Gov. Bryan's Speech.

Two views may be taken of the
acceptance speech of Gov. Bryan, de-
livered last night at Lincoln. One is
that, having suddenly taken the lime
light almost Immediately after his
nomination by his declaration about
Defense day, he has. by his own
Nolition or by advice, chosen to con-
fine himself to gcneralitieS and an
analysis of the New York platform.
without striking out on any new lines
Of individual expression. The other
is that this speech represents the
man, as one who best expresses him
self in the terms of the accepted
pronouncement of his organization.
Whether it be the token of d discreet
associate candidate who has had one
fling and is willing or is under in
structions to have no more. or Of a
limited person who speaks as others
dictate or suggest, the Lincoln speech
portance.
BryanS nomination was dictated
by two considerations. One was the
supposed necessity of placating his
elder and more notable brother, who,
before the major nomination, had de-
Eounced John w. Davis as the
creature of big interests The
other was the need from the party
point of view to give some token of
concern for the Western voters.
Whether this concession to the older
Bryan was wise has been questioned.
Whether the concession to the
Western farmers was most effectu-
ally made in the selection of one who
has never been affiliated with the
agricultural interests save in politics,
and then only as a sort of family
connection, is matter Of doubt But
last night Gov. Bryan did his utmost
to qualify as the farmers friend.
And Brother William took occa sion
to declare in an interview that he
had been entirely wrong in his
the side Of getting the elder brother
In line, the nomination was effectual.
Gov. Bryan may be congratulated
upon his success in sticking to his
text, the Democratic platform. He
paraphrased it accurately. He could
not have been more emphatic in itA
praise if he had written it himself.
And, moreover, he promised more on
the same line. 1t is evident that he
will hold to this theme throughout
the campaign. His is to be the voice
Of the Democracy in the West, 80 far
as the platform is concerned.
Judged from the viewpoint Of
practical politics. the performance at
Lincoln was well managed. Bryan is
regarded by many people today as
possible President, owing to the
chance that the electoral college may
be deadlocked and that the House
may not be able to choose a Chief
Executive. 1t is not desirable, there.
fore, to keep the younger brother
very much in evidence. 1t is the
part Of good strategy to confine him
to the West and to the platform.
The only question Of interest is
whether this conforms to his idea Of
his own importance.

Collateral and Enforcement.

AS one means Of curing the pro.
tracted parking habit of the Washing
ton motorists the minimum collateral
for those taken on the charge of
overstaying the time limit is to be
increased from 81 to SO. If neces.
sary, the superintendent of police
declares, the maximum collateral will
be raised to $40.
One OF the reasons why the traffic
conditions in this city are as bad as
they are Is that collateral is taken in
very small sums from those caught
in violations of the rules. For a
trifling amount such a person may
escape Immediately from the police
tolls, and with an excellent chance of
not being required to appear in
uourr. 1nasmuch as the chances of
being caught are slight, owing to the
small force available for street patrol,
this small collateral is rated as
merely part of the cost Of keeping q
machine. and a very light rate for
the pleasure Of speeding and the
privilege Of free parking for all day
and all night In the streets.
With the collateral increased from
50 to SO, and with a maximum of $40
in prospect, there will be more
respect for the rules, which it is now
intended to enforce by a series of
block.to-block raids. II it costs SO q

kfasstn's BOastful Claims.
In q series Of speeches and inter-
views krassin boasted that Russian
grain had driven American grain
completely from Central Europe, Tur-
key and Greece and captured a large
part of the British and French mar
kets. The coming year, with it's mar
ketable surplus of thirteen and a half
million tons of grain, would, he
claimed, complete the conquest of
Europe, the superior quality of the
Russian grain enabling 1t to COM
mand a higher price than the Amer
lean and still hold the market.
It Is, however, not necessary to
take all that Mr.. Krassin says lit
orally. American wheat is still being
sold even in Germany. and as to
quality I remember that Krassin ne
gotiated an arrangement with France
earlier in the export campaign to
reduce the French import specifica-
tions because Russian grain did not
grade up to the French standards
for quality.

cusses the difficulties and defects of
