That Meeting at Beverly.
President Taft and former President
ftoosevelt have met, laughed, talked
and parted and so far as those present
or those absent have been able to dis
cern, the meeting prored to be as cor
dial as It could have been between two
old friends and mutual admirers who
had not seen one another for sixteen
months. It was. In fact, Impressive
in Its spirit of affectionate friendship.
The two men chatted for more than
two hours, punctuating their conver
sation with frequent peals of laughter,
Indicating that they were really enjoy
ing themselves. Since last they had met
both had had many new and strange
experiences, and doubtless they found
enjoyment In exchanging these exper
iences. If any disappointed statesman or
politician can find in the meeting at
Beverly the least sign of a disinte
grated friendship he must have a pene
trating vision. We believe the popu
lar verdict will be that Taft and Roose
velt are just as good friends today and
as they were March 4, 1909, when one
stepped out of the White House to
make way for tha other. As a simpl i
matter of fact, why. should they not
lie? Nothing has happened to estrange
them; President Taft has gone on car
rying out, as far as they extended, the
Roosevelt policies and giving the coun
try an able, courageous and exceedingly
strong administration and that too
without any apparent thought that he
in his conduct was amenable to any
one Individual, but to the whole people.
All this talk of Taft upsetting what
are known as Roosevelt policies is
pure fiction, but Industriously circu
lated to take hold of unthinking minds.
As time proceeds, however, and people
view things in the light of dispatsion
ate judgment, they are brought to real
ize that whose ever policies have been
carried ont, the Taft administration
has thus for been productive of
tangible results. With bis keen in
sicht, Theodore Roosevelt sees this and
must have expressed delight many
times to his old friend and taken to
himself a degree of pride in the vindi
cation of his own judgment in recom
mending William II. Taft to the people
as the best man they could select to
succeed him as their chief executive.
A severe blow, Indeed, Is this meet
ing at Beverly to the sinister hopes and
aspirations of those persons who have
been fanning flames of prejudice in
the foolish expectation that Roosevelt
and Taft would cease to be friends and
political co-workers.
Good Move for Maryland.
Governor Crothers is exerting some
practical influence in organizing a
movement for the betterment of the
farms and farmers of Maryland. His
mission is not new, of course, being
akin to the Roosevelt country life
commission project, but it is unique
so far as states are concerned, except
as It bears some relation to the back'
to-tbe-farm colony plan of Governor
Hadley In Missouri.
Farmers of Maryland have for years
cultivated their soil without much
definite aim and little or no scientific
knowledge as to soil culture or the
need for varying crops. They have
pursued the old lines of plowing and
planting and reaping without due
thought of the future and their soil
has become Impoverished until today
the situation calls for. prompt and In
telligent action. Governor Crothers,
who is a practical farmer, therefore,
proposes a commission of experts who
shall go over the state, studying every
condition and need and then applying
such remedies as will meet the case,
These experts are to teach the farmers
by communities the lessons of modern
farming, not merely conduct little
hearings and cross-examinations and
go away and leave the work; It is not
to be an academic uplift, but an actual
Improvement.
Already the governor has begun bis
general mission of betterment by hav
lng good roads built and Maryland
needed good roads. This be believes
Is one of the first things necessary in
the whole system of advancement, for
it will strike a heavy blow to the old
order and serve to break the farmers
loose from it at the very outset and
make them eager for further Improve
ment. The gospel of good roads
needs no further defense In this
country.
Undoubtedly if this work is faith
fully carried out it will result in a vast
enrichment ot the Maryland farmers
and a general enlargement in the
state's wealth, for It begins at , the
source ot that wealth. Farm after
farm In that old state Is said to be
shamefully neglected because the
owner or occupant believes it no
longer capable of producing good
crops. If this principle of soil culture
and intensified farming is properly ap
plied and works out as It has in other
states, then these Idle or half-tilled
farms will be brought back Into com
mission and made to do what they are
actually capable of doing, which, will
mean vast new wealth for Maryland
and individual prosperity to Jts farm
ers and merchants.
Work for the Tariff Board.
The tariff board created by the last
congress at the Instance of President
Taft can do no greater service to tb
people than give them the real facta
about the tariff in Its effect upon pro
ductlon, wages and the cost of living
Fundamentally its work is educational
and if it can displace ignorance with
enlightenment as to these simple mat
ters, It will be accomplishing its pur
pose. Such education would have
great Influence on tho people and per
haps dispel blind prejudice and open
the way toward honestly solving prob
lems that actually exist
Advocates ot a protective tariff be-
lleve it safeguards American labor
against cheap labor competition, while
opponents contend It does not and
nearly every man, whether he has ever
given any time to the study of the
question or not, has his own deep-set
conviction on the subject and does not
hesitate to air it. Congresses have
never beeu able to enact tariff laws
that satisfied all the people because
of their conflicting Interests, but a
