Wilson As a Fierce Democrat.

The most hopeful indication the
country has had that the authorities
at Washington feel some lessening of
the serious strain imposed by world at
fairs, was to be found in the presi-
dents appearance at indianapolis on
jackson day." January Sth. and his
making of speech so aggressively
partisan as doubtless to have caused
him much inward merriment. Presi-
dent Wilson. who has spent his life as
g political philosopher and an analyt-
ical student of history, is as far remov-
ed from the state of mind OF the or
binary traditional political partisan,
as is almost every other really en-
lightened and patriotic American to-
day. Our two chief parties are mere
ly rival groups OF politicians and their
hangers on. who play the game either
for the honors, or the spoils, Or the
fun there is in it. Mr.. Wilson has al
ways believed in the system of party
government, one side being at the bat
and the other out in the field. 1t hap
pens that he is now playing as cap
tain of the democratic team. He is
justly proud of the surprisingly good
record this once demoralized team has
been making, under his leadership. He
is aware that the other team was
wrecked by selfish and amazingly
stupid management. Jackson day is a
democratic party affair, and the presi-
dent has right to crack up the per-
Torrance of his own team and to ex-

.Iowa,s Suckers.

The 'fox farmers" are flooding Iowa
with their literature. One notes men
lions of such stuff coming into the
state in various papers.
Permit the suggestion that Iowa, as
usual, is being played for the sucker.
Iowa is the one state in which there
is money and with the money we
seem to have always supply OF gull
ibles. Everybody comes to Iowa to
sell something, no matter whether it
is land in the Texas Panhandle, where
it had never rained-until the land
boomers got there, or in the junsles
of tropical Central America, where
we can all get rich raising something
that everyone eats, provided we ever
get down there and get out again alive
and now they are coming from the
islands of the st. Lawrence and offer
ing us stock in their fox farms.
Now it often happens that some fox
farms proved bonanzas, returning
enormous profits. Fox farming is car
ried on for the furs OF the animals and
the furs are valuable, and one who has
lot of foxes rearing young is I'M
doubtedly in luck. s 's

LEGISLATURE HAS HARD TASK

THE task of wisely shifting and
perfecting the measures presented to
the General Assembly requires de-
gree of skill and intelligence that is
not exceeded in any other department
of the government" says Professor
BENZ. F. Shambaugh, in paper on
by the State Historical Society of
Iowa. "And yet the official register
of this State shows that comparative
ly few members OF the legislature
have had training or the advantage
OF years of experience in the business
of making laws. Furthermore, the
General Assembly of Iowa meets but
once in two years for session of
about ninety or one hundred days;
and there is nothing in the law or
in the salaries provided which sug
gests that our legislators are eX-
pected to devote much time to the
study of the problems OF legislation
when the legislature is not in session.
Evidently under existing conditions
there is no department of govern
ment which is in greater need OF ex-
pert assistance than the legislature
when it undertakes to make laws
or the voters when, operating under
the initiative and referendum, they
assume the function OF legislating."

NATIONAL CONVENTION
REPRESENTATiO

The revised delegate apportionment
plan which has been adopted for the
next republican convention provides
ratio of representation that is elastic
and changeable. While it gives each
congressional district one delegate, it
makes the right to second delegate
depend upon the number of votes cast
for the party candidate at the pre-
ceding election, and the fact that the
new plan makes no change in the
number Of delegates to be chosen for
Nebraska is due solely to the polling
of sufficient republican votes in our
six congressional districts to entitle
each district to two delegates. So far
as we know the democrats will have
the same apportionment rule as here
tofore, and the progressives, if they
hold convention, which is extreme
~ 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 APP
portionment calls attention to !, the
fact that the provision of the Neb-
raska primary law governing the
choice of convention delegates and
alternatives does not fit in with the
reform idea OF representation pro-
portioned to vote Our law requires
III 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 therefore, undertakes TO fix
the distribution within the state Of
the national convention delegates al
lotted to Nebraska by each of the
political parties Now, there is no
certainty whatever that our congress
sional districts will for all future time
have the same delegate representation
as every other district. In word,
if one or more OF our Nebraska dis
tricts were rightfully limited to only
one delegate to 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
thar our primary law, SO far as it re-
lates to national convention represen-
tation, will sooner or later require re-
casting, or, better yet, the whole sub
ject of presidential nominations will
have to be taken over by congress and
all conflicting state rules and regu-
lations subordinated to national legis-
lation.- Omaha Bee.

