"MACHINE" PRESIDENTIAL
NOMINATIONS.
" The esteemed Brooklyn Eagle, advocating
h nomination of Mr. Hoover as a republican
eandidate for president, bemoans the activity of
lit so-called "machine," and regrets its potency
N determining the choice of candidates. This
from a democratic newspaper, which will sup
port the nominee of the San Francisco conven
tion, no matter who he may be, ought to be
musing. Alongside it might be ranged the
Indignant outburst of Senator Johnson, disap
pointed because he does not have the support
t New York. .
-I All this would be important, were it not for
the fact that in each case may be noted a dis
petition to ignore the plain facts of political
history. From the very beginning of our gov
aroment, groups of men whose patriotism is
beyond question, whose motives have been justi
fied by the event, have sought to direct the con
trol of conventions and elections. Some mis
takes have undoubtedly beet) made, but the
menu for correcting them were not only avail
able, but soon -were applied, and the forward
movement of the nation continued. Representa
tive government has persisted because it has
been found serviceable,
., Examine the history of the republican party
for confirmation of this. Abraham Lincoln was
neither unversed in the science nor unskilled in
the practice of politics. Local elections in
Illinois, service in congress, and his campaign
against Douglas had taught him much. Go to
Chicago and watch David Dudley Field, Simon
Cameron, William H. Seward and other big men
of the new party as they maneuvered and bar
gained before the nomination of Lincoln was
brought about. Get the record of the Cincinnati
convention when Rutherford B. Hayes was
named, or the gathering at Philadelphia when
McKinley was renominated and Roosevelt
forced to accept second place on the ticket. Was
the public interest betrayed at either of these
conventions? .
?j The outcome was the result of the combined
judgment of the leaders of the party, and good
came to the people from their action. No party
"boss" was ever so maligned as Mark Hanna,
and yet he gave the country McKinley and led
the campaign that saved the country from the
vagaries of Bryan in 1896. Americans have
little to fear from the deliberations of a repub
lican national convention.
' ' Strike of the Switchmen.
Interstate commerce is being seriously in
terfered with by the action of switchmen and
other railroad employes, who are striking for
increased pay and to enforce other demands,
v . ' The most difficult phase of the affair arises from
the fact that the men, although acting in con
cert, and defying, the leaders of their great
femions, are going about the business blindly and
with no definite purpose save to exact com
pliance with hastily formulated requests for
relief.
; How much of this is due to impulses re
strained while the roads were under govern
ment control, and how much may be looked
Itpoa as a protest against the steadily increas
4f cost of ' living, will perhaps never be
known. That. the schedule of pay governing in
the Chicago yards, where the troble originated,
M low may be admitted, but the steps taken to
remedy this appear rather drastic. If the strike
becomes general, as it now threatens, the situa
tion will not be that of civil war, threatened
when it was proposed to tie up the roads against
the government, but will partake of the nature
Of gigantic hold-up.
The effect of the action on the cause of the
men is bound to be bad, for it discredits .the
unions to which they belong. An agreement
was made that strikes would not be called until
full and fair test had been made of the plan
provided in the new law for settling wage dis
putes on railroads. Unauthorized "insurgent"
or "outlaw" strikes may compel compliance with
demands, but will not assist in reaching a final
settlement.
Conscientious labor leaders realize the harm
,-Tnat will come from this disturbance incident
f 0 domination of radical views, but are power
less to control men who throw off all restraint
hut their own passions. Whatever may be the
erid of this strike, it will not be of assistance
to organized labor in America, becau.e it de
stroys public confidence in the integrity of the
unions.
' V Anything to Lengthen the Payroll.
The Department of Agriculture is at ir again.
People will remember its exploit of two or
three years ago when it sent its partisan agents
over fifteen or twenty states "teaching" the
wives of farmers how to make cottage cheese.
It afforded delightful automobile outings to
hundreds of democrats over the country with
all expenses paid by the government and $5
. , day "velvet," if we remember the per diem.
The enterprise didn't last long, however,' when
"the farmers began writing to their congress
men to know, by heck, what sort of darn fools
were spending public money to teach their
"wives something they had known all abou! ever
'since they learned to milk.
" " The latest freak educational -stunt ot the de
' partmeot is to s"end out a book to farmers'
wives all over the union on the "Selection and
Care of Clothes." Imagine a farmer's wife who
has cut down dad's trousers to fit three boys
at intervals of two years, reading such stuff
as ''socks should be-long enough not to cramp
the toes," and "clothing should always be com
fortable and healthful," and "men's hats may be
