Pleading for a clean campaign, Senator Hitch-' cock takes opportunity to circulate the imidious propaganda prepared at Lincoln, assailing the repub lican candidate for governor by questioning bli hon esty. Resorting to the time-worn subterfuge of in terviewing s "prlminent" but unnamed republican, the Lincoln proponent of th Hitchcock-Bryan-Mullen combination, by innuendo and half-veiled allusion un dertakes to make it appear that an unholy bargain was made in Douglas county, the result of which was to deprive Adam McMullen of votes that might have nominated him. , Surely, if auch a bargain had been made, it would hav been known and disclosed here, rather than in Lancaster county. McMulIen's supporters in Douglas ' county were alert, enthusiastic, and active at all points. It Is difficult to see how such a deal as the one referred to could have been put over and yet nothing of it bave been brought to the surface until it was discovered by a "well known republican," who at once took into his confidence the editor of a demo cratic paper at Lincoln. The whole story is in keeping with the despicable tactics adopted by little men in pursuit of big ob jects. It is intended to breed distrust, suspicion, and dissension among republicans who are now united. Fortunately, the story is one that carries its own answer. Yet it is evidence of what the republicans must face during the coming campaign. No form of political chicanery will be neglected, no practice of deceit or duplicity omitted, to confuse the voters by the desperate democrats, who rely on such methods to obtain victory. A clean campaign is desirable, conducted on dig nified lines, wherein issues will be fairly discussed and the reason of the voters and not their prejudices appealed to, but the democrats are making a poor start in this direction. SAVING FOR NEBRASKA CITIZENS. v People of "Nebraska, all taxpayers, must be en couraged by the very eloquent figures that come from, the Stat Board of Equalization. The. tax levy for state purposes has ben reduced one-third; the valua tion of property listed for taxation has been reduced by $120,932,941. The actual saving to taxpayer willq be $8,589,398.26. s-. Here is the concrete answer to the general de mand for lower taxes and a reduction in the expense of running the state. It is the republican method of redeeming a promise. A special session of the leg-, islature cut more than $2,000,000 from appropria tions -already made. This, with the reduction in tax levy and valuation announced, will bring the saving effected very close to $6,000,000. Careful management, prudent watchfulness of all expenditures, the kind of oversight a good business man gives to his personal affairs, has made this pos-' sible. ' All the great activities of the state will still be carried on, but at less cost, because the control of all money-spending agencies is centralized, and waste,' duplication, overlapping and the like is done away with. - The people are getting the benefit of the changes that have come with lessened costs. This benefit is 'made the more certain because of better methods of handling the state's business. And the savings ef fected are for the citizens of Nebraska. TOAITINO "THE NEXT WAR." Debate in th British Hutu of Commons and th senate of th. United States on th Balfour not brought out torn points of thought common to both peoples. Senator Borah and Joslsh Wedgewood, labont member of parliament, expressed on of these common thought by asking what good could com of cancellation ef debts if the money so saved was to be expended for armament. . Along with his perfunctory and not a all satisfy' ing explanation of the Balfour not, Lloyd George announces the proposed immediate expenditure of $10,000,000 for airplanes .for "horn defense." France, demanding that Germany pay through th not in settlement of French war claims, is planning to expend from $150,000,000 to double that amount in building the trans-Sahara railroad, that is to connect and consolidate French African colonies, and make more facile and certain transportation of colored troops to Europe to fight under the trl-color. Ger many begs for remission of reparations, and fortifies the Kiel csnal. Russia turns her starving millions over to American generosity, which never yet has failed or faltered, and Trotzky parades himself at the heead of the largest and most efficient army on earth today. The toast is not "Der Tag!" but to the next war, The insanity of reactionary statesmanship has not passed in Europe; nations over there are not ready to give over ancient and outworn conditions, and settle down in amity and concord to work out destiny that would be glorious in every aspect, war it not marred by unworthy human aspirations and am bitions. America still is the hope of the world, and Amer ica will help the world, but can do' little for Europe until the leaders over there give up notions that rest on force, and substitute those that are supported, by reason. Justice must prevail, but justice can not be done, nor equity be achieved until all are ready to submit to justice and willing-to do equity.

