SENATE QUIZ ON PRIMARY EXPENSES.
The inquiry of the senate into pre-convention
expenditure for presidential candidacies is dis
turbing.' It has demonstrated that under the
direct primary system of electing district dele
fates the legitimate expenses of a campaign for
S presidential nomination hai been prodigiously
increased. This expenditure takes no account
- of the enormous costs of 'the primaries to the
taxpayers of the several states in which they
ire held. In one city alone (Chicago) the pres-
, idential preference primary election cost the
tU $330,000. Thus it appears beyond dispute
that the, primary system inaugurated to. put a
top to, or at least check upon the corrupt use
of. money in nominating candidates, has so in
creased voluntary expenditures for organiza
tion and publicity, that the amounts themselves
have caused criticism. At the ante time the
pubjicexpense of making legal nominations now
approximates that of the elections which follow.
' The use of large sums of money to promote
candidacies has always been offensive to the
people. . Even when it appears impossible for
candidates to build up organizations and ac
complish results without the use of large sums,
the. people do not like it. The dollar mark con--apieuous
in a campaign is unpleasant; while the
Odiotrs comparison of amounts used with re
sults accomplished by the several candidates,
fives a financial aspect to pre-convention con
tests far from reassuring to the general run of
voters unfamiliar with' large sums of money.
.' Another phase of the matter is that the sys
tem practically puts poor men out of the run
ning unless rich men contribute to a fund for
Jjiem, and that also is unwelcome information
""to the public or that part of the public which
txaggerates the potency of rnoney in politics.
1 Under the direct primary ands presidential
: system of electing national convention delegates,
candidates of all parties. are put on an adver
tising basis. The candidate whose friend buy
publicity by the page attracts more attention
than the one whose resources limit him to a
few inches. It is at this point that the people
inclinfto think money counts too much in pre
convention rivalries. But even so the corrupt
practices of years gone by are not even re
motely suggested. The resentment seems to be
inspired not by any unlawful use of money, but
by the large totals spent for legitimate pur
poses and the consequent elimjnatjon of those
who are financially unable to meet their com
petitors in expenditures. ' But the blame should
rest where ' it belongs on the system rather
' than the candidates.
A Progressive Judge in Ohio.
Several years ago Ohio eleetedto a position
on the state's supreme bench a man of progres
sive judicial ideas. Almost immediately after
his service began Judge Wanamaker was in
conflict -with his colleagues on the bench on a
number of matters. , He opposed, long-winded
arguments by lawyers, showed contempt fof
technicalities, and fought the delays and ex
penses of the courts. When he was elected the
supreme court was years behind with its work,
and taking the usual four or five months vaca-
' tions common to the higher courts. He pro
posed publicly that the court continue working
right through the summer months until ' its
docket was cleared. Naturally this was highly
- displeasing to a state judiciary highly trained in
the art of deliberation and long periods of rest
and recreation. But the docket was cleared.
When his term drew near its close he was
gain nominated and elected by the republicans
with an enthusiasm seldom observed over ju
dicial candidacies, and is now serving his second
term'. Last week Judge Wanamaker announced
his candidacy for United States senator to suc
ceed Harding, Ohio's presidential candidate,
thereby creating an embarrassing situation be
cause Senator Harding is just closing his first
term and desires a second in case he is not
nominated for the presidency. Judge Wana
maker' announcement makes plain his intention
to fight for reducing the volume of talk, the
technicalities, the delays and the expenses now
habitual in the senate, if chosen to represent
Ohio in that body, Ohio Is to be a busy state,
politically, in this year of our Lord.
would in 1914. But in another four years, if
saved, their purchasing power will be doubled.
Thus the young man of 1920 may get interest on
his savings, while they ste doubling in value.
It is s wonderful opportunity to make life
doubly worth living, and will yield a dividend
of contentment also.
I Utilising the Water Power.
A twelve-year contest before congress is
about to corns to an end with the passage of
tht water-power bill. In the time between the
proposal of the measure, which . wasv an out
growth of the move for conservation of national
resources, commenced while Roosevelt was
president, it has been thoroughly discussed,
amended and considered by conference commit
tees, until now it may be accepted as having
reached s form whi$h will not only safeguard
publie interests but attract capital to the de
velopment of various projects. While the enact
ment of the measure has been thus delayed, va
rious changes have taken place which will give
an even greater 'service to the water power.
Unless the force of the water is used close
to the spot where it is available, only one
means of transporting it is known by electric
ity. The generation of the current is a simple
enough matter. How to get th'e power to the
distant point for consumption is the 'real prob
lem, and it is knotty enough. Electricity is car
ried over considerable distances now, up to sev
eral hundred miles, but only at considerable ex
pense. No transmission has yet been discovered
which will prevent a considerable loss of cur
rent by "leakage," while the tremendous voltage
that must be employed in order to pass any
great quantity of electricity over a wire for a
great distance adds an clement of dangerous
uncertainty to the operation. This has pre
vented the utilization of much water power in
regions remote from centers where the current
might be available if it could be delivered.
Franklin K. Lane's adjuration to eastern
centers of industry that they must proceed with
celerity to the development of all water power
possible in order that they be not outstripped
by western communities to'.which the supply is
now opened may be well timed. It may be ques
tioned though, if any immediate shift is likely in
the industrial balance. The water powers of
the west will be utilized, however, for the Mil
waukee railroad has shown how the fuel factor
in the railway problem may be met by harness
ing mountain streams, and other roads may be
looked to for equal enterprise.
The time may come when , Omaha will draw
mosfof its power from the rivers that run4past
its doors. Other problems that government
consent must be solved, however, before this can
be brought to pass.

