Nebraska republicans need not rest upon na tional issues alone in the coming campaign. They have a state issue, on which they may stand with the conviction that right is upon their side, and that a clear-vfsioned electorate will so decide. That issue is the permanence of the principle of state government embodied in the civil administrative code. The code is an issue, a party issue, and that despite the fact that not all republicans are in accord upon the details of the particular law in force at this time. It is a party issue be cause the principle was indorsed by the repub lican platform of .1918, was enacted into law and put in practice by the republican adminis tration of 1919-1920, and is being bitterly at tacked by democratic leaders and candidates. Whatever doubt may have existed as to the attitude of the republican rank and file was settled by the primary vote of April 20, when Governor McKelvie was renominated and when gubernatorial candidates favorable to the code received a clear majority of all the votes cast. Republicans in the forthcoming campaign are for the code; democratic politicians are against it. Republicanwlio find fault with de tails of the present law are not required to re tract their criticisms; they are expected, how :ver, to support a principle of good govern ment which cannot successfully be assailed and if they wish to bend their efforts to the remedy of such defects as they think may exist in the particular method of its present practice. There is no reason why the republicans should recede from the redemption of the platform pledge of 1918. which reads: AVe favor the enactment of a civil admin istrative code in this state, creating a financial and accounting system whereby a vigorous and offectivc audit over financial expenditures of the state may be established and provid ing for the consolidation of the boards, insti tutions, commissions and different, depart ments and agencies of government. thereby eliminating useless offices and positions and avoiding the overlapping functions thereof, and we further favor the creation of an ef fective budget system to the end that gov ernment functions may be more efficiently and economically administered. That was the declaration of. principle upon which republicans of Nebraska elected their complete state ticket in 1918, something they had not been able to do for a decade. Its sound logic appealed then to the common sense of the voters of the state and no amount of specious argument or campaign buncombe will be able to overturn it now. ' Why the Navy Was Not Ready. Consciously or unconsciously. Admiral Ben son blurted out one great truth in his testi mony before the senate committee that is in vestigating the Sims charges against the Navy department. He said tile navy was not ready to enter the war because the sentiment of the people was against preparedness. Who is re sponsible for that unfortunate fact? The sachems of the democratic party, big and little, had led the people of the United States into a fool's paradise. Martin Glynn keynoted at St. Louis the wondrous war cry: "Thank God for Wilson! He kept us out of war!" This rang throughout the length and breadth of the land. Nebraska, in common with the middle west, rolled up a tremendous vote for Wilson, all because he kept us out of a war that he knew was at our threshold. In 1913, when Wilson came into office, the first thing the democrats did was to vote down the Navy department's recommendations for a building program. That policy was not varied from in one iota. Josephus Daniels devoted himself to the work with utmost assiduity, never flagging for a moment in his effort to stifle the truth by keeping up an outward show of safety he knew did not exist. In 1914 Rear .admiral Bradley D. Fiske, then a high officer on the naval board, wrote to the secretary a lengthy letter, setting forth exact conditions and outlining a proper policy. His letter was "lost" from the files in the department, and only after a public scandal was threatened was it for tuitously "found" by a clerk. 4 In the army similar conditions existed. Answering a specific question from the secretary )i war, the War college reported on "A Proper Military Defense" for the United States, and on this report, in 1915, the president publicly pledged himself to preparedness. He was forced to recede, however, because "Jimmy" Hay of Virginia told him flatly congress would not pass the bills needed to carry out the plans. Secretary ' Garrison was forced to retire from the cabinet,' and Mr. Hay was rewarded with a life position on the federal bench, to be suc ceeded in congress by Carter Glass, who is now in the senate by way of the Treasury depart ment. How many lives and how much treasure was expended because of this no man can say. It is certain the war was prolonged because the Germans had assurance that America was un prepared. And we were unready just for the reason that the democrats sought to win the election of 1916 on a false issue. Wilson kept us out of war, when he knew that our entrance was inevitable, unless we were ready to submit to domination from tiermany. That is why the navy was unready and why we had no plans for the army when war did come. In all the deplorable record of miserable official blundering and incompetent bureaucratic mismanagement, nothing looms bigger than the fact that the democratic administration will fully closed its eyes to the terrible truth in order that it might profit by public sentiment un favorable to war, which it had deliberately created and openly fostered. A Debasement of Marriage. Fanny Hurst, a writer of fiction of transient character for popular magazines, has announced her marriage five years ago, when she was 26, to a pianist named Danielson. The ceremony was clandestine and has been kept secret ever since. Under an agreement made before this abnormal mating occurred, she and her hus band have lived apart; and in making public the fact of the limited alliance, Mrs. Danielson is reported in the press as saying they will con tinue to do so. She adds that during the past five years all their meetings havc been wholly controlled by "inclination and not duty." The final bold confession