The lesson which they seek to draw in that the only way to rebuke th courts when democratic aw-makera seek to nullify the consti tution Is to put democratic Judges on the bench who will set the constitution side whenever any law with the dem ocratic trademark comes up- before them. But courts only pass on cases duly Instituted by lawyers on behalf of liti gants. The laws stand until someone attacks them., and if they are nullified when they collide with the. constitution the lawyers may, at least, claim to share the credit. If the democratic organs lament the loss of boasted dem ocratic laws, 'who then are the nulli fies? The deposit guaranty law nullified on suit brought by Judge William V. Allen, Nebraska's only populist senator. The so-called nonpartisan Judiciary aw nullified on suit Drougnt Dy Charles O. Whedon, whose insurgency the democratic papers have' , been loudly applauding. The corporation tax law in course of nullification on suit brought by John . Sullivan, now running . for supreme Judge on the democratic ticket. If- lawyers who find fflror' with the democratic organs have -a.hand in all this nullification, how will putting a new set of democratic auUlfiers on the bench change matters? r: It Is not nulllflers, or anti-nullifiers. we want on the bench, bu.t Judges who look to the law, and to the evidence, nd fear not to uphold the; constitution whenever It is attacked, , whether by democratic law-makers tit republican law-makers. The Tint Recruit. ' Several weeks ago when 'he pub lished his proposed tariff platform in the Commoner Ml. Bryan invited dem ocratic congressmen and democratic candidates for congress, to respond with brief letters giving their opinion of it. ' The first response is now at hand, and strangely enougb it Is signed, not by a democratic congressman from Ne braska nor by a democratic congress man from Texas, but by one of the Tammany democrats of New Yotk.- am with you in your fight for free raw material and true tariff reform," writes Congressman. Sulzerl "It Is the best unifying principle the democrats have today." Mr. Sulzer represents a district in the heart of Tammany terri tory with the official headquarters of the Tammany boss facing the edge of his bailiwick. If Mr. Sulzer speaks for Tammany, Tammany is with Mr. Bryan in his fight for free jaw materl 1, and regards this as the best unifying prln chile the democrats have today. If Tammany is with Mr. Bryan, of'cours? Mr. Brviiu will bo expected to side, with Tammany, whose unifying prin ciple is the division oT the spolls,?.;i That Tanimany is the first recruit to Mr. Bryan's army of reform cannot fall to be a drawing card, Mrs. Taft'g Cherry Treea. The fellowship of every woman will go out to the First Lady of the Land with a sense of the joyous opportunity attending the gift to Mrs. Taft of 2,000 cherry trees from the emperor ' of Japan. To the feminine heart It is given to understand the happiness of fussing out of doors with flowers and bulbs and Bhrubs, and the idea of hav lng at one's disposal such a glorious array of saplings should , inspire .In gardening instinct the Country, over. Among the gentler sex the ;-lever Japanese have steadfastly cultivated the aesthetic side ao that the average woman has come to think of the Land of the Rising Sun as a bower of wis terla and cherry blossoms. Wisteria is our own already In abundance,' It is a familiar deooratlon even in cities ot limited yard-space; but tag cultivation of the cherry at large lias languished This should not be, foras the root of the cherry tree is the foundation of one of our best national, traditions, and the mikado's gift may serve to Ilium inate anew the status ot truth arising from that foundation, and also to re vive pride in the restoration of this particular branch of ,hortcul'ture. '., Deep' and significant are the work ings of the oriental ra Indian 4., U may be that the mikado underneath his gracious gift Is spurring our national pride in the direct truthfulness of the original cherry tree hero Public sentl mont, as voiced in pulpit, press and even in diplomacy, has been more biased and suspicious than It has teen veracious, concornlng affair between the United States and, Japan, and, i is possible that the Toklo philosopher is delicately dinting that we rtturn to first principles.. But there Is another phase Al fathers know, and some mothers, that the brittlehi branch that grows from trunk is the branch of the cherry tree Broken limbs, and sometimes broken necks, are the first fruits of this tree after its alluring bloom appears. Can the sinister design be to spread cherry trees all over this broad land for the crippling of a generation, so that the flower of our