The Bee's thanks to our amiable democratic ccntemporary, the World-Herald, for its kindly tnough probably unintentional boost for plan to show the Nebraska voters ‘how to write in” the name of Charles E presidential primary ballot. The World-Herald picture man suggests that republicans, who fuvor Woodrow Wilson, should “write in” that neme and we heartlly concur for we do not be- lieve there are many republicans, here or else- our wkere, who want to keep a democratic presi- dent In the White House By the same reasoning, however, the World- Herald is in duty bound to call upon democrats, who do not want Woodrow Wilson for presi- dcnt, to “write in’' some other name on the blank line provided for that purpose on the democratic primary ballot, notwithstanding the fret that the name of Woodrow Wilson s the We have not the slight- est doubt that there are in Nebraska hundreds of democrats who prefer Hughes rather than Wilson to every republican who prefers Wilson rether than Hughes All The Bee wants Is that our voters, re- gardless of party, shall express their real preference for president according to the Intent and purpose of the primary law. If they will do that, & will only be a question of how big a majority will be piled up for Charles 1, Hughes. Less Winter Wheat for United States The preliminary forecast of the winter wheat | ¢1op for the United States, by the Department of Agriculture, places the total prospective yield at 455,000,000 bushels, or 200,000,000 Lushels less than the estimated yleld for last year, This change s due to the abandonment : the farmer, for the season I» generally favorable. What (t presages for the country at large will be the subject of a great deal of speculation. KEven with the acreage and yleld of spring wheat up to Ilast season’s 1ecord breaking total, It will shortage in wheat, The billlon bushel crop of 1915 left only abhout a quarter of a billion bushels for sale abroad, the balance being re Hughes on their | mean a serious | quired for home consumption. With a prom fred reduction of 200,000,000 bushels in the | total at thie time, and other conditions the | sume, the farmers will send to market about | enough wheat to provide for the home require- wients, Sevoral reasons might be assigned for the change; the difficulty in getting the wheat te, market, caused by the disturbance in ship- ping incident to the war; the general level of prices, which was fay below the expected figure; the certainty of a big increase In the sell- Ing price of binding twine; the scarcity of farm labor and its effect on the harvest, all enter frto the problem. These, happily, are not fixed conditions, and In time will be adjusted, but (Lo public will feel the shortage in wheat yleld, and the farmer must shoulder his share ————— Preparedness and Politics, Democraty in congress are now seeking to turn the movement for national defeuse to par- tisan advantage, None need be especially sur- prised at this, for it was (00 much to expect that the leaders of the administration party would remain more true to thelr professions on this point that they have on others, Just now Secretary Josephus Daniels {s the chief of- fender. He concluded a three-day sitting be- fere the house committee on naval affairsg with on exhibition of partisan bias that s almost incredible In a cabinet officer, In pretend'ng to oxplain and defend his own course, he took oc- caslon to criticise the acts of former adminis- trations, and especially to call into question the record of Secrotary Meyer, whose program was cut to bits by a democraMe congress under pre- tense of economy, This same congress was responsible for the biggest total of appropria- tions ever made for carrying on the govern- ment, only exceeded its successor, domi- nated by the southern brigadiers, which went even farther {n spending public money, and did even less for the navy of the United States 8ix months ago President Wilson pleaded for patriotic and not partisan consideration of the country's needs, a plea that was met by the republicans with perfect frankness and pledges of support, The time since then has been frit tered away in desultory debate, while the ma by Jority party In congress has been laying plans | to make {tself appear as the country's savior It the record so far made is to be taken as a basis for judgment, to preparedness for national defense, and are afrald to take the responsibility of refusing to carry oul a reasonable program Secretary Danlels, in glving his reasons for modifying the plans of the general naval board, sald the olose of the war would find the nations ready to agree to & lmitation of armament!

