In the case of Andrew Mellon, secretary of treas ury, the democratic attack broke down before a wave of common sense. Such an attempt to unseat a cabinet officer deserves a little more than casual examination. Discarding the apparent motive of partisanship, the effort is without reason. Equally, ia it contrary to what the American democracy has been trying to bring about for almost a century. From Washington to John Quincy Adams a profes sional office-holding class was developed. It was so entrenched that the succession to the presidency was almost determined in advance by progress through the senate, the cabinet, and so on. Under the great statesmen men were named to subordinate positions in the government with the expectancy and almost the assurance of life tenure. * w * When, in 1828, Andrew Jackson was elected pres ident, it was the first real victory for the people since Washington’s own day. Old Hickory found himslf confronted with a situation in some sense comparable to that which Coolidge now faces. Web ster, Clay, Calhoun, and other whig and democratic leaders in the senate opposed Jackson bitterly. Con firmation was refused to his appointments*, and everything possible was practiced by his opponents to embarrass or thwart the president’* plans. Even John Quincy Adams, retired from office, did not re frain from doing things that hampered his succes sor. Jackson persisted, for he was well aware of the importance of the task ha had before him. He was breaking up the “succession,” putting an end to the possible development of an aristocracy of office-holding in a republic, and opening the door to democratic growth and opportunity. The Whig party never fully recovered from the blows Jackson dealt it, although William Henry Har rison, its candidate in 1840, achieved a most over whelming victory over Van Burcn. This, too, was a victory of the people, resulting from the effect of the financial policy inaugurated by Jackson and which Van Buren attempted to carry on. The events were leading up to the establishment of the repub lican party, also the party of the people, which came into power in 1860, and only for 16 of the 64 years of its history has it not directed the government from the White House and effectually represented this people. This historic background is needed to exhibit the picture of the present day. President Cooiidge is meeting in congress • quality of opposition that so closely resembles that directed against Jackson, flow ing from the bitter partisanship of his day, that the picture is startling. It is preposterous, though, to « ompare Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Benton and other -giants of that time with Walsh, Wheeler, Caraway, •Heflin, McKellar and Harrison. To attack Andrew Mellon on the grounds that he is u business man, has made a success of his own life, and is consequently possessed of property, reaches the apex of absurdity. If the secretary of the treasury is to be measured for fitness according to the standard set up by the democrats in the sen ate, then the president will have to go to the poor hopse to get a man for the place. The secretary of tha treasury dealt with the greatest financial operations entrusted to any man in the world. No private corporation anywhere transacts business in volume equaling that of the United States, and this all centers finally in the Treasury department. It is a great thing for the American people that a man who is capable of deal ing with these great problems, whose business abil ity is proven, will give ove,r his affairs and assume the management of the public business. • * ♦ Democrats find it easy to explain why Mr. Mc Adoo could resign as secretary of tha treasury and next day set up in business as a lawyer, prosecuting claims for corporations against the treasury Such conduct as that . is “permissible.” But Andrew Mellon must rid himself of every vestige of property ownershop or control, in order to meet the fine pointed qualifications prepared for him by a nest of partisan president baiters. Happily for the country, the senate had a spasm of sanity, and ended the McKellar move almost as soon as it was commenced. HOW DEEP DOES BEAUTY GO? Trippingly on the tongue we nay, "Beauty ii only akin deep,” and follow it with, "Handsome is as handsome does.” What do these old saws mean? They come down to us from a time when folks and especially women folks did not have the toilet ac cessories that are so common now. Yet they had beautiful women in those days. If you think not, retd Tennyson’s "A Dream of Fair Women,” or look up Goethe’s account of Walpurgis nscht, told in "Faust.” Nature was good to those women, for the drug store and the beauty parlor were far off. Probably the fair Rosalind would have done better if she had not been so fair, but it certainly is true that Beren garia did not bob her hair. This brings us up to the doctor who proposes to rectify blemishes of the skin by X-ray methods. Of course, be deals only with the outer layer, conceding thst beauty is not even skin deep. No doubt but some miracles have been wrought by scientific men who give their time to correcting nature's handiwork. Some ghastly blunders have been made, too, as witness the rase of an actress whose hair turned green instead of blonde, and then all came out when ahe tried to restore it. Or another, who is just now suing a beauty doctor because he ruined her nose by producing a dimple where he set out to remove a hump. We know of another actress, perhaps the most • talented on the American stage