LIGHT FROM NEBRASKA The legislature of Nebraska has passed a bill repealing the direct primary and restoring the convention system. Thu* this child of the west Is repudiated In the west Th* people of Nebraska havs not been without experience with the direct primary. On the contrary, they have given it a fair trial. The result of that trial la Ita condemnation For it la certain that tha legislature would net have votai aa It did had It not felt thht It wad reflecting the will of the people. There can be Uttle doubt that the direct primary has failed to "make good.” Peopla have stood by it long after they have seen ita defects, because they believed that It was opposed only by the machine, and felt that, had aa it was, it was better than the convention system. But there is an alternative, namely, a properly guarded convention system under jrhlch the delegate* shall be chosen at legally controlled primaries. Th* bosses have had little trouble In getting results from th# direct primary. There haa been no improvement In the quality of the candidates. The cost of sssking a nomination la so great as to ruminate from the contest, men who may Bave every qualification but wealth. By bringing out a number of candidates the machine finds it easy to spilt up th© vote so as to make certain the choice of Ita man. Apparently the people of Nebraska do not feel that to oppose the direct primary l* to favor the bosses. It Is £oubtful whether the machine was ever greatly concerned on the subject Many of the bosses may favor a return to the convention system, but even that fact —if It be a fact —docs not seem to havs had any weight in Nebraska. There is, after all. some virtue in the iwprescntaUv* principle. Nor would it be difficult to trams an honest system of nomination by/qonvsntton. Cl.LAM M, : C Indianapolis housewives are now getting ready to clean bouse, cleaning house, or have finished the Job. Now comes Mayor Jewett with an official proclamation. ordering a cleanup. He does not ask housewives to dust their fur•iturs. wash the windows and hang fresh curtains. Doubtless he takes all that for granted. Hs asks for co-oper-ation In th* removal of ashes and rubbish. No householder who haa gone through the ordeal of housecleaning should be content with a dirty yard. To make the Job complete everything inside the property lines should have

attention.

Things classified under the general head of trash will be removed by the #tty. without charge, during the ten-day cleanup period. Wood, bricks, concrete and gravel will not be hauled away. The trash should be placed where It can be reached without difficulty and If the haulers do not come within a reasonable time it wifi be well enough to jog the memory of the

authorltlea

The cleanup has a definite value, viewed from the standpoint of finance and health. No city can hope to cope with diseases as long as there are places for germs and mtatabes. Dirt is whsre they live and plan their raids on human systems Remove the places where they congregate and the general health of the community will improve. The factory owner looking for a new location looks for a city that, has a good health record. If typhoid fever epidemics have been common he cro**** that city off hte list. If general heattn conditions are not good he looks elsewhere, A high health standard is worth more to a city than almost anything else, and It can not have such a standard unless It keeps clean.

STRAW YOTES There being no political campaign on, several newspapers have contented themselves Rtth conducting straw votes on the league of nations. Most of these testa have shown that a majority favors the league although the minority frequently attains considerable relative site. The league of nations idea, however, is growing a trifle stale for straw vote purposes, so some papers, have begun to test public opinion as to presidential candidates. The Ft Wayne News, by a coupon canvass, found that General Leonard Wood led as the Republican choice for President with 1.2S« votes; Charles E. Hughes, former Republican presidential candidate, was second with 988; Senator Watson was third with 643, followed by Senator Borah. 592: General Pershing. 591, and scattering votes for Lodge. R<y>t.

sealed, and can not be censored as telegraphic dispatches can. How extensive IS the Burleson censorship we do not know. William J. Deegan. secretary of the Postal company, says that it is severe, that there is a system of espionage over employes only equaled by the Russian secret service, and that any one expressing an opinion unfavorabls to ths Burleson management "Is reported to the postofflee department by Burleson's sptas and must give a promise to keep his mouth shut or face instant dis-

miss* 1."

All of which will b# very disquieting to the American people, as it indicates ths existencs of a system of control over the sources of information. More than over they will demand that the censorship end. and that the wire* be turned back to their owners, from whom they were taken without any good reason. We do not want men at Washington to say what the people shall or shall not read. They should have no such power except as It is conferred on them by law. . There are many things said In a political campaign which the leaders of the party in power might consider Ubelotis, and exclude from circulation on that ground. There ought to be tlx# complctest freedom in this matter. Men ought to be content with the libel laws for their protection. It haa been said that Mr. Burleson Is the politician of the administration. He is a very poor politician. For he has made more trouble ftor the administration than all the other men at Washington put together — indeed he has made nothing but trouble for it. The ban is lifted in as far as it protected the postmastergeneral. But it is still in effect for the projection of others. The situation is one that can not be ended too soon. Burleson as a politician is as much a failure as Burleson, the postmastergeneral. and Burleson the manager of the telegraph and telephone companies. ENEMT PROFERTT German business interests are not getting much comfort out of this country's attitude toward alien property. Inquiries institute^ in behalf of German capitalists who wish to know what has become of their American holdings are met with the same firm response that determined the war policy, in his last annual report the custodian of alien property says: '

Uness, of pride, or welcome and all that sort of thing was in every heart, right enough, but it may have been too deep

for expression.