freshened by reblocking and renewing the rib
bon." .
However, something must be clone to keep
the vast army of democratic flotsam and jetsam
in Washington on the payroll.
What Shall Nebraska's Answer Be?
More and more the foresight of those who
first grasped the potential possibilities of the
candidacy of General Pershing for president is
being justified by events and the deeper cur
rents of opinion all over the country. In no
city, town, village or rural neighborhood where
loyalty to American institutions abides, has
there come a note of disapproval of Pershing
the general or Pershing the man. And from
no republican source comes even a hint that his
nomination would not be followed by his elec
tion. That is as certain in popular belief as was
the election of Grant and Roosevelt after the
Civil and the Spanish-American wars.
Nebraska has, therefore, through General
Pershing a candidacy that will meet no unkind
ness where the American flag is loved and re
spectedan asset of enormous value in direct
ing public favor toward any man. His serious
wisdom, his human sympathy, his sense of
humor, the manly charm of his personality, his
great achievements, and his devotion and at
tention to regular duties while other candidates
have dropped everything else to seek party
preference, have had a powerful influence upon
the people at large. In the homes of the nation,
urban and rural alike, when the heads of repub
lican families sit by their lamps, or firesides in
the evening and talk of the convention to come
at Chicago next June, none but friendly words
are spoken of Pershing.
It is in these same homes that the election
also will be decided, long before the November
ballots are cast. The home is the real center
ot American politics, now more than ever be
fore, but always decisively so; and when men
hesitate to make a choice between good men
for any office, the first question they ask is:
"What do they think of him at home?"
That is the question the nation is asking
today about General Pershing, and it is directed
to Nebraska. It must be answered by Nebraska
on April 20. Answered right, Nebraska and
fier candidate will at once become possessor
of a national volume of political influence that
gives every promise of being decisive at the
Chicago convention. '
It's all up to Nebraska to the republicans
of Nebraska to bring about this most desir
able crystallization of public sentiment, that will
be felt," and in the end heeded, by every dele
gate to the national convention.
"There is a tide in the affairs" of states, as
well as of men, "which, taken at the flood, leads
on to fortune." That tide is now rising in Ne
braska. It will be at the flood on April 20.
If the republicans fail to take it, can they com
plain if afterward "all the voyage of their
(political) life is bound in shallows and in mis
erics?" For the good name of their state and
the good wishes of their party associates in
other states, the republicans of Nebraska should
launch the candidacy of their greatest fellow
citizen on the full tide. They must protect and
care for their own. They will do so. en
thusiastically, there is every reason to believe!
A Match for the Gods.
A New York correspondence recounts a
meeting between "T. R." and "Black Jack"
Pershing in a Cuban canebrake on a rainy night.
Each was in quest of a pair of errant mules,
neither knew the other, and both were bent on
a single point, the possession of a span of long
eared Missouri mocking birds. What was said
on that occasion must have been Homeric. No
one who knew "the Colonel" ever questioned
his ability to express himself, and those close to
Pershing give him credit with similar ability.
The man who tells the story says Pershing got
the mules. Buck privates then present doubtless
cherish the incident as one of their rare ex
periences, and that it is preserved as an army
classic may not be doubted. What a match it
wasl A combination of ability, persistency and
real American determination, to a finish in off
hand argument. It will be a long time before
another such occasion arises. Maybe Roosevelt
recalled, the incident when he jumped Captain
Pershing over so many heads to make him a
brigadier general, but he did a good job both
times.
Hiram and Herbert Lock Horns.
On May 4, from present indications, there
will be a battle royal in the republican primaries
in California. Hiram Johnson and Herbert
Hoover will contest for the laurel wreath usu
ally referred, to as the favorite sonship of the
great state on the Pacific. Many things are
going to happen before May 4, and some of
them may entirely change the existing situa
tion on the cost. But if Herbert and Hiram
fail to fade each other in other portions of the
union it will be a tooth and toenail event in
California. Hiram has the advantage of the
senatorship, and Herbert that of eastern sup
port, and California is likely to go to the one
whose outlook at Chicago is least depressing.
Either of them may have the opportunity to
lead the break to General Pershing on the last
ballot. '
A Washington correspondent says the presi
dent's spirit is broken because Washington
throngs no longer cheer him. He should not
despair they have merely become accustomed
to him.
The houe will do its share to end the state
of war today. Let the senate follow promptly,
and see if the president disagrees.

