THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY willing to take the responsibility President Taft has reassured the | StOPPINE the sugar frauds and prose ‘ country and served notice on congress | CtINE the perpetrators, big or little |and he should find congress ready to in his Passaic speech of his undimin- | ished hope for the success of the ad-| ministration's program as the only | means of keeping faith with tho peo- | ple. He has not given up to the fear that even the rallroad bl will fail of passage, but believes that it, statehood for Arizona And New Mexico, the pos- tals savings, anti-injunction, con all get through in satistactory form at | this session. The president must have some warrant for this hope or he ot the people there has never been any doubt. Already the Taft administration has accomplished more in the first year than any previous administration ever accomplished in a similar period, but that fact does not satisfy the pres- ident, to long as it is possible to achleve more. If the majority of con- gress are in earnest they can make good on all these propositions at this session and thereby set before the country an unsurpassed record in con structive legislation Mr. Taft lays stress upon the pas- sage of the bill to give separate state- hood to Arizona and New Mexico and in so doing betrays a spirit and breadth of statesmanship that should rebuke those who have opposed#this measure on the ground of party poli- tics. He admits that their admission senators, or if republican, then of the radical type that will op- pose the majority in legislative delib- eration, but insists that this 18 no cause for longer denying statehood, particularly since the republican party pledged itself in the last campaign to the enactment of such a law. Missouri Republicans, It Missouri republicans in the house were to allow themselves to be mis- led by the hollow sophistries of Champ Clark they probably Would be de- feated and certainly would deserve to be. In no state in the union have re- publicans more cause for careful | action than in Missouri, or greater | reason to feel secure in their position if they exercise wisdom. They repre- sent something tangible 4m the evolu- tion of politics; they stand for clear in the power of the democratic party. In the last two national electlons the re- | publicans have captured the electoral | vote of Missouri, they have the gov-| ernorship, they have carried St. Louis in national campaigns six times con- secutively and they have just brought Kansas City, their second largest city, into line, \ But withal this splendid Vvictory | to say nothing of more advance made, unless the republican leaders of Mis- souri show themselves capable of lead- ership, and there is where the repub- lican members of the house occupy a strategical position. Much depends on their deportment. Champ Clark, in ‘hlu wily scheme as the minority leader |in the lower branch of congress to drive a wedge that will split the re- publican party before the congress ional elections, fully realizes this and he is exerting his utmost effort to trip | the republicans of his own state. Re-| publicans of Missouri know Champ Clark through and through, He is not to them an opaque character. They are not likely to nfisunderstand him, |and they are most determined to hold |their lead over their ancient rival in power, but, nevertheless, they cannot be too cautious of this wary politician, Let the Appraisers Proceed, In view of existing circumstances and results already scored, the presi- dent's advice to congress to keep its hands oft the investigation of alleged |sugar trust frauds at the port of New | York seems to be the correct counsel. “The necessity for a congressional | Investigation,” says Mr. Taft, ‘“‘arises |fAirst when an executive investigation |18 elther not in good faith or is lack-| |ing in vigor or when additional legis- braska would help put the party in fighting trim'for the next skirmish. The Washington Post discusses “Cheaper Market Baskets." That is all right as far as it goes, but we want to get te the ingide of this que: tion, As a state Nebraska is completely out of debt for the first time since grasshopper days. We must be en- Joying some measure L of prosperit after all. This sudden love for “‘my children" that wells up in the panting heart of Artist Leavitt 1s, indeed, pathetic. It takes money to keep even ghildren these days. It San Francisco does not want to lose that Panama-Pacific exposition perhaps it had better pull {ts mayor off the boosting committee. It s sometimes embarrassing to let your mayor run at large. The Public-Ledger calls for “Fair Play for Peary.” Well, he has had it. The public has shown him more, really, than he has yet shown the public. There is still a good deal of faith in this Northgole business, It probably would be better if the colonel could strike all those countries at some other time than when an elec- tion is in progress. The temptation is too great. Yet that ex-premier showed exceedingly bad judgment and ltte tact lation is needed to prevent a recur J‘rence of the fraud.” | | That an inguiry by congress at this | {time would embarrass, if it did not completely thwart the efforts of the |officers who are inyestigating the sit-| | uation, goes without saying. The ex- | |ecutive investigation still in progress !has already brought to light. much | | evidence and has secured some con- | victions and confessions. True, the| cry is still for “the men higher up,” | and they are the ones who would wel come reliet through congressional in- | tervention. If Mr. Loeb's office is al-| there is every likelihood that it will |1and all who should be landed, if such |a thing be possible. This view.of the | case certainly must bave appeared to some individuals who would like to have all further inquiry . dispensed with, and It is by no means improb 'able that some such motive has act | uated this movement for ‘& congres- :-!onnl inquiry. 