| A national nominating convention is
an institution typically American; NOT
only this, but it personifes better
than any other convention or govern
mental agency the spirit Of American
life.
The delegates are fresh from the
people; they have but recently smelled
the smoke of battle in the conflict of
ideas which attends the nomination
ola candidate of one of the great DO
litical parties. The vast majority of
these delegates are imbued with the
desire to serve their country best by
serving their party wisely; they are
inspired by the elevatng thought that
they are for the time being part Of
the real government Of the country
and. have a serious responsibility to
perform.
Incidentally, it may be said that it
will be a sad day for the country when
the government usurps the activities
that Nbelong to the individual citizen;
there comes from the deliberations of
a great nominating convention
sense of responsibility and self-sacri-
ticing patriotism which would be
blunted and finally killed by the effort
to fit these voluntary political activi-
ties of the citizen interested in party
organization to the procrustean bed
of the forms of law.
The primary has its proper place in
the nomination of county, district and
state candidates, but to attempt to ex-
tend it to the nomination Of candi-
dates for the presidency would tend to
kill the national spirit which in re-
cent years has had but a feeble ex-
istence.
Americans have almost forgotten
that they have a country; the spirit
of patriotism has beer at a low ebb
and our country has endured meekly
insults which would not have been
tolerated in the brave days OF old.

ASK SUBSCRIPTIONS /
TO LIBERTY LOAN,
State Council of Defense Says
Public Not Sending in the
Money as Fast as
Wanted.

| Lincoln, Neb., May 20.-(Speciaiy
Subscriptions to the Liberty loan"
are not coming in as fast as is neces-
sary, according to Chairman Joyce of
the State Defense league, and the de-
partment at Washington is anxious
more interest be taken in the matter.
MANY are not situated so they can
serve their country in an active ca
pacity," said Mr.. Joyce, who, could
subscribe to this loan and do a service
to their country, and would like to
see generous response from this
state"
The Council Of Defense advises that
registration day be made great day
in everv respect. Bands should add
their part to the day and furnish mu-
sic of an inspiring character and the
whole day be devoted to patriotic ac-
ton.
Draft Is Misunderstood.
The council desires that people get
the idea out Of their heads that the
selective draft measure in any way
corresponds to the so-called draft in
vogue at the time of the civil war. 1t
is simply an effort to discover the
man power of the nation that the
president may understand in reality
what he has behind him and how he
can use it to the best advantage, not
wholly as a fighting strength, but in
all lines Of work relative to the COM
ing war. .F
In the matter of the selective draft
and the men who come under it Chair
n.an Joyce says:
1T should be clearly understood by
all that those eligible to registration
are young men who have arrived at
the age of 81 prior to the date of the
presidents proclamation of May Is,
and those who have not reached their
thirty-frst birthday at that time.
In Case Of Disability.
On case of physical inability to visit
the polls statement to that effect
should be made upon the return card
and the same presented by relative
or member of his family. In the event
of absence from place of residence
card should be secured from the
sheriff of the county and return
made to the county clerk of that
county to be forwarded to the county
clerk in the county in which the young
man has his permanent home.
"The exact time at which such
report should be made is yet to be
announced. All young men of eligible
age should, in order to avoid mis-
take, attend to it Immediately and it is
the duty Of all citizens who have
friends eligible to registration who are
absent from their regular place of
residence, to advise them what will be
expected of them at once. The penalty
attached to failure to register is
welfth months Imprisonment besides
other disagreeable consequences"
