CAMPAIGN JN NEBRASKA.
Until the official count of the vote cast at the
primary hat been made and totals announced, it will
be safe to assume that Charles II. Randall of Ran
dolph has been nominated for governor. His closest
opponent, Adam McMullen of Beatrice, is but 526
votes behind, and therefore it is unsafe to go on
record 100 per cent on the outcome, for this margin
is too precarious to build on until its consolidation
has been made secure by the final canvass.
What is plain is that either Randall or McMullen
will appeal to the voters as a proper candidate for
governor. Their qualifications are well known, and
they are esteemed sd nearly alike by the voters that
the race between them was the most interesting ever
recorded in the state's political history. It may be
accepted as a favorable omen for the course of the
campaign, which will take shape after the meeting of
the convention at Lincoln, called for August 15 by
Chairman McCloud of the state committee. '
The personnel of the ticket, and the spirit of the
people as shown by the primary vote warrants the
conclusion that the convention will continue the for
ward looking policy of the party. Republicans in this
state are committed to good government, safely ad
ministered, and at the lowest possible cost. A party
of the people, its dogma is government by the people.
Its candidates are chosen by the voters, and not by
a coterie of interested politicians, meeting to con
summate "neutrality" compacts and fusion deals,
whereby the hopes of t sincere men and women are
disappointed, because their chosen leaders are
switched off to some other position in interest of
candidates selected by selfish party bosses.
Without anticipating the work of the platform
convention, it is safe to say that the republicans of
Nebraska will aggressively champion what is good for
all the people, rather than rest the campaign on the
destruction of what already has been accomplished.
They have no reactionary purpose, but will not hesitate
to remedy any part of the governmental machinery
or system of administration that may be bettered by
change.
Against this constructive policy may be contrasted
the already avowed intention of the opposition to
.undo,, to smash, to break up, to return to discarded
methods, and, above all, to win support if possible by
Vindictive criticism and adroit misrepresentation.
However, it is not improbable that when the opposi
tion gets through explaining the inwardness of the
attempt to tie the dry Bryanites to the wet Hitch
cockites, little time will be left for anything else.
The coming campaign in Nebraska will not be devoid
of interest.
EXPENSE OF CITY GOVERNMENT.
Tbo budget and proposed tax levy for the city of
Omaha, which includes taxes laid for the city, school
board and municipal utilities it evidence of the grow.
Ins; coat of running the city. Naturally, a consider
able part of the increase is chargeable to tha expand-
inc needs of the city. For example, the item for run
ning the schools shows $100,000 above the figure for
last year, which is leas than the estimated cost of
taking care of the natural increase in demand on
school facilities.
Increases In bond redemption and interest levies
serve to warn ui that provision must be made to
take care of outstanding indebtedness If Omaha's
credit is to be maintained.
The increases in the funds for fire and police
protection, which includes street lighting, and for
street maintenance are also incidental to community
growth. These items, with that of tho funds for
the parks, contain tho larger part of the additional
sums proposed to be expended by the commissioners.
Altogether the city budget calls for 1547,639 more
than was apportioned for 1922.
This news will be disappointing to every taxpayer
in the city, as people generally were looking for a
reduction rather than an increase in taxation. The
total increase, just under one-half of 1 mill, is not
so formidable in itself, but the increases in the bud
get certainly look big. A great many peoplo will
wonder if it would not be wise to take the city through
another year on the basis of the present, and save a
little money for the taxpayers.
Here is another strong argument for the city
manager plan. One man will be better able to pre
pare a balanced budget, in which he will consider
the proportionate needs of each department, and thus
will be a decided improvement over seven men pre
paring a budget in which each has given especial at
tention to his own department, regardless of the
others or of the public situation.
OPINION-
What Editors Elseivhcre Are Saying
BEE READERS' OPINIONS
TRAGEDY OF THE FOREST FIRE.
The great fires that have been blazing for weeks
in the timber of the northwest are becoming even
more menacing. Here is a genuine calamity, for,
with the shortening supply of lumber, more trees
are being destroyed by the flames than would have
t been cut in many years by the lumbermen. No mat
ter how the fires started, the deplorable fact is that
the utmost effort of fire fighters have so far been
unavailing, and daily the damage is spread.
Of course, it is easy to pomt the moral, to reiterate
' warnings to all who go into the timber to be careful
about fire. That will help a little, but very little;
what is needed is of far greater moment. The timber
that has been and is being destroyed must be re
placed. It is a problem for the present generation to
face, because people now in the United States can not
afford to hand on to their successors, a timberless
country. . ..
Just now the most intensive efforts at conserva
tion and reforestation are being practiced in the tim
ber lands of the south. Limits have been placed on
the cutting, new planting is gaining on the logged-off
areas, and generally a forward-looking policy is
noted. Not all of it is on an ideal basis, but it is
all in the right direction. Through' the north a fight
is being carried on against the white pine scale, this
.necessitating the destruction of gooseberry and cur
rent bushes, as they are hosts to the white pine scale,
even as the barberry bush harbored the wheat rust.
Before these fires broke out the Puget Sound lum
bermen were taking steps to reforest their stumpage,
and the great losses now endured may encourage the
work. If this be true, some good will come out of the
tragedy. The whole world is waking up to the need
of more comprehensive and effective forestry work,
and Nebraska should not lag behind in this.
RECLAMATION MEASURE REVIVED.
The announced intentioaof Senator McNary of
Oregon to offer his reclamation measure as an amend
ment to the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill renews in
terest in the project. Along with the announcement
came the information that Senator McNary and Rep
resentative Mondell of Wyoming had buried the
hatchet, which may assure the reclamation measure
its chance for passage.
Two things deserve consideration in connection
with this. The work of reclamation has been a popu
lar one since it first was seriously taken up by the
federal government. The Omaha Bee was a pioneer
in support of this work. In the twenty years that
have passed, marking the record of the government's
activity in reclamation, twenty-eight projects have
been constructed in fifteen states; 223 towns have
been set up, and more than 25,000 homes. More
than 450,000 people are comfortably situated where
without irrigation only a few hundred might exist.
Since the inception of the work crops valued at more
than $400,000,000 have been produced from what
had been waste land. These are but the high spots
of the record. The government has $130,000,000
invested, all of which will eventually be returned to
the treasury.
The other point is that the McNary bill carries
with it provisions for a project in the Columbia river
region in Washington the wisdom of which is open
to question. There it is proposed to reclaim land at
an estimated cost of $145 per acre. Many regard
this as excessive, and it was this objection that lost
the bill its chance of passage on its merits.
If the legislative legerdemain proposed can be
successful, the outcome will be welcomed in the west,
although it may still be well to eliminate the . ex
pensive undertaking proposed in the far northwest.
The reclamation work should not at this period of its
helpfulness be weighted down by any such top
heavy undertakings.

