The populists have little but ex perience to show as the result of their political partnership with the demo crats. "Nobody pays any attention to Count Bont," says Prince de Sagan. Is It possible that even his creditors have given up hope? The republicans of St. Joseph, Mo., have nominated a man named Weakly for mayor, but expect him nonetheless to make a strong run.

In behalf of the candidates who are opposing Mr. Taft we unhesitatingly respond In the affirmative. Eddie Foy says he is in doubt whether Hamlet was sane or insane. Eddie should confine l is studies to the question of the sanity or insanity of friends still living. The German emperor, having thought the matter over, has decided that In the matter of . ambassadors from America he Is wllllns to ex change a Tower for a Hill.

The impending visit of William Howard Taft to Omaha And Council Bluffs, wher o will tomorrow and next day be the guest of honor of vari ous political clubs and commercial associations, is an event out of the ordinary. Mr. Taft is not only the war secre tary in President Roosevelt's cabinet, but he Is also the leading candidate for the presidential nomination on the republican national ticket and the probable successor to President Roose velt as the chief executive of the nation. Nebraska and Iowa both occupy a very favorable position for extending the hand of greeting to their distin guished visitor, because both have al ready declared their preference for him as between the aspirants for favor at the Chicago convention, while Ne braska prides Itself on having been the first state of all to have raised the Taft banner in a republican platform. The opportunity to become better acquainted with Mr. Taft by personal contact with him should be fully taken advantage of by all of our people while he Is here. They will find him. at everyone else has found him under such conditions, measuring up fully to the high standard which we have set for our presidents. His bigness In every good sense of the word could not be better described than by the following excerpt from a sketch in the current number of The Outlook from the pen of Rev. Lyman Abbott. Eloquent? That depends upon wliat Is meant by eloquent. His style Is W'ebsterlan; he Is persuasive and convincing rather than electrifying; he compels attention rather than wins applause. He Is not without humor, but the characteristic of his address Is serious purpose. Comparing him with other presidential candldaU-s, he appears to me to be as Independent as Mr. Hughes and to have had a larger experience; pos sibly not so good a lawyer as Mr. Knox, but a better Judge; as human as Mr. Can non and possessing Ideals which Mr. Cannon disavows possessing; as courteous as Mr. Fairbanks, with a power of action at times of splendid wrath, of which Mr. Fairbanks has shown no sign; as truly radical in his advocacy of human rights aa Mr. La Fol lette, but unlike Mr. La Follette, equally determinea to defend them whether the assailant is democracy or plutocracy. To define him In a sentence Mr. Taft Is a great brain and a great heart in a great body. AO BAR ON STATE UNIVERSITIES. Announcement is made that the fund established by Andrew Carnegie to provide pensions for superannuated college professors has been Increased from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 and the scope of the foundation widened to Include the teaching staff of state universities. The Bee was the first, we believe, to Insist that discrimination between par ticipation in this fund by state institu tions and by those privately endowed would work positive detriment rather than public benefit to the cause of education. Supporting this position, we argued that there was no more reason for pensioning superannuated professors of Independent universities and colleges than for pensioning those of state universities, but that the state university could not possibly hope to provide such pensions out of their current revenues raised by taxation. The prospect of a pension for super annuation would thus become an addi tional Inducement by which the privately endowed universities would be able to drain the state universities continually of heir best professors and instructors, and thus put the latter at distinct disadvantage. f This discrimination could have been removed at the outset by the trustees of the Carnegie fund in interpreting the conditions of the foundation. The trustees, however, are all representa tives of the big eastern universities and refused to take this step, although by making special exceptions in indi vidual cases they admitted the justice of the claim of the state universities. It is a matter for congratulation that Mr. Carnegie has himself not only lifted the bar against participation in the pension fund by state university teachers, but has also made further provision for taking caro of this addi tional pension list. ELLEN STUNE AGAIN. The country will hardly become very enthusiastic over the recommen dation of President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Root that congress appropriate some $66,000 to reim burse the contributors to the fund for the ransom of Miss Ellen M. Stone, an American missionary who was cap tured by Bulgarian brigands In 1901. John Hay, when secretary of state, de cided that Turkey could not be held financially responsible for the action of the brigands who had captured Miss Stone and Secretary Root agrees with the conclusions of his predeces sor, but recommends that the money contributed by individuals to secure Miss Sloue's releube' be returned to them out of the federal treasury. The salient facts in that casa are still more or less fresh in the public mind and they do not contain any in spiration for a renewal of Interest. Miss Stone has written of her experi