4 | Mr. Taft, nevertheless, kes a | bold and cowrageous stand in warning | congress not to go into the situation now, for he must realize that captious critics will seize updn his action as a means of making political capital at his expense, attempting to spread the | talse impression that the president is the one applying the brakes. Under the president's: construction of the case there is no necessity for congressional action now, for the in- vestigation being carried on is obvi- | union | government lowed to proceed without interference | uphold and support him All the World Akin. Cicero once said, “There i8 no more sure tie between friends than when they are united in their objects and| wishes,”” but the strongest bond of is that formed in the crucible of common misfortune. “One touch of nature makes'the wyole world kin."” It is unfortunate for President Taft that his cook left him and etill more unfortunate that the cook should have left just as his died, but, after all, what is the president’s loss in his covk is the policeman's gain and the country’s profit, for the officer got a wife who can make the first man of the land long for home, at least around meal times, and the country at large finds that even chief magistrates have to knuckle down to the Amalgamated Order of Queens of the Kitchen, that| most autocratic and austere of indus trial organizations. Here, it has been some two weeks since Mr. Taft's cook left him and his family and in that time one might suppose he would be flooded with applicants for appoint ment to the vacancy, but he is still looking around for one, probably run- ning want ads in the papers and one may imagine him buttonholing mem- bers of his cabinet and congressmen as he meets them from day to day, asking, ‘Do you know of a good cook I can get?” The president, like most of us, en cow cure; he is old-fashioned in his tastes. That is evident in the fact that his cook was a woman, plain Mrs. Mul vey, and not a man. If he cared to chefs he might be able to supply his demand, but it is a cook, not a chef, he wants-for the White House—he wants soup, not puree of tomatoes. We hope the president gets a cook that will please him as well as Mrs. Mulvey did, but in the meantime he might run over to the policeman's house now and then and get a square meal until he finds a new cook. Within Party Lines. The sentiment expressed at the re- publican banquet just held in Omaha, ‘hut participated in by representatives from all sections of the state, is to the settle any differences they may have within party lines, and when the time comes present a solid front to the dem- ocratic opposition. Alleged diver gences of opinion within republican ranks have also apparently been largely exaggerated, chiefly by the democratic organs and the few wobbly newspapers that profess to be repub- lican while bending most of their en- ergies toward giving aid and comfort to the enemy. The democratic leadership and pro- gram in Nebraska holds out absolutely nothing to attract republicans. And no republican, even though not en- tirely satisfied with what has been done at Washington so far, can see any prospect of betterment by turning to democrats who have invariably made a dismal failure whenever en- trusted with power. The republican party is, and always has been, a party of progress and prosperity. It has given the country and this state all the really progressive legisiation we have had, in prompt response to pub- lic demands and needs, but without getting ahead of the procession. In Nebraska this year, as well as throughout the country, the lines will again be drawn between the repub- licans as proposers and promoters of constructive legislation and the demo crats as mere fault-finders and ob- structionists. Comparison of the res ords of the present democratic go ernor and legislature In Nebraska with their republican and to the advantage of the repub- licans. It is gratifying to know that the party in Nebraska is made up of live, up-to-date, wide-awake repub- licans who are as fully agreed upon republican principles &s they ever were, and thoroughly convinced_that the best government we can have is a manned by republicans administering republican policies, Our amiable democratic porary is having a bhard time playing its old role of calamity howle In one column it tells how poor everyone is and how the average family cannot keep even on its earnings, and in an- other column it dilates on the pros. perity of a thriving Nebraska county where they have just knocked down | der for $500 and will erect in its place a building worth $100,000 Did any Nebraska county erect a $100,000 court house during the hard times of the last democratic national adminis tration? —_— health” to resign from the police com- can be expected to go. ——— desuetude that surrounds his ignored ously and manifestly in geod faith and not lacking in vigor.

