The country will be content with any agree ment with General Carranra which mussles hit manifesto department. The old saying, "A good Injun la a dead Injun" may have to be paraphrased, "A ood Mexican Is a dead Mexican." It is cheering to know that Colonel Bryan's confidence la prohibition la just as strong and unalterable aa his faith In IS to 1. Still, there is nothing in the rules and reg ulations to prevent Jitney owners from keeping t.'ieir machines cleaner and more presentable. If there is any system of destruction which haa not been given a tryout in Europe, the in ventor should lose no time in addressing the killers. What a providential stroke that . Colonel Maher finds plenty right at home for his type wr'ter battery to do without mobilizing on the Mexican frontier. Granting all the craftiness attributed to Pancho Villa, It is more than matched, by the experience of bis pursuers and the longer range of their artillery. ' The fake reformer la always a martyr when his faithlessness is exposed. Behold "Bob" bugging the bag of fee-graft gold whose temptation he could not resist Both wings of the democratic belligerents proclaim at their voice-tops that they are bet ter friends of Wilson than the other fellows. Verily, they do "ell protest too much. Bringing military censorship home to corre spondents on the Mexican border combine pathos and humor rising steadily to a' scream. Truly the military blue pencil Is fierce." "It is Impossible to crush a good, honrat man with ltea."-Wor)d-Herald. Yes, and it is equally impossible for a dis honest man or a political faker to retain pub lic confidence, no matter how much be lies. Everyone who Is with Bryan now la "a pure patriot," and what anyone who is against him now did for htm before waa dona for mercenary or for selfish purposes. There yon have it In a nnt-shelL !. A multitude of mobile and voluminous critics of the army establishment appear un aware of the opportunity for betterment pre sented by the call for recruits. Now is the ac cepted time to ault action to words. Secretary Redfleld's plea for the conserva t'on of rage as a means of heading oft a paper famine, opens up a source of profit for the thrifty. Moreover, the practice of chewing rags is unwholesome and grossly wasteful. Thirty Years Ago This Day in Omaha - Compile frosa See antes. Probably the most appreciative audience ever as sembled together at Omaha greeted Mary Andereoa at the Boyd, where she portrayed the character of Galatea. There can be nothing more pure, chaste and cold than Mlsa Anderson's personification of Pygma lion's atatue and aa Pygmaliun Mr. Forbes Robert son received well merited applause. To give full meas ure, the audience had an after-piece presented railed "Comedy and Tragedy." The preliminary meeting for the June Musical fee tival was held at Meyer's music hall with the fol lowing In attendance: Mlsa Claire Kuslln, Mrs. J. T. Clarke. Mrs. Fred Nye, Miss Julia E.

Chancellor von Btbmann-HoUwe, appar ently, Is not Immediately to retire from the first seat In the Oerman imperial cabinet On the contrary, be haa again shown hla fitness for the Important place be holds by cleverly circumventing the politicians who have opposed Lis policy, and is yet firm In hla seat, with the rdns of the government well In band. Tor many montha before the war. Ton Bethmann Hollweg waa asnalled by opponent of the policy outlined by the emperor and pat Into cporatlon by the cabinet Since actlvltiea In the field have been under way, this opposition has been strengthened by the addition of an other element, made up of those who do not endorse what they term the extreme mildness of the chancellor In dealing with the political and economio situation. The retirement of von Tirplta was a distinct shock to this faction, and brought a show of activity that for a moment seemed serious enough to actually threaten the continuity of the cabinet These extremists were joined by tho ultras on the other end, and a union of fac tions that might have been disastrous for the ministry seemed possible. But the incongruity of these Interests operated to prevent a coali tion sufficiently firm to establish the expected revolt, and the chancellor, by the simple ex pedient of avoiding an interpellation and per mitting the Introduction of a resolution, haa avoided open discussion in the Reichstag of qutstions that would certainly produce Inter nal disturbance In the empire. He win con ttnue to direct hla government between the ex tremes o peace and war, and thue adda to hlf teputatlon as a master of statecraft Germany has been fortunate In having a man of von Bethmann-Hollweg'a ability In this all-important position during the critical period of the war. Ills real trial Is to come, when tbf terms of peace are to be fixed, but hla manage ment of the war promisee well for his ability to secure German Interests in any negotiation. Back to the Starting Point. After a bewildering succession of proposal nd counter-proposals, the city commissioners have turned down all street lighting proposi tions, and are back where they started. The real trouble, aa we see it. la that the city authorities do not know what they want to do, or whether they want to do anything at all In the matter of street Illumination. Assuming some Improvement of present conditions is desired, we renew our suggestion, made aome time ago, that the proper proceed ing for the city is to formulate its own proposi tion and invite the lighting company, or com panies, to fix a price, or say "Yes" or "No." proposition so formulated, regardless of both the pleasure of the lighting company and the ambltiona