Verdun t Turning Point.
Verdun may or may not be the turning
point in the present great war In Europe, but
It Is known aa ona of tha turnltuf points ln
human history. Europe's geography, politics,
Industry, social life, all were affected and In
soma degree turned Into their present course
by a transaction at Verdun eleven hundred and
two years ago. It was tbcro the grandaons of
Cbarlemsgne met, ln the year 814, after some
three years of bootless battle, and divided the
omplra built up by their grandfather. That
portion which Is known aa Italy fell to Lothatre,
Charles took what Is now Trance, and Bpaln,
and Louis the Germanic bad for bis portion the
German empire. It Is Interesting In this con
nection, also to not that then Louis was en
gaged In combat against Charles and Lothalre
for control of the empire, and the outcome was
the division.
It was at Verdun that Charlemagne's
dream of restoring the Roman empire came
definitely to an end. Many and various reasons
are given by historians and political philoso
phers for the event and the results that fol
lowed. Oulxot mentions them all, but declines
to give to any determining Influence, rather
ascribing to the combination of all, and to some
lesser and even neglected considerations the
fixing of European destiny. It la certain,
though, that from that meeting at Verdun, the
second held by the brothers at the place for the
same purpose, proceeded most of Europe's his
tory for the last thousand years.
How Custom Change Creed.
Certain changes in the discipline of the
Methodist EplHcop&l church are recommended
by a committee, mainly because the penalty
prescribed for certain enumerated offenses has
become a doad letter. At the time the church
was organized the rules and regulations for
the guidance of Its members were formulated,
specified actions were locked upon as venal if
not mortal sins, and were Inhibited under pain
of expulsion. Slowly but surely the disposition
of the membership of the church has risen to
a point, where these stringent rules are no
longer applicable. This l not to be taken as
proof that the foundations of the church 'are
being undermined, nor that the moral fiber of
lis membership Is deteriorating. If anything,
it shows a better conception of the "whole
duty of man," and that reverential worship of
God does not reo.ulro absolute and rigid absten
tion from all forms of pleasure on earth.
Macsuley describes the change In manners
that came to the English people with the
KeMloratlon as a revulsion against the enforced
asrertlrlsm under the rule of Cromwell. This
brought with it such extent of license that
today we marvel that su'h a state of public
ml net could have existed. Good sense ulti
mately prevailed, and England was purged of
the Ilc.entlouHnesa that disgusted even its de
votees, and public and private morals were es
tablished on a reasonable basis. The Puritans
persisted in clinging to their stern code, and
brought it intact to this country, where, as has
wittily been said of them, "they sought liberty
to worship God In their own fashion and make
everybody else do the same." The point Is that
custom changes creed, and time changes cus
tom. The great sectarian divisions of the com
mon church are slowly working to eliminate
some of the Inconsequential oif their several
creeds, holding fast to the essentials, and with
out surrendering any part of their high claims
and definite purpose, are bringing their dogma
more and more Into line with rational devel
opment resulting from increased experience and
steadily advancing wisdom.
Japan Pressing Iti Poijit.
While the United States has been busy with
Germany and Mexico, Japan has taken occasion
to reopen an embarrassing dispute, and Is press
ing Its point determinedly. At the tlmo when
the German crisis was most acute. Baron
Chlnda, Japanese ambassador, demanded audi
ence with President Wilson, and formally pro
tested against the language of the Immigration
bill, Just passed by the house a'nd now before
the senate. Primarily, the baron objects to
having the Japanese classified with the Hindus
In the enumeration of those who cannot be
admitted as Immigrants. To group his coun
trymen with the Hindu, he protents, is an In
sult against which Nipponese pride revolts,
what llaron Chlnda really objects to is the en
actment Into law of the Hay-Takahlia "gentle
man's agreemeut." by which the dispute arising
during Roosevelt's time In office was quieted,
and which Is yet in effect, although liable to
abrogation at any tlnn. Paron ( hinda reso
lutely holds to his purpose that the Japanese
hhall not be Included with tha proscribed classes
to whom entry Is forbidden. The Immigration
bill Is being held up In the senate, awaiting
word from the preldent, who Is said to be
lowly ielding tu the pressure from Japan.
