Qua LETTER BOX.


OMAHA. July B.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: Il seems passing strange in this day
there should be an attempt at serious
argument against the nomination OF
United states senator at the republican
state convention. Nebraska is regarded as
a progressive state. Like most OF the other
states Of the union-all OF the northwestern
states without exception-its leaders ana
its legislator have gone on record in favor
OF election Of senators by popular vote
In some minds there may be question OF
the wisdom OF that method considering
the peculiar purpose for which the United
States senate was created. But surely
there will be no question that nomination
by state convention is the cleanest method
yet proposed and will come nearer to eX-
pressing existing popular sentiment than
any other
As an humble assistant in the election
Of three United States senators by legisla-
ture the writer knows that the process Is
demoralzing and questionable in the high
est degree. Scheming and jockeylng trad
ing and traficking. have been and always
will he inseparable from election by the

Job Of selecting n senator as in some
mysterious way peruulsite Of their ONCE;
the officers. legislators included, is wise
enough and well posted enough to give an
authoritative mandate to the state delegates
that will represent the very best sentiment
OF the state.
The nomination by state convention is
the most significant step forward yet taken
along the line Of popular choice. No man
should or can get this endorsement. In
fair open fight, unless he be not only well
known, but well based in all the questions
interesting the electorate. This method
has given 10 President Roosevelt some
Of his most able and reliable supporters.
notably Senators Nelson and Clapp, and
others from adjoining states. It is the
method that has given, and will continue
TO give the south its great power and
prominence in the senate.
Beyond this. It will be taken by thought
ful men as a sad commentary on the
gratitude Of the people " a man who has
devoted long life Of active effort to their
particular and cherished ideas should now.

feated for an office he Is eminently fitted

SPIRIT OF GOD AND WILL POWER
These Are Necessary 10 Accomplish
Work. SnNa Rev. Mr.. BuRnhy.

These Are Necessary 10 Accomplish
work, Says Rev. Mr.. BuEsby.
1T requires only the spirit OF God and
the determination to do, TO accomplish
anything in this world" said Rev. w S.
Bugsbey at Plymouth Congregational
church Sunday morning. Nowhere is this
more manifest than in the story OF Gideon
in the sixth chapter Of Judges. II is i'm
possible for us to conceive the real con-
ditions that surrounded Gideon and the
Israelites, beset as they were by the
Midianites, host of ungovernable wan
derers OF the deserts with whom there was
no government social order nor religious
thought. The Mdianites were simply a
horde OF marauding robbers of incalculable
numbers whose only vocation was to steal
and plumber. Gideon pleaded with God to
save his people from these plunderers as
he had saved the fathers OF Israel Then
God babe Gideon TO go in his strength
against them a man OF might and as
man Of God and he would prevail over
them. Tho spirit Of Jehovah clothed him
self with Gideon. and Israel was delivered
and the Midianites overwhelmed. The Lord
possessed Himself OF hero OF Gideon. lie
waited until He could find the man. Thus
1t is in all things for the overcoming OF
the hosts Of sin. Through you must the
work of God be made manifest Talk to
men Of Christ and seek TO save them, and
through the grace OF God, and through His
grace alone, can YOU accomplish the sal
walton OF souls. Go out and do Gods bid
ding. He is with you in all good under
takings He has asked of all men Go and
do this thing for me-"
Rev Mr. Bugsbey Is an Illinois man and
has preached here the last two Sundays
II is understood he has not been called
to the pulpit left by Rev. Mr.. Folsom.
