for auch a primary by law, and the

OMAHA, Dec. 2, lHll.-Hon. I. D. Kvans,
Ktnraaw, Neb.: My Dear Sir I to
acknowledge receipt of, and to thank you
for, your lettrr with reference to th
queatlon of a presidential preference
primary, and encloae a copy of a letter
which I wrote to Senator Hourne nearly
two month ago on the aama subject. I
am also enclosing an article contributed
by niu to the Review of Review lat
winter on the Oregon primary law.
perusal of which may direct your at
tention to aome of th difficultly still In
the way of a nation-wld primary on
the tame plan.
By my efforts In part, the call for the
republican convention Issued four year
a co wit o framed a to recognise elec
tion of delegate by direct primary In
thus atats where the law ao required.
The national committee, however. In
fiamlng the convention rail Is limited to
th authority conferred on It by the
national convention by which It war
created,' and the laat national convention
unanimously adopted a report of It com
mittee on rjii specifying th number of
delegate to be apportioned to each atate,
territory and Insular potaeealna aa Well
as the tlma and manner of their appoint
ment. To what extant theae rule are
directory, rather than mandatory, la for
the committee to decide. While I take
It that the committee could not, for ex
ample, change th apportionment, I be
lieve the call should again recognise the
credential of delegates elected by di
rect vote Instead of by state convention
from state that have ao legislated on
th subject even though the rulea re
ferred to provld for convention-elected
delegate only.
To require direct primary election
everywhere, or Instruction of all delegate
by a presidential preference vota, would
neceaalut uniformity, or , at ltaat no
discrimination, but there ts no machinery
to conduct auch ' a primary In moat
aoutbern, and many northern, atate to
nay nothing of Alaska, the Philippine,
Hawaii and Porto Rloo. My own per
sonal opinion la that all the committee
can properly do, or should do, is to make
It permlaaive for each state or territorial
organisation to provide any fair method
of chooalng delegate that it may ana fit,
and to hav their delegate Inatructed
by primary, or by convention, or be left
unlnstructed, aa th republican of the
respective state may desire. Thl opinion,
of course, U predicated upon the existing
lack of preference vote primary (escala
tion In all but six state, and th present
inability et th committee to organise and
conduct a national primary hwtlon for

How Far . Bight it 8mootf
That la a mercilessly candid state
ment which Senator Smoot of Utah
makes with respect to congress In
tention of playing politics and put
ting the president In the hole this
winter. It is correct? Has Senator
Smoot summoned ' a little more
courage than others, and called a
spade a spade, laying- bare the truth
for the truth's sake, letting the con
sequences take care of themselves,
or has he gone further In denounc
ing agitators and reformers than
th circumstances warrant?
It Is an Interesting situation he
presents. He says:
What la congress going to do at th
coming session T 1 answer promptly and
frankly. Play politics from beginning to
end. Kvery recommendation made by
President Taft to eongree will be consid
ered not a t whether ita enactment
Into law will be a good thing for th
country, but for th effect It would hav
upon um individual' candidacy for th
prealdency. or the result It might hav
upon th opposition party' presidential
candidate. XV m must remember that the
political fight now being mad by In
urgency 1 not for principle, but for
men tor office and political power.
This much we know, . that from
the beginning to the ending of the
recent extra session of congress a
siuatea ana persistent errort was
waged to "put Taft in a hole" and
nut lor wnicn the extra session
would have lasted about one month
Instead of more than four. Senator
8 moot may exceed the facts In lay
ing all the trouble at present to the
muck-raker and his votaries, for
there is no gainsaying that "big
business" had badly misbehaved and
Deeded correction. At the same
time, that the situation has been
and Is being unduly exploited by
self-seeking propagandists, cannot
be denied. And that hurta. We are
not going to be able to cure one
abuse with another. If instead of
playing politics and trying to put
Taft In a hole, all elements would
throw away selfish considerations
and. unite at the cemlng session of
congress for the country's Rood, we
would get pomptlilng done for which
nobody would have to apologize.
Clearing' the Truck for Alaska.
One good result of Secretary
KlRlier's Alaska trip Is already evl
dent In the decision of Attorney
Rrandeis for the bouse committee on
Investigation of the Interior depart
ment's expenditures, to abandon the
Inquiry Into the Controller lay case
The decision Is made as the direct
result of Secretary Fisher's findings
and reports.
The chief effect of continuing the
investigation would have been fur
ther to retard action by congress on
Alaska's case, a matter which presses
with Imperative urgency upon con
gress this winter. With this "In
quiry" out of the way, congress will
have small excuse for not getting
right down to business and proceed
ing to enact laws offering relief for
the Alaskan situation.
