Mona LiBa has not been found. It

Still, President Taft must, not ex

That is his stock-in-trade.
Many more speeches like that at

Superintendent Leldy of the Anti

Straight from the Shoulder.
Bummed up in street vernacular.
President's Taft's challenge to Colo
nel Bryan and his other critics, sim
ply means: "Put up or shut up."
Of course, they will do neither; that
would not be good politics.- They
will continue to make their unfair
criticisms. The president was more
candid in his Detroit speech fhan
they have been he shouldered full
responsibility for the work of his ad
ministration, championed the court's
"rule of reason" and challenged his
political enemies to come forward
and help him help the government.
He did well in singling out Mr.
Bryan, for Mr. Bryan has been going
up and down this land for fifteen
years mouthing his attacks upon
everybody who dared disagree with
his vagaries, sparing none. Yet.
neither during the Roosevelt adminis
tration nor Taft's, when such tremen
dous efforts were exerted to solve the
great trust problems about which Mr.
Bryan loves so to talk, has he ever
risen high enough above partisan
politics to offer his assistance in for
mulating or carrying out any defin
ite, decisive plan seeking a solution
of these Immense problems.
But more than Mr. Bryan were
hit in this speech. That democratic
house majority and that democratic
and insurgent coalition in the senate
sustained this broadside, which
forms the real pith and point of the
whole speech :
I wish to repeat this now (meaning his
message of January 7, 1M0. recommend
ing trusts be brought within the scope
of the Sherman law), and to say further
that the attorney general has Instituted
Investigations Into all the Industrial com
panies above described, and that these
aro In various Stages of completion. I
am glad to be able to add that If congress
shall continue needed appropriations
every trust of any size that violates the
statute will, before the end of this ad
ministration In 1913, be brought Into court
to meet and acquiesce In a degree of dis
integration by which competition between
Its parts shall be restored and preserved
under the persuasive and restrictive Influ
ence of a permanent and continuing In
junction, t
There is the challenge. Will they
accept It? Congress has the power
to promote or retard, to make pos
sible or defeat, the president's efforts
to do what his critics are complaining
about. On which side will that
democratic majority in the house and
that democratic-Insurgent coalition
majority in the senate exercise its
power? With their aid, the presi
dent can go ahead; without It he can
not. Will he get the aid? Here 1b
another place where Mr. Bryan's in
fluence, properly exerted, might help.
Will the president get that? "Words
are good and only so when backed
by deeds."
Stolypin and McKinley Tragedies.
The method of Btolypin's assassi
nation, in itself, resembled that of
Abraham Lincoln, perhaps, more than
it did that of McKinley, since both
Lincoln and the Russian premter
were shot in theaters, but aside from
that there is much melancholy cor
respondence in the Stolypin and Mc
Kinley tragedies. How like the re
ports that came from the sick bed
in Buffalo ten years ago this very
month, were those the cables brought
from Kiev, Russia. So favorably did
President McKinley progress that the
day before his death, it was believed
he had passed the danger line, and so,
last Saturday night,. Stolypin was
thought to be on the road to recov
ery. But peritonitis in each case had
been getting it is deadly work bo in
sidiously as to deceive the skilled
watchers.
But there was this difference be
tween the American and the Russian
- McKinley was not a man to take
much physical exercise, and after hip
death a mourning people continually
j remarked that but for the debilitat
ing effects of the sedentary life, he
probably would have survived the as
sassin's bullet. Stolypin was a
rugged man In the bloom of vigorous
health. Just come from a long vaca
tion out of doors, and he lasted a
shorter time than did McKinley.
Bullets are treacherous things
when lodged in human flesh, particu
larly in or near vital parts. They in
volve so many dangers of complica
tion that about the best that an be
done is to administer the best known
remedy and then hope. When a bul
let goes plowing through the body to
the spine, where It lodges, It takes a
lot of skill and faith to save the vic
tim, regardless of his ruggedness of
physique.
: Lawyeri and Trusts.
Faithful old Pro Bono Publico,
writing to the New York Times,
complains of the "able lawyers" for
their part in trust-making and trust
breaking. He wants to know if all
these trust prosecutions are for the
mere purpose of giving lawyers fat
fees, since it is only a few years ago
that the "able" lawyers were forming
the trusts, and now they are "bust-
lng" them, for so much a bust. In
I this connectionthe vigilant philoso
Ipher.arfks attention to Luke xl:46,
I U.klk - J .
nunu i raus .
And he said. Woe unto ou also, ye
lawyers! for ye lade men with burden
grievous to be borne, and va yourselves
touch not the burdeua with one of your
fingers.
This is a mighty pertinent ques
tion. Of course, the trut prosecu
tions come as the result of a sincere
determination to repress the evil In
fluences of lawless combines and not
to give anybody employment, but the
point of Pro Bono Publico is well
made, anyway, for it does so happen
that many of the so-called trust
lawyers are getting in on the ground
floor in this grand old game of bust
ing the trusts. And they are getting
some mighty handsome ft-es for the
same, too. Occasionally a few of the
moot versatile yru.i Uweri have
been able to land Jobs defending
trusts on the one side and prosecut
ing them on the other, catching them
acomlng and agoing, as it were.
The history of the trusts seems to
show that the most essential element
of formation and exigence is the
right nort of legal light. As the car
toonist once made the late Mr. Harrl
man say, as a mcfto, "First, be sure
you have a good lawyer and then go
ahead until somebody stops you."
Same Old Bunco Game.
The people generally, and the vot
ers in Nebraska in particular, should
be advised that the democrats are
again this year attempting to play
the same old bunco game by mis
branding democratic candidates with
the populist label. Every candidate
on the democratic state ticket is to
have bis name on the official ballot
twice, once as a democrat and again
as a populist. In this way they ex
pect to purloin the votes of old-line
populists which would not otherwise
be cast for democrats who never had
anything in common with the popu
lists except to use theni to ride
into office. There is a serious ques
tion whether the election law con
templates or permits this sort of Im
position on the voter, but even
though It be regarded as lawful, the
unfairness of it 1b plain and palpable.
The misappropriation of the populist
name by candidates on the demo
cratic ticket is the theft of something
that does not belong to them, no less
reprehensible because cunningly done
In evasion of the law.
Thankful Acknowledgement.
The Bee is bo often in disagree
ment with Mr. Bryan's Commoner
that It is pleasing to find one sub
ject on which we are in accord. The
Commoner in its last issue congratu
lates Omaha, and commends The Bee,
on the adoption of the commission
plan of city government as follows:
The people of Omaha, at a special elec
tion, adopted the commission form of
government. It Indicates a determination
on the part of the Nebraska metropolis
to move along the lines of real progress,
and the people of Omaha are to be con
gratulated. The fight In behalf of the
commission form of government was led
by The Omaha Bee, a republican news
paper. For the vigor of Its good efforts
The Bee Is to be commended by all lovers
of reform.
For which The Bee makes modest
acknowledgement ' and expresses
thanks.
Governor Aldrlch Insists on declar
ing that Nebraska is antl-Taft, not
withstanding the fact that the last
state convention, made up of dele
gates representing republicans in
every county in the state, adopted a
resolution endorsing his administra
tion by the same unanimous vote that
endorsed the governor's administra
tion. Perhaps the governor means
that the democrats in Nebraska are
antl-Taft. It is to. be noted, how
ever, that Governor Aldrlch In the
same breath recognizes the proba
bility that he will be running for re
election on the same ticket with
President Taft.
A depleted state treasury is threat
ened as a consequence of excessive
appropriations by the late demo
cratic legislature. The democrats
promised retrenchment and economy
In their platform. Wonder what they
would have done had they not been
trying to live up to this platform
obligation?
The Louisville Post says that a

