The Bull-Mooten' Dilemma.
It is the irony of fate that the bull-nioosprs
of Nebraska, the one particular party that has
sought to make ao much capital over "hand
picked" delegates and "prearranged slates,"
should have to frame up a list of national con
vention delegates through a conference of self
constituted "leaders." Of course, the Justifi
cation of it all lies in the fact that, except for
some such artificially started machinery, the
wheels would not go around at all, and not
enough volunteers would get into the game to
make a full delegation.
The question still remains, however, as to
how the bull-moosers are to commission them
selves to represent themselves at their national
gathering. Under the laws of Nebraska, there
is'only one way to choose convention delegates,
and that Is by direct primary! and to put names
on the official ballot requires a petition bearing
signatures of duly qualified electors of the party
to the number of 600 for the district, and 3,000
for the state, except that it need not be more
than 6 per cent of the vote polled at the last
preceding election. This proviso lets the bull
moosers down quite a bit, because the biggest
vote polled by any candidate on their state
ticket last time was 14,233, so that the five
per cent calls for only 750 autographs, or an
average of 125 in each of the six congressional
districts.
We opine that it will take some scratching
to secure the signatures of the 760 Bimon-pure
bull-moosers still willing to proclaim third party
allegiance in this state. With sufficient in
dustry the Job can doubtless be done, but no
time Is to be wasted.
Brother Charlie to Stick.
Oeorge W. Berge has his answer, and
"Brother .Charlie" will stay la the race. The
perpetual aspirant for governor on the demo
cratic side had hoped to lure the anointed
mayor of Lincoln into giving over his devoir,
and thus leave the people to their fate. Little
did he reck of the high devotion of the Lincoln
member of the well known firm of Bryan
Brothers. When one of these puts his hand to
the work of yielding to popular demand, It is
not with the intent to turn aside to pursue
something else, with the task half accomplished.
Only the final count of votes will serve to con
vince him the public wants another, and then
the verdict is accepted with the reservation thai
the voters know not what the do. '"Brother
Charlie" will be In the race to the very end,
no matter what Mr. Berge may do, and the
senator's hopes, now centered on the North
Platte candidate, will tremble for many a day
before the choice is made.
Senator La Follette and Senator Works are
statesmen with one common thought. They
contend that soldiering should combine useful
employment wuu arm ana niarcning. A prac
tical application of the system would Instantly
spoil the usefulness and fascination of present
day recruiting boosters and Irreparably dam
age pictorial art.

Eight Hundred Meters.
Eight hundred meters is about the distance
from Sixteenth to Twenty-fourth streets. This
is the prize for which two great armies strug
gled for days In the fiercest of deadly conflict.
The Germans succeeded In throwing the French
out of their trenches for that d'stance and pro
claim a great victory, but only for a moment.
The French have recovered the ground. And
this is the story of the war from day to day.
Thousands of lives were sacrificed In this en
counter, millions of dollars worth of munitions
expended, and at its end the foes face each
other Just where they began.
It is after all a war of little things. The
immensity of the operations is swallowed up
in the pettiness of the gains. No bridge at
Lodl, no sunken road at Waterloo, no square of
steel nor Old Guard dash marks this desper
ate grapple of millions. The showiness of the
soldier's trade has vanished before the me
chanic's grime, and this war of desperately
driven machinery Is rather Thermopylae many
times repeated. Men burrow like moles and
fight like demons in this maelstrom of passion.
where victory is measured by Inches and the
smashing of half a mile of front is hailed as a
great achievement.
Eight hundred meters of trenches taken and
retaken In this contest between trained armies
should hold a vivid lesson for those who be
lieve raw recruits, hastily levied, will be equal
to the defense of this or any other country.
Russia Sees a Little light
The visit of the czar to the Duma is not
enough In Itself to support the prediction of
extensive reform in Russian political life, but
It shows a tendency In the right direction. The
novelty of the procedure will attract some at
tention In the world outstde, which has become
accustomed to thinking of the ruler of Russia
at permanently domiciled in a palace, sur
rounded by an all but Impenetrable guard of
military and etiquette. Nicholas broke down a
custom of many year's growth when he mingled
with his people on the streets of Petrograd, at
the beginning of the war. This latest move of
the czar shows that some of the forms of auto
cracy are crumbling under the pressure of the
conflict.
Even Holy Russia finally rests on the spirit
of the people. Sunk in ignorance and super
stition to a depth that Is not to be measured by
oidlnary rules, the moujlk is not especially
promising material for democratic develop
ment, but the germ is there. The Duma, even
in its helplessness, is a manifestation of the
people's desire to have a share in the govern
ment. It Is scarcely less Impotent than was the
Parliament of England in Its beginnings, or
the Assembly of France under the Bourbons,
nor does It hold less of promise.

