Is there anywhere in Nebraska, for in stance, any great spontaneous Inter est in any presidential candidate in any party? Mark Sullivan has lately toured the middle west studying the presi dential situation. He finds every where the public indifference which seems so pronounced in Nebraska. The presidential candidates are not By a I interesting the common folks. great furore of campaigning a large vote was got out in South Dakota, but the voters showed no positive, trend even there. They divided al most eveuly among the three leading candidates. , . , . , Mr. Sullivan has an 'explanation of this apparent public apathy, and It is significant If true. The people are not interested In the presidential campaigns of the old type politicians, he says, because they have lost hope or faith in the old parties, or rather in the ways of their politicians. They consider congress and the politicians behind the times. They do not deal in the matters which the people have at heart. They continue dealing in political spoils when the people have nothing but disgust for the spoils sys tem. " They continue to run -politics for pontics' sake, whereas the people are anxious for a politics capable of solving the social problems under which they are bowed. What positive form does this pub lic attitude take? A disposition, ac cording to Mr. Sullivan, to. grade a presidential candidate up about in proportion as the party politicians grade him down. If" General Wood has any advantage over Governor Lowden, It Is because Wood has been less identified with the old party pol' itics. The real beneficiary of this attitude of the middle western pub lic, says Mr.' Sullivan, is Herbert Hoover. Hoover has been no poli tician at all. He ran the food ad ministration without taint of poli tics. He picked as his assistants men of notable ability, disregarding politics. Maybe a man so divorced from the politics-for-politicians uabli might do something to-set up a poli tics for the public system. Every where he went, says Sullivan, he found this point of view strongly supported. The apathy which Mr. Sullivan dis covers is self evident. . The existeace of a widespread, spontaneous Hoover sentiment in both parties Is equally obvious. The relation between thi two, as Mr, Sullivan sees it, is an explanation of what hitherto has been something of a mystery. :o: A MAD MARCH It is with devout satisfaction we arrive this year at the final day of March. There have been March months which made us feel like apol ogizlng for 'the bad name we give the windy month. This has not been one of the number. March has lived down to Its reputation this year and then some. It is impossible to imag Ine any one being sorry to see it go Here in Nebraeka the wind must have traveled close to a million miles this month. A great pendulum has kept swinging north and south, an alternation of bloirs. One day we swallow South pakota dust; the next we sample Kansas. The winds have trimmed the trees and wherever was a weak telephone pole, there has - downfall The roaring ol BLVU c . - he wind has been so Ineessant we have ceased to hear it- Maybe March afforded one sweet spring day and maybe two. B surely not more. At least once it na. with a zero chill. At no LUUuv" " time was it safe, o trust a bright morning to lead ter a pleasant day. After January and February had been quiet and kind, it was truly disap pointing to find March doing the lion act the whole month through. We have no special, complaint here in Nebraska. We seem, Indeed, to have been an isle of comparative calm and mildness with raging oceans of worse wind and blizzard to the north, east, south and west. Nevertheless, even our sort of March was plenty. Begone, madcap month and return no more till capable of i better conduct. :o: OUT WITH, THE TUR5 Americans without regard to oth er division of opinion will join with President Wilson in demanding that the Turk be ousted from Europe and deprived of- any dominion over Chris tian peoples.. The character of the note to the allies with regard to the treaty of peace now being formulated for the Turk Is clear, emphatic and resolutely American in its tone. Along with it must go a perfect un derstanding of what it involves. The French government expresses perfect concurrence in the spirit and pur pose of the note, but asks "how these ends can be achieved without the force necessary to deal with the trou ble certain to result among the Mus sulman population." Mustapha Kemal, - leader or the Turkish 'nationalist faction, is busy striving to arouse- Mohammedans to a holy war, asserting that the occu- pancy of Constantinople is an insult to the Moslem world. He has de clared the sultan no longer caliph of Islam, an act of rebellion, but one that must certainly appeal to the fa naticism he is cultivating. Yet, in the face of this, the United States has a right to demand that the pow ers of Europe deal firmly with the Turkish situation, to the end that the presence of this enemy of civiliza tion in Europe will no longer irritate and disturb the peace. The proposal that Russia he given a voice at such time as a stable gov ernment is set up there, with a right to review any action now taken at Paris, is also sound. Russia's con cern in the Bosporus and Dardanelles exceeds that of any other European nation. Only jealousy of Russia and a desire to shut off Odessa from easy communication with the outer world by leaving the sultan supreme over the straits connecting the Caspian with the Mediterranean, has held the situation as it has been for so many years. When the Turk has been expelled from Europe, and the important wa terway he has so long straddled has been internationalized, a potent bond for permanent peace will have been given the world.

The home is, in fact, a happiness factory for the family when its. mistress gives intelligent attention to her du ties. It Is,' of course, a moral obli gation that the husband, In his .wis dom, should aid to the extent of his ability in making the home all it should be, but alas! How often are his well meant efforts spurned. Take the case of William Economo of Detroit, for instance. William is a methodical man, a believer in time schedules, who would have his wife improve not only each shining hour. but every precious minute. Know ing that success is not attained by haphazard methods, he devised a time table for his new "wife. It required her to rise at 5:45. At 5:57 she was to be dressed. At 5:59 her hands and face were to be washed. Tlv 6:19 breakfast was "to ibq ready and eaten. ; ' : ' '.. William , went to-work then, but the time table provided for sweepin and other household work during his absence. It was an admirable ar rangement, in that it developed speed in the performance of. home tasks. One day William, discovered that 20 minutes of, his wife's time were un occupied, whereupon he revised the time table and suddenly found his domestic accommodation train side' tracked in the divorce court station The Judge, acting as train dispatcher ordered it run to Alimony, where the brakes were set and the engine taken to the round house. What encouragement is there any more for husbands to make them selves useful about the house? Here was a loving mate who might have made b.is wife a standardized model of domestic efficiency. But she was not clock-broke. She would't work on a time schodule. Now she gets up when she wants to, does as she pleases, and her husband lias to pay her J 10 a week after trying to run her like an automobile faetory. It is discouraging for husbands isn't it? :o: -. vt i nmnnsed to make the first " - day of May "American Day". All days, in fact, should be American days in the United States.
