1 NEBRASKA PRIMARY RESULTS.
While the returns from the Nebraska primary
are coming in that slow fashion to which we
are accustomed, enough has been learned to
shadow clearly the principal results.
Senator Hiram Johnson has been endorsed
as the republican preferred for president. This
i so because a majority of ithe voters wanted
hinv On the democratic side, Senator Hitch
cock had no opposition, and will go to San
Francisco with the advantage of the popular
support of Nebraska democrats. He will have
the handicap of a 'state delegation, headed by
.William Jennings Bryan, who declared in ad
vance that he would not cast his vote for Mr.
Hitchcock in the convention. 'This is one cf the
anomalies of the primary system.
Apparently Governor McKelvie is given' the
Compliment of a nomination for a second term;
to be opposed by John H. Morehead, whose
success in face of the opposition of
both the Hitchcock and Bryan groups is
a decided tribute to his personal pop
ularity. The women seem to have had their re
venge on Arthur Mullen, the democratic na
tional committeeman, who is to be succeeded by
William H. Thompson, the "Little Giant," an
avowed Bryan adherent;
Analysts and antiquarians may find satisfac
tion in dissecting the vote, but the ordinary
mortal gets little out of such "post mortem"
proceedings. The voters have made their de
cision, from which there is no appeal. A sur
cease from politics is now possible for Ne
braska until June, affording ample time for the
planting of crops and doing of other work that
is needed to carry ori the business of the state.
Let us turn our attention for the moment from
statecraft to the homely but essential joys of
domestic life, and see that nothing is lacking
for another season of prosperity in Nebraska.
A Prophesy at the Polls.
; A voter of many years' experience when ap
proaching the polling place of his precinct on
Tuesday morning saw a sight that impressed
him and must similarly affect any who seriously
thinks of the future of the republic. A husband
and wife who had gone together to vote were
leaving the booth, each holding the hand of a
little daughter who walked between them. It
was a picture othe American family discharg
ing the highest duty of America citizenship.
The republic is founded in the home, and its
safety is secure as long as the American home
is maintained. For generations man alone has
cast the ballot, determining the policies and
the choice of men to serve in administering the
laws and managing the affairs of government. J
Woman, however, has not been without her in
fluence in elections, although it has been ex
erted indirectly. Even in the times of greatest
turmoil, when excitement has run highest, men .
have been swayed by thoughts of home, where
the wife and mother is enthroned, and this con
sideration has been a secure anchorage at all
times against any tendency towards destruction.
Now that woman is taking on the full share of
citizenship, her directly exerted influence will
surely be no less potent in the future than it
has been in the past. When the American
family goes together to vote, who will say the
institutions of Liberty are in jeopardy?
, Disparaging the Potato.
"Potatoes could be utterly abolished and not
a person would be the worse for it," says a
Spokane paper, which goes on to say they' are
principally water and starch with' littfe nutritive
value. The price now paid for a pound of po
tato, which is about one man's portion at a
meal, will buy enough rice or beans or
macaroni for. the whole family, and the latter
are rich in nourishment, is' the final slarrt at the
potato as an article of diet. .
The potato will survive this assault at least
until some way qf making the proposed sub
stitutes equally palatable. A mashed potato,
with its cream and butter ingredients; or fried
in fragrant fried pork grease; or enriched with
cheese; or baked and garnished with butter and
paprika, have an appeal to the palate that scien
tific measurements of its intrinsic food value
cannot overcome. , Besides it is the best "filler"
the earth provides for large stomachs and -bow-.
els. A too condensed diet is bad for man. He
must have his potatoes with his meat and other
foods for the'same reason that the horse must
have hay with his grain.. We are duly thank
'ful that Nebraska soil produces the finest po
tatoes in the world.
. Soiling Up the Overall.
Overalls at $43.50 will not have much effect
fen reducing the high cost of living, but may
give some of the sudden-rich a chance to dis
bUy their possession of wealth and paucity of
f - .
taste. The garment itself is a uniform of which
the wearer may be proud, for it indicates hon
est toil. Adopted as a protest against ex
orbitant orices. it shows a righteous indigna
tion, and affords a vent for feelings that might
otherwise explode. But when its buckles are
cwilrt rriincf nnc ihrn if becomes
i I VI V. U J. ...... , - -
not an emblem of labor or of resistance to ex
inrit'nn Knt faurrlrw thin a that can exhibit on!v
' the idleness of the mind that employs it. At
best, the movement to overalls is iikeiy to ia
short of its object, other than a sign of protest.