today, whose skin at 54 is as soft and clear as it was at 17, glowing £ with the glory of health, and whose cosmetic* are soap and water only. Nightly she diubs her face with grease paint, needed for the characters she plays, and nightly wipes it clean with cold cream and then washes it thoroughly. She sleeps lang hours, eats plain foods, and rejoices in a charm of complexion that is the envy of millions who search for the secret in rouge pot and lipstick and search in vain. We are talking of Julia Marlowe, whose secret is regular hours and habits, long walks in the open air, and good soap and water. Not all can be like her, but ail can try her method if they wish. It is not much harder than the ways some go about to achieve uncertain results. YES, DRAFT THE DOLLARS, TOO. If ever we do have to go to war again, it will be with better and fuller grace if it be on some such basis as is implied by the “conscription of dollars,” of which President Harding spoke, and which Bernard Baruch has just elaborated before the house committee on military affairs. Frankly, it is difficult to see justice in any plan that can draft flesh and blood and not property. Cynics may point out that the possession of dollars requires also the possession of intelligence, and that the latter will be able to protect the former. Such a narrow view may be dismissed. It re quires no argument, and is not worthy of serious consideration. Possession of dollars is a sign of in telligence, but not the sole sign. Other tests may be applied and some even more worthy of influencing and guiding the judgment. The right to possess property, to own and control the results of one's ef forts, is a dear one, fundamental and will be de fended. Lenin’s great scheme of communism broke down when the Russian peasants asserted this right. The question is simply whether another war is to be accompanied by such demonstrations as marked the last. Is it to be accompanied by an orgy of profiteering, or is it to be carried on by all for the protection of all? Our nation will only consent to enter a war at a time when the liberties and rights of all are in danger. Directly and indirectly, the government did conscript much wealth during the last war, but in the next the plans should be for the complete control not only of wealth, hut the means for producing wealth. It may be true that without profit war will be unpopular. We may try the plan with little loss to anyone. It is agreed that a lot of soldier boys will fight with better heart if they can be assured in advance that some of the stay-at-homes are not taking undue or excessive profits. The draft should include labor and money as well as fighters. FISHERMAN'S HOPES. Seining the ponds at Miller park for the purpose of transferring the bass to Carter lake brings up the question of a service that has been much neglected in the last few years. At one time in Ne braska the business of propagating fish for stocking public and even private waters was enthusiastically carried on. Fish hatcheries were established, and exist now, but less of activity is noted in their con duct. Word comes from Iowa that farmers along the edge of the great Winnebago swamp, the drainage of which was forbidden by the courts, are planning to fence up and patrol pools where game fish breed. From these the young fry will be taken and sup plied to clubs that are clamoring for stock to build up preserved ponds and lakes. Public source* are inadequate for the demand, and the promise is that the business will be lucrative for those who engage in it. Some notion of the value of that swamp region may be gained from the statement that $200,000 worth of muskrat skins were shipped from there during the last season. Trapping is now forbidden by the owners of the abutting land, who are exert ing riparian rights in order to secure control. This may lead to another l^est in courts. Abolition of spring shooting has increased the flocks of migratory water fowl. Carefully devised and administered laws have given needed protection to game fish, but the increase in the number of fishermen has outrun the natural increase in fish. Hope ia entertaflied by those most interested that the hatchery business under public control can be so stimulated that fishing will be good again in many Nebraska lakes where the chance of catching a bass is now remote. Boys who work their way through school get best results, says an educational authority. Probably because they know what it costs and so want to get their money’s worth. This will take no privileges from fathers who can foot son’s bill while he is going to school. % A1 Smith, New York's very popular governor, is making a strong bid for further support at home if nowhere else. He is driving the legislature to cut down tax burdens by decreasing expenditures. Census bureau calculators have moved us up from $1,950 to $2,918 per capita in the last ten years. Some of us feel as if our taxes had ir^ creased that much. The settling basin* at the Minne I.usa plant have been washed again. Housewives will hope that some of the mineral is taken out of the water that geta into the mains. A dispute as to the name of the defendant In • murder trial may be laid over. It is the man who is charged with the crime. The army flyers who are going around the world will have to move faster thnn they are if they equal Phineas Fogg’s record. No complaint in Council Bluffs that the campaign was apathetic. f———————■— ——\ Homespun Verse —By Omaha's Own Poat— Robert Worthington Dnvie \___-_ l HAVE ALWAYS FELT THIS WAY.

