Pres rott K. Hall recalls Goblneau's asser tion, that "America Is likely to be, not the cradle of a new, hut the grave of an old, race," In attempting to picture "The Future of American Ideals." Herbert Croly, In his book, "The Promise of American Life," says: From the point of view of nn Immigrant this promise may consist of tho anticipa tion of a better future, which he eim share merely hy tsklnif up hla reahlence on American coll: hut once ho has hecome an American, the proinlee enti no lonarr remain merely an antlrlpatlon.

When we realize that today leas thitn one-half of our people arc de scendants of tho original atock of ear)y settlers, we can appreciate the meaning of this tnsk and the won derful opportun'tles It sets before us. tiering In the wilderness of literature for I lie historic period of forty years he Is able to bring to the licld of frenzied finance the trained genius of a scientist and man of letters com bined, yet with results which suggest tho wisdom of the combination. Maybe It will yet appear to the author-promoter Hint the allurement which held hlra for forty years was not the slreti voice, after all. As to Alternates. ' The question Is raised how, under the Nebraska primary law, tho alter nate delegates to tho respective nom inating conventions are to be chosen. The difficulty arises from the fact that the law as framed and enacted completely . Ignores the practice of providing alternates to tako the place of delegates in the case of sickness, absence or Inability to serve, and thus threatens to deprive tho state of tho full representation to which It Is entitled In the several conven tions. This, to bo sure, is only one of the crudities of our primary law, but the real question Is, What are we going to do about it The editor of The Bee has suggested, and here renews Preserving original American Ideals ; the suggestion, that the alternates be dent expectation being that It will encounter serious opposition, litre In Omaha submission was ordered on a petition procured by The Itee, con taining over 6,000 names, and the plan was adopted almost without dissent.

The best time for such weather as this Is on Hallowe'en night.' - Street car traffic on the base ball lines has not been extremely heavy of late. N Now, aren't you sorry you, kicked on that beautiful 100-in-the-shado weather? .These late .winds evidently-were not the ones the Master rebukod for His disciples. Senator La Follette mtesed his train and Champ Clark Is riding the blind baggage. 'What are Messrs. Folk and Clark trying to land in this fake race for the presidency? At any rate, President Taft Is one candidate for the presidency not afraid to admit It. and traditions involves no smug claim o soperiorlty for those who mado up our original stock, nor a disparagement of the races that have been poured Into the crucible of ritlxen-maklng since. America has derived the elements of strength from these streams of new people, themselves Imbued with vim and Vrr- tue of certain national Ideals, but however good, yet not American, and therefore our task of fusing these Into our Ideals Is nonetheless large. America owes It to Its adopted children, quite as much as to Its na tive eons, to live out those Ideals and make good Its promise to the world. And this cannot be done by rhapso dies upon our noble past, nor even with extravagant descriptions of our glorious future, but rather, as Croly says, "What we Americans have to do In order to fulfill our national promise Is to keep up the good work to continue, resolutely and cheer fully along the appointed path." For however good the Ideals of some of the nations from which America has drawn splendid manhood, they can not be made Into American Ideals, and American Ideals must not be lost In them.. Our nationality, Its detnoc racy, nv it be kept distinctive If America is to be the land of promise and, If the American life Is to be what It was Intended at the first to become. . Dut all this cannot be achieved by accident. Americans must appreci ate keenly enough the personal side of the 'responsibility . to set them selves to finding out more clearly what kind of behavior Is expected of tbera before the permanency of the Ideal Is assured. Moral: When caughT with the goods, do your own Investigating, and be sure of a vindication.