GIVH your mind an Inspiring breath from tha in
finite ocean of apace by looking at the planets
Venus snd Jupiter, now ao conspicuous In the
sunset sky. Remember that they, loo. are worlds si
well ai the earth. Venus Is probably Inhabited; Jupi
ter, though more than a thousand tlmra largpr, may
still ba too young aa a planet to sustain life, at least
In any such forms ss we are acquainted with.
Aa you look at them In the sky, Venus appeara to
be murh the larger and brighter of the two. That
la a deception produced by distance. Jupiter la hun
dreds of millions of miles more distant. If they were
equally far from the earth Jupiter would outshine
Venus about 120 times. That Is tha proportion be
tween the areas of their respective surrarea.
Venus Is very nearly of tha same alia as tha
earth. In looking at it, then, you see how the earth
would appear If we could view it a hundred million
miles away. It would be only a bright star. The
sunlight reflected from all Its oceana, continents and
clouds would be concentrated Into a brilliant point,
and this huge globe would be only a "diamond in tha
aky."
Who that had never lived upon It, looking at It thus,
would ever dream of the races, nations, emplrea; of
tha wars, conquests, explorations; of tha cities, pal
aces, ships; of tha Inventions, rivalries, apiratlons; or
of tha limitless conceit of which It haa so long been
tha center! All theee things In a start And a mock
star at that, for tha real atara are auns, not little
planets masquerading In borrowed light.
Jupiter and Venus for a few evenings appeared to
be drawing nearer together. About February 14 they
resembled a splendid double star, and after that thry
seemed to drift apart again. These, too, were de
ceptive appearances. They were not moving toward
one another at all, but each was pursuing Its own
orbit about tha sun, while tha earth from which wo
looked at them was also rushing swiftly on In Its
track. But tha speed of each waa different, depending
upon Its distance from the sun, which governs all these
motions, and, besides, Jupiter wss far outside the
earth' path around the sun. while Venua was inside it,
and thus another complication waa introduced Into
their relative motions as they were seen from tha
earth.
It Is as If eur planet wera a ahip sailing in a
circle, and Jupiter and Venua other ahips also sailing
In circles, going in tha aame direction around tho
aama center, but one farther and the other nearer thnn
the earth, and all three moving with dlfferenq speeds.
You perceive how puxzling that might be to a pas
senger. And then, over on the other side of the sky
Is Mars, traveling in an orbit between those of the
earth and Jupiter, and just now rising in the eastern
heavens while the others are sinking In the western.
He Is in a different part of hia circle that la ail
but ha belongs to tha fleet He has his red lantern
out. and It gleams menacingly like a hostile signal.
Mars Is tha smallest of these planetary ships, but
ha looks mora formidable than any of them on ac
count of his color. It is the hue of war. He makes
4 he superstitious afraid. Ha la a grim, compact battle
ship. If you look at him with a telescope his bulging
circle of white polar snow at the edge of tha ruddy
disk has, I cannot tell what, strange suggestions of
aggressiveness. It shines like tha doomed turret of a
gun.
There Is yet another planet In thla wonderful celes
tial prooeeslon. , It Is tha ringed Baturn, hanging In
mldheaven, northeastward from Orion, In the rich con
stellation of the Twins. The circle that his ship fol
lows la afar off, away beyond the tacking of Jupiter,
and though he shows well because of his great bu'k.
yet there la something of the dimness and mystery
of secretive distance In his look.
But turn your telescope upon him, and though
It be for the thousandanth time, you cannot represa a
quick Intake of breath at the sight of those great
strange rings! What do they meanT Why waa that
huge world hung round with suoh garlands of crowd
ing, clashing meteors, which spin, circle within circle,
and flash off tha sunlight Ilka whirling steel disks?
Those rings of Saturn are tha relics of a spinning
nebula which agea ago condensed ' Into a mlstleas
skeleton.