presumably is the key to this queer matrimonial connection, made to legalize marital' relations only when both parties were agreed, but subservient to a previ ous contract that neither should be under obli gation to perform the common duty of the wedded state that of living together in con sonance with the established, wholesome and necessary custom of married life. Inclination, the most unstable and dangerous of guides, was placed above duty, the only safe rule of conduct, to the degradation of what should be the most sacred relation of life. The disclosure of this cynical revolt from the moral and legitimate responsibilities of so ciety's most important institution recalls to us the pagan experiment of the Spartans three thousand years ago under Lycurgus. That famous ruler and law-giver was an enemy of the family. Home ties were unknown to the Spartans under him. Everybody lived for the state, and it alone, under the theory that the people were made for the state, not the state Tor the people. Fathers and mothers were com pelled to give up their children to the state. There was marriage in Sparta, but under strange laws' It was a disgrace for a husband to be caught in the society of his wife. All his meet ings with her were by stealth under cover of darkness. A wife could have chifdren by men other than her husband with his consent. Brave and robust sons were the sole purpose of Ly curgus's marriage laws. The divine emotion of love was sternly repressed to give full play to physical attraction. The tenderness and tran quil companionship of legalized association in home life were regarded as a weakness by Ly curgus, and as tending to the birth of r.n war like children. The love which makes life blessed and happy in constant association with the one love, was denied the Spartans. But obviously no such consideration cither for the state or for children, were behind the Danielson-Hurst prenuptial agreement. It seems on its face to have been entered solely to dispense with every implication of marital duty and to leave the relation solely one of Inclination, yielding to the perfunctory per formance of a ceremony only to fulfill the letter and not the spirit of the law. If so, it was a deliberate degradation and perversion of the true spirit and purpose of marriage, which should meet the unqualified condemimion of respectable society. If generally adopted the home and family life, which are the glory of civilization the world over, would be utterly destroyed. The state, by every means in its power, should protect society from such nullifications of the fundamental principles of its most vital institution. Herr Ebert Loses His Card. , In one place in the metrical version of the adventures of Don Juan, as recounted by the late- Lord Bryon, we find the father ' of one of the young ladies who figured in the story de scribed as being "as mild a mannered man as ever cut a throat or scuttled ship." This qual ity of gentleness gets a new exemplification in Germany, where the humanitarian union of harness makers by an almost unanimous vote has expelled Herr Ebert because he as presi dent of the German republic signed a death warrant. This, of course, was too much for the tender-hearted harness. makers, most of whom had just returned from the battlefields, where they gave impressive proof of their devotion to the humane sentiments they now profess. Perhaps, though, it will be set up that as soldiers they were required to do many things, -which as harness makers they strongly disapprove of. They fail, however, to make similar allowance for the changed situation of Herr Ebert. ' It is quite conceivable that he, with his leather before him and waxed end in his hand, would descant with Teutonic volubility against the law's taking the life of a condemned crimi nal. As president of the republic, however, he finds himself in charge of the execution of those laws made for the government of his country, one of which prescribes that under certain specified conditions the life of a criminal is for feit. So, caught between the Scylla of the country's laws and the Charybdis of the har ness makers', sentiment, the president of the republic goes down to the obloquy of being ex pelled from his trade union. How sad! Right here it may be permitted to recail the fact that one of the first things Kerensky did was to repeal the death penalty in Russia. This was confirmed by Lenine and Trotzky,,who suc ceeded. Under the gentle sway of the bolshevik during the years 1918 and 1919 in Petrograd and Moscow alone, according to Isvestia, the official organ of the regime, 9,641 persons were put to death because of their political beliefs! If you are looking for the cream of brotherly love, you will find it in the bolsheviki rule of Russia and the by-laws of the Berlin harness makers. A Proper Decision. It will occur to every mature mind, we be lieve, that Oliver Goldsmith's great masterpiece of rural life, "The Vicar of Wakefield," may well be regarded as not a felicitous selection for a public high school class play. The family tragedy therein portrayed is hardly the best one for youthful dramatic interpretation. Our read ers will recall Goldsmith's lines concerning it: ( When lovely woman stotpps to folly, ' And finds too late that men betray, What charm can soothe her melajicholy? What art can wash her guilt away? ,We concur with Miss Towne higher decision that a more suitable selection can be made for the- graduating seniors. ' "" A Line 0'Type or Two Ntw to tti Lit, lat th uli till wlitr tiny Bay. THE shortage of houses in England is so acute that house-hunters are paying undertakers to tip them off 'to possible apartments, or, at less expense, are following the death notices in the newspapers. Which reminds us that in New England dealers in antique furniture used to keep similar tab on old residents who were known to have valuable pieces in their parlors or attics. We were never lucky enough to ar rive at the psychological moment. We usually called when the heir, recovered from her first grief, had begun to attach so much sentimental value to the sideboard or highboy that parting with it was sweet sorrow, and we were obliged to supply the sweetening.

