A bunch of Méxican revolutionists who made the United States their headquarters have been sent to prison.

Taft to North and South. The speech of President Taft at the dedication of the monument to Penn- sylvania soldiers who fell at Peters- burg departs from the platitudes com- mon on such occasions and says things directly to the point. With praises for the valor of the men who composed the armies which met on the battle- fleld and commendation for the era of good fecling and mutual respect which had succeeded the hitterness of that struggle of the Titans he indulges remarks which can be taken in no other way than a direct feference to a recent incident. In doing so he does not mince words, but declares that the man on either side who seeks to in- ject a note of discord is a fool. The wounds of that struggle were many and deep, but the inherent good sense and patriotism of the people both north and south have applied the heal- ing balm until there {s no sectional animosity, but instead a national spirit of common interest and common sym- pathy. It has been one of the most conspic- uous policies of Mr. Taft to bring about as a climax to the sentimental reunion of the sections a community of political thought and Industrial in- terdependence. His remarks about fools unquestionably refer to the iiter- changes resulting from the presenta- tion of a silver service to the battle- ship Miesissippl, which took on much of the character of the acrimonious debates common up to the early eighties. As a northern man the presi--| dent had the rght to speak for the north and by their assent the south- erners present indicated that as pres- ident he had the right to and did speak for the entire couptry. Democratic Harmony and Consistency | Senator Bailey of Texas has made another effort to tell what the position of the democratic party is on the tariff question and in doing so ‘has suc- ceeded in demonstrating that the party holds no known position, but is scattered along all the way from the high protection camp to the.free trade harbor. The Texan ruthlessly smashes the ambition of Governor Johnson of Minnesota to be the Moses of the dem- ocratic party in the south and informs the public that the Minnesotan Is economical with the truth in discus- sing the position of democrats, who, like himself, are for a duty on iron ore, lumber or any other product of their state. Senators Smith and Ray- ner of Maryland took issue with the Texan on the iron ore schedule and Mllman showed a disposition to help the latter out. Mr. Bryan has repeat- edly attempted to read the protection- ists out of the democratic party, but they insist that they have season tickets and refuse to quit the'perform- ance either at his bidding or that of the ambitious governor of Minnesota, It is also to be noted that when Mr. Bailey sought to counter on the re- publicans by alleging that they were likewise divided on the tariff ques- tion he speedily got the answer that while republicans are not all agreed upon some of the schedules, as was to be expected in so large and compre- hensive a question, absolutely no dif- ference of opinion exists to the soundness of the prineiple of protee- tion to American industries, as is the case in the democratic camp. During his speech Mr. Bailey let fall another ray of light in his admis- son that the former democratic slogan of free raw materials, along with other democratic paramounts of the past was all wrong, was no longer a part of the democratic creed and that an up-to-Aate democrat must of neces- sity change his beliefs often changing conditions warrant. Taken all in all the director of th democratic orchestra down at Wash- ington must be having a perfectly, lovely time of it. He has some fairly good sololsts at his command, but when he tries to bring all his mu- sicians together for the overture or the grand finale no amount of energy expended on the baton can overcome the discord Hairsplitting Justice. The Missouri supreme court has just rendered a decision which is & conspicuous example of hairsplitting Jus A former St. Louis city offi- cla nvicted and serving time, has been granted a new trial ‘on ground that the. article ‘‘the" omitted from before the word * in the sentence in the indictment, which' should read “against the peace and dignity of the state.” Just at present when there is a widespread criticism of reversals by higher courts on purely technical grounds this decision 18 bound to arouse unfavorable criticism. The criminal jurigprudence of this country fe bullt up around the principle that a man accused of crime must have an absolutely fair trial and all his rights and immunitiés preserved to him. The presumption of innocence is basic and should not be infringed upon, but in passing upon cases the courts some- times ovérlook the fact that the public also h rights in eriminal prosecu- tions no less vital and that the pun- ishment of crime is necessary for the protection of society. All present-day thought is along the lines that no reversals should be granted unless some ‘‘substantial” t of the accused has been denied. of the most distinguished advo- cates of this reform is President Taft. In the case in point no one would con- tend that the omission of the mean- ingless article “‘the” robbed