Congress Still Has Time.
Tho member of congress who Insists
upon an early adjournment lnntPtnl of
a completion of pending legislation
will have more to face In the coming
election than the man who puts busi
ness above politics, for that Is the
answer to all this talk about not hav
ing time to finish what has been be
gun. It Is difficult to Justify the ad
journment policy even on the basis of
politics, and that Is the last basis
from which It should be considered.
The democrat or Insurant republican
who Imagines the country la not
deeply Interested in ' this remaining
legislation, we believe, is deceiving
himself, Just as he is deceiving him
self when he thinks he will be able to
explain away any filibustering from
now on.
Unless all signs are wrong the
people are in a serious mood. They
want action and they expect more from
congress than it has yet accomplished,
though, under the administration's in
fluence, it has wrought out a vast
amount of constructive legislation.
The thougbful, observing man can
scarcely be deceived by what has gone
on and what Is still going on at Wash

repu Dlicans snouin remeinuer mm
president Taft and his friends have

the ones who have obstructed business
and they are not the ones who are

This talk of the weather being too
warm for further activity will not
make a real effective campaign argu
ment. With a month and half before
summer begins there is ample time
for all that should be done If congress
really wants to do it. Those political
fences at home may b easier to repair
along about the middle of June or
first of July with faithful service than
they would be earlier than that with
unfaithful service.
Unbending His Dignity.
If Dr. Eliot is correctly quoted In
advocating suicide as the only al
ternative for the hopelessly enfeebled
man, the world that so long looked up
to his Judgment and honored his con
servatism as the president of Harvard
must feel a pang of disappointment; if
he Is not correctly quoted he should
lose no time in rushing to his own de
fense and saving himself from the
contumely that followed Dr. Osier to
Europe.
Euthanasia will do as a hobby for
some men, but not those who have en
joyed the distinction of -Dr. Eliot as
one of the moulders of national
thought and if he is to hold the esteem
he has gained through long years of
strong leadership he will have to
redeem himself from thla departure.
Such a philosophy might thrive In a
country where optimism did not
abound as it does In- America, but it
will never do well here. It is alien to
the conception of life in the United
States and could be indigenous only
In a country where despair instead of
hope was the ruling passion of the
people.
Mere the best thought of the day is
devoted to new ways, not of meeting
death, but of combatting disease. State
and national governments are engaged
with private enterprise In a warfare
against ailments heretofore regarded
as Incurable and are meeting with
astounding success. Men are looking
up, not down. They are following life,
not death. .They are gaining courage
In combat, not wasting it in submis
sion. Strength, not weakness, is
wanted today. Dante's picture of the
suicide corner of hell still looms be
fore men with ominous gloom. The
man with the key to health and life
will get a better hearing today than
the one with a somber, sickly tale of
how easy It is to give up and die.
The world has need of such men as
Dr. Eliot, but it needs them for their
virility of character, their nobility of
learning, their wisdom and their
sanity. Erudition suffers and dignity
is slain when men of his type stoop to
eccentricity. We have enough lesser
collegians in that class already.
Inspecting Tnlips.
The world has at last caught a new
glimpse of Theodore Roosevelt. In
the nstlonal gardens at Amsterdam
Inspecting tulips It catches this strenu
ous statesman, this audacious lion
hunter, In a new role. How does that
comport with your "benevolent des
pot," Colonel Watterson? Strange, too
that this scion of Holland ancestry
should find in Amsterdam occasion for
such esthetic pursuit. Holland, one
usually associates with something
robust, sturdy, Just as one associates
Theodore Roosevelt. Yet even this
anomaly, when brought under ' the
scrutiny ot its real interest, is not
disillusioning. Of course It is a far
cry from the African Jungles to these
quiet flower gardens, but no further
thaji the stretch of this man's versa
tility. Tulips have a history In Europe and
even Asia and they are valuable as
well as Interesting today. They were
introduced in the sixteenth century in
the low countries of Europe from Con
stantinople by way of Vienna and
Venice and there is a legend that an
Antwerp merchant once cooked the
bulbs, thinking they were onions and
ate them and that from this sprang
the habit of Persians and some
Asiatics to use them for food. But of
course, Colonel Roosevelt was far too
well-informed on tulips to endanger
himself to such an humiliating
blunder, even if he may not be re
garded as a connoisseur on the parent
genus llllaceae. Yet one may imagine
