The big war across the water is said to cost over
$50,000,000 per day. Can you imagine the total, if
the war continues many months, as experts claim it
will? Who can compute the famine and pestilence
that will follow? What of the sorrow, misery and
heartache to the motherhood in the loss of perhaps
millions of the flower of manhood in those countries?
Who will bear the brunt of the battles, the cost incur
red? Who will bear the curses of the people over it
all? Will not the curse of Almighty God be upon the
leaders, those who have brought all this upon the peo
ple? Is it not possible, and even probable, that the
crowned heads of Europe will be thrown out of power
and republics will arise from the crime and disaster
and death brought upon these countries because of
their lust, passion and desire for power? There is an
old trite saying, “Everything is for the best,” and per
haps following this greatest conflict the world has
ever known royalty will be a thing of the past and the
people will rule in a world-wide peace.
A meeting of democratic editors of the state was
held in Omaha last Friday to look after official plums.
Postmaster-Editor Beushausen of the Times of course
was there. But Why? Has he not ostensibly placed
his paper in a stock company,with a figurehead editor,
and supposed to have gone out of the editorial busi
ness while he is postmaster? If so, what business has
he down at the democratic editors’ pow-wow? Or is
he de facto editor of the sheet, and the so-called com
pany affair merely a fake which he can hide behind
to be able to hold the postmastership under the :ul
ing of the postoffice department, which ruling
is to the effect that postmasters must get out of
all other business and devote their time and attention
wholly to their postoffice duties?

The Bee has. started a campaign for a shorter
ballot. If we understand the Bee’s contention, it
means the nomination of a governor and possibly two
or three other state officers, they to select all the
other state officers, the senate to confirm or reject.
What an immense power the Bee would confer on the
few. Talk of centralization of power; that would be
sure going some. However, we hardly believe the
people would be willtng to confer that much on two
or three elected men, or on any two or three men, for
that matter. With such a primary election, Omaha,
Lincoln and a few of the larger cities would virtual
ly be the power centers and get the whole cheese.
It would seem that there are none to do the pre
sent primary law reverence. Our exchanges with
scarce an exception condemn the primary law as
shown by its workings in the past election. It seems
to be the general opinion that the more it is tried out
the Weaker it is shown to be. Had it not been for the
general cowardice of the majority of the delegates at
the late state republican convention, when a few
howlers stampeded the crowd, the plank in the plat
form condemning the primary system in its present
form would have carried by an immense majority.
The howlers found two many “Fraid cats” and the
plank was knocked out.

Postmaster-Editor Beushausen wants to know
how it is that the editor of the Northwestern is aware
of what the postmaster-editor says in his Times, as
long as the Northwestern refuses to exchange with
the said sheet. That’s dead easy. Friends call our
attention to his screeds. Now how does Postmaster
Editor Beushausen know what, appears in the North
western? That’s dead easy, also. As postmaster, he
has a cinch.

War dispatches tell of the Kaiser and Czar at the
front with the fighting men. But we’ll wager they
are so far away no bullets can touch them. It is the
poor devil of a private that stpps the bullets while the
crowned heads are back in places of safety.
Roosevelt is to put in one day campaigning for
the progressive party this fall; the’date is not yet
fixed.
Dale Makes Kick
on Primary Ballot
I
\
1 Special Dispatch to World-Herald.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug, 28.—The
attention of the attorney general
has been called by Raymond E.
Dale of Loup City to the fact that
the name of Peter Wink, his op
ponent for the democratic nomi
nation for state senator in the
twenty-second district, was printed
in larger ty {>e than the other names
on the ballots. The ballots he
says, were printed by the Times
Independent of Loop Cit,y for use
in Sherman country.
Besides the name of Senator
Wink appearing on the ballot in
larger type than the names of the
other candidates, the number of
the senatorial district was omitted
from the heading over the divi
sion on the ballot and the postof
fice address of every candidate,
except the address of Mr. Dale,
was printed on the ballot. Mr.
Dale says his name was certified
by the secretary of state as Ray
mond E. Dale, but that it appear
ed on the ballot, “R. E* Dale.”
Mr. Dale suspects that Mr.
Wink’s name was not printed in
larger type than his own name by
mere accident. He also suspects
that the ballot might have been
printed as it was so that in case
he won the nomination the vote
of Shermun county might possibly
have been thrown out. Under the
statute, the postoffice address of
candidates should not have ap
Iteared on the ballots.
The primary law provides for
the beginning of contests within
five days after the vote in a sena
torial district is canvassed. It is
not likely that Mr. Dale now has
a remedy.
Great Cost for
Useless Voting
If persons who write upon bal
lots the names of persons who are
not candidates for offices for which
they are thus voted could realize
the vast amount of trouble they
are causing by persuing this
course, little of this would be done.
Many voters go into the election
booths and not finding on the bal
lot the name of one for whom they
care to vote for some certain of
fice, write in a name and put a
cross aften This does the party
thus voted for no particular good
and he will in all probability never
hear of the compliment some one
has attempted to pay him. The
election canvassing board hears of
it, however, and practically one
fourth of the time taken up by it
in counting and recording the vote
is occupied in writing those
names on tne return books and
setting down the vote received by
these non-candidates. But the
most trouble is apparent in the of
fice of the county clerk when the
vote is counted. No names but
those of regular candidates ap
pear on the books and when an
others is voted for it must be re
corded on a seperate sheet kept
for this purpose. After the com
pletion of the regular canvass
these scattering votes must be at
tended to the names written
into the record book and the
number of votes received by
each man not a regular candidate
recorded. To attend to this extra
and useless work will take about
one-third of the time of the can
vassing board, which is now at
work to determine officially the
result of the late primary election.

Needed Reform in
Legislation
Fremont Tribune: One of the
next reforms—and one badly
needed will effect state legisla
tures. The start has been made
by Maryland, which has adopted
rules that already have claimed
national attention.
There have been two great evils
in connection with the work of
state legislatures. The first has
been partisanship and machine
manipulation of measures design
ed for the benefit of the public.
The other has been smothering of
good measures in committee.
The new rules adopted by both
houses in Maryland are so framed
as to put everything on a basis of
publicity and to show up chican
ery wherever attempted and make
the guilty persons responsible.
Although the Maryland legisla
ture is republican, the rules put
every measure, whether presented
by an anti-organization democrat,
a republican or an organization
man on the same plane. The
Maryland senate rule provides
that all bills introduced in the
first month of the session must be
reported within 20 days and all
bills introduced after the first
month w>thin 15 days. The only
way a committee may hold a bill
longer is to ask for more time and
have its request granted by the
majority vote of the senate.
The house rules are even more
drastic. They provide for the re
porting of measures within the
same time limit without any
moans of extension by a majority
vote. The demand of 15 members
that bills be reported becomes the
demand of the whole house unless
the rules are suspended by a two
thirds vote.
ivuies such as these undoubted
ly will be adopted by other state
legislatures. They will tend to
expedite legislation and to elimi
nate many of the evils that are
now so patent to all in the present
system of complicated law-making.