tariff built upon scientific lines would,
it Is believed, give th least cause for
dissatisfaction.
If the tariff board In its mission of
Investigation could get the facts and
bring them to light so that they may be
presented to the general public, It
should be the means of accomplishing
great good and clarifying the whole
situation.
- Making a Soft Place to Alight.
Another announcement from Mr.
dryan may be expected shortly In
which to events that have transpired
while he was out of the country may
be expected to cut a figure.
The first of these is the final proc-
lamatlon by Governor Shallenberger
declining to accede to Mr. Bryan's de-
and that he reconvene the legislature
in special session to submit an Initia
tive and referendum amendment to tha
state constitution.
The second Is the unexpected pro
nouncement of Richard L. Metcalfe, as
sociate editor ot the Commoner, at the
Columbus banquet against Inserting a
county option plauk advocated by Mr.
Bryan into the democratic state plat
form.
The question that Is being asked on
all sides is, Was Mr. Metcalfe acting
by himself or did he have a hunch by
wireless from the distinguished pas
seng'er on a' trans-Atantlc steamer.
The Metcalfe proposal to ' relegate
county option as a local Issue to the
respective legislative districts, where
It properly belongs, has sound and con
clusive argument behind it. But Mr.
Bryan had gone on record uncondi
tionally for a county option pledge in
the event that the governor should fail
to call the legislature according to the
Bryan plans and specifications and it
would look, therefore, as it Associate
Editor Metcalfe were trying to fix up
soft place for Editor Bryan's airship
to alight.
Lei us simply recall a few sentences
from the speech which Mr. Bryan made
ust before he started for Europe in
the ball which he hired for that pur
pose in Omaha.
Here Is one:
When I returned from the state after an
absence of some months I announced that
in case the initiative and the referendum
was not submitted It would be necessary
then to meet county option aa an Issue, and
that I was In favor of a platform declar
ing In favor of It.
Here is another:
If the liquor question must be disposed of
beforo we can secure the initiative and
referendum, then the sooner we dispose of
it tha better.
Here is still another:
I will not admit until we are voted down
in the convention or at the primary that a
majority of the democrat, are willing to
take orders from the liquor dealers.
And finally:
I still hope that we may have a special
session of the legislature and secure the
submission of the initiative and referen
dum, but If that is made Impossible by the
sordid interests that have thrown them
selves across the path of this popular meas
ure, then our first business is to remove
the obstruction, and with the next demo
cratic convention as the forum we shall
Invite the champions of the brewers and the
distillers and the liquor dealers, to show
cause why they shall not be driven from
politics In the state of Nebraska.
Evidently, as we have said, either Mr,
Metcalfe is smoothing 4 path for Mr.
Bryan to back down and flxipg a soft
place for him to alight, or Mr. Bryan
will soon give orders for Mr. Metcalfe
to back up, and will want to know
what influences have been at work
in the Commoner office during his
absence.
Wholesale Dish Washing.
If there is one fart of her househqld
work that the housewife dislikes above
all others It is washing dishes and the
hired girl looks upon that as tho most
undesirable ot her tasks, while It Is
notorious that father, during "bach
lng" season, will stack dishes to the
celling and go to almost any lengths to
avoid washing them. Dishwashing is,
In fact, one of the problems In domes
tic science which our household econo
mists have failed to solve. Inventors
have devised various little machines
for doing the work and none has
proved successful, but here is a New
York firm with a solution for the prob
lem. This firm offers simply to take
a contract to wash the dishes for the
household. It sends its wagon around
twice a day, once to get the dishes and
again to deliver them. It takes them,
scraps and all, if desirable, to Its place
ot business, washes and returns them.
guaranteed not to be broken.
On the face of It this appears to be
the panacea holding forth the house
holder's paradise and its operation will
be watched, no doubt, with greater in
terest than any modern innovation of
late years. If successful in New York,
where It Is still In the experimental
stage, it will force Its way out Into the
Interior and so we need not be sur
prised to have wholesale dishwashing
establishments around the corner in all
cities very soon.
And why not? We have our com
munity of interest eating plans, and
some of them are said to have proven
satisfactory. Certainly it ought not to
be as difficult to wash dishes by the
wholesale as to cook, for the work is
much less scientific. This may have a
vital bearing, too, on the servant girl
problem and. If this Is ever settled,
then there is nothing left but to settle
down and live happily.
Still, If ever religious denomination
is guaranteed the constitutional right
to "the peaceable enjoyment of Its own
mode of public worship," It must be
that the right to worship peaceably
gives no right to disturb the peace of
others; if not, freedom of worship may
resolve itself into a question ot which
denomination can command the biggest
drum and enlist the strongest horn
blower.
It is up to those who circulated the
petitions to put Mr. Bryan's name on
the democratic primary ballot as a
candidate for senator to file theli
papers with the secretary of state. Fail
ure or neglect to file such nomination
papers Is a violation of the primary
election law, punishable by fine or im
prisonment or both.

