The St. Louis Globe-Democrat speaks "Missouri's rtcres of diamonds." Show us. of If this suffrago and anti-suffrage luncheon competition keeps up, tho oats ought to get bet ter and bettor. Wonder if each of tho other Indicted lawyors is to have a similar editorial eulogy from tho newspaper apologist. The Omaha Philosophical society's weokly confab is faBt taking rank among our loadlnff Sunday nmuscmonts. Tho eighth wonder of tho world Is how Men del Bollis has so long ovuded both the Chau tauqua and vaudoville managotrs. It seems to bo hard for our Water board boss to decide which to lot us buy first tho gas works or tho electric lighting plant. Tbo go-to-church census shows over 82,000 attendance at services, which is moro than halt Omaha's total population. Pretty good oxhlblf. The High Cost of Campaigning. When It was disclosed by congressional In vestigation that Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin had paid out more than a hundred thousand dollars for what he thought to bo tho legitimate expenses of the campaign to elect him to the United States senate people were startled at the Blze of the figures. The natural inference wus that under such conditions none but millionaires, or proteges of millionaire;, could hope to sit In that august body of law makers. Slnco then wo have adopted a consti tutional amendment providing for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, and wo have placed candidates for this office on the same footing as other candidates required to make public statements of their campaign expenditures. Tho first returns from a really contested senatorial primary are those from South Dakota, which Indicate that tho pre liminary skirmish cost tho winner, in round figures, nbout $3,000, and the loser about $2, 000. The successful nominee has the regu lar election yet ahead of htm, which, It is a fair presumption, will bring his total outlay up to not less than $5,000, a very modest sura In that cocnectlon, as no doubt overyono will agree. Rut if It takes JG.OOO for a not extravagant campaign for Unltod States senator In South Dakota, what Is the significance elsowhorc? In tho last presidential election South Dakota(cast a total voto of 115,925, less than half the vote of Nebraska. On tho same ratio to the voto a senatorial campaign in Nebraska would cost $12,000. In tho same election Iowa's total voto wuh 492,326, or four and one-half times that of South Dakota; Illinois, 1,146,103, or nearly ten times that of South Dakota; and New York's 1,587,983, or nearly fourteen times that of South Dakota. The candidate for son ator compelled to go through a primary fight, and then a regular election campaign, would, therefore, at proportionate cost have to spend not less than $22,000 in Iowa, $50,000 In Illi nois and $70,000 In Now York. The mero mention of theso figures proves the Impossibil ity of anyono representing these states in the senato at a salary of $7,500 a year, and getting back tho cost of making the race if he foots his own bills out of his own pocket, or, if ho does not, of being a senator free and unhampered by strings hold by thoso who have financed his campaign. Tho problem presonted Is not only serious, but bound to become moro soriouB unless tho solution Is soon found. It Is easy to limit tho campaign outlay by law, but plainly the limit must bo .hlghor for Nebraska than for South Dakota, and higher for Now York than for Ne braska, and In proportion would become almost prohibitive In the big population states. One or two states make a subvention out of tho public treasury to tho different political parties for campaign expenses, but no one has yet pro- l pesed to rolmburee candidates for primary nom inatlon in this way. Direct popular government (Upends npon the frco choice of official agon clef by the people, and to Insurd this freedom of choice nomo practical plan must bo devised to provent the high cost, making wealth alono tho stepping stone to high office. There Is still time to launch a few more In itiative and rofrendum measures for Nebraska voters to' pass on in the coming Norombor elec- tUn. Tho newspaper that Insists lawyers can do no wrong owes an' editorial oulogy also to tho Unfortunto barrister caught In that lld-llftlng raid. After he votes for free tolls in direct repu diation of tho Baltimore platform, Senator Hitchcock will havo to keep still about Mr, Bryan violating Instructions In the convention. According to Edgar Howard, tho falthul In Nebraska will havo to chooso botweon Wilson and Bryan on one sldo and Hitchcock and Wall street on tho other. Wall street was never very popular out on theso prairies. Politics Is barred from discussions at school house moetlngs. But who is to docldo what constitutes politics? And how In this land of free speech aro discussions to be controlled after they are onco under way? How many of thoso who wont to church un der tho Impulso