youth falls before the Dover of th Island onipire, whose cunning would elze the opportunity for invasion and conquest? In the con templation of this thought, u behooves svery mother s son t adopt for hi motto, "Take the fruit from the lower limbs, but don't go climbing higher." It is pleasant to reflect concerning the prospect of those 2.0n trees In full fruition, with the song of ""heer up. Cherries are Ripe, Cherries Ripe," rddlrg a touch of innate to the .romance jof the American summer night. Th peaoful picture of the White House porch parties with dft and dainty fln rg stemming and pitting the lufclotts fruit for the pastry of baking day, is augmented by the mellow serenade of the Jeemses River Ole club gathered on the lawn In the moonlight voicing the Immortal words: Cnn she make a cherry pie, Billy boy, Billy boy, Can she make a cherry pie, charm ing Billy? And since shp ran mnke a .herry pie, and since there Is at the head of the peiconal as well as the official household one who can appreciate ft cherry pie to the full, the ultimate Joy ot the mikado's gift may be fully realised. Infinite are the possibilities cf the cherry tree episode. American bards have rung all the changes of glory for t im who plants a tree, and the planter f 2,000 cherry trees where none grew before is entitled to appropriate all of these poetic tribute. Betting by the Way. No one will begrudge the temporary retirement of the president into the secluded peace of his brother's Texas ranch. Multifarious have been the in terests which have received the kindly and fostering approval of the chief executive in his Journey of progressive activity. He has earned his few days of rest. And now in the whirl of life's occupations comes a pause which must appeal to both Mr. Taft, the man and Mr. Taft, the president. For him, as for kuy strong man in a whirl of affbirs, this is a welcome respite. No one is more ready to pursue activ ities, no one more efficient In swing ing his volume of work, no one more tireless in the establishment of close personal relations with the people, no one more vigorous in expounding national policies or more determined in fulfilling them. But to, the most prodigious workman in the public causo comes a moment when relaxa tion and quiet are both welcome and in his pause by the wayside Mr. Taft has the best wishes of the people for an enjoyable, beneficial rest. What reflections may not come to a man of Mr. Taft's mental vision in the vast open spaces of a Texan ranch? Within that great state the seetbings of the Bryan-Bailey Imbroglio have not yet subsided, but such an up heaval In the centers of population leaves the great ranches quite cool. Far removed from the strifes of men and affairs, the president may relax and drink In the beauty of the glorious autumnal nights and the golden glory of the wonderful harvest days, raedl tate on the bounteousness of nature and the boundless opportunities of the nation. It is his season of repose and recuperation, which, when ended, will have stimulated his vigor for the re mainder of his Jonrney among a wel coming people. Time for Sanity. It is announced that the president of the national organization, in whose .name the, street car strike in Omaha was declared, la about to visit the city to look into present strike conditions with a view to taking such action as they may warrant. Nothing is to be gained by the strik ing car men trying to fool themselves, or to involve other labor organizations, In a battle already lost. When we say that, according to all external ovl dence, the battle has been lost to the strikers we do not mean that there have been no compensating benefits But these benefits, which consist of the redress ot certain grievances and promise of higher pay, and an aroused public sentiment In favor of some sort of arbitration legislation to prevent recurrence, are already achieved and will hardly be materially changed by the continuation of a nominal strike. If the head of the street car men's organization declines to be misled by over-zealous associates and ascertains the real situation he will advise for mal declaration that the strike Is off, expressing thanks to those who helped the cause with sympathy or money, and urge strikers and strike sym pathlzers to discourage ' further vlo lence to street railway property or In terf erence with street railway em ployes, and lay down the rule to build up without tearing down. Fate of Historic ftelici. Man'g proneness to seize upon the skeletons of departed glory in an effort to utilize the structure from whk;h the high lights have faded is illustrated by the breaking up of the old British man-of-war Wellington to the purposes of an American