Omaha is surely coming into its own as the market town of the great west, It has been a work of ardous endeavor, not easily accom- plished, but it is certainly reaching the goal. The latest step Is the establishment of a bhay market exchange, wherein will be concen- trated the buying and selling of this staple farm product, and the establishment of standards for grading, the publication of current prices on an authoritative basis, and the doing ,of other things that will be helpful to all concerned, This market wtarts under conditions that sliould bring suceess. The Omaha live stock market struggled for years for the recognition that finally came, and is now pressing close for the premler posgition. The grain market that followed had an even more bitter fight, but has won ity right, and is also fast moving to the front. Our butter market I8 slowly forcing It- #elf on the attention of the world, and with these examples before them, the projectors of the hay market ought to be the more confident of thelr futurg¢, Omaha Is the natural shipping point for the richest agricultural region in the world, and It will yet be the market town on whowk transactions the selling prices of farm products for the world are fixed, Give Us An Honest District Clerk, There 1s just one way to stop the fee graft ih the district clerk’s office and that is by eleet- fug an honest man for district ¢lerk, Patch up the law as we may, to close the holes through vhich a greedy hand can reach, a dishonest dis- trict clerk will hunt for more holes and hire tilcky lawyers to attack the validity of the law that blocks his stealing, Harry G, Counsmun lican nomination for pledge: “Kvery dollar of fees above the legal salary will be turned into the county treasury,” No one who is acquainted with Mr, Couns- man personally, or who knows his record as county assessor, will for a moment doubt that he means what he says and that he will scru- pulously live up to his promise in letter and spirit, Eleet Harry G, Counsman clerk of the dis- triet court and the work of the office will be done better than It has ever been done and every dollar that comes over the counter will go into the public treasury, where It belongs, and not & cont Into his private pocketl above his rightful salary, in anking thig office the repub- upon this Who Is Back of the Rumors? Beveral days ago the president of the United ftates made an appeal for a cessation of ru- mors and nnfounded reports concerning our dealings with Mexico, He hinted at sinister interests behind the fakes, and Indirectly intl- mated hig intentlon to expose them, The last day or two has seen a great revival of contra- dictory and unfounded reports from the south- ern border, all at varlance with what purports to be official news from Washington, The American people are willing to be falr with the administration, and have no desire to hamper the president in hig work, but they like to keep posted as to what the government Is doing. They recognize the military necessity of keeping gecret the movement of troops in the fleld, but treir wonder ig Increased by the vague hints from the president. Mr. Wilson has not always been so frank in his dealings with his country- men as to deserve their unquestioning confi- dence. His sending of personal messengers on gecret misslons has aroused public curlosity, at least. Just now the people would like to know who g back of the Villa rumors, —_— If Republicans Are Grateful. In other states the much-prized honor of ropresenting the party as a delegate to a na- tional convention is awarded to the man who incessantly boosts for the success of the party t'cket and never secks office for himself. Tt is the only reward that can be given for such too rare personal sacrifice in party service, If the republicans of this district want to do the decent thing, they will apply this rule in favor of one of the eight aspirants for the commigsion to represent them at Chicago, They will thus recognize the work this one man has done, In season and out of season, to keep the republican banner flylng and elect republican candidates to office. Myron L. Learned is en- titled to election by acclamation, leaving only the second place open to the competition of the other good men who are after It. That Is what would happen if thix cholce were made in con vintion and that Is what should be done at the primary. —_— Gasoline Supply and Demand I'he preliminary report of the United States Trade commission on the tople of gasoline may pot console the consumers greatly, but It Is caleulated to temporarily at least silence the ery of unfalr manipulation of prices.

Geneva Bignal: Victor Rosewater, editor of The Omaha Bee, is heading & movement to have the name of Justice Hughes written on the primary ballot by the republican voters of Nebraska as their preference for the republican nomination for president It s the general opinfon that o large majority of ? #ka republicans would favor the nomination of Mr, Hughes if they could be wure that he would have A reasonable chance for the nomination under all of the clroumstances, Mr. Hughes has absolutely re- fused to permit his name to be used in any state as A candidate, The necessary steps were taken to plioe his name on the Nebraska primary ballot by thoss who favored his nomination but he withdrew his name Bimilar events occurred in other siates. Many friends of Mr. Hughes Insist that he tuke the nomination If tendered him in a proper man ner by the republican nstlonal convention and their position seems quite reasonable. However, the elo ment of uncertainty is wo great that it militates agoinat his chances to be offered the nomination by Nobody seems 1o huve any authority In order to assint will the convention, to say what he will or will not do. any voter who may think it best to so to write the name of Justice Hughes on the primary ballot the Blgnal fa running some cuts making clear the method to be followed, In order to have the vote count tha name will have to be written on the ballot correctly and In addition the proper croms must be made in the proper square. 1f you want to express & praf Hughes for president be careful to do Otherwise you will wimply lose your arence for Mr ®0 correctly vote Hughes Stock Golng Steadily Up.

Hughes on the primary ballots as candidate for president. Justice Hughes has sald that he will not enter the race and has re fused to allow his name to be placed on primary ballots, but he har not sald that he would refuse the nomination It it is given him, The general feeling over the country appears to he that Mr. Hughes Is the strongest candidate the republicans can put up and there 18 u general disposition on the part of many to force him into the race, Nebraskn Watehed Throughout the Counntry, Shelton Clipper: The result of the movement in Nebraska to “write in” the name of Charles E. Hughes for president, despite the fact that it does not appear on the primary ballot, will be watched throughout the country, If & majority of the repub- licans of the state go to this much trouble to let it be known that the popular demand is for Charles B, Hughes o thelr presidential standard bearer, other states are bound to sit up and take notice, It is the Intelligent Nebraska voter who can be depended upon to do this very thing at the primary election and everyono who belléves Justice Hughes Is the most popular man for presient should not fall to “rite in’' his name where the blank line appears on the ballot Writing Lexington It I8 becoming more evident Ploneer: that the republicans of Nebraska are in favor of Charles 1. Hughes as thefr national standard bearer in the coming presidential struggle. While he har rofused to allow his name to be used as a candidate it is evident (hat If the party calls persistently for him he will consent to become it candidate, » only Wiy now to express a preference for Mr, Hughes Is te write his name on the ballot at the approaching primary. 1t will require but a little time to write on the blank line on the ballot under the heading ‘‘for president,” the name, “Charles B, Hughes " Call Stealght from the Peopl Verdel Outlook: The best way to make sure Hughes accepts the presidential nomination is to s him that the demand comes straight from the peopic Nebraska republicans, under our presidential primary law, have the opportunity to give convineing proof of the extent of this demand by “writing in” the name “Charles 1. Hughes' on their ballots, that W Sort of Call He Wouald Accept. Ord Quizt It 1a & matter of deep regrot to thous sands of Nebraska republicans that it was not possible for Justice Hughes to be & candidate before the pri maries in this state. That was, however, impossible In the first place, Hughes does not desire to be president, e 1n & lawyer and hia mind runs in legal channels. He has a life job whers he is and it is work that he knows how to do and enjoys. The honor | 18 Almost It not as great as belng president. It he becomes a presidential candidate he must, of coures, reslkn at once and there I8 nlways the possibliity that he would not e elected, though in the minds of most AL the same time yopublieana that eha s remote. Mr. Hughes has always been a republican and what he I8 In & public way he Iargely owes the republican party.

Beveral strong Nfe-time democrats whom 1 talked with coming through Kentucky, Tennes- #see and Alabama sald they had always voted the democratic ticket, but if Mr Hughes was nominated they would sure vote for him.