OQALLALA, Neb., Feb. OT.-To the
Kdltor of The Bee; president Wilsons
swing around the circle la a reminder of
that other swing around the circle by
President Andrew Johnson, In September,
1SSB, almost fifty years ago. The writer
waa only a youngster, of. 17, but it waa
my privilege to have been In Chicago
on that occasion. It was at tha laying .
of the cornerstone of the Douglas monu
ment. Htephen A. Douglas was one of the
foremost men of his day the ante-bellum
days being attorney general of Illinois
at 21. member of the legislature at 22,
member of the state supreme court at 27,
lower house of congress at 3.1, and United
States senator at 37. He had no superior

There were thousands of sir knights in
attendance In full uniform and regalia,

started from the Sherman house with a
long line of carriages, those in front
being drawn by four white horses with
plumes, and Immense crowds lining the
streets. In the first carriage came Pres
ident Johnson and General Grant Tha
great civil war had been ended only a
little more than a year, and Grant, the
greatest soldier of tho nineteenth cen
tury, was the Idol of the north. President
Johnson was not popular at that time
with the people, owing to some things
said and done, which in too long a story
to tell In tha Letter Box. Some said it
was a case of "too much Johnson," The

Europe's Preblem After tea War.
HARLAN, la., Fob. 22. To tha Editor
of Tha Bee: If I were to ask the readers
of The Bee to name tha moat serious
problem that will confront Europe after
the war, I wonder what tha answer would
be.
Yes, there will be big war debts to
pay, there will be governments to re
construct; there will be a worid peace to
provide for; there may be new navies to
rebuild and remodel; there will be de
vastated cities and whole countries to re
generate; there will be credits to re
establish; there will be national Industries
to promote and national competition for
tho world's trade; there will be technical
works on military tactics, entrenchments.
fortifications, warships and munitions of
war to revise: there will be many a new
chapter In history to write and new prob-
lema in International law.
The really grave and far-reaching ques
tion with Europe is not concerning her
resources, but how it will re-man Europe.
This, too, will work Itself out naturally
If left to nature, but there are indications
that nature will not have everything Its
own way In tha final settlement of this
greatest of all questions. There are
great minds In Europe who know, only
too well, tha results of allowing the beat
blood of a nation to be wasted on tha
battlefields, while allowing tha poorest
blood to re-man tha nation. Tha down
fall of many a noble empire of the past
la brought strongly to their minds, and
there Is sure to be a struggle on tha part
of cold-blooded scientists to prevent . a
Ilka disaster at the expense of all that la
held sacred In cultured and refined society.
Especially in Germany, there Is already
atrong talk of artificial fertilisation and
of legalised polygamy. There everything
la aubmerged In tha wavea of patriotism
and scientific research is at Ua height.
There la an ever growing tendency to
sacrifice private feellnga and sentiments
to the publlo welfare, and to rule the
populace through the irresistible Influ
ence of tha few dominant characters who
seem to have been born to rule.
The say that It la better that one
healthy and strong-minded man should,
through fertilization by artificial means.
become the father of, say 1.000 able chil
dren, than that l.ono Inferior children
should be born with aa many separate
fathers who had been refused by or re
jected from the annlea on account of
physical or mental Inferiority. A aort
of legalised polygamy la also urged and
they say that, under the pressing need
for a new crop of able-bodied men, every
woman owes It to the state to become a
mother, and that tha state will protect
her honor, and aoclety shall welcome her
aa a worthy member while ahe la raising
children under the new conditions to be
established.
For many years leading Germans have
advocated so-called reform methoda of
this character, and have been backed by
considerable funds, great enthusiasm and
Journallstto aupport. Their aim la to ao
Improve the German race aa to make lt
