Mr.. Bryan's Regularity.

Nebraska democrats will feel that we are
doing them favor we know, in bringing to
their attention a letter written by William Jen-
nings Bryan to the Washington correspondent
OF the New York Evening Post, who quotes
from Il as follows with reference TO support OF
opposition to the reelection Of President Will
son:
have never done anything 10 justify the sus-
picion that would not support the ticket My support
OF Parker at least ought 70 raise presumption In
favor OF my regularity. AZ am asking nothing and
nothing except opportunity to work for the
reforms in which interested feel that can
take my own time. and in speaking on the subject
be governed by my own judgment
And in another place he Declares
have no enemies 10 punish and no friends whom
would be willing to reward at the expense OF the
country tho party
While the citation now of the Parker
episode, preceded as It was by the consignment
OF Belmont-Ryan campaign Doodle to Nebraska
and followed as II was by the disastrous de-
feat OF Parker and the whole democratic
ticket, may be far from reassuring, 1t is cir
cumstantial evidence. at least. that Mr.. Bryan
will remain regular" in presidential elections,
because he has always been regular" and
has taken such decided exception to democrats
who refused to remain regular" on the three
occasions in which he, himself, ran for presi-
dent.
But the suggestion is not. we fear, conclu-
sive as to whether this regularity OF Mr..
Bryan will include anything besides the pres-
Dental ticket. His bolt Of Mayor Jim" when
he captured the nomination is ominous for the
democratic gubernatorial nominee this year.
In case II Is anyone else than Brother Char
ley" And a. for the senator, there is no GER
tainty that Bryans acceptance of Wilson for
another term will include him, even though the
senator succeeds in attaching himself to the
presidential coat-tails
Incidentally. let no one overlook the OBJ
servation. 81 want nothing except an oppor-
tunity to work for the reforms in which am
interested" which must not be construed into
meaning that Mr.. Bryan abjures his right to
claim the patronage for deserving democrats"
and that none are deserving--at any rate. in
Nebraska-who have not been steadfastly de-
voted to the Bryan political fortunes. II the
| president would take this remark at face value,
he might Jar loose the long hung-up political
piums without further enforced "watchful

The awatohful waiting Record.

President Wilson has reported to the senate.

names OF seventy-sx American citizens who
have been murdered In Mexico during his time
In office. He also informs the senate that az

tons" we're made to Carranza, to villa, or to
someone equally interested. Beyond these
representations no effort was made to
secure protection that would guaranty safety
OF life or property in Mexico. Yet 10000
Americans had made their homes across the
border on invitation Of the Mexican govern
ment, and more than billion Of dollars Of
American money was invested there in various
productive enterprises.
No reckoning is made by the president OF the
unspeakable outrages against American women

Something in the pathetic figure OF the
fugitive king of Serbia will enlist and hold the
sympathy OF Americans. Peter is an old man,
broken in health and fortune, but filled with a
spirit that lifts him above his present and
looks to the future with the faith that is born
OF freedom. His plight is a portion of the
price war exactB. He looms nobler in retreat
than he would in submission. His gratitude
to Americans, gracefully expressed. is surely the
sentiment Of his scattered people. who appre-
ciate what has been done for them by the only
nation that could afford succor in their ex-
tremity.
Might does not yet make right, and the
sturdy peasants of Serbia may yet have a
chance at that freedom they dearly cherish.
Austria's perplexity Of administration will only
be increased by suzerainty over Serbia. An
other Bohemia. on a smaller scale, but quite as
determined, will not make the double crown
of the Hapsburg house sit more easily. Even
in defeat, King Peter may look ahead a little
and gain some consolation from the reasonable
promise OF the future.

With all Europe supplied with the best
Of modern equipment and fig.iJing with
hatred handed down from many centur-
les. IL behooves US to maze sure of our
strength.
Most thrones today. as Of old, are main
tanned to glorify the head that wears
crown and directs the welding OF the
sword. But little attention Is paid to
a weakling; to be respected and make
advancement we must be strong; this is
true In q general way let US take heed
to observe.
There Is only one thing that can over
come force without reason, and that is
force with reason. a small nation well
prepared can command respect, while a
large nation unprotected might lose
prestige Belgium. Servia and Monte
negro are overrun for the sole reason
that they are not strong enough to cope
with the enemy; while little Holland,
with its natural fortiflcations-the dykes
can preserve its neutrality. We saw
Turkey at the Dardanelles defy a great
fleet. We see China with its 400. 900
people bowling to the mandates Of Japan

Probably there is not a government in
the old world that would not rejoice to
see all other nations disarm, but not one
OF them would OF their own accord cast
away their implements OF warfare.
Locked in this broad domain, there is
means TO preserve and improve our
every greatness II we WILL and to extend,
II we desire. the influences and benefits
of our progressiveness TO other lands.

the worlds most precious gifts. we