the de- fendant of any ‘“substantisd” right. The word signified nothing {a the in- dictment, neither did its omission in any way obscure its meaning, yet In the opmion of the Missouri supreme the | ing fenddnt to a new tri long lapse of time may result differ- ently, after a jury in what was pre- sumably a fair hearing had pro- nounced him guilty Such hairsplitting justice does mere can well be estimated. of the dificulty is not so simple, how- ever, as the average layman ~might imagine. In all probability, ridieu- l6us as it may seem, the decision is doubtiess in line with established precedent, whose overturning would be more farreaching than appears to the uninitiated, and possibly lead to other evils more farreaching than this particular case. Leaving it to the bench to determine what constitutes a substantial right of a person accused of crime may not be wholly free from objection, but the law could be made more definitely applicable to prevent needless reversals in a majority of cases. Like unexplainable verdicts by juries, decisions on flimsy grounds tend to undermine popular confidence in the courts and it is as much to the interest of the judiciary and the bar as of the ordinary citizen that such abuses be made impossible. Death of H. H. Rogers. The sudden death of H. H. Rogdrs has taken from the financial and In- dustrial world one of its commanding figures. Although most commonly known a product of the Standard Oil company, it is generally conceded that it was his brains which evolved the plans by which its vast interesdts were centralized and made to work harmoniously. Had he done nothing elge this would have afforded a strik- testimony to his organizing genius, but it was only one of a num- ber of great undertakings which he carried to a successtul conclusion, in- cluding the Amalgamated Copper com- pany and his Virginia coal road. The sudden taking off of a man oc- cupying such a pivotal position in the world of finance and connected with s0 many enterprises might reasonably have been expected to precipitate costly confusion in the securities of those corporations in which he was largely interested. That its effect on the market was inconsiderable is a tribute both to the perfection of these industrial organizations and also & demonstration of the oft-repeated re- mark that no man is indispensable, no matter how great his power or how commanding his genius. An incompe- tent can wreck them, as has been dem- onstrated often, but @ws a rule the dropping out of a leader simply lets others who have helped develop out the scheme step to the front and carry on the work. —_— In New Hampshire, Too. Excessive charges by the express companies are the target not only in Nebraska, but in various parts of the country. The latest center shot has | been scored in New Hampshire, where the state railroad cobmmissioners have | decided a case against the American Express company, finding the charges for the transportation pf goods within the state unreasonable and promul- | gating a new schedule of rates based |on a combination of weight and dis- tance computations, with allowance for competitive points and transfers from one line to another. One of the pecullarities of the New | Hampshire c as reported, is (hl!' the demand of the merchants and ship- | | pers has been more particularly for | lower rates on the smaller packages |sent short distances. This class of business is the class that would be taken over-by the Postofice depart- ment under a parcels post system, and the express companies set up that this small package business was an insig- nificant and unremunerative part of the whole. Such an argument, of course, ought to give the parcels post the support of both the merchants and the express companies, when, as every- one knows, were it not for the express companies’ opposition we would have had the parcels post all over the coun- try long ago. The New Hampshire order reducing express rates is In point for Nebraska only In that it tends to sustain the law enacted in this state for lower rate: for express company shipments, If the express companies are unable to withstand the complaint that their charges are excessive and unreasona- | ble in New Hampshire, they are not | likely to make out any better case here im Nebraska,’ where charges have been, if anything, still higher. —_— The *Charleston News and Courler | does not have much sympathy with Mr. Bryan's lament that the republi- | | cans had a bigger campaign fund than | the democrats last year and suggests that with a different candidate inspir- {ing more confidence among democrats l- bigger campaign fund would have | been raised, How kind not to inti- | mate that it was Mr, Bryan's $10,000 limit on individual contributions-that kept the democratic fund down. — Before talking about giving the Park board $500,000 or $1,000,000 to spend on Omaha parks and boulevards next year it would be a good plan to read the city charter. The only way for the Park board to get that much money 18 for some public-spirited mil- lionaire to make the eity a present. After all these years of Mr, Bryan's preaching against monopoly his home town of Lincoln proposes to create an absolute monodpoly for the sale of liquor “for medicinal, mechanical and sacramental purposes.

