Whether he worked enough of it out of his sys- tem on that oceasion to enable him to see things in a more cheerful light has not yet developed. With Mr. Roosevelt and the big stick on the high seas, the Texan opened his batteries on the ex- president, and then proceeded to fire a !tew roufids of his remaining ammuni- | tion at Mr. Tatt. The calise of the out- (burst was the rumor that President | Taft would follow the precedent set by i his predecessor and veto the census bill [1f the measure, when finally passed, did not meet with his approval With this as a text, Mr. Balley pro- ceeded to state his opimion that Mr Taft had a less desirable preparation for the presidency than any man who ever occupled that position: He went from the bench, where the ten dency Is toward a certain kind of tyranny There Is scarcely a federal judge In the United States of twenty years' service who has not become arbitrary, irritable and sometimes tyrannical. 1 do not mean that this experience would corrupt him in the sense of making him venal, but it tends to corrupt him in the sense that it teaches him to oppose his will agalnst all obsta- cles. The voters last November did not take Mr. Bailey's view of the matter and | nothing bhas since transpired to lead them to endorse either his premise or his conelusions. Taft's service on the bench was not of sufficient duration for him to have ac- quired the propensities indicated. Iy | the second place, thinking men will be | slow to adopt the view that service on the bench, with the habits of careful analysis which It engenders, is an ele- ment of unfitness for passing intelli- gently upon the numerous problems which the president of the United States is called upon to solve. Rather would they expect it to prove a sheet anchor against impulsive and ill-con- sidered acts. The only apparent upfitness which long continued service on the bench might logically be expected to engen- der would be a lack of administrative ability, due to lack of opportunity te | exercige executive functions. That. Mr. Taft's judicial experience has not pro- duced this effect in his case is amply testified by his record pines and as secretary of war, Mr. Taft demonstrated that he possessed these qualities in the highest degree His insight into thé problems which confronted him was clear, his fairness at all times beyond question, and his faculty of securing results never ex- ceeded. Measured by every recognized standard, Mr. Taft's record knocks all the ground from under such predictions as those voiced by Mr. Bailey, and the only reasonable conclusion is that in iseeking a target for his grouch he thought the president the most con- venient thing to shoot at, | Taft and the South. That the south,’ although from tra dition it voted against him, expects much from President Taft is becoming more and more evident. During his southern trip, prior to his inaugura- tion, Mr. Taft's personality won the hearts and his utterances found prompt response in the sentiments of the peo- pie of the south present feeling, the speech of Secre- Chicago, is significant. As a member of the cabinet he may fairly be set down to voice the semtiment of Mr. Taft and the administration As a southerner born, and retaining all his southern sympathies and interest, he can with just as much reason be ex- pected to know and speak the views of the south. In his address to the South- ern soclety Mr. Dickinson said: No president could effectively help, and none would continue to be disposed to help, those who are repellant or coldly distant There 'is certalilly now a happy conjunction We have a president who sincerely wishes to actively co-operate with us to promote our general welfare, and our people belleve in him and give him thelr fullest eon fidence. If that were all, the combina- tion would lack an essential quality. people of the north, as is amply mani- fested by the public press, are in full harmony with the utterances of the pres- ident in respect of the south. This is an invaluable condition, for full fruition ean not come without thelr hearty approval and co-operation | The south néeds the nerth, with its restless activity, to make it measure up to the fullness of its opportunities Theoretically, the antagonism which once kept the two sections apart has long since passed away. It needs but the warm personality of a leader llke Mr. Taft to render that sentiment a moving, impelling force. Possessing the | sections, north and south are looking torward to a period of mutual inter- course and harmonious interest. | | | | | Deportation of Castro. The action of the French govern- ment in ordering Castro out of Mar- tinique marks another phase in a new era in South and Central American affairs.

Nebraska has just witnessed the adjournment of a democratic leg- islature that has likewise falled to make good most of the platform pledges on which its members were elected. As to the record of | braska's late democratic legislature, listen to what Bdgar Howard says of it in his Columbus Telegram, whose democracy will hardly be questioned: The legislature built a bank guaranty law which s the laughing stock of the state.

An Unanswered Question. | The United States government requires the deposit of specific security when it en- { trusts money to a natlonal bank although {1t can examine the bank at any time; the state vequires security when it deposits {money in a bank; the county requires se- curity and the city requires security; even {the banks require security from the offi- clals who handle the money. Why should the depositor be left to take his chances? Not only is the depositor withont protec- tlon, but the security given to nation, state, county and city lessens his security. They | are preferred creditors; they have a mort- | gage on the gilt-edged assets and the de- positor must get along as best he can with what remains. Why are the interests | of depositors thus neglecied?—Bryan's To- | peka Address, August, 198, | In the current issue of the Com- moner Mr. Bryan prints in full the law | enacted by our legislature under this | approving caption: ‘‘Nebraska's Guar- | anteed Deposits Law-—Enacted by a ! Democratie Legislature and Signed by a Democratic Governor.” Careful | reading of the law, however, fails to show that it answers Mr. Bryan's ques- tion, | With the guaranty scheme in opera. tion, the individual depositors in Ne- braska banks will still be at the same disadvantage as heretofore, as com- pared with the nation, state, county and city as depositor. Under this law, the conditions exacted by the United States government o secure money entrusted to a national bank will re- | main unchanged.

