Chancellor Andrews Is having trou
ble to enforce a rule recently nmdont
the state university which says that
young men nnd young women students
In the Nebraska university shall not
live In the same houses. Until the
university provides dormitories for nil
students , It Is not apparent how this
order Is going to be enforced. Two
students who refused to obey the or

The national dlvorco congress will
recommend uniform dlvorco laws to

ommendation for men are moro guilty
of the above crimes than are the wives.
However that may bo , the recommen
dations ought to bo adopted. To make
the residence- required the HIHUO In all
states might hurt business at Sioux

ber of migratory divorces.
Secretary Motcalfo will recommend
that the Japanese have n right to at

Nothing would suit Japan bettor , ap
parently , than to Imvo the supreme
court decision against the orientals ,
for that would open the way for the
war that the llttlo brown mon have
been longing for. There are many In
this country who bollovo that the soon
er that war comes the bettor for the
United States. The plot thickens In
the belief of many that the supreme
court will dccldo that the whites have
iv right to exclude Asiatics from their
schools.
A dispatch from Pierre has ro-nwnk-
oncd interest in Norfolk's old friend ,
the Yankton-Norfolk project. The
nnmo of Robert .1. Gamble as one of
the Incorporators adds Interest to the
fact that articles of Incorporation have
been filed In South Dakota. Norfolk
has not yet passed beyond the point
where that railroad , from the Dakota
wheat Holds to the gulf of Mexico , by
an air route , would stir an enthusiastic
welcome. It has always been bollovod
by many In Norfolk that some day
that line will be built. With the grade
between hero nnd the river already
for business , It Is an assured fact that
Norfolk would come In on the now
route. While this town Is not going
to lose any moro sloop over the pro
posed Yankton , Norfolk & Southwest
ern railway project , yet It will sit up
nnd notice when the north winds blow
rumors in this direction from up yon-
dor.
NEED BETTER NAVY.
Reports from Japan continue to con
firm the prediction , printed In those
columns several weeks ago , that there
Is grave danger of a war between
Japan and the United States just as
soon as Japan has sutllclcntly recov
ered from the struggle against Russia
to engage in another conlllct. As the
American navy stands today , It Is
conceded by our own ofllcors that
Japan could win an easy victory over
the Yankees along oriental shores.
Moro and moro Is the need of a
stronger body of ships to protect this
country's interests.
The other day a British transport
carried United States soldiers to Cuba
there were not enough Amer-
Iran Irunxnortfl available nt the mo-
mcnl to handle the troops. No other
nation of standing on earth Is BO
weak In KB merchant marlno na to
nHk mich Horvlco from a foreign power.
In llmo of war wo could not borrow
transports. The senate last winter
passed a bill providing for moro ships
but the Imuno has not yet taken ac
tion. President Roosevelt IIUB urged
the pasBimo of this bill , and It will
b'ocomo one of the first duties of the
approaching congress to make bettor
shipping provision.
Colonel Pitcher , who was reprimand
ed by President Roosevelt for alleged
Htatomonts regarding the Inelllcloncy
of colored troops , declares that ho was
mlHiiuoted and that ho has high regard
for the colored soldiers' lighting quali
ties. Many letters nro being received
by the president protesting against the
dishonorable discharge of three com
panies of these darkles at Urownvlllo ,
Texas , where one white citizen was
killed and othora were assaulted. The
troops kept the Identity of the guilty
ones n secret and the president de
clared that all thus becumo equally
guilty. The president declared that
Colonel Pitcher was as blnnmblo OB the
soldiers , for his alleged remarks.
These nro the Boldlors who formerly
wore stationed at Fort Nlobrarn , near
Valentino. It was feared that If the
army courtmartlaled the mon , the pun
ishments would be too light to suit the
southerners and It Is said that the war
department Is mueli relieved at get
ting out of the scrape In this manner.
Hooker Washington , the negro , urged
President Roosevelt to retain the negroes -
groes In service and discipline Colonel
Pitcher bill It Is said that the presi
dent thought "public sentiment" would
not sustain such a course. If Colonel
Pitcher's denial IB true , It would seem
that-Hooker T. Washington had llttlo
to do with the matter one way or an
other.
BRYAN. HEARST , SULLIVAN.
Many of the democrats all ever the
country are today denouncing Hearst ,
as all good citizens ought to denounce
such nu anarchist and a domoguo as
Is Hearst. Conservative democrats
everywhere , unwilling to accept Mr.
Hoarst. as the true leader of their
faith , are declaring that he Is forever
dead politically and that they are glad
of It , And there Is trouble ahead.
