It is also the state primary, at which can didates for all state offices and for United States sen ator and congressmen in all six districts are to be named. . Also, a city election is on the schedule, at which seven commissioners are to be chosen, and some amendments to the charter and other important mat ters are to be voted on. If you are not registered, you cannot vote. ♦ * * Have you changed your residence since the last election, held in November, 1922? Are you one of the thousands of newcomers who have settled here since then? If so, it is up to you to visit the office of the election commissioner at the courthouse be fore Friday, March 28, and get straight on the books. Do not neglect this, if you wish to take part in the election of the officers of your country, from president down. The greatest danger to American institutions is indifference. Almost one-half of the men and women who are qualified to vote neglect or fail to exercise that greatest of all privileges. What good does it do to grumble at results after election is over, and you have not voted? You merely accept in advance whoever may be elected, and are estopped from kicking at the outcome. * ♦ m Whatever your political predilections or preju dices may be, if you are a citizen of the United States, your duty is to vote. And if you live in Omaha 3hd are not registered, you cannot vote. Commissioner McHugh says that 10,000 voters are not registered. If you are‘one of them, do not puttoff the business any longer. Go and get your name on the list. VACATIONS IN MATRIMONY. "As the husband is the wife is,” sang Tennyson •n his most tuneful philosophy. Yet here and there ‘re encounter the twain who are dismayed at the 'hought of becoming "one fle3h.” Mr. and Mrs. John Seymour Winslow of New York have de termined on a year apart, a "matrimonial vacation,” in order that they may preserve 'individuality. The old colored woman’s plea for divorce on the ground that she had “just nachally done lost all taste lor that man,” had more of reason in it than seems on the surface. Intimate association frequently breeds a fed-up feeling that must find relief some where. Not a few domestic shipwrecks might be averted if only the husband‘and the wife could now _.nd then take a short vacation. Probably this is not needed to preserve their individuality, but to rid iheir nerves of a certain nagging pressure that often becomes unendurable and explodes with disastrous effects. All are not like this, but in the case of equal partnerships, which form the basis of the most successful matrimonial enterprises, each of the part ners at times is willing to let the other go a lonely way for a little while. Of course, this Implies a feality to the plighted troth under all conditions. That pledge never be comes irksome when a mating is true. “Absence makes the heart grow fonder,” and the hours spent jn “vacation” are not wasted, because they usually are filled with the memories of what has passed and the anticipated joys of future days. For, as Hia watha mused: "As the cord unto the bow is. So unto the man is woman. ■While she bends him, she obeys him; While she draws him, yet she follows. Useless each without the other." A year may seem a long time for such a respite from too close communion. The idea, however, has something to rest upon besides vanity. Real love will not suffer, and the mutual respect of one for the other will be deepened if it be not alloyed with the ennui that often pervades the best of regulated homes. CATS TOO SMART FOR LAWS. Some men, according to William Shakespeare, tan not endure the purring of a harmless, necessary eat. In his day the cat might have been regarded as harmlesg, and no doubt was necessary. That was long before the market was flooded with patent rat traps or the scientists had commenced to dig into Tabby’s record. Long ago Prof. N. S. Shaler Of Harvard informed the world that the cat has intellect. If, said he, the bovine or the equine genus of animals were as in telligent as the feline, man never would have taken a horseback ride nor drank a milk punch. Because he would not have subjugated either the horse or the ox. ‘ Bartholomew, a horse trainer of note, who once exhibited a collection of performing horses, spoofed at all tales of intelligence concerning the horse. He learns certain routine signals, said Bartholomew, and does a succession of acts by rote. But his intellect is away below par. Now comes along Dr. Epinay of Paris, to confirm all these things about the cat, at least. Thomas or Tabitha, as the case may be, is an anarchist, pure and simple. Capricious, undependable, notionate, full of idle fancies. And this is because of that super abundance of brain that brings the cat fnniily a little closer to the human family than either the horse, the ox or the dog, on whose friendship and fidelity so great stress is laid. Householders, who are being entertained by the midnight serenades prevalent at this time of year, incident to the lovemaking stunts of the domesticated rats, will agree they arc anarchists. That will he the least of what is said of them and to them. But the cats will go on just the same, sleeping by day, yowling by night, showing affection or dislike, and generally engaging the attention of those who love t them, regardless of any conclusion