Get it right and write It In "Cliarlc i:. llught" and don't forget the irross In the s'.uare. Start practicing up writing tbe name of Cbarlea B. Hughes and don't forget tbe cross in tbe square. If it ia such "a little one," "Bob," why ftgui so hard to keep it, knowing it docs not 1.1 ncstly belong to you? Congressional free seeds bave not had time to put on tbelr primary blooms, but the favored ones are expected to vote as they plant. "Hens are going up," according to a news item. A newly planted neighbor's garden la an Irresistible temptation to jump the fence.

Coal barons wbo are seeking rest from tbe exhausting labors of the winter temporarily avert dangerous overcrowding. Tbe preliminary report of the trade com n Union on gasoline diplomatically suggests the possibility of "artificial manipulation." Un official observers lacked the temperament to express It In such polite terms. The apology for "Bob" declares that the fee graft he is holding out amounts to only $75.27 a month. In the two terms for which lu has been drawing $4,000 a year salary for nine year there are 108 months. Figure It cut for yourselves! Neutrality does not pay?, Co tell It to Copenhagen and get the laugh. Danish steam ship companies cleaned up $23,000,000 last yar, almost five times the yea'ly earnings be fore the war. Danish millionaires are liloom icg at every port. Here's Mr. Bryan's pronouncement: "Deino-c-alic voters will prefer Dunn to Hitchcock where they know both. If they only know Hitchcock, they will still prefer Dunn." To tell the whole truth, he should add: "In either event, they will prefer someone clue." Mr. Bryan kwpa on reiterating that Hrsatnr Htt-K-eock "did not naiU ma to to to tha national conven tion hcoa.ii h 1 am unfriendly to tha piesi. dent" Nnwh"-re haa Mr. Hitchcock said such, a thins -Lincoln Ptar, quoted with approval by tha senatm paper.

