WHEN THE STATE COMMITTEE MEETS
The republican state committee has
been called TO meet next week. The
cali issued by Chairman Warner intl-
mates that at will probably be the
most important meeting held for some
time" Chairman Warner is emiuently
correct in emphasizing the Importance
OF this meeting. which will arrange all
the preliminaries for nominating the
republican state ticket to be voted on
this fall
The first question to be met involves
the adoption of some form OF direct
primary expression. conforming to the
platform declaration Of the last repuh-
lican state convention. That the senti-
ment of the rank andfile is largely in
favor Of direct nominations has become
more and more apparent. The main
objection urged to providing for a d.
rect expression of preference this year
is that il is unwise to anticipate a
primary law which will make direct
nominations compulsory upon all politi-
cal parties-in other words, that direct
nominations are a good thing, but
should not be inaugurated except under
compulsion of law. This objection
needs but to be stated to be exposed as
frivolous. There is nothing whatever
to prevent the party committee from
instituting any proper method of nomi-
mating candidates and many Of the most
successful direct nomination systems,
especially In the south, have been put
into operation and maintained without
any special legislative authority. Every
other objection presented against a di-
rect primary expression adheres in much
more obnoxious form to the old cOnven-
ton system, which has the additional
Objectionable feature of making nomi-
nations depend in their finality upon
mere barter and sale of delivered dele
cations.
Another overshadOwing question to be
decided, independent of the method Of
nomination. turns on whether the call
shall or shall not include the nomination
Of candidate for United States sena-
tor. Nebraska democrats tried con-
vention nomination for United States
senator in 1894, but have not repeated
their experiment, and it is understood
that they will make no senatorial nomi-
nation this year. The only conven-
ton nomination of a republican candi-
date for the United States senate took
place two years ago, and there is some
dispute as to whether that constitutes a
! binding precedent. There is no ques-
ton but that the republican rank and
file are eager to have something to say
about the selection of their senator, and
in our judgment the popularity of con-
vention nomination for senator will de-
pend altogether upon how much oppor-
| tunity the rank and file are given to
make known their preferences and to
enforce them.
AS to the minor question of time of
convention, sentiment throughout the
state seems to favor date neither
early nor late, presumably some time
in August. The main point here is that
ample notice be given of what nomina.
tons are to be made and how they are
to be made, so that there shall be nc
chance of snap Judgment or under
mi IL
must be fair and square-particu
larly the nomination for United States
senator, If made at all-if they are t.
have the needed acquiescence of the
voters and of the various legislative
nominees.

Light on Grave Problem.
Minneanolis Journal.

The Nebraska supreme court has handed
down a decision on Nebraska's anti-ciga-
rette law, which was tested in the courts
by a young man arrested on the charge
of rolling cigarette. The effect of the
decision lie 10 sustain the law in general
making the sale and manufacture of ciga-
rettes illegal, but the rolling of cigarettes
by individuals for their own use is not

the court did not rule on the legality Of

their by-products out into other people

one Negro who Is Of light hue should
feel superior to these of darker hue,
surpasses comprehension, especially
as the admixture Of white blood is al
most always the result Of our unfor'

there any better reason why dark Ne