the naturalists may hold concerning their disposition to obey any law but their own whims. IOWA FIRST OUT FOR COOLIDGE. Hawkeye republicans have stepped out to head the procession for Cal Coolidge. The convention at Des Moines gave the president practically unanimous endorsement. A more significant thing was the fail ure to endorse Smith W. Brookhart, or to name him as one of the delegates at large to the Cleveland convention. Brookhart’s supporters had announced they would tolerate no act that might appear to be a slight toward their man. When the time came they gave up the fight. For the second time an Iowa re publican convention was silent as to the work of one of the state’s senators. Albert B. Cummins will head the delegation to Cleveland, and Hanford McNider, late- commander of the American Legion, will be one of the seven delegates at large. L. J. Dickinson of Algona, who represents the T*enth district in congress, was endorsed as a candi date for vice president. This is in the nature of recognition of the farmers. Dickinson is one of the leaders of the farm bloc in the house. It was the Tenth that held out against the endorsement of Coolidge without similar recognition for Brookhart. So the recognition given to Dickinson has some of the appearance of a compromise. The convention has answered the democratic sneer that republicans in Iowa will keep Brookhart as a bait for farmer votes. WHAT THE RADIO BUGS LIKE BEST. While the information is not in itself either star tling or amazing, it is good to be told by one who knows that jazz is not a first place favorite with those who take their music by radio. William E. Harkness, vice president of the American Telegraph and Telephone company, told a gjoup of diners in New York the other day that jazz is second or third on the list. The prime favorite is symphony music. Folks would rather listen to that form of enter tainment than to the tintinnabulation of the tinkling cow bell. Mr. Harkness made one other statement that is all to the credit of the radio audience. He says 54 per cent of the patrons of WEAF, the great New York station, desire interesting or instructive talks. These facts have been discovered through an in tensive study of the subject. Thousands of letters have been gathered by the management of WEAF in the course of 18 months. The information con tained in these letters has been carefully examined and classified. It is not surprising that men who .are most in terested in the radio have given such careful atten tion to its needs and requirements. The A. T. and T. has often been referred to as “the best engineer ed corporation.” Whether this is true or not, the refinement of management shown in the examina tion of , the desires of radio, patrons suggests a far sighted wisdom. Some day the managers of WEAF will no doubt pursue«the inquiry a little further, and give us some sort of definite information as to what the average radio bug regards as “interesting or instructive.” In other lines this, has a rather wide spread, and it may be found to take in almost as much territory as the broadcasting itself. ON JERKING THE CAR. Herman Adams is a motorman on a trolley line in St. Paul. He is wearing a medal that denotes unusual qualities, even in a motorman. For several years he piloted a one man car over a suburban route. Last week he was transferred to another run. On the day the switch was made, his car was stopped by a group of patrons, who presented him with the medal. It was a little token of their appreciation of the fact that he had always stopped and started his car without a jerk. Not so very much, but sufficient to gain for him a permanent place in the hearts of the men and women who had ridden in his car. Other motormen might take example from Herman. We do not know much about running a trolley car, but we do know that* some of them are mighty jerky, at times it seems unnecessarily so. Motormen have their patience tried quite as sorely as do others. Sometimes more so. Company rules are rigid. Time schedules are meant to be followed. A lot of things have to be looked after. So the work ing minutes of the motorman are ordered, not by him, but by someone over him in authority. Against this he has to balance his duty to the public, and this often requires that he exercise a great deal of forbearance. Patrons are not always as reasonable as they might be, or as considerate. They, too, have their problems, in which the motorman enters only incl ■ Mentally. A clash of interests is set up frequently. Now and then something a little more than impa :ience results. The motorman in his little cab at ihe front end of the car has at least a 2-to-l the bet ter of the argument. He it is who starts and stops the car, clangs the gong, and once in awhile slams on two points of juice before he lets the brake goj just to relieve his feelings a little. We wish more of! hem were wearing medals like that given Herman Ydams. As we understand the veiled comments of the democratic press, the most satisfactory presidential candidates are those that Mr. Bryan is not for. The Mexican revolution and our own oil scandal began simultaneously. The revolution is ended, but the scandal is still revolving. r Homespun Verse —Bf Omaha'* Own P*»t Robert Worthington Davie DOWN ON THE FARM THEY CALL TO ME.

