Mr. Taft has made It plain in his
ddress t Charlotte, N. C, ht his
Ideas are concerning the political fu
ture of the aouth and also the object
he had In view In appointing a demo
crat to the federal bench In that state.
He emphasizes the Inadvlsablllty of a
political cleavage baaed on a sentiment
which la obsolete rather than on pres
ent day Interests. While avoiding a
partisan discussion or advocacy of the
principles of his own party, he has
pointed out In the first place - the
benefit to be derived from a healthy
and vigorous minority actuated by
principle. A healthy division of this
kind, however, could never be obtaned
along the lines of class, race or tradi
tion which revolve wholly around the
past.
Coupled with a deserved tribute to
the ideals which had bound together
the southern people In their hour of
adversity, the president urges that the
Industrial development has made a
new south, with new Issues and new
points of political view similar to those
along which party lines are drawn in
the north, and that If the same Ideals
divided parties In' both sections there
would disappear the last excuse for
sectionalism, which in times of stress
might rise up to divide the people and
work great injury to all.
Mr. Taft takes occasion, too, in dis
cussing his appointment of a demo
crat as federal Judge, to point out that
he Is not the first republican president
to do so, that it is not a political move
nor an admission there are no southern
republicans capable of filling such
places, but simply In furtherance of a
policy of upholding the standard of the
federal Judiciary by naming, regard
less of politics, the best material called
to his attention. He further explains
that the action must not be interpreted
as meaning that southern republicans
are to be Ignored or that he proposes
to use public offices as a bait for demo
cratic votes.
Is It the Same Tammany?
And so Tammany In threatening to disci
pline Congressman Sulzer because he voted
with the democratic congressmen against
Cannonlsm! , Well, Tammany will have
enough to do apologising for the congress-
man it did control without attempting to
punish Sulzer for being loyal to democratic
principles. The Commoner.
Is this the same Tammany to which
Mr. Bryan has so often paid tribute?
Is it the same Tammany on whose
festive occasions he regularly ad
dresses laudatory letters?
Is It the same Tammany to greet
whose delegates he made a special
pilgrimage from Falrview to the Lin
coln station last summer and had him
self photographed In the act of em
bracing hand clasp with "Bobs" Mur
phy? Is this the same Tammany, and, if
so, Is it any different now from what
It was before last fall's election?
Folk on Democracy.
Former Governor Folk of Missouri
was partly on the right road when he
said in a recent address that the demo
cratic party had too many issues and
'that we have been shooting in the
air in the hope of striking something."
That democracy has been so divided
as to lack the force to make it effec
tive Is unquestionably the fact. It is
not so much that the party has too
many issues, but that it is composed
of so many elements, each with an
issue of its own which is not endorsed
by the others, which in a large measure
renders It impotent to attract recruits.
It is not that democracy has too many
real Issues, but that It has and always
has had too many fala Issues which
the logic of events has wrecked as time
passed. It is continually appealing to
the people with the apology on its Hps
"I was wrong the last time I know,
but this remedy Is ail right." The
political doctor with a graveyard
record ot mistakes does not inspire
confidence and an apology for always
having been wrong does not attract
the following of thoughtful men.
The great weakness of the demo
cratic party is that Its espousal ot
visionary and impracticable theories
from campaign to campaign has col
lected about Its standard numerous
groups of enthusiasts who are agreed
upon nothing except that the repub
licans are wrong and that they them
selves want the offices. How anyone
can expect to fuse such a mass into a
compact body behind real issues, even
the Missouri governor has not at
tempted to explain.
End of Debate in Sight.
There are numerous signs that the
debate in the senate over the tariff
bill is gradually drawing to a close
and that from now on action will be
more rapid. Up to within a few days
there has been no effort to force or
even urge the voting on schedules,
but full opportunity has been afforded
to all who desired to talk to fill up
space in the Congressional Record.
The president Is quoted as saying that
he thought the bill would be passed
and sent to him by June 20, which is
sooner than most people had calcu
lated. Senator Aldrlch and other leaders in
the upper house within the last few
days, without being Insistent, have
asked senators to permit more rapid
disposal of the schedules and the dis
position is apparent to do so. It the
bill is passed at or near the time men
tioned It will be at a date early enough
to give manufacturers and business
men generally ample time during the
months of summer dullness to adjust
tbelr affairs and to let fall business
proceed upon solid ground and under
definitely known conditions.
What is of more Importance than
the president's opinion as to when the
bill will be passed Is bis views concern
ing the bill itself. He is quoted as
adhering to the belief that the measure
as passed would be such as to war
rant his signature and a step In the
right direction. The president all along
has been outspoken in advocacy of
genuine revision for lightening tariff
burdens. Mr. Taft Is cautious and he
could easily have deferred an expres
sion of opinion had he so desired. His
views reflect the practical assurance
that out of the conference between
the two houses will come a bill which
will fairly meet the demands of the
country.
Expedite the Session Lawi.
Among other provisions of our Ne
braska constitution is this:
All laws shall be published In book form
within sixty dayt after the adjournment
of each session and distributed among the
several counties In such manner aa the leg
islature may provide.
In the past this constitutional re
quirement has been observed only in
the breach without regard to whether
the responsible officers have been re
publicans, democrats or populists.
We wonder whether any Improve
ment on this bad record will be forth
coming this time. The late legislature
enacted an exceptionally largo number
of new laws with which the people af
fected ought to have a chance to get
acquainted before they become opera
tive. The Intention of the constitu
tion framers was to have tike Session
laws available and accessible all over
the state at least, thirty days before
they should go into effect. There is
yet time to get under the sixty-day
limit if the proper authorities exert
the pressure at the right place.
Chancellor Avery.
The action of the Board of Regents
in electing Acting Chancellor Avery to
be chancellor of our State university
is an endorsement of his administra
tion as temporary head of the Institu
tion and a vote of confidence that will
be approved by all the friends of the
university.
When Dr. Avery was put in charge,
on the retirement of Chancellor An
drews, It was in the nature of an ex
periment, although with the under
standing and expectation that he
should be given a fair opportunity to
demonstrate his fitness for the posi
tion with a view to earning a perma
nent appointment.
That he has been able in such com
paratively short time to impress his
qualities of leadership and to establish
a firm grasp of the many difficult
phases of the university work neces
sary to Its successful guidance testifies
to his persistent and well directed en
ergy and tactfulnesa in handling the
delicate questions constantly pre
sented. Having demonstrated that he fills
the requirements of scholarship and
executive ability. Dr. Avery adds the
additional qualification of being In the
prime of life, wth a full period of use
fulness ahead of him. The University
of Nebraska is bound to grow and has
a chancellor now who gives every
promise of growing with it.

