given many times before:
"I have not expressed any preference."
"Will you not announce your prefer

No." ha replied; "I have no cholo
now, except that I hope to see a progres

"But. Mr. Brysn." he waa told, "th

aon victory In Oregon have both beea
aarrlhed to your Influence. Have you
not taken any position Is the matter at

"No," he said. "I have not. I have
carefully avoided taking any position.
aepaclally In Nebraska, where I have
continually reiterated my refusal te take

exert any Influence was In my own pre

that I waa either for the man who lei

to try to st th vols as nearly even sa

Mr. Bryan has msd his slogsn,
"Let th people rule" (provided they
rule according to his directions),
and has gon so fsr ss to ssy that a
platform la as binding for what It
omits as for what It contains. But
It this is all tb sffect a presidential
primary has upon Mr. Bryan In his
representstlv capacity as a dsl
gste, what Influence should such a
preference vote hsv on ordinary
people?
A, '
Contract Conviot Labor.
For many years every attempt at
national legislation to control con
vict labor has met with defeat It
ha been opposed by formidabl sel
fish Interest, and now that th
Booher bill, which. If enacted Into
law, would practically do away with
this system In tb penltentlsries, has
passed on house, It, too, may expect
to meet with this ssms opposition,
but th prospect is fair tor Us enact
ment. I
Tb Outlook, In discussing this
question, contends that contract con
vict labor In state prisons is rsally
worse In a wsy thsa ordlnsry slsv-
sry; (hst th contractor, who buys
th time of tb prisoner at a stlpu

Tbls point certainly demands con
sideration, ss doe also th point that
free labor outside th penitentiary Is
forced Into competition with th
prison labor. Still another la th
unsanitary condition too often pre
vailing In prison labor quarters. Th
Outlook effectually replies to an ar
gument regularly advanced in favor
of the prison system, that It teaches
oonvleta trades they msy use sfter
they lesve prison, by Instating thst
tbs trades followed In the prison are
seldom worth anything to the free
msn. A federal law stopping Inter
state trade in. goods msde by con
tract convict labor would unquss
tlonsbly end these evils, although It
would leave other evils equally re
quiring attention.
Same Old Crop Killers.
Th Oldest Inhabitant probably
would have to stretch bis memory
to recall a spring when th whest
crop was not killed, thst Is. by ths
premsture predictions. This spring
has been no exception In that regard.
Some two weeks ago reports were
sent broadcast thst wheat in Ne
braska and other big wheat states
wss away below par and In places so
worthless thst the ground was being
plowed up for other cereals.
Promptly the wheat market got
the crowds. Prices began to soar.
They thrrstened to outdo core,
which for months previous hsd been
sent to an absurd ascent by the ficti
tious conditions which It Isy In ths
power of the bulls to create. Then
the rains cams, as rains nsuslly do
at this time of year, and the ground
began to get greener aad the prices
trembled, then tell.
In part of Nebrssks, Ksasss and
other wheat states, more reliable re
ports ssy, an enormous crop ot whest
will be harvested this year, and all
over the wheat belt the crop Is liksly,
barring adverse conditions from now,
te be very fair. The crop killers, like
the poor, we hsve always with us
snd they are usually doing the bid
ding of the speculstor, if. Indeed, they
sre not the speculator himself. No
need to become too exuberant over
the prospects of a bumper wheat
crop, but those who have made In
vestigations for the legitimate pur
pose of finding out wbst the situa
tion is, sre entitled to some credence
snd they say prospects sre promis
ing. Good Men for Commissioner.
Another candidate for commis
sioner in the prlmsrte whom The
Bee Is plessed to commend sgain for
the election is Albert C. Kugel. rep-;
resenting the Tenth ward in the
present eity- council. We need
bsrdly sdd to whst we said before in
these words:
Mr. Kugel la on of th highest type
of th mechanic, a claaa that oonatltute
uch a substantial part of our commu
nity. By trade s plumber, now conduct
ing a plumbing bualnea of hla own, he
baa the good will and confidence of both
fellow laborers and em pi oyer. As plumb
ing Inspector, and later as councilman,
h has mad a credltacl record. He baa
been constantly accessible to hla con
stituents, responsive to their demands,
tndefatlgabl In attending to the public
business entrusted to him, snd as com
mlaaloner could be counted on to apply
the same Intelllsence, common sens and
Industry In the performance of bl duties.
Mr.. Kugel demonstrated his pop
ularity, and the high esteem In
which he IS held, by the handsome
vote accorded him in the preliminary
race, which is sure to be repeated In
increased site and decisiveness In the
election.
British and American Inquiries.
Appsrently the relstlve tempers
menu of the Briton snd American
are fslrly reflected In the respective
conduct toward the Titanic Investiga
tion. A senstorlal committee was at
the docks In New York to meet the
owner and remaining crew ot ths
ship with an official inquiry, which
baa been pushed with vigorous In
difference to any prearranged plans
of qusry. In London, nearly three
weeks after the disaster, the British
announce their readiness to enter
pon n investigation, but they will
pursue a regular court procedure
with the questions, cbsrscter and
number mspped out beforehand.
' Yet, as a matter ot fact, the Brit
on could hardly have got to work
any sooner, since they hsve not hsd
the men at their disposal for wit
nesses. But th comparison Is quits
striking, typtcsl of ths wsy the two
people do things. We do not know
but thst In this esse methods, st
lesst, ot our cousins are more im
pressive thsn our own, and yet no
criticism, is to be made ot the Ameri
can for prompt and vigorous grasp
ing ot this situation. W had no
tlm to loss, Owner limay had an
nounced his Intention ot sailing for
London on th same day ot his ar
rival In Nsw York, and other ship
men dsslred to mske a hasty depsrt
urs. Whstever wss done must be
done without delsy. Our Amerlrsn
senators wsre alert to the necessity
ot the case, whether the British
would hsv been or not.
But the Important thing la that
London should co-operate, - as 1J
ssems anxious to do, with the
United States In getting at the
facte that need to-be brought
out of this distressing situation.
London has elected to follow much
the ssms line of Inquiry as that laid
down In Washington. With both
sides of the sea pressing for ths
right action to forestall another
such tragedy all minor differences
may wall be wstved.
' The Bee's offer to send a ahort
hand reporter if "Ralph" wanted to
mske an answer to Jim Is not taken
up, but meets with this response:
No. thanks, I won't need a shorthand
reporter, for, not being a candidate, I
esn't vary wait become sa Wsu to this
campaign, as the mayor wants m io do.
Permit ms te thank him, however, tor
hla favorable advertising of my bualneaa
methods, tor, since the mayor In hla cam
paign speechea aays that I am a crook,
ths people will st ones conclude thst I
am noL-Ralph.
In the interest ot full measure and
the rule ot the people, The Bee puts
It up to the voters.

