Hastings Tribune: We note that The Omaha
Bee has not given up the idea of having pipe
line run from the oil fields of Wyoming to Ne

Bryan's New Program of Paramounts.

Mr.. Bryan's announcement of a new program
OF paramount issues invites attention According
to his own statement, he proposes, through the
democratic party Of course, to constitu-
tional amendments for women's suffrage, nation
wide prohibition, for direct popular election of
president and for an easier method of changing
the constitution. Negatively, he will promote
peace by fighting "the spirit Of mitarism' and
will also oppose exclusive federal control OF rail-
road regulation.
The peculiar features Of the new paramounts
are their Standardization and their conflict with
Mr.. Bryan's own previous professions. II Mr..
Bryan has stood for any political principle, it has
been for the democratic states rights idea as
against the nationasm that looks to strengthen
the federal government and extend its scope of
action. Yet no more far-reaching steps in CEN
tralization could be suggested than direct popu-
lar election of presidents, prescription Of suf-
fragc qualifications by the federal instead of the
state government and the forcing of prohibition
upon all the states, whether they favor it or not
That part Of the program may be in line with
the nationasm OF Roosevelt and Hughes, but it
is certainly opposed to the states rights philos-
ophy OF the democrats from Jefferson and jack
son down to Wilson. H
When Mr.. Bryan sets himself up against fed
eral control OF railroad regulation and against
federal as distinguished from state jurisdiction
over the national defenses, he goes back to demo-
cratic ground, though at the very point where
least maintainable. As to the railroads, it is
not theory, but condition, that confronts us,
for our system Of railway transportation is phys-
cally one recognizing state lines no more than it
does county lines and its operation knows no
difference between interstate and interstate busi-
ness. 1t is only question how soon railroad
regulation by forty-nne different and conflicting
authorities must be discontinued. In the matter
OF control Of military defenses, en- the other hand
there is perhaps more room for honest disagree
ment but the pending experiment with the Ma
tional Guard on the Mexican border has led
many to believe that the present democratic ad-
ministration will itself soon formulate and cham
pion some plan for more complete national con-
troll
1t may be safely put down that Mr.. Bryan's
new program will not have smooth sailing and
il will not be in any way surprising if, long be-
fore the first item is put over he embraces an
early opportunity to turn his eforts to some still
different direction. ..-

England's Strong Man"

David Lloyd-George, who popularity has been
hailed by his followers as "England's strong
man" comes TO power at time that will call for
all his strength. The British empire is facing
the gravest crisis that has confronted its states
men in longer than century. Moreover the
external dangers are aggravated by internal dis
sensions, which have reached such a height that
party government is not at the moment possible,
and therefore the administration must be intrusted
to cabinet made up OF politically opposed ele-
ments. A strong man is needed to force con-
certed action where harmony is hopeless.
Nor will the continuation OF the coalition gov
eminent go far to relieve Lloyd-George OF re-
sponsbty he cannot divide. He may share with
Andrew Bonar-Law the choice OF ministers, but
lis own stand on the point Of control of the war
council will embarrass him. He is committed,
in the case of Asquith, to the independence OF
the war council from the domination of the pre-
rer 1t was on this issue he overthrow his pred
ecessor as prime minister. Following his own
contention, he must give over his direction OF the
empires activities in the war or stutify himself
at the outset OF his administration. However,
statesmen have been known to reserve them
selves, and Lloyd George may find way to do
this and save his face
The new premier is aware Of the tremendous
task before him and is sufficiently astute to rec
ognize the delicate position in which he is placed.
He has one invaluable asset, the confidence OF the
people, and popular support will give him much
courage in his great undertaking.

Neao York Police HINTS



l. Don't run across streets through heavy traf-
fc The busiest man | know wastes at least
thirty minutes day; why risk your life to save
FIVE seconds crossing the street?
g. Never attempt to cross street with
bundle or umbrella over your head or reading
newspaper. Either hides oncoming vehicles from
your view
B. Stand still if you get caught in traffic jam.
1t may save your life
To drivers:
|. Your responsibility does not end with the
honking of the horn when others are in your
path.
2, Your automobile may be under control, but
how about the other fellow'sa He may be a
crazy man. You don't know
Precautions against burglars and pickpoekets:
|. When you leave your house, don't advertise
the fact by pulling down the shades or by leav-
ing a note in the letter box saying that you will
be back at such and such time. Sneak thieves
profit by such advice 1t is an invitation for them
to enter.
2. Don't be too eager to pull out your watch
and give the time OF day to everybody who asks
you for Ut. That's good opportunity for some
body to grab it and run.
5. Don't carry your handbag suspended by a
strap from your wrist. Hold it tightly in your
hand. This prevents thieves from opening the
bag or pocketbook and extracting your money
or valuables from it
Miscellaneous advice:
/. Respect your neighbor as much as your
self. Don't beat your rugs or stir up ashes so
that dirt will be blown into his apartment to fall
on his food or be breathed by him.
q Buy by standard weight or measure not by
basket or prepared package.
g. When you crime committed or OBJ
serve suspicious person or condition, notify the
police at once. The more you cooperate with the
police the more the police can accomplish for
you.
4. Regard the policeman as your best friend
You are paying him to keep your street safe and
orderly He is entitled to your help.

Roumania in the War.

The sorry plight Of Roumania excites wonder
ment as to why King Ferdinand entered the war.
The facility with which the Germans have ad-
vanced to the occupation Of the desirable portion
Of the kingdom, including il capital, is an indica.
ton of its inability to make serious resistance.
So far any effect its presence in the may have
had on the cause of the entente allies is negative
King Ferdinands declaration at the entrance OF
his government into the conflict was such as lost
for him any sympathy that might have been
shown, had he been forced to take part for rea-
sons other than those Of lust Of conquest. His
dream Of compensating himself through seizure
OF anothers territory has been dissipated. No
matter what the final issue may be, the Balkan
countries will find their general situation but lit
tie improved They will receive just such treat
ment as the great powers Of Europe may deem
expedient, German control will be the deciding
factor in this settlement and the German aspi-
rations in the Near East do not warrant much of
promise for Roumania, Also, Russia's ambition
to add the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles to
waters under domination of the car has had an
other setback, and may by the presence of Ger
many in Bucharest be delayed for many years.

1t is certainly about time this pro-
vision of the constitution was put IN
operation. 1t is not insisted that the
south permit the colored men to vote
regardless of their qualifications, but
1t is VIGOROUSLY unfair and dishonest
that, while denying the black man the
right Of suffrage, the white men OF the
south should be permitted to vote Tor
them. Without this vote wilson
would have been decisively defeated IN
the recent presidential election ana
the incoming house Of representatives
would be strongly republican instead
Of almost tie.
A mere knowledge of the facts l
have stated should certainly result IN
righting the outrageous wrong. In
the political game" the democratic
party should not be permitted to play
with loaded dice" The vote of one
man in Mississippi or South Carolina,
for example, should not be equivalent
to the vote of two or three men in
Minnesota and the other northern
states, as Is now the case. The claim
of majority of the popular vote for
President Wilson is a travesty when
such majority is due, as it is, to the
suppression of the vote in the south
that would have been cast against him.
In the states where there was "a free
ballot and a fair count" there was an
overwhelming majority against him of
both the electoral and popular vote.