millionaire. The huge teak timbers, reconstructs! Into a spacious dining hall, will emphasize the Irony of fate. Once resisting alike the fury cf Ncptuue and the onsl tught of battle, now they will serve as raft ers, ringing with a cheer on land such as they never "knew on sett. "Rule, Britannia" echoes will be disturbed by "The Star-Spangled Banner," and toasts will resound to democracy's cause amid the bones ot a gallant war ship once dedicated In the name of the fighting duke who was first of all for the crown- and to the last opposed to popular government. The conflict of sentiment with the actualities of life is never ending, but uch an incident as this serves as a reminder of the once-threatened dis membering of our own 01d Iron sides." when sentiment' for once pre vailed over the assaults of cold practi cality. Henry George's body lies a-molder-ing In the grave, but his spirit is marching on In the strange compaign la New York. The way In which niusiy issues and forgotten leaders are being brought forth in the conflict makes it look as though Tammany were being forced to tight all Its old battles over again. Resurrection of Croker deals, combinations of former enemies and a concert of applause for Hearst from old-time conservatives mark the three-cornered race for mayor as one of the niost kaleidoscopic contests In modern politics. Dr. Wiley seems derelict In not get ting after the New York theater that Is feeding its patrons on what the critics style badly "adulterated Dick ens." Shakespeare has been butch ered and put in cold storage, and we have stood for it; but when they mix bran mash and benzoate hash with our Pickwickian pabulum It Is time for the pure food executioner to swing the acts. Will a supreme cuurt frighten Ig Dunn Into making an apology for charges which he believes to be true? Will they make him "crook the pregnant hinges ot the knee" In the presence of a tribunal upon which sits one Judirn whom h believes to be as Ignorant of the law as a one-eared donkey? Not much! Kdgar Howard's Co lumbus Telegrarn. It is so easy to ask questions, but it is up to Ig Dunn to answer. We chall see what we shall see. Now that Its mountain reserves have been pretty well scorched, New York state Is seriously policing Its remain ing forests to save them from future fires. This genuine effort will also serve to prevent further newspaper roasts of the state forestry superin tendents. Judging from the New England newspapers, old General Apathy is the most conspicuous figure In the Massa chusetts campaign. He Is a poor vote getter, but when he prevails the old- timers generally turn out and roll up the habitual majority. The democratic state platform still calls for an extra session of the ?egis lature in order that Nebraska mny be first to go on record In favor of the Income tax amendment to the federal constitution. Is a platform .binding? Professor Fay of Tnfts, who now reports having scaled Mt. McKiniey and found Cook's records there, Is a courageous man to offer ip a hitherto unblemished reputation for veracity to the mercy of the conoclasts. A I'aefal Precaution. New York Post.

Undoubtedly the greutest obstacle to popular approval of a system of pension ing superannuated federal employes Is, the fear that It will be ahussd, the pension list unwarrantably extended and admission to the list made easy.' The one method of avoiding such abuses will bo for congress to put beyond Its power the authority to make employes eligible for pensions, pre cisely as It lias put beyond Its power the right to name the larKe majority of federal employes. The pension fund should be raised by assessments levied on the salaries of employes, and after the law Is adopted authority to make regulations affecting eligibility should be ested solely In the Civil hervlce commission. A W1LU UOUMH I'll AMU. Mtrlviiia (o Harmonise' Democratic I onarcasnirn. ' Brooklyn EuKle. In the speech tie recently delivered at El Paso, Mr. Bryan remurked: "If we are going to do anything In the next c mgress, wo must get together; must elect congressmen who can SKree a to what ought to be done." This is Solnnontc In its wisdom. Audi there aro-situations in which such u pro gram Is sure of Interpretation. In the case of a sinking ship, for instance, there Is always a response te what Is called the first Instinct, and no difference of opinion as to the advisability of securing a place In the first boat lowered. It Is different with coiigreskmen. Natur ally, each one wants to preserve himself, but what would keep one afloat would sink tho other. If Mr. Bryan does not know It to be Impossible to "elect congressmen who will agiee as to what ought to be dune," his course of