Wihon'i First Decisiye Defeat.
President Wilson encountered his first de
cisive defeat when the house rejected his
Philippine program by a vote on which thirty
democrats broke away from the caucus con
trol and voted with the republicans not only to
reject the Hitchcock bill, but passed the Jones
bill as a substitute. Moreover, the house also
voted instructions to Its conferees to accept
no proposition fixing a time at which the United
States is to withdraw from the Philippine Isl
ands. This action, taken on the anniversary of
Admiral Dewey's brilliant victory In Manila
bay, Is significant for several reasons.
First of all, It shows there i a limit beyond
which even the president cannot drive his
party. The Hitchcock bill, with the Clarke
amendment, as It passed the senate, waa a dis
grace, and had It been enacted into law would
have been a national shame. The advocacy of
our retirement from the island and leaving the
people there to their fate, 1s the one bit of
Bryanlsm to which the senator hai been de
voted. To abandon the Philippines at this time
is not to establish the people there in aelf-gor-ernlng
independence, but to leave them helpless
for Japan, Germany, England, Russia or some
other colonizing power to aelste for the purpose
of exploitation, and no one better understands
this than those who sponsored the Hitchcock
bill.
The Jones biU, passed by the house, ex
tends the privilege and responsibilities, of the
Islanders, giving them a still greater measure of
participation In their government, but pre
serve to tbem the protection of the United
Mates, which Is absolutely needed if the na
tives are ever going to bo made self-governing.
If Manuel Quezon Is right in his assertion that
Japan doe not Intend to seize the island, the
likelihood of having to defend them becomes re
mote, and the principal argument for with
drawal disappear.
The vote in the house can only bo inter
preted as notice to the president that be must
revise bis program and secure a readjustment
of his relation with the congress If be is go
ing to bo successful in bis further plans.
Firmnes With Mexico at Laitt
Instruction to (Jenerals Bfcott and Funston
relative to their dealing with General Obregon
concerning our army In Mexico Indicate the
purposo of the president finally to face firmly
the situation that has developed under "watch
ful waiting." The Mexicans must be brought
to understand the importance of early restora
tion of order In their country. Our government
Is not delrous of holding any portion of tho
terrltoty occupied, being solely concerned In
securing tbo safety of It citizens. Carranr.a
Is filled with strange notions, fostered by the
miserable Intrigue that brought him to the fore.
The Interference by President Wilson In Mex
ican politic wa the flrt of a series of blen
der that have proved very embarrassing, but
the relation between the countries may yet
be straightened out, at least to a point where
the border will be safe for American citizens.
Primary Law Defect and Kemediei.
Kdltor If. H. Pease of The Heemer Times,
who ha been nominated for the legislature and
whom we would like to see commissioned to
help make the laws, tails attention to certain
defects of our primary which be would rem
edy. "The primary work out very nicely In
theory," he say, "but Is absolutely 'bum' in
practice," and be illustrates this by citing the
fact that In Decmer precinct there wcro only
twenty-eight republican votes cast out of a nor
mal of eighty-five because many republicans
asked for democratic ballot In order to make
sure of a wet candidate for governor or to tako
Ides In a local couuty treasurer "scrap.'
Whllo opposing the open primary which we
once experimented with so disastrously, Drother
Pease think the remedy la to divide the party
ticket into three sections national, state and
county. "I could then," he uy, "ask for a re
republlean national ticket, a republican stato
ticket and a democratic county ticket or, If I
was a democrat, I could ask for a democratic
national ticket, republican state ticket and
democratic county ticket, etc., and Ihus cou
nearer luy choice than I could pontdbly come In
a straight ticket clear through."
This plan, we fear, would only mako a ba 1
mntter worse, for it would be the old opeu pri
mary over again, only for groups of offices in
stead of for one office at a time. It seem hard to
make people see that a primary election la a
strictly party plebiscite to determine the nom
inee to go on the rarty ticket and that no one
ha a right to a vole In the party council who
Is not a member of that party. Tho primary, it
should be remembered,,! designed merely to en
able the rank and file of the party to participate
In the selection of candidates by marklug their
ballots In their respective voting district instead
of, a formerly, attending in person a caucus or
convention In which the choice for each place
would be put by motion to viva-voce vote. No on
would propose that one and the same contention

