Harrobing For Hughes

Ord Quiz: A writer in The Omaha Bee says:
For curiositys sake It would be interesting to
see how Charles E. Hughes would stand the test
as president of the United States" There are
many better reasons than that for electng Mr..
Hughes president but il there were no other, that
would be sufficient to justify taking chance on
change Of Administrations
Harrington Herald: Nebraska may now plume
herself upon the fact that she contributed her
I. share toward the nomination OF Chief Justice
Hughes for president Of the United States
Tekamah Herald: We believe that Nebraska
will be for Hughes by 10000 or more majority.
Bloomington Adyocate II is very comforting
to the $1,000 republicans in Nebraska that wrote
the name Of Hughes on the ballot, that he has
been chosen as the man to lead the party to VIC
tory this fall. There is no doubt but what the
expression OF the 5000 voters in the state went
long ways in showing how strong the Hughes
sentiment was in the western and central states.
Fremont Tribune: The probabilities are that
Candidate Hughes win make campaign tour,
md Il may well be hoped ne will do so. Nebraska
had one touch of the Hughes presence that lin
0ered. When he came 70 the state in 1908 he
made deep impression His logic and his
fatile speech were most fascinating and convinc-
im9. He will be able to arouse the country to 4
high pitch. Il be engages ii = speaking tour. The
people have become used TO this method, intro
4uced By Mr.. Bryan and they expect the candi-
11tes tceome around and see them. and be seen

Spelling the Sport Game.

When 10000 or more people pay good money
to see something held out to them as the athletic
event of the century" feelings of disgust and re-
sentiment are natural when the wonderful event
turns out to be tedious posing exhibition not
even good fodder" for the movies. Whose fault
it is that "the Fourth of July wrestling match
between the Peerless Joe Stecher and Ed (Strang-
ler) Lewis, the pride of Kentucky, Wisconsin,
Iowa and few other baiwicks" turned out to
be such ptiful farce it is not up to US to say.
The shame of it is the Misrepresentation from
which Omaha in particular, and legitimate sports
in general, are made to suffer. The same publicity
advance agent, just quoted, after reciting the
names of all the worlds great wrestling lumin-
aries gave us this dazzling pen picture:
And yet, even they never gave US battle
which for nerve and verve, for wild, tremen-
dous thrills and heart-thumping excitement,
could hold candle to what the peerless boy
in overalls from our own little city of Dodge
and Ed (Strangler) Lewis, the lumberjack
Colossus from Wisconsin are going to show US
on July 4.
Are they not the worlds two athletic
exemplars; two men absolutely physically per-
feet? Well, then, is there any mystery why you
should hold your breath and stare? Is it any
wise dumfoundng that the two miracle men,
Stccher and Lewis, who are to struggle to
finish, have aroused the curiosity OF the world!
Let anyone who wasted irrecoverable time on
the glorious Fourth in 'watchful waiting con-
trast this with the reality.
The bane Of professional sports is the money
prize. 1t is most insidious when the contestants
are to divide bulging pot regardless Of whether
they win or lose or whether they put up an on
the-square match or not The only question is
how often can they get away with it.

c.rran..,s conciliatory Reply.

Senior Carranza has profted by the time he has
taken to reflect and deliberate on the character Of
his reply TO the last two notes from Washington.
At any rate be appreciates the full beauty Of the
proverb Of Solomon, "A soft answer turneth away
wrath" In his note, the first chief points out q
way along which peace between his people and
the United States may eventually be achieved.
Mexican leaders seem to have finally realized the
gravity Of the situation, and appear not only
willing but even eager to set about to re-estabsh
cordial relations with our people
Carranza's promises sound fair, and his re-
quests are not unreasonable but the point is how
far can he berelied upon to fulfill any obligation
he may assume. Senior Carranza need not be
chagrincd to find reluctance on part of Ameri-
cans to take his pledges at face value. However,
his proposals will get full consideration, and if
his acts square up anywhere near to his words,
he will find the United States willing to meet him
half way at least.

TIPS ON HOME TOPICS.

Washington Post: Our idea Of a proper
news censorship Is combination that will
render the present kind of news emanating
from the border wholly obsolete.
Chicago Herald: The new revenue bill
gives the country a glimpse Of the bill for
preparedness. Now the country wants to
see few evidences Of preparedness itself
Boston Transcript: II It be true. a. re-
ported, that Villa has lost one Of his legs,
he has a splendid chance to invest $40 in
cork peg and become the Santa Ana of
modern Mexico.
Boston Transcript: The call to arms
found some men evading military service on
the plea that they were married. and others
rushing into matrimony after they had en-
listed. and yet magazine writer's think that
human nature Is q simple little thing.
Louisville Courier-Journal; To insure
health, says a physician. drink eight glasses
Of water each day. There are persons who
insure theirs with a health insurance COM
pany, telling the medical examiner they
drink nothing but water, and let it go at
that.
Indianapolis News: It looks as If the
gasoline demand were also good In Texas
where the Producers Oil company has de-
clared a cash dividend Of 200 per cent. This
ought to help the stockholders quite a bit to
undergo the demands of unparalleled pros
perity.
Philadelphia Ledger: Why not imprison
the American refugees who are streaming
in from Mexicoi They are guilty as charged
by the democratic leaders of putting the adj
ministration in hole because it has been
asked to protect them. Such treason to a

Fallsey Of STATE sovereignty.

Our democratic brethren look with consterna-
ton on any move that in the slightest degree
trenches upon their sacred dogma Of the sover-
eighty Of the state, except, Of course, where It
makes an opening into the federal treasury They
hesitate to concede any point in government to
the control Of the United States, for fear that by
so doing, the state rights may be impaired The
fallacy Of this position has been many times ex-
posed. but experience does not carry conviction
to the democratic breast. States rights, in the
last analysis, rest on no broader foundation than
individual rights. Matters peculiar and exclusive
TO the state may we'll be left there, but on all
points wherein the general welfare is involved,
consideration must be general and not special.
I This rule applies to individuals to communities
within the states, and must apply to the states
themselves. Commerce and industry have long
since outgrown state or regional lines and are
no longer restricted by arbitrarily drawn bounda-
ries. To continue conditions as suggested by the
advocates Of state sovereignty is to perpetuate
confusion and to unnecessarily hamper progress
that otherwise Is possible. The vehemence with
which the democrats insist on their doctrine eni-
phasizes the failure Of that party to grow with
growing civilization, All material interests OF
every state are well conserved and fully protected
under the republican plan. while none is per-
mitted. through selhshness for other reason, to
retard the forward movmcnt Of all.

THE FAMILY.

II. Stanley Haskins, In Life.
There's grille upstairs in her bed SO deep
Hark to the wind a-croonl
She's wrapped in a silver web of sleep.
Snug in her dream cocoon;
She hears the birds and crickets call
She stirs and smiles and loves them all,
But somewhat less than she loves her
DOLL
Hcish-o for the little maidl
There's laddic asleep in the house to-
Hank to the sound OF wings!
His slunbers are filled with a soft delight
And strange ecstatic things:
He dreams Of brave knights on sunlit
plain,
or fairy queens that soothly regin.
That wave their wands to Danish pain
Heigh-o for tho sylvan giadel
There's mother OF both. Harkl she gently
signs.
Kneeling beside them there.
The long day ended, meath starlit skies
She offers broken prayer
But sout on the field, where the wild
blades leap.
Whore the shrapnel burst and the
bayonets sweep.
One lies quite stiil where trench
yawns deep,
And the toll of Mars is paidl

the lowest position. When the question was