I Omaha, the Market Town. Omaha Is surely coming Into its own as the market town of the great west. It has been a work of ardous endeavor, not easily accom plished, but it is certainly reaching the goal. The latest step is the establishment of a bay market or exchange, wherein will be concen trated tbe buying and selling of this staple farm pioduct, and the establishment of atandards for grading, tbe publication of current prices on an authoritative basis, and the doing .of other ttings that will be helpful to all concerned. This market starts under conditions that should bring success. Tbe Omaha live stock rrarket struicRld for years for tbe recognition that finally came, and Is now pressing close for tbe premier position. The grain market that followed bad an even more bitter fight, but haa won its right, and is also fast moving to the front. Our butter market Is slowly forcing It self on tbe attention of the world, and with these examples before them, tbe projectors of tbe hay market ought to be tbe more confident of tbelr future. Omaha is the natural shipping point for the richest agricultural region in the world, and It will yet be the market town on v hose trannactions the selling prices of farm products for the world are fixed. Give Us An Honeit District Clerk. There is Just one way to stop the fee graft lb the district clerk's office and that li by elect ing an honest man for dlHtrlct rleik. Patch up tbe law as we may, to close tbe boles through v hlcb a greedy hand can reach, a dishonest dis trict clerk will bunt for more holes and bire t.lcky lawyers to attack the validity of the law that block til kteallng. Harry U. Counsman Is asking the repub lican nomination for this office upon this frledge: "Every dollar of feci above the legal salary will be turned Into tbe county treasury." No one who is acquainted with Mr. Co una rm n personally, or who knows his record a county assessor, will for a moment doubt that he mean what he say and that he will scru pulously live up to bis promise In letter and spirit. Elect Harry O, Coansman clerk of the dis trict court and the work of tbe office will be done better than It has ever been done and every dollar that comes over the counter will go into tbe public treasury, where It belongs, and not a cent Into bis prlvste pocket above his rightful salary. Who If Back of the Boroori? Several days ago tbe president of the United Btate made an appeal for a cessation of ru mors and unfounded reports concerning our deullngs with Mexico. He hinted at sinister interests Lehind the fakes, and Indirectly Inti mated bis Intention to expose them. The last day or two has seen a great revival of contra dictory and unfounded reports from the south ern border, all at variance with what purports to be official new from Washington. The American people are willing to be fair with tbe administration, and bave no dculre to hamper tbe president In his work, but they like to keep pested as to what the government is doing. They recognize the military necessity of keeping secret the movement of troops in the field, but Heir wonder is increased by the vague hints from the president. Mr. Wilson has not always been so frank in his dealings with his country men as to deserve their unquestioning confi dence. His sending of personal messengers on secret missions bas aroused public curiosity, at least. Just now the people would like to know w ho Is back 'of the Villa rumors. If Republicans Are Grateful. In other atatos the much-prUed honor of representing tbe party as a delegate to a na tional convention is awarded to the man who Incessantly boosts for the success of the party t cket and never seeks office for himself, It la the only reward that can be given for such too rtre personal sacrifice In parly service. It the republicans of this district want to do the decent thing, tbey will apply this rule In favor of one of the eight aspirants fr the commission to represent them at Chicago. They v 111 thus recognize the work this one man has done, tn season and out of season, to keep the republican banner flying and elect republican candidates to office. Aiyron I,. Learned Is en titled to election by acclamation, leaving only the second place open to the competition of the ciher 8d men who are after It. Thst Is what would happen if this choice were made In con vmtlon and thst Is what should be none at the rrlmary, Gasoline Supply and Demand. The preliminary report of the United States Trude coiiimUslon on the topic of gasoline may rot tousottf the loiuumeis grostly, but it is calculated to temporarily at least silence the try of unfair manipulation of prices. The com n,llon discovers that tnlt the output of crude ill for the Ut year greater than ever, It iiaaolinv c villi nt was I, thst the Htsndard tMI produced a lit Up ocr o per rem of the ntal, and that the averts pru rbargeii by tha li.ilr lundcnu ti 1 rent a gallon mora than asked by l'ie Ho kefeller Salomon Thla fcnnwtwitue wilt tint materially aid Ih lum panrr tit tuluiinj tha mat f burning up th r i'l. tut be mar eitrtt mm atlfstun fin in tta Ihititiht thai the prue I 11111 Subjetl In ttia la ft a .i )t aM tlnmand, h that tha In tli'prndt'nu ate gHHuj; ittorv nt f It than ''" I ' the n'Mrn of tha nn'n.p-l , 1 ha ittialiou i i'SM t' rH Isltlral li) til l'tihillll if ,t'. h I k a aouri if t'.iarr Wkiie th itui! a' i i i''. iiumi I h I at t'iiiaha aUaiU p"r ad tn! !a tlMt, thf) tntlanil rutitplala. of th ) k llt ' tta lnt.it 'iUna if llatl in that la wbii Omaha lt prhittl ilhr r,arriv iliin "h piny ut auit.irUi !"..., M -' t It tkat ih iliwii ar Ii r)v4 Strong for Hughes Only Fair to Show Tham How, diTiuva Hls'ial: Victor J'lowatr, dltor of Tha Omaha Baa, la heading a movement to have tha narna of Justice Htifhea wrltlun on tha primary ballot by tha republican voters of Nebraska as thi-lr prffrrenct for tha republican nomination f'r prldnt. It It the 8-nmirel opinion that a very larse majority of Nebraska republicans would favor tha nomination of Mr. Hughes If they could be sure that, he would have a reasonable chance for tha nomination under all of tha clroumatanoea. Mr. Huahea he absolutely re. fused to permit his name to ha used tn any stale as a candidate. Tha necessary steps were taken to pl's hla nam on Ilia Nebraska primary ballot hy tho.s who favored tils nomination but ha withdraw his name. Similar events ocrurred In other status. Many frbtnds of Mr. Hushes Insist that, ha will tttke tha nomination If tenrtwed him In a proper man ner by tha republican nMoal convention and their position seems quite reasonable. However, the !! inent of uncertainty la so great that It mllliai-s against his cham-es to be offered the nomination by th convenllon. Nobody seems 1 have ny authority to say what ha will or will not do. In order to assist nny voter who may think ft best to so to wrtla the name of Justice Hughes on the primary ballot tbe Hlrrnal Is running soma cuts making clear tbe metl od to be followed. In order to have tho vote count I In name will bsvs to be written on the ballot correctly snl In addition the propr cross must, be made In Ilia proper s'i'isre.

The mime Is Charles K, Hughes, While the election Isw, as Interpreted bv the courts makes It clear thst voles otherwise written should be counted for him If the Intent of the voter was manifest, to msks sure that your vote shall be counted, writ It correelly, "Write II l" ta Ibe ttaly Way, Franklin News: The plan to write In Ibe name nf Charles K. Hughes s the republican candidate for president, seems to be growing In this stele. Tha only wnv he csn be made the candidate of the party is to wrlto In hla nam. Strongest Candidate Party Pal I l. Newman tlrovs Reporter: Led by Ih Omaha lien, a concerted effort ha been started by the republican papers of the slate o get th voter to wrlto In th nrniid of Justice char) fj, Hughes on the primary ballots a candidate for president. Justice Hughes has said that he will not enter Ibe race end has re fused to allow his nsme to he placed on primary ballots, hut h has not said that he would refuse th nomination If It Is given him. The general feeling over the country appear to be that Mr. Hughes Is the strongest candidate th republicans can put up and there Is a general disposition on tha part of rnsny to fort him Into th race, Nrbraaka Watched 'Ibroaaboot the t'oanlry, Kindlon Clipper: The result of the movement tn Nebraska In "writ In'' Hi nam of Charles E. I lushes for president, despll the fact that It doc not appear on the primary ballot, will be watched throughout the country. If a majority of the repub licans of the atata git lo Ihla much trouble to let It he known that the popular demand Is for Charles E. Hughes their presidential standard bearer, other elates are' bound to sit up and, take notice. It ts tha Intelligent Nebraska voter who can b depended upon lo do this very thing at the primary election and everyone who believes Juetlc Hughes la the most popular man for president should not fall to "writ In" hi nam where th blank line appear on the tin Hot. Writing In Take bat a Mtlle Time. Ixlngton Pioneer: It I becoming mor evident that tha republicans of Nebraska are In favor of Charles B. Hughes as their national standard bearer In the coining presidential struggle. While he has refused to allow his nam to ba used a a candidate. It Is evident ttint If th party call persistently for him he will cnnnt to become It candidate. The only way now to express a preference for Mr, Hughes Is to write hla name on tha ballot at tha approaching primary. It will reiilr but a llttlo time to write on the blank line on the ballot under tho heading "for president," Ibe name, "Charlea B, Hughes." tall Stralsht from the People. Veidel Outlook: The best way to make sure Unit Hughes accepts tha presidential nomination la to show him that the demand comes straight from the people Nehrsska republicans, under our prealdentlal primary law, have the opportunity tn give convincing proof of tha extent of this demand by "writing In" tha name "Charles E, Hughes" on their ballot. Mori of f all He Woold Aerept. O d Qui' It Is a matter of deep regret to thou sands of Nebraska re puhtlcana that It waa not possible for Justice H"he to be a candidate before the pri maries In this stst. That waa, however. Impossible. In the first place, llughea doea not desire to he president. He Is a lrtwyer and bla mind runa In legal I'hnntiele. He has a life Job where be Is and It it work that he knows how to do and enjoys. The honor la almost If not as great aa being prealrtent. If h becomes a prealdentlal candidal lie must, of enures, resign at once and thue Is always the poaelblllly that ha would tint be elected, though tn tha minds of mt. n i uhlirana Hint chain e Is remote.

