Primary Pledge Menaoed.

Reports from California indicate a
movement to thwart the will Of the
people as expressed In the primaries
last August in the choice Of A. G.
spalding for United States senator
His nearest competitor in the race,
John d. Works Of Los Angeles, and
his friends, are said to be quietly plan
ming to override the primary pledge
and beat Mr.. Spalding in the legisla-
ture.
Regulating pledges, political or
otherwise, is not in itself most hon
orable thing to do. But it is an open
question as to how much criticism
may justly be offered Of a reputation
in the case Of one OF these primary
pledges. Sooner or later the practice
itself must be broken up and the first
step toward that end probably could
be TO easier taken than through just
such a movement.
The proposition is one that should
be considered in the broadcast sense
and not on any personal grounds. The
constitution Of the United States pre-
scribes how we shall elect our United
States senators. 1t simply says they
shall be chosen by the legislatures. It
does not delegate to the people the
right to make any part of the choice,
except as the people speak through
their legislators whom they have
elected by direct ballot This thing OF
compelling candidates for the iogisla-
ture to pledge themselves before cleo
ton to vote for the candidate for the
senate receiving the highest number
OF votes in the primary or general cleo
ton is a recent device that contravenes
the organic law. 1t may be good
way to choose senators. The popular
election by direct vote may be still a
better way, but the point is the federal
constitution does not prescribe either
way, and either way, therefore, is not
compatible with the only law that has
anything to say on the subject.
In the California case the friends of
him who received the highest popular
vote are charging the other fellows
with political brigandage" in their
attempt to circumvent the popular ma
iority. But when it comes to that,
what are they doing but insisting that
the constitution shall be obeyed and
the senator shall be elected oy legal
process? Indeed, who is the political
brigand. the man who attempts to set
aside the organic law of the land, or
the one who insists that it shall not
be set aside?
But there, of course, comes In that
primary pledge" 1t is regarded as
bad craftsmanship to go back on an
agreement and Mr.. Spalding was
sport before he was politician, but
the constitution of the United States
was not framed primarily to govern
the amenities between sports. When
it comes to a mere matter of law, isn't
it an old principle that bad pledge
broken is better than If carried out?

COnfedeFacy of Fraud Excluded from
the Mail.
Baltimore American
One thing stands out strikingly in the re-
markable story Of wholesale swlndling
that has come to light through the efforts
of Secretary Hitchcock, and the men under
him. 1t is the fact that big rascals thrive
on little fools That a great confederacy Of
fraud should be concocted and send out its
scoop nets through the United States and
gather in the guileless in multimilllons is
a curious commentary upon the caustic re-
mark used by Carlyle with reference to
the people of his own country-that they
we're mostly fools.
The same instincts OF the weak and iF-
norant have been played upon that are al
ways played upon by men who seek wealth
by ingenious fraud. Here Is a chain Of
bogus corporations linked together and
employing the services Of persons to assist
them in their fraud who were full of guilty
knowledge Of the real character OF the
concerns or who having such knowledge,
became so involved in the operations as
to make II hard for them to get out
The multitude OF investors in the en-
graved paper of the bogus crew represent
the host of weak fools who always come
to Hight whenever there Is bursting OF the
inflated bubbles The big rascals plan the
harvest and the little fools do the sowing.
The first have the situation entirely in
hand; the others have as their asset their
credulity. Some way they have the suck
ers' dream in which their small funds
are made to create vast revenues. The get
rich fever is in their blood, and they remain
awake at nights to count their prospective
gains. 90, .F ,,..
Any Kind Of a proposition serves to tell
on those who, lacking the capability Of
earning money by application or being for
tunate in the possession of easy wealth.
seek to get ahead of their bank account
by the alchemy Of investments, the real
nature of which they do not know. The only
protection the United States can offer Is
to close the mails to such concerns after
their real nature has been made known.
In the meantime the mischief is done, and
the easy marks have been separated
from their money
Now that the Postoffice department has
gotten together upon the trail OF the ras-
Gals and rounded them up IT is to be hoped
that 1t viii not expend its energies upon
the minor agents and employees, but land
the leading Tascals Of the aggregation IN
jail. Yet all the government can do to pub
fish the big rascals will not avail to more
than check the depredations, for as long
as men are born in folly the shrewd and
interruptions will make each their prey.

Activities of American Dollars in
British Politics.
Chicago American.
Distressfully sparring for time in their
present contest with the Lloyd George COM
blnation, the English lords have recently
Tended by bitter illusions to vulgar Amer
lean dollars in British politics'-meaning
the contributions Of Irish Americans to the
home rule cause.
To which Lloyd-George counters with
sharp rejOlnder that many a noble house
Is tottering to It's fall which had its foun-
dations underpinnsd by American money
meaning American money which crossed
the water by way OF marriage settlements.
Whereupon the duke Of Marlborough,
feeling himself especially slammed, retorts
that IT is eowardly to attack the lords
through their ladiesr
The noble dukes defense sounds lofty
but It is evasive. The liberals are not
attacking titled English ladies OF American
origin, but the soleoism OF noble husbands
using American dollars to boost a Tory
reactionl
And the point seems to be a good one.
When Dickens character. Lavvy wilfer
pronounced the word "psttiooat" IN the
presence Of company and was sharply re-
bulred by her mother. Lavvy's Admlrer
Mr.. George Sampson. rushed to Lavvy S
defense by saying: After an, ma'am, we
know II is there!"
After ALL We know that the American
marriage dollars are there-hard at work
! to shore up the obsolete House Of Lords
and between such dollars, employed In such
a cause. and the unselfish contributions
of Irish-Americans made to establish Amer
lean ideas in their native land. there Is no
| room for doubtful discussion.

He who tooteth not his own horn,
the same shall not be footed" is a
maxim pregnant with wisdom which
is Just coming to be understood by
the manufacturers of Omaha. For
many years they have been content to
slip along on gum shoes or rubber
tires, making as little noise as posi-
BILE for fear, perhaps, OF disturbing the
community. Now and again the news
papers have undertaken TO give pub
licity to the fact that certain lines of
manufacturing prospered extensively
in Omaha, but these efforts have been
to a large extent thwarted by the re-
luctanoe of the manufacturers them
selves, who have preferred to conduct
their business quietly, II not secretly.
Sentiments expressed at the get-to-
gether dinner on Tuesday evening in

the spirit of the dream in this regard
and that the Omaha factories are be-
ginning to make noise in the
world. II the men who are at the
head Of the various manufacturing en-
terprises now being carried on in
Omaha will only follow up the sugges-
lions of some of the speakers at that
banquet, they will soon find that the