study should be changed. He asks: "If we cannot agree upon a policy before election, how can w expect our represen tatles to agree upon It afterward?" Another self-evident proposition, but equally unserviceable. Mr. Bryan's mission must necessarily miscarry. He can neither get nor keep together the democrats who will be elected to congress next year. There will bo about as many differences of opinion among them as there are represen tatives, and the principal proclivity win be to agree to disagree. , Only those w ho chase wild geese l make up tin ir mimls to the contrary. Around New York Blpples oa th Currant of Zlf a Sees la the Oreat Amerloaa Metropolis from Pay to Day. In an address delivered In Philadelphia recently, Dr. Thomas B. Darlington, com missioner of health In New York City, spoke of the wonderful results aocom pllshed in the metropolis by scientific sanitation. "I remember well," he said, "when In tho tenement districts ' a street was cleaned but once a year, and then with a shovel and a hoe. Thirty years ago the death rate In New York was thirty-six persona out of every 1.000. Just before coming to Philadelphia I received th week's report, which showed that the average for that period was but 13.60 out of l.ono. This Is due to scientific research reduced to a practical basis." "Please do not put any more flowers on my grave," was the request written on a piece of cardboard which Mrs. McDonald of Brooklyn found on the grave In Mount Olivet cemetery In Middle Village, Queens borough, on which for fifteen years she had been placing flower weekly. She sup posed It to be the grave of a relative, but when she carried the card to the superin tendent of the cemetery a consultation of the record showed that she was In error. The grave of her relative Is some dis tance away and the one that has been re ceiving her tributes belonged to a person who had It prepared yenrs ago against the day it would be needed. New Yolk's champion long distance com muter Is president of a big corporation In the city. He lives In an up-state town, which Is almost four hours distant from New York. Every morning he gets the 7 o'clock express for New York. He takes his breakfast on board and read the morn ing papers. At 9 o'clock his stenographer gets on the train, and comes to his seat In th Pullman, which he reserves by the year. She lives at a town only two hours awey from New York. He dictates to her from 8 to 11 o'clock, and then they reach the office. There ho goes through the usual routine while the stenographer tran scribes her notes. At 3 o'clock they leave the office again, and, from S o'clock to & he dictates to her. She Rets off at her village and wrltss and malls the dictated letters that night unless they are of such character that her employer wishes to look them over and sign them himself. At o'clock he sits down to a good dlnr.er In the dining car, which has been ordered for him by his wife the day be fore. The car superintendent has pur chased any articles he may not hav In the larder during the day In New York. At 7 o'clock he steps down from the train, having dined well, and has the entire even ing to dispose of at home as he wishes. And you couldn't coax him to live in New York and save that eight hours a day of travel. He declares he actually saves time, because he isn't bothered by fool friends. Tald the teacher of a public school In the Bronx: "My children have discovered, or Invented, a new game, which is at time more exciting than entertaining. ''A stake Is set up In the center of the playground, and become the north pole. One boy personates Peary,- and another Cook. The other little fellow are Eskimos and dogs. "At a given ' signal the two boys race for the pole. The one who reaches It. first yells "I've found It!" Then the other ons Jumps upon him, and there is a free fight: the Eskimos and dogs usually taking part before it is concluded. "I feel responsible for the disorder that ensues, as I have told them the story several times, but have been very careful not to take sides. I hardly expected, how ever, that their application of it to the playgrounds would be so realistic." Whirling a lasso In genuine cowboy fash Ion over his head to get momentum for the distance to be covered and by the aid of the Illumination of the river, G. L. Leray, a 'driver of one of the ambulances of Bellevue hospital, early today cast the line over the head of a drowning man far out In the East river at the foot of East Twenty-eighth street, and, drawing him ashore, saved his life. John Robertson, ' 62 years old, of Kansas City, Mo., the rescued man, was carried to Bellevue hospital. Robertson walked into the river while In a dale from the noise of