Democrats Abandon Presidential Primary.

After protracted cogitating on the part OF
the democratic leaders the presidential primary,
as urged in President Wilson's last annual mes
sage TO congress, is to be dropped out OF the
party program on the score Of doubtful consti-
nationality. The conclusion reached is that in
asmuch as the choice of presidential electors,
and the manner OF their selection, devolves
solely upon the several states, lack of authority
in congress over the electors leaves congress still
less shadow OF authority over the selection OF
delegates TO national conventions whose nomina-
lions are merely advisory upon the electors
chosen later
II goes without saying that this has been
obvious all the time, and that even the authority
OF the states TO establish control over delegates
TO national party conventions has been seriously
questioned. A few states have provided for d.
rect primary choice OF convention delegates, and
also for presidential preference votes in the
ture of Instructions. but several notable exam
pies attest, no compelling force lies anywhere to
make certain their execution. Even without
the direct primary, state delegations had been
subject to instruction for favored presidential
candidates, with no difference in the moral obi
cation, except possibly in degree.
or course, we could nominate and elect our
presidents by direct vote by first changing the
machinery of our presidential elections as pre-.
seribed in the constitution but that is too re-
mote for any present purpose We may well
therefore, accept the situation that the next
president, and probably several after him, will
be nominated and elected in the same manner
as have been all our presidents since Andrew
jackson, namely. by national nominating con-
vention and through the agency Of the electoral
college.

Tn. Hmm. Garden Plnt

The organized promotion OF backyard gar
dening in omaha at present is most timely. The
possibilities of the backyard as a factor in the
cost Of living are little understood by the people.
and deserve exploitation. A very small patch
OF ground when properly attended TO- will pro.
duce enough to supply the needs Of a family.
We have in Omaha enough OF vacant and unused
ground to more than support the citys entire
population we're this land rightly cultivated, and
ordinary prudence in management would suggest
that some at least Of these idle be utilized
Aside from the economic value of the home
gardening plan, IL has another advantage; IL
provides a healthy occupation for hours that are
otherwise wasted, and those engaged in the work
are benefited in this way beyond a money value.
The work is not drudgery. but holds the supreme
interest that comes with productive effort prop
erly applied. The pleasure of eating green stuff
from ones own garden patch is great, but the
Joy of assisting nature to create something OF
real use is even greater
II is not only for the boys and girls that the
backyard garden is designed; the grownups have
their share in Il. And on the vacant lots a crop
OF vegetables is far more to be desired than a
crop OF weeds. The home garden movement
will pay big dividends to the community. II only
tentatively pursued.

Vice president shows BAD Taste,

vice President Marshall showed very bad
taste by injecting partisan politics into his
speech at the formal opening exercises of the
Panama-Pacific exposition. The incident merely
serves to mark the length to which the demo-
Gratis are willing to go in their endeavor to dis
credit a republican, administration. Mr.. Mar
shall also showed poor tactical Judgment In his
reference to the affair between the United states
and Colombia.
So weak is the democratic position on this
question that the Wilson administration did not
dare to press the Bryan treaty at the last con-
gress. Mr.. Bryan's proposal that this country
give to Colombia s25.OeO,OOO and an apology
for what the country once sold to as for $lO,-
600 GOO shows only willingness 90 spend mil
lions for the purpose OF criticising Roosevelt,
and the leaders OF the democratic party did not
dare to press Il to an issue.
Regrets voiced at Washington and San
Francisco by spokesman for the present national
administration over the Colombian iRcideRt are
not only meanly partisan. but are also pFePoS
teFoasly hypoeritieal.