came out saying, "1 was glad when they said unto mo, let us go Into tho houso of the Lord?" In tho answer to that question rests a good doal of significance. Speaker Clark says it takes more sense to mako a good congressman than to mako a good president. Oh, wo aro not so suro about that not after looking back over tho list of con gressmen who have represented this district! One surely has to go away irom homo to got the news. Tho assuranco of a Kansas City newspaper that Omaha has been completely cleaned up from a moral standpoint, leaving nothing more for us to do, would be decidedly satisfying If we cpuld only persuade ourselves of its truth. Aro We Still Feeding the World? It appears from figures recently Issued by tho Department of Commerce that, while in 1SS3 agricultural products formed 84,3 per cent of our total exports, In 1913 tboy formed only 46.1 per cont; In 1880 manufactures, exclusive of foodstuffs, made up 14.78 per cent of our ex ports, and In 1913 48. S per cent. Wo used to call our country tho broad basket of tho world, but aro wo foedtng tho universe qulto as much as formerly? Very steady and constant has beon our transformation as ox porters in the last thirty years from raw ma terials to manufactured products. The answer Is ono with which wo aro familiar our produc tion of food Is not keeping paco with our con sumption and wo havo a smaller comparative surplus to supply other countries. Of course, In this period we have made tremendous strides in manufacturing, but that Is not tho answer to this question. Wo might havo made even greater Industrial progress had we kept up with our soil production ns wo should and could. Prom no point of Inquiry can we approach this problem without discovering tho stern fact that our population and homo consumption growths are gaining on our food production.- Under Which Flag, Democrats toMnimo rsoAt act: riLcj Tho chief Interest In th Impending- city election centers around the- school board, but the re-eleoUott of the out-going members.

Iowa nnd Missouri, tho western immigration and in dustrial ngent for tho Northern Pacific railroad at Seattle urges tho commerclol Interests of the Pacific northwest to unite In discouraging ex cessive land values as nn inducement to tho purchaso of land for home-bulldlng purposes by immigrants. He says much of tho land thoro is too high-priced, and wo can readily ap predate it. That is Inevitable where there is so much land booming; whore promoters go In more for quick turns than for building up tho country. No land value comparison between such states as Washington and Nebraska is complete which does not t'ako Into consideration tho quality of the land, togother with location ab respects market, transportation facilities, cll mato and other essentials to successful farming, Whllo Bome middle western states havo reaped 111 results from excesslvo land valuation, Ne braska has not; the teudenoy here has boon rather to hold down tho Belling prices or lauu. In tills and tho other particulars mentioned wo offer, therefore, superlative attractions to thoso seeking homes on the land. Tho Northern Paclflo's agent makes a point which we desire to commend to our own people. Ho suggests the Idea of "engrafting tho personal equation" Into the actlvo Immigration opera tions. "I rogard contact with the proposed set tler as the ono very lmportaut thing to whlcn tho northwest must resort next," says he. Of the 1.190,000 Immigrants who came to the United States last year, only 6,000 settled in Nebraska, while 32,000, for Instance, went to California, It goes without saying that if, the superior advantages of Nobraska were properly placed before these people, more of them would settlo here, for as newcomers and strangers they have no prejudice or preconceptions to which practical reason cannot appeal. The sooner wo address ourselves seriously to this task, the better for tbo state's development. A Clnsslr.nl Administration. WAIIOO, Neb., March .-To tho Kdllor of The Bee: If .a classlcat administra tion means that wo are to be governed by narrow technicalities it would have been better if we had chosen our statesmen from among section men and farm hands who would not forfeit com mon sense for technical allusions. In the HayPauncefote treaty the United Slates was treating with Great Britain and with other nations; It was not treat ing with Itself, within Itself; It did not Include Itself. Th arrangement of the argument on tha term "all nations" Is on a par with the story of o young man who wrote 21 on a piece of paper and placed It In his boot and told the Judges of tho election that ' ho was over ?1." The atrangement did not make him a legal voter. It was un artificial truth. If wo are to rest on technicalities and arrange the word "discrimination" It may be construed that England discrimi nates against all other nations by ship ping goods in maritime vessels and there fore should pay an extra toll. If we give up our home Interests to please a distant nation we will surrender regulation of our government to a foreign power. AV. B. (lorcrnment Oirnentlilp, KIMBALLTOK, la., March Z.