The Platform Excuse.
Tho president's position on woman suffrage
certainly would appear stronger If based simply
on tho assertion that ho regards suffrage as a
stato Issue than by continuing to clto the silence
of the democratic platform on the subject.
Again ho tells a deputation of women that, as
chief executive and head of a great party, he
must decline to favor their proposed constitu
tional amendment "because tho suffrage Issue
was not mentioned in the Baltlmoro platform."
Of course the women aro not impressed with
such roasonlng, neither is tho country, regard
loss of 1U view of woman suffrage especially
In vlow of tho president's so recont repudiation
of his party platform on tho canal tolls question.
Wc favor the exemption from toll of American
sl'ilps engaged In coastwise trade passing through
tlra canal.
That is what tho platform says, yet President
Wilson went before congress with a most Im
passioned plea urging ropcal of tho exemption
clauso in tho canal act In complete disregard of
tho party' plcdgo upon 'which ho and every
democratic mombor of congress had been
elected.
With duo respect to tho president, both In
his official and prlvato capacities, tho country
Is apt to attach little importance from now on
to any claim baaed upon a platform, obligation.
"In the Cause of True Reform."
Hero comes our old friend, the official call
for tho state convention of tho people's Inde
pendent party of Nebraska, which Is to meet by
Its duly chosen delegates for tho purpose of
adopting a platform of principles, electing a
now stato commlttoo, and transacting such other
business as may regularly bo brought beforo It.
And for this convention an apportionment ot
delegates Is made upon some peculiar basis that
calls upon Douglas county to send 131 popu
lists to tho conclave. .
Whore, oh, whore will 131 populism be
drummed up in Douglas county to perform this
responsible duty?
Omnha and South Omaha furnish seven
eighths of tho voters ot Douglas county, and In
tho sorting out of thq now registration lists,
populists wero so few and far between that
they Woro not oven enumerated separately, but
wore bunched In tho scattering column hoaded
"Independent and No Answor." Thero are not
131 ..registered mombors of tho pcoplo's Inde
pendent party In Douglas county, nor 100, nor
oven 31. Somebody, however, will appoint him
self to go to Hastings and answor tho roll call,
and voto hlniBClf 131 times.
And this porfonnanco is to bo pulled off "in
the cauBe of truo reform!"
Future of Water Power.
Hydro-electric development Is advancing so
rapidly as to mnko quite clear tho fact that this
1h tho coming power in our country.. Secre
tary Lane of tho Interjor department says that
within n generation wntor powor will bo tho
richest asset of the" United Statos and tho atato
mont in easy to bellevo, for In tlmo supplies of
coal, oil and natural gas ns fuel will be bo de
pleted as to mako them rather too nrocloun for
industrial purposes. But tho sunnlv of wntnr
,1s lnqxhaustlulo.
Rivers and other groat bodies havo been har
nessed and put to work propelling Industrial
nnu Borvico plants on a gigantic ecalo and yet
it Is Bald that only ono-fourth of all our wntr
powor capable cf economic development has
boon thus omployed. Thoro Is scarcely a sec
tion of tho country, but has such tindovoloped
icsoiirces. Indeed, expert vonturo to 'esti
mate tho total water power at present devel
oped at only about 0,000,000 horso powor, while
placing tho minimum potential water powor of
tho country at 32,000 horso power. Tho
Chicago Horahl Is responsible for tho statement
that this Is exactly tho power now required
to operate thq public service utilities and tho In
dustrlal ontorprlaoa of tho United States, ex
cepting Btoam railroads and vessels.
With thoso facts in mind, together with the
lmmoneo industrial development constantly In
progress, tho future of water powor looms up
Hlmply aa a monstrous possibility, awny beyond
any definite comprohonslon, Toorlng into tho
future fifty yoara henco, Beers profess to sea
homes heated and meals cooked by currents gen
erated by water power, a bcuUIq of coal having
uttninod n price equal to ono day's wages of tho
avorago man. At any rate, with tho certain
demand and opportunity for hydro-electric dc
elopment, the country can hardly afford to
delay longer than Is necessary tho taming of a
slnglo waterfall, stream or torrent.
Let the Publio Come First.
Secretary Wilson of tho Department of Labor
says ho la oppoHod to compulsory arbitration
of Btrlkos bocaUBo uch Issues should bo worked
out by both sides mutually, "otherwise one or
the other is always dissatisfied."
But why not havo mutual agroement under
stress of final resort to compulsory arbitra
tion? Certainly that Is to bo contemplated
as n vital part of tho results. But. nnvwav.
Secretary Wilson seems to tako a short-sighted j
view, lorgetting that tho public, as tho third
party, Is always a chief clement ot considera
tion In a Btrlko and its adjustment, Just as it
is invariably tho chief sufferer. Tho employe
and employer nro parts of tho public, of course,
and havo their separate as well as common
rights and interests, but no right that Is para
mount to thoso of tho others.
The whole Is greater than any of Its parts,
runs tho old rulo In geometry, which applies
with force hero, and tho "Q. E. D." follows
with the clearest kind of logic. Tho fallacy
of the strike as an Instrument of Industrial
warfare In the way wo go at settling most
strikes la that the biggest lntorest Is made sub