The leaders of the strike movement
among the public service employes of
France evidently lacked tha rr.r.tal bal
ance with which to weigh the patriotism
and common sense of their followers. They
mistook tha cheers and hussas which wel
comed radical sentiments as proof of una
nimity, and In their exalted Condition of
fancied power imagined that their word
was supreme; that the government would
abdicate Its functions and submit to tha
dictates of ita creatures. When put to the
Ust not only did the government vindicate
Ita supremacy, but the organised followers
of unwise leaders showed sound sense la
refusing to take the step leading to certain
defeat. A small number of the organised
body obeyed orders, but fully ninety per
Cent, realised In time tha folly of the
move and atood for the government and
their Job's. Never has a movement of such
vast proportions In the advance notices
proven so complete a fiasco. The result
emphasises a fact too often flouted by
agitators that government Is for all tha
people, not tor a class In the public service.

The11 Invasion acare via the North Sea
haa shifted from the dally and weekly
papers and taken a tight grip on British
magailnea. One of the wildest alarmists
spreads an outburst of hysteria over
several pager of the National Review and
a few sentences will serve to show a state
of mind worthy of a place In an Insane
ward. The article purports to be a trans
lation of a German pamphlet describing the
Invasion of England by a fleet pf German
airshipe In 1911. Two hundred British
warships steamed Into tha North Sea. to
meet the Invader. This Is what happened.
In the writer's mind: "The fleet waa 30
miles west of Heligoland, when Its outpost
ship sighted great German armored
cruisers on the horlton. A thick fog en
veloped the sky In dense gray, obscuring
tho view. The fleet waa Just about to
carry out a change of front, when sud
denly one after the other fearful ex
plosions occurred' on three ships. Before
it had been grasped what had occurred,
fresh detonations followed, and now began
an ,unbroken, murderoua bombardment by
an unseen foe. The brave sailors were
panlo-etricken. It was, obvious that they
found themselves Immediately beneath tha
German air-fleet, which, favored by the
weather, had escaped the notice of the
English balloon scouts. Now followed a
scene of which the few survivors cannot
speak without shuddering. A gray mass
plunged with furious rapidity through the
air, and amidst an uproar as if the end ot
tho world were at hand, tha admiral's
ship was blown Into atoms. Twenty or
so ships In proximity were likewise blown
up and sunk." The rest of the fleet was
scattered In all directions and many of
them captured. A German aoout balloon
brought to England news of tha destruc
tion ot the fleet.
The big trading nations of the world have
eo far restricted the rights of China that
the government Is forced to humble itself
and aak permission to Increase its Import
duties. The present Chinese tariff, nominally
on a 5 per cent ad valorem basis. Is ac
tually but 4"4 per cent. Last year Ita im
port revenue waa but 16,000.000 and showed
a reduction of more than 1760,000 from 1907.
Since the treaty of Peking the fall In the
value of sliver haa operated to Increase
tho Boxer Indemnity by 26 per cent. With
this Increased drain on the national treas
ury and with decreased Import revenue,
China's only resource Is its likln tax,
which, if greatly increased, will crush com
merce with its burden. The government
at Pekln asks a chance to regulate ita rev
enues so that It can do business and pay
Its bills. Tho United 8tates, seeking a
legitimate development of trade In China,
Indorses the request for an international
conference. Refusal by the other powers
indlcstes a purpose to reduce the nation
to still greater dependency.
The railroad bandits of the northwest
have all the dash, but lack the picturesque
element, which causea the people of aev
eral provinces of Russia to mourn the
untimely end of one Savltsky, known for
many years as the "Robin Hood of the
Ruaslan revolution." Ha got wtihln range
of tha guns of the rural guards at Mohilev
the other day and took Into his system
more lead than he could assimilate. Sa
vltsky was a high school student when he
took the road and began his series of
daredevil escapades, which liave had. the
police of tho provinces cf Tchernlgov and
Mohilev on the verge of nervous prostra
tion for the last few years, and which
have kept the St. Petersburg clubs in roars
of laughter. He would go to any length,
and tako any risk, to irmke a police official
look the fool, but his chief aim In life
appeared to be the relieving of the rich
from their aurplua gold. All that he took
from them he gave to the poor. Like
other outlawa ha met his end through