RENTING FARMS.
The problem of tenancy has many angles, but the
one of most immediate importance is drawing up
the sort of lease that gives the fairest opportunity to
the tenant without injuring the rights of the land
lord. A good lease is one that will encourage the
tenant to maintain the fertility of the soil and to
enter the life of the rural community on a basis as
near permanence as possible.
The news that the State Agricultural college at
Lincoln has prepared two forms of farm leases with
these ideas in mind is good news. Both land owners
and renters would do well to send for these circulars,
one of which gives the form of a "stock-share lease,"
and the other that of the "share-cash lease."
Except for speculators who wish to sell off their
land at the earliest opportunity, all landlords have a
real interest in the permanent upkeep and improve
ment of their fields.. Sometimes the very nature of
the contract under which places are rented defeats
this end. The soil from which the people's, food is
obtained is a public trust. Were the general condi
tions of tenancy to be found such as exhaust the fer
tility and destroy the social and economic welfare of
the countryside, far-reaching changes would be inevitable.
Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, tfie famous electrical
scientist of Schenectady, will be the candidate of the
farmer-labor party in New York for state engineer.
While it would be a splendid thing to enlist the serv
ices of a man of this caliber, still the question remains
why such an office should be filled by election rather
than by appointment. As well might the people vote
on their admirals and generals or superintendents
of public instruction.
Kansas has three women candidates to each
county. If all the offices were filled with ladies, it
might at least improve the manner in which people
customarily speak of their public servants.
Rationing coal and controlling prices will get
Uncle Sam pretty deep into the fuel business. Mat
ters may yet reach a place where he will go all the
way in.
Maybray makes a plea for clemency from the "un
derworld," but it occurs to an outsider he owes more
to the men he victimized.
THE AMERICAN TOURIST REAPPEARS.
Tourist travel to Europe promises to be heavier
this year than ever before. An immense amount of
good American money will be spent abroad before
the season is over. France, England and Italy will
gather in the bulk of it, a nest egg for the payment
of their national indebtedness to the United States.
If some of the newer states could attract this stream
of visitors, their financing would be easier.
How to stimulate the tourist traffic was considered
ax matter of vital importance in France a year ago.
If report be true, a high commission was sent by
France to America with the sole design of attracting
overseas guests. Upon its return to Paris stories
began to flood the cables concerning the gay life of
the boulevards and the shocking performances in the
theaters, with some reference to the low cost of wine.
A tale that is told is that an American publicity man
was hired to carry on a campaign to lure sightseers
to Paris. It is even said that he induced the French
officials to issue a statement condemning the high
.jinks of the stage.

