The "battle of the machine shops" seems to be extending to the machine tenders, themsalvee. In Wales the coal miners have defied the gov ernment, armed with tha terror tt the new munitions act and Its mot unusual and drastic penalties, and have forced a settlement on terms of advantage to the man, Dissatisfied work men at Fssen threaten to tie up operations of the great Krnpp plant, while striking machinists may shut down the Remington Arms plant at Eridgeport, and the Standard OH men at jtay onne will check ocean shipments of oil from that base through their strike. This state of affairs supports the belief that human nature U much the same, n hatter whether the man la Is the trenches or In the shops. All of this Industrial unrest Is eccasloned primarily by demands of the workmen for a share of the increased profits due to war ac tivity, the plant owners being unwilling to dlvid (with them. It may be aggravated to soma de gree by agitation from outside influences, as has been charged, but this Is not tha principal factor. A year ago It was confidently asserted that war wss Impossible, because the working mea would not Join the armies. When war was declared, socialistic organisations fell to pieces, tha taunted "brotherhood of man" was forgot ten, and the worklngmen took their place In tha ranks of the fighting forces with Utile or no delay. In Great Uritaln It has been found neres ary to bring bark from the firing line akllledN workmen la order that needed shop operations may be carried oft, while Germany has handled the matter with Its customary eye to "efficiency." Tha fact of tha matter is, the worklngmaa In war time, is as willing to fight aa any, and quite a eager to fight for a share in the spoils of war.

Why hot be perfectly frank about It, and admit that the one-term plank, and particularly the last sentence of it, which reads, "and we i.ledga the candidate of this convention to this principle," is, and was, at the time, Intended to te "pure bunk." This plank of the democratic platform waa lnaerted to take advantage of the tentttuent that had been worked up against a third term Involved in tba ambitions of another candidate, and at the same lima so drawn as not to commit the nominee to anything. In other words, It was a plank inserted to fool the people- plank td get in on, but not to stand cn. It was a bid for totes In tha election to be forgotten after election, but no more so than several other plunk In the earn platform, of which the most audacious of all la the declara tion ia tha concluding paragraph, which reads!

Chajioa fr Conssrration. . ? Lumbermen from the horlhwest have been telling some hard luck tales' to the federal trad commission at Chicago, the most interest' ir g one' of all being that the sawmill men of Oregon and Washington stand to lose 112,000,- 000 and interest on their lnveotment for the cur rent year. Tbia Is largely due to the fact that men who have purchased the timber on govern ment land are Cutting and selling lumber at a rat that mean a lose to those who Own and work their own timber lands. Here is a matter that ought to have some immediate attention. If what these sawmill owners say la true, the government has sold off Its timber too cheaply. and a better prlcv should be obtained. If tha stories fc.ro not true, some other agc-hcy 14 re eponBlble for the loss the lumbermen are endur ing and it should be discovered and the remedy applied. Such an important Industry, located so favorably for reaching the msrkets of the world, should not b in such languishing condition. Humanity and Immorality. One of the women delegate to the "purity" conference at San Francisco has spoken so plainly on ber topic that she may startle those who &r uninformed te to actually existing conditions, though she gives no Information to those who bare made a scientific study of the subject. Frailties of the flesh are "hot confined to any particular class, and do not spring from any one cause. Nor has it been well established that a large percentage of either men or women are perpetually traylng( along f"lha prittirosa path of dalliance." Environment may tend to en hance temptation, but morality Is a personal quality, and often persists under circumstances that some consider hopeless. Much of silly exaggeration on this question of morals has been heard from "uplifters," who allow their Imagination to supply the gaps In their knowledge. Great classes of men and women have been gratuitously slandered by theorists over zealous to support w hst they deem a righteous cause. Careful Inquiry, by com petent research workers, ha disproved these sweeping accusations. The renditions outlined by the speaker at San Francisco serve only to show what slow progress humtinlty really makes In (his directiona Slowness due Hot to lack of Instruction or exportation, but to the lunate tharacter of the human being. Consolidation bringing with It Omaha rule and regulations Is eliminating the free lunches formerly .furnished by South Omaha thtret quenrheries. That's the most flagrant outrage of all. although It is doubtful whether it will work greater hardship on the proprietors or on tbelr patrons. .

