Litchfeld independents: When Bry-
an resigned from Wilson's cabinet the
big interests and their newspaper
mouthpieces declared with one accord
that this time Bryan had surely elm
mated himself as political power in
the country. They had told the same
thing dozens Of times before, but now
the Nebraska statesman had effective
" cooked his own goose, sure enough.
Bryan today is q greater factor than
ever before in legislation. Congress
will scarcely make any big move un-
less it has VIM. j. Bryan's endorse

Princeton Union: Under the pro-
visions of measure introduced in
congress by Representative Smith, Of
Minneapolis postmasters are obliged
to furnish to anyone who may desire
the information q list of names Of the
subscribers to papers and periodicals
circulating through any postoffice. His
excuse for introducing this bill is that
certain business men desire it so they
can secure a list Of names, but it is
very evident that motive more sin
lister than that is responsible for its
introduction. Anyway, it is damn
able attempt to encroach upon the

REPRESENTATIVE DECKER SAYS
! STEPS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO /
! h AVOID BREAK DESPITE
/; PRESIDENTS VIEWS.
Will SON Determined TO
y UPHOLD CITIZENS RIGHTS
Executive 10 Said to BE Resolved That
Americans Shall Travel as They
See Fit-To Settle Dispute With
Germany Without Prolonged
Negotiations.

washington, Feb. "a. - Declarina
himself in favor of the McLemore res
olution which calls upon the president
to issue public warning against Am.
orleans taking passage in armed lin.
ers of belligerent nationality, Repre-
sentative Decker voiced, as he says,
the fears of many of his colleagues in
congress by saying:
II fear we are on the brink of war
and we should avoid it if possible.
No Democrat is more willing than I
to uphold the hands of the president,
but believe this is step that should
be taken without regard to his views"
Views of President Known.
This reference to the presidents
Views was thoroughly understood
as administration officials have ex.
planned that the executive is not in
sympathy with the McLemore resolu-
ton, being determined that the rights
OF Americans to travel as they see fit,
within the generally accepted provi-
sions of international law, shall not
be violated by any power. Then, too,
came the further statement that the
president is opposed to this and all
similar resolutions, because he fears
adoption would embarrass him in the
conduct of the German negotiations.
Would Warn Americans.
Early in the day agitation developed
in congress for action warning Amer
leans off armed ships of the European
bellfgerents and as the session ad-
vanced grew to such proportions that
Democrats Of the foreign affairs COM
mittee late in the day voted to can
vass the sentiment of the house on
several pending resolutions of that ma.
ture. Sentiment in the senate in favor
OF some such action, also was openly
expressed. .- ..,
Rumors Are Denied.
Rumors were widely circulated that
the situation had reached point
where the president soon would lay IT
before congress, and that a time had
been fixed within which the United
States would expect Germany to sig.
nifty her intention to abandon the an.
nounced program to sink armed mer-
chant ships without warning. In ans.
wer, however, the statement was made
officially that nothing has been deter.
mined upon and that the situation.
though grave, still is waiting one,
and that no final position will be an.
bounced until Berlin is heard from.
Break Means War.
From apparently authentic sources
came statements that the president is
determined the dispute with Germany
shall be settled without prolonged ne.
gotiations. He is known to believe,
however, that the breaking off of dip
lomatic relations with Germany means
war, and there will be no undue haste
in handling situation involving such
possibility.
The administration view is that a
broad and important principle is in
volved in the right of Americans to
travel on belligerent merchantmen and
that this right must not be abandoned.

Commenting on G. G. Daniels re-
port of his successors doings in the
White Earth cases, Attorney General
Gregory only remarked that the De-
partment Of Justice has full confidence
in Mr.. Kearful. But how long will the
public have confidence in the Depart
ment of Justice? We have not yet
heard the other side Of the story
if there is another side-but for lay
man it IS not easy to see why the De-
partment of Justice should publicly
criticize G. G. Daniels for not getting
results, and then commend his success
sor for preventing them.

The Minneapolis napers and people
who are so anxious for a great army
and great navy ought to take a lit.
tie time off and clean up the city of
Minneapolis, which is fast achieving
the reputation Of being about the rot
tenest city III this country. The uni
versity, the parks, the art institute,
and other evidences Of civic progress,
simply throw the other situation into
higher relief. Of course, it is easy
to find scapegoats, and blame the
board of pardons, the board of parole,
and the judges, for the situation
which arises out Of local conditions.
The Minneapolis folks sowed the wind
and are reaping the whirlwind. The
great majority Of the police Of Mime
apolis, like those Of all large cities,
are honest, and will do their work if
politics and corrupt business let them
alone. Hold-up men are dangerous
and deserve punishment, but Minnea-
polls has had men who held up an
entire community, and these are styl-
ed captains Of industry. Let all who
offend receive the same treatment, let
every business man not ask a favor
he is unwilling someone else shall re-
ceive, let the police alone, and things
will improve.

Daradis' of the Midway News is so
generally correct on political history
that we are sorry to see him make the
statement that the democratic party
loves bosses and has always had them.
It is true that the democratic party
has had bosses, so-called, but it is also
true that there were always antago-
nists to those bosses, and they have
been overthrown, even in New York.
The Kelly-Doran regime went down
before . revolution in the party and
what has once occurred may occur
again. The democratic party has not
had, however. series of barons or
overlords, such as the protective tariff
created in the republican party, and
who are likely to combine with, or be
succeeded bv the barons Of the NUM-
tions industries. The republican party
had for years a line Of satraps in
many states as powerful as their fore
runners Of centuries ago. Paradis
knows that bosses are logical enough
in his party, which is Hamiltonian but
contrary to Jeffersonian philosophy,
VAieh still is, in spite Of mistakes and
turnines aside, living force in the
democratic party. sh5

The state editorial meeting was a
good one, characterized by more atten'
ton to business matters than to en-
tertainment. Entertainment, in fact,
was but a small part Of the meetings
Advocacy Of better business and edi-
torial standards was the ruling note.
The state association was about mort
bund for some years but appears Of
late years to have taken new life.
There was some politics, but that is
not strange, and harmless, since the
association as whole was not COM
mitted on any proposition where there
is political issue, and that was done
by individuals in an individual capa-
city.

The Third Division, formerly the third in size, has become the Sec ond and the Fourth, which leads at all elections before the present. is now tbe.third in size though it actually has increased. The Sec ond, which was the second in size during its palmy days, is now, as two years ago, the fourth.

Victoria, B. C., Nov. 16-Warn- ;ngs to look out for German sub marines are being flashed today all ever the Pacific Ocean to British and Japanese transpacifc, liners. Late last night the military au- ;hcrities received word from an unknown source, it coming by wire !ess from the ocean from some where, that two and probably more German submarines were off the coast of British Columbia in the path of steamers from Japan and Australia.
 Immediately upon receipt of the information, word was wired to Ot- tawa and reply was received au- thorizing that all transpacifiq liners be warned immediately.
 It Is believed here, also in Van couver, that the undersea divers tight have been shipped to some nar' of the Pacific Coast, knocked down, and then set up and are now engaged in submarine warfare.