The bride, coming last on the arm of her father, wore her mother's wedding gown. It was an exquisite creation of white Duehesee satin veiled In white silk tulle and trimmed In rare old rose point lace. The long panel train of the. satin fell from the shoulder, where It was held by a straight decolletage band of the rose point lace, that, coming over the shoulders, out lined the V neck of the bodice front from which points of the satin reached to the shoulders. It had the elbow kimono sleeve. The lines of the satin skirt were broken with a drapery of the tulle forming a double pointed tunlfc, and from the girdle at the left a long spray of orange blossonis reached to the hem. . Her tulle veil, flowing to the end of the traine, was held to the coiffure with a simple arrangement of three puffs of tulle across the front, outlined with orange blossoms that fell In little clusters over the ears. , IT would save not a little : white paper if copy readers would cross cut the "a" following the words "kind of," or "sort of." or "form of." A man so economical as Mr. Hoover, for in stance, should not be allowed to say, "some form of a league of nations." t A CORNERSTONE DOEif AS WELL.

A patch of white just above the fore- -head in the otherwise jet black hair of twelve-year-old Sherva Bardenstein, who .ar rived yesterday aboard the Lloyd Sabaudo liner Regina d'ltalia, was due, according to her sixteen-year-old sirter, Frema, to the Impression of the muzzle of a revolver held against her head by one of a band of Bol sheviki last summer in the home of her mother in Odessa There was no money, and Sherva, who was expecting death from the pistol, said so. The man finally gave up torturing her and left the house, When her mother, Frema and an other sister arrived heme and heard the child's story they noted that the hair where the muzzle of the revolver had pressed was snow white.

(From the Marysville Appeal.) When the American Legion Minstrel Troupe returned from Colusa some nights ago, I owned a suitcase and placed same with contents aboard the Sacramento Northern train. When we reached Marys ville said suitcase was not to be found. Having great confidence in my fellow man, I have waited until now, believing that some one would advertise his finding such ' an article as the one I lost. Now I've lost a suitcase and my faith in my fellow men, and I'd like to know who the hell got away with both of them. Bill Wright.

EVANS FORMS OF THEFT ARE MANY. You think you would not steal. Maybe you . wouldn't, but have you ever been hungry and broke and had food within reach and 6afe to take? If you were so placed, did yur principles withstand the strain? Such whs the dilemma of Dr. Theme, a character created by Rider Haggard. Dr. Trne's father died as a result of smallpox." The disease had crippled his family In still other ways. ' Naturally under these cir cumstances Dr. Therne was vacci nated early in life. Traveling to Mexico City, he was brought face to face with a fearful epidemic of the disease. For many reasons the dis ease had become a phobiawith him. Having settled down in England, he underwent a series of profes sional' ups and downs. There were periods of considerable success which served to sharpen his appetite for position, power and acclaim. After one such period he was prac tically ruined by a suit for damages, which he won, but which reduced him tp penury and caused his pa tients to desert him.' His wife had died. He had one small child, a daughter: no money, some debts and a few friends. Just at thnt time he saw a child, recently .vaccinated, in whom erysipelas had developed. Just at that time came a rich antl vaccinationist offering him a nom ination for parliament, expenses of election paid, backed by a donation of $50,000 in cash outright and promise of other financial support. Eventually Stephen Strong, the antl vaccinationist, gave him more than a million dollars. He wavered and finally fell. Having run for parliament, he was elected and became powerful, in fluential, and eventually rich. In the limelight on the question of vac cination, he was afraid to have his daughter vaccinated. Having served in parliament twenty years, he came up for re-election Just at a time when a smallpox epidemic was due to break out among his unvaccinated supporters. In the midst of the cam paign the disease became so wide spread that vaccination again be' came a political issue. Theme's daughter, now a beauti ful young woman, contracted small pox and died. When Thferne saw that his daughter had smallpox his fundamental fear of the disease drove him to vaccinate himself. Ten