arynn and prohibition.

HASTINGS, Neb., Nov. 2s.-To the
Editor of The Bee: In spite OF his re-
cent "splurge" in the Commoner. our
friend Mr.. Bryan cannot be regarded as
n prohibitionist in any accepted use OF
that word. Naturally, he is displeased
with the active part the liquor interests
have played in his party, but he is
democrat primarily, and temperance
advocate only occasionally, politically
speaking He merely wants the booze
Influence kicked out of his party 80
that there may be harmony.
In 1890. Mr.. Bryan, by his own admins
zion, voted against the Nebraska pro-
hibitory amendment. AS late as 1911. In
a speech during the no-license fight in
Lincoln, he declared that in some cities
ana in some states he would vote wet.
No. real prohib would give voice to such
sentiments.
The next election being a presidential
one. we can safely figure that Mr.. Bryan
win get his anti-saloon speeches out OF
the way before the fall campaign OF 1916
After the democratic state and national
conventions have met. he will be busy
from that time until election day with
the usual topic, "Why Wilson's hands
should be upheld" and then appeal TO
the voters to do the holding"
BY speaking on the amendment to
the people directly. he can keep the en-
barrasslng liquor question from coming
up before the democratic administration
and compelling them 10 take definite
stand as to their attitude on its enforce
ment.
Many of us wondered why the democrat
members OF the legislature, and other
democratic leaders as well, were so loud
in their support to the initiative and refer
endum and letting the people rule" IL
was a psychological IuEzle then but
il Is all very plain now. They knew
that the time was close at hand when
they must take stand on the liquor
question. and were consequently alarmed
But with the initiative aud referendum
there will be no trouble. II the people
vote against the prohibitory amendment,
well and good. no harm done. II the
people vote for 1t. why the democratic
administration will see 20 II that the
law Is not too strictly" enforced. thus
keeping in line the LIQUOR interests as
well as the deluded temperance element

A noticeable difference between the American and Canadian methods of dealing with the question of high prices is the fact that the former arc wasting no time on investigations into the causes of this or that commercial condition which weighs heavily on the people. It Is enough for them that the evil exists and they are taking the shortest and most direct way to uproot It. Following close. on President Will sons tariff changes a bill has been in troduced in congress to put stop t. the manipulation of the prices of fcodstuffs by the cold storage trust. This measure is second in importance cnly to the tariff reductions. It ta- tacks an abuse which is not only re- sV Vonsible for high prices, but which enables dealers to palm off on the public foods which in many instances art not in its inception hailed as a heaven born invention has nroved unyInlng but a blessing except to the n.anipulators of prices and the Am ericans will show sound sense if they place it under restrictions which will ducted.
 The new measure if it becomes law. hn f1 ofn cro ot food products beyond a certain length of time 1t will compel all stor- age food to be tagged so that the purchaser may know the age of the product he is buying and goods held the legal limit will be branded as adulterated. Considering the almost un'versal use of cold storage the treasure will be as far reaching as r. will he beneficial. If the law is rigid ly enforced one of the greatest re- st,ictions to the freedom. of trade in the United States will be removed. Corners in foodstuffs will be rendered prlctically impossible and the con- sum TOT will be able to purchase com raratively fresh food at much lower cost than he can at present.
 Now that the high coast of living is becoming such a burning question would 1t not be we'll for our legislators to cast an eye on what our neighbors are doing to give the people relief. MT. Borden might have picked up a few valuable hints during his recent scjourn in Washington if he cared 10 carry them into effect.

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, APRIL 6, 1914.

Tomorrow iS election uaya-the day when the voters of Nome will select rom the list of candidates, seven men, who will act for us as city council men for the coming year. It does net seem likely, from casual remarks let drop here and there that any one ticket, as whole, will be elected
 Much quiet work is going on, com hinations being formed and candidates discussed, but the interest manifested seems to be similar to the interest taken in dog race-interest in who will win and who arc going to receive the prizes.
 Frequently may be heard the ques- tion asked as to how this or that can didate stands towards this or that man for city clerk or for other ap- ptintive offices, or where the funds of the city will be deposited but the ouestion-what the policy of the vari- GUS candidates may be regarding the manner of conducting the affairs o: the city Is never heard nor does 1t seem to suggest itself, and people ir general, seem to bc obsessed with idea Il at this is to be an election to de- termine who are to get the city plums.
 While not minifying the necessity of taking an interest in securing cap able and efficient servants for the city. 1t would seem that such matters, important as they are, might well be left in the hands of the incoming coun- cil and not be made the dominating factor in this election. To secure an election. 1t may be necessary for e csndidate to have the support of some asprant for city position, or of these who are seeking some favor from the, city-matters entirely dis trict from the general good of the city and mostly of a general nature tut these are matters of only second ary importance and should be 50 II eated.
 If the experience of the past Is any criterion to go by. we may expect to Tear many complaints unjust per- hsps when the new council comes to handle the very serious financial prob- lem of the city.
 It then will not be question of where the funds of the city shall be deposited who shall be city clerk. etc, but where are the funds to come from, what changes will be made in the fire and police departments and in the school made necessary by re- duced revenues of the city consequent upon the disastrous storm of last fall

X very interesting dispatch from Philadelphia announces that a com rlete history of the Navajo Indians fer 1900 years has been sent to the University of Pennsylvania by the chief of that tribe. The translation of this record will be awaited with great interest, for if it is what 1t is alleged to be. 1t win cast light upon one of the dark places in the history of mankind.
 The Navajos are one of the most in- teresting of all the native American peoples. They are cultivators of the gtll, are a highly religious race and have preserved a great mass of myth and legends. They are very musical, singing and dancing. playing an i'm pnrtant part in their religious cere- monies.
