Why Hot Try to Get Together T
Let us counsel more earnest effort by the em
ploying contractors and striking building trade
laborers to reach an agreement before more dam
age is done.
Only the wilfully blind will seek to disguise
the fact that the industrial situation in Omaha
today is decidedly precarious, if not ominous, with
danger that the strike may extend to other trades
and avocations, snd it is foolish to shut our eyes
to the tad consequences that would accompany a
more widespread disturbance.
Local business has only shortly reached the
point of being "good" and building improvements
under way and in prospect never gave Omaha
a more encouraging outlook. But no large body
of our working people can be idle for any length
of time without producing a depressing effect on
trade conditions generally, because wages that are
not earned cannot be spent and money frightened
away from investment is not put in circulation.
So far as there may be merit in the working
men's demand they are entitled to consideration,
and so are the grievances and difficulties of the
building contractors, but, above both, the inter
ests of the public demand at least a real attempt
to get together now before the best part of the
building teason, which is short enough in itself,
shall be worse than wasted.
Disease, the Doctors and the State.
One of the" papers at the present convention
of Nebraska doctors, said to have' been roundly
applauded, criticised the profession in direct
terms because of the fee bugaboo' The doctor
who prepared the paper said that much of con
trollable disease would disappear were it not for
the fact that the poor are deterred from applying
for medical help because of their dread of feet
they are unable to meet. That the doctor, as any
one, is entitled to the reward that is legitimately
his will not be disputed. That most doctors do
give their services without hope or expectation
of fee is also true, If "privately feed medicine"
has failed to attain the ideal of efficiency the de
voted practitioner dreams of, may it not be
ascribed in some measure to the ignorance of the
poor snd the innate aversion of many of them to
seeking assistance for which they cannot give
compensation? The medical profestlon does
have its members who demand fees and will not
serve without them, but it also has others as
skilled and at learned who not only will, but do,
give their services to any or all who come their
way, whose first thought it service, and to whom
self is always secondary. These men and women
are the glory of the profession. Whether adop
tion of any plan for state administration of heal
ing or of preventive medicirte will do away with
the condition complained of may be questioned.
Experience with epidemics has proven that gen
erally the present machinery of the law is effec
tive, This does not touch on the ethical point
involved, it being pretty well out of reach of the
law,
Food Control in Germany.
The appointment of a "food dictator" for
Germany, as announced from London and else
where, indicates that Germany is still( more
closely co-ordinating its central government. No
reason exists for thinking that any serious short
age of food menaces the people of the central
empires of Europe, Exact figures arc unobtaina
ble, but it is certain the crops last season were
up to the normal In both Germany snd Austria.
The great wheat fields were undisturbed by war
and the Hungarian yield is known to have been
above the normal, while other forms of agricul
ture have been pursued with accustomed energy,
No shortage of help has been encountered, for
the Germans have used large numbers of priton
ers to carry on their farm work. The resources
of the empire are practically untouched in this
regard, and their armies are still subsisting
largely on supplies accumulated in anticipation
of the event,
Nor is it In the matter of food alone that Ger
many has provided for its needs in the tremen
dous war. Whether or not foundation exists for
some of the tales of wonderful inventions and
discoveries made of late, it is known that the
kaiser's armies have been able to' use munitions
without stint, and have at no time shown any
lack of supplies. In France and Belgium the
Teutons hold possession of the coal and iron; in
Ciglicia of the petroleum, and these give an ad
vantage the Allies recogniie. As an example of
what hat really been done, the Smithsonian In
stitution is authority for the statement that Ger
many's capacity for artificially producing nitrates
list been expsnded since the beginning of the war
from less than 000,000 tont annually to more than
1,500.000 tont.
The food dictator's business chiefly will be to
prevent waste, and see that resources are not dit
tipaied. The control thus established may ettily
he projected beyond the war, at a further evi
denre of the German geniut for detail.

