Omen mr. C1osAd

We would like to see a primary law en-
acted whereby a man could vote to nomi-
nate whomsoever he desired, no matter
what party he belongs to.-Albion Argus.
This question Of IN open or closed
primary was up when the Nebraska
primary law was enacted two years
ago and the closed primary was de-
cided on by the legislature as much
by the votes of the democratic mem
bers as OF the republican members.
At that time one of the authorities
cited in favor of the closed primary
was William J. Bryan, who. in the is
sue of his Commoner of February %,
1907, discussing the direct primary,
said:
The Commoner prefers the plan which
compels the voter to announce his party
affiliations; for without this the majority
party may make the nominations for the
minority party as well.
Reinforcing its position in favor of
the closed primary. The Bee added
that "the wide-open primary makes it
possible not only for the majority
party to make the nominations for the
minority party, but also for the minor
ity party, under certain conditions, to
make the nominations for the major
ity party as WE'LL" and continued:
The sentimental plea for the independent
voter is well grounded for the exercise of
his sovereign right Of suffrage at the cleo
ton, but 1t has no application to a prt-
mary election to choose the candidates of
the different parties. Every qualified citizen
has a right to vote at an election. but no
one has any right 10 participate in the
nomination Of a party candidate. except as
he may be a member of that party, and no
one should object to the enforcement Of any
reasonable test 20 determine whether or
not membership in the party has been prop
erly acquired.
The wide-open primary has not
worked successfully In practice any
where and nothing would go so far to
make nominations by direct vote obi
GUS and eventually to uproot the direct
primary altogether as to change ouI
law from a closed primary to a wide
open primary.

The hen admirers grow. Constant is their
increase. The first official act Of Ne
braska's new labor commissioner was a
formal appreciation of this pillar OF society.
According to Mr.. Maupin, this foul
brought SIS, COO 900 worth of eggs to market
in Nebraska last year. The COMMISSIONS
is u%nprepared to estimtee the value of her
offspring in the way of fried chicken. She
laid 100, OOO, 900 eggs in 1908. Placed end
to end these eggs would reach around the
earth and overlap 1900 miles. They would
make an egg walk three feet wide reaching
from Omaha to Ogden. With ham they
would furnish breakfast for 1000 900 peo-
pie and make an omlette containing 625,O0O
c"blc feet. The hen was worth more to
Nebraska than the boosted wheat crop of
326, 900. 900; almost twice as much as the oat
crop of sl6,0OO. coo; twenty times as much
as the barley crop; twenty times as much
as the rye crop, and one-third as much as
the much-talked-of crop of corn. The com
missioner believes Nebraska needs another
seal. Is he not right in thinking that upon
that seal no figure so well demands rec
ognition as the ever-patient. busy, and
unpretentious hen?
