"','Taft to North and South.
The speech- c-f President -Tatt at the
dedication of the monument to Penn
sylvania aoldlers who fell at Peters
burg departa from the platitudes com
mon on inch occasions and eaya things
directly to the point. With praises for
the ralor of the men who composed
the armies which met on the battle
field and commendation for the era
of good feeling and mutual respect
which had succeeded the bitterness of
that struggle of the Titans he Indulges
remarks which can be taken in no
other way than a direct reference to
a recent Incident. In doing so he does
not mince words, but declares that the
man on either aide who seeks to In
ject a note of discord Is a fool. The
wounda of that struggle were many
and deep, but the inherent good aense
and patriotism of the people both
north and south have applied the heal
ing balm until there la no sectional
animosity, but Instead a national spirit
of common interest and common sym
pathy. It bat been one of the most conspic
uous policies of Mr. Taft to bring
about aa a climax to the sentimental
reunion of the sections a community
or political thought and Industrial In
terdependence. His remarks about
fools unquestionably refer to the inter
changes resulting from t,he presenta
tion of a sllrer service to the battle
ship Mississippi, which took on much
of the character of the acrimonious
debates common up to the early
eighties. As a northern man the presi
dent had the rght to speak' for the
north and by their assent the south
erners present Indicated that aa pres
ident he bad the right to and did
apeak for the entire couptry.
Democratic Harmony and Consistency
Senator Bailey of Texas has made
another effort to tell what the position
of the democratic party Is on the tariff
question and In doing ao has suc
ceeded in demonstrating that the
party holds no known position, but is
scattered along all the way from the
high protection camp to the-free trade
harbor. The Texan ruthlessly smashes
the ambition of Governor Johnson of
Minnesota to be the Moses of the dem
ocratic party in the south and informs
the. public that the Minnesotan is
economical with the truth in discus
sing the position of democrats, who,
like himself, are for a duty on Iron
ore, lumber or any other product ot
their state. Senators Smith ana Ray-
ner of Maryland took issue with the
Texan on the iron ore schedule and
Tillman showed a disposition to help
the latter out. Mr; Bryan has repeat
edly attempted to read the protection
ist nut nf the democratic party, but
they insist that they have season
tickets and refuse to quit therperform
ance either at his bidding or, that of
the. ambitious governor of Minnesota.
It is also to be noted that when Mr.
Bailey., sought to counter on ,he re
publicans by alleging that they were
likewise divided on the tariff ques
tion he speedily got the answer that
while republicans are not all. agreed
upon some of the schedules, as waa to
be expected In ao large and compre
hensive a question, absolutely no dif
ference ot opinion exists as to the
soundness of the principle of protec
tion to American Industries, as is the
case in the democratic camp. '
During his speech Mr. Bailey let
fall another ray of light In his admis-
son that the former democratic slogan
of ' free raw materials, along with
other democratic paramount of the
past was all wrong, was no longer a
part of the democratic creed, and that
an up-to-date democrat must of neces
sity change his beliefs as often as
changing conditions warrant
Taken all in all the director of the
democratic orchestra down at Wash
ington must be having a perfectly
lovely time of It. He has some tairiy
good soloists at his command, but
when he tries to bring all his mu
sicians together for the overture or
the grand, finale no amount of energy
expended on the baton can overcome
the discords.
Hairsplitting Justice.
The Missouri supreme court has
Just rendered a decision wnicn is a
conspicuous example of hairsplitting
lust ice. A former St. Louie city offi
cial, convicted and 'serving time, has
been .granted a. new trial on the
ground that the. article ''the" was
omitted from before the word "state"
in the sentence In the indictment,
which' should read "against the pec
and dignity of the state."
Juat at present when there Is a
widespread criticism of reversals by
higher courts on purely technical
grounds this decision is bound to
arouse unfavorable criticism. The
criminal Jurisprudence of this country
Is built up around the principle that
a roan accused of crime must have an
absolutely fair trial and all hie rights
and immunities preserved to htm. The
presumption ot Innocence is basic and
should not be Infringed upon, but' in
passing upon caeea the courts aome
tlmea overlook the fact that the public
also has rights in criminal prosecu
tions no leas vital and that the pun