The statue of Matthew Stanley Quay having ‘been made under an appropriation by the legislature, of course some place had to be found for it, and a niche in the capitol rotunda has been selected. Con- sidering the history of the bullding, there is an impressive propriety In placing In that palace of graft the statue of the man who “shook the plum tree” and who pleaded the statute of limitations. Banki Heavily Futare. ‘Springfield Republican Senator Depew alsofalls Into argument that the republican party never promised a downward revision of the tariff. All this of course, smacks of an effrt to prepare the country for a contrary result. Mr. Depew thinks that even if the people regard thé party as pledged to a down- ward revision, atill it ean safely violate that pledge—the restoration of business prosperity certain to come being sufficient to mollify the voters and excuse the party's treason. This is banking heavily on the uncertainties of the future. Where There is Real Graft. Philadelphia Record.

Charleston . News and Courier (dem.). Mr. Bryan's observation that the repub- licans had & campalgn fund of $1,600,000, as compared with a democratic fund of $600,000 last vear, scarcely strengthens his contention as to the power and popular- ity of the democratic party. A party that ¢annot raise a fund sufficlently large to conduct a vigorous campaign is not in a healthy condition. The republican fund was not blg enough to corrupt the eleo- torate. There is little reason to believe that any considerable number of votes was purchased by elther party in 1908 and the reluctance of democrats te con- | tribute to the party fund exposed the failure of Mr. Bryan's candidacy to arouse democratice enthusiasm. THE NEW BUDGET. Making National Expenditures Con- form to National Revemue, New York Tribune. Secretary MacVeagh's remark that the United States would soon have a budget system in force such as exists in most Furopean countries indicates that the ad- ministration i working out plans for mak- ing national expenditure conform more strictly to jmational revenue. Hitherto the executive department has mot greatly con- cerned itgelf with the problem of making ends meet. The secretary of the treasury has transmitted to congress in Degember, at the opening of each regular session, an estimate of the revenues for the fiscal year beginning on July 1 of the following year. He has also sent in the estimates of appropriations needed, made up by the vartous department and bureau chiefs. But he has not attempted to revise and reduce the estimates of outlay to make them correspond with ihe government's expected Income. That unpleasant duty has been passed over to the house of representatives, which has often found that the sums asked for were $:0.000,000. 75,000,000 or $100,000,000 in excess of the predicted revenye. How the old system worked can be well illustrated by a glance at the history of the appropriations for the present fiscal year, 180609, and the next fiscal year, 1909-10. For 1908-'09 the estimates for ex- penditures carried in the tegular appro- ‘priation bills amounted to $925,254.000. The house of representatives ruthlessly cut down these figures to $i87,087,000—a reduc- tion of §138,000,000. The senate again raised the amounts carried (o $861,998,000, and after the bills came from conference committee thelr tofal' was $554,203,000— $71,000,000 less than the estimates. But the deficit for 1908-'® will be nearly $100,000,000, 80 that the estimates exceeded the govern- ment's income by $171,000,000. For 100010 the estimates were $843,000,000. The house of representatives cut that total o $873,000.000. The senate raised it again to $8%7,008000, and the acts as passed carried $583,915,000-360,000.000 less than the estimates. The deficit in revenue for 190810 i now estimated at $45,000000 or over. 80 the demands made for appropri- ations will probably exceed the govern- ments means by more than $106,000,000. The administration will bring about an admirable reform if it succeeds in keeping requesta for appropriations within the limits of the treasury's resources, indicat- ing specifically—if a deficit really seems unavoidable—how much money should be provided by additional tamation and how it should be raised. It is only fair that the executive and the senate should relieve the house of representatives of a share of the burden of combating too lavish appro- priations. Co-operation all along the line will soon show whether or mot the govern- ment 1s now spending more than is really treasury of the World's fair held in needed to do the work which the oation court 1ts omission - entitles. the de- | Chicago, and the surviving directors jexpects of it Around New York in which Willlam J Theodore Roosevelt A political play, Bryan and York theater.

Meanwhile he meddles with the rivalry of A German and an Irishman for congress, and lets himself loose in the hilarities of the Tenderioin, Th the latter locality, chaperoned by “Charles J.

