So far i*H tho Democrats ure con cerned, lt Is a foregone conclusion that Mr. Wilson will bend the party ticket In 1910. There could he hardly' any other result even if Hie president j Mere averse to accepting' a nomina tion. As (.'hamp Clark Bald some moni hs ago, if tho Democratic party has made good under the president's leadership it will have to name him again, and If thc party lins not mado good, the nomination will bo worth nothing to any other man, That the party has made good to ri most re markable degree with Hs extensive progrnm of sensible and constructive legislation, no impartial fltudent of political affairs will deny, and it will bo hard for the Republicans to muddy Ibo water? and hide the merit of tho present administration from the vot ers of the country. Four cities aro contesting for tho honor of having tho Democratic con vention next year, San Francisco, Dallas, St. Louis and Chicago. Wo would Uko to see lt brought to Dallas, but the chances favor Chicago, which in Jeto years has become more and moro a Convention city for both par tien. St. Louis is also a strong bid der and a convenient location, but in Democratic circles there seemB to hang a certain hoodoo over tho Mis souri city because of the men who have been nominated there and have failed. Tilden wno named there in 1876 and lost, or rather was elected and com.ted out. In 1888 Cleveland had hin second nomination there and was defeated. Again in ?ij?4 Parker got a nomination there .ami was dis astrously beaten. ' The pince that gets the Republican convention will have a lively run for Us money as locality is ot extreme importance where the field is so di vided and tt?e party is centered on no ono candidate. Seward was much stronger than Lincoln in the conven tion of 1860, and it is genorally be lieved that Lincoln would never have receive tl the Republican nomination had the convention been hold in doy other city than Chicago. Besides being a splondid place fur holding a convention, with Us myriad rai'roads and its huge auditorium, Chicago is regarded by both parties with favor because? of the successes that have come from nominations made there. Cleveland waa nominat ed there in 1884 and in 1893, and both times ho won. At Chicago, Garfield In 1880, Harrison in 1888, RooBOvelt in 1904, and Taft in 1908, all won. The race is on in 'earnest now, and tho Republicans will have to trot out some mighty fine runners it they ex pect, to stay within Bight of Woodrow Wilson. .. ..*: . > . rt . o'.*.. . ? . ; . i CLOSE ' TO THE PEOPLE Wo do not know whether it has been tho custom heretofore for the county delegation to hold one or more public meetings -with the rtople be fore going to Columbia to make laws for the benefit 'Of state and county, but the custom Is wise and Demo cratic and ought to result in good. On iocal matters in particular, the momo err, of tho delegation ought to kee? in close touch with' the people they represent so as to ascertain their wishes and then to pass such legislation as .will be ot the greatest good to them. Before the elections are held every two years the candidates are required to gp around and address the voters on tho issue ot the day, but their con tact with" tho people niter they aie chosan to office should" not be hind ered in any zaauutT.'Governmehfc can not be thoroughly Democratic unices the people have a. direct voice !n mak ing the lawa that govern them, that is, a voice that fa expressed directly though men they- choose to protect their Intercuts. It meetings such 'as tho Anderson delegation has called win be held at jmb>. Intervals as the public welfare demands ,tho peop'o will bo brought into closer relations .with their chosen representatives and both <T?H1 $ baye a better understanding of tho duties' and responsibilities that belong, to them*. - 'The delegation does wen to take tho people into their full confidence and to ask for a mutual and frank dis cussion, of problems that vitallyeon ca*n Jbe people. Of course it was. the , prlnt?r\ fault when the Omaha Bee annouue ed that at a certain ! Irreproachable social function "The . '?reniag was spent in sinning and dancing," But ;;?^?t dldft't' do the editor ?try good. CROWDED Ot T I From what we have seen and from what wc have boen told by those who know, there ls considerably less grain sowed this year than was planted lan' fall. The weather still continues fav orable for sowing grain, and wo sin cerely hope that tho acreage will bo fully as lurgo as lt was for 1915. There ls, of course, a naturul temp tation to Increase the acreage In cot ton following a season when the price has been good, but a general surrend er to this feeling over the South will certainly result In a bumper crop in 1916 anil probably much lower prices than now prevail. Wo are passing through a period of commercial con fusion In which the war has played havoc with economic conditions the world over, and lt would be well for thc farmer to proceed with extreme cru'tlon until the rn!r.t:; clear away and he can seo ahead ot him better than he can see now. After the war Is over and the forces of reconstruction have had time to bring order out of wreck and ruin, af ter crippled industries have been brought to a new and vigorous life, lt is probable that tho world's markets will offer a wider demand for cotton than they have ever done. No ono knows, however, what the effect will be, and until this world madness is nt an end it is he.".t to go slow and ralso first what we know we can use at home and then grow cotton only for what can conservatively bo fore shadowed as a normal demand. A grain crop Is a safe dependence, and we hope that tho acreage will yet bc greatly increased. Don't crowd out the grain with something that may prove far less profitable at this time.

Junketing In Ute Name of Peace The latest of Henry Ford's vagar- j los ls the most remarkable of all. An nouncing a peace mission to Europe, ! he charters a steamship and invites j as his companions on this extraordi nary errand a number ot more or less conspicuous people; who ? presumably share his -vi?, wa that it ls practicable I to. get all combatants out of the | trenches by Christmas V-If-Mr. Ford were not a highly sucbea?ful business | baan-and .'ono ot the shrewd?st adver tisers alive," we would' 'suspect that | this latest posturing ari a peace angel | was a symptom of insanity. Leaving the United - States, as it I must, without a vestige of official sanction, this remarkable expedition will arouse the wonder -ot belligerent j Europe. Public quarrels aro not set tled by private intervention or me-1 di at ion. Mr.- Ford and his mission aries will obtain no access to gov erning authorities to whom they are not officially accredited.
