find way by which they tan label I
candidates on the primary ballot for
convention delegates, with designa
tions of their preferred choice for
president, and presumably, also,
their choice for vice president. If
they have any.
. Whether It would be desirable or
not to label the delegates on the pri
mary ballot, certainly no such pro
cedars was contemplated, or even
thought of, by the law-makers, nor
ran it be read Into the law by the
otmoat stretch ot liberal construc
tion. Our presidential preference
primary lew does not require any
one running for delegate to run In
the Interest of snyons else, but as
sumes, aad assumes correctly, that
whoever la chosen to represent Ne
braska In the respective national
conventions, will abide by the in
struction conveyed through the pref
erence vote for president and for
vice president Bui the law was not
made for one political party, or for
a single presidential campaign. The
law does not discriminate between
republicans, democrats, populists,
prohibitionists and socialists, and It
makes ao difference as to binding
fores between Instructions for presi
dent snd for vice president.
The Nebraska law does not re
quire a candidate for delegate to
have any presidential or vies presi
dential preference, ot his own at all,
but assures blm the asms advantage
ot position on the ballot enjoyed by
very other candidate tor delegate.
One ot the devices specially ordained
to prevent such advantages, or dis
advantages. Is the rotation scheme
by which each name filed Is entitled
to be the top line tinder the respec
tive office headings on Just as many
ballots aa the nam of any competi
tor. The rotation requirement can
not possibly be observed under any
group system for delegations.
It Just happens that tha proposal
to label the delegates presents even
mors complications on lbs demo
cratic aids than on the republican
aide, for there the multiplicity of
rr candidates for president Is greater,
$ It is to bs hoped ao mors cold (nd the alignment of candidates tor
delegates . lsss distinguished. An
attempt to label tbs democratic en
try list, especially where many of
tbs candidates for delegate are
rather for no one, but against some
one, would resemble ths solution at
a Chinese puisle.
The real trouble Is that ws bavs
a half-baked primary law, , ushed
through ts Isgjslaturs without
careful scrutiny, aad la complete Ig
norance of the intricacies which tbs
ballot thug provided for would

The Automobile.
A business that has grown from
practically nothing to 1200.000,000
within twelve years, thst has touched
the public In point of service In so
many ways that It would be both
difficult snd tedious to catalogue
them, deserves some attention.
The automobile Industry is surely
the early triumph of the century.

thsn a toy at the beginning of the
twentieth century is now a leading
factor In the Industrial, commercial
and social life of the people. Whether
for business or pleasure, the motor
car Is doing a work that has far ex
ceeded the expressed thought of the
moat daring of Its earlier promoters.
Its future may hardly be guessed at
beyond the obvious conclusion that
Its sphere will constantly expand.
Omaha la much Interested in the
growth of the trade, because iu has
become one of the chief points for
the distributing of the output of the
factories. Builders ot machines
early recognised the shipping and
other trading advantages ot this city,
and the result has been the building
up of a trade that la far greater than
those not familiar with It conceive.
Branch depots snd headquarters for
great factories have been located

The Power of Ifeg-ttive Forcev

ment, old systems have been swept
away, reforms promulgated aaa

America, "where persecuted lib
erty fauad a peaceful home." Is the
most majestic monument to the
righteous wrath of revolt against
tha abase ot privilege that haa ever
been reared. Republics everywhere,

Philadelphia Record: At a dinner to
Lord Lister a speaker said: "My lord. It

by antiseptic surgery Is Incalculable.
Sprlngflr'.d Republican: It has been
said ot the late I.ord Lister that he saved
more lives than any other man ot our
time, and at least It Is true thst the
methods and principles with which his
name Is Imttssolubly associated has saved
more lives than any other single Inven

Philadelphia Ledger: Service such as
hla transcends any ordinary means of
appreciation,' and while Lister was made
to realise while he lived the estimation

raries, his actual place in the world of
science can only be accorded him by the
generations that are to come. What that
will be there Is today no real certainty.