ishment of crime Is necessary for the
protection of society.
AH present-day thought is along the
linea that no reversal should be
granted unless some 'substantial"
right of the accused has been denied.
One of the most distinguished advo
cates of this reform Is President Taft.
In the case In point no one would con
tend that the omission of the mean
ingless article "the" robbed the de
fendant of any "substantial" right.
The word signified nothing id the in
dictment, neither did Us omission in
any way obscure ita meaning, yet in
the oprnion of the Missouri supreme
eourt Its mission anUtWs the de-
fendant to a "new trial, which after a
long lapse of time may result differ
ently, after a jury In what was pre
sumably a fair hearing had pro
nounced him guilty.
Such hairsplitting Justice does more
to bling the courts Into disrepute than
can well be estimated. The solution
of the difficulty Is not ao simple, how
ever, as the average layman 'might
imagine. In all probability, ridicu
lous as It may seem, the decision Is
doubtless it, line with established
precedent, whose overturning would
be more farreaching than appears to
the uninitiated, and possibly lead to
other evils more farreaching than this
particular case. Leaving It to the
bench to determine what constitutes
a substantial right of a person accused
f crime may not be wholly free from
objection, but the law could be made
more definitely applicable to prevent
needless reversals in a majority of
cases.
Like nnexplalnable verdicts by
juries, decisions on flimsy grounds
tend to undermine popular confidence
In the courts and It Is as much to the
interest of the Judiciary and the bar
as of the ordinary citizen that such
abuses be made impossible.
Deata of H. H. Rogers.
The sudden death of H. H. Rogdrs
has taken from the financial and In
dustrial world one of. its commanding
figures. Although most commonly
known aa a product of the Standard
Oil company. It Is generally conceded
that it was his brains which evolved
the plans by which its vast Interests
were centralised and made to work
harmoniously. Had he done nothing
else this would have afforded a strik
ing testimony to his organizing
genius, but it waa only one of a num
ber of great undertakings which he
carried to a successful conclusion, in
cluding the Amalgamated Copper com
pany and his Virginia coal road.
The sudden taking off of a man oc
cupying such a pivotal position In the
world of finance and connected with
so many enterprises might reasonably
have been expected to precipitate
costly confusion in the securities of
those corporations In which he was
largely Interested. That Its effect on
the market was Inconsiderable Is a
tribute both to the perfection of these
industrial organizations and also a
demonstration of the oft-repeated re
mark that no man ia indispensable, no
matter how great his power or how
commanding hia genius. An incompe
tent can wreck them, as has been dem
onstrated often, but as a rule the
dropping out of a leader simply lets
Others who have helped develop out
the scheme step to the front and carry
on the work.
In New Hampshire, Too.
Excessive charges by the express
companies are the target not only In
Nebraska, but In various parts of the
country. The latest -center shot has
been scored in New Hampshire, where
the state railroad commissioners have
decided a case against the American
Express company, finding the charges
for the transportation pf goods within
the state unreasonable and promul
gating a new schedule of rates based
on a combination of weight and dis
tance computations,' with allowance
for competitive points and transfers
from one line to another. ,
One Of the peculiarities of the New
Hampshire case, as reported, Is that
the demand of the merchants and ship
pers has been more particularly for
lower rates on the smaller packages
sent short distances. This class of
business is the class that would be
taken over -by the Postofflce depart
ment under a parcels post system, and
the express companlea set up that this
small package business was an insig
nificant and unremunerative part ot
the whole. Such an argument, of
course, ought to give the parcels post
the support of both the merchants and
the express companlea, when, as every
one knows, were It not for the express
companies' opposition we would have
had the parcels post all over the coun
try long ago. '
The New Hampshire order reducing
express rates is In point for Nebraska
only In that it tends to sustain the law
enacted In this state for lower rates
f,or express company shlpmenta. It
the express companlea are unable to
withstand the complaint that their
charges are excessive and unreasona
ble In New Hampshire, they are cot
likely to make out any better case
here In. Nebraska, where charges have
been. If anything, still higher. -.

