A thorough wbeyllng of tbe Kurds la long overdue. In the rare for the eugenic marriage fee tbe doctors threaten to outpace the knot-tiers to the money. Next to the war supply factories of this country, the personal injury departments of the courts are putting out the Juiciest of dividends. Rev. Hilly Sunday 1 now signed up until the fall of 1917, which puts New York still eighteen months out of the running for tbe sal vation pennant. The government bureau evidently had Its periscope trained on forty legislatures In a state of eruption when it gave pitiless publicity to the great wasto of natural gas going on In this coun try. British labor la fairly entitled to a moderate slice of the war pudding. Labor furnishes the larger part of the cannon fodder. Its reward usually consists of the crumbs contractors brush islde. i An octagonal verdict against motor vehicle vwners for personal Injuries emphasizes the fact that more c&re and lass speed drives a vehicle to its destination with less risk to life, limb or cash. It is a poor bill that doesn't bring some grist to the Lincoln' mills. Grain men have received the usual call to visit the state capltol and ob serve how the servants of "the plain people" prod nerve centers. , " The ravages of successive foraging armies in Mexico leave no room for doubting the state ment of a clean sweep. As General Sheridan said of the Shenandoah valley fifty odd years ago, migrating birds In Mexico must carry (heir rations on tbe wing. Even though the opponents of railroad rate raising may not boost their side by the produc tion of managerial correspondence, at least they will have the felicity of reading as fine a line cf Inside, railroad literature as ever .smote thi ribbons of a typewriter. . . What is everybody's business goes without the doing. For that reason the law prohibiting vehicles driving by street cars receiving or dis charging passengers Is a dead letter In the greater part of the city, through the Inability of traffic officers to cover the territory. "Society should look upon prisons as placet of education and not of punishment." The tip bears the label of Warden Osborne of New York.

The most interesting political spectacle at present In this country in that of the democrats scurrying about, looking for some place of con cealment In which to hide from the wrath of the voters. They are throwing up verbal dust In every direction, set king to cover their flight, leaving a trail that a blind man might follow. From the president down, the leaders of the party are apologizing for the mistakes made, and are trying to shift the blame for their blunders onto the victims of their shortsighted or destructive policies. Lambasting Wsll street or booing at the wsv god will not In any way alter the fact that the depression of business in this country began with the incoming of the present administration. President Wilson and his party set about at once, on coming to power, to change tbe foundations of American commerce and industry, and they have succeeded so well that the superstructure has been almost as corapletey wrecked as was the underpinning, which wss removed entirely. If any semblance of prosperity remains. It Is in spite, and not because, of the activity of the democrats ia congress. Little need now exists to worry over some body "rocking the boat." The boat wss swamped when the democrats overloaded It with their un tested theories of government. . Americanism Ideal and Individual. In her lecture Mary AntUi reproved Amer icans mildly for not living up to the highest con ception of American citizenship. From her standpoint she Is, perhaps, justified in thlnkln that as a people we have fsllen short of the best In our collective citizenship; fortunately, her no tion of Americanism is based on an ideal that comprehends only the most lofty of patriotism, with tbe sacrifice of self and the abnegation es sential to an effort to realize the unattainable. As a matter of fact, true Americanism Is founded on a lofty Ideal and a broad concept cf human rlghta and human responsibility. But In this the individual Is Involved to an extent that Is not always understood by those who have studied our ways and our manners from the viewpoint of the European. Instead of the state being the center of all thought and the goal of all activity, It Is the individual, and at no time or in no other country has the individual been brought to a higher point of development, nor made more secure In the exercise of his natural rights, than in America. It la this apotheosis of the individual that gives to our foreign-horn critics color for their views, but if they will but dig a little deeper they. will find that along with this great gift of freedom has come a deeper sense of responsibil ity, and that underlying tbe American propen sity for asserting each his own freedom is an equally firmly rooted regard for his neighbor's similar right. So, the truest Americanism is expressed in that liberty that secures to each In dividual the fullest measure of opportunity anl privilege, consistent with law and . order. Jn time this liberty will be so refined that it will approximate at least the highest concept of human destiny. - Why it a Democratic Platform? Once more we are called on to contemplate