National Convention Representation.

The revised delegate apportionment plan
which has been adopted for the next republican
convention provides a ratio of representation
that Is elastic and changeable. While It gives
each congressional district one delegate, It makes
the right to q second delegate depend upon the
number of votes cast for the party candidate at
the preceding election, and the fact that the new
plan makes no change in the number OF dele
gates to be chosen for Nebraska is due solely to
the polling Of sufficient republican votes in our
six congressional districts to entltle each dis.
trict TO two delegates. So far as We know the
democrats will have the same apportionment
rule as heretofore and the progressives, IL they
hold convention. which Is extremely doubtful.
will do likewise for neither OF these two parties
has made any move toward convention reform.
Notifications already made. or likely TO be
made. in the usual plan OF apportionment calls
attention to the fact that the provision Of the
Nebraska primary law governing the choice OF
convention delegates and alternates does not tit
In with the reform idea OF representation pro-
portioned to vote. Our law requires in so many
words that each political party shall choose four
delegates-at-large, with the remainder OF the
quota Of delegates equally divided" between the
several congressional districts. Our law there
FORE undertakes TO fix the distribution within
the state OF the national convention delegates
allotted TO Nebraska by each OF the political
parties. Now. there is no certainty whatever that
our congressional districts will for all future
time have the same delegate representation as
every other district. In word, II one or more of
our Nebraska districts we're rightfully limited to
only one delegate 10 a national convention.
either our state law would have to be violated or
the convention call would have TO be ignored.
The conclusion We must draw is that our
primary law. far as il relates 10 national
vention representation. will sooner or later re-
quire recasting, or, better yet. the whole subject
OF presidential nominations will have to be taken
over by congress aud all conflicting state rules

Defeat Of the Literaov Test.

Although the presidents veto Of the literacy
test immigration bill has been sustained by a
very close margin the country is to be con-
graduated on having this indefensible and un-
American measure scotched. The bill would
have laid an embargo upon admission to our
gates for foreign born men and woman ambitious
TO better their condition in life with no fault
but the misfortune OF having been deprived Of a
chance for schooling in their native land and
would have reversed the policy OF the republic,
since its foundation in holding out an asylum
TO the oppressed and prosecuted OF despotc
countries
The sponsors OF the literacy test have al
ready announced they will continue their efforts,
and will try again in the next congress to write
IL on the statute books. veto or no veto. We
have doubt they will omit nothing to make
the goal but we apprehend that the literacy
test part Of the measure has been put to sleep
for at least four years. The reasons given by
President Wilson for returning the bill without
his signature will hold good during the re-
mainder OF his term, and another veto will be
harder to override in the next house. where the
democratic majority is to be much smaller.
The commendable features OF the bill. OF
which there are many. particularly those
relating to the administration Of the immigra-
ton bureau, could easily have been enacted
separately in the last congress. or In this one.
but the hidden forces behind II evidently want
the llteracy test or nothing. They will now no
doubt endeavor TO inject It into the issues Of the
next presidential campaign, but we seriously
doubt whether any great national political party
will care to include in its platform a literaoy
test plank bound to antagonize and ALLEVIATE
the bulk Of our foreign-born voters and liberal
minded native born as we'll.

British Shipping

New York World: The presence in the
Irish Sea Of a powerful German subma-
rine, 800 miles by the most direct route
from its nearest base. is one Of the most
significant developments OF the war. IL
one hostile undersea boat can invade
waters that are practically British lake
and carry terror to the mouth of the
Mersey. others may be expected to fol-
low the example.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: The actual
damage done by the German craft is in
consequential Such raids can have no
appreciable effect on British commerce
The benefit TO the Germans of submarine
activities must lie wholly in their moral
effect. II the sinking Of three unimpor-
tant merchant ships shall establish a
reign OF terror among British shippers
there may be some substantial advantage.
Springfield Republican: Whether any
thing approaching a blockade could be
managed under such conditions is doubt
full, but considerable amount of damage
could be done. and the peril is not easy
TO meet. The helplessness OF the freighter
comes from its slowness; while this dan
ger lasts speed in the carrying trade will
be at a premium. In peace time twelve
knots may be an economical speed; when
there are submarines about a shipowner
would gladly spend a good deal for double
that speed.
Philadelphia Ledger: A submarine can
carry but a small number of torpedoes,
and operating as they must in seas closely
patrolled by the British and French war
ships there il no onnorftInitv for tba
utilization OF auxiliaries. The work of
the Germany submarines must therefore
be regarded in the light Of raiding opera,
tions over a limited area, and subject to
extreme difficulties. Their success is all
the more conspicuous because OF the OBJ
stacles to be overcome.

A CARD FROM FLANDERS.
Frederick Niven

TtutFlCh INlNen.
In Flanders on the Christmas morn
The trenched foemen lay,
The German and the Briton born
And 1t was Christmas day.
The red sun rose on fields accurst,
The gray fog fled away;
But neither cared to fire the first
For IL was Christmas day.
They called from each to each across
The hideous disarray
(For terrible had been their loss);
"Oh, this is Christmas day.
Their rifles all they set aside,
One impulse to obey;
Twas just the men on either side,
Just men-and Christmas day.
They dug the graves for all their dead
And over them did pray;
And Englishman and German said:
How strange a Christmas day.
Between the trenches then they met,
Shook hands, and cen did play
At games on which their hearts are set
On happy Christmas day.
Not all the emperors and kings,
Financiers, and they
Who rule us could prevent these things
For it was Christmas day.
oh, We who read this truthful rhyme
From Flanders. kneel and say
Godspeed the time when every day
Shall be as Christmas day.