with what delicate accuracy he com
ments on tho detail of the WH aub-
Jectlng to the scrutiny of hi analytical
mind each Utile segment, and tamen,
explaining the Intricate composition of
the three-celled ovary with its sessile
stigma and how it ripens into a
leathery capsule with myriads of tiny
seeds.
Nor is it out of reason to supposn
that, whether the tulip ever becomes
the national flower of Holland, this
little incident will have a tremendous
Influence on the popularity of this
bulbous herb mong the Dntchmen. It
Is not as common there as along the
northern shores of the Mediterranean,
in the Levant, Armenia and jther
places In the vicinity of Asia Minor,
where It grows wild, but Hollanders
have been exerting quite an effort
toward its study and culture and If
the interest ex President Roosevelt has
shown in the plant Is to have the
American effect, It will simply bull the
tulip market In that country.
"Good Old Edward."
The west-end shopkeepers of Lon
don have ever found a friend In their
king, whom they have hailed as
"Good Old Edward" on many oc
casions when he acceded to their re
quests. They are now applauding him
because he lias set his foot down on
an election earlier than autumn in
deference to the business Interests.
Trade and industry never go in vain
to the crown in Great Britain and now
when they advise the king that a gen
eral election In June or July would
upset business conditions and begged
him to favor a later cwnpalgn they get
what they ask. Edward drops the
hint to Mr. Asquith and immediately
the die Is cast for a late election.
Strangely enough the visit of
Colonel Roosevelt has entered Into the
situation as a vital factor, though
Rooseveltism does not threaten to be
come a dominant Issue in the cam
paign as it did on the spur of a
moment in France. Shopkeepers,
however, have told the king that the
visit of the ex-president will probably
Increase the American colonization in
London 50 per cent and have a de
cidedly stimulating effect upon busi
ness. For these conditlonsto be dis
turbed by the approach of an election
would be fatal. And why should not
the king see the wisdom of waiting?
In the meantime the country will have
had more time for sober thought and
action and the voting may profit
thereby. ,
This activity on Edward's part Is a
rather stern rebuke to those reports
of his ill-health. The fact is, as Lon
don specials have it, he has never lost
his hold on events at Vestmln3ter,
though so long absent from London.
Reclamation Returns.
The actual test of the government
participation In the-wprk of reclaim
ing the waste regions of the west has
proven that the experiment a suc
cess. The settlers who tooK up iana
under the government-built ditches
are paying up promptly, a great ma
jority of them paying In advance. This
can mean but one thing, and that is
that the government will receive back
the money expended for construction
of dams and ditches to provide water
for Irrigating the dry lands. The peo
ple who have settled on these lands
are prospering, and the net result of
the project is the creation of new
homes and new sources of supply for
national citizenship and national
wealth.
As one of the pioneers in the move
ment for government control of irriga
tion projects, The Bee takes pardona
ble satisfaction in the outcome of the
policy it has advocated for years.
Governor Deneen has taken about
the only course open to him in the
case of Senator Lorimer against the
regularity of whose election such dam
aging charges are made by the Chicago
Tribune by having it submitted to a
grand Jury. The charges, though de
nied by the senator, were of such a
character as to demand investigation,
and Lorimer should be one of the first
to aid In the Inquiry if he Ib innocent
of any wrong-doing, as he professes
to be.
.Mr. Bryan is getting some very
pointed responses from the legislators
in reply to his query as to whether
they will meet In extraordinary session
and adopt the program of the'peer
less leader" rejected while they were
In regular aFsembly. He will have to
como stronger with his paramount
claims if he is going to start much in
Nebraska.
The 2-cent fare law is now fighting
for Its life in the federal courts. With
an increased number of railroads pay
ing increased dividends on increased
capitalization, it ought to be a little
difficult for the corporations to show
the court that they are losing money
cn the basis of the rates being
charged.
It now appears that those Omaha
experts who were taken to Milwaukee
may lose their snaps because they
were employed in violation of the
city's charter. That is one of the pe
culiarities of the socialist. He has a
most uncomfortable regard for the law
when it affects the other fellow.
With potatoes selling at 10 cents a
bushel in western Nebraska and 80
cents in Omaha, the householder won
ders Just where the difference in price
goes. An increase of 700 per cent in
a Journey of 300 miles is surely big
enough to attract attention.
Still, It Is a little late to discover
that Carroll G. Pearse's appointment