The Average Voter la lo Blame. FREAK OF THE PRIMARY,, Tennessee presents one of the novel complica tions that may arise under the primary system of nominations. Congressman Padgett, popular in his district, was opposed for renomination by a single opponent The congressman died just before election day, and when it was too late to get another name on the ballot. Consequently this provided his ad versary with a walk-pver. . However, several of Pad gett's friends were not only willing but eager to run, with him out of the way. Consequently they organ ised a movement to vote for the dead man, knowing he was dead, and give him the majority, that a new election may be called and one of their number ba placed on the ticket. On the surface this may seem good politics, even if it be sharp practice. The question is: When they deliberately voted for a dead man, knowing him to be dead, did they not voluntarily disfranchise them selves so far as that election is concerned? If the supporters of the, dead man's opponent cast their votes in good faith, should they be disfranchised as regards the election, and required to go through the motions again? If a voter willingly and knowingly casts a vote for one who is disqualified, he accepts in advance the effect of his action, which is to waste a vote. This the Tennessee group seems to have done. If a primary result can be set aside on the basis here proposed, it might be overturned on a similar pretext, the deliberate plot of an interested com bination. Such proceedings make farcical the serious business of choosing candidates for public office. SMALL. MEN ; BIO ISSUES. There ware giants in those days." ' Others than A. C Townley have been impressed with the shortage ef big men in publi Of a today. In ascribing the re vanes of the Nonpartisan league to the fact that certain American states are not growing big men he H at least half Tight The desire to be considered great is frequent enough,' but in small men it results only, in lack of capacity for team work and in un ending struggles for personal advancement This is a condition that exists in all parties, hut particularly among the radical factions. Mr. Townley, of course, had North Dakota, and perhaps Minnesota in mind. Did he refer to Lynn J. Frazier, recalled as governor and now candidate for th United Stag sepatet .Undoubtedly he RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN OMAHA. It may be that Rev. William Sanford preaches a peculiar religion, and in a peculiar way. -For the matter of that, so did John the Baptist, Paul the Tent- maker, Jan Hus, Savonarola, Martin Luther, William Booth, and a tremendous host of others whose names are indellibly connected with the progress of Chris tianity and the story of civilization. Rev. Willian Sanford has a right to preach and practice his own religion, so long as it does not offend against good public or private morals. The Omaha Bee knows nothing of his tenets, but it does believe that if the police were to protect him from the possi ble assemblage of hoodlums and thoughtless onlook ers, who customarily gather around such places, and who idly disturb the proceedings, the neighbors who are now complaining might have less occasion to grumble. Any form of religion that devoutly worships God, esteeming Him as the chief good, whether it embraces all the forms and practices of the Christian religion or not, is a good religion for those who find comfort and consolation in its teachings. Sec-, tarians at times forget' this fundamental fact, and in their zeal for their own beliefs are prompted to infringe on the beliefs of others. Rev. William Sanford and those who partake of his creed may be in error in detail, but not in foun dation. They are exercising one of th dearest rights of until, that of worshiping God in their own way. They "should be protected in this right Mr. Sanford and his flock should have consideration for the rights of other people, but this does not mean that they are to be deprived of their own. A little tolerant patience may solve the problem. AT THE VERY CENTER. If you were asked to give the location of the geographic center of Nebraska, what town or county would you name? Few persons, probably, would place it as far west as Custer county. And yet the geological survey has announced that it is ten miles northwest of Broken Bow. This imaginary point, the hub of the state, lies somewhere between the towns of Ernst and Merna. -. ; ,y, Iowa's center falls five miles northeast of Ames. That of Kansas is fifteen miles north of Great Bend. No doubt each of these points falls in some farmer's field. At the risk of starting a neighborhood feud it may be suggested that the proprietor of the pivotal point hog-tie his distinction by giving his farm a name indicating its position. Half way along the road from New York to San Francsco lies the "Midway ranch." The significance of its name is not to be missed, and the city of Kear ney, which lies nearby, borrows fame from the fact. Nebraska is not far from the geographic center of the United States. This position has been de termined as falling a few miles over the state line, in Smith county, Kansas, latitude 39 degrees, 60 minutes, and longitude 98 degrees, 35 minutes. From there the square miles of the mainland extend equally in all directions. This is the farthest inland point a distinction and , at the same time something of a handicap. Seattle is to have an astronomical observatory, with a telescope to cost a million dollars. ' And the beauty of it is that every now and then during certain seasons of the year the air is so clear at Seattle that the stars are visible to the naked eye. A woman frightens a robber by threatening to stab him with her hatpin, and a burglar flees when a fretful baby cries in the night. .Just as well kill a man as scare him to death. . The automobile is really a boon to Chicago in the present emergency. A motor car may not be a strikebreaker, but it certainly is a great alleviator of a street car strike's terror. So Lloyd George was only spoofing us about the forgiveness of debts. Very well, but the practice of sending up trial balloons is too common. Chicago straphangers will, now that the street car strike is ort develop their leg muscles to match that of their forearms. . Missouri democrats evidently know what they want, and part of it is to run their own affairs. . Perhaps Europe would be willing to pay off its American debt in nice new paper money.

Old guard politicians of both parties have two special obstacles I to encounter in their schemes to overthrow the direct primary and return to the hand-picked caucus and convention plan of elections. These are orgalsed labor and the farmer.

It has been known for a long time that certain plants indicate the pres ence of deposits of minerals under mund. tn the proceedings of the Australian Mining Institute ss. L,iage tar ha summarized several remarK able examples where beds of ore war revealed by plants growing on the surface above. The Amorpna Missouri a plant belonging to the nnlann sumach family serves the um nnrnone. as a lead ore indi cator.

The dictionary gives these words with two bars before them and says such words have not yet become anglicised. Since some of these words are commonly used, I don't know whether they will still be "termed foreign words or not. Here are the words, or some ot them: Abandon, alga, algor, cafe, argala, ara. J. A.