does not have much sympathy .with
Mr. Bryan'a lament that the republi
cans had a bigger campaign fund than
the democrats last year and suggests
that with a different candidate inspir
ing more confidence among democrats

mate that It was Mr; Bryan'a $10,000

kept the democratic fund down.
Before talking about ' giving the

money Is for some public-spirited mil
lionaire to make the city a present.

Gvm Hla Party Away.
Charleston News and Courier (dem.).
Mr. Bryan's observation that the repub
licans had a campaign, fund of $1.6JO,000,
as compared with a democratic fund of
tfioo.000 last year, scarcely strengthens hla
contention aa to the power and popular
ity, of the democratic party. A party
that cannot raise a fund sufficiently large
to conduct a vigorous campaign la not In
a healthy condition. Th republican fund
was not big enough to corrupt the elec
torate. T'lere ia little reason to. believe
that any considerable number of votes
was purchased by either party in 1904
and th reluctance of democrats te con
tribute to tha party fund exposed the
failure of Mr. Bryan's candidacy to arouse
democratlce enthuatarm.
THE MEW BUDGET, -
Making National Eineadltnre Con
form to National Revenue.
New York Tribune.
Secretary MacVeagh'a remark that th
United Siatea would soon have a budget
system In fore such as exists In moat
European countries indicates that the ad
ministration la working out plana for mak
ing national expenditure conform more
atrlctly to national revenue. Hitherto th
executive department haa not greatly con
cerned Itself with th problem of making
ends meet. The aeoretary of the treasury
has transmitted to congress In December,
at the opening of each regular aeaalon, an
estimate of the revenues for the fiscal
year beginning on July 1 of the following
year. He has also sent in the estimates
of appropriations needed, mad up by the
various department and bureau chiefs.
But he haa not attempted to revlae and
reduce the est I ma tea of outlay to make
them eorrfapond with iha government's
expected Income. That unpleasant duty
haa been ' passed over to the house of
representatives, which has often found
that the suma asked for wer 2o0.000.000.
78.WV,ooo or $100,000,0(0 in excess of the
predicted revenue.
How the old system worked can be well
Illustrated by a glance at the history of
the a p propria tlona for the present fiscal
year. IMS. 'OS, and th next fiscal year,
19Tv-"10. For 190&V09 the estimates for ex
penditure carried in the regular appro
priation bill amounted to 1925.264.000. The
house of representative ruthlessly cut
down these figures to $787,07.000 a redue
tlon of $138,000,000. The senat again raised
the amounta carried to $881,(W3.000. and
after the bllla came from conference
committee their InUl ' waa $854,203,000
$71,008,000 lesa than the eatlmate. But the
deficit for 190e-'O will be nearly $100,000,000.
ao that the estlmatea exceeded the govern
ment's Income by $1T1.000.0U.
For lSOS-'lO the estimates wer $4a,000.oc0.
The house of representatives cut that total
to $873,000,000. The.aenat raised it again
to $M7,908.0O0, and the acta as passed
carried $S,18.000-$eo,000,000 leva than the
estimate. The deficit . In revenue for
1-'10 is now estimated at $4&,ono.ono or
over. So the demands made (or appropri
ations will probably exceed the govern
ments mean by more than $106,000,000.
Th administration will bring about an
admirable reform If It succeeds in keeping
request tor. appropriation - within the
limit of th treasury's resource. Indicat
ing specifically If a deficit really seem
unavoidabla how much money should be
provided by additional taxation and how
It should b raiaed. It ia only fair that
th executive and the senate should rellev
the house of representatives of a share of
the burden of combating too lavish appro
priations. Co-operation all along th line
will aoon show whether or not the govern
ment Is now spending more than la really