Whatever may be thought ot Mr. Bryan's

DEMOCRATIC JLESK AIAJESTB.
Revolt Against Pryaalsm Galnlaa;
Eminent Reernlta.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
The revolt against Bryan is growing
apace. Following uovernor Harmon s re
fusal to obey orders and the overwhelming
indorsement by the Ohio state convention
of that refusal, Maryland Is heard from.
In an Interview before leaving Waahlngton,
Senator Kayner, discussing political pros
pects, in turn addressed a pertinent ques'
tlon to Mr. Bryan. "Will Mr. Bryan and
his followers," he inquired, "permit the
democratic party to nominate a president of
the United States and to send to the people
a platform of its own construction? If he
shall insist that he must select a candi
date for us and that he must frame a plat
form, then we must rise in our might and
assert the principle that no one man has
the right to dictate the nomination and to
formuiate the principles of the party. Three
times have .we gone down to defeat under
platforms that we could not defend before
the people."
Mr. Kayner says he admires the Ne
braskan aa a oitisen, indorses a number of
the great principles tor which he stands,
but there are others he repudiates as un
democratic and visionary, and he thinks
the colonel should no longer stand In the
way of party success. Think of that Re
flect upon this picture of Mr. Bryan, not as
a leader, but as an obstructionist! A few
more declarations of the Harmon and Kay
ner brand and there will be no neeed for
anxiety about whether the sage of LJncoln
will be a candidate for this revolt. More
than his perennial candidacy, blocking all
other ambitions, his dictatorial attitude to
wards other democrats and his Insolent In
sistence upon his own infallibility as an
expounder of democratlo doctrine have pro
yoked the spirit of Independence and self
aasertloa In leaders like Kayner and Har
mon and probably In many others yet to
be heard from.

