Q- D." call which central can be made to answer. Taft on the Constitution. Two notable addrensea concerning the federal constitution mere made Wednesday, one by President Taft and the other by Attorney General Wlck ersbam, whose utterances may be clasped as corollary to that -of - b.18 chief. Each Is a lawyer of high at tainments and large experience, and their vtewa are baaed, therefore, on the practical aa well as the academic phases-of the constitution's capacity for meeting existing and future condi tions. President Taft is not unmind ful that changing times have and probably will continue) to demand re vision of the constitution and new applications of present provisions, but on the whole declares It the best basis of government yet devised. Mr. Taft and Mr. Wlckeraham point out that expansion and ' development of commerce demands the enlarge ment of federal powera to meet con ditions which could not possibly have been foreseen by the founder of the government, yet the president can aee no reason why state governments with distinctive powera should -ever be abrogated. One point where federal power can profitably b extended, In the opinion of the attorney general, la the chartering and control of cor porationa engaged in Interstate trade. No human vision could vhave foreseen the development of " business enter prise of auch magnitude and com plexity aa now exist. Change In prac tice, however, Is not a change in prin ciple, which was thnt Internal affairs of the state ahould be left to the atate. Developments have simply transferred these Questions to the. wider national field. One point stands out clearly In tht president's address and, that Is he real- Ires, aa well as the pessimistic critics governmental failures to Teach the highest Ideals, but he Is not without hope because his vision is broader. He sees the great things accomplished for humanity under the constitution, so often lost sight of by- carping critics who note only lta failures. Further more, Mr. Taft attributes the failures nd shortcomings, not to limitations or basic errors in ' the - constitution itself, but to man's inability . to rise eqnal to the opportunities afforded him. This fault always baa been and probably ever will inhere in every government, no matter how formed. Neither democracy nor aristocracy are infallible or gifted with perfect Insight Into the future, and any government la barred by these v human frailltles from attaining perfection. . The Next Paramount. ! Federal Judge VanDevanter of Wyoming, Senator Warren's pet, "and Mungef Issued an Injunction today preventing, the. state officials from enforcing- the. bank guar anty law. This means that lt will have to take the usual' route am) time to get a decision from the United Stales supreme oeurt. By that - time another legislature will have come and. j-qjie-V V"1! aV d n the federal coucU .but, t'ou, cyid .'put It out of business 41 you wanted to. The Only real need for such Court Is to pro tect the corporations from the .law made by the people. And yet a majority of the voters support the men who utilise such public vehicles to prevent you from mak ing laws to regulate thane creatures of the laws you foolishly niirde years ago. Take your medicine ahd smile between cusses. Crete Democrat. If the Crete Democrat speaks aa an oracle, it la fair to presume that we have here a coming paramount issue. "Put the federal courts out of busi ness" will, In that event, be the dem ocratic slogan to take the place of Let the people rule." Just put the federal courts out of business and all our social Ilia will disappear before the legislative cure-alls and. political panaceas prescribed by discredited nos trum venders. Put the federal courts out of business and decide the consti tutionality of all our laws by popular rote. That ought to be a good issue for the democrats, to gq before the people on next time. - Nag-el Starts a Scare. . ' Secretary Nagel has caused a panic among the' employes of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor by the announcement that "a day's'pay for a day's work" is to be the rule in his office. The aecretary la a practical man, who can aee no good reason why a man ahould not Tender the govern ment adequate aer vice, and everyone except tue clerks themaolrea la .likely to agree with the, 'secretary , Clerk ships in Washington have 'long been looked, upon as snug harbors, where the' maximum of pay waa to be had for the minimum of effort If Secre tary Nagel can Change thla condition he -will have accomplished -what many othera have set out to do but failed The aecretary haa a reputation for do ing thlnga and of being persistent, but combatting the Inertia of Washington life will be a (est of his ability. De partmental methods are encumbered with red tape, much of It imposed by law, but there is no logical reason why the tape should not