DESPICABLE DEMOCRATIC TACTICS.
Pleading for a clean campaign, Senator Hitch-'
cock takes opportunity to circulate the imidious
propaganda prepared at Lincoln, assailing the repub
lican candidate for governor by questioning bli hon
esty. Resorting to the time-worn subterfuge of in
terviewing s "prlminent" but unnamed republican,
the Lincoln proponent of th Hitchcock-Bryan-Mullen
combination, by innuendo and half-veiled allusion un
dertakes to make it appear that an unholy bargain
was made in Douglas county, the result of which was
to deprive Adam McMullen of votes that might have
nominated him. ,
Surely, if auch a bargain had been made, it would
hav been known and disclosed here, rather than in
Lancaster county. McMulIen's supporters in Douglas
' county were alert, enthusiastic, and active at all
points. It Is difficult to see how such a deal as the
one referred to could have been put over and yet
nothing of it bave been brought to the surface until
it was discovered by a "well known republican," who
at once took into his confidence the editor of a demo
cratic paper at Lincoln.
The whole story is in keeping with the despicable
tactics adopted by little men in pursuit of big ob
jects. It is intended to breed distrust, suspicion, and
dissension among republicans who are now united.
Fortunately, the story is one that carries its own
answer. Yet it is evidence of what the republicans
must face during the coming campaign. No form of
political chicanery will be neglected, no practice of
deceit or duplicity omitted, to confuse the voters by
the desperate democrats, who rely on such methods
to obtain victory.
A clean campaign is desirable, conducted on dig
nified lines, wherein issues will be fairly discussed
and the reason of the voters and not their prejudices
appealed to, but the democrats are making a poor
start in this direction.
SAVING FOR NEBRASKA CITIZENS.
v People of "Nebraska, all taxpayers, must be en
couraged by the very eloquent figures that come from,
the Stat Board of Equalization. The. tax levy for
state purposes has ben reduced one-third; the valua
tion of property listed for taxation has been reduced
by $120,932,941. The actual saving to taxpayer willq
be $8,589,398.26. s-.
Here is the concrete answer to the general de
mand for lower taxes and a reduction in the expense
of running the state. It is the republican method of
redeeming a promise. A special session of the leg-,
islature cut more than $2,000,000 from appropria
tions -already made. This, with the reduction in tax
levy and valuation announced, will bring the saving
effected very close to $6,000,000.
Careful management, prudent watchfulness of all
expenditures, the kind of oversight a good business
man gives to his personal affairs, has made this pos-'
sible. ' All the great activities of the state will still
be carried on, but at less cost, because the control of
all money-spending agencies is centralized, and
waste,' duplication, overlapping and the like is done
away with.
- The people are getting the benefit of the changes
that have come with lessened costs. This benefit is
'made the more certain because of better methods of
handling the state's business. And the savings ef
fected are for the citizens of Nebraska.
TOAITINO "THE NEXT WAR."
Debate in th British Hutu of Commons and th
senate of th. United States on th Balfour not
brought out torn points of thought common to both
peoples. Senator Borah and Joslsh Wedgewood,
labont member of parliament, expressed on of
these common thought by asking what good could
com of cancellation ef debts if the money so saved
was to be expended for armament.
. Along with his perfunctory and not a all satisfy'
ing explanation of the Balfour not, Lloyd George
announces the proposed immediate expenditure of
$10,000,000 for airplanes .for "horn defense."
France, demanding that Germany pay through th
not in settlement of French war claims, is planning
to expend from $150,000,000 to double that amount in
building the trans-Sahara railroad, that is to connect
and consolidate French African colonies, and make
more facile and certain transportation of colored
troops to Europe to fight under the trl-color. Ger
many begs for remission of reparations, and fortifies
the Kiel csnal. Russia turns her starving millions
over to American generosity, which never yet has
failed or faltered, and Trotzky parades himself at
the heead of the largest and most efficient army on
earth today.
The toast is not "Der Tag!" but to the next war,
The insanity of reactionary statesmanship has not
passed in Europe; nations over there are not ready
to give over ancient and outworn conditions, and
settle down in amity and concord to work out
destiny that would be glorious in every aspect, war
it not marred by unworthy human aspirations and am
bitions.
America still is the hope of the world, and Amer
ica will help the world, but can do' little for Europe
until the leaders over there give up notions that rest
on force, and substitute those that are supported, by
reason. Justice must prevail, but justice can not be
done, nor equity be achieved until all are ready to
submit to justice and willing-to do equity.