the probable answer to a puxxle that In aome ways Ties with the fourth dimension ts a chal lenge to abstruse Investigation. Why ia a demo cratic platform T Just now tbe leaders of the unterrlfled forces la the legislature are repudi ating one of the broadest and thickest planks of the Nebraska democrats declaration of pur poses and intentions. In this they have eminent precedent, for both the president and his secre tary of state have found It expedient since the adjournment of the Baltimore convention to dis own declarations of that gathering. Now and then the platform or the party Is reversible In Us action, however, and becomes binding for what It does not contain. This has served the president on one or two notable oc casions, for It enabled him to discreetly dodge some pressing issues, because they were not definitely covered by tbe Baltimore document. In the Nebraska instance it Is set up, and we abudder to think it may be so, that the plank was slipped into tbe platform at the twilight hour, when the watchmen in the tower were taking a siesta or its local equivalent, and thai the "rank and file" had not been consulted in regard to the proceeding. The "rank and file' is not so much inter ested any longer In what the platform of tbe democratic party contains, or how It got there. The main question is. How far will the promises of that Interesting party be carried out, In event of Its being placed In power? Warship on a Business Minion. Another American warship is to be sent to Mexico, but this time on a mission that will as tonish the world by its novelty. Ordinarily a man-of-war sails out to threaten or to protect by He armament this one goes to carry the money needed to keep alive an industry. Americans are always glad to see their navy In action, and will get . especial satisfaction from the present use of this vessel. The example may be lost on tbe Mexicans for the present, but in time they may come to realize and appreciate the spirit that is back of the move. At any rate, the sail ing of a warship on each a mission Is In fine con trast to the uses Just now being made of navies by the European powers. An interesting war-time joy ride la spring ing out of Madame Rosika Schwtmuier'a peace crusade among tbe women of America. A "peace ship" is to he engaged to carry hundreds of American women to a woman 'a peace conference at The Hague, April 27. The only obstacle to the-fulfillment of this charming peace plan ia 1 150,000 to hire the ship. If peace could be guaranteed for the money, it would be forthcom ing quickly. Vice President Marshall ia pouring out words of critical soberpess in California. Doubtless the Callfornlans need the call-down. But It locks rather queer to carry the meaaage to the Pat ifl o coaat and leave the Hooaiers wallowing la a political morass without compass or vocal guide. . sjsssjsBsasasaBBSBasaBMsaHBjsaBwsHKssavi With personal experience becking his Judg ment, W. Morgan Ehuster warned bis fellow Americans that Persia was a good place to stay away from. Unfortunately some Ameri cans examine gar leaks with a lighted match The Political Caldron SEVENTY-THREE varieties of handshaking are be ing Introduced throughout the city at this particu lar time, one variety for each of the candidates for the city commleaion. This physical expreaaMn of optimism and rood will will continue until the evening of April . after which daU there will be only fourteen varieties observable, with the unclothed optic. This pre-election predlllctlon Is part of the political game and has been so for centuries. It has ben rsssed by the National Board of Censors. Propinquity of hands means, "Will you vote for me?" Candidates are not alike In this manner of greeting; the voters. Home of tho candidates have been down to the post office to ret lessons from Postmaster 1. C. Wharton In the gentle art of shaking hand with finesso and effectiveness. Sir. Wharton Is regarded as a past master In this art. Congressman C. O. Lobe la an other exmplar of this ancient and honorable art. Just by way of example. It Is Interesting to note how some of the candidates are grasping their con atltuenta by the digital appendages. There are plegmatlo and enthusiastic handshakers among the seventy-threo now In this handshaking Marathon. Borne remark upon tho salubrlouaness of the day, although the skies may be weeping. Others supplement their handshakea by making a frank appeaJ for votes, declaring they need every vote, although they are confident of nomination. It ts a season of merry handshaking, of felicita tions and of hard work. Soldiers of the legion, these men who are In the battle of the ballots. And when ths sun shall sink behind the western hills on the evening of April . there will be fifty-nine of the seventy-three who will wonder what became of the handshakes of yesterday. They wfll read the returns with pallid faces and pulsating brows. Let the handshaking go on. It Is a nice way to get acquainted. It brings men Into closer relations and is good exercises. It is recommended by the physical culture experts. It strengthens the muscles and stimulates tho blood circulation. Our municipal rolltlrs is now supposed to be wholly nonpartisan, but hero comes the spokesman of the socialist group insisting that