Democrats have practically chosen
William Jennings Bryan as their pres
idential candidate for the next race In
1SI08. Enjoying a wonderful personal
popularity , twice the national leader
of his party In a presidential cam
paign , Mr. Bryan is to bo nominated
a third time because his party sees lu
him a man who stands for all that is
right and against all that is wrong ,
according to their point of view.
Mr. Bryan denounced Sullivan of
Illinois and attempted to force the lat
ter out of the democratic party by an
Imperial edict. Mr. Bryan declared
that be would not bo Identified with
a political party which housed such
disgraceful people as this man Sulli
van. Sullivan was guilty of making a
deal , according to Mr. Bryan , by which
to secure for himself a place on the
Illinois committee.
But Bryan has accepted Hearst.
Not only does he accept the yellowlst
but be endorses him and his leader
ship. Ho has said that ho Is sorry
that Hearst was not elected governor
of New York.
Mr. Hearst's donls In politics Imvo
boon notoriously disgraceful to the
democratic party. At llrst denounc
ing Tammany , ho later made a tlo-up
for the sake of Its votes. At ono time
he declared Murphy ought to be In
the penitentiary and after his deal ,
Murphy was his best friend and loyal-
est supporter.
How will Mr. Bryan bo able to show
consistency between his repudiation of
Sullivan on the one hand and his ac
ceptance and endorsement of Hearst
tin the other ?
This lt > a question which conserva
tive democrats and the whole country
Is going to ask Mr. Bryan before he Is
elected to hang his hat In the whtto
house.
DUTY TO SOLDIER DEAD.
Another national meeting of veter
an officers who lead soldiers In hluo
during the days of ' (51 , which has just
been held at Council Bluffs. Is a re
minder to the world today that the
'anks of the old soldiers are not so
filled as once they were , and there Is
a matter In this connection which is
worthy .serious consideration on the
part of the younger generations of
men and women.
Every time a year rolls around wo
have a Memorial day In America. Jt
was set aside for the paying of respect
to the dead heroes who fought for the
stars and stripes when disintegration
of the union threatened ; It Is a day
for reviving in the mind of the nation
the stirring scenes of old and the
hardships which those boys In blno
wore forced to endure for patriotism's
sake.
That Memorial day , If It is to bo
perpetuated , must fall into the hands
of the sons nnd the grandsons of the
veterans of that crimson period of our
history , for the ranks of the veterans
un > 1,0 thinning out that , were they
alone to hoip frt'Hh the memory of
thoHo struggles , the batik's would soon
be forgotten nnd with them , so far as
the national memory Is concerned , the
armies that wore engaged ,
Memorial day ought to bo perpetuat
ed. Hut for Unit war's successful end
ing , this nation would not stand an the
powerful union that It IB today. Those
lighters laid the foundation for the
proHont government and erected Ihe
flagpole from which our red , white and
blue banner today floats on the breeze.
It IH but right that the nation as It
grows up should hear In mind Its Me
morial day , and on that day give re-
lloctlvo thought and tribute to those
who have loft the firing line forever.
Some action should be taken by the
city to Insiiro a fitting observance of
the coming Memorial day. It IB none
too soon to begin It. The procession
which marched to the cemetery last
spring to do honor to the soldiers bu
rled lu Norfolk , was not a largo one.
The old soldiers were there and their
families. A few others , also. But It
Is too much to ask of them that they
should endure the physical labor each
year of refroHhlng the flowers that are
placed on the mounds where Ho the
comrades who have gone.
The young mon nnd the young wo
men should take up this duty , this
privilege. A few years ago our school
children all went to the cemetery each
Memorial day and placed flowers on
the honored graves. That Is all that
any of us who remain can do. The
schools should continue to teach this
lesson of honor nnd patriotism and
every young American should learn
that It Is his duty on Memorial day to
tenderly place upon some soldier's
grnvo a flower that will breathe out
the occasion's deepest spirit. .
THE HORSETIIIEVES.
Scarcely a week goes by which does
not produce at least ono Instance of
horse stealing In some section of north
ern Nebraska , to further emphasize the
stringent need of an Immediate orga
nization of the farmers of this terri
tory against the rustler. The theft of
four horses from ono stable near
Crolghton and the successful escape
of the thief only adds another case to
the many that have gone before during
the past few months In this part of
the slate. Norfolk has had a dozen
animals stolen , Wayne has suffered ,
Ponder has been victimized and there
have been thefts at Crolghton , near
Stanton and at many other points In
the vicinity.