the city and the glare of the lights. A stranger in the city, he declared ha did not know where he was going and that the many lights had blurred his sight. His cries for help attracted Charles Duffey, a watchman on the old States . Island ferrvboat Bouthfleld. now used by Bellevue as a tuberculosis ward. Duffey, who weights 300 pounds, called Leray and Charles MeCullough, both ambulance drivers. He pointed out the struggling man fighting for his life In the river with the tide carrying him further away every minute. Prom the stable Leray procured a long rope, which he formed into a lasso. He took good aim and threw the rope. It landed over Robertson's head. He palled and it tightened around the drowning man's shoulders. Robertson was then pulled ashore by Leray and MeCul lough. Churles W. Morse, the New York expo nent of high finance whose conviction and sentence was affirmed by the federal court of appeals tjie other day, is said to have paid off all 'his debts with the exception of tWO.OOO. When Morse got out of the Tombs, June 17 last, his uffuirs were In what his own lawyers admitted to be a hopeless tangle. They confessed they saw no chance of saving anything from the wreck and frankly told Morse so. At that time Morse was confronted with a clam orous army of creditors to whom he owed 14.600,000. At the beginning of the panic, in October, 1907, he was worth lJ2,0tl0,0O0. The depreciation In security values that follo-ved cut this fortune Into It's than half, for the Morse securltli-s were about the hardest hit of all. Mr. Moiso didn't say so, but he is determined to recover the ownership of his home at ra Fifth avenue. He is still living there under an agreement with E. J. Berwind, who had the mortgages foreclosed. After Mis. Morse sold her Jewels and other prized possessions she discharged the ex pensive staff of servants and got along wltii one mutd. "There is one thing," said Mr. Morse, "that has almost compensated me for all I have gone through. For a time I thought my friends hud deserted me. but they have helped me in .every isishible way. When a man really needs a friend and scores of friends appear it ( makes him feel good. People I never heard of before have written me the kind liest of letters, and 1 believe today I have more friends than I ever had In my life." r'asne Thrast I iaa Tkria, Ht. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Schuyler Free Lance: The "nonpar tisan" talk put up by the democrats in this campaign is very flat. They are "nonpartisan" when they want to get re publican votes, but otherwise the term Is fornotten. I low ells Journal tdem.): We are much pleased to see the Commoner come out square-toed for the three democratic nomi nees for the supreme bench. It Is a good example to the democratic press of the state. Judge Dean Is as much entitled to the support of his party associates as Is either Sullivan or Good. We hope every Colfax county democrat will remain true to Judge Dean. Plattsmouth News-Herald: The "nonpar tisan" cry which Is being sent up by the democratic editors of the state looks pretty good to a fellow If he didn't have a vivid picture In his mind of that last democratic legislature where dozens of bills were In troduced for no other reason than tr change the laws so that a democratic governor could appoint democrats to the offices which would be made vacant If such bills were mude Into laws. Kearney Democrat: For the edification of the esteemed Umaha Bee,' the Demo crat desires to Inform It that the Com moner does not have a thing in the world to do with what the Democrat thinks and believes. Mr. Bryan may, and probably does, do Just as he pleases ubout making platforms and standing upon them, and tho Democrat does those things which It believes to be right and for the best In terests of our supreme court and the pub lic, whether It suits the Commoner or The Bee, both of which would be nearer right If they would follow the Democrat a lit tle closer and cease to play politic Into every walk of life. Seward Blade: When thex constitution ality of the fake "nonpartisan" Judiciary act was attacked In the courts the demo cratic politician threw a fit and prated about the sacred character of all the act of the democratic legislature a if they were holy and beyond the review f any earthly tribunal. The tune changed when Judge J. J. Sullivan, their own democratic nominee for the supreme pencil, tackled the corporation tax law by the same Im maculate bunch of democratic legislators and proceeded to show that It was of no force and effect. Tho howl about the unimpeachable character of democratic legislation suddenly ceased. A "mighty sight" depends on whose ox I gored. PERSONAL NOTES.
