under- stand that the people are not ready now to endorse what they condemned by their votes two years ago. Answering his second question, “Why was there any need or neces- sity for a so-called citizens' ticket?" we say that the situation is critical, as the term of office of one-half of the men elected two years ago will expire January 1, leaving only four hold- overs. The citizens’ committee was or- is advocating the election of the citizens' ticket in or- der that these four holdover members be given the support to which they are entitled, and not be left in the mi- nority during the next two years, The citizens' ticket is composed of men who command the respect and esteem of all classes. and we can conscien- tiously recommend them on their merits.
