For a Short Ballot.

I Immediate steps to ahorto the ballot. Onr bien
nial elwtlons have riven us two elections In
one, ao that the voter here in Omaha eierclslng
Ma full right of suffrage hit Just been com
(died to make fifty-eight trots marks down a
strip of paper nearly five feet lone. Two years
hence, with presidential preference to record,
national convention delegate to select, presi
dential electors, I nited States senator and
judges to nominate, thirty-three additional
cross marks will be required, calling upon the.
voter In the 1014 primary to record from eighty
five to ninety choice, the only variable being
the number of constitutional amendments sub
mitted. Clearly this Is a load which will break
down our machinery of popular elections unless
uulckly lightened.

A short ballot lias become an Imperative
necessity for Nebraska voters.
Tb bull moose proved to be a very doclla
animal In the late Nebraska primaries.
Well, If the opposition of The Oec helped
him so much, he really ought to thank us for It.
In war, as In other things, the unexpected
sometimes happens, but the expected much
more often.
If there is any more comfortable place to be
In time of war than In Omaha, we cannot find
It on the map.
The French are Indeed beset with the woes
of war, now that one has been started on the
rartslan dress styles.

The marriage of Mies Rocks and Mr. Uold

As the first step toward a short ballot, The
Dee proposes submission by the coming legisla
ture of the following amendments to our state
constitution :
Article 111, Xertlon (Oni'is; legislative Ap
p.,ittonment ) The lslt'ir ahull at ita first
ifgilai fusion sftr "h enumeration of the In
hnhltsnt of the state made hy tha authority of the
I'nltrd fltutes, but at no othr time, apportion the
Ftnatore end rppt entntiva cofdlng to the num
ber of Inhabitants evrtitdlna Indians not taxed,
and aoldlers and officers of the t'nlted Htatea army
and navy: i.roi-tdd no d 1st i let shall hava more
than one senator jr one representative.
Arthle V, fie. Hon 1 (Officers; Tarma; ltl
dence Tha exefutlve drartment shall consist of
a governor, lieutenant Roxernor and three railway
commissioners to he elertd hy the people, and a
secretary f state, auditor of rubttc accounts, treas
urer, superintendent of publlo Instruction, attor
ney geneiwl, comm'esloner of public lands and
buildings snd three commlsstonere of state Institu
tions to be sppnlntsd by the governor and con
firmed by the state senate. Kacept as otherwlsr
herein provided, the elertlve esacutlva officers
shsll eat-h hold hla office for the term of two
jears from tha first Thursday after the first Tues
day In January next after his .eleotlon. and until
his successor Is etecl1 and Qualified, and the
appointive executive state of flee is shall each hold
his office for the term of two yesrs from tha first
Thursday after tha first Tues.lsy In February from
hla appointment, and until his successor Is ap
pointed and qunllflcd. All exerirtlvn stata offi
cers, except the lieutenant governor, shsll reside
at the sent .of government during; their terms of
office, and keep the rublic records, hooks and
papera there, and perform such duties as may he
required by Isw-. '"
Hertlon , (8ihdule.) lai'Arlkla V. section 1
aa amended ahall become effective at the expira
tion of the terma cf the Incumbents of the re
spective offices ending In the year and all
offlcera affected thereby shall continue In their
offices until their succeaaoia are duly cheeen and
qualified. (0 The first legislative redletrlctlng; aa
herein provided shall be made by the legislature
at Its next session after tha adoptWin of thia gmsnd-meut.
Every day a new plan la proposed for cir
cumventing war In the far east. It Is simple
enough unless Japan is predetermined to have
war at all baxards.
It looks like three, and possibly four,
Omaha nominees on the republican state ticket.
Who aald anything about an up-state prejudice
against tbe metropolis?
Too many of these "mysterious" shooting
turaprg fall of unraveling. Let ua get at the
secret of some of them, and see If It will not
help to reduce the number.
The president of the republic of Mexico now
la Veauatlano Carranxa. But Mexican presi
dents have been coming and going go uUen of
late that it 1" not easy to keep track of them.
War, like politics, makes strange bed fellows,
as witness the honorable tnlkndo on tbe side of
his whilom enemy, the cxar. Yet thts Is little
more anomaloua than England's alliance with
Russia.
A few words will aufflce to explain what
these amendments would ' accomplish. The
change In legislative apportionment would re
duce the number of candidates for state senate
and state representative to be voted for on any
ballot to one each instead of as now In this
county five state senators and twelve state rep
resentatives, and would, furthermore, make it
uniform throughout the state. By the one-to-a-dlstrlct
plan, which prevails In many states,
each member of the legislature would .have a
definite constituency of hla own to watch he
wpuld bo ar.swerable, and the opportunity for
disreputables or nonentities, to slip In under
cover of a large field of candidates would be al
moat eliminated. Each senatorial district would
be made up of three representative districts,
and the first redisricting would be had at once
to be subsequently revised after each federal
census.
Of course, the meat packers are not respon
sible any more than are the retail butchers. It
wag because the cat played tbe fiddle and the
little dog laughed that the cow jumped over the
moon. .
Europe In tbe throes of war certainly de
serves the pity of mankind, but think how
much worse its lot might bo if H. (. Wells and
O. Bernard Shaw should lock horns, as they
threaten to do.
". ' f
It is gratifying to be assured again that the
Third ward machine has been once more
"smgshed to smithereens," ''sent to tbe scrap
heap ' and ' wiped out of existence" until tlie
next time it ia needed aa a bogy man to help the
professional reformers rally their forces.
The amendment relating to state executive
officers would reduce tbe number to be elected
at gny one time to three, namely, governor,
lieutenant governor end railway commissioner,
and make all of the othera appointive, subject
to confirmation by the senate. This would give
ua practically a general manager scheme of
state government, and force the people not only
to be clrcumepect In tbelr choice of governor
and lieutenant governor, but algo to hold the
governor strictly responsible for the results of
Ms administration. If the senate does Ita full
duty In confirmation, the present elective of
fices made appointive would at least not suffer
in the character or ability of the Incumbents,
and saving them the expense of a political cam
paign would be equivalent to raising their sal
orles to a point that would command better ca
pabilities. All these offlcera would be remov
able and also Impeachable for cause.
As the editor of The Bee is not a lawyer, the
drafts of these proposed amendments may per
haps be deficient In the legal phraseology, but
we believe they embody a clear statement of the
plan, which we hope will provoke discussion.
We luvlte opinions from thoae interested, partic
ularly from other newapapeig and from candi
dates for the legislature and for state offices.