Two widely separated movements among
opposing forces mark the advance of re
ligious liberty and toleration In Kurupe at
the present time. The parliament of Great
Hritain Is considering a measure recasting
the agression oath, eliminating those words
and phrases that are offensive to Ui I
lioman Catholic subjects of the king, and
limiting the obligation te a clear declara
tlon to maintain the supremacy of the
English Protestant church. Both political
divisions In parliament favor the change.
No doubt King George desires the modifica
tion, as did the late King Kdward. The
only opposition comes from religious ex
tremelats, whose Bliitnilat assertions and
prophesies are a reflection on the
civilisation of today. It is expected, there
fore that the measure will receive favor
able action, and will enable the new king
to ascend the throne without reflecting on
the religion of any of his subjects. At
the same moment the religious body which,
In Qreot Britain, applauds the tolirnnt
spirit ot the crown, is not enthusiastic
over a modification of religious intolerance
In Spain. The union of church and state
In that country grants a practical monopoly
of religion, education and burial to the
Koman Catholic church. No other creed
Is tolerated openly, but may be practiced
privately. The liberal ministry of Premier
Canulejas proposes to modify the con
cordat of ISM to the extent of permitting
freedom of worship, and has taken that
step penditig negotiations with the Vatican.
The Vatican objects to tho change while
negotiations me proceeding, and as a con
sequence diplomatic exchanges have taken
on a belllcoso tone. The ministry appears
determined to proceed further than" the
grant of freedom of worship. Religious
orders which flocked Into Spain from
France In the last five years atfd did not
receive the authorisation ot the govern
ment, 'are threatened with expulsion, and
those orders engaged In manufacturing are
to be taxed. Should the liberal ministry
maintain control of the government, a
revolution In the religious atmosphere of
Spain Is a coming certainty. If the im
pending change occurs. It will form one
of the most Interesting episodes In the
checkered diplomatics career of ' Cardinal
Merry del Val, papal secretary j)f state,
and scion of Spanish nobility.
The evolution in Journalism is strikingly
illustrated by the Peking Gazette, an
ancient Institution which celebrated Its
millenary two years ago. Originally it ap
peared at Intervals and In rudimentary
form. Today the Gatette Is a modern news
paper, Issuing three editions dally. Great
changes have been made in fifty years, and
since the boxer rebellion the numbend
boldness of the newspapers have increased.
There are seven different styles of writ
ing, vis., the common, the "demlvulgalre,"
the familiar and the epistolary. The
papers for the people are printed In the
common style, and some have adopted the
new alphabet sanctioned by the govern
ment. Greater reverence Is shown to the
press in China than In other countries. Old
papers are never put to base uses, they
are collected and burned In the pagodas.
The Chinaman believes that profanation
of newspapers is followed by blindness.
- Leading artists and archaeologists of
Paris have Inaugurated a movement to
save from destruction the old churches of
France. By tho separation law the question
of repairs of these ancient structures has
become a problem. In many country dis
tricts the Roman catholic inhabitants are
too poor to subscribe the necessary funds,
nd the municipal councils have no power
to do so. Hence when an old edifice, dating
perhaps from the thirteenth or fourteenth
century, Is seen to be tottering the author
ities solve the difficulty by employing
melinite to blow It up. The latest Instance
was near Versailles. It appears that when
the mayor of a commune of atheistical
pinions, and they are many In France, gets
the chance of blowing a church to pieces
he is delighted, and the consequences are
becoming deplorable.
For the moment rivalry In warship build
ing is equalled If not surpassed by th
demand for flying machines as an adjuncl
to military establishments. - In England
Germany, France and Austria, private en
terprlse has been supplemented by liberal
government provisions for the exploitation
of aviation as an adjunct of warfare. And
now the Italian parliament spurred to
action by the strides of her neighbors, has
voted, by a wide margin of affirmatives,
upward of a million dollars for the purpose
of investigating the Bcienca of flying, with
special reference' to Its applicability to
military operations on land and sea. The
lsa of the appropriation means that the
government Is anxious to put the country
abreast of her . rivals.
Count Khuen-Hedervary, the masterful
new premier of Hungary, who, In the re
cent election, routed the political factions
favoring complete separation from Austria,
enjoys the personal friendship of the aged
emperor, and is a genuine reformer within
Imperial limits. One of the expected re
suits of his signal victory Is a grant of
universal suffrage In the Magyar kingdom
The premier, who has often been charged
by his opponents In Hungary with being a
Croatian, and by .Croatian with being a
Hungarian, is neither the one nor the
Other. He Is by birth aa Austrian, born
in Btyrta of a Tyroleae family. He was
however, educated on one of his father's
states In Slavonla, and studied afterward
at the universities of Agram In Croatia,
and of Budapest.
Young King Manuel of Portugal Is sorely
perplexed in the region of the heart. He
wants a wife, but the royal families ot
Europe possessing eligible princesses have

None of the reigning houses care to annex

Manuel is not wealthy aa monarchs go.
His civil list is Just $1,000 a day, and It
was hoped he would be able to make
match with a popular princess possessing
large means In her own right The father
of the princess was strongly opposed to
the alliance, noV that he disliked the young
Portuguese king, but because of the un
settled state of the country.

