The shake-up in the Des Moines city
council at the election Monday, in
which three of the four present mem
bers failed of reelection, was no doubt
due to the incessant wrangling among
the councilmen. An occasional fight
in the city hall will rouse the amuse-
lnent, If not, the interest, of the peo-
pie, but when it becomes an endless
running fight between the city
officials the people are apt to become
disgusted The new Des Moines ad-
ministration will have better luck If
the press agent methods of old are
discarded and more time is given to
active work in the city's interests.

Dakota promptly showed the colonel
under by giving it's delegates to La
Toilette. Was Mr.. Roosevelt satisfied
that the people had ruled? Hardly.
Through his campaign managers he
declared the wicked democrats did 1t.
New York had presidential primary
yesterday and gave it's support to
President Taft, although it was Roose-
velt's home state and he was battling
hard for instructed delegates. Did
the people rule when given an op-
portunity through their primary? The
results show they diu, but Col Roose-
welt raises the cry OF fraud and wants
another primary.
COL Bryan also seems to be afraid
that the people may not rule to
suit him and he has served notice that
he will bolt the Nebraska delegation
If he gets on tin the event that
the majority of the democrats of the
state favor Harmon for president. In
this connection the Sioux City Journal
takes Col. Bryan to task for his in
consistency in the following editorial:
Does Col. Bryan really believe in
letting the people rule? 1t appears
not. Col. Bryan is running for dele
gate at large to the democratic ma
tional convention, He is running under
presidential primary law. This law
contemplates that all the democrats
of Nebraska shall vote their presi-
Dental preference and that the result
of the referendum shall De accepted as
instructions by the delegates at large.
That is to say, if the democrats of Ne
braska express preference for Clark
or Wilson or Harmon the delegates
elected in the same primary will be
expected to vote for him. This is
popular rule as near as it can be
worked out under the primary. Now
comes w. J. Bryan, candidate for dele
gate at large, and deposes that if the
democrats of Nebraska in the popular
referendum declare a preference for
Harmon he will resign his Office as
national delegate rather than go to
the convention and vote for the popu-
lar choice In other words he will
not accept the rule of the people.
Popular rule is all right if the people.
decide the way he would. In that
event he will obey their instructions.
But if their decision does not agree
with his judgment, he will bolt. ,Obvi-
ously Senator Hitchcock has far and
away the better of Col. Bryan in the
present controversy. Col. Bryan
should announce his willingness to &C.
cept the instructions of the electorate,
whatever, they may be, or quit prating
about the absolute necessity for let
ting the people rule.
OF course all this talk of LET the
people rule" is silly twaddle. The peo-
pie have ruled three times in Mr..
Bryan's case, each time electing his
opposing candidate for the presidency.
And in this present contest for dele
gates between Taft and Roosevelt the
people are ruling just as effectively.
Whether they are selecting delegates
to the conventions by means of prim-
aries or caucuses they are naming
delegations favored by the majority
of the voters and instructing them as
the majority dictates.
