Now that the rural credits bill has passed congress, why doesn't Omaha hop in and cop one of the new land-banks? Nebraska is entitled to one of these land-banks, as it is one of the greatest farming states in the union, and Omaha is the logical place to put the bank.—Franklin News. This is a pertinent question and also the cor- rect answer. By all the tests of geography, ac- cessibility, business and banking facilities, Omaha should have had the 16cation of the Federal Re- serve bank that went to Kansas City con- sequence of its superior political “pull” with the democratic powers that be. It is possible that possession of the reserve bank constitutes an ad- vantage for Kansas City in competing for the rural credits headquarters, but that is no bar to Omaha going after it and only an added reason why we should go after it harder. Although Omaha has not, we must confess, fared specially well in securing recognition from the present democratic administration. we ought to be able to command attention strictly on the merits of our claim. in — “Lese Majeste” in the Postoffice. For the second time within the year Post- master General Burleson has “fired” a postmaster for “lese majeste.” This time it happens to be Postmaster Porter of Bridgeport, capable and popular with the patrons of the postaffice he served, but guilty of the heinous crime of insist- ing on having more help and better pay for his help, that the service of his office might he im proved. When this request was turned down, he wrote to Washington, commenting on the fact that pay of high officials had been increased, while the department was insisting on rigid economy. This, according to the postmaster general, shows him, to be “grossly disloyal to the department,” and he was incontinently hounced This action by Mr. Burleson isn't exactly democratic, but is more the whimsical petulance of an autocrat. Mr, Porter might have couched his letter in more diplomatic terms, but he fol- lowed good precedent in going straight to the point in the good blunt fashion of an American citizen when criticizing his government. This seems to have héen too much for the testy post- master general, but his high and mighty method of enforcing loyalty isn't likely to prove popular, He may intend it as notice to other postmasters, as was the case of the Virginia postmaster who criticised the president’s second marriage, but this will not make it any better. Maybe the time has come when government employes are to be deprived of the right of free speech, but it seems strange that tenure of office is dependent upon endorsement of all that a cabinet officer does. This is un-American, but apparently is good practice under the present democratic administration ——— Standard Road Should Be Adopted. Good road building is being energetically pushed in Nebraska these days, and with promise of ultimate splendid results, Douglas county voters recently authorized a bond issue that will finance a four-year campaign of construction, and eventually will provide for a system of coun- try roads that should be of immense service, Other counties of the state are similarly active and the gospel of good roads is being more gen- erally preached today than ever. So far, so good. One most important factor is not get- ting proper attention, So far no standard has been set for the character of road that is to be built. Some thought has been given this point, but no definite action has been taken to secure the uniformity of construction that is vitally necessary to make the general road system that must come in time for Nebraska one of the high- est possible service at the least possible cost. Each county, each township and each community has its own ideas as to what is good to do, but quite a wide range of variation exists between these separate plans, Until they are co-ordi- nated, and a standard is fixed, the good roads movement of Nebraska will not be giving the best possible service to the state. The state en- gineer, or the engineering department of the Uni- versity of Nebraska, might well lead off in an effort to secure agreement on this, —_— Labor's Program for Peace and War. Samuel Gompers, addressing the convention of the League to Enforce Peace, outlines the position of organized labor of America on the question of war. It is almost wholly contained in the proposition that the war must be de- fensive, and that the people must have a voice in its declaration. This is quite in consonance with the general attitude of the American peo- ple. War is not made by hereditary rulers or privileged classes, in the United States, War can only be declared by congress. Even treaty obligations, such as that which bmds us to pre- serve the independence of Panama, must be taken to congress before commencing canflict Mr. Gompers' other propositions are quite in line with the thought of the d Regard- less of the outcome of the war now raging, it is difficult to conceive of an alliance of nations for reactionary purposes. The “Holy Alliance” of the early nineteenth century will not be revived at this day. Democracy s making long strides, and in the new era now dawning the people will more than ever have the ordering of their af fairs. Labor's program will fairly square with the aspirations of genuine d racy .