Hamilton’s Conception of Nationality State attachments and state importance have been the bane of this country. We cannot annihilate, but we may perlwps take out the teeth of the serpents.— Gouverneur Morris in the Constitutional Convention. By adopting this Constitution tve shall become a na tion; ive are not one now. We shall form, a national character; we are now too dependent on others.—Jatne6 Wilson in the Constitutional Convention. XXVII. « N JUNE IS, when the conven tion hart been In session nearly five weeks, there rose In committee of the whole a member who hart hitherto been silent, and addressed the chair. We may suppose all eyes were turned upon tills figure, young, slender, handsome, for his fame al ready stood high. We may guess at the appearance he made from the portraits we have of him; he -was dressed with care; high-collared, close fitting velvet coat displayed the man liness of his shoulders; his hair was tied back with a ribbon; there was lace at his throat and his finely shaped head wus carried with confi dence and a consciousness of the value of what was in it. « We may suppose General Washing ton in the chair, for he loved and ad mired this leader of the New York delegation, who was young enough to have been his son; he loved him for the warmth and generosity of his na ture, he admired him for his gallan try and great abilities. Those abili ties Daniel Webster did not overstate when 40 years later he described them 'in one of his gigantic figures. “He smote the rock of our national resources and abundant streams of revenue gushed forth. He touched the dead corpse of public credit and | It sprang upon its feet." J Alexander Hamilton was now 30 years old and already stood at the head of the legal profession In New York. But his talents were not only legal; they were military, fiscal and political. He had served on Wash ington’s staff, and disclosed In that rapacity military abilities of the l highest order. Indeed, many years later when Washington was recalled from retirement during the French war scare and made commander-in chief of the army, Hamilton was made second In command. Perhaps of all men in the convention Hamil ton was most responsible for its meet ing. As early as 1730 he had pro posed a convention of the states to form a closer federation, for his acute mind perceived that only nationality could save the liberties the war had won. We have his testimony that during the war the army, except for the personal influence of Washington, would have obeyed state authority In preference to that «f congress. He denounced thei government of the confederation as fit neither for peace nor war. Retiring from the congress of the confederation he became a member of the New York legislature, and there took the lead"*!n the move ment that led to the Philadelphia con vention. Hamilton bad only one intellectual peer in the convention. That was James Madison of Virginia. Madison believed In democracy, but a democ racy to be governed by intellect. Ham lltorr did not believe in democracy. Ire cause he did not believe it could he trusted to give nationality to the coun try. IJke Madison, he believed In the government of the fit, but he believed that could only be assured by a plan that would concentrate its powers in the hands of those who should be se cure from the fickle gusts of popular passions. Those two fine minds af ford us a striking Illustration of the nature and origin of the successive compromises that produced the con stitution. Hamilton and Madison stood there opposed on a fundamental principle of government. Their divi Abe Martin ■ U«ff 7 /f*(tAr,i#,su cA>r rITrtfttUh £Al Of£ iL~Z&&**+!*2'L.

V. A. BRIDGE, Cir. Mgr. ' Sukatribed and »worn to before me thia 4th day of March. IW4 J W. H. QUIVEY, I <3o«l) Noldiy Public I sion was the line of political cleavage that was to produce the two great parties of later days; yet because both had a eommon objective they were presently, when the compromises were effected, to stand together as the two chief advocates of the constitution. Their names must he forever linked, for while as statesmen they w»re leader* of opposing political thought, as patriot* they sink their differences and labored for the common good. If we want to see statesmanship in it* highest application to the public wel fare, the pages of “The Federalist," In which Hamilton and Madison joined opposing minds to Insure the adoption of the constitution, will re veal it to us. m The political differences that separ ated these two minds have continued to separate Americans to this day, but we now too farely see In the con tests of party the care for the preser vation of the principle which under lies party and vvhich is the only ex cuse for the existence of party, that these two leaders displayed. Hamll ton and Madison ware able and ambi tious men; but they knew what too many of our political leaders today forget, that the theory of party Is simply a theory of government, and that the party that would impair government Itself to gain its own ends has destroyed the sole legitimate rea son for its being. Hamilton and Mad ison differed simply on the question of what was the best government, or Its Hamilton put it in the convention, "The great question Is. what provi sion shall we make for the happiness of our country?" His own answer was. Give the people a government strong enough to control them. Madi son’s answer was, Give the people a government they can control. Hamilton and Madison differed as much in person, character and tem perament as they did In political theory. Hamilton was bold, specula