of the Water Board management. a leaat, could and should provide against com jllcatlng the existing situation and avoid bind ing the city to any obligation that would inter fere with eventually supplying Its own light from a municipal lighting plant. . Clash of the Colonel. Lincoln has Just undergone a collision of colonels that makes the thirty-day bombard ment at Verdun seem tame in comparison. Two doughty warriors, oue a master of the deadly typewriter, the other unequalled la use or verbal missiles, met in furious onslaught, and the result is too ghastly to contemplate. Colonel Maher showed the courage of his clan by entering a trial In which he waa clearlv overmatched and at a disadvantage because of being deprived of hla favorite weapon. He is entitled, however, to something in the way of laurels for having engaged Colonel Bryan with toe naked mouths and certainly did acquit him self well for one who is accustomed to nnur blistering volleys from a high-geared self-starting typewriter. Colonel Bryan, more at ease be cause of hla great familiarity with the atrstAcrv of the Jaw-bone, emerged with flying colors rrom trie encounter, while Colonel Maher la re ported to have ceased firing onlv bnran he had exhausted his ammunition. The battle la not ended, although It la not at all likely these eminent democrats will again auts at close quarters. Surprise attacks are not leaders in tneir atrategy. They will be heard from in the long range warfare that ia now und. w. and the auspicious opening of the democratic primary campaign certainly does promise much that will be of Interest before the vote is taken. Duty of Eailroad Man Defined. From the supreme court of the United Statea has Just come a decision that more clearly than ever define the duty of railroad men. A flagman had been killed as a result of a rear-end collision which might have been averted, had he attended to his duty. In hold ing that hla estate is not entitled to recovei damages from the railroad, the supreme court lays down a rule that will affect all railroad men, and especially those engaged in train movements. It Is held that In the performance ot their duties, they are responsible to the ut most for the safety of passengers and property entrusted to their care. If mishap followa aa a result of failure, the negligent employe can not claim Tor himself compensation for an in Jury he may auffer. Thla Is not entirely a re vival of the defense of contributory negligence, but Is a more strict Interpretation or the rule of duty, more clearly defining the responslbil- Ity of railroad men. Its Importance will be clearly understood by them, and Its application win mean atlll greater aafety In travel. Two thousand ahlps, aggregating 1.000.0 tons, have been swept from the seas since the war began. Probably an equal tonnage h been diverted, from commerce to naval and military operatlona. The two combined con atitute a tremendous decrease la seagofni trade, and fully explains the embargo on ex ports at shipping porta. 00 It la not in Nebraska only that republicans regard Justice Hughes as the one man above all others to unite the party. It is the same all over the country, but Nebraska Is the only state where the preferential ballot is open wide to let the voter write In his real choice and make it effective. Political Straws, FrtetMl HmtliHd: The more Justice Hughe protests that be doe not desire to become a candidate for the office of president of theoe I'nlted State the more Nebraska repabllcsuvs desire hint to fill that moat im portant office. We do not take It that Juatloe Hughes' name will be printed on the primary tickets In this state, but there will be a blank Un left among the Hat of presidential candidates and every voter whe prefers Justice) Hughes should writs Charles B. Hughes on that line and pUo an X tn the square opposite the name. This would bring Judge Ho ghee before th convention In June Just aa prominently as thongh hla name was printed on the primary bal lots. When Justice Hughes ascertains that th re publicans of these United Statea desire him for that position be is patriotic enough to aorept th posi tion. He la th on man among all th candidates proposed who oan be elected next falL Boston Transcript: Th result in New Hampshire will probably be duplicated In every on of th New England states. Two of the delegates today favo- the nomination' of Mr. Weeks and Intend to vote for him on th first ballot. Th six other delegates are uncommitted and several of them are personal friends of Mr. McCall. Seven of th delegates are said to be ready to Join a stampede for Hughes If th sentiment for his nomination In ths west is reflected tn the delegates who are elected to represent that section at Chicago. New England republicans as a whole are much more concerned about the triumph of the cause than they are about th auccess of any individual candidate. They hope to see Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Root campaigning the country together In support of the ticket if Mr. Hughes Is nominated. Albion News: It seems thst all factions of th re publican party are pretty generally satisfied to take Judge Hughes as a csndldats for president This Is a great compliment to this gentleman In view of the radical differences existing In regard to many policies of government. Ralph E. Williams, Republican National Committee man From Oregon. In Chicago Tribune: If Hughes would aay he would accept I believe he would be nominated almost unanimously. He may be nomi nated whether he aaya the word or not If nomi nated he will be elected with a record vote. Bloomtngton Advocate: The Omaha Bee, who la an anthualaatio supporter of Judge Hughes for president. Is advising the voters to write his name on the pri mary ballot. This Is all right, but not much will eome from It because so few people will take time to write In the name when they go to vote. A good many Hughes' supporters ' In this state have taken the gentleman to mean what he says when he Intimated that he waa not a candidate- W believe, however, that th able Judge would corns nearer satisfying all factions In the party than anyone that can o selected. ' Burton J. Hendrlck In Minneapolis Journal: Hughes possesses two great advantages. Nearly all the party leaders have slready announced their readi ness to support him. More Important Is the steadily growing popular movement for Hughes. Justice Hughes meets every teat of political availability. But the discussion ends, aa It began, with the query: Will he take the nomination? Hughea and Wilson that certainly would be a treat for our somewhat Jaded political appetites. It would be a purely moral and Intellectual contest. There would be no personal maul ings. such as we' have sometimes had. The contest, with thoae two men as candidates, would reach a height of dignity and decency without parallel In presidential campaigns. Twice Told Tales. : A Narrow Escape'. It was the woman's first visit to the cinemato graph. For a long time she gased in silent aw at the wonders of the screen, where all sorts of Impoasl ble things toook place. Khe could hardly believe the evidence of her own yea. These things were real they were actually hap pening. 8h stared with goggling eyes aa miracle succeeded miracle. Then a motor car appeared on the screen, coming into sight In the distance, and racing along a country road at about a mile a minute straight out of the pic ture at the audience. Catastrophe seemed Inevitable, and she shrank back In her seat. Then, Just at the critical moment. It swerved aside and dashed out of sight. The old woman rose firmiy to her feet. Ignoring the protests of those behind her. "Come along, Annie," she said to her youthful niece: "It ain't safe here. That thing only missed m by a few Inches." London Answers.

' An sxhibtt of this kind In th papefa the sprung is timely and well-advised, a U not only sfaews what is la tb minds of th boys and what thsy ax doing, but it also brings to th minds of othrs th fact that summer Is mads more gladsome by the presence of feathered songsters around ou door. That others sr thinking along like lines Is evidenced by the snnouncenisnt of an exhibit of thoe bird bouse next Thursday and Friday, in which it Mated that a large number of people have tried to buy aome of th houses. Failing to do so, thsy have even threatened to steal them, but Commissioner Hummel says that he will have a policeman at vrr door to se that nons of th bird houses slip away with th visitors.

OMAHA, March M.Te ths Editor of Th Be A a ewbtoao that the pri mary system of avemlnaling candidates for offuts I a fays end that it does not bensflt the general public in giving them A rhanoa fee an Intelligent ehoice of can didate for offios, just ta". . look over th lt of mora than too v n who hav filed n Douglas aeunty aiready, besides the judicial candidate who will be added yet te the already bs long list, The primary system haa not improved the sIsm of candidates tn the least snd pbnosiou candidate are much more apt to b nominated under tb primary ays tern than under th eld convention sys tem. Two years sge men were voted for and nominated for offios who were dead drunk at (he time of the primaries and it Is apt to be that way as long aa the primary system la used. The members of ths election boards will havs a hugs task before them on April 18, for In addition to more than no Doug las county candidates, there Is a long list ef national delegates, electors, state of ficers and others that will make the list at least 8u far us to sount, and I think It will be mere than that number.. When tiie legislature was in sesaioR laat feat i suggested that election boards be enlarged somewhat by adding to the number a subdivision of the election board whs would g en duty at noon of election day as a counting, or returning board, so that thay could be counting while the ballots sre being east. ; In that way it would make the work of the election boards much shorter snd would add te th accuracy of the canvass and count.' With the tremendous list of names to count April II It Is doubtful If any of the election boards will get through before noon of April 19, even by counting all night and all of Wednesday forenoon. If we are atlll to be burdened with the obnoxious primary system which falls to lmprovs with age. It Is to be hoped that the next legislature will have a returning board added to the election board so that the count can be finished In a reasonable time. When there are so many candidates ta be voted on, the polls ought to close at o'clock In ths evening. Instead of t o'clock. Kvery voter would have ample time to cast bis ballot If the polls opened at I In the morning and closed at In the evening. The law gives every work ingman a chance te go and vote without loalng time or pay, and for that reason ther Is no necessity of having ths pells open so long in the evening. In th past ths legislature has bungled up th election laws worse each time It meets. It is to be hoped that some effi elent men will be sent down ther this year who will make them mere reason able and not so bunglesome. The pri mary system drives good men eut, from th fact that thy da not feel able te go t the Urn and eipense of tw cam paigns.