be wbund and unwound expeditiously. If busi ness methods, with a reasonable,' re turn in work for .salaries paid, were the rule In Washington, it would iave millions of dollars : annually as .well aa materially add to the efficiency of the government. - Wife's Bight to Scold, i 'Judge Shetton of the "Circuit ciurt it Macon, Mo., haa decreed that It la the right of a wife tq scold' her hus band, and Indulgence; in 'that practice la no ground for divorce. v The Judge summons com eiuica.auu, xeo to back him. up when, he assorts a-man can take his 111 humor out on his em ployea, the street railway officials and any one. of a doaen other, juen " and things which come Ms way during a day downtown, but-the-wife ha to stay at home and nurae'b'ef ' wrath all day long, and it ia a poor apeclmen of a man who will not permit her to blow off steam when he comes home. Na ture requires a safety valve, and ten chances to one that ia what ahe took him for. At most a little scolding does no harm, and when a man be comes accustomed to It adda variety, which la the spice of life. Some men, the judge asserts, grant their wives no other privilege, and simply want to deprive them of this because they are unable to hold their own at th game, and that, further, It Is a neces sary part of man's education In humil ity. Pleasant as residence in Missouri must be to those who are educated up to it. In the face of this decision it Is not likely that men will settle in Ma con for the sole purpose of securing a divorce. Frankness. If "open confession Is good for the soul," the following, from the Ord Journal,, which boasts its loyalty aa a partlaan democratio organ, baa, at least, the merit of frankneaa, which other democratio mouthpieces lack: A democratio legislature enacted the law thkt provides for a nonpartisan judlolary. It Is thus Incumbent upon democratio news papers believing In the law to uphold the principles of the enactment by divorcing politics from their support of candidate for judicial offices. Particularly la this true with regard to the candidates for the supreme bench. On the other hand It Is reasonable to expect that democratio news papers will feel more acquainted with dem ocratic judges and republicans feel more kindly to candidates who have always al lied themselves with that party. The Jour nal means to be as pearly nonpartisan aa human frailties will permit In the matter of candidates for nonpolltlcal offices. With this prelude the Journal com mits itself to two known democrats for Its preferred nonpartisan candi dates for the supreme bench, evidently being still undecided as to another nonpartisan democrat to fill the third place, perhaps because, the tip has not yet gone out from democratic head quarters. In proclaiming its purpose to be aa "nearly nonpartisan aa human frailties will permit In the matter of candidates for nonpolltlcal offices," the only thing the Journal forgot Is to put up the sign, "No republicans need apply." The Champlain Celebration. The tercentennial of the discovery of Lake Champlaln commemorated a series of events momentous In the world's history. Of the four nations and one vanishing race participating, only the United States now has any direct Interest In the lake and its sur rounding territory, ' yet the narrow atrip from New York to the outlet of Lake Champlaln was for two cen turies the acene of battles which set tled' the destiny of a continent. None of the battles was large in the sense of forces engaged, but they were all fierce and vital. The Indian waa van quished' and ia vanishing, the Dutch and1 the French nationally have disap peared, from 'the continent, and what remains to Great Britain was wrested from France. Almost in sight of the lake was the turning point of the rev olution when Burgoyne laid down his arms. Again in 1811 it was the thea ter of struggle, but with that war ended its martial history, Significant of the tlmea waa the meeting on thla "dark and bloody ground" of representatives of the older nations which figured in lta history and the president of the United States to pledge their governments to peace. No reason la apparent, now at leaat, why the United Statea should ever again be involved in war with any of the othera, and lta 80,000,000 people sincerely hope the formal felicitations of the celebration shall be perpetual realities for all. When the "Immediate and compul aory law for the purchase Of the Omaha water plant waa passed lta framera pointed with great glee to the fact that the city of Omaha waa espe cially prohibited from the power of levying a tax for the purpose of paying hydrant rentals. The "immediate' clause of thla law ia not yet operative. the "compulsory" la still to be en forced, but the rentala have run on and on until Omaha now faces the emer gency of creating a large fund to pay a debt that should have been cared for as It