L, 2.00 in advance.. . $10.00 | How to Make Hughes Hear the Call. “Hughes has declared he is not a candidate and has refused to let his name be printed on | the ballot,” is what we often hear from repub- | licans, who add, “Hughes fs my first choice; his N . | nomination would completely unite the party and Entered at Omaha_postoffice as second-class matter, make success certain; I would like to see him head the ticket If he would only become a candl- date.” But anyone who will reflect a moment will | realize that the course of Justice Hughes is the only one he could consistently pursue. He is not seeking the presidency. judge, sitting on the highest bench, can scramble for a presiden- e | tial nomination, yet neither does the fact that he is not a candidate and has declined to authorize the filing of his name stand in the way of people voicing a call for him that he must respond 0. lThn Boston Transeript correctly describes the | position Justice Hughes is in, as follows: | The call for Hughes now coming up from the peo- | ple in every part of the country voices first of all a popular demand for leadership in the day of the na- | tion's danger. The determination to draft Mr. Hughes | 1% not surprising when we consider his record in the past, his resolution in the present and his qualification for future service. It s not too much to say that the mass of the people who are determined to conscript him as their leader in this crisis are in a herole mood. They are well aware that the national aliment requires a herole remedy. They are tired of the type of poli- ticlan who chucks his constituents under the chin and plasters them day after day with compliments they do not deserve and promises he cannot fulfil. They resent the memory of the deplorable spectacle of 1912 when a president and ex-president of the United States chased each other over the country in the prosecution of & personal quarrel, That experience has prejudiced them against the operation of the presidential primary, and caused them to view with suspioion any active candidacy for the highest office In thelr gift. They remember with pride the contrasting record of Mr. Hughes, who was conscripted twice and twice electsd governor of New York. They enthuse at the recollec- tion of the thoroughness and the courage with which he cleaned house in the insurance scandals; the well- nigh reckless independence with which he refused to allow Mr. Barnes to make a dummy of the chief ex- ecutive at Albany; at the effectiveness with which he flayed Mr. Bryan from the Atlantic seaboard to the far middle west in the cumpaign of 108, and proved himself the most powerful champlon on the stump of progressive republicanism and virile Americanism that appeared in that campaign, Wothing has pleased them more, becauss it confirma thelr best judgment of his character, than the refusal of Mr. Hughes to sanotion the use of his name in advance of the con- vention for any political office. They share his aver- slon to any association of partisan politics with the great tribunal of which he is a member. They are content that he shall remain at his post until the call comes. Thelir purpose is to conseript him without con- sultation, mindful of the opinfon of Abraham ILncoln that not even a member of the supreme court is be. yond the call of his countrymen in peace or war, or dare decline to serve them In the post they designate. Here In Nebraska, we have an opportunity in our primary to issue a eall for Hughes that he must hear. If the republicana of this state will write in his name on the blank line specially prepared for that purpose on the ballot, they will show that this call comes not ‘from the “‘bosses” or the “leaders” or the ‘“‘machine,” but direct from the plain people, and that is the kind of a call that no man, whether sitting on the supreme bench or In any other place, can refuse to lis- ten to. SEE———— Menace of Btate-Controlled Armies. H Civil officers of Texas and Arizona are giv- ing a very vivid {llustration of one of the dan- ‘gers of state's rights as applied to the military forces of the country. Just now, when the fed- eral government is doing its utmost to preserve order and maintain tranquillity on oup side of the Mexican border, these civil officers are fomenting strife and discord by calling for the Presence of militia in the trouble sone. It is posaible for the governor of either state to dis- patch the troops of that state to the border, where they will be under state oontrol, not amenable to the direction of the United States officers, and capable of anything. The danger in this is too apparent to need argument. The value of our state troops is well known, and the share they have had in the wars of the tion is a matter of glorious record, but the enace of state-controlled armies is also coming to be better understood. The unfortunate ex- perience of Colorado is only a single phase of the problem’s possibilities, while Texas and Arizona are presenting another, The National Guara will not reach its full efficlency until it is en- tirely freed from the influence of politics. — China Again a Republic. Yuan Shi Kai, finding the imperial crown wabbly as well as uneasy, has returned to the status of president of the republic as a safer method of dealing with his country's affairs, and agaln proclaims the Chinese republic. 1t must not be inferred from this that the polities -of the Flowery Kingdom have taken on a less complicated form, or that its inhabitants are to enjoy to their fullest the freedom that is im- plied by the title. It will be some time before the institutions with which we are famillar, and under which we live, in their entirety are be- stowed upon the Chinese. Yuan's position 1s pecullarly hazardous just at this time, both as respects China and the world outside. Yuan is a vigorous leader, an aggressive and progressive man, of advanced ideas and uncommon energy in pushing them. He has been called a reactionary, but this is by those who do not comprehend the man and his pur- poses. His ambition is to arouse China from its lethargy, to energize and vitalize his people, and to give his country once more a place of first rank among the powers of the world. He has shown his capacity as a military organizer and leader in the past, and his services to the late emperor and dowager empress were so no- table as to mark him as the strongest man of his day. Pressure from the outside has greatly complicated the problems Yuan has to meet, but his continuance in power will do much to lift China out of its helpless condition and restore it to virility and power, The United States is deeply interested in Chinese affairs, because of its support of the open door principle, established by Secretary Hay, and because of recent proposals by Baron Shibisawa, that we joln with Japan in exploit- ing China. For these and other reasons the fmmediate future of the new republic will be closely