A political play. In which William J
Bryan and Theodore Rrosevclt are
burlesqued with soma cleverness and local
color, la doing moderate bus!nea In a hew
York theater. The action represent Bryan
on a visit to New York, seeing th sight
of the town, rubbing elbows with show
girls, swapping political talk with Tarn
many men, participating In a convivial
bcut and singing, , "I'm from Llnkun and
I'm Thlnkun." Meanwhile he meddles with
the rivalry of a Herman and an Irishman
for congress, and lets himself loose In the
hilarities of the Tenderloin, In the latter
locality, chaperoned by "Charles J. Mur
phy." the stateliest of the play's show
girls passes by In one of those sheath
gewns which, the fashion writer tell us.
have absolutely no petticoats underneath.
Just before she goes out of sight, whatever
It la that hold up that gown's skirt let
go, snd she makes her exit In flesh-tinted
hosiery looking like her own skin from
gaiter tops to belt line.
"What was that, Charles J.?' says
Bryan.
"A looloo. William J.." says Murphy.
"Sorry I didn't have my eyes open, Char,
ley."
"Walt pop-eyed till the next one come
along, Willie."
The second one Is no such lady as the
first. She has the breexe of the Bowery
rather than the air of Broadway.
"Don't wink," say Murphy.
"I'll look if It blasta my eyesight," say
Bryan.
Then Murphy cries out to the girl'
"There's a mouse run up you."
"Ow ooo ouch," she screams.
She yanks her skirt high as she flees:
but a pair of high rubber boots, besides
ample lingerie, shut out what Bryan Is
looking to see. . '
John West, the, actor assigned to an imi
tation of Bryan, requires scant touching
up- to make a lifelike resemblance without
caricature; the manner of the celebrated
candidate Is not exaggerated for travesty,
and so we have a rather sober and sedate
Bryan figuring In th toclory of a new ex-1
travaganza. He la an extraneous and in-1
congruous personage, suggesting a man of
solidity at home shaken down by sirens
abroad; yet he Is not maltreated In any
way to lose votes for him next time. The
audience applauds him while It laughs.
Theodore Rooseveit la dealt with less
considerately. Near to the end of the
evening, when one of this jfg-atepplng,
rlfle-Juggllng, . wall-mounting . troops or
troupes of gymnasts In th guls of
souaves give an exhibition drill, Roosevelt
Is at the center of a tableau disclosed by a
rising curtain. He la posed in the bright
spot of th limelight, which glints from hi
eyeglass and radlatea from the white teeth
of his big grin burlesqued. It Is a comic
cartoon, though intended for a patriotic
picture, and a great explosion of merri
ment was touched off th night I was
present, by the gallery boy who, on seeing
Teddy in the khaki of a Cuban Rough
Rider Just like his garb as a hunter of big
game In Africa, let out an Imitation of a

Th AtUntlc Garden, one of the few re

today to the old Bowery the Bowery which
saw th wealth And fashion of the town go
nightly to the Thalia theater and slip Into
the garden next door for a bit and a alp
between the acts celebrated lta fifty-first
birthday lat Friday evening under a
shadow. The shadow was cast by th
Manhattan bridge, already looming large
to th east and projecting ltaelf nearer and
nearer to the spot that still haa the aavor
of the old day.
The garden was opened on My s. If,
by the father of the present Kramers, and
part of It la the original Bull's Head tavern
of th revolution, one of Washington's
many headquarters. It waa the center of
the German Uf. of the town, and there
Kramer first showed the great orcheatrlon,
the wonder of lta time, which ' he bought
from the grand duke of Baden. There, too,
the German regiments of the civil war
made thi-lr headquarter and recruiting
station, and there rlaj'fl th famous

The Chinese looked meekly up Into her

"Yes." th young woman replied.
"Do you love every one?" was the next
pointed Inquiry.
"Yes," rhe answered. '
"Do you love me?"

"Will you mally me?"
There was no direct answer to this ques

Kills Germs
Nothing in medicine) is known which accomp
lishes such vast good in so short a time with
weak, broken-down, worn-out, diseased stom
achs and sluggish, torpid, lary livers, as Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery a standard
remedy for germ-laden, impure blood. When
you feel dull and sickish, tho bile is not flow
ing right, and the whole system suffers.
The organs lack power to convert food
into energy. Escterial germs thrive t the ex
pense of the blood corpuscles. To escape
worrisome stomach trouble and liver com
plaint, go to the aid of the blood corpuscles
and kill off the germs that would otherwise
invade your system.