It is likely the so-called old guard leaders would pre- fer to nominate some other candidate, Never- theless the probability increases that political logic will be so plain by convention time that hoth elements \nlrjmn in tendering the nomina- tion to Hughes, who will accept in the continued absence of now unforseen complications, At the outset the strongest influences in Hughes' favor were negative ones, Admittedly a strong man of prcsxdrmial caliber, Hughes had taken no part n the party warfare of 1912 and 1914, Respected alike by conservatives and radicals he had not been identified with the olitics of either faction, Hughes had established rimself in the affections of the west by his campaign work for Taft in the 1908 campaign It was natural enough that in the early days of their tussle with the problem of 1916 the re- publican leaders should look to Hughes as the man most likely to reunite the party. They looked to him because of his unobjectionability, and they kept on looking to him after it became apparent that he would not seek the nomination, Until recently the Hughes possibility has been considered in connection with two ques tion marks, The first question to be answered was whether Hughes would accept the nomina tion. All along it seemed that he could not re- fuse a nomination that carried a real mandate from the republican party. There is no longer any doubt of his acceptance should the nomina tion be tendered on a clean plate. The other and the more important question was whether the republican. rank and file—the plain people east and west-——would “warm up” to him. As to that, his ability to hold his own in two New York state campaigns and his record as a cam paigner in the west offered the only testimony, Now that question, too, has been answered in conclusive style, The first impression of Hughes' strength with the rank and file was given in Nebraska, where on primary day, after Hughes had in- sisted on having his name removed from the ballot, some 15000 voters took the trouble to write in his name to indicate their preference for vrnidem, An even more emphatic example of {ughes' popularity was given out in Oregon the other day, when the courts refused to let his wishes govern and ordered his name printed on the ballot, There, in competition with two active candidates who were touring the state in their own interest, Hughes not only a passive but an unwilling candidate, polled some 10,000 votes more than both of his active competitors and registered a plurality of 25000 over the one who took second place. With the middle west and far west thus accounted for, it was im- portant to hear from the plain people in the east. The voice of the east was raised in Ver- mont last Tuesday. There the names of candi- dates were not printed on the ballot and all had an equal chance in the writing-in process, Hughes had an overwhelming majority of tho who were sufficiently interested to express their preference, polling 5480 votes to 1,831 votes for Roosevelt, while only scattering votes were cast for other candidates. It may be that Hughes was first pushed for- ward by practical politicians who wanted to get away from Roosevelt. It is plain that the argu- ments that appealed to the leaders have also ap- ealed to the rank and file and that they have allen hehind the Hughes candidacy, east and west, Unfolding the Roosevelt Plan. Springfield Republican: Perhaps the news from Oregon hastened the announcement of the republican organization that has been formed to urge the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt upon the republican national convention. To the illumination furnished by many newspaper canvasses and the primaries, showing that the majority of regular republicans do not want Mr, Roosevelt as their nominee this year, has been added the news that whereas Roosevelt lost in the only state where his name has been made an issue—Massachusetts—Justice Hughes, being placed in a similar position also against his wishes, came out an oveswhelming victor in Oregon, Surely something needed to be done to save the Roosevelt nomination from discouragement. He bade the country get itself into heroic mood and demand his services, When that method of attack proved unavailing, the colonel confessed in open letter that he was ready to accept the nom- ination from the party out of which he declared, four years ago, all virtue had fled. Now comes the last resort of open working, after the fash- ion of many “favorite sons.” To be sure, the delegation from New York is far more favorable to Hughes, the unwilling and undeclared, than it is to the man from Oyster Bay. Hence the effort to make the demand cover the country, All pretense of coyness has been taken awa from the Roosevelt candidacy to the last shred. He is in the ring with the rest battling for the highest honor within the gift of the republican party. There is not only humor in this situa- em, but grim reality as well, Under the banner of one who “better than any other man represents the spirit of American- ism awakened in the present crisis of the na- tion’s history,” republicans are invited to march, The headquarters of the new organization of which George von L. Meyer is chairman, are in the Biltmore hotel in New York City, where it will aperate #or a week before opening head- quarters in Chicago. The New York Roosevelt organ says this movement is backed by more than 2,000 republicans from all parts of the country In reading over the names it is in- teresting to note that most of them are not new recruits to the Roosevelt cause, Meanwhile the thing which troubles the sup- porters of Mr. Roosevelt and all the rest of the declared candidates is the amazing growth of the popular demand for the nomination of Jus- tice Hughes. Whit can be done to put an end to this irregular buy genuine indication of the desire of the unorganized but overwhelming masses of republicans’ Many g citigen is asking himself whether will be possible to trick or cajole Justice Hughes that it into saying something must remove him from the path of so many ambitions. Republi cans who favor him evidently think he has said | all he ought to say on this suhject. The Wash York scheme by ington correspondent of the New World believes he uncovered a & letter is to be sent about June 1 to all those has | | who have been named in connection with the | nomination for president, asking whether the use of the name of the man addressed is agree | able to him, and whether i nominated he will sceept the honor.

