It is to be hoped that Judge Dean appreciates the cold-blooded way in which his democratic assoclates threw him over thé ropes before they started. The judge trying to determine what is a drummer's home has only to look at the registered letter records. It is where he sends his pay check, of course.

The judicial temperament of Mr. Taft, a mighty good thing for a pre dent to possess, has come to the fore twice during his southern trip. The American grows up with the idea that the president can accomplish anything he likes, and only after the schoolboy |becomes a student of world's affairs |in his manhood years does he begin to realize that the president’s fune- tions, while executive, are not mag Congress, the sole legislative power for the nation, sometimes seeks to shift responsibility for sins both of omissfon and commission by blaming the White House, but Mr. Taft has served notice that he declines to be held to account for matters whose con- |trol is vested absolutely in branches |of the government outside his author- ity. Not only has Mr. Taft pointed out the duties of congress as the legisla- tive arm of the people, but he also has |firmly shown to the voters their re- sponsibility to themselves. His plain speech on the waterways situation, in which he put the success of the move- ment flatly up to the citizens at large, coupled with his later declaration that he would do all in his power to recom- mend needed legislation, and that it {was then the duty of the representa- {tives of the people to act, makes it manifest that the president will toler- ‘nlv no ‘“sidestepping,” which is the bane of any Institution whether pri- vate or public. Mr. Taft's interpreta- tion of the functions and duties of the co-ordinate branches of the national |government will not be accepted everywhere, but it is unquestionably the view adhered to by the founders of the republic and the builders of the constitution, A Checkrein on Debt and Folly. The decisive actlon of the authori- ties of Northwestern university ter- minating the extravagance of social ri- valry among the undergraduates can- not but have a wholesome effect upon the student body. The Americans are an extravagant people, and the boy of today has come into a greater freedom of pursestrings than his father knew in his youth, but the modern tendency has the peril of making spendthrifts, and it is wise In the elders who have charge of the training of adolescence to call a halt. Debt 1s a pitfall that lies close to the borcers of reckless expenditure, and the warning against financial carelessness and the mill- stone of debt was timely and needed. Besides, even if the students can really afford the outlay involved in the expensive soclety functions that have been curbed, continuance of that but- terfly chasing has no place in the seri- ous university, where minds are to be trained and characters molded for the work of the world. All work must have its modicum of play, of course, but such restriction as that now im- posed is a judicious way of impressing upon the future ecitizen the lesson of living not only within his means, but also within his sphere. B34 nus b _{ The Nation and the Pole, The Peary-Cook controversy seems to be one of those ‘‘entangling alli- ances” against which our forefathers warned us, judging from the attitude of the State department, which has just declined to be drawn into a mani- festation of favor toward either of the belligerents. This is obviously a case for Uncle Sam to remain a non-com- batant at least until the issues are made up. While our new dread- naughts are doubtless as efficlent at crushing ice as at smashing targets, for every temperature. Rather let the navy remain acclimated to the zones |0t possible torrid battle than congeal its energles in a frigid search for brass tubes and tattered flags umonx purple floes. The scientific mind is welcome to its exhaustive play of the Cook-Peary war game, but let it remain a game, fas- cinating if you choose, but no more sanguinary than a prolonged chess match. Since both contesting generals are Americans, Uncle Sam may lel- surely reflect in the background that it s all In the famlly. But it is boys’ play, and father need not take a hand. invasion by a modern armada, and the contentment of the furclad maiden in her igloo is undisturbed by the daz- zling glory of the American uniform. An Amazing Case. The crackbrained ‘“‘confession” of a murders for which Mme. Steinheil is on trial is another of the many freaks |of mentality resulting from the ab- sorption of the people of Paris in that |extraordinary case. Mme. Steinheil herself admits in her calmer moments that she has been unduly influenced by theorles evolved in discussion, until it is diffiecult to discern between her |real story of the fateful night and her |imaginations inspired by outer influ- jences upon an abnormal condition of |mind. 4 This fascinating woman, whose personal history |solved mystery of the death of a for- jmer president of the republic, scems to have become the center of a contaglon in criminology. The human intellect is peculiarly susceptible to the influence of cmotional cases, and only the behind such intimate study. The Parisian, a |natural prey to the evils artificlal habits of life and trend of thought, has worked himself into such @ neurotic state over the Steinhell case that the world need not be surprised at any outcome..