All that Is Implied In Mr. Hrandeis'
purpose to sidetrack this invenL1ga
tion and give Secretary Fisher's
recommendation the right-of-way en
courages the hope for n sane disposi
tion at last of these demands, about
and over which so much tlmo and
energy have been expended. Secre
tary Fisher must have got down to
the tap root of the situation. He Is
a live conservationist, yet of the sane
order, who believes In business more
than billingsgate, and, undoubtedly,
the secretary is working In closest
coincidence with tho president in all
bis recommendations.
A",t Line for Men Who Work.
Chicago has an organization call
ing Itself the ' Antl-45-Years-Age-Limlt-League,"
whoso object Is to
fight the alleged rule of crowding
men above that age out of employ
ment. The organization Is Incor
porated and assumes the air of seri
ousness. It is of some standing in
point of time, but remained inactive
until recently a man advertised in
the newspapers that "the best wo
man In the world" was starving to
death because be could not get a
Job.
One prefers, even If this is a gen
uine case, to believe that it Is not
typical, but quite sporadic. Yet
Chicago is not the only Industrial
center where tD Is trend of prefer
ence is'runnlng against the man of
advanced years and toward the
younger worker. It may not be done
to the extent of deliberately turning
men off, but that it is done In the
matter of sifting forces and filling
vacancies cannot be doubted, whether
the exact limit of 45 years Is rig
idly observed or not. Some rail
roads, however, and probably other
Industries, look for their mechanical
forces among men much younger
than 4 5 years, and yet at the same
time they are not letting off all their
older men. , ' - , '
. The prospect Is one; not entirely
without Us tragic aspect for the man
dependent entirety on Ms dally wage.
It should have a cohering effect upon
him. . Industry could ill afford, how
ever,! to hold out such a poor prom
ise or reward for faithful youth, and
the tlma must not come when contin
ued years of good service and ex
perience do not count as factors in
favor of the old employe, no matter
how much industry must look to div
idends. Here again this country Is
brought to see the necessity of some
stable form of old-age Insurance.
The astounding collapse of the Mc
Namara case will come nioro nearly
to being a complete triumph when
the originators of the dynamiting
scheme and the sources of financial
supplies are disclosed. Others be
sides these three men the McNa
maras and McManlgal are Impli
cated and would have to share re
sponsibility If brought to justice.
Organised labor, whose national head
confesses to having been imuosed
upon, owes it to Itself to do all It can
to locate all the culprits and shake
oft the whole brood.
Superintendent J. C. Randall of
the state reformatory at St. Cloud,
Minn., was one of the prominent
delegates to the recent Prison con
gress In Omaha. According to a re
port of an official investigation made
by the state into his official conduct,
be recently brought a recalcitrant
boy to time by giving him the water
cure, turning the hose on the lud
until he did what the superintendent
wanted him to do. That was one of
She reform methods not emphasized
at the Prison congress, however.
The Lincoln Journal again reminds
us that several constitutional amend
ments are to be voted on In Nebrabka
during the coming yc-ar. It will take
more than one reminder to focus
public attention on these amend
ments sufficiently to secure intelli

OMAHA, Dec. 2.-To the Editor of The
Bee However well me may think of
our city and of Its advancement and pro
gressive conditions looking to the welfare
of Its people, we nevertheless may lerrn
from other cltle who have made spe
cial etudlea of certain features of mu
nicipal life and from them learn certain
Ideas which might be profitably used in
our city.
Kansas City lias a board of publlo wel
fare, composed of patriotic cltltena who
servo without s.-lary, the object of which
Is to seek the root of evils In municipal
life and apply corrective measures so
far aa Is possible. Employes of the board
are paid from a subscription fund. It hns
department?, as follows:
The general office research bureau
association, service department, depart
ment for the homeless and unemployed,
welfare loan agency municipal reform
department, women's reformatory and
parol department. As I understand It,
the board of public welfare grew out of
the board of pardons and paroles with in
creased power, enabling It to dent with
all problems committed to it. Hinco the
beginning of the board of public welfare
In April, 1!I0, it has pardoned 4,000 indi
viduals, 75 per cent of whom were re
stored to the ranks of useful and pro
ductive cltlxens; M0 are now on parole
and are earning an average of flO a week,
which Is turned over to their families.
Formerly men and women were kept In
a workhouse In Idleness; now they are
trained In habitH of Industry. Kansas
City hag a municipal farm of 133 acres
where small offenders are made to work
who were formerly dead expense and
trained 1n Idleness; but the new systejn
reap its best results tn its character
building and encouragement of the indi
vidual, whereas under the old system
deep resentment toward the government
and Boclety followed their Imprisonment.
Under the new system when they are re
leased from Imprisonment they have
learned a trade and are strengthened in
body and mind for the future.
It waa found that 25 to 35 per cent of
the cases of unemployed were th result
of lack of work to do, greatly due to In
efficiency, Htsslpatton and hlftlessness
and other conditions over which the per
son haa no control. During certain parts
of the year seven to eight thousand em
ployea of packing house are out of em
ployment and want results frequently.