went along. The wisdom of thts course differa In no material respect from the Wisdom employed In general by the "immediate and compulsory1 purchasers in dealing with the water question. Tet this reflection contains little consolation for the taxpayers who have footed already aome very heavy bills that the reputation of a water logged statesman might be kept afloat It may not be out of place at this juncture to call attention of aome of the Omahaphobea to the fact that the report of railroad earnlnga in Nebraaka aa made for 1908 glvea another evi denoe of the commercial Importance of thla city. The total earnlnga reported by the Nebraaka llnea on Nebraaka buainess for 1908 Is a trifle less than 128,000,000. Of thla amount Omaha business contributed over 1 10,000,000, or more than one-third, while South Omaha added more than $(,000,000, the two cities combined furnishing nearly two-thirds of the total business of the state for the railroads. It is well to keep thla In mind. The action of the State Banking board in restricting advertising of atate banks to facta ia one that will com mend itself. The worat feature of the guaranty deposit law is that under it unscrupulous and reckless individuals are enabled to secure a standing they could not possibly obtain on tbelr own merit. With the credit of the state to aupport their schemes they push them selves ahead as financiers, their de posit creditors not worrying because back of the bank Is the state of Ne braska. As long as this law stands the state should aee to It that the people are not wilfully misled - by untrust worthy financiers. Educational conventions put In a large part of their time scoring rural teachers. While rural teachera and schools are not what they should be, did it ever occur to aome of the high salaried city auperlntendenta that pos sibly the rural teachers and schools make as much of their opportunities aa the critics do of theirs? Inaurance statistics show the fire loss for June was $14,435,950, and for the first six months of the year $103, 803,050, against 1136,497,160 for the same period last year. That Is an enormous toll to be charged up against Industry, especially when a large por tion of It could be avoided by proper construction methods. The Cleveland Plain Dealer says the new sultan of Turkey ia a typical dem ocrat. Now If we can only get him over here possibly we can answer the question, What is a democrat? Senator Page recently credited a quotation from Julius Caesar to th Bible. The senator should remember the injunction, "Render unto Caesat the things which are Caesar's." Publishers promise that the fall crop of books will be larger than ever, but there ia aome consolation In the fact that the open season on book agents comes in September. An English critic says Mark Twain ia losing his sense of humor, but latest reports were to the effect he was cash ing it In at the usual rate. Not Even nar-Cotel. Philadelphia Record. The Eugar Trust magnates are now com. pelled to swallow some pills that are quite different In taste from the sweets they produce for the publlo at a profit of 100 per cent. Wltn Urevt Unanimity. Bt. Louis oTobe-Demoerat. The principal objection to the corpora tion Income tax seems to bo that It would reveal the secret a pf corporation manage ment. If the ladles had the suffrage now, wouldn't they demand the corporation In come tax In thunder tones? Na Reason for Dlieoarageocnt, Springfield Republican. The movement to secure general popular election of United States senators through constitutional amendment should not be disturbed by the refusal of the senate to submit such an amendment along with that bearing on' the Income tax. The at-' flrmatlve action of only a few more state legislatures la needed to compel congress to call a convention of the states to deal with the matter. This Ought not to be Im possible of bringing about. : Vnlno pf n Fare. Boston Herald. The smiling face, of President Taft may not be his fortune, but It Js a great asset. No one can look bnpon,4tk without feeling like smiling back,. .And it must -be of great help In the interviews with office seekers. Mr." Roosevelt with his sxltted teeth' and Iron Jiw, often used to send applicants away In Ill-suppressed fury. Mr. Taft evidently knows how to temper the negative with his big good-humor.' To look upon reflections of that face during the next four years cannot fall to raise by a few degrees the average cheerfulness of the nation. GETTING HEADY FOR BUSINESS Hmrrlmnn Lines Preparing for the Comlnar Rnh. St. Louis Times. Pittsburg steel car manufacturers have received from the Harrlman lines the largest single order that haa been placed in reoent years. The order represents an expenditure of $6,200,000, and oalls for 5,300 oars. ' If this were not enough to show that prosperity Is not only returning, but has arrived, it to announced