Over in Iowa.
The official roturns of tho primary hold ln
Iowa a few weeks ago to mako nominations for
United States senator conformably with the new
direct election amendment to the federal con
stitution, and for other offices, are now availa
ble. Tho total voto cast for senator ln the
three principal political parties Is as follows:
Republican 140,277
Democratic , 76,413
Progressive 5,159
In the 1012 eloctlon the voto polled In Iowa
for the presidential candidates of tho same re
spective parties was:
Republican (Tart).,.. 119,805
Democratic (Wilson) , .US, 328
Projeresslvo (Roosevelt) 11, Jt9
Incidentally, It should be mentioned that
the vote in the recent Iowa primary was W per
cent of the total voto polled at the preceding
presidential election, and that by comparison
tho republicans show a gain of 17 per cent as
against a democratic loss of 58 per cent, and a
progressive Iosh of 96 per cent.
An Historic Sight.
The government estimates 70,000,000 bueh
cln of wheat will be harvested In Nebraska this
year, which Is 25,000,000 bushels above the
avorago for five years. It estimates that more
than $G 1,000, 000 worth of small grain will bo
grown by the farmers of our state. Present
conditions Justify corresponding estimates of
corn and alfalfa. Altogether, as prospects now
aro, Nebraska is In for a banner year on the
farm. It will bo fcn historic year, a year of
broken records, of surpassing agricultural and
landscape beauty.
Those with a prldo In their state should not
miss tho opportunity of vlowlng It as thus ar
rayed ln Its most magnificent crop garment. It
was never more picturesque. From the undu
lating hills of the eastern river shape to tho
westorn boundary, from north to south, Ne
braska presents a vlow never beforo excelled,
If oquallod, all things considered. Nebraska
has novor gono in much for its claims of oconlc
beauty, and yet, ovon If ono confined his vlow
to tho eastern tier of counties, he could not with
truth say that tho state hou no such claim to
urgo. It would be hard to find a more beau
tiful and plcturesquq spectacle, for example,
than the green and yellow-clad hills, tho orchard
and vlno-tompled uplands of our own and ad
Joining counties. But go out for yourself and
soo; do not miss It, oven though a similar sight
may bo presontod every year. Then remember
that boneath the superficial beauty lies the
wealth of an empire, tho kingdom of agricul
tural, horticultural and llvo stock riches, which
gives practical worth1 to appearance.
Vardaraan and Jefferson.
Opposing an appropriation of $50,000 for
the use of the government In entertaining for
eign guests at the Ban Francisco-Panama expo
sition, Senator Vardaman of Mississippi or
elalms: "Tho world has gono mad on tho ques
tion of society. I wish wo could go back to tho
dlgnlflod simplicity of tho days when Thomas
Jofferson occupied the White House."
And suppose we could, could anyone imag
ine Thomas Jofferson, the statesman, In sym
pathy or co-operation with Vardaman, the
demagogue: Would it be possible to think of
the great Jefferson stooping to oppose such an
appropriation with the effect of humiliating his
nation lp tho eyes of the world? That $60,000
is nn extravagant expenditure to a country like
ours. Is not claimed. But that Is not the point of
Vardaman's stage play, as everyone knows., He
Is not troubled about the money tho government
spends; what he Is anxious for Is to make him
elf seen and hoard ln public.
The latest library Plan.
For twenty-five yearn Andrew Carnegie has
been giving money to erect library buildings,
and, yet, according to tho federal commissioner
of education, 70 per cent of tho people of the
United States are without access to good
libraries. In that period also other libraries
aside from thoso assisted by Mr. Carnegie have
been established. These factB constitute the
best argument in favor of the proposal to induce
Mr. Carnegie to Invest $100,000,000 more In
libraries for the smaller communities of the
country. Another interesting point brought out
In this connection Is the seeming difficulty Mr.
Carnegie Is encountering la his offort to die
poor, which effort this generous donation
would measurably promote.
Presumably there be those to see in this
colossal boquest, should the great iron master
mako It, only another wholesale effort on his
part at "controlling the educational system of
the country." So Jong as the vaat majority of
lational Americans perceive no such object or
Indication or It, this need not hinder the prog
ress of tho move. Such a control would be im
possible oven If attempted by any one man, and
why any man should wish to make the
attempt Is equally as hard to mako out. Re
gardloss of the source of the money there ap
pears no good reason why the country as well
as the city should not havo Its libraries within
rnach of all the people.
Grappling With Vice.
The Chicago Tribune calls attention to the
striking difference ln tho methods employed
here and abroad for the suppression of vice. In
European countries, so It reminds us, regulation
of vice la a matter of police routine, while with
us it is a matter of public agitation, In Eu
ropean countries the police have cortaln set
rules to which the underworld characters must
strictly adhere, no that publto decency may be
maintained ; ln tho United States, citizens them
selves are frequently compelled to band to
gether In a crusade for decency and respecta
bility. Among the unhealthy effects of our
method, routing vice with a brass band, with
mass meetings and public hearings opens the
eyes of many otherwise Ignorant of its exist
ence, and curiosity swells the stream of vice as
much as depravity.
