South Omaha's, Attitude,
t'p to the time of the consolidation vote no
one cotild seriously complain of the opposition,
no matter how mistaken, manifested by South
Omaha officials who may have convinced them
selves that they were representing the wUhes of
the people mho had put them In office. But
when the returns of the election disclosed an
overwhelming majority of South Omaha voters
recorded for the merger, the last legitimate
excuse was removed for further antagonism by
the office-holding brigade. From that moment
their continued obstruction became not an effort
to carry out the wishes of their constituents, or
to protect the interests of their city, but merely
a selfish scheme to hold themaelvee on the pay
roll or to deliver the goods to favored contractors.
With the pretense that the people of South
Omaha do not want to be annexed smashed to
smithereens, la it not high time to call off the
fight against completion of the merger? If the
South Omaha psyrollers think they can by their
Indefensible actions forte Omaha to buy them
off by giving them other lucrative city Jobs, it
seem to tis they are going about It the wrong
way.
Nebraska Frets on Bryan.
Perusal of the Nebraska press comment on
the Bryan resignation, which we have repro
duced in condensation, discloses that the opinion
of his home state as no voiced corresponds en
tirely with that of other sections of the country.
With possibly three or four exceptions, even his
hitherto most loyal and devoted champions de
plore his action and fall to see the Justification
for It. Those with a disposition to favor Bryan
try hard to find a way to do so without taking
a stand against the president. The beet the
Bryan papers seek for him is to Impress the
public that be is aiming for the same object as
the president, only In another way. On the
opposite end, the criticism runs from mild re
buke to most scathing arraignment of the former
eecretary of state for abandoning his chief In
the crucial hour. It is an interesting situation
out of which are sure to grow still more Inter
esting developments.
Economy or Safety in Ocean Serrioe.
Official Inquiry into the-circumstances con
nected with the sinking of the Lusltanla brought
from the captain of that ship the admission that
sailors of today are no longer so competent as
were the old-timers. It was further established
that, although the crew of the Lusltanla was
supposed to be under perfect discipline, It
"lacked practice," and could not do its work
efficiently in emergency.
This testimony supports the charge, fre
quently made since the loss of the Titanic, that
the custom has been for shipowners too often
to sacrifice safety to economy. Experience has
proven that the cheaper men are usually une
qual to the Important work suddenly thrust
upon them in time of disaster, and that machin
ery cannot always be depended upon. The sea
n.an's bill, which goes Into effect next month,
provides that ships under the American flag
must be manned by crews who are competent,
the purpose being to secure as far as possible
safety at sea; at least to provide for the human
factor In the equation. This plan was rejected
by the British in the conference at London a
year and a half ago, and whether it will work
successfully on American boats exposed to com
petition of foreign boats not subject to such
requirements remains to be seen.
The time will come, however, when the trav
eling public will not be content to enjoy the
luxury of the floating palaces, unless assured
the vessel is In the hands of officers and men
who know their business. '

Iowa Democrats Lining Up Af&ln.
Des Moines was the scene on Tuesday ot an
interesting spectacle, when the assembled dem
ocrats pledged anew their fatth and fealty, and
broke ground for the 1911 proceedings. One
of the real Joys of life Is to see the Iowa demo
crats lining up for a national campaign. The
pomp and circumstance of the process Is most
Impressive, and an outsider might be fooled Into
thinking it meant something. Those who are
familiar with Hawkeye history sometimes ad
mire the faith, while tbey smile at the Judg
ment, ot these devoted democrats.
In many generations only one has arisen to
lead them into more than local light. When
"Uncle Hod" Boies assumed the mantel ot
"Shep" Le ffler, of blessed memory, the unterrl-
fled thought they had found their Moses. Bryan
smote down the Boles boom with his cross ol
gold and Impaled it on a crown of thorns, and
the party returned to its wanderings In the
wilderness. Now, It has turned Its back on
Bryan, and Is again happy In its leaderless con
dition. IU faith Is pledged to Woodrow Wil
son, ana Cato Sells has a place at Washington.
Judge Wade and Committeemen Marsh are fol
lowing along a trail biased by Judge Claggett,
Ben Hall, John P. Irish. U Q. Klnno and " Jer