that In antlolpa tlon of heavy demands arrangements have been made to aequre delivery of a large number of the curs early in August. Railroads, especially, with shrewd guld ance such as Harrlman'a, do not tie up large sums of money In cars that are to lie Idle. More cars for the railroads means more business for the farmer, the mer- ohant and the manufacturer. ir. rtarriman's order for cars would seem to be an excellent business barome ter. One does not have to be an optimist to appreciate In what direction activity such aa thla portends. PEBSOJTAL NOTES. Mies riorence Lotoer. a lawyer of Louisiana, was one of the speakers at the recent meeting of the Louisiana State Bar association, when the property rights of married women were under consideration. A French submarine, in order to avoid collision with a warship, oromctly dived under It, showing the promptness of the commanding Intelligence and the discipline or the crew. But, more remarkable attli. the submarine came up again. After his wife had died of lockjaw, fol lowing a Fourth of July blank cartridge wound, a Kansas City man said: "I shall devote the rest of my life to flichtUia the criminal greed which lies at the bottom of this traffic In murder." And there are many others. Kx-AmbasBador Joseph H. Choate Is strong believer In the knee as a device for disciplining a wayward youngster. "I believe that a good man's knee has been the turning point In many a man's life,'' he said In an address at the Berkshire Industrial farm recently. According to an ordinance of Kewfleld, N. J., the names of local drunkards iave to be posted, and then, Instead of assuag ing the thirst of the erring, every bar tender must constitute himself a guardian and permit the thirst to rage. This the thirst doea, and Its possessor also. Mr. Whltelaw Reld, the American am bassador, Is living in Dorchester hous-3, Park Lane, In a style which Is only be fitting to the American ambassador at the court of St. James, but It is costing him tlfiO.OUO a year at least, toward which a salary of tn.&oO does not help much. Mayor Wentworth ef Tombstone, A Hi , has had his . hair cut. Wentworth has been distinguished for many years in the southwest by his flowing locks, which deeply covered his shoulders. In 1896 he vowed that the scissors should not again touch his hair until William J. Bryan became president and silver was restored to a ratio of sixteen to one.j Washington Life tori akeehea ef tneldeiita ana Xpleodee that Mark the lroa-reee ef areata at the Batloaal Capital Relative of the late Senator Allison of Iowa have made repeated efforts to ob tain the chair In which he sat until he be came the Nestor of the senate. Such trophle make helrloomr of the most Inti mate Interest, but In spite of the apparent reasonableness of the desire the senate re fuses to suspend it rule In such cases. It Is stated by the Brooklyn Eagle corre spondent that the one man who waa al lowed to retain his chair was Vice Presi dent Hamlin, permission being given him, not by the senate, but by two of the three oommlttees controlling appropriations. Their action was criticised by the main body, and an understanding reached that there should be no repltltion of It. Chairs wear out In time, but the desks put Into the senate chamber when first occupied are still there, though, of course, new ones have been necessarily added as new states have been admitted. Efforts to get possession of those oocupled by famous men of the past have been frequent, that at which Jefferson Davis sat being the most In demand. Perhaps It would be a profitable venture of the government to make a clearance sale of senate desks and and chairs. Doubtless enough could be realized not only to stock up anew throughout, but have a comfortable sur plus. It Is stated, however, that the desk with the famous associations are knqwn to be few. though a record Is kept. This Is to guard against the irrepressible relic hunter. Ever drink a timberdoodle?- Victor Mur- dock. a red-headed, recalcitrant republican representative from Kansas, Is authority for the statement that hack in the days of pretty Peggy O'Neal, who caused a social war and a cabinet crisis, the timberdoodle was the favorite beverage at her father'a tavern. In a valuable historical contribution apropos of the passing of the Metropolitan hotel aa one of Washington's famous hos- telries, Mr. Murdock Insinuated that Peggy's father'a tavern was the birthplace of the tlmberdoodlei which he says was a famous mixed drink In the early days of the republic and caused as much trouble as Peggy. But let Mr. Murdock speak for himself. It was here at the tavern bar that the timberdoodle first was mixed, being a variation of an earlier and less famous concootlon called 'stone fenoe.' The tim berdoodle cost a fin and a bit a drink, 'hard Jackson' paid 'dead on the nail.' That is 1SH cents In