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM

The Thirty-fifth General Assem-
bly, of Iowa in 1918 passed an amend
ment to the State Constitution pro-
viding for the initiative and refer
endum. If this amendment is a.
dopted in exactly the same form by
the General Assembly now in session
and is ratified by majority OF the
voters of the State, the people of
Iowa will have the power to initiate
and adopt laws without the action OF
the legislature. This does not mean
that the legislature will be abolished
but simply that there will be an ad
ditional process Of law-making-the
process OF. direct legislation, as it is
called-whereby the people moy
adopt or reject laws if the legislature
fails to carry out their wishes.
AS is shown by Mr.. Jacob Van der
Zee in paper on Direct Legisla-
ton in Iowa." published by the State
Historical Society, the initiative and
referendum are not new and untried
measures. Beginning with South
Dakota in 1898 the initiative and
referendum have been put into oper-
alton in fifteen or more states of the
Union; while direct legislation has
long prevailed in Switzerland. Fur
thermore, in Iowa many important
questions Of administration have long
been submitted to vote OF the people
in school districts, townships, counties
and cities and towns.

FIRST STEAMBOAT ON
UPPER MISSISSIPPI

The month of May in the year
1928 was an important month in the
history OF navigation on the upper
Mississippi River. The eastern Iowa
wilderness, hitherto apparently ac'
cesible only to canoes and other
light water craft on account OF chan
mel distractions in the Mississippi
known as the Des Moines Rapids,
was now reached and passed for the
first time by steamboat, the Vir-
ginia,' vessel one hundred and
eighteen feet long and twenty-five
feet WIDE" says Mr.. Jacob Van der
Zee in the January number Of THE
Iowa Journal History and Politics.,
published by the State Historical
Society of Iowa. u. c. Beltrami,
former judge in the kingdom OF Italy
during the years 1S05-1S14, was the
passenger who recorded the feat OF
the Virginia as an enterprise OF the
boldest, OF ting most extraordinary
nature for no steamboat had ever
before made a voyage as far north
as the Falls of St. Anthony in the
Minnesota country"

THE SENATE REVOLT.

| New York Tribune: The revolt
which checked the railroading through
the senate of an ill-considered ship
purchase bill, putting unguarded and
dangerous authority into the hands
lacies on which the president has ect
ed. He assumed that there was a party
mandate behind the government OWL
ership scheme. He also assumed that
there was popular mandate behind
| it. AS matter of fact, the democratic
party has never advocated anything re-
motely resembling government owner
ship and operation OF deep sea mer-
chant marine. Except for the accident
that for time it looked as if the cot
ton growers of the south might find
their shipping facilities to Europe cut
off, the emergency ship purchase
scheme would probably never have
been dreamed OF in administration
circles at Washington. The south's
interest in it has been the only sub
stantial influence behind it and the
only mandate for it which by any
stretch of the imagination could be de-
scribed as democratic But the south's
interest in the emergency, scheme sub
sided when the emergency passed.
The democratic senator who moved to
recommit the bill on Monday, Mr..
Clarke, comes from Arkansas,a cotton
state. OF the democrats voting with
him Mr.. Vardaman, Mr.. Bankhead and
Mr.. Hardwick also come from cotton
states. Only two of the seven insur-
gents, MIR. O'Gorman and Mr.. Hitch
cock, are northerners.
The presidents claim that the coun-
try at large favors governmental
venture into ocean transportation is
even more flimsy. There is no popu-
lar demand for the passage; of the ship
purchase bill. On the contrary. the
moral support of public opinion is all
behind the demand of the minority in
the senate that this risky measure
be held up until its consequences are
fully discussed and generally under
stood. If the opposition in the senate
was unreasonable or purely factional
the democratic instruction OF Monday |
would never have been possible.
If the bill is recommitted for amend
ment its chances of passage at this
session will be slight. The president
and Mr. McAdoo have failed to make
out their case. The opposition has
been heartened by partial success
and would be foolish to yield now
that the advocates OF the bill have
had to acknowledge partial defeat.
Mr.. Wilson used to be shrewd judge |
of public opinion. But lately his
reading of the signs Of the times has
been very poor. On no other measure
has he gone SO far and so obstinately |
wrong as on the ship purchase bill.
He is alone to blame if his party balks
at following him and the public has
begun to distrust and discount his
leadership.