undeniably auperlor to all others. It
would seem, however, that many of tha
methods suggested are repulsive In tha
extreme. Movements slong three differ
ent lines are atrongly organized, how
ever, command largo pecuniary means,
a phalanx of original and prolific writers
and enthusiastic devotion to their cause.
Even in the universities, where tha dea
tinlea of Germany have been mostly
shaped, great enthusiasm la being shown
along these lines, and. If they are deter
mined to reform tha family la this way,
It Is hard to aay what the result will be.
Even In this country this subject Is re
ceiving considerable attention and at
tracting much Interest Dr. Elnora Folk-
man, head of the woman's rllnle at
Washington. C. writes: "I fully
realize that Europe must do something
to Increase the birth rate. I also realize
that every woman In limpe owes a duty
to the state In this matter. However, I
want to go on record publicly as being
absolutely opposed to polygamy after the
present war Is over. I am willing to ad
mit that It is one of the expediencies
which may be adopted to repopulate the
belllperent nations, but I think It would
be the wrong method. When peace Is
declared the nations of Europe will be
confronted with a serious problem. One
of the phases will Include a great number
of unmarried women who have no chance
of obtaining a physically fit husband,
except through polygamy, but who should
become mothers for the benefit of the
state.
"How to enable these unmarried wo
men to perform their duties to the state
without mnrringe and without personal
degradation, to my mind, Is the great
problem for Europe to solve. The ques
tion Is, will Europe p-o back to the old
time methods of polygamy, or will Eu
rope turn to the newly discovered proc
esses of science? Science has demon
strated that it la perfectly poaslble for
a woman to become a mother by the
process of artificial fertilisation. Would
not a woman, wh owea a duty to the
state, prefer that to polygamy? I think
so."
It is not part of the eugenic program
that such unnatural methods should be
employed even to bring about a higher
racial development. If we are to pre
serve In the future race the true and
tender sentiments, refinement of feelings
and delicacy of taste, we must not use
harsh methods or try to force unnatural
conditions, but should aim to make the
ties of the home circle stronger, the re
lation between husband and wife holler
and purer, and add. In every way, to
parental and filial love.
This great problem belongs to Europe
alone at present, but there is always a
possibility that it may become ours, too,
some day. In the meantime wo may
watch their methods In solving It, but
tho great lesson that we must learn Is
how to keep such problems from coming

HOME.
Edward Rowland Sill.
I know a spot between three ancient
A solituile rf green and grassy shade.
Where the tall roses, naked to the knees.
In that deep shadow wade.
Whose rippled coolness drips from bough
to boufrti.
And bathea the world's vexation from my
brow.
The mailed limbs spring upward
And from their perfect arch they
Like sp uied fountains from a dark green
sea
So beautiful they curve
Motionless fountains, slumbering in mid
air,
With vray of shadows, falling every
where.
Here the sun comes not like the kins
of day.
To rule hia own. but hesitant, afraid.
Forbears his scepter's golden length to
lav
Across the inviolate shade.
And wraps the broad space like a dark
ened tent.
With many a quivering shaft of splendor
rent.

Why Suffer
From Migraine or
Sick Headache?
Dr. J. J.Caldwell says that this exceedingly
distressing disease doea not shorten Hfe,
but does not appear to be curable. Batter
ers from this affliction are condemned to
undergo the periodical attacks every few
weeks until they are forty yeara of age, after
which the attacts are less frequent, and
finally disappear entirely. Palliative meas
ures during the attack are all that It Is
f onlble to suggest, while care la the diet Is
be best preventive measure. An attack
may often be prevented by taking two
antl-kamnla tablets when the first symp
toms appear, and one antl-kamnla tablet
every two hours daring the attack shortens
It, eases the pain and brings rest and quiet.
Antl-kamnla tablets may be obtained at,
all druggists. Ask for A-K Tablets. They
quickly relieve all Fain.
