Writing In the Name of Hughes.
TEKAMAII, Neb., March 29 -To the Editor of The
Ree: I am heartily In accord with the suggestion of
Tha Pee, and many other republican newspaper cf
the state, that the republican favoring; the nomina
tion of Charles E. Hughes for the presidency writ
In hi name on tha blank line specially prepared for
that purpose on the hallot. but If the plan la to suc
ceed, The Ree and all other paper favoring the move
inuit at once start a campaign of education. Instruct
ing tha voter how to writ In the name, and what
naroo to write In.
I have Just finished tha reading of your editorial
on this subject In The Bee of thla date, and have
also read the article from numerous other tat
papers In the same Issue of The Bee, under the head
ing "How to Oct Hughes," and In none of the article
mentioned does the full nam of Justice Hughes
appear.
Now, the elector of the state of Nebraska can
nearly all read and write, thank to our educational
ystem, yet a very large per cent of them are poor
speller of family name. If Charles E. Hughe re
ceive more vote In Nebraska than any of the per
sons who are avowed candidates, and whose name
will he printed on the hallot, then the republicans
favoring htm must he educated how to spell the
name Hughes, and what hi full name Is.
If an elector write In the name Charles E. Hughea.
and another Charles E. Hues, and another Charle.i
E. Hew, and another not knowing the full given
name write the nam Justice Hughe, then three
of those elector have thrown their votea away anJ
have failed to express themeelve so that their votes
will ,be counted for their preference, Oharle E.
Hughe.
Would suggest that you consider the advisability of
using a rubber stamp for the purpose of getting the
name rliiht the rubber stamp and stamp pad to be
pasaed from one voter to another as they go to the
booth to cast their ballot.
The expense for the rubber stamp and inking; pad
could be easily met we Hughes men all carrying an
extra dollar In our pocket for the purpose of meet
lng necessary expense. '
Some might question the legality of tamping; the
name on the ballot, when the statute says write, but
I do not believe that any court would so consider It.
W
This remarkably lucid letter, which comes
from a friend who does not care to have his
came disclosed. Is one of a number received of
like tenor emphasizing the difficulty of getting
the voters to write In the name of Charles E.
Hughes correctly on the primary ballot so as to
make It count as their preference for president.
We realise the magnitude of the task and yet
we have such faith In the intelligence ot the re
publican voters of Nebraska that we feel sure
all that Is needed is instruction "how," and
that the voter, who undertakes to write in the
name, will do It right. We are altogether too
pione to dwell upon the "Ignorant voter," but
the average voter is not Ignorant when he knows
what he wants and Is told how to get it.
The suggestion of a rubber stamp or a paster
has come from more than one source, but we are
disposed to doubt Its availability. The Nebraska
election law plainly says "write In" and it is for
that purpose that the blank line is left under
each office heading, while the use of a rubber
stamp or a paster might be regarded as Intended
to circumvent the requirements of the law with
reference to filing and printing. On the other
hand, while the possibility of mistakes In spell
ing or abbreviating the name, or omitting the
cross from the square In front, Is ever present,
yet it should not be serious for the Intent of
the voter should govern the election officers
who count the ballot. The primary law. Itself,
expressly declares that It should be "liberally
construed" and we have a multitude of court de
cisions giving the benefit of the doubt to the
voter. Vice President Marshall has just taken
his name off the printed ballot, but If any Ne
braska democrat should write In the name
"Marshall" for vioe president, no one would
have any doubt aa to whom he referred nor
would there be any excuse for not counting the
ballot as intended. The same applies in our
opinion, to the republican ballot, for though the
safe thing is to write It out In full, "Charles E.
Hughes." still a ballot marked simply "Hughes"
would manifest the Intent Just as plainly and
should be so counted.
This discussion, however, is helpful for it is
bound to focus attention on the real point In
volved, namely, that it is tip to the individual
republican voter of Nebraska to make it known
that he wants Charles E. Hughes for president,
by writing In the name when he marks his bal
lot at the primary.
Doing- Away With a No.iia.nce.
The Board of Governors ot Ak-Sar-Ben, an
nouncing a determination to do away with the
use of confetti at future carnivals, will find they
have struck a popular chord. At any rate, they
have reached a wise decision, one that should
have been made long ago. The tossing of con
fetti in the course of carnival sport, was barm
less enough In Its original application, but It has
developed into a posltve nuisance in later years.
Instead of being the sportive exchange of a
handful of bits of colored and sometimes per
fumed paper, expressive of tbe mischievous mood
of the season, it was turned into a torment by
rowdies and unruly persons who took advantage
of the license of carnival time to abuse the con
fetti custom In many ways. The little bit of
money tsken In Is not enough to compensate
for the damage done. The suppression of gam
bling, at the request of The Bee, did not harm
the show last fall, and it will be found that the
confetti will be missed, but not regretted.

"Father and Son."
The "father and son" idea of the Young Men's
Christian association is bringing to the fore
a phase ot our social life that may be as serious
as the promoters of the get-together plan believe
It to be. If It la so that the demands of business
and the devotion to social affairs have destroyed
the Intimacy that should exist between father
and son, a remedy should be found. No man is
warranted In giving to his business attention
that properly should be given to his home, where
his chief business In life Is to be found. That
many boys are neglected, or not given careful
guidance, Is perhaps true. Each father should
answer this question for himself, and he should
be man enough to assume the responsibility that
l.i naturally his, and see to It that his son gets
enough of his society to at least provide the
guidance and counsel a father ran give better
than any other agency. "Father and son" should
Ik. a feature ot home life first of all.

