MAKINq rHE srArE pLArFoRM.


A number of the state papers are
commenting on the actor Of the repub-
lican state committee, ordering the ex-
ecutive committee to appoint thirty
days in advance Of the state convention
resolutions committee consisting OF
one member from the state at large and
one from each congressional district to
formulate the platform on which the
state ticket is to be nominated.
That this is a decided innovation goes
without saying The usual practice has
been to leave the appointment Of this
committee to the chairman of the con
vention after that body has been perma-
nently organized. AS a consequence
members of the committee are UMPIRE
pared for the work. The platform is
put together I'm a rush from fragments
contributed from here, there and every
where and the report of the committee,
delayed until after the nominations
have been made is ratified without dis
cussiOn or even comprehension.
The old system was unquestionably
bad, but It remains to be seen whether
the proposed innovation will meet ex-
pectations. No matter what the recon-
mendations of the executive committee
may he, it still rests with the conven-
| ton to accept them or to reject them.
The committee also will run the risk in
making its selections thirty days in adj
vance of naming men who may not be
members of the convention and thus
really ineligible TO serve.
In Iowa the republicans got around
this difficult point by having their COM
mittee members chosen in district eau
cuses held before the state assembling
of the convention and dividing the
convention into two sessions, to give
the committee time for its deliberations
during its recess. In Iowa, however
the platform is usually written by one
of the recognized party leaders dele
gated to the task and submitted for
careful revision to the most trusted
party counsellors before being presented
TO the convention.
The plan proposed to Nebraska repub
leans for their next state platform may
work out all right II surely cannot be
worse than previous practices, but
should it not prove satisfactory, the
Iowa plan may offer the solution.

REGISTER TODAY.

Only one day is provided for the re-
vision of the registration lists for the
city election. The registrars win sit
today in the respective polling places
in each voting district from o'clock in
the morning until 8 o'clock at night.
All unregistered voters who wish to
participate in Tuesdays election must
appear personally before the registrars
and see that their names are properly
enrolled This includes:
1. Those who neglected for any reason
to be registered for the election last fall.
2 Those who have perfected their
residence in Omaha since the election
last fall.
3. Those who have become natural
lied since last falls election.
A. Those who have attained their ma
jority so as to be first voters this spring.
5. All who were registered last year
on the primary election day, which reg
istration was later declared to be void
by the supreme court, and who failed
to re-register on subsequent registration
days.
6. All who were specially registered
by affidavit before the city clerk for the
recent municipal primaries
In addition to those who must be reg
istered anew as here enumerated, all
voters who have changed their residence
from one voting district to another
since they registered last fall must ap-
pear before the registrars of the dis
trict in which they are enrolled and pro
cure transfer certificates to the district
in which they now live.
Failure to see to it that your name Is
properly enrolled ON the registration
books from the place where you now
reside is the same as self-disfranchise
ment, because there is practically nc
way for anyone who is in the city and
able to register today to swear in
his vote on Tuesday.

RAILROAD, NOT TARIFF LEGIsLA TITO,

RAILROAD, NOT TARIFF LEGISLA TION
There is no occasion for devoting the
remaining time of this session of con-
gress either to eloquence or parlia-
mentary jockeying on one side or the
other of the tariff question, although a
disposition TO do so has lately been man.
ifested. The subject is legIslatively inn
practical at this time. If the country
had demanded tariff revision as the
paramount business in hand it would
have been necessary for congress at the
very opening of the session to devote
its time and energies to the subject, and
in all probability public sentiment
would have required an extraordinary
session last fall. Such sentiment was
entirely and conspicuously absent.
President Roosevelt and the leaders
of the republican party, which is
charged with the responsibility of gov
eminent, read Alright the demand of the
country TO attend to a different subject
from tariff revision, namely, control of
railroad corporations, and they made no
mistake when they refused to be diverted
therefrom either by hostile partisan
tactics or by impatient and misdirected
urging from within their own party.
The country was and is prospecting un-
der a republican protective tariff as IT
never prospered under any democratic
tariff. The matter Of tariff revision on
protective lines had not been decisively
or thoroughly considered within the
party nor had broad party agreement,
indispensable to wise and safe action.
been reached as TO time and manner OF
revision. And unless the dominant
question of national supremacy over and
stricter control of transportation cor
pOratiOns, which public opinion imperi.
Ously demanded should be dealt with
was to be abandoned and to fail, IL was
obviously impossible for the republican
party to discuss and agree and dispose
OF the immense work of a general re
vision of the tariff at this session. The
/ only result or attempting 10 deal at the
same time with railroad regulation and
tariff revision, as the president ana far
seeing party leaders evidently realize
would have been for the party to fail in
both legislative efforts and thus to pave
the way for throwing the next congress
ana possibly the next national admin
istratiOn, into the hands of the demo
cratic party.
The present session is now far spent
only a few weeks remaining till the or
binary time for adjournment, and II
ought not 10 be forgotten that a meas

not yet been enacted into law. While
even debate in the senate Is still drag
ging its slow length along, it would I'M
der all the conditions be the extreme Of
folly TO divert public attention from the
main business in hand by an exciting
partisan OF an acrimonious factonal
controversy on tariff revision from
which no legislative result could by any
possibility come.
SO long as the railroad rate issue is
unfinished business the republican party
should concentrate every energy TO
bring it to a conclusion. and if that
work be well done before this session
closes the party can appeal with conf
dence to the people to be trusted with
tariff revision.

General Funston was few years