We see you are going lo put down the price of gasoline. So however many dollars we can Kpnre for gas, we can than get more miles and stay out in i he bus more hours per month. Two years ago, the bait to demo cratic primary voters was "Harmony Clubs" which nominated you, and in ihe general election produced a differ ence of over 120.000 votes between you and your senatorial ally. Or was that more due to the fact that Senator Hitchcock's picture was not broad casted over the state upon thousands of envelopes with that of a republican candidate. Now the "vote bait" to save your self is "Consumers Clubs." They look tine on paper. But 1 write to ask. if you are nominated upon your ooal peddilng and gas-promise record, will you carry on this plan of state com petition and apply it to other lines of business and 'occupations, whose owners or individual members must pay the local taxes to support the schools, community and state. For instance, Just a few that might be considered would be: 1. Bryan Basket Brigade. Have every householder pledge, to send in orders for groceries to an office main tained on state premises, heat, light, telephone and incidentals, as is th* State Coal Co. You might forward these to the large out state mail order houses who would ship the same C. O. D. 2. State Colthing Co. Put in a city employee in every town who will take measurements for clothing and shoes ■from catalogues and samples, send you the orders, you sublet them to mail order houses, who would ship direct. 3. Loyal Labor League. Hava every employer sign a pledge to pay less wages or salaries and reduce hie costs: have every laboring person sign a pledge to take less pay. nr authorize you to import cheaper labor from other states. 4. The Farmers Finish. Tf the farmer hasn't troubles enough now. why not extend the principle to his business—restore the State Bureau of Markets, put In exchanges so as to bring about a reduction of his prices— or ship in products from elsewhere. It doesn't sound compatible with sound economic, conditions in Ne braska to so treat our largest busi ness, but when the farmer thinks It over, he will In fairness recognize that all lines of business should Join togelher in succumbing to state com petition. If it i* sound for any of them. If a combine of a half-million farmers refuse to co-operate In what ever you might put forth, of course, you would punish them as you would anvone else. I will awa't with interest your Idea as to how far you think this state competition scheme should extend. DALB P. STOrail. About the Constitution. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Tour editorial with ref erence lo the constitution and the gun toter was presented In a very Interesting manner, but contained several misstatements which 1 thought you would like to know about In order that you may not make the same mistake twice. The first of these was the following: "The po lice power of the federal government is ample to safeguard the citi sens,” etc. According to all of the decisions on the proposition there is no police power of the federal government. There is such a thing as the police power of the state and that Is the leasnn why certa.n laws dealing with sanitation, public health and public morals are sustained when otherwise they might not survive for the reason of their unconstitutionality. There Is no police power of I he t'nited Stales government and 1 will tell you why. Article 10 of the amendments to the constitution of the United States provides: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor pro hibited hy it to the states are re served to the states, respectively, or to the people." You can thus see that powers given to the United States government must he expressly conferred and the United States government receives no power hy inference or by reason of anything other than the express delegation con tained in the United States constitu tion.