' H. J. Brown, Chief of Police.
MR. HOOVER'S weakness as a candidate
is that he is too international, too solar-system-wide,
too cosmic. In its experience,, the present
generation will not know a time when there
will be more need of nationalism, of intensive
interest in one's own affairs as a nation. Those
who say, "We don't want a military man," would
change their tune quickly enough if an emer
gency arose demanding a military man. And
the offing is crowded with emergencies.

MAYOR ED P. SMITH.
The city that is fitted with a large and able
chief is justified in giving up a sigh of great
relief; for mayors are not all alike and few are
up to snuff; they pose before the camera and
throw a constant bluff; they make a wild and
foolish speech or go upon a toot, or otherwise
they compromise their city's good repute.
The uses of a mayorship are difficult to
state. They show a large variety of color, form
and weight. But there is one utility of valua
ble pith forever in the roomy mind of Mayor
Ed P. Smith. He sees in it a stepping stone by
which his feet may rise and plant their shoes
upon a job of greater class and size.
For lawyers are not always doomed to prac
tice in the courts, since law itself's a vestibule
to other indor sports. Ed made a mint of
money from Nebraska's corn and wheat, and
cherished it with competence sagacious and dis
creet It gives an independence to his attitude
and walk, for he can simply close his ear when
bosses try to talk.
When critics judge his efforts with unkindly
words and strong, he writes a letter which ad
mits that they may not be wrong, but hopes
we won't interpret it by such a hazy light that
we will hasily adjudge the critics to be right;

How to Keep Well
By Dr. W. A. EVANS
Zffta&oes
. PHYSICAL OVERSTRAIN.
While exercise is good, like all
other good things, it can be over
done. Several years Dr. J. II. Bar
ach had an opportunity to study 24
athletes before and after a marathon
race. The men all, except one, were
in prime condition just before the
race. Ho had a little albumin in his
urine. Maybe had trained too hard.
The distance run was 24.85 miles.
The time consumed varied between
three hours and 14 minutes and four
hours and 15 minutes.
Of the 19 finishing all had albumin
and casts in the urine and 18 had
blood in the urine and also evidence
of acidosis. One week later all 19
still had albumin and six casts in
the urine. Three weeks after the
race three had albumin and casts.
This study Barach supplemented
by one made on 57 normal young
men before and after base ball and
track work. One hour and 50 min
utes of base ball caused one man to
loose 5.5 pounds. The average loss
per man per game of base ball was
1.3 pounds, principally due to loss
of water and remediable by drinking
a few glasses of water.
The average time spent in run
ning by each track men was 48.1 min
utes. Seventy -seven per cent of all the
men showed albuminuria after their
hard play. Of 36 who played base
ball 2S developed albumin in the
urine. Of 18 track men 16 developed
albuminuria. Seventy-one per cent
of the track men developed hyaline
and granular casts and blood in the
urine. Twenty-three per cent of the
base ball players had the same ef
fects develop. There was an increase
in the acidity of the urine in most
of the cases but the cases in which
mcst ordinary acidity developed
were not always those developing
albumin and casts.
The boys who showed the greatest
degree of disturbance of the pulse,
hear- -r-:e!ation and blood pressure
were those who showed more evi
dence of temporary acute Bright's
disease. Perhaps here is one of the
reasons for the fairly well established
fact that competing athletes do not
live to old age as a rule, also for the
fact that many of them develop
symptoms of organic crippling early
in life.
Here, also, is an argument for uni
versal participation by all the stud
ent body in exercises geared lower.
What we know as major competitive
athletics is set at two swift a pace
for any except the few. The result
is that the great bulk of the student
bedy become onlookers. Except in
the universities where physical de
velopment is planned the average
student does not get enough exer
cise to keep his muscles in prime
condition, Dr. Barach furnishes
good proof that even the picked men
are not equal to the strain put on
tfcem by competitions in major ath
letics. ,

they are not cognizant of the fact
that they are privileged to vote on
the ratification of the new constitu

proposal, the women's minimum
wage proposal and other meritorious
proposals. Without the women's

fail to pass. I fear some of the worn

Save Something for
the Future Now
You will never know
how much you can save
until something forces
you to economize to the
limit.
Then you will realize
that you might have
been saving more with
out any sacrifice of
comfort, social standing
or anything really nec
essary. But you know you
can save something, so
start a Savings Account
at .this bank, the oldest
in Nebraska, and turn
all your spare change
into it for the next few
years.
Keep up this saving and
you will be rich some
day.
