Stop Lying.

Our contemporary, The Bee, is greatly
exercised over the water works Issue. 1t
wants the question of municipal owner
ship versus an extension of the water
works franchise left to the judgment of
the Water board without submitting the
question to direct vote of the people OF
Omaha-World-Herald.
This is a deliberate misrepresenta-
ton of The Bees position. In the
only article that has been printed in
The Bee discussing the proposed
$780, 600 water bond issue The Bee
said: Z
Members of the Water board explain
that they want to find out whether the
people wish to complete the purchase of
the water works or to compromise with
a franchise extension on new terms. If
this Is the purpose the submission of the
proposition in that form will not accom-
plish 1t. To get such an expression Of
public opinion the people should be per-
mitted to vote for one of two PROPOSE
tions-either for the bonds or for a COM
promise-and the terms of the comprom-
ise should be known so as to permit of
intelligent voting
The people of Omaha were gotten
into their present water works
dilemma by systematic lying and false
hood, but 1t seems to us that they
ought to have had their eyes open by
this time sufficiently to be suspicious
of further imposition on their credul-
ity from the same source.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-02-27

Even the trainers of the Oklahoma
convinced that the measure affords
many dangerous loopholes which
might be used by reckless flnanciers
to their w profit and the hurt of the
state and the honest bankers. State
Senator Reuben Roddie, author of the
original law, is now pressing a number
of amendments hat materially change
the scope and details Of the original
law.
When the law was first passed it was
predicted hat banks would spring up
in Oklahoma like drug stores in a
prohibition state, and the prediction
has been abundantly fulfilled. Sena-
tor Roddie reports that in towns with
small population where heretofore one,
or at the most two, banks have been
able to handle all the business there
are now from four to six banks, thus
splitting up the town business to an
extent that really ~endangers the exist
ence of all banking institutions. One
of the proposed amendments Is to place
the capital stock of a bank at $4,000,
in even the smallest towns, and to in
crease the capital stock in proportion
to the growth in population. To stop
the national banks from circumvent-
ing the law, state banks are also to be
prohibited from keeping more than 10
per cent of their reserve fund in ma
tional banks within the state.
Another amendment provides hat at
least two members- of the banking
board shall be experienced bankers, it
having apparently dawned upon the
Oklahomans that bankers would be ex-
pected to know more about banking
business than farmers and cowboys.
II 10 also proposed to allow the state
officers to deposit state funds in the
guaranteed banks without Offering any
other security than the deposit guar
anty law. The last proposition is a
clear plan to use the state funds, in an
emergency, to bolster up the guaranty
fund.
All of the amendments furnish evil
dence that the law itself is a species
of experimental legislation that is not
based on established economic princi-
pies and might, in case of a general
period of depression. accentuate the
very evils 1t was designed to remove

The Oregon Plan.

Our democratic friends are trying to
make much ado over the opposition of
republican members of the legislature
to the adoption for Nebraska of the
Oregon plan of electing United States
senators. They are trying to make
out that this is a back-sliding from the
position which Nebraska republicans
have repeatedly taken in favor of the
election OF United States senators by
direct vote. The Nebraska delegation
in the Chicago convention last year re-
corded itself for a platform declara-
ton for direct election OF senator's and
republican legislatures have several
times passed resolutions asking con-
gress to set in motion a constitutional
amendment to that end.
The Oregon plan, however, is not
the election of United States senator's
by direct vote. although II Is supposed
to be an approach to 1t. The plan now
In operation in Nebraska comes as
near to being a direct choice as does
the Oregon plan, because 1t gives the
rank and file of each political party
the right to choose the candidate for
senator and then leaves It to the pop
ular vote in the respective legislative
districts to say which candidate shall
have the election. BY the Oregon plan
one candidate for senator might carry
two-thirds of the legislative districts
and still lose out on the total popular
vote.
The proposed change can be best
understood by applying it to the cleo
ton of president through the electoral
college. Presidential electors are now
all chosen by states. although they
have been chosen by congressional dis
tricts. The successful candidate Is the
one who gets a majority OF the cleo
toral votes in the respective states
although not necessarily a majority o.
the popular vote. The Oregon plaI
applied 10 a presidential election would
require every member OF the electora
college to vote for the candidate foI
president receiving the highest popular
vote at the polls.
This proposition has been seri
ously made In connection with a presi
Dental election and would. doubtless
be most vigorously opposed by tn
democrats because It would take ava,
from them the advantage they nov
have in the o~verweighted representa-
ton of the solid south in the electora
college. The neasest they would wan

A Remark or Two on Democracy
Priceless Runner.
Brooklyn Eagle (dem).

Brooklyn Eagle (dem).
Mr.. Bryan says that everybody who
knows anything, or who has any sense at
all, knows where he stands in the matter
Of being a candidate for president for the
fourth time. He is not, he explains, an
out-and-out candidate. but If the people
want him to run again he does not see
how he could refuse. In the interval he
has much important work to do"
There is nothing premature In this an
nouncement. Other candidates cannot COM
plain that they have been kept in suspense.
Mr.. Bryan tells them what to expect. He
warns them to keep off the grass" In
due course of time the people will lie the
customary demand and the party will COM
ply with it.
Fortunately, Mr.. Bryan is his own jury
and his WI judge. He not only deter
mines the people want. but decides
that they want-and mus have-him. Nor
is there any known reason why his ex-
penses should not be paid out of the re-
publican campaign fund. There is truth In
the statement that he is not an out-and-
out candidate. He is out and out and out.