What is wanted is effective suppression with
out public advertisement, but bow this can bo
bad la not explained. It Is in truth the un
solved part of the problem In which, it strikes
us, this difference must bo observed, that Eu
ropean countries make regulation their object,
while we aim at suppression. Regulation may
be accomplished by police rules, but suppression
can never be had except by general public co
operation nor without the aid ot constant
publicity.

NORTH IXWP, Neb., July S.-To tho
Kdltor of Tho Deo: On Juno 23, 1914, rho
republicans of Custor county, ln conven
tion assembled, said:
We condemn tho last legislature for Its
wanton waste ot public money ln appro
priating ts.354,l3, ot which amount Cuater
county must pay 1115,704.
In tho last days of tho session many
members had gone homo, being excused.
Hero Is a, point which most people hava
not looked Into, A quorum waa not pres
ent, but business went on Just the same.
They hava a way of avoiding the law
and do business without a quorum. They
make a motion to suspend the rules and
voto by acclamation, and therefore no
yea and nay vote being recorded, and no
member calling for that vote, by agree
ment, the record are mndo ts show a
quorum, although a few members only
may bo passing bills.
Under thoso circumstances Senator
Ollls, now a candidate for railway com
missioner on the democratic ticket, waa
holding the legislature In a, deadlock for
several days on the subject of university
removal, While the deadlock was on tho
water-power fellows verc incessantly at
work, and the Infamous senate file No, 14,
after having been defeated a half dozen
times, was passed, and no one knew how
It was amended. Then came thu J,600,0O)
university consolidation bill, which waa
also Illegally passed by tho same suspen
sion of rules. Addlntr to this larga sum
the university expenses, havo Custer
county republicans time to figure that,
almost one-third of the state taxation
goes to tho university end lesa than B per
cent of tho peop'o derive any benefit
from the Institution, except to rend that
Nebraska has a star foot ball team? What
do you think those same legislators did
when a bill was Introduced appropriating
J26.000 by which to make a thorough In
vestigation and find the cost of Improv
ing some of tho best water-power sites
on tho Loups, Niobrara and lower Platte
for power purposes? They sat there and
voted It down under the corporation lash.
Tho writer of this article waa there and
aaw tho whole game. The people of Ne
braska would like to know whose senator
waa Instrumental In the "wanton waste
ot "public money?"
The whole thing should be explained.
Bills are passed by acclamation when
membera would not daro pass them by
tho yea and nay vote. They are afraid
of tho record. One ot our troubles Is that
whan we get a pork-barrel on the list wo
can never get rid ot It. Delenda oat

Simple Life for Bryan
Bcport is that Commoner Will Retire to
Privacy of Farm Life After March 4, 1910.
(Washington Correspondence of Baltimore ZTewa.)
Iqalilr Tip nn Ilrnn'a 1'lnns.
William Jennings Bryan, aecretrry of state, will
retire from public life after March 4, 1918. This In
formation was obtained by tho Newa correspondent
from a close personal friend of the premier.
Not only Is It stated that tho secretary has given
up all hope of being elected to tho presidency, but
that his first taste of life as an administrative offi
cial has convinced him that ho does not want a sec
ond one. In this, It la saserted on good authority,
tho aeoretary waa largely Influenced by hla wife, who
has become moro and moro Insistent that he retire
from tho political arena.
Already, it la stated, tho secretary has made hla
plans accordingly, and, while ho will probably con
tinue for somo years on the Chautauqua circuit, In
season, he will devote himself principally after 1916
to a cultivation ot hla broad acres In Florida and
elsewhere.
During tho early daya of tho Wilson admlnlstrn
tlon it waa predicted that if President Wilson did
not deslro to succeed himself the secretary of state
would bo tho next democratlo candidate, trusting to
win In tho time of democratlo prosperity what he
could not attain In tho lean years that preceded the
downfall of tho republican party, It waa even whis
pered that the president In return for the strenuous
fight which Bryan made In the Baltimore convention
to obtain tho nomination for him, would throw his
support only to Bryan In 1918.
Political HtrniKth Una Wnnrd.
The succeeding sixteen months havo done much
to change this aspect. Even Bryan'a olosest friends
admit that aa tho head of tho Department of State
tho premier haa not been a big success. They realize,
too, that tho criticisms that havo been heaped upon
him for his lecturing, for his part in the handling
of tho Mexican situation and for his part ln framing
the Nlcaraguan treaty have had thetr effect: and
that, while ho still haa hosts ot admirers who will
always bo willing to turn out to applaud him aa an
orator, he haa lost strength as a presidential possi
bility. In Justice to Bryan, however, It must bo said that
ho Is no more responsible for the administration's for
eign policy than Is the president It would not Ira
going too far to say that most of tha Important movos
In this Mexican controversy, as well aa the entire
policy with respect to tho Panama tolls, wore planned
by tho man sitting ln the White House, It Is ex
tremely doubtful whether Bryan at any time has alto
gether approved of the surrender of the free-tolls
pledge In tho Baltimore platform, particularly Inas
much as ho waa chairman of tho committee which
drafted the platform.