Sir: Standing on th threshold of life's back

This Concerns Nebraska.
The meeting today in connection" with the
lakes-to-ocean deep water way should have the
attention of every citizen oi Nebraska. All can
not assemble at the Chamber of Commerce, but
all can give heed to the proceedings there , had,
and intelligently follow the course of tlie work
to its completion. The plan simply stated is
to provide the shortest possible route from the
fields of the great food producing central valley
of the United States to deep water. This is to
be done by making the Great Lakes atd the St.
Lawrence river ocean commerce carriers. What
advantage will come to Nebraska, for example,
is obvious. Anything that lessens the cost of
carriage to market adds to the producer's sett
ing price, other things being equal. When the
Panama canal was dig, it was given hearty
support by the Middle West, although the bene
fit derived by this section has been indirect and
relative only. The present project will cost less
in actual cash, and be of untold immediate value
even to the region whose prosperity depends
finally on its ability to get its products to tide
water. Therefore, the preliminary meeting at
the Omaha Charr&er of Commerce today is of
utmost interest to.the public.
: , Savers Enjoy Life Most
Industry, attention to business or the job,
mixed with thrift, never counted for more than
they have in recent years and do'fcow. Many a
fine start has been made toward permanent suc
cess and comfort, and may yet be made.. While
the thoughtless, pleasing seeking crowd enjoys
itself throwing to the birds easy money, the
thrifty minority are enjoying themselves more
in the satisfactory and strengthening business of
saving every dollar not needed for necessities.
. Saving puts anxiety to flight, fives con
fidence in the future, and builds character. It
is a form of self-denial He who can and does
resist desires better left unsatisfied inevitably
f rows strong. He acquires a dignity, self-control
and forward looking habit that lifts him
above the weak and foolish spenders who regard
money as something to bum. "
- There is a doable incentive to save in these
days of ths 50-eent dollar. Two dollars may be
earned and saved now as easily as one was six

Mere Language Not "Americanization."
A demonstration of much interest is to be
given in Washington this week, when 32 foreign-born
soldiers from Camp Uptorr wilr
show the progress they have made in
acquiring ur'language in six months. We hope
they sre all proficient, not only in the use of the
language as employed in the military service of
the country, but' that they have acquired uf
ficieht knowledge of the vernacular to make
their way 'any place. But this is not all there is
of Americanization. It is not enough to speak,
read and write the language. These men and
all others situated like them must be taught to
think in terms of the true American. We are
accustomed to speaking Joosely of imparting
our" national ideas and ideals to the foreign
born in short and easy-courses. Frequently the
attempt has a reverse effect. Intelligent aliens
come here usually with exalted notions of what
America offers them. They are disillusioned by
early experience, the laxity and indifference of
the native-born or naturalized citizens being
euch as to disturb if not destroy the most vital
element of citizenship, that ofrespect for the
law. We will make better Americans out of
those who seek ouf gates if we set them a better
example than usually is done.

