From what can see." he said, "the

very sound, and see nothing that
would indicate a serious recession in

In business but 1t will not be severe.
It is my opinion that slight let-up in

4 sPoILT EXPERIMENT.

1t is greatly to be regretted that an
adjustment has been made of the DIFF
ficulties besetting the good people of
Nebraska City because Of the failure of
all the different candidates for munich
pal offices to file their names in time to
get ON the official ballot.
When it was discovered that there
were no legal filings the town clerk de-
termined to put out a blank official bal
lot on which every voter would be re-
quired to write in the name of every
candidate for whom he wished to be re-
corded for each Office to be filled. This
would have given a city election without
any of the mechanical devices TO facili-
tate the selection of any particular set
of candidates. 1t would have provided
an experiment in what has often been
pictured as the ideal election--an cleo
ton in which every participant would
have to know for whom he wished to
vote and be able to write the name
legibly to Indicate his choice. Under
such circumstances, it is supposed that
the votes would be cast for the men
rather than for the party which named
them and complete nonpartisanship in
augurated.
The authorities Of Nebraska City,
however, seem to have gotten together
by consent and tolerance to overlook
the technical defect which ruled out the
candidates filings and win supply a bal
lot as of old, unless some one objects
seriously enough to ask for court inter
ference. This being the case, we will
have to wait awhile longer for a prae-
teal demonstration of an election with
out a printed ballot

FOR fNDUsTRIAL PEACE.

President Roosevelt's plan for the es-
adjustment of a commission for the
promotion OF industrial peace is taking
tangible form. 1t had it's inception in
the award to the president Of the Nobel
peace prize OF $4,000 for his services
in ending the Russo-Jap war. At his
request, congress passed a law author
izing the establishment of the perms-
nent industrial peace commission and
the president turned over to that body
the $4,000 to be used as the nucleus
of a fund for furthering the work. The
first meeting Of the trustees has been
held and tentative plans for future
work discussed. Chief Justice Fuller
Of the supreme court Of the United
States has been elected president, for
mer Mayor Seth Low of New York,
vice president, and John Mitchell of
the Miners union secretary. Those Sc
lected TO be members OF the industrial
peace committee" OF nine. required by
the congressional act, are:
on the part OF the public; Archbishop
ireland. Marcus n. Marks Of New York
and Ralph NJ. Easley OF New York
On the part OF employers; p. II. Gary,

rHE RouMANlAN RIOTS.

Americans must be interested In the
principles involved in the riots that are
threatening the life of the Roumanisn
government, however Indifferent they
may be to the details of the slaughter
incident to these disturbances. The dis
order had its origin in the refusal of
the government to keep its pledges of
religious liberty to it's subjects and In
the ownership of nearly all of the lands
of the country by great syndicates of
absentee landlords. Both of these
abuses are repugnant to American ideals
and forms of government and to that
extent American sympathy is i'll with
held from the peasants who, armed with
axes and cudgels, are defying the mill
tary forces OF the country.
The Roumanian government has VIC
lated its obligations to the treaty of
Berlin, in 1878, in which it solemnly
agreed to grant religious freedom to all
its subjects Laws have been passed
and enforced by use Of the military
which were in effect anti-Semitlc dec
larations. Jews have been prohibited
by law from carrying on any trade ex-
cept by special authorization Of the
Parliament. They are not allowed TO
be peddlers, pharmacists, dealers in to-
bacco, railway employees, customs agents
or physicians in public service. The re-
suit has been the practical impoverlsh-
ment Of the 25OOOO Jews OF the country,
who are compelled to pay taxes for the
support of schools and other Institutions
from which their children are barred
In addition to this unjust government,
the control of the lands is I'm the hands
of the alleged nobility and absentee
landlords who draw support from the
soil without leaving any reward for the
farmers, who constitute more than so
per cent OF the population.
The authorities at Washington have
been asked 10 take some step looking TO
the ameiioration of the condition Of the
Roumanian peasants. In 1902, Mr. Hay,
then secretary Of state, addressed

THE PRfNARY ELECTION law.