Nebraska Wants Hughes
Aurora Advocata; To writ the name of '.harlea
E. IIURho In the primary t ftllot waa no Irilo dream.
It proves tha oulch n:ioii!ia of an Intelligent titiz''n
ahip to a nowapapar auga-enUon, worth while. When
about fifty" Nehraaka editor set atoiit Slvln publicity
to the thought that It wouJd ba poaaltdo ,for Huulie
adyeat to mako thlr cholra clear by altuply writ
ing hla cam on tha ballot the response waa ovnr
wholmlnx. Juat think of It! Tha hiaheal vota ruat
In Nebraska for any providential randldata whoaa
nama wa printed on the ballot and whooe frlenda had
by advertising In newipapara, by perconal lettera, by
speache vrywhera and iraonal appeal to party
Iradera, waa 2S.O0O volea; yet thrra were mora than
half that number of votci actually went Into their
booth and wrote In tho niime of their choice. It
means to h who con comprehend the vautnoaa of
the undertaking that had Juatlce Hughe' name been
printed on the ballot, he would have been the abao
lute choice of Nebraaka republican for preddent Jt,
mean more than an ordlnry Interest In a man when
10,000 men file into the voting plncr and no to tha
patn to write In tha name of any man. Then wi
must not forget that this friendnhlp for Jude Hughe
went on down the Una and crystallzed In the election
of delegate to go to the national convention In Chi
cago In June who had expreaaad pronl peiferenc
for that eandl'ldte.
Hasting Tribunal Whan ft. la taken Into eon
tderatlon that th na,ma of Charle K. Hughes ha. I
to b "written In" on th ballots th result of the
primary election ahnuld b entirely satlafilctory to th
Hughes aupporUr hr. T'ndar the nlreuniatanc It
could hardly m einctd that Hughes would secure
th moat vote. Whllo on the other band with such
a splendid showing maIt for him one would look to
the delegate. sele'-tcd to the republican national eon
vetitton to ascertain tha true sentiment and when
that U done you will find that the majority of them
r Hughe delegate. That tell tha whole atory.
Tekamafl Journal: It 1 highly amunlng to rea:
of tha daepetata efforts of tha Omaha World -Herald
to deprecate tho demand of the republican! of N
braak that Justice Hughes be the candidate of the
ropuhlloan of th United Hlate. Th"re la hardly a
democrat of jfromlncnc who eck the re-alertJott of
Praaldent W'llaon who 1s not opposed to tha nomination
of th Justice. From a political point of view th'-y
look with elnrm upon the attltuda of the people of the
United BtBti-s In making a demand that Justice
Hughe become a candidate for president.
Nellgh leader! The Hughe vote In Nebraska I
fully a Urg a hi frtenda xp"td It would b, It
not lrger. It I a hopeless taak to undertake to gat
a man' name wriiteti In on a ticket over tha slat
enough to give him a plurality. It In a foregone con
elusion that no man whose name wa printed on the
ticket could have changed place with Hughe and
polled t mnny vole a Hughe did.
Kearney Huhi Nebraska gave answer t tha
recent primary for tha entire west, on th matter of
mllltarlum and th was uplrlt. The vol cat for
Henry Ford I taken to mean Just that one thing,
both by Senator Cummins and other candidate for
president, It I also Intended to arv a a notice to
President Wilson that tha newly acquired war policy
1 not In favor, and that If be want to coat tho
fortune of politlca on a war 1sue he will not gt to
flrat baae. Nor Is this to l taken to mean that the
people ar seriously for Ford for president, bla volo
being rather by way of protest against th reeontly
developing tendency at Washington, Interpreted In
thU commotion, th Ford vote In Michigan and Ne
braska Is vary significant. J'Juually significant In Ne
braska 1 the vote cast for Chart B. Hughe, who
waa not a candidate and would not permit hla nam
to be printed on th ballot. HI vote In tha state,
with hi name written In, I reported a approximately
ono-haJf of the vote caat for Ford end Cummins,
wh) name were printed on the ballot, and Several
thousand more than were raat for Beta brook, explolte I
as the "native Nehrnskan." A considerable effort
waa put forth In th tat for Cummin and Eetabrook
but the reaponsa must bo very dlaappolntlng to toth.