ence at length and has admitted that she was rather stubborn in her deter mination to invade the territory of the brigands after she had been warned of the dangers of the expedition. Turk ish authorities had notified beri that they could not promise or afford her protection if she visited the region then dominated by tha brigands and this notice was supplemented by warn ings from other missionaries and from Americans familiar with the situation. Miss Stone, however, persisted and was captured by the brigands, who held her for ransom. The . affair aroused excitement tu this country and the funds for her ransom were raised by popular sub scription. Miss Stone secured her re lease, unharmed, wrote her story for the magazines that offered her the most, lectured for pay throughout the country on her experiences and the public looked upon the Incident as closed. In addition to the difficulty of returning the money to the con tributors thq proposed action would establish a precedent which might In cite the brigands' union to .make a sharp advance in the rannom rates and file their demands direct with the gov ernment instead of mnklni; an appeal to the purses of a sympathetic public. protection auaixst cosiperf. Congressman John Dalzell, who has represented the Pittsburg district in the house for twenty years, has Intro duced a measure which he modestly describes as "an Important amend ment to the banking laws of the United States." His bill makes it a misdemeanor punishable by fine and Imprisonment for any person to "wil fully and maliciously make, circulate or transmit to another or others any statement, written; printed or by word of mouth, which is directly or by In ference derogatory to the financial condition or affects the solvency or financial standing of any national bank." The proposition embodied in Mr. Dalzell's bill was urged in New York during the recent panic, when it was charged that the failure of certain na tional bunks and other financial insti tutions was hastened, if not caused entirely, by the persistent circulation of damaeing reports and rumors touching their financial standing. It was charged that a certain Wall street clique of speculators was behind this chain of gossip and some effort was made, without tangible result, to lo cate the parties responsible for the tale-bearing. Out of this situation which is repeated in nearly every community when there la a "run on the bank" came the demand for the law proposed by Mr. Dalzell It is somewhat surprising that a man of Mr. Dalzell's experience in leg islative and business affairs should seriously sponsor such a measure. The United States government has no more power to prevent gossip about national banks than it has to stop gossip about neighbors, and congress will pass a bill for one as soon as for the other. Each state has its laws against libel, slander and defamation of character and the national bank that is dam aged by gossipers will have to seek redress through the same means open to an Individual similarly injured. first aid to grafters. A new periodical haa been launched in New York clearly designed to fill "a long felt want" among the lawyers and near-lawyers who make a specialty of damage suits for personal injuries against street car. railway and other companies. With the rapid growth of these transportation interests and the persistent pronencss to recklessness and carelessness on the part of the companies and the pedestrians, acci dents happen hourly and the emer gency hospital has grown to be a dis tinctive American Institution. The lawyers who have made a specialty of these cases have been compelled, in some cities, to go to very considerable expense to secure the data needed in their business. They have been compelled to employ "run ners" and "snitches" and "ambulance chasers" to keep them fully informed of accidents and the prospect of dam age claims. All this has been changed by the enterprise of some New York men who propose to launch "The Amputation Bulletin," a Journal to be devoted to the collection of data con cerning accidents, giving "the n&mrs and the earliest information about persons whose arms, legs, hands or feet have been amputated." The editors of "The Amputation Bulletin" make no effort to conceal their aim and purpose. They are not going to strive for a big circulation, realizing that their subscribers will be the select few who will have personal and pecuniary interest in the contents of the paper. They place the sub scription price at $50 a year, as the cost of gathering the peculiar class of news will be heavy and the returns from subscriptions comparatively small. But $50 a year is a mere bagatelle compared with the benefits that will accrue, thus attractively set forth in the prospectus: We cover the United States on amputa tion Information, from which any good, live attorney can surely get tuvnty-flva or fifty casci a year each caae with a value of $5,000 to IS.floO and, as these cases are taken mi a basis of 50 per cent, tha incoma an attorney can otilaln from this Informa tion Is far. greater than the salary of the president of tha United States. If the new publication succeeds It will pave the way to a large field for special work. Men who work nights, scaling drain pipes and porch columns looking for unlocked second story wiu dows would doubtleaa pay liberally for a publication giving them weekly Information about householders who are careless about locking their win dows. "The Porch-Climbers' Bulle tln" would be highly popular with Its patrons. Again, the nimble-fingered gentry who work among crowds lose much time and useless effort in search ing empty pockets. ."The Pickpock ets' Guide," containing photographs and descriptions of men who carry large sums of money with them would make this