When our own boys march this spirit will be manifest; for the war is over and except for the vacant places in the ranks everything will call for unrestrained Joy. The college boy takes his enthusiasm seriously. He is enthusiastic about enthusiasm. Hs haa cheer leaders and they go about their business soberly and with much thought in an effort to produce a maximum of noise. These cheers hearten the home team; they help to win victories. Many a man has found himself alone In the center of a forty-acre field, where an Impulse caused him to throw back his head and shout as loudly as possible. At home he would not think of doing such a thing for fear it would awaken the baby or give the neighbors a wrong opipion. It is Just such shouting and just such a spontaneous outburst of real feeling that makes the marchers realise that the people are glad to see them — that they reaily are welcome at home once more. Indianapolis can shpw its real feelings when th# welcome-home parade

swings by.

With so many strikes and parades everywhere, it does look aa If there should be enough jobs for all who care to work. i —di Peace treaty terms limiting the German army to 100,000 won't keep the Huns from being a nation -of trained fighters, if the present riots continue. Limitation of mail service In Bremen to one delivery a day, might be a hint to the business man whose stenographer is corresponding with a half-dozen fellows overseas.

The legislative Intent was plainly that all enemy property, concealed as well as disclosed, should be placed entirely beyond the control or Influence of its former owners, where it can not eventually yield aid or comfort directly or Indirectly to the enemy. Untrt the peace terms are finally signed and the ultimate disposition of property determined by act of congress, it shall be the firm purpose of the alien property custodian to carry out the will of congress in respect there-

to.

It is estimated that the total value of property now In the hands of the custodian Is about *700,000,000. Various properties are, of course, under the close surveillance of supervisors, and many Industrial plants, formerly owned or controlled by Germans, were, at the time the armistice was signed, devoted solely to the manufacture of war supplies for the government. With the exception of these factories, the business of many of the concerns has been subject to many war vicissitudes which leave their future somewhat in doubt. But whatever the status of the property, It is not in German hands, and that is the main issue at this time. Ths ultimate attitude of the country toward this property will have to be determined. The former German owners can be depended on to exhaust every legal device to regain control of stock, patents, trade marks, formulae and other assets, and they will not be without American supporters who will profit in the long run. This country is not likely to overlook the fear that some alien companies operating in this country were answerable for certain information to the German spy system. NITRATE The sale by the government of something over 106,000 tons of nitrate intended for use In the manufacture of explosives calls attention to the problem of satisfying the growing demand for tills product It is necessary to American agriculture. During the war. of course, the manufacturers of explosives had first call on the available supply. While enough wa* obtained to provide for part of the agricultural demand, the price. Sven under government purchase and sale, was too high fo-

Having enemies of the Bolshevlkl quit fighting while food Is distributed to them is like letting the first caught in a game of hide-and-seek say "King’s X." The fellow who tried to keep ahead of the weeds by killing them before they grow can always look back and see plenty of them behind him, too. Many forgetful women will regard the order enforcing the dosing of the groceries on Sunday as a personal offense. Burieson may be a "trouble shooter," but be needn't apply to any of the wire companies for a Job In that capacity when he retires from the cabinet. Some folk can’t understand why the tracks have been tom up at Washington and Illinois streets since this is not state fair week. Meantime. Flume hasn't expressed an opinion aa to how it feels to be between Austria and the deep sea. Some of the counties might save money in the long run by surfacing their roads with silver dollars.

where the girl's beauty and voice im- j turnip-rooted family, and some of the

mediately win the love of Lionel, the fiance of Mrs. Everton’s daughter Amy. Not knowing of his engagement to Amy. Shanewis listens to his wooing, but insists that he must see her among her own people. Lionel goes to the Indian reservation In Oklahoma, where he is followed by Mrs. Everton and Amy. who try to impress on him the folly of moATylng one not of his own race. Shanewis learns of his former love for Amy and turns from him. As TJonel is about tp leave, Philip Harlo. a young Indian devoted to Shan se ts, shoots him with an arrow which he previously had given to Shanewis to ue*» If her lover proved untrue. The program opened with the opera prelude, which was played by Mrs. Charles A Pfafflin. The Introduction of Shanewis by Mrs. Everton was sung by Miss Jessie D. Lewla Three beautiful songs of Shanewis—"Spring Fong,” "Song of the Robin Woman” and “OJtbway Canoe Song"—were sung by Miss Mildred Barrett, whoso rich voice again was heard in two lovely duets with Mrs. Ralph Chappell, who sang the part of Lionel. These were “Love is Fleeting" and "Ijongtng.” Due of the most beautiful songs of the opera, 'Moonlight and Starlight," was sung exquisitely by Mrs. Chappell, who sang all her lines from memory, notwithstanding the fact that she was asked on short notice to fill the place of Mrs. R. 8. Kinnalrd. Philip Harjo's song, "You Have Chosen an Allen Lover, sung by Mrs. Glenn Friermood, and a third duqt, "We Followed You." was sung by Miss Lewis and Mrs. E. C. Johnson, who, with her customary beauty of tone, also sang "Love is

best. There are some good long one# among the winter kinds, but they are not so popular as the turnip-roOted kindn The latter usually have less foliage, making It possible to plant them cloear together In the rows, and

the rows nearer together.