OMAHA. Sept. I. -To the Editor of The
Bee. I wish to heartily commend jour
editorial on the "School and the Home"
In your Sunday's Issus.
It Is especially pertinent at this time,
when the schools are at their Inception,
and when a proper mental attitude on the
part of the parents and students, toward
the work and plans of the administrative
department. Is of such vital Import to the
harmonious and nuccefsful pursuance of
of the schedule outlined for the year.
So concise and accurate an analysis of
the situation, confronting the schools and
the patrons, ought to find Its way Into
every home represented In our high
school. SCHOOLMAN.
Tramp Who Wants Work.
DEfl MOINES, Sept. 1.-To the Editor
of The Bee: I picked up one of your pa
pers today which contained an editorial
stating that General F. D. Grant cannot
explain why men leave the army. Now
I am an ex-aoldter and I could tell him,
and very plainly, too. But this paper
contained another article which Interests
me more, which you have called the
tramp yM. According to James Forbes
there are 2W.000 tramps from a matter of
choice. Perhaps he Is telling the truth,
but I am a so-called tramp, and not from
choice, either. The reason I am Is very
simple foreign emigration and women.
I am a kitchen man and retsauranta and
hotels prefer either a woman or a Greek.
The Idea of Mr. James Forbes may be
correct In some cases, but not all. He
does not need to employ moving pictures
or any such methods to lure this one par
ticular tramp; all he need to do Is give
him a Job that he can do. But, then, that
would be going against his pet Ideas.
At present I am In Des Moines and
hear the same old story everywhere I ask
for work. Now If Mr. James Forbes Is
so anxious to cure anyone of the tramp
habit let bun commence by giving me
work. I am willing to work for him or
anyone else Interested In the tramp evil.

