Whether Mr. Roosevelt has cabled Mr, Pinchot to meet him or has in vited Minister Straus to a conference, or from time to time has interviews with distinguished Americans whom he may meet on his Buropean itinerary, we may put it down as settled that he will not give public expression to his views on American polities or take sldes in any pending political contro- versies until after he gets back on American goil It 1s authoritatively announced in the current issue of the Outlook, which parades the name of Theodore Roose- velt as ‘“contributing editor,” and whose publisher is now with Mr. Roose- velt's party, that Mr. Roosevelt “‘not only 18 not expressing any opinion con- cerning American politics, but that he is not even forming amy in his own mind, and will refrain from doing even the latter until sufficlent time has elapsed after his return to America to enable him to become entirely familiar with the whole situation.” Speaking for itself, the Outlook goes on to say that no one who knows Mr. Roosevelt would expect anything else and adds: Ho far from acting on unconsidered impulse, as he has sometimes been charged with doing. he is not accustomed to de- cide any question until all the elements necessary to the decision are before him. 'hen his mind acts with expanding rapidity, and when a judgment has once been reached he rarely finds reason for changing It, because all the reasons have been duly welghed before the declsion. The readers of the Outlook may, there- fore, safely disregard all statements pur- porting to be reports of Mr. Roosevelt's political opinfons When he Is ready, after his return, to declare his views on current politl question whether through a public address or through the Outiook, it will be so done that there will be no possible question as to thelr authenticity 8o put it down that for three months more Mr. Roosevelt will probably be freely talking about hunting in Africa, the latest in art, literature and sclence, European government and diplomatic intrigue and world peace, but on the subject of American politics, Cannon- ism and insurgency, tariff revision and railway regulation he will maintain a: conspiracy of silence, and when, in his | will sit up and take notice. President Taft Prefers Results. President Taft has placed a definite | program of legislation before congress | and, although sectionsl and factional interests have been the cause of much bickering and delay, yet the program ‘slt-adlly is making progress with but | little and unimportant changes. Presi- dent Taft knows that his administra. tion will be finally tested by results, | and with characteristic eagerness he has been pushing the forces at his com- mand to keep all the party promises that have been made. He is not blind to the fact that the public has been put in a suspicious and critical attitude toward him. Although his way of do- ing things may not be exactly the same as those to which the American peoplé have been lately accustomed, that is | no sign that they are not thoroughly practical. His efforts have been to the point and he has been constantly push- ing to have the entire program carried | out that nothing of real importance on {the administrative slate may be left over for the next session. In seeking to get results President | Taft has not undertaken to be a trouble | hunter, nor yet to make himself a source of contention, Because of this he has been called weak-kneed and | gullible, both of which statements are without foundation in fact. Although he does not court antagonisms to his proposed measures, yet he 1s steadily guiding the great federal leglslative machinery and hopes to be able to stand before the people, when congress | adjourns, with a finished program and promises transformed into real reform laws. Let the Nonresidents Help. The statement made by Bullding In- | spector Withnell directs attention to the need of impressing nonresident owners of Omaha property with their | duty to help out in the upbuilding and | beautitying of the city. Not that all of our nonresident property owners are remiss in these respects, but that the nonresidents as a class lag in enter- own time, he has his say everybody | I'HE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, APRIL 2 1910. few notable exceptions. Nearly every nonresident property owner has some one in Omaha representing him, and the Omaha agent should take upon himself to impress his principal with a sense of proportionate responsibility for the city's future advancement The Periodical Coal Strike. A general walkout of 300,000 coal miners in the United States, on a gen eral strike order, means that practi- cally all of the bituminous coal mines of the colintry are shut down, with no definite assurance of starting again until a new wage scale agreement has been reached. general presents a problem of consid- erable importance to nearly all sections of the country, but there will be no| coal famine for at least sixty days, as | large quantities are in storage in am- ticipation of this strike, The source of the trouble is the peri- odical renewal of the wage agreement between the miners and the operators, | accompanied by the demand for an in- crease in certain wage scales, princi- pally a ralse of 10 cents a ton for| miners and a corresponding amount for shot firers, together with certain im- | proved mining conditions. At present no signs of settlement are visible and when the miners left their work they | took all thelr tools with them and | prepared to remain “‘out” indefinitely. The miners contend that while the cost of living has increased 60 per cent during the last ten years wages have Increased only 123 per cent. This argument has often been advanced be- | fore, but its force will appeal stronger | this time to public sentiment, although | not to the operators, inasmuch as the larger wage scale asked would add many thousands of dollars to the ex- pense of running the mines each year. The operators, of ¢tourse, maintain that a wage increase would have to come out of the consumer, 8ince a coal miners’ strike has been regularly recurring on the occaston of | the annual renewal of the wage scale there is reason to expect a peaceful set- tlement, probably on a compromlise basig, Andrew Carnegie and the West.