Geraldine Farrar, as an artistic portrayer of

Sir: It is not always satisfactory, this turn

she was warped and had been printed in colors
and hung across from the foot of my bed, and
there was not a spot in the roonufrom which
she was not visible. She was the only picture
there, and finally got on my nerves. So I turned
her face to the wall.-and on the back I found
this legend: "Isn't this a hell of a picture?" I
flopped her back, and the first opportunity I
asked the housekeeper If she could not exchange

MYXOEDEMA. ' x
If a person is over stimulated by
thyroid secretion he la nervous, ex
cited and irritable. His brain Works
faster than the other fellows. He
may take credit to himself for ex
ceptional mental alertness, when, as
a matter of fact, he is full of thyroid
secretion and he could not be
mentally slow If he tried.
But the story today is about too
little thyroid the other end of the
line, if the deficiency Is not great,
we say the man is slow, or lethargic,
or bovine, or placid. If It is beyond
this limit we say th individual
has myxoedema. If It developed
early and affected growth of the
body as well as mind we say the
individual is a cretin.
In myxoedema there is a moderate
deficiency of thyroid secretion. Since
mere is no tnyroia tube or duct ana
no way of collecting the secretion
and measuring it we must judge of
the deficiency by indirect signs. Th
sign on which physicians, and espe
cially those connected with hospital
laboratories, are now placing much
stress is a slow rate of metabolism.
Laboratory tests show that a per
son with myxoedema does not burn
up mucn rood. , ti may not eat
much and what he eats goes largely
to fat. He is slow and quiet phys
ically and his muscles do not burn
up much food material. s
There are some signs of myxoe
dema which are more easily noted.
The skin is thick and the face seems
to be swollen. The patient seems to
be dropsical, but there is nb pitting
and no other sign of dropsy.
Calluses form on the feet. The
hair becomes coarse, breaks easily,
and falls out. Bodily movements are
slow, speech becomes thick and
slow. The patient loses Interest In
things, sleeps long hours and drops
to sleep easily.
In some cases the condition Is
rather temporary and self-limited,
but that Is very much the exception.
The rule is that the myxoedema
does not improve until the condi
tions are mad right The way to
make them right is to ' supply the
needed amount of thyroid.
In a recent number of the British
Medical Journal Dr. Murray fur
nishes the final chapter in the life
history of a case of myxoedema
which was flrstTeported in 1891. At
that date the woman, 46 years of
age, had suffered from myxoedema
for five years. Life seemed to hold
nothing for her except a few years
of stolid existence.
She died in 1919. having reached
the good age of 74,N after enjoying
good health for more than 2S years.
She had been as bright and active
and had got as much out of life aa
the average person with whom she
was associated. However, she never
had been able to stop taking
thyroid. It was calculated that in 28
years she had consumed the thyroid
product of 870 sheep. But, being
faithful, she came happily through
to a ripe old age.

Sympathy for William WUkenlng.
Omaha, May 89. To the Editor
of Th Bee: I want to express my
most sincere sympathy for William
J. WUkenlng In th trouble that has
com upon him in th last few
weeks. I have known him quite in
timately for a few years, have don
business for him and have had some
quite important matters of business
thrown Into my hands by Mr. WU
kenlng without any request or re
ward on my part, and in all my
dealings with him I have found him
to be strictly honest and upright In
very way.'
I am sorry to see this young man
in imminent danger of being sent
to the penitentiary for this one mis
step of his, and sincerely hope that
som way may be found to avoid
sending him there, for he can be far
more -uaefuh.to the general public
outside th bara than inside. I do
not believe he is at heart a criminal
And believe that his trouble camo
upon him because, of the lack of
stamina at the right time. His wife
is a most estimable woman and so
ore other of" his relatives,, and it
looks too bad that he should be
placed where it will causehis peo
ple much sorrow and grief.
There have been worse criminals
released from 'the Nebraska peniten
tiary in the last few years than Wil
liam J. Wilkenlng would be in 100
years. I recommended Mr. Wilken
lng to a position on the Omaha po
lice force at his request and 'very
cheerfully gave my recommenda
tion because of my personal experi
ences with him in a business and
personal way. I would trust Wil
liam J Wilkenlng with any amount
of money, if necessary, and would
rest assured that he would honestly
account for every cent of it.
So I hope that some way will be
found to avoid punishing him too se
verely for his lack of good judgment
and not from any inherent personal
criminal intent.