Omaha now has a new outo chauffeur li

But oven with all the figure that "big busi

land laws, peonage and other questions still lie
close to the root of the trouble, and should not

NORTH IOL'P, Neb., July l.-To the
Editor of The Bee: The people of Ne
braska and especially many politicians
probably have not thought of how poli
tical parties aro to be arranged this 7er
if the secretary ot state is to follow tno
law. In tho Stato Journal of May IS, 1914,
Chairman Kppcrson is reported to have
said.
The executive Rtato officers who were
republicans In 1312 were also candidates
of the progressive party and In the
counting of votes the officers did not
separate the republican votes .from the
progressive votes.
Hectlon 21G? of tho revised statutes reads:
Division of Party ITso of Party Nnm
In case of a division of any party, the
secretary of stato shall give the prefer
ence of party name to the convention
held at tho time and place designated In
tho call of the regularly constituted party
authorities.
Section 21(9 reads:
Same Name of New Party Such con
vention shall adopt a party name, but
tho namo of nny old political party or
any word forming any part of such name
shall not be adopted.
Now, considering the fact that we have
a political party by the name "republi
can" and another by the name "progres
sive," the first headed by tho "regularly
constituted party authorities," Mr. Currlo
and tho second headed by tho "regularly
constituted party authorities," Mr. Ep
person, It would seem Improbable that
Mr. Carrlck's party should adopt ttio
name "progressive."
The law specifically states that a new
party cannot adopt the namo of "any old
political party." The law does not mao
It possible for a new party to use an
old name, even though tho old party Is
-out of existence and since many filings
have been made with the secretary of
stato under the tmrno "progressive," we
would Infer that If tho Currie and Ep
person committees amalgamate (not
fuse) that the "progressive" must be
placed under tho' party designation fixed
hy thoso committees which would bo "re
publican" or "republican and progressive."
If tho bull rnooso wants to form a sep
arate 'organization apart from tho Ep
porson commlttoo their only hope, under
the law, would scorn to require a new
name. This will glvo a single primary
ballot for all filings under the namo "rc
publcan" and "progressive." Fortunately
the law Is very clear on this point and
it was probably made so through tho
long continued controversy between tho
populist und democratic parties. But It
in the law, nevertheless, and "oVery doy
has his day," as Mr. Roosevelt used to
say, Tho Currlo and Dppereon commit
tees should amalgamate.

Show Day,
PORT CALHOUN, Neb., July 1. To tho
Editor ot Tho Bco: The season for tho
circus and red lemonade is now on. It
Is a gladsomo time for tho young folks,
always anxious to see the elephant. Then
.we have tho parents who may ba of a
religious turn nt mind, who "Just go to
tako tho children."
Oreat are tho lessons that can be
learned Iti natural history In a properly
conducted show with a menagerie at
tached. It brings the picture story to the
mind In reality, and u hiding behind tho
tlmoworn excuso Is unnecessary.
Not many moons ago r circus visited
a nolghboring town. Tho parado lelng.
rather unpretentious tho show was of a
similar nature. Among the attractions
they had a Hide show. All "well rcgu
latod" circuses have a side show, and
many people go to a sldo show for the
simple reason It is cheap. Hero, a negro
minstrel band was furnishing great music.
The wheel of fortune was prominent You
could spend 25 cent, and win a "V," may
bo. Tho "for men only" portion of the tent
was also In ovldence. "Boys under 18
not admitted" ami "ladles not specially
Invited." Vet they were there; also the
Juvenlles-they couldn't go Just stand
back In wonderment at tho performance.
Wo aro contributing to tho enlighten
ment of tho heathen In faraway lands,

"oodles" of grlof to thoso who aro trying
to reform tho world by the power of

Putting it on Noah
Now York World: An Oxford Asayrlolo
glst unearths a story that it was Noah,
not Adam, who was tempted to hia fall
by the serpent. It will not do. Adom'a
alibi Is shaky.
New York Sun: it Is rather heaping up
odium on old Noah to make him resionsl
ble for both the apple and the grape. The
Chaldean version ot the fall of man will
be popular, however, In feminist circles,
as it seems to free Mother Eve from re
sponsibility for original sin.
Baltimore American ; Ancient tablets,
Just'declphered, put, it Is said, the blame
for .the fall of man on Noah. That a
woman was to blame, for everything has
always bron the. cherished tradition of
the son. of. Adam, and It will not be aur
itmilered without a struggle. And St
seem, hard to blame Noah -for tho .Ins
ot the race, since ho wa. the only man
of hi. age with sense enough to get on

