An Emergency Act

\ The presidents bill appropriating S3O, 0OO,-
600 to buy ships for an American merchant ma
rine, while perhaps not pleasing In principle TO
those who believe the government has already
occupied more territory than 1t can easily
meet the present emergency Private capital
does not see tit to make the investment and
take the risk We are confronted by a rare OPP
portunity for commercial supremacy al sea and
we must have the ships to seize advantage OF It.
Here are vessels offered at bargain prices which
the war has made a burden 10 their German
owners. liz we are to buy them the government
must provide the money
Fears are expressed in England as to re-
Suits Says the London Globe:
Danger TO our relations with the United states
might concoivaby arise IL large numbers Of German
merchantmen temporarily adopt the American flag
apart from an out-and-out sale such as now being
discussed During the war In 1870 the North German
Lloyd and other lines flew the british ensign and
changed the names. The French fleet scrupulousy
respected tho British flag and searched in vain for
German vessels At TIE end of the war the
German flag again up and the German
ownership resumed, II IL OF the utmost Importance
tor the FOREIGN offco admiralty TO see to Il that
this Transparent fraud is repeated the present
occasion.
But, as the president says our sole gain in
the purchase is to acquire a permanent mers
chant marine. The possibility of trouble is
small long as we adhere strictly to this pur-
pose. Without reason to suspect Germany OF
Interior motive, we may proceed TO acquire the
ships without which our present opportunity
might be wholly lost,

Primary Law Defeats

To point out palpable defects of the primary
law with view to curing them, remedy should
help to strengthen popular rule. not to weaken
IT, SO TO have certain weak spots uncovered by
rural district critic rather than by a city ward
worker likewise should command more un-
biased judgment This by way Of introduction
TO three counts of an indictment brought by a
Boyd county man, namely: Cd that bad faith
Is encouraged by the invitation to change party
affillation at will up TO the moment Of marking
the ballot 90 that the nominations are not
representative because OF the large number OF
stay-at-homes-muchl larger in primary than in
election go that fusion by pretense of affil-
iating with more than one political party is
fraud
The first point strikes us as particularly
well taken The repeal Of the open primary
was intended to safeguard the integrity of
party nominations, but rulings based on techni-
calities have almost nullifed that purpose
Registered voters should not be allowed to
change the record OF party utilization up to ten
days before the primary. for that simply leats
to wholesale transfer from one party to an
other to help nominate particular candidate
on the opposition ticket In the country pre-
cinots without registration Il is even easier TO
practice this deception. Voters should be re-
CURED to be registered all over the state and
no crossing Of party lines should be permitted
after the filings are in.
The second objection is only In degree
stronger against the primary than against the
regular election. stay-at-hon es decide all cleo
lions. No means has been devised for compell-
ing all men to vote who are entitled to vote
Perhaps 1t would help to drop the stay-at-home
from the registration roll and make him re-
register to qualify for the next time.
The fusion fraud has been denounced by
The Bee from its inception. No argument can
be made for II that viii appeal 10 common
sense. II Ia purely political trick TO get votes
for candidates disguised in stolen livery Pro-
hibited in most states. II survives in Nebraska
merely because the chief beneflclaries have
been prominent and powerful
