The Battle OF the "Bills.

Nebraska's unterrhed at St. Louis gave
the nation an impressive illustration OF the peace
and harmony prevailing in democratic councils
hereabouts. "Bill' Price and Bill" Thompson
locked horns in struggle to the death for place
on the platform committee, continuing the row
that has been present since first bill" Bryan
dawned on the sky of Nebraska politics. "Bilr
Oldham also figured in the rumpus as an active
participant. That it was finally ended by giving
the Job to Judge Thomas, who didn't get to be dis
trict attorney for Nebraska isn't going to heal
the breach. II doesn't matter much, for neither
side Is willing to give up. Only the lust for Of
fee ever brings them together. The split will
not be closed this time, for Mr.. Bryan will not
let it, and the state candidates now look dsconso-
lately to November, when they will reap the har-
vest that Is sown at the Battle OF the Bills"

"watohful Waiting Coming to an End.

Washington authorities are plainly disturbed
over the turn taken in the affairs OF Mexico.
Carranza has convinced even his great and good
friend, Mr. Wilson, OF his insincerity and ncapac-
ity, and so ends the chapter Of ''Watchful Wait
ing" that may properly be captioned Miserable
Meddlng." What the next chapter will be can
only be surmised, but the situation is one that
leaves little room for guess work The point is
near at hand where President Wilson will have to
supplement his admonitions with something de-
cidedly more effective than words, no matter
how brave they be, or to finally act on the advice
he has given his countrymen and let the Mexi-
cans settle the matter among themselves. This
latter course, unfortunately, is frausht with much
danger, the Mexcans having little respect for the
"fordable river" on this side Of which lies much
to tempt them into violation Of neutrality that
means nothing to them. All Of which forces the
conclusion that more dgnifed and definite at
titude must be taken by our government towards
Mexico, and very shortly.

To where on cleaning streets the traffic

Whose light has touched my darkness

But, as cross does press pinioned soul,

Where blatant warning, steel and tone re-

Hoarse tunes meet for a DEVILS dance,

Pledged to the Budget System.

One plank in the republican platform will
draw steadily increasing attention as its mpor-
lance comes to be better understood 1t is the
pledge of the party to adopt the budget system
for the business administration OF the affairs of
the country. Aside from the very vital considera-
ton Of economy that can be secured only through
this means, the budget system has other attractive
features which must commend il to all who are
familiar with national affairs Under the present
method no continuing program is possible. for
the reason that all appropriations must originate
in the house of representatives and no congress
can take action binding its successor. This means
that great public works Of any kind must be
wholly provided for by the congress with which
they are begun or be subject to possibility OF
changes by subsequent sessions. That this method
leads inevitably to delays, to extravaganza and to
inefficiency the experience Of the government has
many times proved
budget can be made continuing, and under
its operation provision for carrying on definite
programs for construction and improvements are
possible. Such system will do away with the
perennial farce Of the rivers and harbors bill the
public buildings bill, and other measures to which
attaches the faint Of pork" and will also permit
definite policy for expenditure in connection
with national defense. Administration of the
business affairs Of government will be given more
the aspect Of business and less Of politics, for the
very good reason that politics Of the peanut var-
ETY. will cut less figure in the big appropriation
measures.
The plan is not urged as novelty at this
time. II was seriously proposed by the last re-
publican administration, and rejected by the demo-
Gratis, who controlled the house. as subversve Of
their constitutional prerosative. But the budget
is business and will prevail