"Judgment of Paris"
Munich, Berlin and Vienna All Rival Claims
of French Capital as Supreme Arbiter.
Tho thorny part of a reputation is having to live
up to It For half a century or more Paris has been
In the possession of a reputation for taste in all
manner of artistry, pure (the usual synonym for non
commercial) and applied (materialistic). Paris hat,
come to consider Itself the supreme arbiter of taste
and fashlon-a tribunal arrogant and dictatorial, send
ing out its decrees regardless of tho feelings of its
subjects. It has assumed the mantle of Infallibility.
Thero are many signs that the dominance of Paris
la crumbling away.
As with nil tyrants, personal power wanes. Tho
victims' mutter and finally rebel. One need no more
than refer to that significant cplsodo of the harem
skirt, which Paris ordained and the rest of the civil
ized world politely or impolitely hooted. Paris has
now a trlumvlrato of young and extremely virile
rivals In Munich, Vienna, Berlin. I would refer espe
cially to Munich, which at the present moment Is at
tracting artistic genius from all over tho world, for
tho purpose of study and tho purpose of practice.
There aro over 6.00) artists professors, practicians,
and students In Munich nlone.
Tho city la In itself inspirational. Tho air is
clean, keen, and tonic. From nny rise an Alpine
chain stretches out a flfty-mllo panorama of peaks.
Housing is modern and wholesome. In substitution
for the dlrt-and-dlsease-rotted Quartler Latin, or the
vice-Infested region of Montmartre, the artist quarter
of Munich has broad and spacious streets, clean and
sanitary dwellings, and a wonderfully reasonable
scale of living. In order to study art It is no longer
necessary to live In conditions of mediaeval piggery.
Hygiene and genius aro not Incompatible cloments.
Munich has flno ancient galleries, an abundance of
modern collections, and an infinity of "one-man
shows." But Its chief oaset Is Its senso of overflowing
youth. Munich is essentially young and modern. Th j
ancient portion of the city Is healthily being broken
up and scrapped. Tho artist is not shackled to the
past Ho is not overwlvelmed by the dominance of
traditional greatness. He is not tempted to fritter
away hi. abilities in an endeavor to ape tho ancients.
In consequence, the "Munich style" in pictures,
furniture, fabrics, and the applied artistry of tho
home Is sul generis, a vivid expression of young and
modern thought Its influence Is at tho present mo
ment .weeping over Europe. You can know "Munich
stylo" by Its bold, broad splashes of color and Its
sovero simplicity of line. This Is not tho "Nou,eau
Art" of tho early years of the century, wriggly and
shaky and curllquesque. It is based on the straight
line, tho nqunro. and the plain circle; and it Is sane
and pleasant to live with. If you Insist on an ancient
analogy, It is Grecian simplicity In a modorn re
naissance of feeling.
The movement in architecture, furniture, and in
terior decorations Is not confined to the home. Ono
find. It embodied In banka, insurance buildings, bual?
ncss offices, even in factories. Thero Is, for example
a turbine factory In Berlin which Is a Joy to look
upon. Thero Is a champagne works near AVIcsbaden
which rivals an art gallery. There. Is a recent Insur
ance building in Munich which la more dignified than
a great many palaces. Outside and in, down to tho
smallest detail of fitments, these buildings aro con
ceived in modern virile thought.
Dress fashion Is more especially the creation of
Vienna in tho triumvirate of Munich-Vlenna-Borlin.
Vienna has all tho daring and smartness for which
Paris has gained Its reputation, plus the virility of
youth. It Is claimed, with seeming reason, that no
where else In Europe are there sucn artlsta In the
"tailor-made." Tho new fabrics for dress and home
decoration which Vienna is now pouring over Europe
are startling! beautiful, and original. They open up
a whole new territory of color harmonics,
Berlin Is the commercial partner In the trio.
Hero are hard-headed business men who are thrusting
Into the markets of the world the creative thought of
Munich and Vienna. Recently Berlin staged an ex
hibition of "German clothes" In order to prove that
Paris is no longer the undisputed arbiter of fashion.
The Judgment on Pails is being written. For half
a century or more French genius has been most strik
ingly manifest In the region of artistic taste. Tlmt
dominance, Is. passing. French genius Is seemingly
turning to another direction mechanical Invention.
Tho pioneers in motor cars, the pioneers in sub
marines, the pioneers in aircraft. Frenchmen are los
ing ono field and gaining another. It seems curious
to think that two nations can be so exchanging tradi
tional activities. The prosaic German, excelling In
matters of artistic fancy; tho temperamental French
man excelling in cold mechanical Inventions! Yot
this seems to bo the shitting of contemporary history.
From the special point of view of the British busi
ness man the new movement Is worth close attention.
All who cater to woman and the home-and that
means men engaged In scores of manufacturing and
merchandising Industries will have to reckon with
the trend of thought of the new triumvirate of Munlch-Vlenna-Berlln.
Its backing of artistic genius Is a
driving power of tremendous forcetulness. Munich
art Is not merely a local art confided to natives. Thero
ore few real Munlchcrs amongst the artists there. It
Is rather that men and women from nil over the world
Austrlans, Frenchmen, Italian. Englishmen. Aus
tralians, Canadians, Americans, South Americans aro
concentrating on Munich as a desirable focus for
artistic study ond pooling genius there. They are ex
changing Ideas, striking sparks from ono another.
The "Munich style" they are evolving is a crystallato
of cosmopolitan thought. Their common factor Is their
youth and virility. London Times.
