The Inaugural Date, Inasmuch as the committee on the judiciary has passed favorably upon the joint resolution providing for a change in the inaugural date, it 18 to be presumed that technical difficulties have been overcome, putting the matier squarely before congress, While there may exist a sentimental feeling against departing from the traditional Fourth of March, the argument of general wel- fare may be urged for the proposal to shift to some such day as the fourth Thursday in April.. The original choice 18 said to have been bused on reference to the calendar to strike upon a date which came less frequently on Sunday than any other. But the record of in- augurations shows that the weather man never was consulted. It is urged that much sickness and death has .unguestionably resulted from exposure to the elements during those treacherous early days of March in Washington. Last year the condi- tions were so bad that Mr. Taft had to take the oath indoors, the parade moved through snow, and multitudes were disappointed. Republican tradi- tions warrant continuing the lnaugu- ration as a public function- and as & national fete, and the change of date, 1f it can be legally accomplishied; would be 'warranted By humatié’ éonsidera- tions. 1f legal difficpjties are insur- mountable the public function might be postponed though'actual induction into office remaln as now. National Holidays. Pending before congress is a bill to establish October 21 as a national holiday, with the title Discovery day. While it doubtless has little chance of passage, still its presence in the lists affords occasion for the reflection that at present, notwithstanding the popu- lar notion to the contrary, we have no national holiday. While the gov- ernment has for commercial purposes recognized the fact of popular observ- ance, of certain holidays, still congress has never enacted legislation legaliz- ing such dates, except as regards its jurisdiction over the District of Col- umbla, Even the proclamation of the president designating Thanksgiving mental purposes, in the District and in the territories. With those who desire to add Dis- endar of idle hours, there is no disposi- tion to quarrel. to legalize it natiomally, surely it can walt its turn., It may be questioned whether congress ought to authorize given to the Fourth of July. l’ool Klll Regulation.

Rounding Up Congressmen. Whether change i the pairing rules of the house of representatives is an arbitrary invasion of individual rights of members, as has been suggested, it certainly contemplates a rounding up of the congressmen which should make them responsible and enforce keener attention to business If it shall have this result, the public cannot but be distinetly the gainer, for while much of the absence from sessions finds the |absentee attending to committee work, still the popular idea of a congress- man’s first duty is that he shall be in his seat while the work of legislation is in progress. The pairing system cannot well be abolished under any readjustment of the rule, but certain abuses that have tration of it ought to be eliminated. With the technicalities of the case the ordinary citizen hardiy cares to con- cern himself, but he will be pleased with any step taken to Insure closer personal attention to duty on the part of the members. Ready for the Census, Millions of the public money will be spent in compiling the federal census, and the wise citizen will lend every possible individual aid to the govern- ment in making the returns accurate and complete. Under the law the enu- merators are compelled to ask a long list of questions that to many may seem impertinent, but it should be borne in mind that correct answers are not only compulsory, but also desir- able, if the vast effort to review the na- tion's progress is to be consummated. The time of the census man is short; he has much work to do in that re- stricted period, and no matter how pressed the housewife or business man may be when the enumerator calls, other matters ought to be dropped momentarily 8o that the filling of his records may be efficiently expedited. It is a patriotic duty for each individ- ual to stand up to be counted, to an- swer the specified queries without hesitation or reservation, and to be graclous as well as exact. The appeal of Census Director Durand for co-oper- atlon along these lines should have good response. The so-called insurgents at Lincoln are lamenting- that no commanding leader has come to the front in Ne- braska who ranks with La Follette or Cummins. Leaders usually arise through the emergency,” and if Ne- braska has produced no public man like La Follette or Cummins it- must be because political conditions in Ne- bragka are differefit from those in Wis- consin und Towa. Nebraska repub- licans put t\nrough their program of legislative reform three years ago un- der the present party leadership and the job was universally pronounced a good job at the time, leaving little more to be done except to hold the fort and prevent backsliding. That invitation to Congressman Hitchcock to appear before the investi- gating committee and prove up on his charges against Secretary Ballinger can hardly be a welcome one. Mr. Hitechcock made his gallery speech in the expectation that it would land him on the investigating committee where he could sit in judgment and let others furnish the testimony in the assurance that he would side “agin the govern- ment."” ously consents to permit the supreme court and state library to be housed in its new bulilding . temporarily should they be dispossessed by the construc- tion of & new state house. The State Historical library and the state library ought to be consolidated for purposes of housing and economical administra- tion, not temporarily, but permanently. According to the report of the city clerk the number of documents and motions recorded for the city counecil during the year just closed was 6,443. With twelve councilmen drawing $1,800 aplece, that makes each motion cost the taxpayers $3.33. Worth the money? Of course.

