At regularly as the primary election Is held In Nebraska do we hear criticism snd complain! con cerning its workings. Most of these rest on matter* ’ that are uncontrollable by law. The object sought In tha primary election Is to pertnlt the voter, to select their own candidate*. By this method it was icssonably expected that dissatisfaction arising from tha old ronvention system would be done sway with. Whether the new plan has worked a* well as was expected, or whether it ha* failed in some reaped* IS not for us to say. It ha* done what the promoters of the plan expected it would, put. the responsibility for the nominations on the people themselves. We still hear complaints of hosses and ring* snd com binations and the like, hut the Anal answer must he that, the people named the ticket. • • • The primary law is a human device, and there for* Imperfect. If It hump* and bucks at times, eventually it gel* there, tine of the most, frequently haard complaint* is that under it* operations voters of one party may exercise considerable influence in naming the candidate of another party. The ready anewer to this 1* that the rule work* both ways. In tha legislature of 1921 aom# 4! nonpartisan leaguer, turned up in the house holding job* to which they had bean elected as republican*. That a deception had been practiced on aom# voter* by this trick of the nonpartisan* is admitted, and yet, under their designation, they justified themselves in using the label of an organisation who*# platform* and policies they opposed. At a general election the voter Is allowed to male# We aelaetion among all tha candidates, and the resulto alwaya ehow that thl* has been liberally •* erclaod. The difference between a primary and gen eral election la clearly drawn by tha law, yet we know at no plan whereby the voters of on# party ran ba limited to that party. Where they are reg istered aa affiliating with ®n* or the other of the or ganlaad partial, there la'aome chanre to control, but throughout tha slate, where the great mas* of the votara ar# not so hampored, an open primary is hound to roralt. In fact, that has been demanded by aona of tha minority groups, that they may hava opportunity to slip In candidates here and there whom thay otherwise can not hop# to get on tha • Irket. That is about tha worst that ran he said of tha primary. Tha fact that unknown men oreaaionally reoeiva tha nomination may have an explanation in tha faet that aometimea the voter plcke the stranger because ha knowa the other fellow too well. Expenee of making the campaign ia a matter for pereonal regulation. Tha law has fixed the amount tha can didate ie permitted to expend, hut nothing ie said aa to what may he expended In his behalf by others. Publicity is vital to one who seeks a nomination out aide his own bailiwick. Nebraska has not yet baen required to sustain the experience of some other states that have been deluged with money during a primary campaign. Tha danger, however, is always present.. Wherever an electorate is corrupted by the lavish ties of money, the voters are as blame worthy as the candidate. see Vo likelihood exists of a return to the old con vention system of making nomlnetions In this state. Dafoete In the primary law may be remedied ae ex perience diseloaea them. At least, when weak points •re dieclosed, the voter* will know what to guard against Thar* is only one possible change that might be accepted by tha people, and that would be tha •o-ealled short ballot form. Even this requires a constitutional amendment. Nebraska's constitution provides for the initiative and referendum, tha primary election, and in general locates tha power as well as tha responsibility for government In the citixens. Whether this is wise or not, it if the will of the people. Now as ever, the will of the people Is the supreme law. It may he exercleed whimsically, even fantastically, but still It ie the will of the people. Democracies are dis orderly, but as long as all share in the di .order, It dose not become anyone to complain about it. Arid it is recorded In history that the citixens of ■ fireek community once banished their best citixen for no other reaeon than that he was their best citixen. ONE FACT ABOUT THE TEAPOT. Quietly and almost without attracting attention, a little feet In connection with Teapot Dome ha* crapt lata the public print*. It is the report of the receivers, appointed by the federal court, at Cheyenne t« taka charge of the works. These find that tha Mammoth Oil company haa operated ef ficiently, that tha government haa been fully pro tected in ite right* under ths lease, snd thet no shenanigan of any kind exist*. Also t report from the secretary of the navy that ell above-ground storege tank* of the navy are at preeent filled, giving a total of some 1,400,000 barrels of oil on hand. Containers et COnrord, N. H„ In which about 250,000 barrels of oil will be stored, are yet to be filled. The navel underground •applies ere all being rared for properly, end at no point la the public interest at present, Jeopardised. •oppose—just supposing, you understand it should turn out that the leas# nn the Teapot Dome field W»e not each e bed bargain for the government after «11T Thet, Instead of it* being a source of loaa, it may reault in e saving?