watched in this country, Uncle Joe Cannon's unfeeling reflections on the absence of present day names from the roster of first families endangers the honorable and revered industry of family tree grafting. As the of Danville piles on the years he becomes painfully unresponsive to the uplifting influence and opulent sociability of a family tree. THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, How to Get Hughes The Vote for hes. Hastings Tribune: There is & movement in prog- ress throughout Nebraska to give the republicans of the state an opportunity to cast their vote for Justice Hughes as their for the presidency And why not? Before Hughes requested that his name be taken off the primary ballot it was generally conceded that Nebraska republicans were almost unanimous in their support of Hughes. And we have no reason to doubt that the same sentiment prevails today It Nebraska republicans want Hughes to be their standard bearer they should have a right to say hoice "o MARCH | | | the prohibition column as And they have that right, for every voter in Nebrasks | has a right to express his preference for presidont and it makes no difference whether the man of his chofce 18 & candidate for the high honor or not Since it is generally admitted that there is an overwhelming Hughes sentiment in Nebraska, a move ment has been started to have the name of Hughes written on the primary ballot. This can be done an? it will be done, That's What the Blank Li Scott’s Bluff Republican: The primary law con templates that every man has the privilege of voting for his cholce for president whether his name appears on the ballot or not. There is no doubt as to the fact that Hughes is the cholce of the Nebraska republicans this year, and every voter who wants to see Hughes nominated should write his name in on the ballot, in the blank line left for that purpose. Write the name s For. fn and put a cross in tne square opposite the name Be Sure to Write in the Name. Kearney Hub: Democratic newspapers are naturally doing what they can to minimize the Hughes senti- ment in Nebraska and to throw coM water upon any organized movement to have republicans write his name upon the presidential preference ballot at the April primary. Democrats do not want Hughes as an opponent of Wilson, for the very good and sufficient reason that he is the one man so much stronger than any other pessible candidate that his election would be certain If nominated. By the contrary slgn the Hughes sentiment preponderates among republicans, and #o far as there have been any expressions on the part of the republican candidates for delegate to the national convention they are in perfect accord with this widespread sentiment. It is true that Justice Hughes is not and can not with propriety be a candidate, but this fact does not bar any republican in Nebraska, under the primary law of the state from writing his name upon the ballot, and this s exactly as it should be. Nor does the fact that Justice Hughes has forbidden the vse of his name In any state primary bar the republican national convention from drafting him as the presi- dential candidate, which is again exactly as it should be. The people largely want him, and they should not be backward in making their wants known in the only manner that is left open If Nebraska republicans desire to make their wants known to the Chicago convention it is simply neces- sary to write the name of Hughes on the blank line of the presidential preference ballot Good Suggestion—RBut Big Task. Nebraska City Press: The Omaha Bee's suggestion that republicans who want him write Justice Hughes' name on the Nebreska primary ballot is & good one. On the other hand it will be quite a task and not enough men, quite likely, will write the justice’s namne to give him sufficlent votes to defeat Senator Cum- mins, for instance, whose name was regularly filed as a candidate. Mepublicans Know Whom They Want. Geneva Signal: Nebraska, notwithstanding her out- landish primary election law and its incongrulties, wil) show the enst that it has an expressed choice in a can- didate for the presidency on the republicen ticket. Peo- ple in Nebraska can write, and they can write in a name if they wish. And that s what {8 going to be done in the matter of the republicans expressing their desires for a présidential candidate. And his name ‘will be Hughes, and it will do no good for the demo- cratic papers of the state to bewall the action of the republicans. The republicans of the state know whom they want. Nebraska Republican Papers for Hughe.s Ord Quis: Some time ago Victor Rosewater, editor of The Omaha Bee, avowed advocate of Justice Hughes for the republican presidential nomination, undertook & poll of the republican newspapers of the state as to thelr preference for prealdent. There are, we belleve, in the neighborhood of 185 republican pa pers in the state. How many of these have responded to Mr. Rosewater's request for an expression of their preference we do not know, but up to March 14 a little more than balf had done so, with the result that ninety-eight favored the nomination of Hughes, It is fair to presume that quite a number, as is always the case in such polls, falled to vote, so the responses so far recelved would indicate a strong Hughes sentl- ment among Nebraska republican editors. To what extent these editors reflect the sentiments of the voters among thelr readers ls, of course, impossible to say, but is seems reasonable to suppose that at least a majority of them coincide with their views in this matter and that the republicans of the state are leargely In favor of the nomination of Hughes. Mr. Rosewater disclaims any desire to try to 'n- fluence the republicans to vote for Justice Hughes, but he would like to have them express their prefer- ence for the presidential nomination by writing the name of their cholce on the primary ballot, On this point he says: “I belleve it to be a fact that the great majority of Nebraska republicans, If given a chance to register their real preference, would express them selves for Hughes.. What 1 am trying to get the news- papers to do is to show tne voters how to do it, if they want to. I feel sure that, if they are Instructed how, they will write in the name in sufficient numbers to show that Hughes is the real preference of Ne- braska republicans.’ It is well known, of course, that Mr. Hughes has forbldden the filing of his name in the regular way on any state primary ballot, but there is a blank space on the ballots in which the voters can write name they choose, and Mr. Rosewater suggests that Nebraska republicans who favor the nomination Mr. Hughes express their preference for him by writ ing his name in this space, Whether or not doing this would have any influence in the Chicage convention it would be interesting to know who the cholce of Ne- braska republicans for president is Twice Told Tales Fereboding.