It can likewise bo said with accuracy that the
secretary of stato has thus far completely disproved
tho predictions made by his enemies ln the party
that ho would refuse to knucklo under to President
Wilson on matters of legislative policies. President
Wilson himself haa taken occasion to publicly ex
press his appreciation of the devotion which Bryan
has given him during the present administration. Un
questionably It waa largely duo to tho Influence which
the Commoner exerted over western and southern
democrats ln congress that the currency and tarifl
legislation was put through.
Opens Field for Speculation.
Tho evident determination of the secretary to re
tire from publlo life leaves the field of speculation
open aa to whom President Wilson will select as tho
party nominee ln 1916 If he himself does not run.
There seems but llttlo doubt that with the influences
at tho command of all presidents, Mr. Wilson will bo
ln position to dictate tho nominee, even though dis
sensions among the party leaders might preclude the
success of tho man selected. President Taft, for ex
ample, was able to force his renomlnatlon through the,
Chicago convention ln face of the fact that ln prac
tically every stato where presidential primaries gave
tho pooplo a chance to express their preferences,
Roosevelt was the choice of the voters.
Ordinarily It would bo assumed that the most con
spicuous possibility for tho nomination next to the
President or Bryan would bo Congressman Oscar W,
Underwood, majority leader of tho house. But a long
time Intervenes between now and tho 1916 convention,
and in this period Underwood will have sacrificed .his
conspicuous position In the house to vecome ono ot
tho rank and file In the senate. Moreover, the Ala
bama congressman and the president, while avoiding
tho appearance of Irreconcilable hostility, have been
far apart on a number ot Issues, Including tho Pan
ama tolls question. Inasmuch as the president would
naturally wish a successor who would carry out his
policies, It is doubtful whether he would accord Un
derwood cordial support in the preconvention lineup.
Thoso holding to this view declare that for llko rea
sons Champ Clark Is eliminated.
Friends ot Underwood' cling to the belief that the
new tariff law, of which he was the author, will win
him popular support sufficient to overcome any antag
onlsm which might come from other quarters.
McAdoo Uc Mnn to See.
dosslpers are finding much food for talk In the
growing prominence of Secretary of tho Treasury
McAdoo, tho president's son-in-law, as tho political
adviser and patronage dispenser of tho admlnlatra
tlon. Recently the word has been passed down the
line among the democrats In congress and elsowhere
that "McAdoo Is tho jrian to see about patronage," In
consequence ot which the secretary's office Is dally
crowded with men who would ordinarily look to tho
postmaster general as the politician of the cabinet.
What this portends, If anything, la not known, but
eome there aro who see in this situation the prospect
of a ticket headed by McAdoo.
Twice Told Tales
nlsUt or Wronir.
Ono of our western senators, who possesses a
rather Irascible temper, has a habit on days when
everything aeema to go wrong, of scolding the clerks
employed by his committee.
Not long ago, during 'a session of tho senate, the
western salon had expressed a dealre that one of his
clerks prepare a tabulated statement of certain trade
statistics ot tho United States. The statement waa
accordingly prepared and laid before the testy senator,
who glanced at It with an air that boded trouble. In
a moment he looked up and exclaimed:
"Seo hero, Morton, this wpn't do. Why didn't
you prepare this statement on the typewriter? These
figures are disgracefuU Any JJ-year.old schoolboy
could do better than that. Seo that three? It looka
for all tho world like a five! No, one would take It
far anything else. Just look at It!"
"I beg pardon, senator," replied the clerk apolo
getically. 'The fact Is. It la a five."
"A five." roared tho senator. "You ldloti It looka
like a three!" IJppineott'a Magazine.
! An Unpleasant Jolt.
"We oldsters set for tho youngsters a higher
standard than we set for ourselves. Forgetting that
you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, the
stupidest and ugliest failures of parents expect their
sons and daughters to grow up mlraoles of beauty,
Intelligence and success."
The speaker was Wilton Lackayo, the occasion
the Lambs' Gambol In New York. He continued I
"A father aald to hla pretty daughter ono even
ing with a scornful, angry laugh:
" 'That young Jam son has the face to want to
marry you I A mere bookkeeper!'
" 'But father.' said the girl, 'I lovo Mr. Jamson,
What la your objection to our marriage?'
"Why," roared tho old roan, 'why, he couldn't
support you decently-' ,
" 'But father,' said the slrl, 'neither can you,' "
