French Cabinet Changes.

The resignation Of M. Delcasse from the Vi
viani cabinet, as shown By developments, was
hut the prelude to the retirement OF the entire
body, ana Presldent Poincare has asked Aristlde
BRAND TO form q body for the direction Of the
government OF France. The letter of M. VIviani,
accompanying the resignationa OF himself and
lis associates, Ascribes the action to differences
IN the French Parliament as to the best method
Ct conducting the war. Delcasse was made the
acapegoat for the French in connection with the
failure OF the Allies to hold Bulgaria In line or
to secure prompt accession to their cause from
Greece. His retirement does not seem to have
appeassd the elements in either the senate or
the chamber OF deputies, bent on criticizing the
government. Another phase OF the breach be-
tween the cabinet and the parliament is that a
demand for secret sessions was opposed by VI
uani.
Taken in connection with the debates In the
British Parliament, the developments in France
may be looked upon 80 quite significant OF the
temper OF the people Of these countries, as ex-
pressed by their representatives. The progress
Of the war has neither been 90 fast nor 80 favor
able a. the public would wish, and the politicians
opposed 10 the government have not neglected
to turn the situation to their own advantage.
Nothing 10 shown to indicate that the feeling ID
20 deep AZ 10 seriously presase change in the
policy 40 to the further pursuit OF the war Joffre
and French remain mistaken In the field, and
viii very likely until one or the ether IL over
wkelmed By actual calamity or II guilty Of some
egreeious blunder. II is the political and not
the military leaders who are involved in the cabl.
net changes.
And this is one OF the advantages Of popular
government The administration may be made
facilely responsive to popular opinion without
seriously jeopardizing the main established policy
70 the carrying out Of which the entire body Il
devoted. The French cabinet crisis lie hardly to
be considered as q serious factor in the prose-
cuticn Of the war, but more a. an episode In con-
noction with the great event.

stop Padainr PUpulatiOn Figurss.

On the front cover Of the little monthly pub
lication issued by the department Of accounts ana
finance entitled Municipal Statistics" We note
tho figures on the area and population Of the
city, presumably intended TO pass current as OF
fetal. In the population column Omaha Is hsted
with iT7,ela Inhabitants, South Omaha with
sB,s7O and Dundee with s,0oO, making total
Of the constituent elements IN Greater Omaha
2l5.012.
WHY should any OF our cty officials put
their stamp upon such flagrantly inflated fig
uresY Do they not remember Omaha's costly and
disastrous padded census blunder OF 1880, from
the burden Of which we have hardly yet escapsd7
The last 1910 census enumeration gave
Omaha a population of 124.096, South Omaha
2e.25s and Dundee 1.02s, being q total Of l51'-
s7s. IN the decade between 1900 and 1910 the
increase Of population had been Just about
10000, and assuming that we have grown as
much I'm the last five years as we had during the
preceding ten years---whioh is q big stretch-~all
vo could probably do would be TO add another
10000, bringing present population up to
1fI,00o.
The Bee is never backward about standing
up for Omaha and claiming for Omaha every
thing 70 which II might be entitled. But we pro-
test against spreading such misleading repre-
carnations as conveyed by this municipal pub
70 furnish foundation for false per capita cal
oulatIon OF taxes, municipal expenditures and
municipal debt. Such foolish population padding
can only keep US explaining an imaginary shrink
age when the next census figures are returned.

Ohio Will Hebuke BryaR.

OF The Bee: Woman suffrage will be
defeated IN both New York and Massa-
chusetts and statewide prohibition will
also be defeated in Ohio. The fact that
II received an overwhelming defeat in
New Jersey win influence many voters
IN New YORK and Massachusetts. The
voters in these states, ana many Of the
leading women, recognize that suffrage
was granted In many states merely ~
an experiment. They have studied cohdi-
tiona IN these states and they find they
are depiorable as compared with states
who're women do not vote. They ree0gs
nlse the grant OF suffrage to women is
repuenaht TO instincts that strike their
roots deep IN the order Of nature! that

it flouts the teachings Of experience,
and is contrary 10 oiyine order. Tney
recognize that women have other eapa-

to care for women, and they will resist

in relinq uishing that right they rec0g-

in Ohio by an overwhelming vote, Had
the people of Ohio conducted their cam
paign without the interference Of our ma

Bryan, 1t would have been defeated but
the vote would not be 20 decisive. His

state win be resented by many good peo-
pie. Mr. Bryan ought 10 bear In mind
that the people OF this country no longer

his five campaigns he received the sup
