es though none too optimistic, view
the Rumanian situation calmly taking
the attitude that it is Rumania's next
move. The feeling is that the central
powers have done every thing pos
sible to meet Rumania's views, and
that Rumania, in persisting in the
course desired by the entente and
her own oXpansionist party. will find
the central powers ready. in which
event it Is to be expected every ef-
fort will be made to insure that The
now war theater is on Rumanian soil.

the negotiations concerning ltalys
claims before that nation entered the
war, has been at no time disposed to
offer RGmania similar concessions for
fear that this again would be mis-.
taken for sign of weakness. At this
moment there is not discernible the
slightest effort TO persuade Rumania
ct any other course than one due to
her own initiative. The latest dis.
patches from bucharest indicate 4
further cooling off OF the war fever.

The cost of elections is a matter
that disQuiets all who desire coed
government. It may cost thousands
to get elected even to a minor state
Office. theoretically poor man can
be chosen to anything, but practically,
since we have direct primaries, bar
rel is more of qualification than ever.
There is no question about this.
The adoption OF the direct primary
plan puts a premium on the wealthy