Indianapolls News. Ten Pittsburg men, all of them million- aires, have died within the last few weeks, Nearly all of them were what Is known as “self-made men,” who started In a humble walk of life and by their own efforts man- aged to got on to the great highway=or great white way—of wealth, and all of them were actively engaged In increasing their great wealth ap to the time of theft death, which came suddenly, and In most cases was untimely. Twenty-five othors, | whose wealth ranged from $100,000 to $50,- 1000, also dled suddenly within about the same period. These men had succeeded. They had got out of lite what they started in to get, but with growing possessions desire had algo &rown, and they kept on striving for more, running their physical machinery at high speed untll it broke down under the strain, at a time when It should have been glving its greatest services fo the world—not in the pliing up of a greater individual for- tune, but in making the world a better place ak the result of successful experi- | ment. And all over this nervous country of ours thousands of men are following the same program. They are succeeding mar- velously; they are plling up wealth for themselves—and their heirs. Some of them are not doing it in the nicest manner, and others are doing it In a manner that is not nice at all, ‘to speak of it most charitably. But they are succeeding and success with them Is the end that justifies the means. And then there are others who are suc- ceeding by perfectly legitimate methods, as far as commercial ethics are concerned, but, nevertheless, they are committing physiologieal crimes because they are wrecking themselves in thelr efforts, and are as certain as the Pittsburgers men- tioned to pass on to their end long before they have enjoyed that period of life which under normal conditions they would have a right to expect. The making of much money should not be the &ole end of man. There are a good many things in life that are more impor- tant. Besides, whatever may be his suc- cess, there comes a time when a man should cease from such vigorous efforts, To him who has run the machinery very hard It comes sooner than to him who has worked more lelsurely. Tt I not easy to say when this time comes, heca 1t varies widely in different individuals, but if @ man will look back over what he h: done as compared with what the avorage man has done, he can get some idea per- haps of the limit of his activity. If he has succeeded greatly, well and good; If he has succeeded somewhat, well enough; but when the time comes It must he recognized or—it will merely be a question of probat- ing his will. .

No names are given. In the Nebraska division .the views of two Omaha oankers are given, one Lincoln banker and one “rural ban- Kker.” The Omaha bankers express their views as follow My bellef is that Mr. Taft's tour has distinetly Increased his popularity in a general way throughout the country. “I belleve that wherever he goes he makes a good impression, generally speak- ing, And in epite of the Winona speech and the Ballinger case, he would carry thls state agalnst Bryan today. ‘S0 far as I am concerned, I long for nolsy Teddy back on the job, and to me personally the Ballinger case 1s very dis tréssing and has subtracted greatly frcm my opinfon of Mr. Taft. The only comfort I can find in it at all Is that whoever oe- cuples 8o big a place must make some mis- takes." “In my opinfon President Taft has made a very favorable impression among all classes of people, It is belleved that he is In hearty accord with the popular feeling in favor of the various reforms under- taken by his predecessor, and while he will not make so much fuss about it, that in his quiet, judiclal way he will accom- plish more than President Roosevelt could have done. In the matter of the tariff it Is recognized that the president cannot do the whole thing. Congress must assist him, and In accepting for the time being the last tarift legislation Mr. Taft has only acted In accord with the business feeling all over the country. It is belleved that what- ever chimnges have been made are in ihe main for the better, and that any:h'ng like complete adjustment can only be oh- tained through an unblased commission. The Ballinger-Pinchot discussion has not been much considered in this state. Tt is, T think, generally belleved that both men are acting jn good faith and that Presi- dent Taft is fully conversant with the merits of the case. “I think If no other questions Influcnced the voters that Taft could easlly carry the state over Bryan. The latter had a rery small plurality at the last election and was many votes behind the democratic candidate for governor. The democratic success was due to an adriot management of the liquor question, joined with other issues upon which they were united and the republicans divided, “Mr. Taft was very enthusiastically re- celved here and I am quite sure he 'ost nothing in popularity by what he h sd in his speeches and perhaps has gained." The Lincoln banker says ‘T do not think there has been any particular change in this locality toward the president, I cer- tainly do not think he Is any stronger than |' he was at the election, and I cannot say that I think his popularity has waned much. The central west ls, as you very well know, not very strong on,the tariff proposition, and probably his Winona ad- dress djd not help him any along that line with the people in this section. “I have not heard very much regarding the Ballinger case—only what I have seen in the papers. My opinion is that he ought to stand by one or the other. While I do not like to judge anyone without knowing all the circumstances, my Impression is that he is making & mistake in trying to pacify both Ballinger and Pinchot, and the quicker he kicks one of them out the better. “As to Taft's being able to carry this state against Bryan today, It is very doubt- ful If he could do so. I think it depends very largely on what stand he takes and what he is abel to carry out in the present congress as to whether he will be stronger or weaker. I cannot help feeling that there has been a little disappolutment through- out the west, although he may land all right In time." This is from “a rural banker:" “Mr. Taft {s not so popular as formerly in this state.

