you much on account Of my lack of

Americans are selfishly elated when
the morning news announces that
America is determined to keep out
of European affairs because it means
that we can buy more francs for less
money that day. And the faces OF
the French, perpetllally hopeful, fall.

Hughes for his Monroe Doctrine day
speech, while France cursed.

one hears from every quarter. Some
how one has more sympathy for
France when one is among them.
The people are not gay-indeed, they
are very quiet and sober and sad.
They make merry only for the pleas
ure-loving Americans. Some say
that they have not seen France smile
since the war. 1t seems true she
paints her lips and her cheeks; she
dyes her hair and wears frivolous
clothes and she smil es for the sake of
appearances. But l have yet to see
the man or WON an with face in re-

great majority of the women wear
black, many of them deep mourning
although more than five years have
passed since the war. Yet--France
does not seem to be suffering. She
has to pay feart III price for the

MuRpHY's DEATH AND DEMOCRACY.

According TO Washington correspondent Of the
New York Times the death Of Charles Francis Muir.
ply happened at about the right time for certain ee-
ments of his party. When the Tammany cheftnn
laid down to rest, there went with him carefully
prepared plan to dominate the New York conven-
tion. Murphy, Taggart and Brennan, the trio whose
machine regulates the proceedings of the party, had
everything cooked and ready to fire at New York
Murphy wanted to make Al Smith the romnee
after him. Ralston of Indiana, and then Underwood
of Georgia. In either of the latter were named.
Smith was to have second place on the ticket. All
this pn-setting is overturned in the absence of
the great boss. No hope is held out that Brennan
and Taggart will try to put the program through.
In fact, is suggested that each of these regards
himself relieved from any compact and free to
enter alliance. Who they will deal with and
what they will demand is yet to be developed.
With New York's 90, Al Smith has the largest
number Of instructed delegates total of 123,
which is long way from the necessary two-thrds.
No other candidate looks any more impressive, and
the outsiders all encouraged by the situation.
Tammany, of course, will have head before
the convention gathers but he will not be approved
by the national organization to the extent of allow
ing him "Charlie" Murphys prestige. That leaves
the field wide open it year ago.
James NJ. Cox has Ohio back Of him again, but
lost the state by 900 presidential candidate
when a republican candidate for governor had but
900 plurality. Favorite sons will crowd the
track at the start at New York. and the outlook now
is they will all be lost at the finish.

Omaha To the Editor Of The
Omaha Bee: Your defense Of the
Nebraska primary law was . very

cause. But the trouble with both
your defense and the primary law Il.
self IN that they are builded upon the
false premise that ours Is q democ-
racy. The truth IN that ours is n
republican or representative form of
government. The shibboleth Of let

Is perversion Of the fiinda mentals
upon which our republic rests. IN
the old DAYS when the shoemaker EN-
Tdoyer worked on the bench alongside
his employees. We had what might be
termed an industrial democracy But
now that ths employing shoems ker

trial democracy has given way to the
representative form Of doing business
between them.
The founders Of the republic foregaw
the time when this country would be-
come too big for fhs town meeting
style 81 government. 80 they wisely
provided for the representative form.
The primary law is nothing more nor
less than an effort TO destroy the rep.
resentative form OF government and
establish a democracy in n country Of
more than a hundred million people
who hold almost as many divergent
views. The utter fufiiity of transact.
ing governmental business under a
system Of that sort should he sp.
parent TO any thoughtful citizen.