Under auch conditions, good workmen
turn tramp and become unfitted foi
future labor. Kansas City haa a rock
quarry to relieve hls situation where em
ployment haa been given to Z.sOO persons
for a total of 16,000 days, the cost of the
experiment being $15,000 and the amount
received, $13,500.
There 1 also provision made for relief
against loan agents. It Is said that In
New York City 30,000 workmen pay trib
ute to loan agents; also 2,500 school
teachers pay 130 to 180 per cent interest.
Kansas City has a municipal loan agency
at work and $50,000 has been loaned at
rate of IVi to 2 per cent per month.
Provision Is also made in Kansas City
looking to the housing conditions and
abolishing of the alums and reducing the
evil of disease. Th city 1 divided into
Ix districts with a superintendent in
each. The dance hall is carefully con
sidered and provision mad to protect
young girls from the dangers of these
places to which they go a the only place
for fun and amusement. Aa ha been aaid
by one of the worker: "Our work has
been to relieve humanity, to bring the
contented and well-to-do in touch witn
the great, throbbing heart of the despair
ing, the needy and infirm, to ' relieve
misery, to build up hopes, to put down In
justice; to bring about th realisation of
the brotherhood of man and the father
hood of God."
One of the most Important features of
the work of th board of public welfare
Is child welfare. On November 3, 1911, an
exhibit was given in Convention hall.
which waa a revelation to those who
have never studied the question and the
possible result that might be achieved
by energetlo labor of public-spirited ti ti
led. The exhibit wa a much to In
struct aa to warn and encourage, for all
Intelligent philanthropy must be based
upon knowledge, a foundation upon which
Sympathy find It easier to build. The
exhibit might be classed under the follow
ing heada: '
1. Health; babies' hospital wards, dlt
kitchen, pur food exhibits, rollk sta
tions, baby camps, ward for. crippled
children, a dental clinic and X-ray
machine.
2. Home; a model nursery, giving sug
gestion to parent on th fitting out of
a nursery; boys' workshop, home library,
good and bad housing conditions.
3. (Schools ; school room classes of an
Interesting, nature where parent could
see how their children ar taught;
classes in cooking, sewing, woodwork
nd th like.
4. Recreation: model playground with
suggestive plan of playground as
sociation and park commissioners, also
showing other investigations of moving
pictures, dance halls and other amuse
ments. The boy scout formed a part
of the exhibit Kansas City ha about
twelve playgrounds under th control of
th park commissioners. Each haa a
superintendent who instructs in physical
exercise, moral and habits. It ha also
public baths, on or more, consisting of
a spray attachment to hydrant In a con
gested part of the city where in hot
weather boy and girls, men and womeu,
dressed In their old clothing, find
pleasure and health.
i. Settlement and . educational move
ment under'1 which were included t tie
Young Men' Christian association, the
Young Women's Christian association
and various other organisations wnich
work, to enrich .th life of the individual
and th community.- '
6. Churches; showing what - churches
and tiuuday schools ar doing for
children; charities and corrections, show
ing what haa been don and may be
djn to car for delinquent, dependent
and deficilve children, including many
photographs and pictures, showing th
work of th Juvenile court and proba
tion officer.
7, Industrial condition; showing con
dition of children In th city.
Much more could be said mm to what
our sister city is doing and Intends to do
by means of its public-spirited . cltlsens
aided by It city government. Now, it
veins to me that a city like Omaha, with
so many 'public-spirited cltlien.i, so pro
gressive in various Hues of achievement,
end which ha th conditio ' of tl
citit and which wer fouad la Kansas
City, might well consider th movement
now going on In, Kansas City and tsk
steps to not only profit by It but adopt
it in o far aa th plan Is applicable
and perhaps add new features with newer
sad bolter result.

. New York Tribune: If Mr. Bryan Is not
mor diplomatic In hi effort to promote
a Clark-Underwood feud the genial Pike
county statesman will not deliver those
votes which are to start the Bryan stam
pede In the democratic national conven
tion. Pittsburgh Dlwpatch: The chairman of
the democratic national committee as
serts with confidence thut the democrat
have a sure thtng of the election -next
year. That Is recognised as a regular
occupation of the national party chair
man for about two weeka before and
perhaps 12 hours after the election, and It
will probably do as much good now as 11
months hence.
Bt. Louis Republic: Worse and worse!
It is now raid that Wall street Is not only
Infatuated with Roosevelt, but that It
longs for La Kollette also. Its love for
Roosevelt arises from his recent attempt
to save the steel trust from prosecution.
Its affection for !,a Follrtte Is probably
due to the revelation Just made In that
gentleman's autobiography that he .ad
mired Matk Hanna almost as much as he
did Hob Tngersoll.
