Conservation of Time in Congress

We endorse Speaker Clark's proposition to abolish the Congressional Record. At least would favor a reduction of the volume of it by cutting all speeches delivered in congress. well those for which leave to print is given. The Record though should be of all bills of their progress and of the vote all measures. We would favor. too 6 limitation of space in the galleries if that would deter large audiences which the speaker says incite windy members to forensic effort We would favor any reform looking to a reduction of the volume of tory in congress. It is. the speaker says time waster." There is no compensatng benefit. We do not suppose that speech delivered in in the last fifty has affected in the slightest de- gree the fate of any We do not imagine that single has been changed by all the wind that has swept through those gusty halls.
 We would except. of course, from this generaliza- tion, explanations by members concerning measures of local character of whose merits demerits other members have had opportunity be informed. These explanations necessarily brief and business like. They speeches in which even vain would feel any special pride if he should after ward see them in print
 The constituents of congressman seldom inter- ested in reading their speeches. All the to know is how tho members vote and the Rec ord would properly tell them that.

4 Government Nawsnansr

Mir Bryan's Commoner in it's November issue takes up his old idea of government newspaper which he says was first proposed by him almost year ago. We missed it at that time but as Mir. Bryan remem- bers it and indeed reproduces his original presenta- tion of the subject nothing has lost by the de- lay. It is virtue of Mir Bryan a sclSler both personally and intellectually. and can always depend upon getting his wisdom next year if he misses it this year.
 MT. Bryan has always been strong for having the government do everything that the American people have been in the habit doing for themselves This country has taken considerable pride in the fact that 1t has been free to provide it's own reading matter But Mir Bryan thinks that under system of indi- vidual initiative the find it impossible to se- cure the reliable information to which they are en- titled He says that the local press the space to furnish and the metropolitan press always disposed to furnish it mpartiay. It does not seem to have occurred to Mir. Bryan that most people newspapers of opposite political views and thus get the best each side has to offer speak of the well known fact that every considerable newspaper gives the days news it without the slightest regard for it's partisan qualities. Another thing over looked by Mir Bryan is that people do 80 much as they formerly did accept the moulded views of news papers or their interpretation of passing events.
 Mir. Bryans plan is for an offical paper published weekly or al sucn intervals may be decided upon and sent free to all postmasters state. county and city executives libraries colleges high schools periodicals other public centers of in- formation It tx also be furnished to ndi- vduas who may long for 1t they do for the Congressional Record. Tn regard to the management of this official sheet and the makeup of the itself, Mir. Bryan says:
 Without attempting go into detail it is sug- gested that board of three one appointed by the president selected by the majority party in the senate and house, acting jointly, and by the min ority party in the senate and house. acting jointly would give assurance that both sides would be prop ery represented in the control of the paper Congress could from time to time direct what be put into the paper and what should be left to the discretion of the managing board
 To make the plan complete certain amount of space should be left for editorial comment, and this space should be divided the parties represent ed in congress in proportion to each partys strength in congress This would enable the readers of the bulletin to know not only what being done but

The Jitney

The jtney is said to have had its origin in Phoe- nix though 1t has been chiefly developed in Los gees. where it has more seriously interfered with other means of transportation than anywhere else in the country The Electric Railway Journal notes that q complaint has been filed by the Pacific Electric Railway with the city council of Los Angeles against the irreguary of the jitney competition which dwin dles from 435 machines Clear day thirty five during rainy weather
 The trolley company sets forth that it could afford equipment and extra men for the rainy and then meet the competition of the jtneys during the period of clear weather It would not be bad plan for regulators of public utilities look into this complaint and establish schedules for the jitneys and the time make the railway companies observe their own schedules.
 The jitney in Phoenix the product of a strike against the street railway company. But in the jitney has thriven the shortcomings of the regular transportation If their service had met the public demand there would have been for the jitney. The average would rather ride in than In titney. but he often finds it more cPnvenieH to patonize the latter And then, he forms the habit.

How to Avoid Accidents

It Is not to be wondered that there are and automobile accidents in the streets but that there are so few of them considering the general lack of precaution taken against them, and the violation all most every moment of some important traffic regu lation.
 Many drivers of automobiles may be counted upon to avoid every possible avoidable accident. They know just what do in any emergency. They cool and they know we'll is possible to know. what some muddled or careless driver of another chine equally careless and befuddled pedes- trian is likely to do Yet accidents are sometimes forced upon the best and the careful of drivers
 There are comparatively few positively reckless automobsts, especially the down town streets. Drivers have in mind that their machines likely to be damaged in encounters and they know that possible expensive damage suit turks at every street crossing But there many drivers. careful and safe ordinarily. who lose their heads and nerves in the face of emergencies and hasten the very acci dents they are trying to avoid.
 The boy the bicycle, not every boy, but too many of them. disturbing elements. They dash in and out among machines paying attention whatever to the ordinary rules of the road this side of the street and now on that Motor-car drivers have to keep eye the bcycliss and thus their attention is diverted from of serious accidents.
 The nervous and uncertain pedestrian contributes the gray hairs of the automobile driver He the street he finds himself thinks he finds himself, in front of approaching He jumps forward and then backward making progress in either direction. Naturally he the atten- tion of the driver the neglect other possible of accidents in that vicinity. If the pedestrian would follow consistent course, either steadily in the direction or else come to full stop and maintain it. he would in no danger Not driver in a thousand would collide with him. But when he game of hide and-seek he is precpitating condition. filled with menace both for himself and the auto driver
 About all the school grounds in the city warning signs to automobists posted. Expert drivers as well all who naturally careful. drive slowly and keep children. but often pour pel nell across the and when a group of fifty or more the sidewalk the driver cannot tell when will dart in front of him while he is trying to watch the entire line