. T
. I
The .profiteers have met the situation very
fairly by putting up the price on the garb, so
that their end of the game is well cared for,
regardless of the form extravagance takes. Some
more definite form of attack must be devised,
if the leeches who are bleeding the country are
to be dislodged.
, Water Routes to. World Market.
A conference at St Louis, having for its ob
ject the consolidation of two societies organ
ized to deal with improvement of the Missis
sippi and its tributaries brings forward again
the general theme. Discussion, both 1 general
and particular, has persisted for many years,
and a yet to no decided program. For the
river improvement the suggestion has fre
quently been made that a comprehensive plan
be formulated, and that to its carrying out' the
government be pledged. One of the difficulties
in the way has been the varying mood of con
gress, something that may be overcome through
proper means. The importance, of water way
utilization is no longer questioned, and as the
railroad systems have and are falling short of
the requirements of steadily increasing business,,
the need for supplemental facilities is pressing
for greater attention.
In connection with the possible use of the
great streams of the Missisippi valley for com
mercial purposes, comes another project of
vital concern to the great grain growing empire.
A ship canal to connect Lake Erie and Lake
Ontario opens a water route to Europe de
pendable and direct. Chicago would become an
ocean port, instead of a lake station, and the
way from the fields of Nebraska to the tables
of the Old World woultj be shortened by a
thousand miles of rail haul. Canada already
is at work on improvement of the old Welland
canal, but the big project is to be handled, if
at all, on the American side.
Omaha is soon to be given more definite
information as to the details of this great un
dertaking, which is recognized as of tremendous
importance in its bearing on the future of the
greatest food producing region on the globe.
It will be well for our readers to inform them
selves fully, that they may give effective sup
port to the enterprise when it comes time. The
prosperity and growth of the community is
involved in the industries that will be chiefly
served by the shorter water way to" v the At
lantic, and what may be done to establish it.
The Price of Shoes.
"Shoes could be sold at lower prices than
in 1918, when dealers agreed that $12 should be
the maximum charge," says the expert of the
federal trade commission. A member of the
committee of the senate investigating . shoe
prices says leather companies exceeded 100 per
cent profit "in 1918, when shoes retailed at half
what is charged now,
American shoes sold for less in England dur
ing the war, than in this country. Cloth shoes
can be manufactured for less money than
leather ones, but they sell for the same prices;
and low shoes, which require about one-third
les9 leather than highs, sell for the same price.
The prices of women's common shoes are put
up to make up for losses in extreme styles, that
change with each season, and the extreme
styles are made not because of a demand for
them, but because the manufacturers order and
fix the styles. ! t
The foregoing remarks are a summary of
.. rri i . J ... U .' ..
sworn testimony, ine reaoer may uuw ui
own conclusions from them.
Are Nevada's Hands Clean?
The state of Nevada, wnich harbors and ap-
Reno, and has orofited these many years
by its quick and easy divorce laws, looks a
trifle out of character in a poseof indignation
oyer the divorce one of its courts granted Mary
Plckford. "
The Brooklyn Standard-Union says the al
legations of the Nevada officers against the
movie favorite impress everybody as tecnnicau
ties. Thev are her concealment of her identity
until she took the witness stand, her alleged
conspiracy to .defeat a California law, her con
nivance, collusion, and so forth. The Brooklyn
paper asks if the righteous Nevada officers
would be so interested if the remarried woman
hadf betn poor and obscure, and quite sig
nificantly alludes to a Manhattan lawyer sent
to prison for several years because he was a
party to a blackmailing attempt to worry a
rich man and his wife by a plot to annul their
marriage. (
Hidden From All But Tumulty.
Hon. Theodore Burton of New York, ap
pointed by the president to the United States
Tariff commission, went to Washington last
week to have the president withdraw the ap
pointment which he' cannot accept, and about
which he was not consulted.
He could not get to the president; Secre
tary Tumulty was in Chicago at the Sullivan
funeral; there was no one in Washington who
could carry the information to .the White
House recluse who is guarded from all
men and all pubiic business; and the former
Ohio senator had to stay over two days to see
Tumulty about it. r , "

The Premier Gift of Married Life.