generation.
American Trade and Foreign Exchange.
The announcement from New York that
London and Paris exchange had fallen to a
record low point is gratifying in the sense that
it is an indication of a very large favorable trade
balance with the United States. This condition
very naturally grows out of the war, and Is not
unexpected. The seller nations of Europe have
become buyers, and ao long as they are required
to sustain this posltlou, that long we will have
the advantage, and unless some unforeseen turn
marks the course of business, the dollar will
take precedence over the pound sterling or the
franc. On the other band, it may be noted that
la 8outh America, where the British bankers
are in control and business must be done
through London, a different state of affairs pre
vails. In Chill, for example, the "dollar ex
change" is at a rate that really hampers busi
ness between that country and the United States
and tbia because the business' must be done
through London, because of existing banking ar-'
rangements. It has been fairly well established
that the rate of exchange does not depend on
the gold supply, nor altogether on trade condi
tions, but is In a great measure controllable by
and responsive to banking facilities.
Papllllon Timea: Bryan'a relagnation do not ban
l.h him from power. He haa been killed too many
tlmoe In the pant and. phoenixlike, haa Main risen to
greater power. to. also, he may again ahlne resplen
dent and In triumph over hla enemies.
Oakland Independent: No lee atartllng than the
resignation waa the atatenient that, although he an I
the prealdent pnrted with mutual regret according tJ
their lettera. Mr. Bryan la going to do all In hla
power to convert the people to his views on world
peace, and theae vlewa clean violently with thoee of
the preeldent. That aeema to foreahadow a wide split
in the democratic rerty. Mr. Bryan ha evidently
atarted a bl,- movement.
Beatrice Exprea: Bryan will undoubtedly at
tempt to make the paramount laaue ot the 1914 cam
paign and will try to force the democratic party, to
take Ita atand for p c at any prtc.
Blue Bprlnga Sentinel: The long- expected rupture
In th cabinet haa at laat taken place and W. J.
Bryen reelime an eecretary of state. The resignation
waa promptly accepted by the prenldent and the note
goe forward to the kaaer tomorrow aa drafted by
the president and Bryan retires to private life, that Is
to errnp Hitchcock for the aenate.
Cllver Creek Band: It may turn wit to be beat.
however, aa Bryan liai been a aource of trouble nd
mlwiomer In the office. However It may affect the
personal political fortune of the retiring eecretary,
!l waa unfortunate that he ahould have choeen thla
particular time to reelgn. Again, the country will be
better off without liia intermeddling with foreign af
fairs. Preoident Wlleon made a mistake when he
made him eecretary of atate. The writer haa had two
flgMIng roosters in his pen lately, arid had to give
one of them away to avoid trouble, ltryan, with hla
dictatorial way, and Wlleon. with hla achoolmaeter
autocratlc waa, could not exlat In the aame school
yard any more than the toosters In our backyard or
two bulla In a pasture.
Kearney Times: It is an action that all who think
will approve. The only difference that exlat be
tween Mr. Bryan, Presldeut Wlleon and the member
of the cabinet can he summoned up as difference of
method. They all have the aame big end In view
the preservation of the peace and dignity of the
United Stater.
Central Cltyl Republican: The great Nebraakao
whs a Kooil soldier and bear an honorable discharge.
He will reti-rn home and resume hla old place In
the council and affection of the people. The benefit
of hi great power will be welcome even by those
who are not of hi political faith.
Fall City Journal: Bryan resigned at the very
beginning of the Chautauqua season and the gate re
ceipts at many a tented park will be swelled to see
the new wrinkles in his forehead caused by the study
necessary to produce those famous peace treatlea, on
paper, and that remarkable treaty with Columbia.
Beatrice Kxprees: Now that Mr. Bryan Is but of
the cabinet, the antl-Bryanltes in Nebraska who have
been gating at the p'e counter with hungry eyea, feel
that the time of victory is at hand and that they
will soon ba enjoying themselves in pastures green.
But there's many a allpt betwixt the cup and the
lip. and the Influence of the ex-secretary of state with
the president is yet to be reckoned with.
Hasting Tribune: 'And Bryan la right. The peo
ple of the United Htatee do not want war and they
are not go'ng to have It If there is any way possible
to prevent It.
Kearney, Hub: Whether lie or the president I
nearest right, may be a matter of opinion, but his
action la consistent and courageous, and we believe
Justified, for a break In Prealdent Wilson' cabinet
ta not nearly so serious a thing aa forcing a war or
flirting with, the chance for one.
Blair Fnlerprlee: The country will survive with
out Mr. Bryan's official air. Just the ' same, and that
gentleman has a reputation of taking good care of
himself In any situation, so there Is nothing apparent
to worry about.
Wither Tribune: Mr. Bryan haa resigned aa sec
retary of atate. He will not be missed. He has been
a figurehead In that position.
ITowells Journal: Viewed from any standpoint
Mr. Bryan'a action la to be regretted. There are able
men to fill th position, but the effect of h'e resigna
tion upon the people of the world at large Is hard to
estimate, and Is calculated to give a wrong Impression
ef the sentiment of the American people aa a whole.
Scott's Bluff Republican: There are but few who
will believe that Mr. Bryan'a aole object in severing
his connections with the adm'nlatratlon waa on ac
count of tha new note to Germany, aa he acta forth
tn hia letter, a there are too many who have aua-
plcioned that hi relation with the president have
not been the moat pleasant for aome time past, and
also because his policy sine the war broke out
across the water haa been tlecldedly anti-Oerman. It
remalna to be seen yet Just where he will light, but
If he should throw his hat In the ring for tha United
Rate aenate there would be one of the "dangdeat"
parrot and dog fights ever pulled off anywhere
Friend Telegraph: Th reaignatlon of Mr Bryan
Indlcalea some stirring times Inaida the democratic
party within the next twelve montha. either that he
wilt conteat tha aenatorshlp from Nebraska against
Penator Gilbert M Hitchcock or that ha will became
a candidate for the presidency of the United State
as against the re-election of Woodrow Wilson
Ord Journal: Tho Journal will venture the guess
that of all the men of Nebraaka none will continue
to be a stronger supporter of President Wilson than
will th Commoner, f.nd that in the possible event ct
war with a foreign power no voice will be heard
calling louder for tha protection of our national tntt-
tutlon snd the defense of our national honor
Bloomflold Journal: The fact that the chautnun.il
season open soon Is merely a conlcldent, of course
Tekamah Herald: W J Bryan has laid himself
open to censure by hla resignation at this time to
embarrass President Wilson In this Crlsl of th na
tion. It la a case of the hired man trying to run th
bos.
Franklin Progress: Mr Bryan la on ef th few
really great men of the world, and whll there ar
t'emocrat who will gloat ovr th break between th
nresident and hla principal advleer, democracy will
deplore It. ...
The Right spirit.
OMAHA, June M.-To the Editor ot
The Be. Permit me to pay my trfbute
of respect to the trustee of Dundee. 1
note with pleasure that they are not
willing longer to prolong th fight against
Greater Omaha, but announce their In
tention of Joining la making Omaha a
larger and better city.
This action of their is no surprise to
me. Though I took Issue with them upon
consolidation, I always respected their
sincerity and their devotion to what they
believed to be th Interest of Dundee
alone a a separate from the Interest of
th greater city. I did not agree with
them in that attitude, but I had that con
fidence In their Integrity and sense of
clvlo duty to feel that when the fight
ad been honestly fought and won, they
would accept the verdict and eld in the
general forward movement. J am happy
In the thought that Dundee trustees
ave proved true to those higher prin-
iple of civic duty, which I was ao sure
they entertained all along. After an.
they are typical ot the general spirit of
Dundee, and the time v. Ill come wncn
not only they will be glad they at a
part of the Greater Omaha, but that
Omaha will be proud of that addition to
her rillscnahtp.
These compliments, owing to the
splendid vote for consolidation In 6outh
Omaha tor Houthslde Omaha), may b
paid to her citlsenshlp but I regret to
note that tbey will not apply to the at
titude of th present officials.

