Thirty Years Ago
This Day in Omaha
Railroads, Employes and the Public.
Without undertaking at this time to go Into
he mrrlts of the railroad wage question, the
Justice or Injustice of the men's aemanas, or
the warrant of the managers in resisting those
emsnds, It Is altogether proper that a word be
said on a phase that is getting but scanty con
sideration from either side Just now. That is
the public's concern In the question that may
row into a serious controversy. So far, earn
ide has taken great pains to get its claims he-
fore the people In the very best light. Tress
bureaus are maintained, and much "literature"
t being sent out, intended to Impress the popu-
ar mind. Nothing has yet appeared tnat indi
cates consideration of the fact that In event of
disturbance In the transportation Industry, the
public will be the sufferer; nor of the equally
mportant fact that it Is the public that pays
the bill in the end. It Is to be fervently hoped
that the men and the companies may adjust
their differences on a basis that will be satis
factory to both sides, but the contestants must
remember always that the duty they owe to the
people is far greater than their own private in
terests. No matter to which side the. sympathy
of the people may lean, nor how sentiment may
be divided on the question at issue, the one
point on which all will agree Is that the wag
qvestlon must be adjusted without disturbance
of service tbat Is so vital to our social life. The
side that forces the strife to an open break
must shoulder a great responsibility.
Double-Headen.
Recalling the acrimony engendered in the
last two republican national conventions over
the determination between a multiplicity of con
testing delegates, It was hoped that the next
convention might avoid a repetition of these
complications. Not that republican conven
tions alone have been beset with contests, for
the democrats have had their troubles, too,
but the large number of palpably fake contests.
made purposely to befog the issues, seemed to
have reached their limit, with a reaction cer
tain to follow.
Notwithstanding the fact that contesting
delegates are no longer in good standing, the
prospects are already good for double-headers
from several southern states. Georgia and South
Carolina already have dual organizations clam
oring for recognition, and Kentucky has a
second state convention called, while perennial
Louisiana again promises two sets of delegates.
Apparently nothing can stop donble-headers
and the contests will have to be threshed out.
There Is no good reason, however, why they
should not be settled on the evidence without a
renewal of the hue and cry over the alleged
bias of tha men who must decide.