On Second Thmght
African Munlcnl Comedy.
Prom the Cincinnati Tlmea-Star.
African musical comedy is coming
into it own in New York. "Shuffle
Along" la in its second year, and next
to "The Hut," ha had a longer run
than anything now on the metropoll
tan stage. "Strut Miss Lizzie ' be
ran prosperously a few week ago.
"This I colored year upon Broad
way." one of the characters declare,
and so It may prove to be, for a third
colored show called the "Plantation
Revue." opened there this week
Cincinnati paw the start of the
African parade, hut did not take
notice. "Shuffle Alone,, played here
in the Lyceum theater on Central
avenue in the winter of 1921. It
was a frost, the least successful
show of the season, and white Cin
cinnati never 'even heard of it. With
the same principals and much the
same thread of plot, but with better
songs and a chorus larger, more
agile and more comely, "Shuffle
Along" made conquest of New York
Some of the critics ranked it almost
as highly as the sensational "Chauve
Sourish' A dramatic critic rrom
Berlin attended no less than five
exhibitions of tho African melange
and it seemed to him that nothing
else was Quite in its class.
"Strut Miss Lizzie" is a smarter
show. It avowedly "glorifies Creole
beauty." as the Ziegfeld Follies
"glorifies the American girl." The
negro colony in Harlem and. the
vaudeville stage have been combed
for talented colored performers, and
white New York has turned out to
see them.
It was to be expected. This is the
Jazz age and negro rhythms prevail
in music and dancing. Why not
have them with the true African
accent? Those two title words,
"strut" and "shuffle" tell the whole
story. The Afro-American can do
both better than any other man
that ever breathed, while his sisters
of the chorus have a nimbleness
indescribable.
In these two shows the American
negro lightly dramatizes his own
conception of himself. His Is no
longer a black race, his is a brown
race. Only the comedians are black,
and much of the humor relates to
their color. The chorus girls are
quadroons and octoroons with an
exotic charm that suggests Morocco
rather than the Congo. One of the
songs declares, "If you haven't been
vamped by a brown skin you haven't
been vamped at all." As a marginal
nete on race history, African musical
comedy rewards attention.
Not a Legal Question.
From the New York Sun.
The more or less vital questions of
women's right to smoke and to wear
knickers in public have at last come
up for judicial review. Judge Mc
Laughlin of the county court In
Brooklyn has ruled that neither type
of conduct constitutes "vagrancy."
He has, incidentally, expressed the
nnininn that neither can be classed
as improper or even unconveiiuuna.1.
- Tho court has in tnis case con
formed with what the majority of
the present-day public accepts as
usual feminine conduct. There
seems to be neither statute nor legal
precedent to keep the courts and
common usage apart in una umwi;

the customs of the day will strike
most people as common sense. Our

serious duties to penorm iu fu

dress or the purely private conuuci

Immigration, a Live Problem.
From tha Iron Trade Review.
American Industry is conrrontea

lems of the reconstruction penoa in
the growing shortages of labor, re
nnrta f which are multiplying. As
min factories and steel work at
tain a higher degree of operations,
the Mack of man power promises w
loom up as a restrictive influence
upon production. ...
What is the solution? In former
years the answer wouia nave oeen
supplied by a great influx of immi
gration from abroad. Before the
world war years of depression in ttil
country caused Immigration to de
cline, hut consequent revivals always
stimulated the movement afresh. No
such relief Is possiDie now. it pi in

was 355,000 and this year it nas oeen
fixed at J57.000.
The present monthly rate of gain In
the population from alien migration
is about 7,000. Before the war the
average monthly net excess of im

from 85,000 to 70.000. Between 1905

Nothing done by the ladles In

year ago, to throw off the coat

courage. They preferred to go
blanketed through every summer's
heat rather than subject themselves
to thoughtless ridicule long enough
to establish a new style.
Very few women are so-crazy as
to wear peltries In July, but virtually
all men are crazy enough to wear
coats against their will. Boys who
would not be guilty of such a folly
adopt it for life, once they reach
man's estate. Some men, rather than
wear winter coats the year around,
use clothing of thin or light-colored
material for summer wear, but still
wear coats In public thus confes

have not the pluck to defy. The sil

Lincoln, as president, hud Vul-

the confederate lines for muklng

Fanner's Courage Tried in Battle
With Nature.
From the Newark News
Dull and prosaic seems the farm
er's life to those of the city who
know nothing of it save what they
have seen in motor trips through the
countryside or read in books, whose
picture are none too accurate. Yet
it requires no great gift for imagin
ing to see the farmers of northern
New Jersey trying to harvest their
July wheat in the face or ever-renewed
onslaughts of rain, as an army
with banners, fighting against some
thing relentless, something menac
ing, that threatens to snatch from
them a very real possession almost
within their grasp.
There is something uplifting in the
thought of the struggle the tiller of
the sou must make In this instance
and in many, many others. Not alone
his livelihood depends upon it. He
is the feeder of his peoplethe source
of supply for millions who. without
his untiring courage, would go hungry.
Wind, rain, long spells of dryness
may alike carry the defenses he has
co valiantly constructed. Beaten, he
must take up the same outposts the
next year and the next, ever vigi
lant, ever armored against the
thrusts. His may not be a spectacu
lar calling, but surely it can be
filled with the brave deeds that make
life worth while. 1