business more lucrative and less tiresome than at present. I There Is practically no limit to the opportunities in the line of specialised Journalism such as U to t undertaken by the publishers of "The Amputation Bulletin." BENEFITS OF RVRAL DELIVERY. Statistics recently furnished by the Postofflce department offer additional evidence that an increase of mall fa cilities is always followed by an In crease of business. The figures show that the rural free delivery system, which has been one of the greatest sources of expense In the postal serv ice, is practically self-sustaining, with a promise of eventually yielding re turns above the outlay. The first actual experiment with rural free delivery was made In 1897, with an appropriation of $14,840 for the service. At that time the annual postoflice deficit was in excess of $11, 000,000. Tho rural delivery service was immensely popular from the start, und appropriations for Its extension have increased from year to year until tho total in 1907 was $29,755,524. The deficit of the department for 1907 was about $6,000,000. It la difficult to analyze the expenditures of the de partment, but the fact remains that with each extension of the rural de livery service the revenues of the de partment have been increased and the annual deficit reduced. While the appropriation of $29, 755,524 for the rural delivery service last year was an unusually large amount, it is In part offset by the showing that $12,000,000 has been saved by closing small postoffices and discontinuing star routes in the terri tory now served by the rural free de livery. Experts of the department es timate that the enactment of the par cels post law recommended by the postmaster general would add a source of revenue to the rural delivery serv ice that would completely wipe out the annual deficit of the department. "Four Years More of Teddy" is the title of a campaign song written by a woman out In the state of Washing ton. It should be dedicated to United States Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., of Oregon, who ia sepa rating himself from his unwieldy accu mulation of coin for that kind of ap plause for his political ldiosyncracles. Democratic newspapers are laying stress on the fact that Mr. Bryan Is greeted everywhere by enthusiastic, cheering crowds. Mr. Bryan learned In 1896 and again In 1900 that Amer icans do not necessarily vote as they cheer. "Does getting elected to the United States senate make a man a million aire, or does getting to be a million aire elect a man to the United States senate?" asks the Nashville Amer ican. It has worked both ways. The Chicago Inter Ocean refers to "Prince de Sagan's touching devotion to Madam Gould." It Is the touching part of the prince's devotion that Is so objectloriable to the big brother of the Gould family. Prophets and rropbecles. Boston Transcript. "Prophesy as much as you like, but never set a date," says Mr. Carnegie; or, aa Horace Blglow hath it: "My gran'ther'a rule was safer'n 't Is to crow; don't never prophesy unless yo know."

Springfield Republican. The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha railroad reports an experience with Its employes worth noting. When the panic came on last fall tho general superintend ent mads a personal appeal to employes for assistance In reducing the company's expenses as a means of averting the neces sity of cutting wages. He now reports that during January a previous deficit was turned into a surplus, and this because of the efforts of employes In economising they having saved to the road 38,UO0 on coal alone during the month. AST AMKHICA.X Utlt'ECT. Lack of Discipline in the Family and tit School. Ban Francisco Chronicle. The curse of America Is Its luck of dis clpllnu. In the family, the school and the college youngsters grow up to do as they please. There Is a mawkish sentiment which Is evidence of degeneracy and which prevents the old-fashioned, wholesome en forcement of authority among children and youth. It is not good for society and not good for the Individuals. In every family and In every school It Is desirable to have some stringent regulations, If for no other reason than having them complied with. The best foundation for character is ihe habit of submission to authority, and the time to acquire that habit Is In childhood and youth. None can ever become so competent to wisely direct aa those who have first learned to obey. The looseness and Instability In American character has its beginning in the looseness and In stability of family discipline and In the In sistence of silly and Inefficient parents that the same looseness of discipline shall be carried Into the schools, from which It easily extends Into tha colleges. The fledgeling In college will turn out a much more useful member of society If ha ia mads to behave himself or clear out. No man can stay strong by holding down a soft unrfp. A crooked walk discounts the straightest kind of talk. You are not a disciple If you are afraid of discipline. The religion for eternity Is the religion for every day. If you would win souls you must he a winsome soul. People who live In a bog always are the first to throw mud. It Is folly to allow the ungrateful to rob you of the Joy of giving. Our props are taken away that we may strike roots for ourselves. Folks who do the works of religion have Ilttlo trouble over the words. No mnn knows his full power until he turns It on some worthy purpose. Tho stlffest price you can pay for some thin: Is to pret them for nothing. Tho only time some men love their ene mies Is when they embrace ' their sirs. Folks who are willing to go to heaven alone are sure to get lost on the way. Drowning your troubles In drink is an effective way of watering the weeds of woe. Chicago Tribune.