He Is quite right; It Is worth while.

know that the Commercial club turned
down a promising opportunity to obtain
the national encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic for WIO, in com
parison with Which the present conven
tion would not be a aide show.
Th national encampment would bring
to our city at leant 200,000 visitor nd
they would leave at a very conservative
estimate, 11,000,000 here, but the commit
tee of the Grand Army could not per

OMAHA, June 18. To the Editor of The
Be: Why all thla agitation by the city
commissioner on the question of regu
lating the Jitneys? Why not pass an
ordinance entitled Jitneys are forbidden
by city ordinance to operate within the
city of Omaha and let it go at that.
Doe th Jitney patron care whether
they leave and arrive on schedule tim
or not? If on la no there when the
patron J ready to go to or from work
another on will come along and taka on

street car and give a better tide for

needed most. .In the busy morning or
evening. What the riding public wants
la service and If tha Jitney don't give
them value for their money then tho
publlo will put them iut of business
without the aid ot a city ordinance.
What difference doee it make if
Jitney wants to accommodate a passenger
by deviating from a route? Who doe
it hurt? If th other passengers are sat

do not what particular bearing this
ahould have in contemplated regulation.

hey muat be Joking. It looka as If the
people invited them to vacate their of
fices and that ought to be aufftclent In
lew of the fact that the people who
elected them asked them very em
phatically to vacate tholr places. If an
nexation had been defeated we Wonder
if they would have asked the courta to
decide whether they should hold onto
their offices? It la the opinion of most
of us that If a full vote had been cast
on Jine 1, that at least 76 per cent of the
cople of the former city of South Omaha
v-ould have voted for annexation and If
the election was held aanJn fndnv tt
would carry by a 90 pr cent vote. It
would be the decent and honorable way
for the city officials to act the part of
men and do as the officials of Dundee
are doing. It would be good politics, too,
for the city official ta treat tho city
commissioners of Omaha in the same-
way aa the good people of Dundee are
doing and ahow how large thev can be
In th public estimation.
It Is to be hoped that the city officials
of the former city of Pourh Omaha will
take a tumble to themselves before next
Monday and surrender their offices In
the same graceful manner that their pre
decessors In office did when they took
their places. They would then stand on
higher plane in the estimation of the
Feople who have asked them to give up
their offices to the city officials of the