Commenting upon the present as an "Age of
brevity," and its demand for speed and action
miner than the deliberation of tbe past, the
Saturday Evening Post observes: "But our
own notion is that, with the Ughtnlng-expresa
service we demand, we reach Just the same des
tination our forefathers reached In their leis
urely way."
Undoubtedly t do, and more; we are far
aurpaaslng our forfathera lu point of achieve
ment. And hat a poor tribute It would be to
our forefathers, as well as to ourselvea, If we
did nott Shame cn the rare whose succeeding
generations do not show continued Improvement
and etcelleuce. To be aure, our swift-moving
pace will now and then sweep us past some
point of service too fast for our own good, will
cause us to slight this task or that, but la the
main It brings up worthily and advantageously.
We simply could not If we would and would
not If we could live aa leisurely as our ancestors
did, ho ever much of virtue there was In It for
them and might be for us, It adaptable to our
day.

ATI.A.VTrO. la, Aug. 21 -To the Kditor
ot The Ree: I have Just read In your '
paper two letters, i ne Is Preeldent VA li
mn a proclamation wherein he expree '
his "solemn sense of warning'' against t
what h calls "fiat deepest bi each' of
neutrality that may spring out of paa- j
fionately taking aides" The other let- I
ter. written hy Mr. Spader, speeks of one j
lountry sa "cowardly nation." us
' treacherous England." etc.. and lets tie '
know that the (Jerman kaiser "Is one of j
the noMst monsrehs on earth." Mr.
spader also adds to the world a supply of
knowledge hy publishing that the adver
saries of Germany are a "treacherous
end deceitful combination."
Now, Mr. Editor, I would like to he.
loyal to my president and to my natHe
country, America, even though I disap
prove some of President Wlleoo'a views.
My p rents were hrn In America. I ahall
heed President Wilson's advice so far as
not te state any prejudlies or crass
t plnlons. But right la right. Loyalty to
trt.th and courage gnd honor takea pre
cedence over obedience to a president s
proclamation. The doctrine of paenlve
acquiescence la not the last word. Thci--fi.rr
this note-
I do want more light on the In-aslon
of Title Belgium. Very many thousands
of Relglan widows and orphans wiil In
days to come turse the Herman Invader.
Relgtum asked that foreign troops atsy
out.. Is a rountry wicked snd treacherous
not to welcome an Invader?
It waa very wrong for the Servian fan
atic to murder the Austrian prince.
Nearly all Uermanlc people and aome
ether think It ea r'sht for Austria to
annex the Bosnian Hlav. Many others be
lieve such expansion snd annexation, even
when by a Oermanlc nation, Inevitably
creates such hostility that radical Indi
viduals will resort to violence. I must
not settle offhsnd the right snd wrong
in these contentions. Rut I must say
that, as a general proposition, he who
desls in wholesale ultimatums and declar
ations of war on short notice la a menace
to the general good, whether that threat
ener be Hlav, Gaul, German, Rrlton, Turk
or Sioux. Bven the Japanese "advice"
to Oermany Is better by over a hundred
hours. Far mote decent and vastly wiser
atllt la President Wilson's waiting for us
at Vera Crux.
I have long admired those many good
qualities that have made Uerman tcoplei
great and powerful and useful. But If
expansion la right for them, can those
aame aggressive qualities make of every
other nation "a treacherour, deceitful
combination?" If ao, should Oermany
stop with Poland, Tarls, lnndon and even
neutral Antwerp? Is It not Its duly to
hurry up a few more ultimatum?

take another surp forward In the march of civilization
and abolish Its original and time-honored national
sport, the bull fight. Many tragedies the last year
hae sickened It of gore and led to much agitation
oer the fair land, and espeoially In Madrid, for cloa
InK up of th ring. The recent grave Injury of the
Gallo brothers, chatnpkn bull flghteis of the world, Is
supposed to have Increased the feeling against the

famous toreador, hem In many battlea both In Spain
and Mexico, recently fell fatally gored before a fash
ionable assenudage In a Madrid ring. The pall of sad
ness has not to this day entirely lifted. Many who
witnessed the tragedy turned their baoka forever. It is
sskl, upon the epoit. They had only one Miguel Frrg.
To see him' churned to death by an Infuriated beast
was more then even they, hardened, one might think,
to such scenes, could endure. And yet Vlctoriano
