Whittled to a Point
In the diversion of other things,
Tho Bee hits almost overlooked the
reply-brief of the Blair Tllot man to
our remarks In answer to his ques
tion, "Why should Nebraska repub
licans line up with Rhode Island re
publicans for Taft if they are pro
gressive and we are standpatters?"
Tho Bee bad suggested as the answer
that Nebraska republicans and Rhode
Island republicans, and republicans
in all other states, would have to get
together behind their candidate next
year if he is to win out against the
democratic nominee, but our Blair
friend won't have it that way.
We concede to every republican.
and to every democrat for that mat
ter, a perfect right to have a pre
ferred choice for president and to
exert himself In that behalf, but
eventually It will coma down to bod
rock of electing the ticket, and no
republican standard-bearer, no mat
ter what his Identity, can safely ex
pect the democrats to furnish the
totes. If the Blair Pilot man. who
has already bolted part of the state
ticket, and is opposing the congres
sional nominee in his district, and
also expressing objections to Mr.
Taft, speaks for himself, he will be
whooping It up for the democratic
ticket next year unless he has his
way about It. That Is tho Inference
forced by the windup of his article.
which reads as follows:
To our mind the next president will ha
a progressive. The only question Is. will
he b a republican or a democrat? Which
does tha editor of The Ue, and tha re
publican natlunal committeeman for Ne
braska, prefer?
It happens that one answer will
aufflce for that dual question. We
prefer that the next president be a
republican, and that he be Just aa
progressiva and broad-gauged aa tho
present republican president.
The Majesty of Nature.
The havoc wrought by such dis
asters as occurred recently at Austin,
Pa., and more recently In Wisconsin,
where large parts of towns were de

But that la not all that reflecting peo
ple see In such devastation. That Is
but the surface result. Do the people
not aee that nature now and then
seems to make an exhibition of Us
power and its might? The scenes are
too ominous to say majesty and yot
that Is what It Is the majesty of
nature.
Do men grow, Indifferent to the
hidden secrets, to the latent power of
tha natural elements? These periodi

that they do and that It devolves
upon nature to make a ahowtng of

Bay State Republicans.
. The republicans of Massachusetts
have made national Issues a part of
their atate campaign, giving large
place to them in a powerful platform
adopted at their state convention.
This platform at least has the merit
of going straight to the point or dis
cussion and leaving no room for
doubt as to where the republicans of
that state stand.
The Bay state republicans stand
with President Taft for scientific re
vision of the tariff and for having the
courage to veto the haphasard tariff
bills contrived by the democrats for
purely political purposes. Here is one
excerpt from the platform which can
not be too much emphasised:
We accuse tha democratic party la aon
grees. and their allies, of narrow and
blind aectlonallsm. We accuae them of
flagrant disregard of the business and
Industrial Interests of the country. We
accuse them of playing politics when they
aat In the seats of statesmen.
The Massachusetts republicans are
right in declaring that diaaster would
have ensued had President Taft not
possessed the wisdom and courage to
veto thdse pernicious measures and
they are right in calling upon all
"sober-minded citizens," regardless
of politics, to stand by an executive
with backbone and conaclence.
The Bay state republicans are with
the president again In declaring for
"a downward revision of tariff sched
ules that have become either outworn
or oppressive Instead of protective."
But, as is pointed out. It has never
been and la not now republican doc
trine to abandon entirely the protec
tive policy or to readjust schedules
la disregard of business facts. The
republican party has left that for the
other side to do. It has believed with
Washington that "The safety and in
. I
tereat of the people require that they
should promote such manufactures as
tend to render them independent o
others." And this policy of the re

