for senator two years hence, and Ne
braska Democrats are confident that
he will be elected. He viii have to
oppose Senator Burkett. who, like Mr..
Bryan, is a resident of Lincoln. Both
are excellent stumpers and Mr.. Burkett
is some ten years younger than the
COmmoner. Senator Burkett, in such
a fight, would be able to call to his aid
a great array of national speakers, for
the Republican national managers
would naturally be anxious to suppress
Mr.. Bryan.
Whether or not Mr.. Burkett would
deem it good politics to summon out
side aid in such a cause is uncertain.
Nebraskans might resent interference
with their effort to contribute their
first citizen to the nation. The State
has had a change of heart about Mr..
Bryan. 1t may not be proud of his
politics, but it is manifestly proud of
him personally and convinced that he
does the State honor.
Nebraska is altogether right in this
conclusion. New York hopes to con
tribute Elihu Root to the Senate Mere
politics and machine methods are TO be
forgotten, and Mr.. Root would 90 To
the Senate because he is so apparently
the right man for the place Abilities,
everything qualify him.
Much the same is true of Mr.. Bryan in
Nebraska. A State which has the OPP
portunity TO give to the nations serv-
ice its recognized first citizen may do
we'll to forget partisan considerations.
The nation by a huge majority would
like to see Mr. Bryan in the Senate
and would feel that Nebraska, should
she send him, had honored herself.

A Hall and a Ball.

Washington needs such an auditorium
as is required for the Inaugural Ball.
II the latter social encounter is indis-
Pensable to the procurement of such an
auditorium at last it has something of
a justification. Anyhow, it is good to
read that a group of local business
men have developed a serious PROPOSE
ton to build meeting place for large
conventions. The Capital will find it
when it comes a DO lars-and- cents bene-
fit. Incidentally, i there is to be an
Inaugural Ball, the Capital will find
the existence Of a non-governmental
hall legislative benefit in all its rela-
tiOns to Congress.

On $4,000 a Year.

katherine Clemmons, an actress,
married Howard Gould. By that change
in her station she became mistress Of a
great establishment She and her hus-
band are now litigants in an action for
separation. Meanwhile this eN-actress
seeks to obtain an allowance of $4,000
a year to maintain her station in life. -
No wonder the court has held that
the $4,000 she has been granted ~ to
this time is wholly sufficient! But it
is significant to other women TO note
for what this vast sum, this yearly
fortune, was 10 be expended.
On self, $4,000, and on Others, $780,
coo? Not at all. The whole allow
ance was for living expenses'-includ-
ing two new automobiles year at
$4,000 each, and wearing apparel at
$4,000. The total is 81 900 a month.
As this falls considerably short of
$4,000 a year, the court takes the
kindly view that the woman intended
something of the difference for travel
ing expenses and charity.
American men with abundant means
have evolved a maximum outlay for
the care of sell. None of them nave
put it higher than $4,000 a year, and
many OF them have fixed it as low as
$4,000. Above $4,000 a year." said
one of the richest men of the Missis-
sippi valley not long ago, what a man
spends on himself cuts down his ef-
fciency." Out of $4,000 another man
of great earning capability supports
his family in such style as to make his
wholly normal entertainments the ad-
miring wonder of all the newspapers
in our second largest city, gives several
thousands each year to his fellows, and
counts a balance unspent every New
Year Eve.
Womanhood, motherhood, usefulness,
character, genuine culture do not need
$4,000 a year for their upbuilding.
The girl-wife of the dollar-a-day man
has them all within her reach. Life is
a thing of the spirit. 1t is sustained
by moderate means and fettered by
profigacy. There is not a woman who
reads this newspaper VINO has not
within her grasp today an opportunity
for happiness which twice $4,000 a
year could not buy. Let US ponder
these Things in our hearts. 1t will do
us good. Perhaps that is the useful
ness of Mrs. Howard Gould.