why it being done and at the time have the benefit of the views of the opposition.
 MT. Bryan has evidently thought of all essential points of his official paper and this is to how the people be made to read it. This is rather important point The cost of the paper would be practically nothing Mir. Bryan ntmates for the needed money would be charged against the national treasury and everybody knows that money flows into that receptacle from the skies.
 Before proceeding farther with this project would invite MT Bryan correspond with those citi- of Los Angeles who believed a few years ago that Municipal Newspaper would be avidly read there. An expensive plant installed but there is no Municipal Newspaper If such project could not succeed In Los Angeles at that time when 1t seemed that the entire population intensely inter- ested in the municipal government, there is place in the world where can succeed.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Gratitude and History

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 ] am no authority for interpreting the French consufs utterances to which. you adverted in a recent issue of your paper in an editorial. headed Gratitude and History That official would doubtless grant your conclusions de- served attention should 1t be that they come to his notice.
 l merely wish. in compliance with your request, to explain how a loyal Frenchman views the present friend ship of England in face of her former hostility.
 England has entered into the present struggle, first, 10 prevent the estab lishment of ruling power in Europe; second, to retain the mastery of the seas.
 She sided against Napoleon one hun dred years ago for identical reasons. And to inflict upon France the whip ping you so complaoently refer to, she had recourse to the assistance of Butcher and his Prussiaus, as she re- quires today the help of France to pre- vent the invasion of her own soil. IL is not discrediting England's poli- cies. neither Is it besmirching her honor to infer that on this as on other ! occasions. her attitude has been solely 1 determined by the welfare and safety of her own people.
 i Russia's participation in the conflict is incidental. Her interests are con 1 fined to the Balkans where neither England nor France have the remotest | concern.
 The relations between America and ! France are strikinEly different In their hour of grief the sister republics have come 10 each others assistance, for motives devoid of selfishncss France out of ideals of liberty. America out of ideal of humanity.
 This. well sir l dare say. is an argu i ment for peace that such happenings 1 be remembered
 As one of those whom you address as loyal Frenchman. as friend oi America. l take exception to the con clusions of your editorial.
 Sincerely yours,
 LOUIS ME1HOT,

BUlCARIANS ACCUSED OF BOLD BRIGANDAGE
Serbian Government Issues Statement Regarding Ov-
 cupation of Serbia.

CORFU, Greece.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press) "A long statement issued by the official Ser bian Bureau gives some alleged in stances of the manner in which the Bulgarians are pacifying the portions of Serbia which they now occupy.
 "We are able" says the statement, "to give information received from a reliable source regarding the manner in which the enemy. especially the Bulgarians. are ill-treating and at tempting to exterminate the inhabi- tants of Ol dand New Serbia.
 ''Brigandage is general, Germans and Bulgarians riyalling one another in footing. Soldiers are billeted on the inhabitants without payment and in spite of all protests. Several towns have been desolated by looters, Soplje. for example can no longer be recog- niZed. Houses have been destroyed or dismantled, all the woodwork hay ing been seized and given to the troops for fuel.
 '1n Old Serbia the inhabitants have suffered in the most inhuman manner. After having all their goods footed by lHt SOlultIS. lncli NiNtS anu uuuSh ters are violated In a village near Sopleje, two soldiers who had violated a young girl were killed by the inhabi- tants. All the inhabitants were held responsible for the alleged crime and had to answer for 1t.
 Serbian wounded soldiers who were found on the field of battle or in hos pitals and whose condition indicated that long and careful treatment would be necessary were pittilessly finished of. In some districts large numbers of inhabitants, particularly priests and school masters, were notified that they were to be sent to Sofia. Ii is generally believed that not one of them arrived in Sofia but that they were all massacred by the way. It has come a common saying whenever any one suddenly disappears to say that he has gone to Sofia As the hos pitals are all lacking sanitary equip ment, the Bulgarians announced some time ago that the wounded would be sent to Sofia. It is believed that they have all been killed.
 There was a massacre among the students at Soplje. Practically all the inhabitants of Old Serbia who had set tied in New Serbia have been killed together with many natives of that district. by order of General Voyadjefl and his son, the Perfect of Bitoli."

WEEKLY REVIEW.

NEW YORK. April S.-EXternal af- airs were t'fe features of absorbing interest during this weeks dull and heavy trading, in which quoted values recorded variable declines.
 Domestic news was somewhat con- fiicting. but mainly helpful, although leading trade authorities were plainly inclined to greater conservatism and the governments winter wheat report was quite the poorest in over de cade.
 Two points stood out in the weeks operations-the utter indifference of investment public toward the stock market. as such. and the obviously profes ssioral tone of the dealings in specU ve issues.
 Coppers and kindred stocks made only feeble response to the unabated demand for those products, including large. foreign orders and United States Steel was heavy despite the significant announcement of an early advance in rail prices.