It Is a party contest that not the men but the labels they wear count that only two partlea are In the game, the party of the masses and tho party of the dassea. Read what Brother Shafer says over his own namel "There are two principles of government represented In the coming- election for 'city com missioners, and only two. One principle 1st to do the will of organised business without any concern for the masses. The other prlnelplo ts: to give th masses the first and only consideration. In the con duct of city affairs. Each of these Is ably cham pioned by an organisation a party. The party now In control of the city affairs should be kept In con ' trol If big business Is to continue to have tho right-of-way. "Tne socialist party Is the only organization to day that supports the old fogy principle that thla la a government for the people. Fifty or sixty Individual candidates sre seeking election on per sonalities not principles. Some of them have hobbles or pet reforms. Most of them admit they sre. simply Job hunters. All but the Dahlman party ' and the socialist party candidates are self-appointed and should be viewed with suspicion. .A "good man" before election becomes a bad man after lection, In spite of himself. A socialist In office Is held to a straight course by his party, which has both the power and wisdom to direct his actions. The socialist In office Is held to a straight course by his party, which has both ths power and wisdom to direct his actions. The socialist candi dates personally axe as good aa any and aa able, but their claim to the support of the common , people Is based on the absolute certainty that, if elected, every act of theirs will be towards one and the same end the welfare of the masses. ;' Votors are cautioned against candidates claiming to he socialists who ere not the regular nominees of the socialist party." . . If It Is really a party contest, the socialists and the Dahlmanltea are not to be left without other claimants. Borne tried and true republicans think this ts a, time to get . back to .-basks foundations and their view is expreased by M.- J. Qreevy, who has written the following and asks Its publication: "tlnce the newspapers quoted rmt as statins I would cast my vote for seven clean cut up-to-date, republicans at the commission form of government primary to be held tn April, I have toeen over whelmed with favorable comments from the rank end file of our party In Omaha. "Forty-one republicans, twenty-three democrats, seven socialists, one Independent and one pro hibitionist, a total of seventy-three men have filed' their namea aa candidates. "Let ua be honest with ourselves and support only those of our own party affiliation. We need no Billy Sunday to revive the awakening of the re publican party in Omaha. Thro years of thla so railed nonpartisan farce seems to have solldlflod the followers of our grand old party to the old a time principle that the majority should rule. "Wo, however, cannot each vote for the forty one republicans who have submitted their names, much as we would like to. We are limited and wisely too. to vote for only seven. Let us get to gether and select seven men who have a city wide acquaintance, support them,' snd kindly ask those who do not come up to thla standard to eliminate themselves, for, 'the survivest of tho fittest. "Next year is presidential year. All signs In dicate the return of the national rspublican party to power. Federal trade commissions . are being appointed to ascertain why millions of wage earn ers are Idle throughout this' broad land. The people themselves will solve that question in 19K and will solva It right. The metropolis of Nebraska should redeem itself and be tn the vanguard in thla reclamation of the majority's rights. "Republicans should remember that none but the minority ever preaches, nonpartisanshlp. They need votes from the majority and sometimes get them' from the weak minded people in tne majority's ranks. It is time to call a halt; tlt.s to claim what la ours by might of numbers; time for ua to remember that we had to register our party af . filiation under a solemn oath; time for us te re member that with over ,J0 majority over the ' democracy In tho city of Omaha on the registration books, tbe control of the city government of Omaha la ours for the asking. "Cut out thla nonpartisan bunk.' Stand by the grand old national republican party of the United , States of America, whose traditions and lofty principles are as Imperishable as the bright stars In our flag." . , Evidently the last word was not tittered when the commission plan law banished political pantos from our city elections , Twice Told Tale3 Oorreetlr Wrtttoa. Jones was given a census blsnk to rill in. and under the heading "Age of father If living" he wrote "10&." while under ths heading "Age of mother If liv ing" he wrote "KK.' t Look here." exclaimed the clerk when Jones sub mitted the blank, "Isn't there some mistake about this?" "No. sir," was the positive response of the other. "Every bit of It la correct" "Do you mean to tell ma, demanded tbe amased clerk, "that your parents are 10S and 10 years old? "I hain't got no parenta." answered Jonas, "but they would have beea that old If living." Chicago Post. e Blaka io4 Lack.