publicans has become by their ap-

the Jocular remark that "you will

fraaa Army aad Rstf Register.
Positions In Civil Life.
Tha question has recently arisen as
to the right of a retired officer to ac
cept a elvll service appointment and con
tlnue to draw his retired pay from the
govemmeat. A recent decision of the
comptroller of the treasury covers this
point. In which It waa held that the re
tired pay waa in the nature of a pension
and unless the civil employment carried
with It a salary of more than 12.600 per
annum, there was no objection to a re
tired officer accepting such an appoint'
ment.
t'ao of t'ost Laaadrles.
Enlisted men cannot be compelled to
end their laundry to a poet laundry,
on the ground that it is In need of
financial support. The legality of an
order Issued In the Department of Texas
waa recently questioned, which required
enlisted men, with the exception of mar
rled men, to send their washing to a
post laundry. The post commander
stated that but few of the men were
sending laundry to the post, and as a
result Is was not paying expenses. It
Is held that this Is a question of sanl
tatlon, and such an order should be
based on that around alone, rather than
upon the financial condition of the insti
tution.
Absence Wlthoat Leave.
An officer of the army recently
granted a dlacharge to , a man who
should have been required to serve
twenty days additional for time lost due
to absence without leave. The man re
enlisted one month after he was un
charged, and the question arose aa to
whether he was entitled to receive a
bonus upon re-enlistment and be con
sidered In his second enlistment. A
similar case was before the War depart
ment In July, In which tt was shown
that dlacharge was granted where a man
had tan daya to make up. He did not
request his discharge, but the papers
wars made out and given to him, the mis
take having been discovered after the
man had been discharged. The erroneouj
action on the part of the company com
mander was not at tha request of the
soldier, and It was held, therefore, that
tha discharge was one for the con
venience of the government, and when
the Soldier re-enlisted he waa entitled
to be considered as In his second enlist
ment period. The case recently under
consideration has been, drclaed In the
same way, and the soldleW gets hia threo
months' extra pay, ss well as credit for
his first enlistment period in computing
his pay and length of aervloe.
Army Paymasters' Clerks.
Army paymasters' clerks now occudv a
military status, and, therefore, are no
longer within the class of appointees to
government office to which tha cIvU
service laws and rules apply. Tha War
department has taken action with refer,
ence. to these clerks aa a result of an
opinion reneVred by the judge advocate
general of the army in which It Is clearly
shown that paymasters' clerks are now
officers in the regular service within the
meaning of the acts of congress. Jn
recent legislation congress has stimu
lated their retirement to that of naval
paymasters' elerks and mads them sub
ject to the rules and articles of war with
out specifying their position In the army.
The act of Maroh 3, 1MI; provided the
right of retirement for arm v cavmarr
clerka. and. while the right to retirement
Is not necessarily evidence of tha mllltar
status of tho person to be retired, the
juage advocate general holds that It may
be accepted as a strong indication of the
Intent of congress, and. whan coupled
with the proviso In regard to the articles
of war. establishes the Intent to make
paymasters' clerks a component part pf
me army, j-aymaaterr clerks have been
considered In the past aa eominar within
the civil service lawa and rules, and, In
ract, are specifically mentioned therein.
However, the recent aat r
makes them a component part of the
military establishment.

"It Is tha Judgment of competent observ

logical, nign-mlnded executive, but a
mighty poor politician." The statement
in regard to Oenerai Manderson. referred
to by us, was made in the state house
at Lincoln, only a few days before ha

Renters Reiner Eliminated.
OMAHA, Neb.. Oct. 7. To the Editor of
The Bee: In going around In south
western Iowa with the exhibit car. I
find a new condition has arisen that Is
practically eliminating the farm renter
or will soon put the renters out of busi
ness. I find several renters paying $6 and 14
cash rent and others alvlna half and
In some esses three-fifths grain rent
The well-to-do farmers larselv are
owners of automobiles and merchants tell
me the sustantlal farmers go In their
autos to Omaha or Chicaxo to do a larva
part of their shopping and the renters
are so borne down upon by the land
owners that they cannot take chances
cn extending credit to only a small per
cent or tnem. This Is a new condition
that I have never before observed in
thia country and la one to cause
thoughtful men to stop and think.

given when he referred to "our former fel

Dahlman, now mayor of Omaha' Dawes
county will not soon forget Dahlman was
"his friend" while Dahlman worked for
Bryan, but not when Bryan had an 6p-

all there is to It Is "Catholic's believing
firmly, as they do, that their religion Is
the only true one, cannot in conscience
imrtlcipate In what Is to them false wor
ship of God."
Jesus Chrlit laid down no such narrow
doctrine and no argument Is needed in
support of Oils statement of fact.
If a Protestant democrat feels that hs
could welcome our president, a Unitarian
republican, under the auspices of the
Young Men's Christian association, why
cannot a liberal Catholic do likewise?
Granting Father Gannon's belief to be
correct, then, of courae, there must be
a separation of Catholia and Troteetants
on the other side.
This must be trae or else, more plainly
stated, all non-Catholics are denied the
right to eternal life unless they embrace
the "only true religion."
In the light of the scriptures I cannot
understand how any liberal mind can
take as correct such a version of divine
teachings.
As a liberal Protestant, If I am to in
herit eternal life, should 1 or can I deny
to any other of God s children this same
right?

The leaves are turning Into gold-
They always ao the same;
It Is a little way they have, "
Their gay autumnal aame.
The hasy twilight brings a moon
That takes ud half the sky.
And makes a fellow think upon
xne coming pumpxin pie.
Tho folks who've been away to fish
Come home and wnuiy snatch
At sleeves of thoae who do not wish
To henr about their catch.
The fluffy summer girl returns
From the rampamns she s waged
And. In ten minutes each one learns
Thai she s become engaged.
The cider press gets busy now
And neither stops nor lass.
Though many folks again dispute
If cider causes Jatcs.
The price of coal goes up again,
The price of ioe comes down.
The father blinks of winter clothes
And wears his wintry frown.
And, O. the rah-rah boy permits
His hair to grow quite long
And shakes the air with college yells
And sings his college song:
From Europe come the giddy stare
With dances that appall
These symptoms make It rerey clear;
We know It must be fall.