It will be well to go over the question of best seed very carefully, so

when cooking. You can get a succession of beets for sauce and other purposes by sowing seeds weekly until midsummer, sowing just enough at one time for a week's requirements Once we get people to growing their own summer vegetables they will learn the difference between those picked and eaten at just the right time, and those which are picked when their bulk will give the most measure or weight to the dealer. As soon as tha ground can be worked the first beets can be sown, and a dusting of nitrate of soda be given to stimulate their growth so as to get them In early. They may be picked when an Inch in diameter, and if grown quickly they should be tender and sweet. Sow them in drills far enough apart to permit of easy working by your method of doing It. Do hot cover more than an Inch sno press down firmly. Keep the soil moist until they appear, and then thin out to three Inches apart and give

frequent cultivation.

Carrots divide naturally Into three

classes, the half-long, stump-rooted and long. Some of the last-named kind grow to a great sis# and can be stored away for winter use. However. they have not the same delicate flavor as the small ‘forcing" varieties, which are the kinds used for earlv crop. They have no enemies In the Insect family, except a wor.n which sometimes feeds on the foliage, which is infFriluent. and are not in-

tested by any plhnt maladies. For the carrot the soli should be

light, rich and porous. Use plenty of stable manure If well rotted and any deficiency should be made up by a well-balanced fertlfixer. They are gross feeders and will not do well in poor soil. The carrot can be sown «e soon in the spring as the ground can be worked, and successions thereafter as for beet*. The early eorts should be sown In drills, ths same as the beets, but the late large ones should be thinned out to eight Inches apart In Yhe drill when a stand is assured to allow of full development. The way to insure smooth round roots is by friable soli and continu-

Statements About Pay Under the

Law of 1917 Are Questioned.

To the Editor of Ths Nswa:

Sir—In discussions rtfoncernlng the county unit law, as It applies to the duties of township trustees, tho statement has frequently been made by those In authority that the law passed in 1917 abolishing road supervisors increased the pay of township trustees sufficiently to pay them for the work formerly done by the road supervisors in warning out. men and superintending

the road repair work.

The facts as I understand them are as follows: The trustee in Ohio township. Warrick county, Indiana, was paid 12 a day under the old law, and as the work required all of his time he received *626 a year. The old law allowed *K)0 a year for each road supervisor for superintending the repair of roads. Since this township required four supervisors the average cost was *400 a year. There being more than 160 miles of unimproved highways in the township, this cost does not seem to have been excessive. Now the law of 1917, which some claim increased the pay of trustees enough to pay them for superintending road repairs, Instead of the road supervisors, did increase the pay of the trustee ot this township $94 a year, and increased his allowance for expenses *50 a year. But in more than one-half of the townships of Warrick county the new salary law which went into effect January 1. 1919, actually decreases the trustee*s salary and lessens his expense allowance. As an example, the trustee of Hart township gets *26 less salary and *25 less money for expenses than Under the old law. . , * Further. I learn from reliable authority that taking the entire state, 296 trustees get & slight increase in pay and 724 get less money than under the old law when they had the help of the road supervisors. While I have 1-ad no opportunity of verifying these latter figures, I believe they are substantially correct, because they correspond with the facts as 1 know them in this county. Now, as one of the trustees, I shall endeavor to discharge the duties of the trustee's office to the best of my ability, in accordance with the way those duties are Interpreted by those in authority, but It seems to be only fair and just to

the trustees that the public should know that the trustees are not paid for r

doiftf the work formerly- done by the

road supervisor.

Nor are they adequately paid for their other duties, even though they had nothing whatever to do with the road repair work. In this township last year the trustee handled approximately »40,00i). Keeping an accurate account of the receipts and expenditures of this not inconsiderable sum. together with making alt the reports the law requires, looking after the repair of twenty-five miles of public ditches, and attending to the numerous other duties the law requires, causes the trustee to earn ah of the *720 a year the law allows him and much more. However. If they give us the roads. I for one will cheerfully do the best I can with them. If those who are interpreting the new law will please stop saying that we are paid for this We trustees do not care so much to work for nothing, for we are all industrious. but we do hate to be accused of being paid for something when we are noL S.