-Td the Editor of The Beo: The railroads of the United States aro not yet owned by tho government of the United States, neither are the ships that belong to corporations nnd citizens of the United States, there fore they should pay toll, But, suppose tho government owned some or all the Tallroads here would It be good policy to make Interstate traffic free and give everybody a free ride when ever they wanted It: and then take run ning expenses out of government funds? And, now, even If the government don't need or don't care to have tne Income of the Panama canal, would thn people of the middle states not he Interested If such Income was Used to Improve naviga tion on the Mississippi river? Further, suppose we find stock In the Suez Canal company In the same vaults that contain stock in European steamship lines, would It not tend to make such lines favor the Suez canal as much as possible? And It Is also In their Interest to havo the Panama canal appear of. fonslve to the rest of the world so much more business for the Sues canal. That Is the position we are In with our coast-wlse-trado free of tolls. Abroad It will appear unfair and unjust and the European trade will and can to a great extent stay out. In this way wc prac tically hand over the Panama canal to our steamship lines. There will bo very few small boats owned by individuals to make use of the Panama canal. If the government should build a railroad, and then give the use of It td some operating compaay it would only be tho same thing. M. II. MADSEN. Asks a, Correction. PITTSBUBOII, Pa., March K.-To the Editor of The Bee:. By the use of sleight of hand methods, at which It Is adept, the Anti-Saloon league has procured the publlcatldn ' generally throughout the country of an alleged news item calcu lated to create the Impression that the representative business men's organisa tion of Pittsburgh has adopted a resolu tion favoring national prohibition. Tho germ of truth In the publication Is that a -minor organization, called the Pittsburgh Board of Trade, with about $4,000 incomo per year, has adopted such a resolution, but It represents only u portion of the east end. There aro about twenty little boards of trade In Pittsburgh, and tho action of any one of these boards Is not significant. The representative business men's organ ization of Pittsburgh Is the Chamber of Commerce, which has between 1,100 and 1,200 members and an Income of about $40,000 per year, and this organization certainly has not adopted a resolution In favor of national prohibition, but on the contrary February 19, by an over whelming vote, laid on the table resolu tions favoring national prohibition, and on March 12, 1914, took them from tho table and by a large majority killed the resolutions by postponing action until May, 1M5. As a business man and as a member nnd director of the Chamber of Commerce of Pittsburgh I hope you will be willing to present this statement of fact and thereby help to keep tho record straight, A. M. HANAUB, Political Ties Edgar Howard In Columbus Telegram. There la no use trying to disguise the situation. There Is an element In the democratic ranks In No- ' bra ska which Is not In harmony with the Wilson ad ministration. The leader of the anti-Wilson clement Is .Senator Hitchcock. It was the Hitchcock decree which sent forth those un-American charges against President Wilson during the presidential primary campaign. It wa tho same Hitchcock who consorted with the agents of Wall street In the Baltimore con vention In an effort to tie the democratic party in the Walt street stall. It was this same HttoncocU who played the game for the sugar tariff thieves In an effort to defeat the Wilson tariff measure In, con gress. It was this same Hitchcock whd acted as spokesman for Standard Oil and other Interests of the criminal rich when the Wilson currency program was before congress. But what has all this to do with the nomination of a democratic state ticket In Nebraska? Very much to do. with It. This samo Senator Hitchcock and the Interests behind him have a mad ambition to em barrass President Wilson. It would bo embarrassing to tho president if the democrats of Nebraska should nomlnato a ticket composed of the enemies of the ad ministration. Such a deal. In tho home state of Mr. Bryan, the premier df tha Wilson administration, would be notice to tho world that Nebraska democrats had repudiated the Wilson administration. The Tele gram Is r.ware that the Hitchcock spokesmen In this state proclaim their loyalty to President Wilson, while ne"er losing an opportunity to fling a harpoon at Secretary Bryan. They forget that In very recent days PreA'dent Wilson publicly expressed unfaltering