Of The Bee: The national convention and

tionists will be held at St. Paul. Mimi. July

To the fact that the state Of Nebraska has
dry campaign on for this fall and that
the prohibition party In the state decided
to put up no state ticket, but put all It's
energies into the campaign through the dry
federation, the matter Of conventions may be
lost sight Of BY the party prohibitionists.
We have nominated an electoral ticket, thus
keeping the party organization In touch
with the national, and the regular state con.
vention will be held according to law, on
Tuesday, July rs, 1915. The call 10 for
Q o'clock p. M. at the Lindell hotel In LIN

titled to one or more delegates. and the pro-
hibitionists are asked to get together on
Saturday, July l5, and nominate the requisite
number. These county meetings should be
held in the county seats. The conventions
will have the usual business Of the party to
attend to, but 1t will be utilised to create
a. much enthusiasm within the ranks. az
may be possible, for the dry campaign.
The state committee has followed instruc-
tions given last fall by the prohibltionists
and made no effort to raise funds for it,
party work, has placed no nominees on the
state ticket. other than those Of presidential
electors and delegates to the national con.
vention. It has turned over It's funds to
the drt federation for use in the campaign,
and In every way possible has aided the
workers thereof. It Is proposed to keep up
the party organization, for no one can fore.
cast the future and we must b prepared

Of The Bee: have been drawing pension
for many years. but the enclosed tnotice that
exhibit Of pension certifcAts will no longer
be required 10 the most open and hagrant
bid for the votes Of pensioners I have ever
noticed Note how very DESTROYS the i'd.
ministration Is that the pensioners should BE-

to love the pensioners all over. His tardy
affection III comports with the record Of the
democratic party. a. such. And Grover
Cleveland was more honest than Wilson. He
suspended thousands Of US, but had to re.
instate about 500 Of every thousand he sus.
pended. This extremely cheap bid for the
old soldier vote has not even the merit Of
the good of the public service. It was right
and proper that the pensioner should exhibit
his certificate. No pensioner who WA
good citizen could complain at the regulation.

Cleaning Up on the Careless.

Acting Police Judge Kubat is doing good
work, seeondins the motion Of The Bee that
something be done to induce the careless autoist
to show some respect for the traffic rules and for
the rights of the simple folks. who still have to
walk Omaha's traffic rules are very reasonable
and eight out Of ten automobile drivers find COM
pliance Is easy. 1t is the other two who make
the trouble. They either do not think or do not
care, and the result is disarrangement of street
traffic that is dangerous. The activity Of the po-
lice in bringing these offenders to account is eff
fort well applied. The moderate fines imposed by
the police judge are simply as reminders to first
offenders that they are not observing the law nor
fulfilling their obligations 40 citizens. So far the
lesson has been salutary, for none have appeared

A Needed Reform--Push It Along.

The Bee rejoces to see the Lincoln Journal
coming out strong for a reform measure which
we proposed in the last legislature az part OF
our short ballot program. What we asked the
lawmakers to do was to provide for the sub
division of counties with more than one repre-
sentative in the legislature and for their election
hereafter, one to district This would give each
state senator or representative definite consti-
tuency and further would reduce the choice Of
each voter to one member Of the senate and one
member Of the house. respectively. The Journal
appears to have been brought around by the un-
oscapable logic Of the present system, which
punches the nominations and altogether deprives
the rafal areas Of any place on the ticket, and
makes geographic distribution Of candidates abso-
lutly impossible After describing Lancaster
county difficulties, says that paper now;
1t is only necessary, to avoid this trouble, to
have the legislature provide for the sub-district
ing of legislative districts having more than
one member This would divide Lancaster
county into six districts for the election Of its
quota Of representative. giving each sixth Of
Der. In addition to securing the desired candi-
dates, this plan would shorten the ballot and
ease the voters task Each voter would then
have to inform himself as to only one candidate
for the legislature, whereas he has now TO deal
with six. The change would be an especial
boon to Douglas county, where the list Of legis.
lative candidates i impossibly long, and would,
no doubt, result in vast improvement in the
legislative timber sent up from that county.
This Is an easy and beneficial beginning for the
short ballot.
Had the Journal and others interested in legis.
iative reform lent their support when the measure
was pending last year, we believe It might have
been enacted, for il was sidetracked on the Rimsy
excuse that the plan eonAicted with that part Of
the constitution providing that the legislature
shall make the apportionment at its first regular
session after each census enumeration, "but At no
other time" as il a reapportionment were being
proposed instead Of merely change in the meth
Cd Of election, leaving the apportionment pre-
cisely the same. We hope to see the next iesis-
lature take up this part Of the short ballot pro-
gram and put Il through and we welcome the
assistance Of The Journal to that end.