Carranza. Wins Agrain.
Tenustlano Cnrranza has found one capital
In which he has both power and Influence. Un
able to control affairs In his own country, of
which he has been balled as de facto head by
the president of the United States, and with
out authority at Mexico City, he is yet abie to
have his own way at Washington, where his
whims, however childish or absurd, receive re
spectful consideration and compliance. At pres
ent there is nothing friendly In his attitude, no
evidence of willingness to assist in overhauling
Villa. Impotent, so far as curbing the lawless
ness of murderous bandlta Is concerned, he
peevishly objects to the United States under
taking to protect Its own people from the as
saults of the miscreants from below the border.
Carranza is already greatly Indebted to Mr.
Wilson personally, because of the president's
clandestine support to his pretensions before
he was openly recognized, and simple gratitude
for favors shown and help given should require
that he give every assistance to a movement of
which he will be the chief beneficiary. Instead,
ho takes the opposite course,, and the admini
stration at Washington is content to accept
what Carranza is willing to grant. Our army
is to be hampered in its operations in pursuit
of the murderers who raided Columbus, because
the de facto head of the Mexican government
prescribes terms for the use of a branch rail-
read across a desert country, and otherwise
abandoned, that suit him but will be of little
service to the United States.
The wondrous patience of the American peo
ple is being sorely tried just at present. The
time is not very far away when Carranza and
similar polllcal adventurers will not find it so
easy to win at 'Washington.
Only One Chance.
Secretary of State Pool calls attention to
some changes made In the primary election law
by the late legislature. One of these is to pre
vent an aspirant from having more than one
chance to get a nomination for the office he
seeks. The law now provides that a person de
feated at the primary can not again become a
candidate by petition or otherwise for the same
office. Thts is proper. It gives every man one
chance, and permits the voters to decide. It
does not deprive any man of his rights, but re
quires that he conform at least In the letter to
the decision of the voters of his party. Mor
ally he will be bound to give his loyal support
to the candidate chosen, although he has the
legal right to work against him. He can not.
however, show his opposition by becoming a
candidate for the office. This condition will
not disturb any who honestly enter the primary
contest, and will head off those who pursue of
fice for selfish reasons only.
Two years ago the state of' Pennsylvania
levied a tax on coal produced at the mines. The
coal barons attacked the law in the courts and
de'eated it. The tax, however, was assessed and
collected, swelling as it moved down the line
and touching the consumer for about 25 cents
per ton. Now the coal barons are refunding the
tax to the wholesalers, the wholesalers to the
retailers, but just where the pinched con
sumers come In Is not yet traced on the coal
dealers' map.
Hughes the Favorite
" Philadelphia Ledger Waek'a Oorreepomdeace.
SENTIMENT ten wee before the republican na
tional convention, with the large states yet to
elect delegates, hss so shaped Itself aa to force re
publican eenatore, many ot them atata leaders, to
admit that Justice Hughea can have absolute control
of tha action of tha Chicago convention if he desires.
Tha return of Roosevelt to tha United states has
cryetallied sentiment In tha cplnlon of republican' sen
ators, whose views were sought today. Not a dis
senting voice waa raised against Justice Hughes from
men who heretofore have looked elsewhere for a
presidential candidate. leaders who have hoped to
see ex-Senator Burton or Senator Cummins win out
at Chicago, are now aaylng that Justice Hughes has
tha nomination In his grasp. In tha opinion of these
senators, and many were Interviewed by the Publla
Ledger correspondent today and yesterday. Justice
Hughea will be the republican nominee If he main
tains his present attitude of Indifference, and does
not take himself unequivocally out of the race. In
refusing to allow himself to be conatdered aa an
avowed candidate, which he could not do, because of
hta position on the supreme court- Justice Hughea
has made himself so strong with tha voters, these
leaders say, that no set of politicians' desiring suc
cess In November can defeat him for tha nomination,
a conclusion apparently demanded by the rank and
file of republican voters.
Even the supporters of two presidential candidates
today expressed themselves aa unable to see any hope,
of naming their friends, because of the decided drift
to Justice Hughea since the return of Roosevelt.
Radical progressives hope to force Justice Hughes
to make a declaration which, will nullify the dally In
creasing sentiment for hta nomination. They want
him to say, as did General Sherman, that he would
not be a candidate it nominated. This he will tot
do, and no further statement will come from hlin
other than what he haa already aald.
No presidential pre-conventlon campaign has ever
presented a situation quite like the present. State
leaders may aeak to overcome the Hughea drift by
amusing themselves in respective states with differ
ent favorite sons, such as Brumbaugh, Burton, Weeks,
Sherman and Cummins. The outstanding fact is that
the republicans have only two men who stand the
allghest chance of snatching the presidency away
from President Wilson. The nomination of Roosevelt
would reopen so many antagonisms and offend so
many of the rank and file that the republican party.
though perhaps openly harmonised, would sllll enter
the campaign with divided counslls. Justice Hughea.
on the other hand possesses two great advantages.
Nearly all the party leaders have already announced,
either publicly or to their followers, their readiness
to support him.
Sentiment for Justice Hughes Is not Wat. It per-
meatea the entire country and even In states where
favorite sons are In the race it Is quit as potent
as In other sections. In the east he has always been
regarded as a big figure and now the middle west
and the Paclfto coast atatea, hold the aame opinion.
Rarely in this country have the professional politicians
and ths popular mind united upon the same man for
presidential candidate.
It must be said here, however, that the political
leaders are not for Justice Hughes, because of any
liking for him. If they could have their way they
would take Root or Weeks or even Fairbanks. In
other words they want a man in the presidential chair
with whom they might sit down and dlsouss patro
nage and policies.
Justice Hughes wilt have a large number ot dele
gates elected In the coming primaries) favorable to him.
None of these delegates, perhaps, will be instructed
for the supreme court justice. Ttiey will go to t.h
convention unlnstructed, but representing a Hughes
sentiment In their district which they cannot oppose.
New York will aand perhaps half of its delegates for
Hughea, Pennsylvania will llkery have as many.

Not all of the states where delegates are elected In
stats-wide primaries have preferential votes on presi
dential candidates; but even In those that have tha
declared preference this fact Is not expected to be or
great significance. There will be much Initial ballot

have exhausted their strength the convention is ex

BALTIMORE, Md., March 29-To the
Kdltor of The Bee: I was told that
"Billy" Sunday, who Is now holding an
eight-weeks campaign In Baltimore, Md.,
had a six-weeks campaign In Omaha and
on account of the newspapers not giving
him the space and publicity that Sunday
thought he ought to have he heaped all
ktnda of abuse on the press of your city.
For that reason the story goes, Sunday
w-ss driven out of tha city after being
there one week by the papers and police
department on the grounds of him being
a faker and Impoater.
I would Ilka' to know If this Is true end
L would like you to send me a copy of
some of your papers at the time he was
there. Any Information you msy see fit
to give me regsrdlng him will be highly
appreciated by me. p. H. LOVE.
Note: All the Omaha papera laid them
aelvea out for "Billy" and the only com
plaints The Bee had while he waa hr
were that we were giving him altogether
too much space.
The Missouri Pacific now assures us that It
will remove the Dodge 'street crossing danger
by elevating its trscks. That will solve the

more dilatory pretexts are interposca.