The preliminary "unofficial" conferences which are bo htl tinder ths direct primary from Neer York to the Pacl'ld cnaat by all parties are the direct dcecem'Hnta of the fjarrel and subterranean ealhar Inss Of both the earlier and Uis later ferl d of populnf government In America. And the Instinct cannot be stifled. It should rather be legalised and made re sponsible and open: ollierwlee a secret cabal, wliethef benevolent or malevolent, ta sura to flourish and be a continuing source af IrrtUUon in a democracy. Governor Hushes met this problem squarely while he was ths executive In New York. Its proposed, as an essential tart of the democracy of his direct pri mary plan, that representative state leaders, freely chosen by voters In the local assembly districts, snd without powet lesally to perpetuate themselves, should In the. moat ooen manner and with the moat eareful lrfcal restriction, make the Initial suggestions tt state candidate for office. Hut the final doterml na tion upon these sugteattohs aiid upon all other sug gestlon which mtuht likewise be freely made by petition, should lie with tha whole body of enrolled voters in ch party on primary any. with this open and responsible and legalized leadership at the totv through a popularly elected commutes or a popularly elected stats convention, and with the tewa meeting re-established everywhere at the bottom, 'the direct primary would fulfill Ibe needs of both representative and direct democracy far better than H does at present. The direct primary at preaent drives leader ship to eover, and m-ikea no place for those splendid mas ratherlnr and discussions In the small units of the nation which formerly cleared the air and Informed and trained the electorate, not only In New England, but in many other parts of the country. U Is from the asms standpoint that the recall, e li re pt within narrow limits, ta unsound and even vicious in principle. It Is a blow tt calm and delib erate and dignified and continuous leadership of a kind which democracy greatly tteedS. Aa conditions are in America, most men of real ability and power Shun public office and a publio career a they would a pestilence.' If you add td the difficulty of bringing such men to the front under a threatening and dead ening machine System, the further threat of populef misunderstanding and disapproval before they hava time to show what, Is 'in them, we Shall never gt t efficient leadership at all. Ueforo we begin to talk, milch of the recall In tha United Plates we must make it worth while for men of weight and will even to listen to the call. The recall s two-mlged sword. And It may. harm far more thart It help. Even In city government, those who have Studied tho psychology of opposition t' a HeW administration know that lit the course of tha ' usual four-year tertrt of the mayor, for example, tha antagonisms, both ratloim! and Irrational, lump themselves at about the two-year period, just when the recall under tha law Is usually made operative, If the mayor of a city Is to be recalled at all he should have a six-year term, and the recall should be spplled at the three-year period. .. And to talk about the recall of Judges Is te begin st the wrong end of a much needed reform. Tho Judk Isry Is not woll adapted to the prevailing elective system. Men of the Hi; hi temperament to be Judges are net Usually not kond campaigner. In the paat their nomination and eectlon have frequently been looked after for them: that IS, they have been machlne-mada br corpnration-ihade, or both. We have got many good Judge In this way, but It 1 a bat way. Tho nonpartisan direct election of Judge I a very little better." Partly because the voters do Hot get their eye upon the Judges as they do upon the governor, and parity because tha better campaigner has the better chance. Inferior Judicial demagogue are likely te Slip In. And yet the people ought to have final control over (heir judges, a over every other policy-determining officer, And Judges In America are certainly polky-detetnulhing officers In a good many public eases. These experiences and reflections sr leading the minds of many thoughtful persons in the country towards a sami-appolntlve Judiciary for the common wraiths, by which the governor, the natural and ro sponsible leader of pUblle opinion, who U coming te be held more Strictly to account by tho people than any other public o'fk-er Irt the state, shall first recommend persons for tha higher Judgeship. Their names shall go upon the ballot with the words after them: "Hecommendad by the Governor." In tha am group shall b any ether nahtes suggested by a uffli'leniiy large hum! er or petitioner. And on eleo tlon day ths people Shalt rhooae between them. Here you have ths element of responsible leadership under tha final control of lhe people themselves. If this does not correct Certain vtl of our Judicial system, w shall then be obliged te give the peopla more direct final control over Judicial lawmaking Itself, or else lie driven to the practice of all Qher civilised nation. of separating entirely the function of Judicial law making from lb I u net on of adjudication. To summarlts the substance of our exrerienea with direct democracy, there need be no essential anta onlsm anywhere betwocn leadership- and Popular rule, between representative government and direct democ racy. Tha twa ought everywhere In our grovcrnmenUi srat-m td be romiilemvnU of one another. Por prac tical and pressing considerations, and under the present condlibms of our politics, direct democracy should lend Itiwlf to the development and strengthen ing and the final control of leadership, and not te confusion and rhaoe.

BILVEB CR.KEK, Neb., July 17. To the Editor of The Bee: It is a false cry that the country Is unanimous In Its support bf the president In his controversy with th government of Germany. It Is true tli at about all that I being aald, as we may Rather from the newspapers, ts by Wsy of sustaining his position; but this Is largely, if not chiefly, by reason of the fallacious doctrine that patriotism de mands that ih an Issue, of this kind the president, whether right or wrong, should be Sustained by all good cltitens. For k Similar reseon others who do not agree With the president seem to be cowed Into sllenne. It We Were actually at war Of Course we Woiild all be with tha commander-in-chief of the army and havy, but as good cltlsens ws ought not td sus tain him in a course that would logically force us Into ah unjustifiable war. Hut In private conversation 1 have neve yet been able to find a man who thought the president was right, either as to his so-called "policy" In Mesloo or In Europe. President Wilson's contention that Inter national law which would permit ua the freedom of tho high seas, even In thoao parts declared "war sones" by the bel ligerents, and to trade freely with bellig erent countries In things heretofore con sidered noncontraband of war. should be strictly adhered to, Is absurd. Those rule of international law were not made with reference to condition similar to those now esistlng; they cannot properly be mad to square With present condition, and hbuld therefore be Ignored and our course determined by the real ethics of the situation as It now presents Itself. Taking that view; of It England has a perfect right to starve Oermaby if It can, and Germany ait equally good right to use her submarines to destroy British commefve and isolate England If It can. Our policy thert should be to keep away and let them fight tt out. When the lives of great empires are trembling In the balance It la ridiculous that they should be asked to jeopardise their Interests In order that wa might make, some dollar In trade, or that one of our millionaire Should have tha pleasure of visiting some European watering place. But If International law la to be in lated on, why ahould England ba allowed to escaiis? Ejitland was the first ka gremtor, and It IS her work that ha par alysed American commerce. Why doe toot Wilson bring England to book? But Wilson ha put his band to the plow and hS cahriot now turn back. Let him tlow aehj an ultimatum to Germany. Germany will again turn him down, and Hum it will be In order tor htm to con vene congers and order congress to de clare War sgalnat Germany.