The girl was beautl- tul, and I sat down at my typewriter ome night to propose to her in & passionate love poem.

Diplomatic Retort. The drill sergeant was real mustard, and the re- cruits were having a bad time. The weather had been very wet and the parade ground was still slippery. In doing a movement amartly, as an example 10 his men, the sergeant siipped and fell full sprawl, and, naturally, the ‘“rookies” could hardly repress their mirth. Getting up with all the dignity he could muster, the sergeant’s eye fell on Murphy's grinning face. “Well, you grinning ‘vena! " he roared. “What's ‘urting you?

REINMUTH Schools for the Sand HI SENECA, Neb, March $.-To the Editor of The Bee: 1 have spent many days out In the great sand hill country of Nebraska. Many things of Interest may be found in that reglon once called the Great American desert, now a great | pasture land and the future home of a splendid people. The sand hills now covered with grase summer feed, horses and cattle, the val leys furnish the hay for winter feed | Sca houses are still numerous and schools | few and far between. The first attention of the state shoull | be turned to providing education to the daring ploneers who are redeeming (his land from the sea of sand Hardy pioneers came out to this great waste of distances, the last word in isolation, and bravely began the long. hard struggle for bare existence. As home bullders and producers of the things that make other homes possible in cities and towns. Should not the people of these cities give some attention to legis- lation that will affect these producers— not paternal aid, but co-operative help, each working with the other for the wel- fare of all. These people have much to contend with—too much. Long distances to market, high prices for what they buy, low prices for what they sell. They are oppressed by ‘‘land sharks" and held up by “loan sharks. When they apply for a $2,000 loan on land, the basis of all wealth, they re- celve some $1,635 in cash and pay inter- est on the full $2,00. They pay interest on what the “loan shark” keeps. Can the state afford, can Omaha afford 10 have these producers driven from these new homes by thess financial middle- men.. Can the city atford to permit it springs of commerce to be dried up and its consumers driven out of their homea? These people do not want aid or charity, but they need and demand a square deal. It bankers and chambers of commerce are interested In the welfare of the producer let them help to remove these destroying forces that oppress these ploneers, who, if allowed to live, will be the very lifeblood of the great com- monwealth. The state should give at- tention to school laws, that these familics may not be driven from the land to the | citles or suffer the humiliation of bezging for aid, both in money and instructors. They must arrangg, to produce their own teachers if they are to remain a self- respecting, self-governing people. W. H. CAMPBELL. A Causeless War. YORK, Neb,, March 25.—To the Edi- tor of The Bee: Don't you think it about time we start that peace talk to Kurope again. So as to draw the eyes of the world from sceing us givi Mexico that little annual love tap. It is & vile shame for them to hearall of this cheap boast of our great and good traits of peace and goodwill big brother and Monroe doctrine, If at the same time tiey should see us down in Mexico in war array. Yes, this nation at war with Mexico, not that it is lable to turn into war, it is that this minute. By whatever name you may call it, will not change the facts. There 1 heard some one say, where e you been, don't you know that Mexico came over here and killed seventeen of our people. Yes, I réad they did, but if we go over there and kill seventeen will that bring our seventeen back or make right their killing—well he says they struck the first lick now it s our turn. If that is the rule we are to go by, we better come home at once or sooner, for my memory reach back to where we went into Mexico, began war on them, killed & lot_of them, took thelr second best seaport town, raised the Stars and Stripes over the customs house, collected the customs, gave orders that their presi- dent “must go." Then representatives of South American nations, shocked at the sight of a great nation like the United States to go to war with a little, weak and strife riven nation like Mexico, offered their good offices to try and bring peace, so they picked a jury ani we picked one and they worked for four months to settle the trouble and one of the conditions of that settlement was we were to stay out and let them alone and we boasted of our ‘‘watchful waiting” policy how fine it was working, but we could not sit still nor keep our tongue at home, but told them to quite fighting and bring order, then there was talk of favoring Villa. But finally the favors went to Car- | ranza, 8o what else do you expect fro@ | one with such a record as Villa back of Villa It is com- has? Then there s far than just his bad mon knowlege that one's character can be best told by what they most enjoy or engage in for amusement in their hours of relaxation. What has been the first and most followed sport in Mexico but fighting? 