The situation i Interesting for many
reaions, not the least being the president's
choice as i whom he prefers to offend -the
people of Japan or thoe of the Pacific rot

of prsatdanttal poaalbllltlaa.
Evan friends of Colonel Rooaevalt hers ara bealn
nlng to admit that Hughs now atanda a soinawliat
tr ohwnca of winning tha nomination than doea
tha colonal. Thay attribute this to the fact that th-
"old guard" lias won oontrol of tha convention and
will dlutat tha nomination and that th old guard,
whlls harboring little lova for Jtughas. will gladly
throw him Its support In order to fraet out
lloosavalt,
Hughes' stock has baan boomed tremendously by
Oaorga W. Perkins' statement that the prograaaiva
party la for "peace, but not peace at any prloe," tn
which It was strongly Intimated that tha progreaalira
convention is not irrevocably bent upon the nomina
tion of Rooeevelt, but will accept any candidate who
stands for progressive principles.
Republican leaders of all shades of opinion regard
this as tantamount to a declaration that the progres
sives would accept Hughes but would not accept
Ttoot
It now Is taken for grantod that Hughes will not
prevent his name from being presented to the conven
tion and balloted upon. He has refused to be put in
tha position of aeeklng the honor, but has carefully
refrained from saying that be would not socpt it if
proffered to him.

Literary Digest: Presidential polls are of all kinds,
"many of them signifying nothing," remarks the New
York Evening Post (Ind.), but tha poll of republican
lawmakers compiled by the Literary Digest has "more
thsn the usual meaning." The reference Is to the
Insua of April 29, In which we presented the first and
major portion of the results ef our Inquiry smong
republican and progressiva state leglelstors through
out the country as to their choice of presidential can
didates. Now we give the complete snd final returns
of almost two thousand replies, and this additions)
Information confirms rsther than modifies the results
previously shown. As the Kvenlng Post notes, If we
eliminate a lot of local favorites, "the clear tendency
la to concentrate upon three candidates .of national
fame," who are, In the order of the votes cast,
Hughes, ftoosevelt snd Boot. The supreme court Jus
tics receives S!H votes, the ex-prealrtrnt 352 and the
ex-senator from New York VH. This Journal thinks
that the poll Is particularly Interesting as being "one
sign moro of the country-wide strength of the un.
avowed candidacy of Justice Hughes," and to the New
York Kun (Ind.) it recalls the fact that Col. Gnor
Harvey of the North American Review vouches for
Justice Hughes ss the candidate whom "only the peo
ple" want. To the Waterbury Republican (Rep.) the
poll la suggestive ss showing that 'the bent thing the
national convention can do Is to nominate Hughes
unless some Inconceivable crlels, arising out of the
submarine controversy, shall bring about the over
whelming demand for Itoosevclt which so many have
expected but which as not yet materialized." In the
view ef the Richmond Tlmes-Dlapatch (Dem.) the poll
may have proved that the grand old party does not
witnt the colonel, but this by no means Indicates that
the party will not get him, snd it confesses that If
"he does not succeed In bludgeoning the Chicago con
vention Into nominating him the colonel and the
Times-Dlapatch will be surprlaed and pained,"
Incidentally It Is to be noted that favorite sons are
still supported In their home states and to some degree
elsewhere, ss msy be discerned In the vote of M for
Mr. Cummins of Iowa, R2 for Mr. Burton of Ohio. W
for former Vine President Falrhsnks of Indiana, 0.'
for Mr. Pherman of Illinois, SW for Mr. Weeks or
Massachusetts, 47 for Mr. I Follette of Wisconsin,
11 for finnator Borsh of Idaho and 7 for Governor

"What National Guard Needs Moat.
