PLATFORM CONVENTIONS TODAY.
At Lincoln and In Omaha today accredited dele
tralrn rt'priacnlinjf the pulitital partiva will mavt to
lormutalt th platfurmi on which the tampaiKn ia to
int. Thia ia in tonfurmlty with the law, and ia in
nil nenara a n vei nal of the ld method. Ticket! have
hren t hot n, the randidutra nominated have accepted
i he foniniiahion iven tht-m with ita aocompanyiiiK
implnnlioii of pnrty iiort, and now the laauea are
to ha outlined anl formulated in comprehensive
laihion.
Necesaarily, the vittti of tha canditatea aa tt
pounded during the primary campaign will find re
fection in tha formal docurnenta. but thia fact ia not
on that binda the convention entirely., The dele
Katea ra clothed with the power of announcing the
party program, and It ia a record in this itute that
viewa o put forth are of a character that fairly ex
preneea the party attitude toward public queationa.
What will lake place at cither of the frreut purty
gathering can not be told in advance. It ia pomible,
however, to forecaat for tha republican con
tention, renting on the party'a record, that it will give
out a platform containing pledea to be redeemed.
Thexe pledyea will contain plana or workable le(fila
tion calculated to continuo the proKrcxa and conserve
the welfare of the citizeni of the state in private aa
v.cll as in public mattera.
Nebraska republicana have ever been forward
looking in their policy, avoiding radica!inm on one
hand and reactionary tendenciea on the other, ever
providing aafe government with a ateady advance in
method. Such changes or modification in existing
government aa are needed to give it better adaptabil
ity and make it more reaponsive to the requirement!
of the atate in general will be auggetcd. Nothing
will be done for the sake of experiment only; nothing
that ia calculated only to tear down. A general con
structive program will be outlined, with definite
promise on rpecfic points, with issues made clear and
dittinct, ao that all the people may know exactly
what the republicans propoae to do.
W have no advance information as to what the
democrats propoae to do. Utterances of their leaden
indicate their platform will denounce all the re
publicans have done from Washington to the farthest
point west in the' state. One thing ia certain, and
that is that the opposition is not to be permitted to
solect the battle ground nor to name the weapons. It
will be called upon to meet live issues, for the re
publican! are aroused and' united, and propose to
make an aggressive campaign in support of a plat
form that will ring true in its utterances of policy.
ENGLAND LOSES A LEADER
Thiuugh the daath of Alfred llsrmawonh, Via
tount NorthclirtV, pi tat man ia removed from tha
arena of world affair, At ownar and publisher of
a number of influential daily papers In England, at
tha head of which waa tha I.oiuimi Times, Northcliffa
wieldvd the must power of any man not in tha of
tidal Ufa of tbo empire. Hit death, an unexpaited
calamity, roba Kngland of a Ivadar aoraly naadej.
One of the characteriititi of NorthclinVa cararr
as his peculiar mixture of liberalism and ioner
a(inm. Ho wui not a radical, nor on the other hand,
wit he a tury in any ne, When England went
Into the witr, Noi thelilTe threw hla whola organua
lion Into tha tank of arousing tha public to tha aa
riousneia of the buaineia before it, )i criticised tha
cabinet, headed by Herbert Aaquith, and forced tha
retirement or in premier ami me formation or a
government under Lloyd George, To thia govern
ment he gave unstinted help. Ilia strictures compelled
the removal of Sir John French and the substitution
of Douglas Haig a commander-in-chief of tha liritiih
Expeditionary force. IU was on the point of break
ing with Kitchener, when that leader started on the
Journey that en Jed with hi loss in the North Atlantic.
.Since the war Northcliffa has steadily opposed
Lloyd George's domestic policy, save si relates to In
land. While supporting the League of Nation, bet-auto
of it obvious advantage to tlio llritish empire,
the great Journalist did not refrain from criticism of
the Treaty of Versailles and settlements made
under it.
Hi friendship for the United Stutes was solid
and sincere. When he came aa head of tha British
commission in 1917, he accepted hi only public office,
and took it because he knew ha could aerve both
countries by ao doing. His recent tour of the world
included a long Journey over tha United States, and
his expressions were those of a kindly but deeply in
terested and earnest critic.
Taken with tho death of Arthur Griffith, the free
atate leader in Ireland, the death of Viscount North
clifTc is certain to produce profound effects if not ex
tensive changes of plans in the political life of tha
United Kingdom.