la all the annals of crime there is ne
climax with modern trimmings ss sen
sational snd plctureaqu as the finish
of th motor car bandits In Paris, this
week. In many respects the battle was
similar to that fougnt in tb Hounds
ditch section of London on January 1
Mil, which lasted nine hours, occupied
ths attention of 1.MS armed policemen,
two detachments of soldiers, some artil
lery, a firs brigade and thousands ef
spectators. Destruction ef the besieged
building by fire ended the battle in Lon
don. Dynamite did the business in Paris.
But whst ths Parte affair lacked In
duration waa offset by a succession of
brief thrills, pictured in all their aba dings
by batteries of cameras and moving pic
ture machine. Jul Bon not leader of
th gang with ten murders and scor-
of robberies to It credit, took refuge In
garage, from which a hall of bullets
fired by a cordon of policemen snd re
publican guards failed to dislodge him.
The manner in which ths climax wss
reached and Its photographic reproduc
tion elevatea the event above the common
aad gives It distinction never before at
tained. Two attempts to dyramlte the
building failed. Each one was a thriller
but the third, which was successful, ex
ceeded the thrills of sll thst hsd gons
before. A police lieutenant carrying flvs
pounds of explosive, crawled up to th
bslldlag behind a load of hay, planted the
deadly package and lit the fuse. One
may well believe the "the suspense wss
agonising." ss the account antes. There
was breathless-silence, "broken only by
the click of the clnemotograph as It
took In ths scene, treeing ths thin, curl
Ing smoke of the fuse blown hither snd

a loud report, and the building was
wrecked. Many a desperado in the old