Aa the evidences of his popularity increase and his willingness to accept the nomination is coming everywhere to be taken for granted, the politiclans have entered upon a policy o/ heckling Mr. Mughes as to where he stands upon the insiies of the day. The purpose of their trick Is plain They know they cannot compel him to resigh from the bench and enter the arena of active candidates They hope, however, either to provoke him into de clining the nomination in advance or to raise in the minds of the people s reasonable doubt as to his avallability It 18 the privilege of anyone Lo oppose Mi on the ground that he does not know his views 7 why Mr, Hughes should resigr free 1o apnounce his Attempt to Hughes. Hughs "t 18 no reason, however, from the beneh In order to be views, ¥ he an opportunist whose words and deeds of today contradict his words and deeds of yesterday he would not be the favorite for the presidency thrt he is. Happlly, however, his whole record in private citizen whowe Amers and publie life shows him to be a eanism needs neither to be defined nor defended. No will the hypocritical doubts of the politicians who are opposing his nomination mi 4 the people Into Alx trusting thelr own personal preference for his leader ship There i no ground for doubting that Mr will aceept it nomineted, and thers In no ground fo doubting that he will stand firmly upon a platfor n embodying the principles which Mr. Lodge and M Root and Mr. Borah have so clearly and enunciated In the senate during the last three If Mr. Hughes cannot accept the platform of his party he can be counted upon to decline ita nomination, 1f the politiciana who are trying to prevent his nomina- tion raally belleve that Mr. Hughes is against prepar edness, why do they not devote their efforis to the formulntion of a platform declaring for a program of ndequate national defense as the sureat way of head ing off the nomination of the man they so fear? The eall of Mr. Hughes comes up from the peopis. It in not manufactured by the politicians. Hence thel) resort to all sorts of devices to drown (he popular demand for nomination of & man they eannot control Hughes COUrAgROUTY earn the Hughes' Position on FPresent K. Louls Globe-Democrat: Tn the discussions of the avallability of Justice Hughes as a republican can didate for president, much has baen seid of the lach of knowledge of his position on the political questions now at {ssue. Justice Hughes has been a member of the supreme court since 1910 and during this time he heen debarted by the traditions of his high office from public utterances upon political, and particulariy partisan, subjects, Nor has the present consideration of his name in connection with the presidency drawn from him any statement of his views, publicly or pri. But the records of his politieal activity during the y in which he was free, and in duty bound, (o discuss such subjects, reveal his attitude toward clurrent {sauas as clearly as if he were apeaking now How does Hughes stand on preparednesa” I8 natu- rally the first question asked, it being uppermonst in the minds of the people. He anawered thal auestion In the campaign of 108 when he sald: "It s our con stant aim to live In friendship with all nations and (¢ realize the alms of n free government, secure from the Interruptions of strife and the wastes of war. It entirely conststent with these aims, and it ix our duty to make adequate provision for our defense and t« maintain the efficlency of our army and navy. Ana this [ favor.' In the light of that time he could hardly have said more. That, with this attitude In 1908, he could now be for anything less than a full and altogether sufficlent preparation for events that Inter developments have made possible, is unbeliev- able. Justice Hughes' mind Is not of the weather cock type. On the contrary, such criticlsm as has heen volcad, has been against his firmness and tenacity of opinion. Justice Hughes YA protective tariff,” vately strongly in tavor of protection he sald in 1008, “is essential to the Interests of olur wage earne and he urged st that time the appointment of & tariff commission, “in order to effect whatever readjustment may be neces sary to make the tariff schedules consistent with th principles underlying the protective policy.” 1In the same campaign, referring to forelgn affairs, he said ““The republican party has maintained the natlonal honor, and under its direction American diplomacy has attained the highest levels of honorable purpose and distinguished achlevement From such utterances as these, when governor of New York, it 1s mot difficult to discern the present views of the justice of the supreme court Twice Told Tales Grateful for Train Wreck, We were hounding along,” swid a recent traveler on & local South African single-line rallway, “at the and the whole train was shaking terribly, 1 expected every moment to see my hones protruding through my skih.

MYER Wants Playground In Bemis Park, OMAHA, April 9.~To the Fditor of The Bee: My attention has recently been called to the fact that a few of the residents of Bemis Park distric: are objecting to the playground for children in Bemis Park, This playground was eatablished ut the request of the HBemiw Park District Improvement club ut meeting attended by Mr, Humimel Thm' was not a dissenting vote was pleased when Mr, Hummel, the vote was taken, promised to estab- lish the playground. It certainly has been greatly enfoyed by the children of that section, Some people cannot en- Joy themselves and are not content to see others have a good time. This play ground has been a great joy to the youngsters surrounding the park. The moat of the people objecting, do not take Interest enough in the nelghborhood to oven attend the meetings of the Im orovement alub. 1 have heard some of the little folks say: “Are we not mer? We hope they won't take it awny." Tt would be a shame to deprive thess little folks of the playground.

Many a runner starts out looking fit, but after a lap or two, falls behind and is “all in” ac the finish of the race. So it is with typewriters. Some of them do good work at the start, but under the strain of continued use lose the close adjustments necessary to produce neat, clean cut typewriting. They fail before they reach the home uretcl% The L. C. Smith & Bros. typewriter will run the ordinary course, come in strong at the finish—and be ready for another race. One of the reasons for this is the ball bearings found in all much used parts. Constant use can only make them run smoother and “sweeter.” The L. C.