Robert lip Mara. This facetious bit of unmasked truth about human nature Is the foreword of a little volume written by J. F. Kyan of Chicago as the sup posed comment or a visitor from Mars upon conditions on the earth. He discourses upon many phases of politics and economy, but sounds the keynote in this observation. It la an apt expression of a very bland truth, though, of course, tho author could hardly have been trust ing enough to count on changing many minds with It, for those minds tot already In accord with his view are generally too well content with their own delusions to find an excuse for change. When that day comes mat me gentleman on the rear of the car need no longer ding his gong or pull the register to proclaim the arrival of a nickel we may also throw away our cash registers, time clocks and safe combinations and our other mechanical devices for compelling men to do what 99 out of 100 probably 999 out of 1,000 would do without being watched or checked. "The Philosophical society advo " cates nothing," says Chief Phlloso- pher Laurie J. Qulnby. That man will be put out of the amen row If he is not careful. i Official circles in Germany express surprise at the rash' statements made by our Renator Hitchcock in his ; speech on the peace treaties, t he .real trouble Is that the German offi cials do not know our Senator Hltch-iiock. chosen In the same manner, and at the same time and place, as the dele gates, and that this be done by filing the names of the candidates for alter nates with tho secretary of state to go on the official ballot the same as the names of candidates for dele gates. N It will bo urged that there is no law authorizing tho secretary of state to insert these names, but neither la there any law to prevent It, especially If the plan Is acquiesced In and pursued by ail parties without closing the door upon any entitled to equal treatment. The primary law, for example, provides for only four delegates-at-Iarge, when It is quite conceivable that tho convention call of some party might give Nebraska ten delegatcs-at-large. In that case, would not the party have a right to have its official primary ballot made up with places for ten delegates, or would It have to forego Jts proper representation In national convention simply because of a defect In our law? We submit that under such condition the secretary of state would not only be warranted, but In duty bound, to make up the ballot so that the complete complement of delegates for Nebraska could be reg ularly chosen. The analogy with the alternates strikes us as on air fours. By the republican and democratic calls, Ne braska will be entitled to be rep resented by sixteen delegates and sixteen alternates In each conventlpn. and under the socialist, prohibition or populist calls It may be entitled to the same number, or more, 6i less, but whatever the apportionment may he under the call of any. political party, the primary law should be so construed as to facilitate the selec tion of Nebraska's representatives by direct vote of the rank and file of the respective party, and not to Impede or prevent their selection. If the secretary of state will put this con structlon on the law the question of alternates be solved forthwith Labor and Industry Commission. It Is not necessary to admit the breakdown of our Industrial machin ery to see the feasibility of a federal labor and Industry commission, whose duty it shall lie to seek to es tablish better relations between the employe and employer, for one thing. Miss Jane Addams, Rabbi Wise, Messrs. Lyman Abbott, Louis Bran dels and others, who petitioned Pres ident Taft upon the formation of such a body, need not have gone to the extent, we think, of charging that the "Industrial machinery" of the country had broken down to Justify their appeal. It is good enough to stand alone. When w e come to ' view the fact full In the face do we not find that Instead of our Industrial machinery being broken down It Is only being assembled and set up? How old are employers' liability laws and safety appliance and device acts and plans for arbitrating labor disputes and similar systems for getting at a bet ter understanding aud working rela tion between capital and labor? They are only In their inclplency, so far as general installation or experiment Is concerned. And already some excel lent results have been accomplished So that, admit the need of the federal commission to be ever so urgent, it seems to us to weaken the argument to hold to the breakdown claim. Possibly such a commission Is the very thing. Of course, that The Bee's Junior birthday book made such a hit with, the little ones that we have had many expressions of regret over Its discontinuance with the outgoing year. We are glad to know how popular this feature had become, but to keep It up In con secutive years would be merely repro ducing the same names in their turn. In the meantime, we are offering a new feature, "The Bee's Wedding Book," which should likewise Inter est young and old alike by recalling marriage anniversaries day by day as they roll around.

God broke our years to hours and day, i hai hour by hour And Uuy by day Just KOinR on a little way, We tnlKht he able all along To keep unite strona; Should all the weight of life lie laid across our shoulders, and the fu ture, rife With woe and struggle, meet us face to face At Just cne place; We could not ko; Our feet would stop, and so God lays a little on us every day And never, I believe, on all the way Will burdens bear so deep. Our pathways lie so threatened and so steep. But we can go if by Clod's power We only bear the burden of the hour. Y