An "appreciation" of Abdul Hamld by a
writer in the London Tlmea credits the
deposed sultan with many admirable
traits which escaped general notice. Abdul
had "almoet miraculous powers of work."
He waa unfailingly courteous to those
with whom he came in contact. "Personal
appeals to his benevolence rarely, If ever,
failed to meet with a gratifying response."
"He could scarcely be prevailed upon to
confirm a aentence of death passed by a
regular tribunal, even when, as was tha
case a few years ago, the crime waa that
of an attempt on his own life." He "was
an enthulaat for education, founded ele
mentary schools even In remote places In
Asia Minor, and established hospitals and
medical colleges all over his empire." A
member ot the human family who, after
thrlty-three years in power, did not have

An enterprising Dutch astrologer won a
wide area of publicity and friendly com

Holland's "Orange bud" twenty minutes

"Princess Juliana will be trustworthy,
honorable and prudent In word and deed.
She will possess great power of will,
which, however, will not be uselessly em
ployed. She will be sympathetic and phil
anthropic, and will work dtslntoreetly and
quietly for others without desire for . re
ward, but seeking perfection In all things.
Tha princess will also follow art ajid
science and will have a special talent for
music and poetry. Companionable and elo

knack of getting on well with all sorts
of people,"
According to Its critics, the new British
budget, If enacted In Its present shape,
will increase the liquor licenses of hotels
to what will be In many cases prohibitive
figures. Thus four hotels at Cardiff, which
now pay $300 each, under Mr. Lloyd
George's proposals will be required to pay
respectively $6,760, $6,000, $6,626 and $3,780.
Such a system would be high license In

CRITICISM Or Jl'DGES.
Jadlrial Test of the Right

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Shall the law permit criticism of a judge's
record In office, Or must he, coming up for
re-election, be considered Immune from at
tack on account of work already done on
the bench? This. In effect, appears to bo
the sjuestlon at stake In the Thatcher dis
barment case from Toledo to be heard by
the supreme court of the state on the tirst
of next month.
If the public were to be barred from re
viewing the record of a Judge who orfera
himself for re-election he would evidently
enjoy at the outset a tremendous advan
tage over any rival who might desire to
displace him. On the other hand, one who
should try to defeat a Judge already occu
pying tho benrh would have an almost in
supeiable obstacle to overcome. His own
record, character snd capabilities would be
open to attack by the partisans of the
judge, while his own friends would be pro
hibited from returning the fire. Tha bat
teries of one army would be silenced by
law, while the army Itself would be ex
poned to bombardment by opposing forces.
This dots not appeal to one as a fair prop

However, the principle of elective courts
Is so firmly established In this country that
It Is likely to survive, at least for a long
time. The public elects its judges, as it
does Its congressmen and mayors, to serve
the public interests. While ona should be

THE HOUSE OF MEMORIES.
Pall Mall Gazette.
There's a little house In a little street
A little way from the sea. '
And. oh. when I'm weary of all the woi4t
It's there that I fain would be.
For the world Is full of sorrow and care
And the darkness lies before;
And the little house Is full of the dream
That were ours, but are our no more.
In the little street In the long ago
In the little house by the sea.
Wo dreamed of the days that had no dawn,
Of the years that shall never be.
But you were young and I was young.
And we dreamed and had no care.
And dearer and better than life has been
Were the dreams that cams to us ther
And so, when I'm wesry of all the world,
Of Ita sordid hopes and Ita pain,
I think of the little house that waa ours,
And algh to be there again.
'Twere heaven enough If we found our
dreams
And dreamed them again, maybe.
In the little house In the little street,
. A little way from the sea.