The Roosevelt Canar All the international facilities of the greatest news gathering organization of the world had to be suddenly di- verted yesterday to the running down of a story that Mr. Roosevelt had been killed in Africa. Inasmuch as the rumor originated in this country, not pasging over the cables until inquiry was made from America, it was soon branded as a canard, but not before the entire country was stirred by the shocking report. common, Every little while the wires carry a bulletii about the assassina- tion of some Eurepean monarch who is subsequently found to be in vigor- ous health. It has bécome one of the regular functions of newspapers to waste energy and means in running to earth such idle rumors ‘as this about Mr. Roosevelt. Readers little realize the expenditure of effort In establish- | ing the accuracy of what is printed in | the current news columns. Verifica- tion of the published news is only part of the ‘day's work. Determination of the value of idle rumors or hoaxes de- liberately set afloat has also to be ac- complished, until the wonder is that the newspaper makes so few mistakes. How such stories as that about Mr. Roosevelt are started is seldom dis- covered. The birth of the canard is usually shrouded in as much mystery as Is the origin of the word. General Coppinger. The death of General John J. Cop- pinger, following so close on that of iGeneral 0. 0. Howard, must impress ug with the rapidity with which the old commanders are passing away, partic- ularly those with whom we have been familiar by reason of their former as- signments in charge of the military Department of the Missouri, with headquarters in Omaha. General Coppinger commanded the Department of the Missourl several years just prior to the war with Spain, for which he mobilized the troops in |the posts under his jurisdiction, and set out with them for the ficld of hos- tilities direct from his Omaha head- quarters. While in Omaha General Coppinger won many friends, whose acquaintance he was always glad to renew; and after his retirement from active service he always looked back to his sojourn here with fond recollections. General Cop- pinger answered as perfectly as ‘any man could answer to the typical char- acterization of “‘a soldier and a gentle- man.” In his passing a good soldier, who fought as nobly for his adopted country as dig“any of its native sons, responds to the last drum tap. —_— Pretense, Why is it that the democrats in Ne- bragka seem to think that they have to make their campaigns by pretending +|to be something which they are not? If a man sincerely believes in dem- ocratic prineiples, and in the superior- ity of the democratic party, why should he not be proud of it instead of trying to excuse and apologize for {t? ‘Why should a democrat running for office in Nebraska think it necessary to pretend that he is a populist? Why should a democrat asking for democratic support pretend he is a "nonplrtlaan with the expectation of fooling some dullard who cannot see through the trick? Why should a democratic campaign |manager cause to be put out bogus cir- |culars pretending to come from ‘‘pro- | gressive republicans,” when the demo- |crats have no use whatever for repub- licans, progressive or otherwise, except to get them to vote for democrats? Why do Nebraska democrats prefer to travel a crooked road when the straight road is just as good? If it be a sign of a great man to de- {cline a decoration, then Ambassador | White is doubly great, for his refusal {of the grand cordon of the Legion of Honor at the hands of the French gov- ernment is & repetition of his action when he left his former post at Rome. | Mr. White is a splendid example of the |fact that a man may become a veteran in the ccurts of Europe without sacri- |flcln' any of his loyalty for the best of the old-time American traditions. ! Hidebound New England is certainly |broadening out when a Jewish rabbi |ean exchange pulpits with the Congre- | gational pastor of historic Old Soath church. This is a significant and hope- ful sign of the new emancipation from Puritanism, which will be welcomed by all who have been hungering for the day when religious faith shoukl be lifted from its aucient narrowness. | If the library bonds are beaten it is because our voters did not understand |the proposition, which was completely overshadowed by other issues.

That's nothing new.

