A Trifle Mixed But Still
Nebraska has by law provided for
direct primary nomination for less
than ten years, but In that time has
experimented with about every va
riety ot primary that has been de
vised. After declaring 'the primary
a failure, Governor Morehcad, with
tho assistance of tho local democratic
newspaper organ, Is trying to find a
halfway station by which candidates
for certain particularly designated
offices should bo named by the peo
ple, and afl the rest by convention
system. To show bow confused they
are they propose direct primaries
only for governor, for supremo Judge
and for members ot the national and
statu legislatures. This leaves out
tho lieutenant governor who may be
come governor, and also Includes sur
promo court Judges who, undor the
new dispensation, are not to go on
tho ticket as party nominees at all,
Remember that tho direct primary
law In Nebraska was given to un as a
piece of constructive legislation, and
that every time tho democrats havo
patched it they havo made It worse.
Dearth of Naval Recruits.
Far moro Interesting than tho re
ported lock ot sufficient officers to
man Amorlcan battleships in the
event of war Is the Navy depart
ment's Inquiry as to the possibility of
recruiting for tbo ranks from tho
high school graduates. of the country.
Times have changed, when the gov
ernment finds It necessary to go In
search of youths for Us naval and
military lines, but such a nocosstty
hoa existed for eovornl years, and
now evidently Is ncarlng a point of
really serious concern.
While tho condition Is duo largely
to a general betterment of the times,
multiplying desirable opportunities
for boys and young men In other
raoro remunerative fields ot labor, It
is also partially due to more rigid
terms ot enlistment. Tho govern
ment has very wisely raised Its stand-
r4a in army and navy In this leng
period ot unbrc-kee peace, becoming
more critical In Its discrlwlnatlon
than formerly. This has resulted, of
Course, in some improvement In the

possibility in this direction the terms

riiero Is no denying tho fact that
tho meager wage of the recruit keops

Patriotism does not now generally

itstment in the army or navy means
to many young men, To be sure, for
few there are opportunities for

Disappointing-.
After taking all that voluminous
testimony In the lobby Inquiry, the
eongreeolefial Investigating commit
tee is to report the facts elicited
without recommendation. The only
possible explanation la that this In
quiry, Instigated, by the democrats
with a view to uncovering republican
rascality, has proved disappointing
to them, because the only member of
congress seriously scqrehed turns out
to bo a democratic hicmbor from tho
Chicago stock yards' district.
The least that should come out ot
this inquiry should be a wove to
clean the skirts of congress by move
to unseat the ouly congressman in
extrieahly enmeshed In the tangled
eh. To atop with merely a sum-
marleea recital ot what the commit
tell has heard will saver very much ot

The Talue et an Iioa,

National Primaries
Springfield (Mass.) Republican (Ind.):
Presidential primaries are sure to enjoy
a boom, now that President Wilson has
given such a strong endorsement to them.
Senator Cummins of Iowa Is pleased be
cause ho Introduced a presidential prl
martes bill about a year ago. Mr. Roose
velt's following may be depended upon to
favor such legislation, and the opposition
is not likely to be very fierce. In some
form, presidential primaries are evidently
comln8 fast.
New York Sun (Ind.): It la particularly
to be nqtcd that although there Is not a
Wore in, the constitution or tho united
States empowering congress to make laws
on the subject the president deems the
matter so very simple that he urges "the
prompt enactment of legislation" to carry
his Ideas Into effect. For sheer political

passed. In tho vulgar parlance of poli
ticians It is "gull" IndeeU
New York World (dem.)t WJth due ire
epoct to a great and truly democratic
president, wo shall continue to think that
on the whole it is best to leave to the
people themselves tho method ot nom
inating candidates for president without
Interference by congress or any other
federal authority. The genius for popu
lar government which created the na
tlonal convention Is adequate to the tasV
of abolishing the evils which have de
veloped, In the national convention.
Philadelphia Ledger (Ind.): It' Is far
less easy for chicanery to dominate a na
tlonal convention than for a demsgogue
to go up and down the land before a prl
mary election and secure vote. There Is
Infinitely less opportunity for a danger
ous man to win a nomination at the
hands ot 1.090 convention delegates who
are watched by 96,060,0)0 people than for
an unscrupulous Job hunter to carry on
by use of vas't wealth a personal cam

should spend millions to get votes. Rut
no plutocrat could beat Abraham Lincoln
In a convention of representative dele

weapon ever placed In the hands of rich
men for the control of elections. Handl

ever great, could possibly compete with a
multimillionaire.

SACRAMENTO. Cal., Dec. e.-To' the
Editor of Tho Deo: In your letter box of
November IS a certain Mr. Telham from
Lincoln, In criticizing Dr, Conn's letter
In The Dec. said that he, as a resident
for many years In Russia, knows that
the Jew is mistreated over there from a
racial standpoint, but not for his re
ligion. Now, Mr, Pelham, when you lived
in Russia, Instead ot learning those con
ditions, you got poisoned with the antl-
Bemitlo air, which Is prevailing there,
and which you are now trying to spread
In this country.
We that were born, raised and suffered
In Russia, that wonderful land of yours,
know that Jews are only admltcd 6 per
cent to high schools and universities,
but when Uey Join the Christlsn church
they are admitted to any Institution and
aro even exempted from tuition fees, A
Jew Is not allowed to hold any govern
ment, civil or military, office unless he
becomes a Christian. A Jew Is not al
lowed to live all over Russia, except In
tho territory assigned by the govern
ment, unless' he becomes a Christian.
Is this a racial discrimination or a re
ligious discrimination? I would advise
Mr. Pelham to go back to Russia and
study the conditions there without any
prejudice, then ho will be able to toll
why tho Jew Is mistreated in Russia.

STICKERS.
The Red Cross stickers havo arrived
To help to fight bacteria:
They will travel north to Baffin Bay
And east as far as Syria;
The zealous folks will buy them
And lick their gummy backs
And the little bugs will travel ateng
Blind baggage "These is facts."
The Red Cross etlckers are bring sold
iu ni.ni wiu lima germa;
The mocey that they bring will .help
Make the enemy come to tonus:
But from the tongue that licks 'em
May hop some spry microbe
And the Red Cross stamp wl carry hlnj
Around thla great big gjobe.
The sealous microbe flgbWs
Who sell the Red Cross stickers
Should find some way to Insure them
Against the tongues of the lickers;
For .otherwise It seems to me
This goodxaune Is frustrated
And tuberculosis boosted along
Instead of exterminated.