."So Bible la the Schools.
OMAHA. Sept. 19 -To the Editor of The
Bee: I noticed In an a(tlcle In The Bee
that a prominent member of the Toung
Men's Christian association said that the
Bible should be one of the principal books
In all public schools. But he made a mis
take by not stating which Bible he meant,
as there are so many different kinds of
Bibles In existence. Everybody knows
that our public schools are built and sup
ported at the expense of the taxpayers,
which consist of many different kinds of
nationalities, different creeds and some of
no creeds at 'all. Now, I would like to
know where the people In a country of
freedom and liberty are taking the
rights, to force on the people a book, that
Is holy and great to them, without con
sidering that the other people have books,
too, similar to theirs, of which they think
Just as much, and how about the people
that don't think anything at all about
that book? If the members of the Toung
Men's Christian association or ths
preachers are very anxious to teach or
read the Bible to the children, they are
welcome to It in their Sunday schools.
The public schools are built and main
tained by the taxpayers not for religious
teaching, but for secular education only.
In the state of Illinois some people re
cently started up a movement about Bible
reading In the public schools. A fight
started up among the people and the case
was carried to the supreme court, and the
court decided against Bible reading In the
public schools. If the members of the
Toung Men's Christian association are
really looking for the benefit of the young
generation, let them help to advocate the
Idea about a technical high school, like
what was proposed In a letter In The
Bee. and the people will appreciate It
very much more. A. E. G.
University Wot a Charity.
' OMAHA. Sept. 17.-To the Editor of
The Bee; In your Issue of this date, as
well as In a recent iRsue of another news
paper of this city, I took especial notice
of the news Items pertaining to the
Omaha university, and am led to make a
few remarks concerning ?aid institution.
While I do In no wise object to a multi
plicity of educational facilities. I cannot
but take exception when such enterprises
are always, as In this InKtance, begun
with inadequate financial backing. It
seems to me that as long as such an In
stitution is partly of a commercial na
tureas all must needs be, Involving posi
tions with pay and tuition with pay. 1t is
asking a great deal of a community to
be ever ready to start it along the road
of succesa with the .necessary monies.
If a group of men endeavored to start a
grocery store or some such undertaking,
with a view of getting the necessary
means from the public, we would at once
feel Justly that we are being Imposed
upon, without reason or cense. While the
analogy is not true In all Its points, there
Is at least more to It than appears on
the face.
As regards the curriculum and faculty
of said university. I have noticed that
among other branches, economics and
political science Is wholly omitted. No
university aspiring to any sort of scholas
tic position can leave these out without
serious Injury to Itself. I also observe
that the science of sociology is to be han
dled by Mr. Clark of the Child's Paving
institute. I think It is not casting any
reflections upon the excellent work of
Mr. Clark or his ability In the special
charitable work In which he Is engaged,
to say he has not the qualifications nor
the scholastic standing so necessary to
teaching adequately the science of so
ciety from a broad point of view, as Is
rightfully expected In a university. From
a scholar's point of view, there Is a vast
deal of difference between sociology and
charity, and. as a matter of fact, the lat
ter Is but a small fraction of the more
comprehensive name of the branch to
which it belongs.
GEORGE ELLIOTT.
As to the Harvester Company,
BENSON. Neb.. Sept. 2. To the Editor
of the Bee: During the last month a
great deal has been said regarding the
International Harvester company on ac
count of the report made more than five
years ago by Assistant District Attorney
Town send.
I have been handling the International
goods since the organization of the com
pany and have always found their goods
to be first class in every respect. In fat,
much better than before the organiza
tion and as cheap In pric. I have never
called for repairs for any machine they
manufacture, or any machine made prior
to the organization that I could not get.
Binder twine has been reduced in price
each year and is of better quality.
This report repeats the oft told story
of machines being bought cheaper In

POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS.
Washington Post: Mr. Braus an
nouncement that he Is against party har
mony doesn t exactly come under the
head of reul newi
Minneapolis Journal: feenator Moses E.
Clapp Is going to strike the kr note, but
again some distance from home. As a
long-diMance keynoter the Junior senator
Is becoming almost a celebrity.
Chicago Inter Ocean: There was in
Insurgent dinner at Lincoln, Neb.. Thurs
day night In the Interest of La Follette's
presidential candidacy. Tet we see no
mention of the presence of Lincoln s
leading citizen.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: Jonathan
Bourne announces In the public prints
that he will support La Follette against
Mr. Taft. It Is quite Impossible to de
termine whether this I? a knock or a
boost, and If so, for whom.
Philadelphia Record: The dilemma of
the Insurgent wing of tha republican
party, in its starch, for a strong leader
ship, has not been relieved by the sug
gestion of putting aside the Impassioned
La Follette and bringing forward the Im
possible Hughes. There Is nothing to be
said against Justice Hughes; but he Is
out of reach. He Is a fixed star.
COMMISERATION. ,
The melan-colle days have come.
The hottest of the year.
Ole Brother Welsh has raved ne ome-
My first home days to crtier;
But soon he'll lay the pokor by.
When he has scorched mo well.
What weapon he will take up next
I can not tell.
Then let us all pcrsptre our best.
With no dull fear ol croakln';
Ak-Sar-Ben days will sojn be here
And then we'll get a soakln';
The rain will then In torrents
Deluge the pretty floats.
And we can use our summer duds
To feed the goats.

The sweater conquered the lat stronr
bold of conservatism In dress ilin I'
was definitely adoplrd by the arm as .i
part of the soldier's rqulpment. A fr
years ago It was hardly seen anhei"
except on an athletic fleM. Bicycling ani
golf brought It Into more general tisr
and caused Its merits t le apprfciatel
by others than college foot ball players
The entrance of women into sports led
to Its adoption by onirn, until now it
Is seen upon the streets as a common
article of the wearing apparel of ths
soa that was lni to adopt It, althous'i
the greater conservatism of the other
sex In matters of dress comflne Its u.
by men rather to the occasions which
originally brought it Into vogue.
The same merits of ease, flexlbllltv
and warmth which have led to Its uni
versal adoption elsewhere have no doubt
Induced Up acceptance In the army, where
the tendency has been for a long t!m
away from stiff and gorgeous uniforms
toward sober and sensible attire. It Is
a long way from the plumes, tha hair
cloth, the March, stlffns and military
rplendor of the past to the loose, com
fortable and Inelegant sweater. But the
way was paved by service uniforms,
slouch hats, khaki and the dozen other
recent sdoptlons of the armies of th
world which have comfort and utility as
their aim. As war becomes less frequent
armies become more businesslike. Ths
spectacular element Is disappearing. Tha
sweater seems to mark Its end.