The French Parliament has settled down to business in an unusually quiet way. A general election for deputies comes next May, and every member possessed of poli- tical instinct is on his good behavior. Aside from making a campaign record, there is & serfous, perplexing problem confronting the members, a problem more conductive to |earnest thought thban theatrical stunts. The | national deficit, estimated at $0,000000 last spring, now amounts to $40,000000, and is growing. A suggestion of issuing bonde to make up the shortage is not received with favor by Finance Minister Cockery, who holds to the old-fashioned notion that nations like individuals should not spend | more than they recelve. M. Cockery pro- | poses to cut the outgo to fit the income. | Therefore a very meager quanity of ‘‘po- | Ntical pork” casts dlsquieting shadows in | Parlfament at the threshold of the cam- paign. To take up the deficit the finance | minister proposes an increase in inheritance | taxes =0 as to add $5,000,000 to the 60,000,000 | now drawn annually from this source. In- | come tax projects are held up, as this | means of revenue-getting is considered | dangerous to handle just before an election Taxes on wines and tob cco, the latter a government monoply, must yield more revenue, and the receipt-stamp system will be widely extended.

Even without these increased taxes, France |s among the most highly taxed of European nations, fts annual budget ammounting to $810,000,000, only $10,000,00) less than the budget of Great Britain. ¥ During his excurslons at abroad, the czar of Russia 1s treated to greater varlety of steel-clad scenery than any other traveling monarch. On this land journey to and through Italy his route was lined with bristling bayonets. It was not an unusual decoration of the passing scenery. It is necessary for his health. Without it he would not enjoy the un- famillar view, and heart fallure might set in. Everywhere he goes this strict guard stands between him and the grave. There is always at least one plot on foot for his assassination, and numerous attempts on his life have been made. But thé keen and restless .watch over him have been so successful that he has never actually come face to face with violence. There fs abundant reason for these safeguards. No monarch of the old world has as many im- plachble enemies, no one has given such abundant cause for degperate revenge than the government he heads. Italy, with Is colonles of anarchists unusually violent in speech, pald him the homage of uncommon calm. Not a black hand was raised, not one discordant note reached tne monarch's ears. On his departure, however, the ra- dial Masons of Rome summoned for trial Erother Nathan, mayor of the city, on the grave charge of paying a visit to the czar. ‘e home and “Tay Pay” O'Connor, member of Parlla- ment and Irish Nationalist ambassador to the supporters of Ireland's aspirations in the United States, clearly and succinctly pletured the passing of the old Ireland and the uplift of the new in a recent address before students of Harvard college. *Three hundred thousand peasants are now land- lords,” he sald, “'250,000 are left tenants. In ten or fifteen years 500,000 families, 2,500,000 people, will own thelr own farms. Then we will have a national fabric on the soundest of all foundations. That is, the trans- formation from the old Ireland to the new. As much has been accomplished in other lines. England has given up the at- tempt to make Irishmen English—some- thing that can't be done—by teaching the school children that they are English and not Irish, and we now have a national vniversity. Irish self-government as for- mulated by us is a demand that we may manage our own affalrs, just as each of vour forty-seven states manage theirs. Self-government will mean a prosperous and peacetul Ireland; it will be a good thing for Ireland, good for England and good for all mankind.” e Ferrer as a ‘“philosophical anarchist” may by his preachments have inflamed the minds of “militant” anarchists abroad to the rioting point, but some of the speci- fications under this charge are not par- ticularly noteworthy. For instance, in one of his essays occurs this expression: *“‘The soldler's uniform conceals crimes against humanity and the misery of his own ex- istence.” “This may seem severe com- ments the Boston Transeript, “but it s not nearly so condemnatory as Napoleon's estimate of the soldier's place in modern clvilization. At St. Helena Napoleon, in analyzing the varlous professions, gave preference to medicine as the most Im- mediately benevolent, when one of his hearers reminded him he had forgotten soldlers, “ ‘Soldlers? responded the great- est of modern captains, taking up the ch lenge. ‘The soldier in analysis is a cut- throat and a robber. He not only pro- Auces nothing himself, but he consumes the products of others and siays the pro- ducers.’ “If any phflosophical man of let- ters had said this," remanks the Tran- seript, “militarism's apostles would all fall afoul of him, but coming from Napoleon they pass it over In discreet silence," i " The decreasing number of soldlers in France may lead to the use of blacks in Africa as military reserves. Two years ago there were 47,00 young Frenchmen serving with the colors. Owing to the edopuon of the two-vear system, and the Cecline In the population, the French army twenty-seven years hence will it Is esti- mated, have sunk to 37100. To fill the vold, all the military authorities, and most of the parllamentary men, with the excep- tion of the soclalists, advocate the forma- tlon of a biack army, recruited fn the French Sudan, and available not only for African servi but also, in the event of war, for service in Europe. England may come to the same pass, If militarism grows upon her; and. in the course of time, Europe would present the spectacle | of the black men from Africa and the | brown men from India fighting the white men’s battles in the so-called heart of | western civilization - If the extent of the distress which exists in London is to be gauged by the numbers of applications to the distress comm!um\u; for assistance, the coming winter appears likely to be even more trying for the poo | than the last one. In the city of London | and the twenty-eight metropolitan bor- oughs the registers were opened on Sep | tember 20, four duys earlier than last year. | There was at once @& rush by men and women out of work, and before the end ol the week 7,864 men and 71 women had en- rolled their names In the books. In the first five days during which the registers were open last year the names of 5,63 men and ® women were recorded. A com- parison of the totals shows an increase this year of more than 40 per cent. During the whole of last season 45,000 names were registered, so that If thé applications con- | tinue to Increase at a proportionate rate the total number this winter will be some- thing like 7 60 A% %mr“ (i POLITICAL DRIFT. Reformers may come and reformers go, but the Philadelphia Tammany goes on with undiminished power. Omaha and Buffalo divide honors for prompt election returns, due to the use of voting machines. Citizens of Buffalo voted three to one to i petition the New York legislature for a | charter embodying the commission form of government, Tom Johnson, defeated mayor of Cleve- land, s not satisfied with four runs and one out, and announces he will stay right in Cleveland and prepare for the sixth run, two years hence. Mayor-eléct Gaynor of New York signal- ized his election by sneering at newspapers that did not support him. In the circum- stance the judge would have been a gainer by practicing the teaching of a Christian brother. The Chicago Inter-Ocean, in digging among city contract bills, discovered a paid warrant for $46,984.20, handed to a con- tractor for excavating “shale rock,” which now proves to be common Chicago dirt. The city hall is properly amazed over the deal belng found out. Prohibition reformers in Alabama have put the state treasury in the hole by about $1,000,000. Varlous sources of revenue wers made unlawful, and no other means of “ralsing the wind” was provided® Hence the state s obliged to borrow money to meet current expenses.

Pittsburg Dispatch Speaking at Jackson, Miss., Pres'dent Taft sald: “If 1 were advising young men as to thelr future profession 1 would say there are greater opportunities in agricul ture than In any other profession in the country.” It is to be feared that the pres dent's views of farming as a profession have been prejudiced by the outlook from his brother's $1,600,000 ranch in Texas course, everyone has read of the Kansas and Missourl farmers who spend their time joy-riding in thelr nawly acquired autos and the grand planos that grace their country mansions, and Secretary Wil- son has made farming one grand, sweet Bong In his annual reports. But the rush from the city to the country remains de- ferred. It is not probable even that the president's endorsement will accelerate It The average city resident would like to be a farmer. As George Ade or somebody has sald, there Is not a man in any of those skyscraper offices who, when he tilts back his chalr and dream of retirement, but wishes for a farm. Possibly that ap- peals to him because of the promise it holds out of escaping the exactions of the beef trust and the other food boosters. But his idea of farming is to be a gentle- man farmer, with hired hands to do the work. He does not hanker after hding the man with the hoe himself.. Practical hus bandry is teo much llke work to attract the city dweller. The opportunities are there, but they will have to become Insist ent before there Is any appreciable rush to get them by the city populations.