The Criminal Court of Appeals of Okla- homa has set an example for other courts that is worthy of the highest commenda- tion. In handing down a decision recently the Oklahoma court said: ‘Now that our criminal jurisprudence is in its formative period, we are determined to do all in our power to place it upon the broad and sure foundation of reason and justice, 50 that the innocent may find it to be a refuge of defense and protec- tion, and that the gullty may be convicted, and taught that it is an exceedingly ser- lous and dngerous thing to violate the laws of thid state. This decision was rendered in the case of a man who had been convicted of murder. On taking an appeal to the higher court the defendant's attorneys set up the .| plea that the indictment was defective. The defect In the Indictment, as pointed out by the attorneys, eonsisted in the omission of the word “the" before the words “State of Oklahoma.” The court of appeals ruled that this omission was not fatal despite the fact that some high legal authorities had ruled to the contrary. In affirming the sentence of the lower court the higher tribunal showed a sensible disposition not to Interfere with & righteous verdict be- cause of a trivial technicality in the In- dictment. A mere defect in the wording of an iIn- dictment {8 utterly without bearing on the gullt or innecence of the man aceused.

Smith of California, who se- cures & $10,000 life position on the new Customs board, owes his career to Willlam H. Taft. Smith went out to the Philippines with the volunteer army, decided to stay there, was appointed a place under the civil government, and. by successive pro- motions—always as a Taft man—reached the top. He recently gave way to Cameron Forbes, and on returning to this country now goes on the new Customs court. Mr. Lloyd-George is still making merry at the expense of those Englishmen who belioved (with Lord Roberts and Lord Charles Beresford) that war is at Bng- land’s door. “They mistake,” he told the Reading redicals, “the rattling of the milkman's cans in the morning for the Jingle of the spurs of German hussars.

"Brooklyn‘ Eagle. Something llke 1,000 officers and men on the battleship Nebraska will chortle in al- most ghoulish glee over the news that the battleship Georgla has run aground near the Norfolk Navy yard. If there's any hoodoo floating ‘round, it fs not the Ne- braska's. After the Georgla and the Ne- braska had their little collision a lot of ab- surd landsmen chattered about the Ne- braska being hoodooed. It made glorious time on its trip north, but even after that the New York newspapers starred that mystic hoodoo. It was @ bit of rellef to the Nebraska fellows when the Georgla had a hole punched in its outer hull by the propeller of the collier Vestal at Hampton Roads. “The hoodoo is hers, not ours,” was a natural enough exclamation. The ground- ing of the Georgla makes assurance doubly sure. No mysterious powers of evil have picked the Nebraska for their plaything. Henceforth it has only to give the Geor- gla a wide berth and all will be well. Not that the officers and men on the Nebraska want anything bad to pursue a sister ship. Far from (t.