Presidential Politics
Staff Washington Correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Ledger: Justice Hughes today (May
21,), according to shrewd political observers here,
has full control of the Republican presidential sit
uation. His position, which has been predomi
nant for weeks, was so emphasized by the Ore
gon election yetterday at to indicate a stampede
to him before the assembling of the convention.
Upon authority of the manager of one of the
"favorite son" candidates a candidate who en
tered the field chiefly to prevent the Old Guard
from obtaining control of the delegates this
candidate will declare for Justice Hughes before
the balloting begins and by so doing give Hughes
a clear majority on the second or third ballot.
The purpose of the move is to overcome activi
ties of Roosevelt and to destroy any deals the
Old Guard leaders may attempt to arrange. The
plan is to make Hughes the nominee free from
entangling alliances.
More than two-thirds of the Republican dele
gates are uninstructed. Of this number fully 400
are favorable to Hughes and when the declaration
is made by this "favorite son" candidate he may
gain sufficient delegates, pledged and unpledged,
to force a nomination on an early ballot.
This is not the only indication of a rush to
Hughet. Other "favorite ton" candidates, who
command in all fewer than 290 of the delegates,
are telling their friends privately that they can
not see any way to defeat Hughes,
The activities of the Roosevelt league and the
colonel himself, foreboding an aggressive contest
in the Republican convention for Roosevelt, are
other fsctors which in the last few days have so
lidified a sentiment that existed in a half-hearted
degree for Hughes. Republican leaders opposed
to Roosevelt and averse to accepting Hughes be
cause of his indifference to politicians, are forced
to accept Hughes' candidacy as the only recourse.
If they continue to display indifference they are
afraid Roosevelt will grow in strength and enter
the convention a formidable contender.
In Pennsylvania, with Brumbaugh controlling
g portion of the delegates, all of whom are favor
able to Roosevelt in the final analysis, the Pen
rose leaders are forced to take a position friendly
to Hughes. If they do not make their position
clear soon some of the delegates will be captured
by Roosevelt, The Penrose leaders hope to hold
their delegates together by voting for Knox on
the early ballot, but this course is admitted to be
filled with danger and Pennsylvania congressmen
are expecting to find many Penrose delegates de
claring for Hughes in advance of the convention.
The failure of the Brumbaugh organization to
elect more delegates in Pennsylvania, such dele
gates being intended for use finally by Roosevelt,
has tended to weaken the Colonel.
The Progressives were looking to Pennsyl
vania to elect fully thirty-nine delegates for
Roosevelt.
Roosevelt lost in the only state where hie
name actually went before the people Massa
chusetts. Hughes, placed in a similar position
being an unwilling candidate in Oregon came
out an overwhelming victor.
Early returns give Hughes a big majority over
the combined vote of his rivals, Cummins and
Burton. The greatest significance is in the fact
that Justice Hughes not only defeated Cummins,
the progressive, but Burton, the conservative. In
other words, the voters of all factions in the Re
publican party united upon Hughes, the unde
clared candidate. This resulted, too, after a com
plete campaign by Senator Cummins. Senator
Borah, while declining to comment upon the Re
publican situation, said respecting the election in
Oregon:
"What happened there was not unexpected by
me. If Justice Hughes had permitted his name
to go on the ballot he would have won every
state in the union."
Meanwhile Justice Hughes remains silent. All
efforts made today to elicit a statement from him
on the returns from Oregon were unsuccessful.
Former Postmatter General Frank Hitchcock,
who is In charge of the Hughes movement, was In
Washington, but was compelled to admit that he
was still without the slightest indication from
Justice Hughes that he approved the activity in
his behalf or that be would accept the nomination
if the convention named him.
Some of the candidates from the middle west
find in the present situation cause for satisfaction.
Their managers believe, or at least claim to be
lieve, that the first battle at the convention will be
between the Roosevelt and Hughes forces, and
that out of the contest between the two leaders
a situation may arise which will compel the eon
vention to return to the men in the second rank
Cummins, Fairbanks, Burton or Sherman.