He recently made the remark | that the western people are larger, the western women are more beautiful, and all are better devetoped physically, put more into life and get more out of life than do their neighbors in the east. He declares he likes the west | and has only words of glowing| prophesy for its future growth. A man of the nature of Andrew Carnegle is naturally taken with this| western country. There is a hustle and a go about it which is inspiring| even to those well along in years. | every side the appearance of enter- prise, the thrifty farms, the busy cities and the breezy air of the people may well appeal to him after having spent 80 much of his life in eastern cities, especially among the hard-grinding conditions prevalent in the higher cir- cles of business effort. It is, perhaps, a western conceit that the west ex- pected to have him pleased with the way we do things, but, then, we are not disappointed, for he really seemed pleased and said so openly.

Of Yo | course, the farmers will enter a disclaimer, specific or general, declining to assume re- sponsibility, and more or less vigorously resenting the soft impeachment. Inci- dentally, they might select as a defender the enterprising agricuiturist who recently took one of his prize porkers to market in an automobile . How much he asked for it was not stated Just Séntences for Rebaters. Philadelphia Bulletin. The confession of a steamship line man- ager In New York that he has been guilty of rebating in conjunction with certain railroads, has been followed by the impo- eition of fines amounting to $4000. This form of penalty may have been justified by the facts brought before the court. Yet while subordinate officlals who merely obey the orders of those In power over them should perhaps not be too severely punished, there is & growing bellet that the surest way o stop lawbreaking rebates on the part of common carriers 18 to put the really responsible offenders in jall.

One of the Washington sightseeing autos was slowly wending its way about the capital the other day. The guide caught sight of Norris walking on the. sidewalk, close by. ““There, ladles and gentiemen,’ ‘'he sald, “is the famous insurgent, Norrls of Ne- braska. He's the man that kicked ‘Uncle Joe' Cannon off the rules committes in the house the other day. You can't keep those Nebraska people down. They're al- ways breaking out in some new spot.” Whereupon, there were cheers from the sightseers, and, while Norris blushed like a red, red roge, the women in the crowd gave him the chautauqua salute. Then he hastened on lest they try to Hobsonize him. Fame, DEMAND FOR SQUARE DEAL. Premature Criticl of President Taft's Administration. The World Today. The difficulties which lie In a succession to any popular hero are obvious. Preai- dent Taft followed the most universally popular man America ever knew. Different in temperament, he inherited Issues which his predecessor had precipitated and a congress which was only too ready to taste the sweets of independence after six years of discipline. The great financlal in- terests looked to him for a ‘“safe’ ad- ministration; people at large looked to him for a malntenance of Rooseveltism. He had no political organization other than that of the republican party itself, and this organization was already plotting rebellion against the policies on which the pespie had supposed they had delivered a final verdict. Such difficulties required for their solutfon something more than a judicial temperament, a sunny smile, and a mem- bership in the corporation of Yale. And we belleve that he will yet show himself to possess such needed abilities To condemn Mi ft for failing to be ike Mr. Roosevelt is nkin to the ridiculous, Nobody can be like Mr. Roosevelt.

For the fourth time within twelve months the death of King Menelick of Abyssinia is reported. Last May word came out of the dark empire that polson had dis- posed him.

Practically all others are vassals of forelgn powers, or subject to their influence The king Iliked European ways, his queen resisted for- elgn innovations. Soon after the king and his warrfors welcomed the Itallan invaders to hospitable graves in his mountain de- files, Germai French and English Influ- ences became mixed up in the rival court faction. All were mightily Interested in the king's health and brought doctors to the capital to promote his physical wel- fare and mix political medicine with the regular treatment. In the ensuing rivalry of the doctors, the German medic charged the French M. D. with polsoning the king. The shocked ministers of the king inves- tigated the charge and acquitted the doc- tors, but the kings suspicions were aroused and he was re-assured only when the doctors involuntarily swallowed large doses of medicine compounded for himseif. At least once a month Menelik Indulged In an extra large feast with his favorites, and the rest of the time short rations and dyspepsia tablets constituted the royal bill of fare. Doubtless one of these gorging feasts was the immediate cause of his alleged taking off.

He is a grandson of the last real monarch of Egypt, Ismail Pasha, who spent $21,000,000 {n various en- tertainments in honor of the completion of the Suex canal. The present Khedive has not the means nor the inclination to beat the spending record of his grandfather. He manages, however, to bear the strain of higher cost of living with & salary of $500000 a year. He speaks and writes French, German, Turkish and Itallan as well as Arabic.

This change in conditions calls for a corresponding change in the attitude of our nonresident property owners toward their investments here.