John McKeown of South Sharon, I'a., the
SOcIuIIkI K,n,inee for congress In tho
twenty-eighth district, spent 27 cent In
e,he campaign, according to his sworn
statement. Twenty-five ci'nts was for
swearing to .his expense account and 2
cents was tor postuge to send It to Harris
burg. John K. Tcner, republican cantlhlato for
governor of Pennvylvania, Is the first real
Irishman nominated by the party for the
position. Them have been so-called Scotch
Irish governors of the statu, but tlity were
American born. John K. Is a genuine son of
the "oukl sod," and a ihoioM'jh going
American to boot.
O'Neal Browne's narrow escapo from con
viction ot bribtry in the Illinois senatorial
deal, affords a brief respite, but does not
caso the pain. Cook county promises to give
him another trial roast this month, and
Sangammon county has a package In r,-

transgressor is hard when ho la found
out.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa
chusetts will have a rival for tho cntor-
hlp in the person of ConKicSHiiuui Putlcr
Ames, a descendant of the two families
whose names lie bears. This Is tho first
tlm Senator Lodge has had a competitor
oi th while, and his political machine, con
sidered one of the most reliable In New
England, will have its bearings oiled ai
ever before.

If negotiations between the United States
and Italy fall over the extradition of Charl
ton, the diplomatic questions involved ought
not to be allowed to overshadow the plain
justice of tiie case. Whether the young
man was a deliberate and responsible mur
derer or an irresponsible maniac, he Is
equally dangerous to society and his liberty
would bo a menace to everyone who hap
pened to arouse the "ungovernable temper"
which ho acknowledges he possesses. And
apropos of such cases in general, It Is to
be noted that their families come forward
In their defense with Instances of their
irresponsibility. Where it is known that
mental derangement exists, a heavy re
sponsibility rests on the families of such
persons in not taking precautions to pre
vent the outbreaks of suicidal or homicidal
mania which are too well known to accom
pany this derangement to come at any
time as a surprise.

What is your answer?
Controlled Newspapers.
The Atchison Globe says that no adver
tiser has ever tried to control its editorial
policy, the remark being occasioned by the
charge often made nowadays, that the big
advertisers direct the editorial policy of
newspapers.
The experience of the Globe Is the ex
perience of most newspapers. The mer
chant who doe. a great deal of advertising
Is more Interested in the circulation de
partment of a newspaper than In tbe edi
torial department. If a dally paper goes to
the home of the people, and Is read Ly
them, he is satisfied, and it may chass
after any theory or fad, for all he caroB.
He has troubles of his own, and he Isn t
trying to shoulder those of the editorial
brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by peo
ple outside ot the editorial rooms, and a
good many of them, mores the pity; but
the people exercising that control are not
the business men who pay their money for
advertising space. The newspapers which
are established for political purposes are
often controlled by chronic offlceBeeker,
whose first concern Is their own Interests.
There are newspaper controlled by great
corporations, and the voice of such news
papers Is always raised In protest against
any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usually Is
controlled by Its owner, and he I supposed
to be in duty bound to make all sorts of
sacrifices at all sort of times; , there are
people who consider it his duty to Insult
Talks for people who sell things

Oh.
blame not tho girl who Is queen of the
summer
And pledges her troth to a dosen or more.
The elude and the clerk, Hie merchant and
mummer,
For an art. si like her deserves an encore!
And blame not the man from sobriety
straying, '
Who clings to a lamp post, or telegraph
pole,
He bus this excuse he Is only displaying
A "circumstance over which he's no con
trol!" Oh.
blame not the butcher who raises
his
prices 1
And your ardor for meat most success
fully damps.
One generous virtue excuses hi vices.
He gives you a double allowance ot
stamps!
And tilamu not the man who says that to
morrow He II repay that loan he will, 'pon his
soul!
If he tails In his promise, well, that to his
sorrow
Is a "circumstance oven which he's no
control!"
Oh, blame not the husband who's left In
the city.
If loneliness makes hlm despondent and
sad.
Though outwardly ho may-be worthy of
Pity. .
Yet Inwardly he U consumedly glad!
And blame not the bard If his verses are
prosy,
And move with a steadily slumberous roll.
The fact that he makes all his teaders quit
dosy
Is a "circumstance over which he's no
control!" , , , , -
his advertisers just to show that he Is
free and Independent. If he shows a decent
respect for hiB patrons, who pay him their
money, and make it possible for him to
carry on the business, he Is "subsidized"
or "controlled." The newspaper owner Is
a business man. like the dry goods man
or the grocer. The merchants are expected
to have consideration for their customers
and they are not supposed to be subsidized
by the man who spends to with them, but
the publisher is supposed to demonstrate
his courage by showing that he. Is ungrate
ful for the patronage of his friends. It Is a
funny combination, when you think it over.