"It was Just such a night as this," he began,
"blight and clear, with a touch of frost. I was going
down the line, when I saw before me, lying right
across the rails, a great beam! For a moment my
heart stood still. Then a distant rumble warned me
that the midnight mail waa approaching. With a great
effort I flung myself between the obstruction and tho
line, and the great train paased unharmed."
There waa a thoughtful alienee after he had fin

"If you couldn't lift the beam how did the train

FREMONT. Neb, March 30. To the
Editor of The Bee: In The Bee several
days ago It was stated that S.ono ships
had been destroyed since the beginning
of the war. In this morning's Bee I
see thst since thst time ships to the
extent of 70,000 tonne se ,had been de
stroyed. Day after day we see them
disappear In one-two-three order. I
turn to Revelatlona vlll., S. and find
that in this time of destruction that a
third of the ships afloat should be de
stroyed. Some one kindly tell us the
number afloat at the atart of the war,
then It will be comparatively easy to
ahow how many yet are to disappear.
These things were written for our
admonition, upon whom the end of Gen
tile times have come. Of these times of
trouble it Is said that had not these
days been shortened no flesh could be
saved. Also the same are said of this
time that the hearts of men would fall
them, or be troubled over looking after
tha things that are coming upon the
earth.
No man of ordinary Intelligence will
undertake to ssy that we are not pass
ing through unusual times; In fact, we
are in that period of time, that time
of trouble, such aa the world has never
seen and never again shall see. The rea
son for this statement Is for the simple
reason It Is the overthrow of the na
tions. As at present organised all are
evil, and must come to their finish. It
Is the overthrow of Satan and his power
over the nations. Thirteen years more
will usher In the new era. A nation
shall be born In a day. At that time
apears shall be turned Into pruning
hooks, not before. It is God's order of
things. This birth of a nation must
follow the travail of the nations. AH.

Hamnea-arerr of the Primary Law.
OXFORD, Neb., March 80. To the Edi
tor of The Bee: Some time since I
wrote of our primary law aa a humbug,
and aa It is belted up to grind out a
grist of candidates for 1S16. let us no
tice how well it responds to the wants
and needa of the people. Political par
ties are about to choose delegates to
their national conventions, and to elect
their national committee. Those organ
izations are deeply Interested that those
selected for those positions are men of
honor, integrity and loyal to the party
and Its principles. Especially la this
true of their national committeeman,
whose personality and ability, coupled
with the loyalty he holds to the party,
will have much to do with success or
defeat of his party In the state. How
can such men. other than by mere
chance, be placed In those positions
under our primary law? The only re
quirement of a candidate is that he
wants the Job, can raise the filing fee,
and a statement that he affiliates with
the party. That he affiliated with the
party for treasonable Intent, hoping to
defeat Its candidates, and even to pre
vent it from being represented on the
general ballot, that It might lose tts or
ganisation before the law, Is no bar to
his having his name appear on the ballot
as a 'competent, loyal, party member.
No one will claim that a majority mem.
berahlp of any political or rellgeoua or
ganisation keep themaelvea posted as o
details of their party machinery. How
then can it be expected that they will be
ready to vote Intelligently at the pri
mary? What I have said of the above
candldatea applies to all candidates on
the ballot. Thla Is no reflection on the
voter; It is well he is more profitably
employed, but if the law expects to com
pel him to qualify, where shall he go for
hla guide board? He finds hla newspaper
where he has often gone for Information
In times past, has taken on a look of a
live stock Journal Juat oefore the sales.
He scana the photographa, reads tha self
made pedigrees, and then turns to the
editorial comments, only to find that all
candidates are registered full bloods, and
are boomed worth the money. Take the
presidential situation In thla state the
democratic party is for Wilson not for
love. Oh no, It is because he alone holds
out a possibility of keeping them In the
feed business. Conditions In the repub
lican party are entirely different. They
regret their quarrel that split their party
and allowed the democrats to march
through the break, and take possession
of the national copltol. They desire to
kiss and make up and would have accom
plished that end long ago If it were nor
for the primary law. Everything points
to the fact that Hughea would be an in
spiring and get-together candidate for
their party, but here again the voters
find their wishes thwarted by the humbug
primary, for it has decreed that tha re
publican delegatea ahall go to Chicago
pledged to Cummins or Estabrook no
matter who the party choice Is. It '
true there will be a little rebellion and
it will be worth while to witness the
doughty editor of The Bee stsndlng wltn
both feet on about the middle of nls
primary ballot while he writes in and
marks the name of Hughea. There will
others out through the stats, but they
will be aware that the primary la against
them, that one-third who write In thl
name will fall to mark It, one-twefth wMl
ao write It that the Judges will credit to
name will fall to mark It. one-twelfth
will alao mark one of the prlnted-ln can
dldatea Juat to be certain their ballot will
not be thrown out.
In a former letter I pledged myself
not te vote for any candidate who tried to
ride two parties into office. I see Secre
tary Poo) haa ruled In substance that
It Is wlcWfd and not In accordance to
law to file double and it will not be
tolerated, only In cases where tha ac
cruing benefit can be caahed In by the
democratic party. It la well Mr. Pool
should worry. His party owna the trade
mark on catching votea by deception and
I hope he may be able to protect the
eemocretie brand. Can anyone conceive
a law that would lead to more political
trickery or one ihat would be farther
from making honesty and ability the
first qualifications tor office. I am not
saying that good men do not go Into
office under the primary, for they do
In aplte of. and not because ef. Its work

expense, all its fuss and feathers is ever,
then the people are compelled to go