WHEN THE HOUSE MEETS TODAY.
The house of representatives is scheduled to meet
today, after its recess of longer than month. Just
what will first occupy its attention is yet to be dc
veloped, but there is reason to think that aome sort
of emergency legislation connected with the pending
labor troubles may be proposed,, President Harding
has signified no intention of asking for authority
beyond what he possesses, but Senator Cummins has
stated his intention of offering in the senate a meas
ure to extend the power of the Railroad Labor board
and this may have an echo in the house. It ii well
however, that congress be prepared to move with
celerity if any emergency arises that might call for a
law to meet it. Conditions that surround the rail
way operations in various parts of the country are
far from reassuring, although hope for ending the
difficulty still is held by those closest to the president.
Under any circumstances, the house will find plenty
to do, for the senate expects to end the tariff debate
and take a final vole on the bill before the week is
over. This will send the measure back to the house,
and then to conference, and so provide ample em
Dloyment for the lower body of congress. Senators
are weary and eager for a few days of rest, yet the
emergency may hold them in Washington to the end
of dog day: .
WHY DO THE HEATHEN RACE?
According to Senator Hitchcock's paper, certain
of the able and unterrified democratic aenators are
not at all well pleased because the nenatc adopted
the flexible tariff measure. It is. according to Sena
tors Walsh, Kecd and Underwood, the destruction of
the Constitution of tho United States, a perversion
of legislative precedent, and direct invasion of the
righta of congress. W7hat has happened? Merely
that the senate has decided to give the president
power to move the tnrifT rates on certain commodi
ties up or down as conditions warrant. In other
words, instead of the schedules being fixed and rigid,
they are niado subject to revision without appealing
to congress to enact a law covering the change.
The original McKinley bill, which has recently
been so lovingly referred to by the democrats, con
tained a reciprocity provision that gave the president
power to remove tariff imposts under eertauvxondi
tions. The tariff law in President Taft's time con
tained a plan by which the president wns authorized
to levy retaliatory or countervailing duties. Each of
these provisions is analogous to the one that now so
worries the brethren.
President Harding's ideas on tho subject were
presented last week. He has no thought of exercis
ing his own judgment exclusively, but wants the ad
vice and recommendations of tho Tariff commission.
If that hody is to function at all in a serviceable
way, it will be through just the method as proposed
by the president, and made possible by the law. The
trouble with the democratic senators who are ob
jecting is that they arc incapable of grasping a pro
gressive Idea. The elasticity given the tariff will
work a revolution nowhere save in the democratic
campaign plan?.
A THINKING PEOPLE. '
Indifference of the people to modern problems is
a blight on democracy. Once citizens come to feel
that the troubles of the nation are none of their affair
and are content to shift them entirely on their
elected representatives, things begin to go to pieces.
Public opinion is at once the most wholesome and the
moKt powerful influence in government, and even in
those outside affairs, social and economic.
The editorial writing contest in which the readers
of The Omaha Bee have been engaged proved beyond
question that the people of Nebraska and the neigh
boring states are alive to every modern problem.
No current event of any importance eluded their con
sideration. The wide and intelligent interest in af
fairs demonstrated in these contributions should
prove reassuring to any one inclined to fear the rise
of unconcern.
The people of Nebraska are thinking. Their
common sense is being applied to every modern move
ment. They are neither backward aboui". expressing
themselves, nor do they rush in with comment on
matters that they have not studied. The ring of hon
est tolerance, the desire to view all sides of a disputed
matter is striking in these reader editorials. Par
ticularly reassuring is the oft-voiced plea for the
establishment of higher moral and, ipiritual stand
ards, not by legislation but by a revolution in the
heart of man.
It will not be an easy task for the judges to single
out three as prize winners, but it will be a pleasant
occupation, at all events, because of the variety and
excellence of thought that is to be found in almost
all of the articles submitted.
Almost a million dollars a day of war debt was
paid Ity Uncle Sam last year. This is in pleasing
contrast to the record made for the first two years of
the Wilson administration, which run behind almost
exactly a million dollars a day.

pretty easy, and sit In the bouse with
your feet cocked up on the stove
while we ate out in the storm with
all the clothes we ran gel on. and

Well, we would have to loa the day,
and In summer wa lose lot of day
on account of rain. Haiti alone lose

don't suppose you ever thought that
while the rain wa making you
money It wa losing thousand of

Then, sgaln, about 30 per rent ar
laid off from two to four month
during the winter; and when we
waul, to lay off for any buslm-s a
day's wage I shot. That will
amount to. several day in the year.
And, of course, we might want to
go see our mother, which usually
take two or three day. We are
away from our home six day out

not come to town for those 15 and