faith In this same Bryan, and without limit extolled the private and public worth of the great secretary of state. No honest man may study tho record of the treatment accorded to President Wilson and his ad ministration by the Hitchcock crowd In Nebraska without reaching the conclusion that the alleged friendship of the Hitchcock, following for President Wilson, personally, and for his plans and purposes. Is tho friendship of tho frog for the fly. It is tlnu for plain talk In Nebraska. It Is time for the friends of President Wilson and his adminis tration to get awake to the situation. A victory for the Hitchcock reactionaries in the Nebraska demo cratic primary would be heralded to all the world as a direct slap In the face of President Wilson and Sec tary Bryan. The selection of candidates known to be friendly to President Wilson and Secretary Bryan would be evldcnco to all the world that the democracy of Nebraska still has faith In our splendid president and still approves the policies of his administration. And so It aoems to the Telegram that this present hour Is none too early to plan for a battle which cannot be avoided, and which should not be avoided. All this talk about cementing the democrats of Ne braska under one leadership Is very pretty talk: to partisan ears, but It Is Idle talk, unless all shall agree that the supreme leader shall be President Wilson. And If all Nebraska democrats are to rally under the banner of President Wilson, as they ought to do, then whom shall we recognize as tho lawful bearers of tha Wilson banner In this state? Certainly not Senator Hitchcock, for. Indeed, his chief practice has been to spit upon, rather than to applaud, every program at tempted by President Wilson for the promotion of anything which bore even the suspicion of A progres sive democratic principle. No battle worth while was ever wort by any army which did not trust Its leader ship The vast majority of Nebraska democrats sua pect the sincerity of Senator Htlchcock, and they have proof of his devotion to the cause of the crim inal rich, and proof of his hatred of every progressive plan ever proposed by President Wilson. These two facts dictate to real democrat In NobrasKa tne im peratlve duty of nominating a staU ticket which will be recognized, from top to bottom, as carrying the names of democrats devoted to the cause of Presidont Wilson and opposed to the cause of Wall street, as represented In the United States senate by Mr. Hitch cock. In the very nature of things the campaign In Ne braska this year will lie distinctly along tho line of national Issues. Btato Issues will be thrust so far in the background that neither orators nor editors will be able to Induce the voters to listen to their pre sentation. Tho Telegram welcomes a campaign on national Issues. Wo believe President Wilson and his administration will receive an overwhelming vote of approval In Nebraska. It the Issue can be made per fectly clear, as It will be, 10,000 republicans in Ne braska will vote for a democratic state ticket which Is' positively known to be composed of nominees who are loyal to President TVllson and his administration. Thero Is so much patriotism In the hearts of the honest element In the republican party In Nebraska that that element would consider It a first duty to cast a vote to approve and encourage President Wil son. Bpeaklng from the standpoint of a supporter of President Wilson and his administration, and In the hope that the Issue In Nebraska may not be befoggod, Tho Telegram respectfully asks the t;e-.nocrats of the state to take their proper place In the primary fight and let It be a fight to a finish. Those who applaud the Wall street activity of Senator Hitchcock and his persistent efforts to embarrass President Wilson and his administration, should stand under the llltchcocl; banner, and fight for the nomination of democratic stato candidates who are In sympathy with the Hitch cock opposition to President Wilson and his plans and purposes. Those who applaud the courageous course of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan should stand beneath the WUson and Bryan banner, and fight for the nomination of a set of democratic state candidates who are known to be In full sym athy with the achievements of the Wilson administra tion, and with Its plans and purposes for the, future. And, another thing, seo how a national coast-to-coast highway would facilitate travel for General Keller's army. Ballot reform In Illinois managed to reduce tho municipal ballot In ClUcago to forty Inches, carrying thirteen proposi tions besides the candidates. One branch of the Kcntuck legislature voted to submit a prohibition amendment to the constitution, the other turned It down. For the present the fame of Ken tucky hospitality remains at the top notch. Cone Johnson of Texas, trie new solic itor of th State department, la said to bo juice.