The workers aav this la Inadequate, and ask for what amount* to shout $0 par rant Increase all around. This will add about 1100,000.000 a year to tha pay roll of the Postofllre department. 1-nder th* term* of the Kelly-Kdge bill, this Increase will b# compensated for by an addition In parcels post rate*. Th* postmaster ganaral replies thail any Inrraa** in parcel* post rates will ha playing Into the hand* of the express companies, while the postal employes rejoin that these rate* can h# In creaaed hy AO per cent and yat he helow th* express rata*. f It I* a matter for some regret that the dlscuaslon should take on thia aspect. People want Ih* poatal employes lo he well paid. It i* one of the unpleasant facia connected with our government that Its workers are as a rule paid lower rates than those in similar private employment. To be sure, this is compensated for In some degree hy allowances that private em ployers do not make, and by certainty of employment. On the other hand, the Poatolflce department is one for aervice first, and not for profit making. If it ran he made self-sustaining, so much the better, hut it is not fair to ask th* employes t.o make up any threat ened deficit by accepting low wages. The public will rather stand a little inrrease in rales, or a direct ap propriation for the purpose of allowing the men better pay. One of the points brought out hy the discussion is that while parcel* post provides 70 per cant of th* total mail matter handled, it only produce* 26 per cent of the revenue, or $160,000,000, Other claases nf mall, amounting to 20 per cent of th# total hulk, bring In 76 per cent of the revenue, or $460,000,000. Kxtension of the parcels post system is possible, a* well as th# alight inrrease In rates, and the added revenue ran be provided. Some form of bill Is certain to he passed hy the present session to increase the pay of the postal work er*. Whether it will he on the line* suggested by the postmaster general, or hy the aupporter* of the Kelly Kdge measure la not yat certain. What is certain I* that on* weaknesa of the postal system In the United State* la romtng out. BEATRICE GIRLS SHOW THE WAY, Graduation from tha high arhool la an event of Importance.

From the Detroit Tree Frees. Forecasts of the report which Is t« be matte by the Dawes rommlselnn ahow that the plan contemplates the return tn Germany of control mat the railroads, mines end mills of the Ruhr which. If the plan la adopted will he managed hy their owners, hut French and Belgian troops ara to r« main In the occupied territory. At the same time Germany will ba ex perted to bring taxation up lo a maximum of productiveness, and at ones begin reparations payment* at least on a. small at ale. These features of the Dewee plan fit logically together. Germany's capacity to pay must It* baaed to e very Urge extent upon the mining.

It inuet ha under tha management, of the men who made tha region what It Is. No sort of military control Imposed from abroad against the wishes and lnierests of the people ran l>a expected to taka their place, and aa long aa that kind of iontrol exists, Germany's ability to pay will remain below what. It ought to be. That was clearly foreseen when the Ruhr wee occupied, and predict Inna made then have been more than verified by experience. It la therefore to the Inteieef of France and Belgium to step aside wherever Germany shows an honeat disposition to go to work and pay up At tha asms lima German control of It* own Industries, subject to res annahla safeguard* for allied Inter ests, |g necessary because Germany cannot he required to produce tares and raps rat Inna payments out. of properly In the handa of a manage ment which Is not German. Foreign control of the Ruhr la In fact a standing excuse for nonpayment of German debit, while the withdrawal of < ontrol will put responsibility er ectly where It belongs. Once more In the Ruhr, tha German government will have a i hams tn prove Its goes) faith If It falls In that regard, then other measures ran Ire tried and Ihe presence of a few detachments of French troops In German territory will beg constant reminder that other measure* ere available, PiiMk Playground*.

He left a will in which he made certain trust provisions for his daughter. In the will he ap pointed four individuals to carry out these provisions. Mr. B's daughter is still living. But not one of the trustee* originally named i» serving today. One of these persons never qualified; a aeeond resigned; h third was removed; the fourth died a number of year* ago. Meantime the husband of Mr. B.’s daughter had been appointed as the trustee. A short time ago lie, t<K>, died. Following thK Mr. B.’s daughter, through her attor ney, applied to the court to have a trust company ai> pointed as trustee. The court granted this ap plication, and a tru«t coin pany is now niluiiinstering the fund. The advantages of a Irust rompany as executor and t mate© are emphasized by the history of this ease and the following words from the court record: Th* implication »»• baaed on th* daalra of all tha parents# interaat #d "to aeoid a repetition of tha •*p»naa. annoy anca. and ear# to which they l»*Ts 1**" auMaetad by tha unuaually cbaflttarad bla tory of thla troat #atata In Ha tblrty-aaven y*ar# of atlatanca.
