It will not onTy de termine to whom the support of Ne braska's deipg'atlon shall go in the great national nominating conven tions, but is also fraught with deep significance aa to the future of the commonwealth. Five amendments to tbe state con stitution are to run the first gaunt let of popular approval, and if eventually adopted will greatly alter our fundamental law. They aim to establish the Initiative and referea dum, to abolish half of our state elections, to put' tbe state Institutions under a Board of Control, to give measure of borne rule to our munici palities snd to Increase tbs pay of our legislators. In this same primary all political parties will indicate a preference for United States senator, between whom tbe voters will decide In November. They will nominate candidates for governor, and all the executive state offices. They will nominate candi dates .for congress. Tbey will noml nate . complete legislative tlcketa. They will nominate randldatea for county attorney, assessor and com missioner, and here In Omaha for School board and Water board. More places are to be filled, and the ballot Is longer than ever before In a primary election. It Is a severe test on the voter, and tbe efficiency of our election machinery; and re turns will teacb many lessons. Lack of Lifeboats. The Titanic, It had barely enough lifeboats aboard .' to satisfy th London 'Board of Ttade's outside requirement for a vessel of 10,000 tons. No schedule of require ments Is made for-a vesaet larger than that. In wblch'the Ill-fated ship belonged. But In abort, there wer not half enough lifeboats, yet tbe mammoth liner could well have ac commodated a sufficient number. But the vice president of tb White Star Lin company and tb captain of the Tltnnlo regarded th - Ship ss "uniinksble." Tbey wer both on record as saying ao.

President Taft has reappointed tbe collector of customs st Salem, Mass who Is a rampant Roosevelt worker, doing all he can for the colonel and tterefore, against the president. Some of th collector's friends had assumed, aa bia term of office drew near, tbat because of his radica Koosevelt proclivities. President Taft would decline to reappoint hi but the president. It appears, had taken no pains to ascertain what the man's presidential preferences were He was concerned only with knowing the collector's fitness for tbe office, snd bow well he bad conducted it. That determined. It made no differ enc to tbe big man In the White House whether the collector admired blm or Roosevelt the more. And yet even Colonel Roosevelt, himself, goes over th country de- clsring tbat President Taft ia delib erately using tba patronage club, originally known as th "big stick,' to further bis campaign, and all the Roosevelt claquers echo tb ml statement of fact. President Tsft says: The truth ia. there has never boea time with which I am familiar In the history of politics In this country when the political support of the federal offlce- holdara, such aa It Is, has been so divided and at no time baa the federal patrons- xerctsed lees lafluescs bt the national convention than It will la the one to be held In Cnlcacs. But that truth, so clearly stated. probably will not ' even affect tbe president's detractors In their sys tematic schem of misrepresentation.

April J8.-TO the Editor of the Bee: Malicious stories circulated for campaign purposes have made It appear that I had moved my goods and my fam ily away from Omaha with the intention of making my home elsewhere. Another tory equally ridiculous Is thst only sfter learning of my endorsement by the Ctrl sens' union did I decide to return home snd file for commissioner.