The second one is no such lady as the first. She has the breeze of the Bowery rather than the air of Broadway. “Don’t wink," says Mufphy. “I'll look if it blasts my eyesight," says Bryan. Then Murphy cries out to the girl: ““There's a mouse run up vou." “Ow—000—ouch,” she screams. She yanks her skirt high as she flees: but a pair of high rubber beots, besides ample lingerle, shut out what Bryan is looking to see. , ¢ John West. the, actor assigned to an imi- tation of Bryan, requires scant touching up to make a lifelike resemblance without carlcature; the manner of the celebrated candidate is not exaggerated for travesty, and so we have a rather sober and sedate Bryan figuring In the foclery of a new ex- travaganza.

T, CGoney Tsland, where Sunday frivolity ex- ceads the combined frivelity of the other six days, was hit last Sunday by a black cloud of the blue laws when Mayor Mo- Clellan ordered that hereafter there shall be no shows in operation at the resort only on six days in the week. The order stipu- lated that SundayJicenses will be refused *all common shows,’ which means that performances to which admiasion 1s charged not conducted under theatrical licenses must close on the best day of the week— the day when the average man and the average girl can take a day off and run down to the beach.

The Atlantic Garden, one of the few re- malning buildings binding the Bowery of today to the old Bowerv—the Bowery which saw the wealth and fashion of the town go nightly to the Thalla theater and slip into the garden next door for a bite and a sip between the acts—celebrated its fifty-tirst | birthday last Friday evening under a shadow. The shadow was cast by the Manhattan bridge, already looming large to the east and projecting itself nearer and | nearer to the spot that still has the savor of the old day The garden was opened on May 8 1868, by the father of the present Kramers, and part of it is the original Bull's Head tavern of the revolution, one of Washington's many headquarters. It was the center of the German lifg of the town, and there Kramer first showed the great orchestrion, the wonder of its time. which he bought from the grand duke of Baden. There, too, the German regiments of the civil war made their headquarters and recruiting station, and there played all the famous | ands of naif a contury ago. | Sometimes strange ditficulties are eon- | countered by the voung ladles who are en- | deavoring to teach Christianity to Chirese In Greater New York.

Party Professions Flnanted hy Deme- erats In Congrens. Cleveland Plain Dealer (dem.) William J. Bryan visited Columbus the other day, speaking at a banquet. A re- porter of the Ohlo State Journal inter- viewed him upon the tariff and other | political topies of the day. The reporter | asked the Nebraskan whether he would be a candidate for president in 1912, but got no satisfactory 'answer; upen the Payne-Aldrich bill now before the senate, however, Mr. Bryan was more communi- cative. The thrice beaten candidate for president has no confidence that congress will turn out a finished tariff act that will satisty the public. On the other hand ‘“if the democrats had won and been able to carry out their tariff reform policy It would have settled the question and have per- mitted a resumption of business.’ Even Mr. Bryan would probably admit that it is very difficult to determine from the attitude of the democrats now in con- just what their ‘“‘tariff ' is. 'Their policy appears to be to get all they can for themselves and to practice reform on the other fellows. Were the democrats in the majority and pledged to revise the tariff, they would be forced by eircumstances to adopt some policy and fight for it. But their attitude now, in their foot free condition, indicates’ how shallow their conviction for real re- torm le. But, It Mr. Bryan is dissatisfied with the exhibition the members of his party are now making in congress, why does he not assert some of the prerogatives of his sumed leadership and try to guide them to see the question right? The Nebraska man stands as nominal head of a great minority party whose representatives both in the upper and lower house of congress are making their anclent faith a laughing | stock for the nation. It may be doubted whether Mr. Bryan ocould change his party's position to the extént of a single man's vote on a single | taritf bill, yet he has a perfect license to peak and the fact that he had made such an effort would give him greater freedom to critielse the tarift measure both now and after its passage ™ Cleveland Plain Deal It 18 to be hoped that Colonel Roosevelt will save his reputation by officlally ap- pointing to the Ananias club some of those wild African correspondents who are send- ing out stories aboat him that fairly coze gore and piace the colonel's humanity upon the same plane as that of the grin- ning Hottentot.
