Many persons taken to be bandits are
to be seen. usually singly. in the lone
some foothills and mountain passes to
the west OF the road which runs rast
the northern environs of Guzman.
These bandits. according 20 the people
Of this section, are usually seen leading
their horses to the limited watering
places located In the ravines Of the foot

There is scarcely a sound along the

THAT he has opposed the coming out of

looked for in the German naval policy
and that the recent appearance Of Ger

that preparations are being made for

A Short Ballot Recruit.

Friends of the short ballot movement will
welcome the active assistance Of a powerful re-
cruit in the Chicago Tribune. The Tribune may
perhaps have favored the short ballot heretofore,
but it is now spurred on by the lesson Of the re-
cent election, to take up the demand and put
punch into it. Nowhere has the case been better
stated than in these words OF the Tribune:
If the people are to control their political
machinery must not be SO complicated that the
average man cannot follow its workings
When the voter is given a ballot such as
the one he struggled with last Tuesday he cam
not vote on his own knowledge on most OF
the offices. He must vote on faith or not at all,
except in the most conspicuous cases.
The result is not the expression OF the pop
ular will Candidates are nominally chosen by
the people, when in fact the people have been
compelled to choose blindly. The, political
machines have chosen these men and the people
have accepted them passively.
The multiplicity OF elective officers is not
democratic but anti-democratic. II weakens
both the responsibility of officials and the re-
sponsibility OF citizens. We must make gov
eminent as simple and responsible as possible.
II we do not we shall never have popular self
government.
These arguments. with variations, have been
urged by The Bee time and again, but will bear
constant repetition, until the needed reform is
accomplished, whether it comes all at once OF is
attained only by degrees.

Il Tammany Really Dead,

"Tammany Is deadr proclaims the New
York World. THAT Is the true significance of the
election returns from New York City" Which
information Is. indeed, interesting il true, But
Il will take more than this assurance to COM
vince the people Of its truth. The fact is that
Tammany has more feline qualities than the
proverbial cat with nine lives. for Il has been
killed over and over again and pronounced po-
1itically dead more often even than has William
Jennings Bryan, himself, yet has none the less
bobbed up as big as ever to do business again at
the old stand. The World seems to have per-
suaded itself that in the next municipal election
"the stampede to avoid the Tammany nomination
for mayor will tax the resources of the police
reserves Here we have prediction and test
We shaiise how dead Tammany really is by the
time New York City gets ready to choose an
other set Of municipal officials next year.

THE ETERNAL PLAY.

Richard lie Galiienne In Harper's Magazine.
Third act of the eternal play!
In poster-like emblazonries,
Autumn once more begins today
IT'S written all across the trees
In yellow letters like Chinese.
How many hundred centuries
Hath run this play. with ne'er pause!
That which this living audience sees
Thrilled all the dead to wild applause
And yet the strange old drama draws.
Not all alike adjudge the play:
Some laugh. some weep. and some
there be
Deem the old classics had its day.
And some scarce any Of its see.
Nodding In witless apathy. y
And others more than all the rest
One act out Of the four prefer
Spring, In her wind-flower draperies drest,
Or Summer with her bosom bare;
Winter than these some deem more fair.
Sorae, may hap melanoholic deem
Autumn the meaning of the play
The smile that says, TWAS all a dream!"
The sigh that says II can but stay
A little while, and then away
The rustlng robe Of Joy that ends,
The moon-cold kiss upon the brow,
The fading sail of sea-sped friends,
The love that is another's now.
The voice that mourns "Ah! where art
thou?"
For all her purple and her gold.
Autumn hath such a tale to tell
The tale that tells us all Is told; =
Yea! but she tells 1t wondrous we'll,
Weaving strange hope into her spell:

starving.
In four years from this time all
parties will have to adopt prohibition
In their platforms, as they now do in
most prohibition states. 1t will be not
only the paramount but the dominant
issue by that time Woman suffrage
will stand next in Importance. Both
parties kow-towed to 1t in 1916; both
will have to adopt it in 1920.
The next administration will have no
easy job. The European war will
close and England will establish
government in Mexico, II we do not.
Mr.. Wilson has not prevented war,
only postponed It, We must protect
life and property in Mexico or give up
the Monroe doctrine and cease to be
world power. When Europe gets
through with its war it will no longer
suffer its subjects to be killed and its
property destroyed as the United
States has pusilanimously done for the
last four years There is little to hope
from Mr.. Wilson on this line He
sacrifices all for peace, Justice, honor
and national dignity. This country
needed change Of administration to
meet the momentous issues that must
soon arise, but it has lost its oppor-
tunity by standpat conservatism.
The United States was never so
prosperous as ii is today. There is
no real scarcity in products; there is
money to burn, and yet the common
people are having hard struggle to
live. Something is wrong; there is
screw loose somewhere and the ma
chinery will be wrecked If it is not
frightened. Let us not be deceived by
our apparent prosperity. There Is
silent but tremendous discomfort in
little, unincorporated business A
cataclysm is not far off. when Rome
was at the zenith of her glory. a NOR
tai disease was upon her vitals."