Back to the Vital Question. Denver Republican, Wa are told that the steam shovelers will expel Mr. Taft from their union because he went to a ball .game in Cincinnati and sat on a plank that had been laid by some carpenter who did not wear a union tag. All of which may be important enough in its way, but the, account leaves out the most vital fact of all. What was the score? Parcel Post and Zone Rates. Springfield Republican.

There will also be sixteen Inch guns In the turrets. . The armor will be of sufficient thick- ness for defense against torpedo boat at- tacks, and there will bo strong bulk-heads as an additional protection against mines and torpedo explosions. The main arma- ment includes two submerged torpedo tubes and ten small guns for boat service and saluting. The main armor belt is § feet wide of an average thickness of 10 inches, with another belt above of 9 inches in thickness, and a high casement armament above that to protect the secondary bat- teries and funnel bases. Fach barbette has been made 4 to 12 inches in thickness to protect the entire armament handling machinery for the 12-inch guns in the turret above. The engines of the Florida will consist of ten turbines of the Parsons type, six g0 ahead and four astern turbines, which will be driven by steam gencrated from twelve water tube bollers with furnaces which have been constructed for the con- sumption of coal or ofl fuel, The first of the American fleet of this | typo of vessels, the North Dakota, and the Delaware, of 20,000 tons displacement, have recently gone into commission and been added to the Atlantic fieet, and the Utah, the sister ship of the Florida, which is being built at a private yard, was launched a short time ago. The Utah and the Flor. ida, however, are to be nearly 2000 tons larger than the first pair of all-big-gun ships. The third palr of this class of ships, the Arkansas and the Wyoming, which are to be 26,000-ton vessels, carrylng twelve 12-inch guns and which will be the largest battleships in the world, are on the ways. Congress is discussing u fourth pair, which may be even' latger and carry l4-inch guns. In other words, the United States is in the race with the other powers. This race is so strenuous that no sooner does one nation announce the launching of the biggest Dreadnought of all than another proceeds to set a new one afloat The North Dakota and the Delaware re- tained their laurels for only & short tim Hardly had they had their steaming trin last fall and demonstrated their superi ity over others of their type than the Br ish government launched the Neptune, wit a displacement 20 tons greater, and th Vanguard, another British Dreadnought | slightly smaller, broke the speed record of | the Nortn Dakota of 22.2%5 knots, by travel- Ing at the rate of 22.4 knots. When the Utah was launched it was the lergest battleship afloat, but a few days ago—and this Is the second ocur- rence of the two referred to—that record was nullified by the launching of the Colos- sug, number nine of the British fleet of Dreadnoughts to reach the water. The first Drgadnought was 4% feet long and of 17,90 tons. The new one, the first of a group of three vessels of 22,50 tons cach, 18 515 feet long. The others are the Hercules and the Orfon, Great Britain expects that she will have twelve Dreadnoughts by the year 1912, ail available for service, equipped with ten 12-inch guns each and each able to travel at a specd of upward ot 22 knots. The vessels of this fleet already afloat are the Dreadnought, the Bellerophon, the Collingwood, the St. Vincent, the Van- guard, the Temeraire, the Superb and the Neptune. Another vessel, to be known as the Lion, a 2600-ton armored crulsed, which it is expected will be able to travel at a speed of 28 or 29 knots, has been lald down. Although it 15 only three and a fraction years since the first of these all-big-gun ships demonstrated its efficlency, nearly every power Is planning for, bullding or the posscssor of one or more of these $10,000,000 engines of war.