"'Bid" la Amsrloaa SCaga-la.
Hl'NDREDS of thousands of men In this country
have an Idea that the government (city, county,
atate or national) Is wasteful and Inefficient.
Pin a lot of these men down, and you will find thai
they got that Idea from personal observation mad
when cal.ed to do Jury duty. That la about all they
know about the government but that la enough to
disgust them.
I was recently oalled a a special Juror on a case
here In New Tork. About seventy-five men were
oalled on the cse. Out of the seventy-five, twelve
were to be selected. That Is all right and necessary,
but when we seventy-five men gathered coming dis
tance ranging from a block to ten or fifteen mile
In the midst of a busy Monday morning it was dis
covered that the attorney for the defense was not In
court. He waa sent for, and when he appeared it
developed that he had not been notified that the cas j
was to be called. Ho and the Judge and the district
attorney agreed to an adjournment for a few days
and back we all went to our office, having wasted
from two to three hour apiece. Remember this, how
ver: Each of us mill get X3 for that day's Jury duty
although we did nothing. That make $150, to say
nothing of the time of the court and the officer and
the rest.
A few days later we gathered again seventy-five
men from all over New York City. Another adjourn
ment. More time wasted. One hundred and fifty
dollar more to be riven ue for no service to say
nothing of the money value of the time wasted by all
concerned.
There ws another beautiful little Irritation: The
clerk who called the roll sat at a desk fully thirty
feet from the first row of Jurors. He growled be
cause he could not hear u answer our names. DM
it occur to him that he might move forward to a
position where he could hear better? Of course not.
He ha the habit of doing things thua and so, and
probably nothing could Induce him to change. He
prefers to sit where he Is, shout hi own lungs out
and strain his ears. The whole performance was no
Illy that It waa mildly enjoyable. I think every man
In the room wa guilty of inward contempt of court
Consider this additional faot! When we In the Jury
panel come finally face to face with the defendant,
w shall very likely ee a poor, flat-headed, menta'ly
sick person, more in need of a doctor than he Is of
Sing Sing. Personally I hope he will turn out to he
a good, healthy, first-class, upstanding crook. Then
there may be some satisfaction In taking him In hand
Punishing sick folks Isn't much fun.
Twice Told Tales
While He Waited.
An excited looking man burst Into the doctor'
surgery, where several patient were watting.
"1 ssy, doctor," he began hurriedly, "I "
"Pardon me, sir," said the doctor coldly. "It is
not your turn."
"But "
"You must wait," said the man of medicine coldly,
a he conducted another patient into his consulting
room.
The caller took a seat near tne window and
waited for thirty minutes with obvious Impatience.
Then the doctor, having dismissed all his waiting
patients, turned to him condescendingly:
"Now, my man, your turn ha come. What can
I do for you?"
"Oh, nothing special!" was the calm reply. "I
only called in to tell you that Farmer James" three

The Troahl In Mexico.
BEATRICE, Neb., March SO.-To the
Editor of The Bee: I mould like to
answer Mr. Pope's letter which appeared
in Monday' paper about our causeless
war with Mexico. In the first place ws
are not at war with Mexico, a he stated;
we are aimply running to cover eome
murderoue bandits with the Mexican gov
ernment' permission. If we were at war
with Mexico we would have to fight gov
ernment troops.
He also stated that If we were to kill
seventeen Mexicans It would not bring
our seventeen Ameriesns back who
were killed at Columbus. No! Tht la
true, too, but it will prevent a recur
rence of the murderous act. If we were
to chase Villa Just acroaa the border It
would not be a week before he would
again cross the border and do the same
thing again. If Mr. Pope think this
would not have happened had we not
went across the border, I don't see the
reason why, because It Isn't the first
time Aonerlcana have been killed on
American soil. The only mistake we made
waa putting It off a long a we did.
Haven't they been killing Americana for
the last four yearn or more? Isn't the
government of the United Btate up
posed to protect Its cltixen In another
country? I wonder what our friend, Mr.
Pope would ay were he living In New
Mexico, and had seen the acta of murder
being committed at hla door for the last
four year and without the least possi
bility of it coming to a close. I think he
would take a different look at the situa
tion. We hope he will change his mind
before long. EARNEST LANODALE.
Why Not Split with the JoAaret
OMAHA. March 30. To the Editor of
The Bee: I am much interested in your
expose of the fee grabbing grafter In
our million dollar county court house.
It would seem to me If the naturalisa
tion fee are to be grafted there should
be a "fifty-fifty" split on the half that
our T'nele Samuel doea not aet. The
district Judge who hear and decide these
naturalization caaea In all fairness is
entitled to a cut up. The Judge has his
regular docket of case and the final
hearing of these naturalisation caaes
are really extra work for him and hla
salary from the state I 11,000 per annum
leas than that received by the court
clerk, who brazenly pockets all the
foe not to be remitted to the government,
and the honorable court Is left to "hold
the sack."
If the court clerk Is to retain thesa
fees he should hire a room in sn office
building and conduct his naturalization
work outalde of the court house, and
without the assistance of county em
ployes, or the use of county furniture,
stationary, etc. "Deacon Bob" should be
fair with the court and not hog it all.

color, that beautiful dark shade of hair
which 1 so attractive, use only thl old
time recipe.