tive. audacious, superbly self confi dent, carrying into politics the Bame dash and (baring be had exhibited as a military leader. Madison was cau tious, conservative, conciliatory in politics: in manner, gentle and disarm lng, but with a quiet persistence that carried him far. In execution be could not rival Hamilton, whose genius was constructive and the force of whose intellect overawed opposi tion, but Madison was the more suc eessful in those arts by which pub lie opinion is molded and led. The constitution bears more gif his imprint than of Hamilton's, which again goep to show that in politics the great sol vent is compromise. Madison was more in Ills element In the constitutional convention than Hamilton was, Hamilton would have been a more successful president than Madison was. Madison's mind was the refining, the analytical, th" nri Justing type, but lacked the initiative and boldness essential to decisive ac. Hon. As president his fame suffered. That of Hamilton would have grown in the chief magistracy. Madison, as was popularly said, had to be kicked into war. Hamilton always was ready to meet provocation a little more than half way. Madison shrank even from the harsh course of removing incom petent military commanders, believing every man’s motives and actions to he as pure as his own. Hamilton, when his financial policy was attacked and had traced those attacks to Jef ferson, promptly retaliated on the sec retary of state and started a cabinet war that Washington had difficulty in stopping. But unlike as Hamilton and Madi son were, there lias been no happier alliance in our political history than w-as formed when they undertook to vindicate the work of the convention to the people of the states The play of their minds was perfectly adjusted to their Joint* task: its execution stands a monument to the construc tive uses of political controversy. But the convention rejected the an swerr of both Hamilton and Madison, 'and by a middle course arrived at what promised to be a balance be tween the two extremes. We have now to examine the plan by which Hamilton proposed to achieve for America that nationally which to his mind appeared the only refuge of the states from dissolution and anarchy. (Copyright.

Co-Operation to Build City. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: The enterprise displayed by The Omaha Bee In featuring in the splendid manner It did the trip of the business men to Des Moines should be appreciated by all Omaha people. Likewise, notice should be taken of the new spirit which appears to animate our business leaders, In that they seem willing to take lessons from a rival city and emuiate its example. However, I fear, to judge from what I have been able to glean from read Ing the expressions of those who in vestigated the methods of Des Moines' business men, everyone failed to grasp one great difference between the civic life of Des Moines and Omaha. Des Moines Is fundamentally a closed shop town, where collective bargaining Is a rule in practically all lending Industries, while those who claim to rule business, and finance in Omaha, love to boast of our city as an open shop town. ' It is apropos at this time to call at tention to these comparisons: At the time the executive committee of the Omaha Business Men's association proclaimed war on the trades unions of this city. Omaha's population near ly trebled that of Des Moines. The ratio of business and industry was practically the same. To offer a speeffir- example: Twenty years ago, when It was decreed that the Typo graphical union should be driven from this city, Omaha's commercial print ing industry had an output at least 60 per cent larger than Des Moines. Today Des Moines, which has never had any serious disturbance in the commercial printing business, and where the union shop is almost uni versal, produces 50 per cent more printing than Omaha and pays higher wages for shorter hours. In other lines of industry, the same conditions largely prevail. 1 am not attempting to claim that this state of affairs is to be charged entirely to the employers, for it "takes two to make a quarrel.” But I do know this fact:' Time and again of recent years when the repre sentatives of labor have held out the olive branch their proffers have been spurned. Moreover, I am sure that those who control the financial and commercial destinies of Omaha must realize that the unions are here to stay and that 20 per cent of our most thrifty citizens belong to unions, that a large proportion of them own their homes, that they love Omaha and ex pect to remain here and help in the city's development. Until this is real ized. we will miss much that Is best in the Des Moines spirit and the Greater Omaha will be delayed. V. B. KINNEY. Secretary Omaha Typographical Union. Kor Greater Omaha.

A scientist attached to one of the government bureaus, while gathering, with an assistant, certain data on the upper Missouri river in South Dakota, reported a curious phenomenon that sometimes occurs in that region. It wag in December. About noon one day there came to the scientist's ears a heavy report, audible for miles, that led him to remark that a blowout must have occurred on the river. On return Ing to the place where he had crossed In the morning he found an irregular hole, covering a space 100 feet square, in the solid ice. which averaged 26 inches in thickness. The theory is that such blowouts re sult from imprisoned air gradually ac cumulating In a favorable spot, where It is subjected to tremendous pressure by the force of the river current.— Baltimore Sun.