OMAHA. May .-To the Editor of The
Bee: After a careful atudy of the status
of the local companies ef tha Nobraska
National Guard, I am firmly convinced
that the main thing they lack Is a lot
of co-operation on th part of the citl
rnris of Omaha.
I was very much surprised when I
noted the attenance, one organisation
had three officers and two men, none of
them had ven a fair attendance. The
drill floor Is insdequate, is scarcely large
enough for a Woodmen team let alone
a military organisation. The men who
were preaent were earnest . snd eager
young man, able and willing to learn. Th
officer seem to be above the average In
Intelligence and are striving to build
Up a real mean of defense in caae we
need them.
When w consider that this Is our main
dependence In case of war, and In view
of all the preparedness- talk, It seems to
m that th cltlien of Omah houl b
vitally Interested ln th guard.
'Th laat two Sundays I have been out
to East Omaha, wher the new rifle
rang Is being- constructed, Of the
twnty-flv or twenty-six members of the
guard present more than half were of
ficers, not directing the work las some
would have us believe), but actually doing
lt-men who, ln civil life are attorneys,
business men and executives, were
shoveling dirt, dumping slips and doing
the labor making the best of th little
wa give them snd striving to make the
most of It. And after the range Is fin
ished they will teach as many men as
they can Intereat to shoot straight.
It aeems to me, that If these men,
whose Sundays and evenings are Just as
vstljable to them as yours or mine, give
their time and thought to building a first
class military organization, teaching our
young men the rudiments of military
training and how to take care of them
selves In the field, th least w can do
is to help them all we can.

J. O. W., A VETERAN OP THE CIVIL
WAR.
Wants a Constitutional Convention.
OMAHA, May W. -To the Editor of The
Roe: In the midst of more compelling
and dramatic Issues st home snd abroad,
tti attention of the voters of Nebraska
1m In danger of being diverted from the
need of a constitutional convention to re
vise its fundamental laws. The reasons
why such a step Is imperatively neces
sary are. chiefly:
Reform In Judicial procedure and ln the
constitution of the courts. For mor
than twenty-five years the lawyers of
Ncbrasks, sided somewhat loosely and
Inefficiently by public 'opinion, hav en
deavored to bring about th necessary
changes. Much, apparently, ha been
accomplished, yet the results ar few.
It Is still a common experience to meet
with a delay of two or three years In th
disposition of a lawsuit, where six
months for th proceedings In the lower
court and the hearing and determination
of the appeal should be sufficient, and
Instances are not rare where delays of
five or six years hav occurred In the
more Intricate and complicated cases, In
which not more than a year and a half
should hav been found necessary. It
Is remarkable how people should con
tinue to submit to the law's delay, as If
it was one of the necessary evils of
mundane existence, Just ss our ancestors
submitted to typhus, smallpox and yel
low fever, until modern science demon
strated that they were not necessary
evils. And delays are not the only do
fecta In our eyatem of administering Jus
tice, which could be removed by a more
enlightened system. It will be Impossi
ble to bring forward, discuss and put
Into effect successful reforms, except
through the medium of a constitutional
convention.
The short ballot. It Is becoming more
and more evident that tlia reforms in the
election laws, put Into effect In the last
ten years, have not accomplished the
purpose Intended. The people of Ne
braska, like the people of other states In
the union, becoming exasperated at the
manner In nhlch polltlcsl conventions
aii'l th old system of nominating effl--ers
wers frequently manipulated by self.
Ish Interests, turned Instinctively to a
more direct and popular control over
nominations. Tha experiment of the pri
mary for all offices has besn tried, and,
as applied to the present pnlltteal sv
tem. It has been found wanting, snd a
mere change In the prlmsry laws or a
reversion to some modified convention
svstion w en 1,1 neither remove the defects
tior tneei the difficulties tn K Constitu
tional convention. In whlnh the wnh