Th Fremont Trlbun la proud of tho Hughes vote In
Dodge county, which wa Hi, with 837 each for Ford
and Cummin- H6 also received twenty-eight demo
oratlo vote. The Tribune state that some voters
wrote In Hugh'' name without making the croa In
front, these vote not being oouvted, while In other
voting precincts th election boarda did not return tho
names at all. Pummlng up the Tribune aaya: "Thl
ail show Jiow strongly the voter want Hughe,
Podge county 1 only a fair example of all the coun
ties. Hughes' nomination would sweep Nebraska Into
th republican column tha moment It wa mads." Th
Omaha Itee reaches thl conclusion: "Tho primary
furnlalie conclusive evidence that Charles B. Hughes.
Is the real choice of Nebraaka republican for presU
dont and cinches It by the election of convention dele
gate who have likewise announced Hughes to be their
personal preference." doing outside of Nobiaaka, a
current statement by Governor Whitman of New York:
Is of Interest, tlovcrnor Whitman can eo r.o one but
Hughes In the approaching republican national con
vention and the election thla fall. Ho as.ierfa his be
lief that Hughes la the overwhelming choice of New
York and the country at !ar.

OMAHA, May 1-To the Kdltor of The
Bee: Our attention haji been challenged
by a communication appoarlng In your
Pper over the algnaturea of two gen
tlemen, signing a officers of what 1
ityled "Omaha Playground Aasootatlon,"
and In which these gentlemen generously
critic! the action of the Board of Tub
He Recreation for what appear to them
"wrong in principle."
We are not advised a to Juit what
tbl organisation la or Juat what It haa
dona toward advancing the playground
work In Omaha. We fall to find In the
record where these gentlemen have con
tributed either In money, time or auggea
tlon to th playgrounds of Omaha, but
we ar conscious of the easy freedom
with which one can criticise who doe
not bear the reaponalblllty Incldont to
the service owed by one In public poal
tlon. Irf-st there be misunderstanding from
tha more or less Inaccurate Intimation
In'th communication from these gentle
men, let u state briefly that no ap
pointment have yet been made to the
position of playground ttprvlsor, al
though one might readily Infer from
their statement that such ha been done.
What tha board ha done In fh matter
Is this: Fifteen person hare been nomi
nated; the nominees will ba required
to tike OX) examination for tho purpose
of nsnertHinlng their qualification with
a view to leetlng from their number so
many of those found to be ruallXJcd as
may be reunited.
Th board la not of th opinion that
a written examination I th ol test
of fltnesa for a position such a this, It
Is believed that one might be n excel
lent petitn.-iti, a good inathiiinatlelsn, and
even able to read Creek and 1-a.tln, If
you please, and still h woefully short
In other qualification that would be
essential in thl line of work, Nor do
we entirely agree with th (uggeatlon
in th communication In which It la said:
"Th otlon of tho board Is a rebuff to
trior than a hundred earnest worker
who ar Interested In taking up play
ground lupervlslon a profession."
We bellevtht th pleyground wer
Instituted and are maintained for the
welfare of the children, and that the em
ployment of aupervlsor I Incidental to
this work; not that th playgrounds were
Instituted a a mean of affording a pro
fession or professional position for those
who would take up suoh work, even
though they be earnest worker. Kxperl
ence he taught us that whan appoint
ments r made, or were supposed to
have been made, solely on tha basis of
a competitive examination, several of the
supervisors were persona Imported from
other statea. We have In mind that a
rarent aa last year, tinder that method,
taro person from Illinois and on from
Iowa wer appointed to theae poltlone
person who were not resident of cur
olty who had not helped to make Omaha
th thriving city that It Is, and whose
Interest In It wa Induced by the salary
that it paid. W' do not wish to bo un
derstood aa saying that a person of su
perior qualification from without the
city limits should bo barred, but, all
thing being equal, w believe that those
who have cast their lot In thl city are
more apt to have a heartfelt Interest In
the work than one prompted only by
anlary paid.
Perhaps th gentlemen who erttlcla
with so much deference and -dignity
would find bolter method for eiect"ng
playground supervisor than that adopted
by the Board of Recreation, but In vlow
of their statement that "no criticism I
directed at th Individuals whom the
board ba slctd" we feel oonstralned
to think that perhap form rather than
substance I what they dtilr. If this
b their objective point, w respectfully
differ and aubmlt that In our humbl
opinion results on th playgrounds ar
more to be destredi than servll adhor
ence to any rule-of-thumb method In or
der that selection might b made from
a so-styled "Institute," which waa not
oreatad by or under the direction of the
board and which ba no exllenoe unflar
tat law or city ordlnanc.
We aubmlt thl plain atatoment of
fact for the fair consideration of a
candid public,