Omaha, ) 28.—To the Editor of The Bee.—Mrs. Sarah T. Rorer, advertised as the world's greatest dietian, says that the “bread and pies that mother used to make” are so dangerous to health that she wouldn't eat a piece of it for a dollar, but she fails to explain just what kind of cooking she subsisted on when a girl. Perhaps she was an expert on cooking when an infant and dictated the menu of the family The world is getting better morally, men- tally and physically, and in most American homes have been doing no on the “good old- fashioned cooking.” But out of this wild- erness of “erroneous dieting she comes with the beacon of rescue—her cook book—to lead us into the path of light, Why doesn’t she be honest with her audience and tell them that common sense, coupled with mod- eration in eating is the secret of health, She must have visited a majority of Amer- fean homes in not cook and table manners. one Ameriean order to learn that we could that we had such atrocious Mrs. Rorer probably visited home where the housewife cook, and instantly drew the ame shorteoming was characteristic of the whole nation, and be- cause she saw one German housewife who could eook necessarily thought all Germans were exceptionally good cooks. And like wise, because she sees a few “butterflies” flittering about the street, instantly be- comes imbued with the idea that all woman. kind are going to rack and ruin over clothes Mrs. Rorer also seems to be horrified at the thought of the lahorer expending the whola of his 87 & week to feed n family of wix, and this surprise in the face of the fact that the cost of living is constantly inereasing! Evidently the food revolution- is would recommend hardtack and water The faet that her audience has dwindled from 180 to fifty is pretty good evidence that Omaha women do not eare to spend their time listening to the advoeate of a cvok book that teaches how to starve a large family with healthy appetites on §7 a week. It is just such a brand of talk that sickens men against woman suffrage. She must have no fear aboult women ap preciating the ballot, for I believe that the majority would not use it as Mre, Rorer, but would vote with average intelligence, MRS, C. E. WALSH, Parke Avenue, . 1022 What Is the Nature of Republicanism? Omahs, May 27.—To the Editor of The Bee.—1 clipped the enclosed letter from the New York Times, written by Otto T. Bannard, delegate to the republican national convention, to an anti-Roosevelt republican in his district defining his own position, which id to be that of most New York organization republicans : “I have your letter of yesterday stating your strong opposition to the nomination of Roosevelt and asking me my views be- cause 1 am a delegate to the republican na- tional convention from your district. “I cannot coneeive of & republican eonven- tion selecting as its candidate for president a member of a different political party, either democrat or progressive. “The mere statement of the proposition should defeat it and if the republican party should admit there was no one in its party worthy of the nomination it could not hope for, nor could it meet success. Buch a transplanted ‘outlander’ candidate would be besten before the hot weather was over. Nor could any republie justly eriticised for openly opposing this exotie. “A republican who voted for Wilson would not be deserting his party; his party would have deserted him. Yours faithfully, Otto T. Bannard.” To me the above letter hi true repub- lican ring to it. It sounds if it were solid coin. I wonder how many republican delegates from Nebraska would be willing to publicly subscibe to such sentiments? T. F. H, A. Life Long Republican: What Chance for Arbitration? May 28.—To the Editor of Imost ineredible to be- lieve that people who are supposed to be well posted on international affairs are so simple as to take notice of peace rumors. The German violation of Belgium’s neutral- ity was & direct blow at the British lion's bread basket and rted the lion's tail wagging to such an extent that the com- bined influentisl power of the neutral coun- tries of the world cannot stop it. The Wil- son administration killed its influence in England when it neglected to protest against the violation of Belgium’'s neutral- ity and also when it submitted to the con- tention that submarines had a legal right to act as commerce raiders, as a result hun- dreds of non-combatants have been slaugh- tered. Great Britain's dependence on neu- tral countries for the necessities of life has hamstringed the British navy, but this handicap is gradually being overcome and will be accomplished in due time, as a result British naval power will be used to the maximum legal limits, People who think the German fleet will not be forced by economic stringency to come out and fight, do not realize the tenacity of the British lion. Nelson waited two years at Toulon. Lord Cornwallis waited three years at Brest. THOMAS HENRY WATKINS. A Tribute to Dr. Rowlands. Omaha, May 27.—To the Editor of The Bee.—This simple tribute to Dr. Rowlands, who is about leaving the First Baptist church may give people some idea of the estimate his fellows in the ministry place on him: Some men are like a brooklet, narrow and deep: the water fn it is pure, and it is a blessing as far as it goes, but its sweep is narrow and short. Others are like the Nile river, which ever and anon becomes & great swelling, rolling flood that almost terrifies In its greatness, but hrings life and joy to thousands of men and women In ite passing.