. Plebelaa, Tet Doing Tolerably WalL
Omaha. May 14. To the Editor of The
Bee: Juat a few words from an ordinary
eltiaen In regard te the opinion of the
wonderful conking expert from the eett,
who eaya mashed potatoes are so "plebe
ian." "Plebeian" meane common or vul
gar, according to Webster. Doee anyone
mean to tell goods sensible people that good
old potatoes, boiled and meshed, are toe
plebeian for Omaha people? And a table
cloth at breakfast la plebeian? Or, aa this
cooking expeet says. Is vulgar? Whether
at breakfaat or at any other meal, give me
a nice, clean, white tablecloth, and I'll
bet I voice the sentiment of nlne-tenthe of
sensible people. The people of Omaha seem
to thrive and get along quite well, consider
ing the plebeian vutgtr way of cooking and
serving food. Oh. well, we are just corn,
man people eat here, anyway.

hod carriers, atone setters' helpers, plaster

all building laborers such as concrete work
ers, brick wheelers, mortar wheelers, eto., it
cents per hour; third, all excavating, such
aa cellar digging, aewee and atreet work,
etc., 10 cente per hour."
Itememberlng the fact that the nature
of the building Industry renders Impossible

prosperous tlmee, It will be seen that even
If all got what le demanded only for the
flrat cleat of workers, they would be get
ting leee than 100 a year, the amount
which social eervlre esperts say l required
to maintain a family decently, and a figure
which a great many who have tried It de
clare le too low.
Certainly the demands are not unreason
able, If they heve any fault. It Is that they
are too low. The atrlkere are human be

Omaha. May 24. To the Editor of The
Been The petitions for a constitutional
convention In Nebraska have already been
signed by many cltlttns ef all classes, In
cluding farmers, merchants, bankers, law
yera, dootors, laborers and property own
era; also by republicans, democrats, "wets,"
"try," socialists and by many neutrals,
who forgot to register under any party label.
The demand for It Is ao general that It haa
suffered only from the want of aetlve oppo
sition. It wee In danger of atagnatlng for
that reason. But now, even that lack has
been supplied. A writer In an Omaha paper
sounds an alarm. He aays the promoters of
this movement for a constitutional conven
tion are going ahead "despite the wishes of
men and oorporate managers who pay most
of the teiee." The same writer points out
that by the proposed plan of holding a con
stitutional eonventlon "men In every legis
lative district may file for the office of mem
ber ef the constitutional convention and be
elected like members of the legislature are
choeen" presumably, Instead of being des
ignated by the corporate managers afore
said. Theae be grave evlle Indeed. They almost
warrant the organisation of some kind of a
protective league, with a well-filled treas
ury and a well-paid publicity agent, to
combat them.
In truth, however, the movement for a
constitutional convention la not nearly so
rabid or revolutionary as this warning nets
would seem to Indicate. Ne one Intends to
hold a eonatltutlonal convention without the
eonaent of the people of Nebraska. No one
Is even trying to call a constitutional con
vention, with good or bad Intent. It Is
merely proposed that an opportunity shall
be given to the whole people of Nebraeka,
at the general election neat November, to
decide for themeelvea whether or not they
shall oall a constitutional eonventlon. If
they do, the whole people of Nebraska will
control It. It will be run. It la to be hoped,
neither by the "corporate managere" re
tarred to, nor by the committeee now seek
ing to obtain signatures to the petition, but
by the members elected to repreeent the
people. And when It adjourns, lie work
must again be submitted te the people et a
subsequent election, before the proposed
amendments ran take effect. Where, then,
la the danger? TRANCIS A. BKOO AN.

PEOPLE LIKED HIM.
Edward A. Oueet, In Detroit Free Free.
People liked him, not becauee
He was rich, or known to feme,
He had never won applause
As a star In any game.
Hie was not a. brilliant etyle,
His was not a forceful way.
But he hed a gentle smile
And a kindly word to say.
Never arrogant or proud,
On he went with manner mild,
Never quarrelsome or loud.
Just as simple ee a child,
Honeet, patient, brave and true
Thus he lived from day to day,
Doing what he found to do
In a cheerful sort of way.
Wasn't one to boast of gold
Or belittle It with sneers.
Didn't change from hot to cold,
Kept his friends throughout the years.
Rort of man you like to meet
Any time or any place.
There was alwaya aomethlng sweet
And refreshing In his face.
Sort of man you'd Ilka to be.
Balanced well and truly square;
Patient In adversity,