SCITt'ATK CBNTKR, Mae., Apt It I, To tit Editor of Tha linn: Home lew week ago a letter I had written fell inlo tha hands of on of your reporters. In this letter I had mentioned the fact that th remarkable abilities of the Hav. Charles C. (lorst I formerly of Omaha, now of Cambridge, Ma.) aa a reproducer of blrl music and a a leoturar on birds were batng widely racognlzed In tha east. I spoke of lil having been engaged lo make a number of records for th Edison and Victor companies snd cf John Bur rough' testimony a to bis reproduction of bird note being the best he had ever heard. 1 think 1 si no mentioned the fact that he Is paying his s'hnol expenses with thesa lectures hefora Audubon So cieties, etc. your reporter doubtless meant well, but h Jumped at a numbtr of conclu sions when ha produced the srtiol which sppeared In Tha Kunday He of March 24 under the title, "Mvlnlty Mtudont Is tn Quandary Whether to Preach or Whistle." 1 m sure, therefore, that you will he very glad, In justice to Mr. Ooret's profesdotiMl standing at a minister to print this letter of explanation, as I am now giving It. In tha first place, although living In Cambridge, Mr. floiat 1 not connected with Harvard Divinity school, but s en rolled In the graduate department of Hoeton university, a Met hodlet Institu tion so affiliated with Harvard a to open courses In either school to Its stu diml. In th second plnra you sie mistaken In saying that It Is "a iiuestlon wlitllior h can do aa welt preaching as ha can whistling for the records." There I really no question about It at all, If the reference 1 to financial remuneration. Ha can make Hire or four times a much money whistling a In th ministry. In th third place, you may b Hunt In saying that th question s to "whether he will continue whistling or go to preaching" after he I through school "Is puxitllng some of bis Omaha friends;" but you sre wholly wrong In assuming that It Is also puis fcllng "the young man himself," I am vary sure that h ha no doubts shout It tt alt. Kver sine his freshman year at Nebraska Wesleysn he has been prepar ing for Ih ministry. He lis already taken the 8. T. It, degree from Boston unlverally and I now working toward Ma Ph. I', In th same Institution. All these years of schooling hav bad but one object -preparation for the ministry of the eleVreh, II will not cast. It. lightly asldo for th very useful life of a natur alist, artist and lecturer. I have had no opportunity of communicating with Mr. Gorat sine this srtlol appeared, and do not know, In fsct, whether he has heard of It or not, but I bsvs been so Intimately acquainted with him for the last ten years of col lego snd seminary work that t have not the allghtest hesi tation In saying that h has never for a moment considered th abandonment of his calling In order to give serious at tention to the more lucrative work which his natural rlfl have mad so easy, snd which appeals so strongly to his highly developed artistic sensibilities. It has been merely a hobby a splendid method of recrestlon for him. Thanking you In advance and hoping that thla statement will dismiss all doubts from th minds of Mr. Clorst's friends and will end sll spprehenslon s to his future In th Christian ministry, I am, ft, Z.

Cal April .-To the Ed itor of Tho Wee: I nolle by evening paper that Mr, Hughe of New fork tnsy be Induced to run for president If the nomination comes without protest, On my way here we traveled through six teen sinlcs nd I talked with many on trains snd In hotels who said that If Mr. ItiiKhea waa nominated they would sup port him, as he was their choice. Kovera.1 strong life-time democrats whom I talked with coming through Kentucky, Tennes see and Alabama said they had always voted the democratic ticket, but If Mr. Hughes was nominated they would sure vole for him.