The primary election law just en-
acted by the Nebraska legislature, while
by no means perfect in all its details,
will furnish the means for a practical
trial Of the statewide primary that
should prove to what extent this reform
will accomplish the object aimed at
namely, to bring the nomination Of
candidates for Office as close TO the peo-
pie as possible.
The new law provides for a uniform
primary for all political parties at the
same time and places, conducted by
regular election officers. 1t pro-
vides for straight plurality nomina-
tions. 1t provides for an official
ballot made up of names filed
either by petition or by declaration
of the candidates themselves with an
extremely moderate filing fee 1t pro-
vides for an alphabetical ballot, except
possibly IN Douglas county, and. seems
to leave uncertain the form Of the bal
lot here, 1t provides for a declaration
of party affiliation as distinguished
from the so-called wide-open primary.
The law permits fusion by the nomina-
than one party ticket Its weakest
provisions are those relating to party
organization, which seems to have been
made entirely appointive, thus depriv-
ing the voter of any direct voice in the
party management. The penalty clauses
are comprehensive and should go far 20
prevent fraud and trickery in the vot-
ing and in the count
The most notable change made in
the law in legislative transit was its
transformation from a closed primary
to wide open primary and the subse-
quent restoration Of the closed primary
feature. The minority members ap-
parently wanted the open primary with
out disclosure of party affiliation for
the purpose Of protecting them in the
process of fusion and preventing a dis
play Of weakness on the part of demo-
Gratis in populst districts and popu-
lists in democratic districts. The closed
primary, however has the endorsement
of Colonel Bryan, who is the demo-
cratic fountain head, and no democrat
therefore. can find serious fault with IT,.
The closed primary is absolutely neces-
sary to insure the integrity of party
nominations, so that republican tickets
shall be made up by republicans, demo-
cratic tickets by democrats and popu-
list tickets by popullsts.
It is not to be expected that the new
primary law viii not disclose objec-
| tionable features, but the thing to do is
to put It in force in good faith and
strengthen it's weak spots later.

coNsp14R sERvICE REFoBm.

The administration at Washington has
delivered another body blow at the po-
litlcal spoils system by adopting a plan
Of selecting American consuls by com
petitive examinations. The result of the
first examination furnished abundant
proof of the need of radical reform in
this branch of the service. With twenty
vacancies in the service, 100 applicants
presented themselves for examination.
Preliminary investigation reduced the
list of availables to twenty, and only ten
Of these passed the required examina-
ton. Another examination will be held
in July.
The questions presented to the APP
plicants were all practical, dealing with
the commerce, Industries and resources
of the United States, modern history,
international and commercial law, geog.
raphy and arithmetic. knowledge OF
such subjects, in the opinion Of the ad-
ministration, is essential to successful
consular work. The positions pay $1,000
per annum and promotion promises to
be rapid, as there is a constant and in
creasing demand for better men in the
American Consular service.
This step of putting the American
consular and diplomatic service on a
sound basis has been too long delayed.
The custom has been to use the consular
positions as patronage for members of
congress, for the reward of the polit-
lcally faithful, and the result has been
disastrous, so far as our competition
with foreign trained men in the consular
field has been concerned. The Amer
lean consul is simply the commercial
agent, the drummer, of American indus
tries, and this work has been left in the
hands of politicians who have had no
sense of the importance of their posi-
tons, but have looked upon the con-
sular service as a means of buying, re-
tanning or rewarding supporters. Ger
many and Great Britain make the great.
est commercial use of their consuls. The
men consider commercial experience as
an essential part Of their training and
they have had little difficulty in achiev-
ing success in securing foreign trade in
competition with the political consuls
selected by the United States.
Plans for reform in the service have
been considered by congress for years
without tangible results, the senators
and representatives refusing to enthuse
over any system that meant loss of
patronage to them. The adoption of the
reform system is due to the demands Of
American manufacturers and exporters
that the consular service be equipped
as an aid to the American plan for
achieving the commercial and industrial
supremacy Of the world. Under the new
system, young men have the assurance
of permanency as an incentive for
proper training for the service, so long
as consular positions are not to be used
as payments for political debts. The
new system doubtless will be appreci-
ated and approved by the manufac.
turers and business interests of the
country, but 1t is going to be rough on
the politicians.

Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially shun the use of alcoholic
medicines which, from their stimulat-

for time, to do good, but which, from
the inevitable effects OF the alcohol in
shrinking up the red corpuscles Of the

harm in the long run. Besides they
beget a craving for stimulants which is
most deplorable. "Favorite Prescrip-