coin, and no tick. It was a searching fluid that would fill the head of a wooden Indian with fairy fan cies. It may have been responsible for the postmaster general's return to Jona than Meigs' famous order, excluding books from the mall because the sharp corners rubbed the addresses off the letters." And It may also have Inspired Calhoun's Idea of sending a boatload of skyrockets up the Missouri river to Impress and subdue the western Indians." What prohibition Kansas will say when It learns that the red-headed pride of Wichita has started his name thundering down the ages through a revival of an almost forgotten Intoxicant will be worth hearing. . The worst of the thing la that Mr. Murdock has not produced the timber doodle, reolpe. Mr. Murdock' Washington address' la the capltol. There Is one public man In Washington who has neither part nor lot in the pre vailing base ball spirit, relates the Na tional Magaiine, and that man. Is Uncle Joe Cannon. He was being shaved by the house tonsorlal artist one Saturday afternoon, when I asked If he was going to the ball game. He replied in his stately and characteristic way: "I really don't Intend to go to the game. While I can see how It might be very In teresting If one understands It, I have no desire to go, because I could not tell a fly from a foul. The fact Is, I am kept pretty busy now, and even in my youth I had not time to be properly educated along this line; but I envy the boys who know the game." A story Is told of how a constituent eame to visit him during his early congressional career. He sat before a plate of luscious boiled sweet corn, which reminded the good old farmer visitor of home. Ear after ear passed under the speaker's strong teeth, while his friend from the country looked on In amaxement. "Joe, would you tell me In confidence how much you pay for board?" "Four or five dollars a day," aald the future speaker, picking up another ear of corn, and putting aside an empty cob. "I have been running a boarding house out In Vermilion county," said the visitor, "and it costs me more for corn for my boarders than It did for my horses when I ran a livery stable with fifty head of horses. Joe, I'm glad you're boarding by the day, for corn Is mighty high now." Senator Gore, the blind statesman from Oklahoma. Is becoming an enthusiastic student of aeronautios through his fre quent visits to Fort Myer to "see" the Wrights navigate the air. The Senator makes up for the loss of his vision by his keen sense pf hearing, and through the devotion of his wife, who ac companies him and explains each move of the machine. Combining the both he obtains the same thrill of excitement that othera experience through first hand perceptions. Few men In Washington are affected by A DRtADFUL PAIN IN THE HEAD la not th only elgn of defective eye sight Nervousneb. loss of sleep, In digestion are some of the disagree able conaequent-ea of eye strain.

When alt Is concluded he Is Just as anx ious to applaud as any other "spectator." The Oklahoma senator also Is very fond of "watching" a bae ball gam.

The Department of Commerce and Labor will this year pay from M 000 to tlOOO to the fishermen of th lower Penobscot river salmon region, all on the guessing ability of a down Fast farmer fisherman of Buck port. Me., who Is known a the govern ment guesser. There's no other way. Every year the government buy from (00 to 1.S00 live Penobcot river, or more properly Atlantic, salmon for breeding purpose. The compen satlon is based upon the ruling market price, with M cents a fish additional a bonus for keeping the fish alive. Th salmon vary from 1 pounds to tS pounds In weight and th price Is from If cents a bound up, the Sverag being about X cents. There's no way to weigh a live salmon ana keep it alive. In the spring th fish, although they will fight for hour at th end of 100 yard of line, will suceumb to th slightest tap on the noe. They must be carefully dipped from the weir with a net lined with soft cotton flannel, and they are kept In cars also lined with flannel and covered with tarpaulins to keep out the sun. The fish must be kept In a calm and contented state, for If disturbed they will dash themselves to death In spite of all precautions. The temperature of the water In the car, which la nothing more than a superannuated dory kept half full of water and covered with a netting, must not vary many degrees from that of the riven and In the warmest weather It Is necessary to add a piece of Ice for th comfort of the captives. Weighing a live fish being Impossible, the next best plan Is to gues at the weight of th fish, and It Is here that the govern ment guesser is called In. He has caught and sold salmon for over 40 years and oan glance at the black back of a fish swim ming about In the depth of a car and guess within half a pound, If not exactly, the weight of the fish.