The Average Voter la lo Blame.
FREAK OF THE PRIMARY,,
Tennessee presents one of the novel complica
tions that may arise under the primary system of
nominations. Congressman Padgett, popular in his
district, was opposed for renomination by a single
opponent The congressman died just before election
day, and when it was too late to get another name
on the ballot. Consequently this provided his ad
versary with a walk-pver. . However, several of Pad
gett's friends were not only willing but eager to run,
with him out of the way. Consequently they organ
ised a movement to vote for the dead man, knowing
he was dead, and give him the majority, that a new
election may be called and one of their number ba
placed on the ticket.
On the surface this may seem good politics, even
if it be sharp practice. The question is: When they
deliberately voted for a dead man, knowing him to
be dead, did they not voluntarily disfranchise them
selves so far as that election is concerned? If the
supporters of the, dead man's opponent cast their
votes in good faith, should they be disfranchised as
regards the election, and required to go through the
motions again? If a voter willingly and knowingly
casts a vote for one who is disqualified, he accepts
in advance the effect of his action, which is to waste
a vote. This the Tennessee group seems to have done.
If a primary result can be set aside on the basis
here proposed, it might be overturned on a similar
pretext, the deliberate plot of an interested com
bination. Such proceedings make farcical the serious
business of choosing candidates for public office.
SMALL. MEN ; BIO ISSUES.
There ware giants in those days." ' Others than
A. C Townley have been impressed with the shortage
ef big men in publi Of a today. In ascribing the re
vanes of the Nonpartisan league to the fact that
certain American states are not growing big men he
H at least half Tight The desire to be considered
great is frequent enough,' but in small men it results
only, in lack of capacity for team work and in un
ending struggles for personal advancement This is
a condition that exists in all parties, hut particularly
among the radical factions.
Mr. Townley, of course, had North Dakota, and
perhaps Minnesota in mind. Did he refer to Lynn
J. Frazier, recalled as governor and now candidate
for th United Stag sepatet .Undoubtedly he
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN OMAHA.
It may be that Rev. William Sanford preaches a
peculiar religion, and in a peculiar way. -For the
matter of that, so did John the Baptist, Paul the Tent-
maker, Jan Hus, Savonarola, Martin Luther, William
Booth, and a tremendous host of others whose names
are indellibly connected with the progress of Chris
tianity and the story of civilization.
Rev. Willian Sanford has a right to preach and
practice his own religion, so long as it does not offend
against good public or private morals. The Omaha
Bee knows nothing of his tenets, but it does believe
that if the police were to protect him from the possi
ble assemblage of hoodlums and thoughtless onlook
ers, who customarily gather around such places, and
who idly disturb the proceedings, the neighbors who
are now complaining might have less occasion to
grumble.
Any form of religion that devoutly worships
God, esteeming Him as the chief good, whether it
embraces all the forms and practices of the Christian
religion or not, is a good religion for those who find
comfort and consolation in its teachings. Sec-,
tarians at times forget' this fundamental fact, and
in their zeal for their own beliefs are prompted to
infringe on the beliefs of others.
Rev. William Sanford and those who partake of
his creed may be in error in detail, but not in foun
dation. They are exercising one of th dearest rights
of until, that of worshiping God in their own way.
They "should be protected in this right Mr. Sanford
and his flock should have consideration for the rights
of other people, but this does not mean that they are
to be deprived of their own. A little tolerant
patience may solve the problem.
AT THE VERY CENTER.
If you were asked to give the location of the
geographic center of Nebraska, what town or county
would you name? Few persons, probably, would
place it as far west as Custer county. And yet the
geological survey has announced that it is ten miles
northwest of Broken Bow. This imaginary point, the
hub of the state, lies somewhere between the towns
of Ernst and Merna. -. ; ,y,
Iowa's center falls five miles northeast of Ames.
That of Kansas is fifteen miles north of Great Bend.
No doubt each of these points falls in some farmer's
field. At the risk of starting a neighborhood feud
it may be suggested that the proprietor of the
pivotal point hog-tie his distinction by giving his farm
a name indicating its position.
Half way along the road from New York to San
Francsco lies the "Midway ranch." The significance
of its name is not to be missed, and the city of Kear
ney, which lies nearby, borrows fame from the fact.
Nebraska is not far from the geographic center
of the United States. This position has been de
termined as falling a few miles over the state line,
in Smith county, Kansas, latitude 39 degrees, 60
minutes, and longitude 98 degrees, 35 minutes. From
there the square miles of the mainland extend equally
in all directions. This is the farthest inland point a
distinction and , at the same time something of a
handicap.
Seattle is to have an astronomical observatory,
with a telescope to cost a million dollars. ' And the
beauty of it is that every now and then during certain
seasons of the year the air is so clear at Seattle that
the stars are visible to the naked eye.
A woman frightens a robber by threatening to
stab him with her hatpin, and a burglar flees when a
fretful baby cries in the night. .Just as well kill a
man as scare him to death.
. The automobile is really a boon to Chicago in
the present emergency. A motor car may not be a
strikebreaker, but it certainly is a great alleviator of
a street car strike's terror.
So Lloyd George was only spoofing us about the
forgiveness of debts. Very well, but the practice of
sending up trial balloons is too common.
Chicago straphangers will, now that the street car
strike is ort develop their leg muscles to match that
of their forearms. .
Missouri democrats evidently know what they
want, and part of it is to run their own affairs. .
Perhaps Europe would be willing to pay off its
American debt in nice new paper money.

votes were counted.

Union, Neb., Aug. 3. To the Edi
tor of The Omaha Bee: Will you
please answer- the following ques
tions In the Question department of
The Omaha Bee's next issue?
The thing I want to know is
whether or .not the following words
would be termed as foreign words.
I am working on a word contest
where the rules say do not use "for
eign" words. The dictionary gives
these words with two bars before
them and says such words have not
yet become anglicised. Since some
of these words are commonly used,
I don't know whether they will still
be "termed foreign words or not.
Here are the words, or some ot
them: Abandon, alga, algor, cafe,
argala, ara. J. A. S.
Answer: Webster s international
dictionary elves as English words
all but "ara" and "cafe."