KICKING OVER THE TRACES. cant Features of Divisions in Democratic Cam Washington Herald (nd.). William J. Bryan's satisfaction with the condition and prospécts of the democratic party is serene and invincible. Reviewing the last presidential campalgn in a speech to the Texas legislature on April 5, Mr. Bryan said that the party had made a re- markable showing, when the forces arrayed ageinst it were taken into consideration. His surprise was not that the party did not recelve more votes, but that it received as many votes at it did. So near victory was he that a change of 75,000 votes in the Sig suit of the national election. brave fight,” concluded Mr. “We made a Bryan, “and | we have more than 6,000,000 voters who can | neither be bought not intimidated, and, however discouraged they may feel, I want to say that T would infinitely rather go down to defeat fighting upon the platform on which I ran than to hold the office of president of the United States and owe my election to the Influences that elected my opponent.” Yet it was a defeat, as Mr. Bryan ad- mits; still, the consolatory thing about the democratic defeat was that the party made progress by forcing the opposition to take up democratic projects and democratio principles and put them Into effect. It might have been pleasant to divide up the loaves and fishes, but Mr. Bryan thinks it better to have seen principles advance and the republican party compelled terms with the people to retain its hold on nower. He declares himself proud of this record— & record of influence over the course of events without the responsibility of ad- ministration. What, then. must he think of those democrats who are throwing away opportunity to put into prectice the prin- ciples of their party and their platform by going over bodily to the republican protec- tion camp? How are these men advancing the doctrines of the opposition or exercis- ing any influence that will be creditable to their party? We may judge. nerhaps. from his condemnation of the democratic repre- sentdtives in congress who falled to support the movement 1o reform the house rules These men. says Mr. Bryan, were dragged out of their party by secret Influences and made to betray the { democrats.

Tt is considered that, under the clreumstarces, this will serve the pur- pose quite as well as any design descrip tive of the work of the inventors. Bome of the members of the permanent personnel of the army signal corps who will form the next class at the army signal | school at Fort Leavenworth are Captains| C. B. Hepburn, on duty at Fort Wood; O. A. Nesmith, on duty at Fort Omaha:| W. L. Clarke, on duty in the Philippines; H. W. Stamford, on duty with the cable ship Burnside, and C. 8. Wallace, the dis- bursing officer of the army signal office. Later similar assignments will be given to Captain George C. Burnell and Captain C. F. Hartmann of the army signal corps, both on duty at Fort Leavenworth; in addition to whom will be detafled for in- struction at the school a number of of- ficers of the line, making a class of fifteen or sixteen. The class at the school of 1910 will embrace the remaining officers of the army signal corps below the grade of major who have not had an opportunity The prospective retirement upon his own application of Brigadier General John B. Kerr has awakened the keenest interest in the appointment of an army officer to the grade of brigadier general. This will be the first vacancy in the list of general officers of the army fo be filled by Presi- dent Taft and the event has a signiticance in the possibility that it may serve as an Indication of Mr. Taft's policy In the matter of such appointments. The agree- able and hopeful guess fs made that Mr Taft will recognize senlority instead of any such demoralizing leregularity as the se- lection of juniors which prevatled under | Mr. Roosevelt. Tt is also assumed that the | vacancy created by the retirement of Gen- | eral Kerr will mean the setection of & suc-{ cessor from the cavalry arm, in which | event, naturally, the expectation is in favor of the appointment of Colonel J. A. Augur of the Tenth cavalry, the senior officer of his grade, who would have until August, 1913, to serve before statutory retirement, Other officers who have been mentioned as “eligible” are Colonels J. H. Dorst, Third cavalry; F. K. Ward, Seventh cav- alry, and Alexander Rodgers, Sixth cavalry Arrangements signal are being made by the corps for the coming sum- mer's work in military ballooning. This work will be done at Fort Myer under the general direction of Lieutenant Frank Lahm, who will have assoclated with Foulols and John G. Winter, and prob- ably other officers to be designated here- after, together with a detachment of sig- nal corps men of special training in mili- tary ballooning. One of the provisions in the contracts with the Wright brothers and that of Herring Is that instruction in the operation of their respective fiying ma- chines shall be imparted to one or two army officers. Some doubt is entertained whether anything will be presented by Herring, although, under his contract, he would be able to submit & Wright aero- plane and receive the contract price. It s doubtful, however, If the Wrights would sell their machine for such a purpose. Until the Wrights and Herring deliver their machines in June the |work of the army balloonists will be confined to opera- tions with the dirigible. No work is des- tined to be done in military ballooning at Omaha during the coming summer. Most gratifying results have attended the determined efforts of the military authorities to apprehend deserters from the army. Some months ago General Afns worth, the adjutant general of the army adopted the method by which deserters be reported to military and civil authorities in the United States and the Philippines. When a desertion fs reported eral's office prepares a circular contain- ing two photographers—one In profile and | other of full face—of the deserter, together with @ detailed description taken from the record of enlistment. Four thousand coples of each circular are sent out within twenty four hours of the report of the desertion which is thus made known to company. troop and battery commanders, recruiting officers, municipal and rallway police of- ticials, marshals, sheriffs, etc. It is the policy of the War department to pursue | deserters relentlessly, and the results have | been shown in the increased apprehension of those who 80 sepurate themselves from the military service. In June, 1907, there were 1668 military convicts; a year later there *were 1988, and last January there were 2361, with the probability that the number has reached 3000 by this time Hitherto, the War department made no | systematic effort “to apprehend deserters. | The new system Is bound to have an in fluence in discouraging desertions, where | the chances of arr manifestly | improved —— 1 Naming the Pack. | New York Sun but firmiy we decline from Asheville, N.!
