Our fervent prayer njnust be that this good luck may not turn, for, if it should, our woeful dictment of our recklessness An Irresistible Conclusion. Nearly two-thirds of the republican news- rapers in, Nebraska, sensing the sentiment of | their respective communities, volced the con vietion during the preliminary primary cam- paign that, with Charles E. Hughes as the party standard bearer, the complete reunfon of the elements would be sure and republican success in state and nation made certain 80 far as anyone can see, the result of the primary has not changed this gituation, and while the magnitude of the task of "writing in” a name on the ballot prevented Hughes from polling the plurality of the votes, the neck- end-neck race of Ford and Cummins, facilitated by having their names printed on the ballot, fulls to show any decisive demand for efther ef them above Hughes. This Interpretation In reinforced by the fact that the most outspoken Hughes man, running for delegate-at-large, scores several thousand more votes than his next nearest competitor and that a good ma jority of all the delegates chosen fo represent | Nebraska at Chicago had announced their per o | tlon, mnd with such adroltness as to. suggest 10 say positively ungrateful, coming from a avoldance Smmep—— of humanity will not be fully | practicing duplicity. sonal preference to be for Hughes, No one can welgh these different factors impartially without reaching the conclusion that the rank and file of the republicans in Ne- braska, all elements of them, would like, after the favorite sons have enjoyed their compli- ments, to help nominate Charles ¥, Hughes, President Wilson as a Candidate. In hig Jefferson day speech Mr, Wilson for the nonce assumed the character of a candidate, sgeking support for his second term nomina- careful prepuration fop the role. His studious of real issues, and his deliberate emi- phasi the ex- perfenced politiclan, pretending frankness and Grave questions of inter- national relations were touched upon gingerly, while the president modestly claimed to have solved the economic and soclal problems of the country through legislation enacted since he came into office, This challenge to critielsm will be*met in detail, as time goes on, but it will be a difficult cholce to select one point in his armor and say It is the most vulnerable, so full of holes is his covering. The one-term plank of the Baltimore plat- fcrm will be an awkward thing; no matter why that plank was adopted, the president stood pledged to it until nearly two years after his election.

They are content with being whirled away as mysteriously as the old women #peeding earth are Interested only in seeing the stars flv by, and care nothing about the marvelous ma- chinery of the anclent car that carries them or about the source of the electric banners that it flings out #8 it dashes along the endless roads of space. “How #mooth whe goes, and what a sensation we must bLe making.' There in reason to belleve that at least half bf tha | entire bullk of the earth consists of iron, Deep in the Interior of the globe there is probably a great core of metallie iron, intermingled with other heavy metals, Bineo we know that fron Iy the most readily magnet faed of all substances, and since we find ores of iron which are natural magnets, we aee the mructure of the earth itself one of the reasons why it has become a gigantic magnet, with two opposed poles, such as all magnets have, I think that the ultimate spurce of the earth’s mag netiem Is in the sun, Torrents of electrons pass from the excited surface of the sun out into wpace on all sides, mid the earth recefves its share of these, as of the wolar light and heat At times mspocia! outbursts of solar energy send eloctric charges of uncommon intensity to the earth, and then the latter visibly responds with the waving curtains of the polar lights, and with “magnetio storms.” Thus, in & sense, the earth is envetoped with an eloctric fleld originated by the sun, and, rotating within that fleld, its huge globe, so largely composed of pire iron, becomes magnetized, But this is only a general statement of the manner in which the earth has been magnetically charged Home of the probable detalls are indicated In Prof, Sylvanus Thompson's sug fon that the evaporation In the tropies causes the ascending currents of heatod air to be positively eloctrified, and that, as they trayel northward and southward until they descend in the polar reglons, they act like electric currents,, within which the earth ls rotating Prof. Thompson has for many years upheld the view that “this thermodynamiec production of polur currents, In conjunction with the earth’s diurnal rotu- tion, affords the only rational means yet muggested for nocounting for the growth of the earth's mag- netism to its present state.’ In fact, It would be astonishing If the earth wera not magnetized. In the presence of the sun it s like a watch In the nelghborhood of a dynamo. It Is lkely that all the planets are magnets, and partieularly thoss that are nearer the sun than the earth is, vis,, Venus and Mercury, 1f Venus, now.so brilliant in the’| ovening sky, should drift close to our planet, 1 should oxpeot (Alsregnrding the effects of gravitation) to see the two behave like a palr of magnetized balls float- ing on water. If they approached, with similar poles in advance they would repel one another, but If with opposite poles confronted the encounter would cee- tainly end in a magnetic kiss If wo could Jift off the cover of the earth-engine we might find out why Its magnetic elements are so strangely variable, When words are used accurately there |8 nothing more misleading than to say that the magnetic needls points north. At New York it points At present nearly ten degrees west of north, at Denver about fifteen degrees east of north; only along an ex- tremely crooked line running from Charleston, 8. C., to the northern end of Lake Michigan does the needle point trué north, ! At Tondon the needls points about sixteen degreey wewt of nerth, but 200 years ago it pointed exmctly north, and about 120 years before that it pointed eleven dogreen east of north. For some unexplained reason there 18 a slow swing, eastward and westward, in the direction of the magnetic meridians of the earth, oc- cupying about 640 years for each double vibration. At the same time the position of the poles of mag- netism appears to change in the earth, and In the #ame Iatitude the needle dips more at one time than at another. At the magnetic poles, which are far from the geographic poles, the needle stands upright, show- Ing that there the magnetic lines of force run straight downward.

TIPTON Af Women Were Soldiers, OMAHA, April 2.-To the FEditor of The Bee: The American Women's League for Defense voted several days ago to 'wear trousers in time of war. The dear women are Adrilling and getting patriotic and preparing to be of service when jingo activity shall have driven the country into wholesale slaughter, They 4o not propose to fight, They will drill and strut around in male atire and stay at home—presumably to bring forth soms to carry on the work of de- struction in the future, To be like sol- diers, however, they would not stop at this, To be real “defenders of the land of the free,” they ought to do more. They #hould go to the front, burn and destroy, maim and kill, and those surviving go home, covered with glory, foul witk dis- ease and filled with contempt for honest labor and” laborers, If these women expect to be like sol diers, they must expect to descend to the lowest depths of cruelty and shame and suffering; to purge from their hearts every feoling of pity; to commit any crime, no matter how black, If it be In the name of law and order and love of country, The pleture {8 not overdrawn.

EDMUND R, BRUMBAUGH Limitations on Seeretary of State. EXETER, Neb., April 20.—To the Editor of The Bee: I notice that Becretary Pool has gathered his brains into massed for- mation and “decided” that an individual voter cannot write in the name of the candidate of another party on the blank space on the primary ballot provided for that purpose and have the vote counted. 1 can hardly think that Secretary Pool could have made the idiotlc decislon that the newspapers attribute to him, or in fact that he would be foollsh enough to make any decision at all in matters en- tirely outside of his jurisdiction, The law says that the secretary of atate has control of the preparation and print- ing of the ballots. He s simply a clerical officer, not in a sense a judicial one, and his decision in matters outside of those which the law puts under his immediate control is just as valuable as that of my- self or Robert i, Ross of Lexington, who {s generally consldered the champlon fdiot in the state.
