South l‘rindly to 'rm Twice during the last eighteen months President ‘Taft has voiced a very kindly attitide toward the south and both times the warm-hearted peo- ple of that section have responded in kind. The' people of the south are fond of the president and have not hesitated to make it known. When he took a trip through the southern states Immediately following his elec- tion and demonstrated beyond the pos- sibility of a doubt that he was a friend he broke down completely the barriers of ‘sectional prejudice, which have been so long in crumbling, and won his way right into the hearts of the .| people, During his recent trip to Chicago the president again took occasion to express his regard for the sunny land of cotton. He spoke In glowing terms of the prosperity and progressiveness to be found “south of the old line.” The routherners consider it character- istie of him and as a “happy reminder of the sincerity of his regard.” Hence they responded again, most cordially, to his kind words, expreasing faith in him and in his personality, even though abating none of their political differences. The Charleston News and Courfer, commenting upon this ad- dress, said, in part: ‘We have entire confidence in Mr. Taft's triofidship for this part of the country. He proved it. The president, In truth, has at heart the welfare of the entire country, of every part of 1t, and whatever mistakes he may have made or may yet make, time will develop the honesty of his purposes. The great genial, cordial, warm- hearted southerner does not hold a prejudice and express friendship. He is frank &nd outspoken in his likes and dislikes and, political blas or no po- litical bias, it he honors and’ respects a publie official he says so. . An honest acknowledgment of the honest pur- poses and intentions of the chief ex- ecutive of our nation will.do much. to help him secure for us the laws which are needed and demanded north and south alike. Navies to Have 0il Fuel, The Navy department of the United States is now. very busy establishing oll storage depots on our different island possessions throughout the world as an essential in 'the further development of our navy. In addition to this contracts are being let for the supply of oil and for the conmstruction of ofl transportation and delivery ships whereby these depcts and our navy may be supplied. ;The work is being pushed as rapidly as possible and the great battleship furnaces of our navy are soon to be fitted out with ofl burners. In this the United States clalms an /| advantage over the other nations of ! {the- world in naval power. England [ haa'vast ool fields Which haye assured ke | hor naval An the past. These flelds have ilso been:a great source of ‘revenite, .but of' the oil' wsed In Great Britain 94 cent comes from for- eign countries. England realizes its handicap and as a consequence is not changing the power equipment of her battleships and cruisers as rapidly as she would otherwise do, The United States furnishes 64 per cent of the oil supply of the world and hence should have no trouble securing the necessary supply for our navy re- gardless of its size. Experts insist that ofl burners can be handled with more effectiveness and with less ex- pense than coal and that ofl is easier to handle, both in the boiler rooms and in transfer from the supply ships and depots to the tanks of the great sea fighters. Assuming these comdi- tions to be as represented; then in the change.which is taking place from coal to oll America should have an advan- tage both in naval strength and possi- Dbilities and in the upbuilding of a mer- chant marine. American Locomotives in Africa. While on his way north from Khar- tum to Cairo, Theodore Roosevelt found that his Pullman sleeper was being drawn by & Baldwin locomotive of Philadelphia make. It seems that when Lord Kitchener wanted locomo- ves to transport his armies into the interior of Africa during his campaign against the dervishes, the English manufacturers were too slow for him and he therefore placed his orders in America. The orders were executed with such promptness that the British general was able to accomplish the purpose of his campaign more rapidly than he had antieipated. Another tri- umph for American industry and en- ergy and incidentally a large number of American locomotives in the Sou- dan. It must be rather incongruous to sit in a modern American sleeper, drawn by a glgantic American locomotive and look out on a landscape dotted here and there with the ruins of a clviliza- tion thousands of years old. . Yet the ruins ‘amoéng the sandhiilz or upper Bgypt echo and re-echo to the roar and shriek of modern American locomo- tives, while the beasts of the desert slink away and howl gt the unusual apparition. It is not so much a shock to the sense of the propriety and con- eistency to think of rallroad equip- ment in Bgypt, but that it should be of American make emphasizes the differ- ence in the ages contrasted. But this is really not so extraordi- nary, for scarcely a country or nation on the earth is unfamiliar with ma- chimery of American maufacture. Americans go everywhere and sell goods almost everywhere. American tourists can purchase American-made goods In eyery city in the world, to which they can easily go. It must have been a very pleasant surprise to our homeward bound huater to rld.