The law can not cope with these fol
lows. A sheriff in each county nnd a
village marshal In each town are ab
solutely powerless to do anything to
ward rescuing the stolen horses or
capturing the thieves. The horsethlef.
takes a wide circle , cuts across un
used highways and finally sells his
horses and makes his get-awny in saf
ety. Not ono man has been captured
within the past year or more , though
rewards have been offered tor them
all. Rewards will not catch culprits.
There Is but one way to attempt to
capture the thieves and that Is to be
gin Immediately to trail them. By tak
ing up a watch fifty or sixty miles
from the spot where the theft occurs ,
there is no reason why a band of farm
ers , well organized , should not stop
the men wanted.
In order to make such nn organiza
tion effective , however , It will be nec
essary for farmers In every county of
northern Nebraska , from Madison to
the Missouri river on the north and
on the east , nnd to Brown county on
the west , to got together nnd agree to
work' .
One lone man has no chance against
a horsethlef and It Is a futile waste of
money to try to pursue. But with
practically every farmer In the whole
northern part of the state lending his
assistance to pursuit , nnd with the
funds of the organization as a whole
to back them up , the farmers ought to
he able to protect themselves.
Madison county has organized , part
of Wayne county has organized and
PO has Dlxon. It remains for the bal
ance of the northwest to get Into this
plan before horse stealing will stop.
Horses have become valuable and the
rustlers are willing to take desperate
chances in order to get the animals.
THE SAGE MILLIONS.
Mrs. Ruhsol Sage has announced
that the great bulk of the $80,000,000
left to her by her late husband , will
be given away to the worthy poor.
She will seek the poor who , through
no fault of their own , have suffered
misfortunes and are to proud to ask
aid. She will not give money to
churches or to beggars who write let
ters asking for funds , though she will
help churches which are taking care
of the sick. She will only retain
enough to allow her to live comfort
ably , she declares.
And so , by ono means nnd another
In human evolution , the alarm spread
ever the country by yellow magazine
writers a year or so ago to the effect
that within so many years , three or
four mon would own us all , has been
punctured nnd these eighty millions
of cart wheels nro to roll back Into
circulation , by way of the needy poor.
The world must nil ) Its eyes to make
nuro that thin giving away of the gold
accumulated by RuBwrl Sago , Is no
dream It Is almost too much to be
lieve. How many people , left a for
tune of $80,000,000 , would within a few
months announce that that fortune
would bo dispersed through generous
gifts to the poor and unfortunate. It
Bounds easy , but how many would ac
tually come through nnd deliver the
goodB ? It would be hard for the ordi
nary human to part with that fortune
and all that It menus , and to give nway
to the unknown nnd the nflllctcd just
for charity's sake. But after nil , what
better IIBO could como of It nnd what
could bring more gennlno satisfaction
to Mrs. Sago than the happy thought
In her declining years that , though
still amply provided for herself , she
had brought to hundreds and hundreds
of families , honest but unfortunate
and poor , a happiness unknown to
their lives before she came Into view ?
How can the real , true satisfaction
of MrH. Sago at having done some
thing for humankind which has helped
to make the world bettor and happier ,
over ho correctly measured ? By what
market quotations will she bo nblo to
estimate just how great a bargain she
shall have secured when , for a good
sized chunk of her olghty millions , she
has bought the slncercst and deepest
grntlludo that hundreds of human be
ings , men and women llko herself ,
could offer to her ?
More than awestruck by her fame
and wealth , the people whom Mrs.
Russel Sago shall innko happy by the
generous distribution of her money
will love her always from the depth of
their hearts and her name will live In
history as that of a true benefactor of
the human race , a genuinely good and
noble typo of American womanhood.
PRIMARY ELECTION LAWS.
Among other things which will come
up before the Nebraska and.South Da
kota legislatures this winter will bo
the proposition to enact a primary
election law. It Is well , therefore , at
this time , to consider the experiences
of some other states which have al
ready adopted the primary election
laws. Minnesota has had such a law
for six years and , although the law
of that state is not so broad as the
ones which will bo proposed for Ne
braska and South Dakota , because the
Minnesota law does not call for the
primary system In the selection of
state olllcers , yet the following ex
tracts would indicate that Nebraska
and the dlvorco commonwealth would
both do well to look before they leap.
So unsatisfactory has the small pri
mary law of Minnesota been in actual
practice that there is now a strong
sentiment for repeal and it Is pre
dicted by the Minneapolis Journal ,
which was strongly In favor of the
law's adoption , that the law will find
Itself repealed. Some believe that It
could bo brought Into more satisfac
tory action by an amended statute , but
the Journal declares the same faults
would still exist which are now troub
ling the voters of the state.
