ROBBERIEs In WASHINGTON

The many holdups and burgiarieS
in Washington are naturally causing
uneasiness to numbers. 1t is a COM
mentary upon modern police depart
ments when it is realized that IN the
capital city of the country "here
municipal protection is supposed 10
have reached perfection, and where
a policeman can be seen on nearly
every block, footpads and sneak
thieves still ply their vacations.
II is. however, no reflection upon
the police, as in order to bring such
procedures to standstill it. would
be necessary to place an officer IN
every house.
In some of the large cities burglar
les have been committed in broad
daylight and on business streets
while, policemen have been patroi-
ing the thoroughfares. 1t is common
to read of men entering banks, blnd7
ing the employees, robbing the safes
and making their escape.
In the days of join Wesley it was
extremely dangerous to venture IN
the streets of London after dark.
Footpads were lurking in every
street. Watchmen were employed by
the city, but outlawry continued in
time thousands, of young men were
appointed policemen, uniformed ana
drilled, but while highway robberleS
diminished, in number burglaries
were still committed.
"Jack the Ripper" Was never run
down. His identity is still unknown.
yet he committed the brutal murders
in the most densely populated dis
trict in the British metropolis.

BRYAN'S CHANGING VIEWS

Any views expressed by William
Jennings Bryan are, of course, those
of purely private citizen and are
not to be invested with an Importance
greater than that which attaches to.
the opinion of any one not in pub
lie life as the Philadelphia Record
suggests. His advocacy of Prohibi-,
.tion, woman suffrage and other.
causes regarding which there are
legitimate differences of opinion
cannot be assumed for a moment to
express the thought of the Democra-
tic party, which: has favored State
rather. than Federal actien in such
matters the party is TO change its
attitude toward ssthsse issues the de-
cision will be made by the President
Of the United States and by the

1t is difficult to predict what Mr..
Bryan's stand viii Be on certain i'm,
por rttsrt questions, When he returned
from his trip around the world in n.
1905 he strongly urged the policy Of
Government Ownership of railroads
as one of The lessons impressed upon
him in his travels. Previous to 3. '5l;lt
he had been vigorous advocate . Of
State ownership of the roads.:ts On
Thursday he appeared before a Con-
gressional Committee, where he an
nounced that he had changed his
mind on the question of Government
ownership and was now opposed to
more effective Federal regulation,
He foresaw possible great dangers
from this and was not disposed to
admit that State regulation had
proved failure. A divided response
bility seemed to be his ideal.
OF Course, Mr.. Bryan is entitled to
hold any views he pleases on any
conceivable question, just as every
other person is. Nobody would wish
to check the expression of his opln-
ions, which are often interesting and
instructive, but it should always be
REMEMBERED that he speaks solely as
a private resident, of Lincoln, Neb''