PERSONAL NOTES.
Levi P, . Morton, former vice president,
who reached his 8Mb birthday Sunday, did
not enter politics until h was M year of
age.
In view of the sentence received by Cap
tain Halns, Brother T. Jenkins ought to
be more grateful than ever for what didn't
happen to him.
ThS police at Coney Island have to be
married men. Tough thing to eat are
handed out there, and experience is needed
in meeting the danger.
A Philadelphia man bet h could drink
two quarts of whisky within two hours.
He did; but he is dead. A Chicago girl
bet she could waits one hour without
stopping. She did; but she Is dead. These
thing save the fool-killer troubl. how
ever. Now that a Baltimore man has erected a
monument to Adam In the form of a statue
It may be hoped that Some grateful
descendant of the original pair will pay
equal honor to Mother Eve, who was fully
aa gool as Adam, If not a little better.
Captain Josh Fournler of East Marlon,
L. I., guide for many New York wealthy
sportsmen to the haunts of sea bass and
blackflsh In Long Island Sound, Is dead.
He died in his little house close by the
waters of the sound, which Is furnished
Ilk a cabin of a ship, and where he had
resided sine he gave up dp- fishing,
twenty-five year ago. "
Prof. Julius Hey, Instructor of ome of

William J. Bryan visited Columbus th
other day, speaking at a banquet. A re
porter of the Ohio State Journal Inter
viewed htm upon the tariff and other
political topica of the day. The reporter
asked the Nebraskan whether he would
be a candidate for president in 1912, but
got no satisfactory ' answer; upon the
Payne-Aldrlch bill now before the aenate.
however, Mr. Bryan was more communi
cative. ,
Th thrice beaten candidate for preaident
has no confidence that congress will turn
out a finished tariff act that will satisfy
th public. On the other hand "if the
democrats had won and been able to carry
out their tariff reform policy it would
have settled the question and have per
mitted a resumption of business."
Even Mr. Bryan would probably admit
that It la very difficult to determine from
th attitude of the democrats now in con
gress Juat what their ''tariff reform
policy" is. Their policy appears to be to
get sll they can for themselves and to
practice reform on th other fellow.
Were th democrats In th majority and
pledged to revise th tariff, they would b
forced by circumstance to adopt some
policy and fight for It. But their attitude
now, In their foot free condition. Indicate
how ahallow their conviction for real re
form is.
But, If Mr. Bryan la dissatisfied with th
exhibition th member of hi party ar
now making in congress, why does he not
assert some of th prerogative of his as
sumed leadership and try to g-uld them
to see th question right? Th Nebraska
man stands as nominal head of a great
minority party whose representative both
in the upper and lower house of congress
are making their ancient faith a laughing
stock for the nation. It may b doubted
whether Mr. Bryan could change his
party's position to th extent of a skngle
man's vote on a single schedule of the
Urlff bill, yet h has a perfect license to
speak and th fact that he had mad such
an effort would give him greater freedom
to crtticls the tariff measure both now
and after lta passage.

WHAT THEN?

Oh. Eves-n'.Rhie, when you ar eld.
Oh. Tonalehead. when you ar grown.
What will th sunset's flsmlng gold.
And m hat the warm nlght'a umber ten
Hold In their varied tint for me?
Whst will the mocking bird's glad son-?
I wonder wilt rev dns then he
Short daynd glad, or saft days and lonf.
Now nil mv days at ahort. th dawn
Seems scarce to fade before the nrght
Coma to announce that dsv Is gone
And under In th glad delight
Of scramble with you en the floor,
Of nlck-a-paek along the hall.
Of snuggling down behind the. door
And Jumping out with 'startling calls.
Of playing horse on hands and knees
With bdby clinging to mv ears.
Of shying with a snort and whees.
Of blinking to keep hnrk th tears
When on esr nets a sudden twist.
Of falls and humr and frleThtened cries.
Of bruises held up to he kissed,
Of tears to wlp from bjby' eyes.
What will It mean when ail of this.
The hide-ind-aeek and rowdy-dow.
The Jump and grih snd sudden kiss
That make the day seem so short now
Are gone and done and you are old,
And I am older than you ar? - -How
will I view the sunset's g'.ld, -
How view the brilliant evening stsr?
When dimpled arms""'re round my neck
And baby lipa are pressed to mine.
When my back is the tossing deck
Of som proud ship that cleaves th brtn
And I can feel the caitaln' knees
Drive me and guide m past all grief.
Past rocking chairs, through stormy seas,
And past each danger and each rf.
Oh. well, I'll Juat bo lonesome then
I'll fit In my arm clMlr and smoke.