Probably one of the best cared for passengers, and the one receiving the moat attention and compliments, ever carried by the Union Pacific, went eastward over the road last Saturday. No prince or potentate traveling In state across the American continent ever received better care or attention than Mrs. Mary Jeffers of Bedford, Ore., on her way to Cleveland, O. Mrs. Bed ford is a sprightly young lady who has seen 104 winters. She had a state room, and the wires were kept busy arranging for her rare and comfort all along the route. A physician loitered at. every large station along the line until after the train passed, insuring prompt medical attention If needed. T. K. Uane, I he conductor of the Pullman section, had instructions to look after her every want. Passengers vied with one anolher in little attention* dear to the feminine heart, and Mrs. Jeffers had a smile and a "thank you” for everybody. We do not know whether Mother Jeffers’ hair was bobbed or not. hut we do know that there was a little *pot of Mother Nature's color in each of her cheek*, and the smile on her lips was far prettier than any touch of lipstick could give. That •mile was a benediction on every passenger privileged to greet leer. The Burlington has promised Sidney a brand new arid com modious depot during the summer. We have Ju*t accepted an invi tation from Martin Dirnerytobe his guest the day the new depot is dedicated.

Having visited some 10 or 12 print shops where the primary ballots are being primed, and listening to the various argu ments. pro and con. of editors, printers and citizens, we have arrived at the conclusion that the man. if such there be, who understands all the kinks and curlycues of our primary and election laws, has it over old Solomon four ways in the matter of wisdom. Winter lingering in the lap of spring? Not a bit of it. it's a clinch. WILL II. MAUPI.W __J the article that the constitution of the United Sates was declared in force in 1791, and that "considerable water has run under the bridge since that time.'’ It is said In the concluding paragraph that the defense of the constitution "does not lie in seaich ing out ways to twist and distort its provisions in order to Justify prac tice that public morals and puhlie policy condemn.’’ It was intended that the United States constitution should not be changed as time wore on ex cept In an express manner pointed out in the constitution itself. No other change can be made in the constitu tion in any way other than that ape cifleally provided, and rightly so. It is not necessary to twist and distort the constitutional provisions in order to readily ascertain that a national gun-toting law is impossible unless the constitution Is changed. The read ing of Amendment 2 is ao palpably plain that anyone of ordinary intelli gence could determine Its meaning. In view of the fact-that there la no federal police power, the matter seems to be settled and I believe that my origins! contention now stands and 1 was Just wondering whether or not your paper was big enough to say the three hardest word* In any language. "We were wrong." In your paper of March 10. 1»J4, you had an editorial entitled "Vol stead injunction.” Thla editorial was splendid and correctly announced the right thought on the matter, and f want you to feel that I really appre elated and enjoyed reading It, and would like to have you understand that I am ready and willing to praise where praise is due as well as to erltl dze where criticism it due. It Is an old thought that It ia a friend who pointa out to ua our mi* takes Instead of allowing us to con tlnue making them, and this little contest between your paper and my self. euch ae it la, has really done rr\e some good and I hope end trust that you feel the same way about the mat ter. Probably if we kept the discus sion up long enough we would all learn to know something about the constitution In aplta of oureelves. Assuring you that my attitude is not that of one who desires to he critically mean but friendly and eon trary, I remain, E. D. O SULLIVAN. Chance for Primariee. Ainsworth, Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: The writer read with a great deal of Interest A. C. Rankin's article In The Omaha Bee. A* a voter of nearly 40 years In this state, 1 wish to make a suggestion or two along that line. While I fully realize that the peo ple have been grossly neglectful of their primary rights and privileges. 1 rannot wholly agree with Mr. Ran kin In his condemnation of the sys tem. Rather than throw up our hands and exclaim: "No use." let us ull get behind the plan and get all the good out of It w# can.