Following are some of the typical
expressions from prominent Minneso
ta men , as printed in the journal on
this subject :
Benjamin F. Ward : The primary
law Is a fraud , and the sooner It Is
repealed the better. It makes candi
dates a prey to bleeding by grafters
nnd cripples the party organization by
depriving It of money that should be
spent for legitimate campaign work
for the whole ticket. Now It is every
man for himself , and everything Is de
moralized.
.Tamos A. Kellogg : I am against
primary elections and believe the law
should be repealed. It is foreign to
our form of government , and its con
stitutionality may be reasonably doubt
ed. The primary election disinte
grates parties , opens the door to cor
rupt methods , and prohibits , by its
burden of expense , any from being
candidates who have not largo moans
for advertising. It renders the power
of money dominant nnd Is an excre
scence on the body politic.
State Senator J. F. Cnlhoun : It is
too expensive for the people and for
the candidates. It Is a destroyer of
political parties , especially the domi
nant party. In my opinion it must be
repealed or amended , and some other
nominating system adopted.
Judge John H. Steele : The primary
election law Is out of joint with our
form of government. Wo have a rep
resentative government. Wo must
trust our representatives in the city
council , the legislature , In congress ,
nnd even on the supreme bench. We
must place our trust somewhere In
everything. The primary law submits
to the people for their action matters
of vital Importance to the government.
These are often decided without con
sideration , and oftentimes unwisely
because of prejudice or passion
There Is not the opportunity for delib
eration and consideration as In the
convention. The majority rules In
convention , nnd the convention is us
ually made up of men who take an In
terest In politics and In the welfare of
the city and state , as well as of party.
They know men and Issues , and us
ually produce better results. Thoj
are responsible for the nominees and
the party polilces. Under the primary
law there Is not a majority rule , bill
rule by a fractional minority. Our
government Is based on majority rule
The most objectionable thing is the
fact that few men who would make
competent public officials are willing
to go through the excitement and
hardships of a primary campaign and
the general election following. If hon
est In their desire honestly to servo
the public. The tendency of the pri
mary Is to destroy the independence
of the man , to humiliate him and to
cheapen him before the people. It IB
in-Ainorlcan. It creates factions nnd
111 fooling In the party Itself , BO that
when the general election Is held the
enemy Is furnished with plenty of cam
paign material with which to work.
And the Journal , editorially , though
nn old friend of the primary system ,
offers this comment :
The other faults In the system , how
ever , nro Inherent In a direct primary ,
and it Is hard to see how they can bo
avoided. The theory of the law , the
rosy theory whoso praises Imvo been
Bounded far nnd wide , Is that It plac
es the power In the hands of the people
ple themselves.
Observers of politics nro beginning
to think that this Is a piece of grim
liumor. The power Is certainly there ,
but there nro so ninny ways to fool
the people and make them think they
want something , that a genuine ex
pression of sentiment Is seldom se
cured. The victory Is too often to the
longest purse. In a largo constituency
whore the candidate Is known person
ally to a small per cent , of the people ,
the biggest advertiser nnd the man
who hires the most workers has all
the advantage. A man of small means
IB practically prohibited from running.
The primary becomes a sort of free-
for-nll election , In which money Is
spent llko water. Instead of corrupt
ing delegates , the man with the bar
rel reaches out farther to corrupt the
whole body politic. As a means to
ward the end of pure politics the pri
mary cannot bo termed a shining suc
cess.
Another unpleasant result from the
primary Is the way It lines up the
voters within a party on opposite
sides , an alignment which Is likely to
persist In the general election. Under
the convention system voters did not
express themselves Individually as tea
a choice , and wore therefore uncom
mitted and ready to accept the nom
inee with n free mind. Under the pri
mary the voter takes a stand for ono
man and against another , or for or
against a principle , plus n candidate ,
as In our recent city contest. If his
man does not win ho Is 111 pleased.
Having voted against the nominee plus
the Issue once , It conies natural to do
It again at the polls. All that seems
necessary to defeat n candidate at the
polls Is to Involve him In a hot primary
election contest.
The primary law has been tried In
Minneapolis four times , and In the
state at large three times. In Its'pres-
jut form It has been well tested , and
t has given less satisfaction at each
trial. It may survive another session
or the legislature without serious
change as the result of a deadlock ,
jut a duty is certainly presented to
our lawmakers by popular opinion.
Let them either amend the law along
some rational plan to cure Its most
lagrant evils , nnd give It another trial ,
or abolish It and go back to the con
vention system with a direct vote for
delegates.
It Is said by some who have studied
the question that the primary law In
Nebraska would throw the political
power of the state Into the cities , at
: he expense of the country. It may
prove wise to enact a primary election
law of some sort in Nebraska , but It
will do well for the legislators to study
carefully the experiences of other
states before drafting the measure.