But It's at least S to E that nothing of the kind will hap pen. Baltimore "American: The government la sustaining tho officer In the west who criticised a local court for sentencing a prisoner to the army. Public opinion will side with the government on this point. If the army Is to retain the respect and confidence of the nation. Its personnel is right In resenting the view of It as a dumping ground for criminals and the worthless. Pittsburgh Dispatch: The Germans de. clare that they will burn three villages for one burnt by Cossacks; and the Cos sacks cheerfully prepare to burn nine for every three destroyed by the Germans. The amity of the destruction Is height ened by the fact that the Inhabitants of the villages are all Poles, who will look on the flames snd admire the progress of civilization. v New Tork World: A witness in the In dianapolis election cases testifies that one of the "workers" told hlra he hsd "got It fixed with Judge Anderson." Governor Whitman, when district attorney, was once Interested by similar testimony con corntng a man he had never heard of un til then. When a low-down criminal do ing a mean trick says he has "everything fixed" with some official of high repute, the chance that he Is lying approaches so pesr 109 per cent that the difference trails Into infinitesimals. People and Events For delicacy of touch and pardonable gaiety the French censor has 'em all going- His method of doing business with a Paris editor over the telephone is In this form: "It would be very nice of you, monsieur, to suppress these few lines. I ask you aa a personal favor." If the editor wants to know what will hap pen If he refuses he gets this gracious answer: "If you refuse I shall be obliged, to ray deepest mortification, to Interrupt your publication." Who could resist such an appeal? . . Brethrea of the cloth In Boston are not a 'unit on bringing BlUy Sunday to town. Far from It At a recent meeting of the ministers a lively protest was , entered sgalnst the "steam roller" methods of the former meeting which decided to in vite Sunday. "Don'V be a sorehead," yelled one brother to the speaker for the opposition. "I'd rather be a sorehead than a fathead." shot "back the sneak ing pastor. Finally peace brooded over the meeting and the orethrea adjourned with this thought working In the right spot: "What we. can't accomplish by high-brow methods Sunday can." Bo Boston Is booked for salvation. . The havoc wrought by war on Trans atlantic traffic la enormous. RhinnW t statistics compiled by the New Tork Jour nal of Commerce ahow a net loss of sxt.. 000 passengers brought to American and Canadian ports tn the first seven months or war. compared with the same period ef a year ago, and a loss of 1S1.000 in out. going pasaengera. An uncommon feature or ine business at the present time la that during February last the number of outgoing steerage passengers exceeded by t.G00 the number landed en these shores. Secretary Redfleld drove a few polished barbs, Into the cuticle of Department of Commerce clerks who complained that they had been asked to de work beneath the dignity of thlr positions. "I do not know." said the secretary, "what tho kind of work can be which la beneath any mas' position.