No one doubts the ability of either to make good in the executive chair and both should re ceive the popular primary vote. And ao it goes down the line.

GEORGE REATTT. “From State and Nation” —Editorials from Other Newspapers— \nt Where Nominees Are Named. from the Philadelphia Public l^edper. Sou Hi Dakota's farmer vote comes slowly In over muddy roads of March in the northwest. Whatever the final results, undue importance has been given thia skirmish for 1* delegates. South Dakota's primary was a side show. Its only significance Is that the Coolidge Johnson race was so amazinglv close. If half the yarns o farm radicalism and unrest are true, Johnson should have run awav with the state. The state "machine was for him. Governor McMaster, who cut gasoline prices last summer, and Senator Norbeck rode the section lines helping him preach the gospel of discontent. And yet the "farm up rising" all hut fizzled. Similar undue importance was given last week to McAdoo's Georgia triumph. He is a native Georgian. The state was his from the crack of the gun. Nevertheless, the result was hailed as the start of McAdoo's "beating hack.” It was no more sig nificant than Underwood's favorite son victory in Alabama. Georgia did not change the situation nor alter the fact that McAdoo is waging a de fensive fight for the nomination and that apologists find it hard to win. N'or is the La Kollette cloud over the nnrthw-est entitled to quite all the attention It gets. Give La Kollette his northwest and he would be no nearer the White House than he was 10 clamorous years ago. He does help enliven the campaign and he is giving Washington the hitty dotties and a few state chieftains the heebie-jeebies. That is about all. In the long run these side issues and dust whirls are of little import. What is important, as republicans look toward June in Cleveland, is the growing power of the Coolidge drive. Delegates now instructed for the president total 256. More than 300 more now claimed as certain for him In the east and south will give him in excess of the 555 votes necessary to a convention majority. In addi tion, Illinois, with 61; Ohio, 55; Penn sylvania, 79; Indiana, 3, and Texas, with 23. are by common consent now reckoned in the Coolidge column. South Dakota’s 33 votes were of no great importance to Coolidge but wsa do nr die. now or never, fo .Johnson in that stat». He threw - I hi# forces in: he fought to the finis His showing was such that South I»a kota ring* the death knell of hop** that have been dying for week*. What ia Important aa the demo rrata look toward June and New Yo: k la that their race still 1* anybodv a race. States with the powerful de *• gat ion* are strangely silent. Instrur. tlon* for favorite son* are not solving the democratic problem of who ahail be the nominee, oil ha* shoved the free-running McAdoo back into the ruck. The Underwood effort eeeni* dead from the ankles up. No demo cratic Moses is In sight. No democrat has made a real start in gathering the traditional two-third* vote—that barrier that breaks the heart of so many democratic con tenders. This turned McAdoo hope* to ashes at Han Francisco long before he was oil-bespattered and in da'a when he wore the prestige of hi# cabinet Jobs and a Wilson halo. Tire drift had been toward McAdoo, but a. few words on a senate witness s'ard and the McAdoo of 1924 was no longer the McAdoo of 1920. As we swing around toward the stretch leading up to the conventions, the side-shows like those in South Da kota, Georgia and in Wisconsin hard ly matter. They do not affect the re publican trend. That began develop ing early last fall and is now in full swing. The democratic trend has rot begun, but when it does it will hardlv come from such states as Georgia, Ualifornia, Alabama and South Dako ta. They do not make nominee-, much less presidents. In Moments of Depression. Of course were perfectly snd serenely confident of a sweeping re- ^ publican victory next November, but the interests of the country are secondary only to those of the party, and we will admit that we have our occasional moment# of depression when we hope the democrats won t nominate anybody especially crar", just in case the absolutely impossible should happen.—Ohio State Journal. ^St. Louis The popular way ia the Wabuah way.