‘ 'I'HIE BEF OM.AHA THURSDAY MABCH 24, 1910 over the sandy plains of the Soudan behind a glant locomotive bearing the American trademark. Anothier Terrible Mare’s Nest. Becoming possessed of the habit of seeing things, Collier's Weekly has un- covered another terrible mare's nest— this time out in Kansas—where ls ex- posed a vile conspiracy to upset the elvil service laws so far as designed to protect the census, In one of the Kansas districts, so it is reported, civil service examinations for census enumerators were held in February, but before the papers got back from ‘Washington “the list of those to whom the places were to go” was published “by the local republican machine,” and further, ‘‘a practically meaning- less examination with essentially no competitive quality leaves the ma- chines as free as they could wish to distribute government census positions among the faithful.” Buch a state of affairs, if it existed, would most naturally appear to be alarming to those unfamiliar with the conditions facing those in charge of the census taking. While we cannot speak with definiteness about Kansas we can say with reference to Nebraska, where we have no doubt the situation is quite ‘similar, that the difficulty en- countered everywhere has been not to keep the political machines from awarding census positions to the faith- ful, but to get competent persons in sufficient number to apply for them. The fact is that census supervisors have been compelled to appeal to busi- ness interest and local patriotism to furnish men to serve as enumerators to whom a two weeks' job at not to exceed $4 or $5 a day has hlknn great \ attraction. As a consequence the women enumerators, who have neither votes nor pull, will be largely dlspro- portionate to the men enumerators, and the census is likely to suffer in the event that the. enumeration period is enveloped in bad weather., What is true witih reference to the enumerators applies still more. forei- bly to the clérical force of the census bureau, which by law must be appor- tioned among the varlous states in the ratio of population. The first civil service examination. for .census bureau clerks produced the anomaly of a shortage of from 30 to 60 per cent on the quotas of a large number of states, and the second examination to supply the deficiency has still left some of them short. Examinations were not such as to bar an intelligent person from successfully passing them, but the prospect of' a government job for a few weeks, or a few months, carry- ing a salary less than is earnéd by teamster, to say nothing of a ‘chauf- feur, has no temptation, whether of- fered by a. civil service board or a political machine. The obstacles w) cengus officials have had to. over this. year- arise from the conditions of prosperity that exist throughout the country, and par- ticularly in the west, where there are no unemployed to draw on who are worth employing. The lurid talk about the census being packed with about the censue does not apply to this territory and it most likely runs about 99 per cent figment of the imagination everywhere, The Gardening Fever. In the spring the man-of-family’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of re- ducing the cost of living with a garden spade and hoe. Then he gets busy and garden fever soon drives him into a delirfum, As a rule this form of spring fever takes the office man first, and from the moment the germ be- comes active life is a burden In his|’ company. He dreams gardening by day and by night, his conversation re- turns to the soil and there is no pres- ence so sacred as to make the subject taboo. This lasts ‘until the garden is planted and ‘“‘everything" sprouted. The victim then recovers and it is all over for everything but .the weeds. This fever comes annually and is quite epidemic for at least six weeks. Then the amateur agriculturist realizes that he has been an agrjcultural boomer, it not a nature faker. This longing of the city man for the soil is only another form of the fever which drives hundreds to the brooks and ponds with hook and line to catch the speekled beautles which seldom bite. Other forms are to be found in the duck hunter and in the mountain climber. It.is a revival of the early stages of human existence, according to Darwin, and harks back to the time when the primitive man roamed the forests and sought new flelds to con- quer. But unlike those olden days, this fever rarely lasts. The easiest way out of it, for it is entirely harm- less as regards everything but the landscape, is to let the fever victim sow his garden truck, weeds and cure himself, All of the slates for the democratic membership of the new rules commit- tee include Congressman Fitzgerald of the Brooklyn district, who led the dem- ocratic defection at the beginning of the session and saved the Cannon rules from revision at that time. The fact that Fitzgerald and his followers were promptly read out of the party by Mr, Bryan does not seem to cut any figure with the democrats in congress. Times are changing. The young men of today are no longer bound by the party ties of thelr fathers.—Congressman Hitcheock. The significance of this 1s that Mr, Hiteheock is now running as a demo- crat for the seat in the senate which his father warmed us & republican. The democrats in South Omaha seem to think that they would get the harvest his|" worst of it if paper ballots are used in- stead of voting machines in the im- pending municipal election. Why should a democrat be less able to mark his ballot correctly than a republican? + President Taft says that more team work s needed in congress. The bat- ting average was raised last week, but the fleld work s still ragged and the manifest disposition to slug the umpire is losing backers for the players, Congressman Foss of Massachusetts and Congressman Foss of Illinois are brothers, but on opposite sides of the political fence. Well, that ought to add spice to the interesting tilts on the floor of the honse, Colonel Roosevelt should be very careful about writing the history of Texas. The people down thére are rather touchy on some points con- nected with the settlement of the state.