1t was bull fights, cock fights or duels for generations until it 1s out of the question to reason with them on any of the fine points of honor between men or nations, and to fight them is worse than folly and smacks of the big bully instead of the big brother. So I belleve that if we had stayed out and not meddled In what was their priv- ate affairs, this would not have happened. And Europe has more right to look on e with scorn for a real causeless war, than we have on them and we are headed for Furope's war too, unless we use more caution F. POPE more record. Algebra and ¥ r Mathematics. OMAHA, March To the Editor of The Bee: Naturally one takes sides with the under dog: 0 If a boy makes little headway in higher abstract mathematics there is no reason to put a dunce's cap on him and crush his ambition—for he may be brighter in other ways than the other fellow. Lowell said that “Talent is that which s In & man's power; genlus is that in whose power a man s This means that the majority of people cannot be taught music, for they have no brain lis to cull out the intervals of tones apart, like wé distinguish pepper from salt on the tongue; but the same may have oells of the mathematical kind. It is Dbetter to have to have some of all kinds of cells as talent than to be lop- sided and precocious prodigies or idiotic &8 many of the geniuses of music have been and also lightning lculators. It fallacy that the pinnacle of is the logic of deduction of abstract mathematics, but the fact Is that its axioms and postulates are not candidate for | | &ines of aclence are silent, standing aloot { & posteriori, melf-evident truths, absolute at all. At best it consists of a series of equations | or propositions of equality, so arranged that their elements are confronted at in their simplest state and the two state ments which we wish to prove identical | ¢ n are shown to be so. It then the main reason for pushing | higher mathematics be only for culture of pure unadulterated deductive logic, a priori, cut it out, for it does not. If the world had to depend on deduction (for we can never grasp the absolute), which it did till recent times, we would never get | anywhere, for like higher mathematics it | is purely an abstraction of mind and pays | no attention to the senses on which mod- ern progress is builded by eclence. To be | still_predicating, declaring and affirming | truths, self evident (a priori), like Xeno- phanes, Socrates and Plato, who in this | order affirmed the three peaks of the | Grecian philosophy (the rocks of ages of , all time, that we take for granted and | belleve (greatly on faith), namely, the | universals, absolute truth, goodness and heauty. These are not tangible to the perception of our senses nor come within our experience as self-evident, but by a priori proof only Before them as deduc tive processes of the mind, the great en- ns from religlon, sawing wood, for sclence | cannot bring such attributes and feelinge as vet forward into the cold light of ex- perience, classification and identification, which is the modern logic of induction or or from cause to effect. It | is now the sclentific idea that the world exists ds a thing independent of the mind that knows it. Ilence we now belleve in the real and not idealism and things sub- jective 80 much and hence the abstrac- tions of mathematics are out of place and the same time given might be best to teaching modern sciences. Why not teach logic itself, sometimes | called the science of the sciences? Or why not evolution and the origin of specles? And there would be less occa- sion to debate In the Young Men's Chris- | tian association whether there wére two Adams, for otherwise how did Cain get & wife in the land of Nod? Here is what D. B, 8mith, professor of mathematics in Columbia, says: “I maintain that algebra 18 not to be taught on account of its util- ity or any benefit that may be supposed to be got from it, but because it is a part of mathematical truth. For the mer- chant, lawyer and mechanic It is of slight practical value.”" Algebraists agree today that axioms are not self-evident truths, but merely general statements that need be considered with care in the light of modern science. Holmholtz saw clearly that space and geometrio axioms could no longer be extolled as self-evident a priorl truths and that our notion of parallel lines being indefinitely prolonged without meeting were assumptions that | could not be demonstrated. He saw that | the trouble with Buclid's geometry was that it assumes more than i needful and | necessary. He sald he could conceive ‘of | being conscious of only two dimenstons in,| space and others conscious of four dimen slons. He thought we might know more | of this fourth dimension in space if wo had some sense organs to make us know of its existence and that possibly the soul in the spirit world was of this dimension to us.