Elections Cost Too Much

Once more at the conclusion OF long drawn
out presidential campaign the thought will occur
to most people that these contests begin too early
demand too much time and cost too much energy
and money.
June conventions are survival OF stage
coach days when communication was slow and
difficult Under existing conditions there is no
necessity for making nominations before Septem-
Der. and month devoted to the consideration
OF the claims of candidates and parties should
be ample. Formerly vast sections OF the country
were difficult Of access. Today there is hardly
hamlet from coast to coast that is not in touch
with or within easy reach of the telegraph, the
railroad and the printing press.
Campaigns OF unnecessary length involve
more than useless expense and labor. They are
distracting to all the usual activities of life; they
lead to repetition; and to escape the tiresome-
ness Of repetition, they encourage the unscrupu-
lous to promote archaic elcctioneering devices
that do no credit to anybody.
The American people are at all times well
informed politically. Having had an opportunity
to examine any candidates record for four or five
weeks. their knowledge OF the general situation
should fit them for an intelligent expression OF
opinion in less than four or five months.

Omaha, Nov. 12.-To the Editor of
The Bee: This has been an election of
surprises and has nullified the prophe-
cies of the most skilful campaigners.
Logically and historically, Hughes
should have been elected: not that Mr..
Wilson made conspicuous failure, but
because of the distress caused by high
prices, for which he and his party,
however. are in no way responsible.
They lowered the tariff to lower prices,
but the monopoly maintained by the
''gentlemen's agreement" completely
nullifies that action. 1t would be the
same II every article Of commerce were
put on the free list Tariff under
monopoly no longer has anything to
do with retail prices, Mr.. Wilson has
no more responsibility for high prices
than with the weather; but the party
in power must always bear the blame
of hard times, whether responsible or
not. According to. past history, this
administration ought to have gone
down under the present pressure of
high prices. The Adamson law was
a serious mistake and greatly weak
ened Mr.. Wilson's grip on the people.
His weak policy toward European
belligerents and especially Mexico. in
spite of the laws he steam-rolled
through congress, greatly weakened
him In the estimation of patriotic men.
With all these things against him,
why was he not defeated?
Because the republicans did not or
ganize a good campaign against him.
In the first place, they did not make
concessions enough to the progress
sives. II Hiram Johnson had been
nominated with Hughes, he would
have carried California and pulled the
ticket through. The cool treatment
given that great reformer alienated
that state and gave 1t to Wilson. The
republican party was defeated, not by
Wilson's popularity, but by standpat
conservatism. If the breach of 1912
had been healed, as 1t might have
been, the G. o. p. would certainly
have been restored to power.
This Is not the only surprise Iowa,
a thoroughly dry state, elected Mr.
Harding, thoroughly wet candidate,
for governor. Nebraska went decis-
lively dry and yet elected a man gov
ernor who has the reputation of be-
ing wet. The fact that the state gave
prohibition rs, 900 majority and Hitch
cock $4,000 shows that many men can
still pillow with horse and an OK
hitched together.
The democratic party owes its sue
cess to its adoption of reform meas
ures advocated years ago by the pro-
hibition, the. socialistic and labor
parties. The republican party will
have to do the same or go to the po-
litical scrap heap.
Before the next presidential cleo
ton there will be an industrial, eco
nomic and political revolution that
will require a new political alignment.
Now that tariff, supply and demand no
longer control prices-that combines
! and monopolies are making it almost
| impossible for the common people to
| live-we must have commission to
| control prices of food, raiment and

Car Shortage and Freight Rates.

One OF the most recent arguments advanced
in support OF an increase in freight rates is the
present car shortage. II is now contended that
the revenues OF the roads are so low in time OF
business depression that it Is impossible to ac-
quire sufficient equipment to meet the demands
when business Is expanding This point is very
plausibiy set forth, but holds about as much of
real merit as most Of the propositions presented
to bolster up the higher rate campaign. While
specifically attractive and apparently sound, ex-
animation generally dscloses fundamental
weakness.
The car shortage argument raises question
in economy Is II desirable that the public shall
pay for extra box cars that must be idle and I'M
productive during good part Of the time in
order that shipments may be expeditiously made
at certain rush seasons? Are we to add the
transportation industry to the list Of seasonal
occupations? The producers naturally want to
get their wares to the market at times when the
prices are in their favor Under existing condi-
tons the rush to market crops, live stock and
other farm produce necessitates storage at GER
tain points, which favors price manipulation and
CONTROL practice much complained Of. If it
were possible to meet the demands for shipment
Of goods, the plethora at the storage centers
would be still greater, and the consequent effect
on the price to the producer would very probably
be the opposite 81 what 10 sought. He would find
himself on the market at time when the excess
Of supply over demand would have Its natural
result. and the purchaser with facilities for stor-
age would reap any advantage that might grow
out Of early marketing No good would come