The message called him to the bedside of his two children, sudden viotims of ptomaine polsoning, Who were though to be fatally stricken. The thrill of battle urged him to continue in, the thick ‘of the fight to the finish. Parental love won. Tho vision of the little ones tossing in agony was too much. Quickly leaving the chamber, he was rushed in a taxicab to his residence, 2106 O street north- west. When he arrived home a physician was working on the children. Herolo efforts produced results. Soon the children were declared out of danger. And Murdock, happy at heart that his loved ones were safe, hastened to the house to assist in “Uncle Joe's” defeat. Senator Depew the other evening told @ story on himself, and it has since had a good deal of vogue In the senate lobby. “Wihen I was a very young man,” he said, % went out to make a political speech with some older men one night. They wanted something red hot, and I handed it out. “I just turned myself to skin the opposi- tion and, on the whole, the audience seemed to lke it. The more they cheered the more I warmed up to it. 1 was im- success. But after I got home I was worried. I had roasted the other side awfully. Ilay awake “de.,g it it wouldn't react and injure our side more than the opposition. “Then I bethought of some personal alius sionis 1 had made that might easily be con- structed as libelous, I got a good deal ex- olted and slept very little, In the morning I hurried down to see whether the papers had rodsted me. The meeting was reported all over the front page. ‘I plunged Into it, shivering in nervousness. But I needn't have worrled. What it sald about my speech was in the last two lines: “‘A young man named Depew also epoke.” "' It 1s not often that a United States sena- tor will admit that expensive offices are oreated simply for the sake of providing senators with sinecures. -Yet this s what Senator Lodge and Senator Bailey admitted the other day, and both of them are stick- lers on the constitution, respect for the Jaws, good government and other pet phrases which statesmen delight to roll un- der their tongues. Senator Lodge was protesting against the committee on organizations of corpora- tions in the District of Columbla being given charge of a certain bill. He con- tended eloquently that it should go to the committee on the District of Columbia. The backer of the bill in question belleved that it would have no show in this com- mittee. “Why was this committee organized,” demanded Senator Cummins, “if it is not to be permitted to consider bills that prop- erly should go before it?" “It was organized to provide a oommn- tee membership,” called out Senator Bailey. “Yes,” echoed Senator Lodge, “to fur- nish @ committee om.lrmumun-" Becretary "Kno¥ conumna- those ‘engaged in the chasé after the nimble doliar to turn: their attention to the “Near Bast.” In his opinion thet 1s the most profitable field for American Investment anywhere In the world. This is what Mr. Knox says on this point: “I presume there is no section of the world where there is greater immediate opportunity for American commerce than in the near east, especially in Turkey in Asla, We are now diplomatically support- ing the expansion of American commerce and enterprise in the Ottoman empire. The | reglons of the Black Sea, the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates and the plalns of Mesoptamia, once the granary of the world, appear to afford a fleld of almost un- paralleled importance for development un- der the new Ottoman government with the ald of foreign capital and matedials. “The extent of the commerce of some of the cities In Asla Minor is' astounding. From one city alone, which is 125 miles in- 1and, there is & commerce of over $70,000,000 brought out In caravans and on the backs of camels and asses every year. The con- summation of all ‘enterprise in the forelgn field must, of course, depend upon Indi: vidual initiative, but propet encouragement and assistance through the State depart- ment are extremely valuable. Some believe it.one of the greatest opportunities for Amerlcan capital, and for American pre Quets, manufactured products principally, in the world." Senator Frye is still confined to his home. Though the Maine statesman is 79 years old, he has been in good health until the present attack. He 1s chairman of the committee on commerce, which has the rivers and harbors bill for consideration. Senator Elking, second on the committee, is working overtime on ‘the railroad rate bill, leaving the third man on’ the com- merce committee, Senator Knute Nelson, to bear the brunt of the hearings on the rivers and harbors measure, Senator Nel- son {8 second on judiclary and chairman of public lands, which, with the Ballinger- Pinchot Investigation, keeps the hardy Minnesotan on a hop, skip and jump from early morning to late at night. The Bal- liger-Pinchot investigation has produced already 2,000 pages of testimony, and the end is not yet in sight. United States Senator Albert Jeremiah Beveridge is the most immaculately attired man In congress. He loves luxurious sur- roundings. Until the automobiles became the fashionable means of transportation | Mr. Beveridge had the smartest horses | and carriages In Washington. Now he has the most elaborately equipped automobile, When Mr. Bevéridge becomes somewhat warm as & result of a heated debate in the senate he goes to his committee room and puts on a fresh collar. The senate barbers are called upon each day to use all the arts of thelr trade when the senator from Indiana visits the shop re- served for members of the senate. Belng such ‘a fastidious person, oné would get the idea that Senator Beveridge was attired In silks soon after he came into this world and that his love for luxury was Inherited rather than culti- vated. As a matter of fact, the senator is enjoying now those things which were not in his youth. Or, in other words, he is enjoying comforts which he earned by the sweat of his brow and by callousing his handa, Charles H. Evans, who dled suddenly the other day in his 89th year, was in his prime the most expert tariff statisticlan in the capital city, and long enjoyed the esteem and confidence of McKinley, Dingley, Payne, Dolliver and. other leading demp- crats, [ncluding the late Senator Beck of Kentucky; former Secretary of the Treas- ury Carlisle, and the late Speakers Crisp and Samuel J.