days later, while making a political speech, a person in his audience challenged him to show his arm and prove he was not vaccinated. Re fusing, his sleeve was torn off and his vaccination was exposed. Fiction sometimes strains the im agination almost as much as fact does. About twenty years ago an anti-vaecinationist speaker in Au rora, 111., was challenged to show his arm to Dr. Herman Spalding. He refused. The crowd forced his coat off and rolled up his shirt sleeve, The man was found to have been vaccinated. It has been ,my experience that most of the violently talking anti vaccinationists have been vac cinated or have had smallpox. All of those who claim the disease is not contagious and express their willing ness to expose themselves to it have been vaccinated, so far as my ob servation extends. Trouble Hard to Find. S. O. S. writes: "Would diseased tonsils cause foul breath? Would enlarged glands cause foul breath and are enlarged glands caused by bad tonsils? Would enlarged tonsils cause an awful roaring in the top of the head? I have at all times a foul breath and when I awake in the morning my tongue is badly coated with something yellow and this can be removed by wiping- the tongue with a handkerchief. Do you think this could be caused by first men tioned trouble? I seem to be per fctly healthy otherwise." REPLY. Diseased tonsils cause foul breath occasionally. Absorption from dis eased tonsils is one of the causes of enlarged glands in the neck. I do not know what causes or could cause a roaring in the top of the head. Constipation is the most frequent cause of coated tongue, yellow tongue and foul breath. Constipa tion may be relative. A A Bundle of Comment. Omaha, Neb., May 2. To the Ed itor of the Bee: I just got in from the road Saturday a little too late for the big parade and from all accounts it was some parade one to be proud of, and above all. the way the people bought the flowers that were being sold for such a commendable cause. Being a traveling man and all dressed up and nowhere to go, 1 have been thinking of the changes that have taken place since the last time I was in Omaha, relative to prices and accommodations. All towns are similar, of course dry n' everything. In order to get lodging at the ho tels now one has to wire for a res ervation Just like they were Pull man sleepers. And when you call up over long distance the high sal aried and highly-tipped clerks an swer just like they would a little rather not be bothered, a they are too busy kidding the cashier, and a lot of the waiters are so sour the cream curdles by the time it is in the coffee. Sunday evening I tried going to some show. After getting turned down at several, that is, there were no seats left, I decided to buy a ticket and wait. I looked at my watch. It was 7 o'clock and the lob by was full. So I decided to grin and bear it till a seat showed up. I grinned and bore, mostly bore, it till 9 o'clock and left. The first show was out anyway by that time. This show, a few years ago, sold "any seat any. time" for 10 cents; now they sell for 60 cents and less. . Maybe the church would get big ger crowds if they raised all their prices and added war tax. These are the only items that have changed with the shows, unless it is the shows are not quite as good. For in stance, who remembers when we used to have lions, talking dogs, n' everything? The only entertainment I got for th same old price, not even any war tax, was that notorious and interest ing traffic demonstrator who was putting on the work at Sixteenth and Farnam Saturday. I watched him from the southeast corner and so far have received no bill for the enter tainment. So it must be free. Think of it, free! People these days are nutty. Those who keep quiet will be the winners In the end. This applies to churches, businesses, book abcounts, in fact, every line of business. There is one exception, tWough; the re publican, party. It will win this throw, no matter how they go about it, A. F. ABETT. P. S. Who remembers the nut who used to say our president, was a superman, guided by the divine hand of God, and that God brought him into the world to keep us out of war, and etc., etc.? Why, next to Tumulty and Mrs. Wilson, he is the poorest president we have had for almost eight years now. Another P. S. I noticed one show here in town which has a sign thus: "Seats, 22c; war tax, .03," making a total of 25 cents, two bits, a quar ter of a dollar, etc., to save change. In other words they make 2 cents per as velvet due to war tax. tt should read: "Seats. 20c; AV. T., .03c." Think it over. Wash, Grease Scalp. Mrs. W. T.