Speaking of diamonds the Milwaukee
Journal says something we like, to-wit: "One
honest brick in the foundation of a real home
is more precious than all the shining baubles"
If people could but see that! 'A horns is the
sheet-anchor of good, conservative citizenship.
Big or little, ornate or humble, if it is a real
home 'its value to a man and his wife is far
greater than fur coats, jewels, feathers, fine
raiment, hotel luxuries and all the conveniences,
attractions, amusements and vanities that can
possibly be enjoyed without a home.
A home is worth more than all the other
material gifts a husband can lavish on his wife.

How to Keep Well
By Dr. W. A. EVANS
BRONCHIAL ASTHMA.
There are those who object to the
term hay fever, saying it is not a1
fever and it is not caused by hay.
Nevertheless the term is accepted as
applying to a disease which results
whenever persons extremely eensi'
tive to certain pollens Inhale a con
siderable dose of them. The condi
tion is a first cousin to bronchial
asthma. That disease not infre
quently develops during the course
of lfcay fever. V
University and Bellevue Medical
college have a hay fever and asthma
oTtnlc, of which Dr. M. J. Gottlieb is
director. When a case appears at
that clinic they first decide whether
it is hay fever or asthma by noting
the history of onset. Unless the on
set is limited to one or the other
(spring or August) "hay fever sea
sons, that disease can be eliminated.
They next examine the patient's
heart and urine to decide whether he
has heart or kidney asthma. Next
the nose and teeth are examined for
growths or other pathology. The
bronchial tubes are examined by
'stethoscope and X-ray to see if the
asthma Is due to pressure on the air
passages.
We will say that In a given case
all of these have been ruled out and
the case is one of bronchial asthma.
The asthma is certain to be the re
sult of poisoning by some substance
to which the patient is exceptionally
sensitive. Hers is where the kinship
to hay fever and also to urticaria or
nettle rash comes in.
The next step is to determine what
the poison Is. This is done, by- mak
ing a scratch on the skin and rub
bing in the test substance. ' A long
list of substances ready for test is
furnished by the manufacturing bio
logical chemists. The products are
inexpensive and the tests are so
simple any physician can make them.
The patient is only slightly incon
venienced and the vaccination is al
most painless.
Among the substances available
for test are extracts of dandruff and
hair from horses, cats, dogs, cows,
feathers, and fur. If these have been
tried and found not to be the cause
the next step should be to test the
foods in the same way. Among the
foods which may catme asthma are
milk, flour, buckwheat, potatoes,
eggs, meat and fish. If these are not
responsible the possibility that he is
exceptionally subject to poisons from
the bodies of certain bacteria must
be investigated in the same way.
It is customary to test the bacteria
in the sputum, the nose secretions,
and even in the bowel movements In
the ame way. The bacteria grown
from the tonsils and teeth are also
examined.
As the result of some of these ex
aminations we will say the cause has
been determined. What can be done
about It? The high degree of sus
ceptibility can be cured by weekly
injections of very small doses of the
offending substance. The beginning
dose must be smaller than the quan
tity required to produce a! reaction.
The- dose is gradually increased un
til full -aoses cause no reaction. In
some cases simpler procedures are
Those poisoned by cow, cat or dog
rur or feathers can keep away from
the offending animals. Those poi
soned by milk can escape in most
instances by eating boiled , milk.
When milk is boiled thoroughly a
scum rises to the surface. If this be
skimmed off and thrown away tho
milk left can be used without-harm.
Generally patients poisoned by pota
toes are, safe so long as they stick
to the baked article. All these and
other methods are given by Dr. Gott
lieb, who has found them effective.
Day appears to be breaking for the

M. K. writes that some one wrote
to her asking her to challenge the
statement of VF," who recently in
timated in this column that the deaf
lacked mentality. Upon close read
ing of "F.'s" letter she concludes
that he is trying to put in a plea for
the difficulties and embarrassments
of the deaf, fend not to expres's un
kind criticism of them. "F." wrote:
"The deaf quickly grow selt-cen-tered,
because they have little else
to -center on." M. K. says this is
true, and, recognizing it, there are
societies formed to help the deaf
not to become selfish or self-centered.
She belongs to such a . society, and
it is doing good work. She suggests
that "F." read the Volta Review, and
learn of these societies and guids.
He also should investigate lip read