schools wag Invalid. Mayor Seldel
may see to It, however, that the so
cialist administration makes no such
egregious error.
If the Tensus man did not get you

It may be noted, however, that Mr.
Hammerstein did not quit the stage
business under the oppression of high
priced song birds until he cashed in
their songs at $2,000,000 net.
Mr. Bryan's disapproval of Governor
Hughes for the supreme court cer
tainly cannot be taken as indicating
his preference for the New Yorker as
an opponent next time.

the gentleman who made Mr. Bryan pos

The member of the Infantry equipment
board, which a In clmi for so long at
Rock Island for tho purpose of reducing
the burden of the foot soldier, arrived In
Washington cn Tuesday to be present at
a service demonstration of the devices
which have been recommended for adop

Infantry, Equipment for three officers
and 10S men were shipped from Hock Is
land and these are being tried at the Wash

with the men fully accoutered. The pro
gram Include pitching camp, breaking
camp, starting out for a march with the
personal equipment In position, and with
the wagons loaded with the equipment
which I to he carried In that wav. In
cidentally, there will he tested also the
board' Idea of an arrangement for th"
haversack ration. The demonstration 1
for the benefit of officers of the general
taff. the chiefs of bureaus and others who
are Interested.
The varied comments of army officer
who tried out at Fort Myer. Washington
Barrack and Fort Leavenworth the provi
sions of the tentative general order de
scribing Ihe army physical test have been
referred to the general staff of the War
department. Major Genet al Bell before he
completed his tour of duty as chief of
staff went over the reports, but found them
too voluminous and conflicting In contents
to settle the -questions raised. It is possi
ble that nothing will be done until General
Wood come to Washington a chief of
staff. There ia sufficient material evi-'
dently to keep the general staff busy find
ing out Just what Is meant by the draft
of the general. order and what Is the best
system. Among the reports filed I one
from the surgeon general of the army, who
points out what he regard a some of the
defects of the order. Among those excused
from the physical test are army engineers
and a few medical officers on special duty.
General Torney believe these exceptions
might be extended to Include members of
the permanent personal or the special staff
corps, whose experience In the discharge
of their duties should count for more than
the ability to meet exacting physical re
quirements. Thaj comptroller has before him a ques
tion of much importance to some twenty
five or thirty retired officers who are on
active duty. It relates to the pay and al
lowances of the officer who were ad
vanced on the retired list In rank one grade
under the act of April 23, 1WH. on account
of civil war service. They were not commis
sioned as of the advanced rank, It will be
remembered, but they have, when' detailed
upon active duty, received the pay and
allowances of the higher grade. The comp
troller I now determining whether such
officers have been or may be entitled to
this Increased pay. The attorney general
in 1904 In an opinion dated July 11 of that
year held In effect that a retired officer
In this clas doe not hold an office in the
army as of the Increaaed rank. The comp
troller will, parly In the coming week, in all
tirobablllty, decide as to whether these
retired officers, so advanced, when assigned
to active duty shall receive the full pay
and allowances of the rank they hold on
the retired list, or whether their active
pay shall be that of the office they hold in
the service. An effort was made during the
sixtieth 'congress, and Is the subject of
pending legislation, to have this matter'
adjusted, so as to provide for the Issuance
of commissions. This would have secured
the officers In their tights to the pay of
the rank To which they were advanced.
The secretary of war has d'fpproved
the recommendation of the surgeon general
of the army that all recruits receive the
antl-typhold vaccination upon enlistment.
General Torney presented this proposition
to the War department a week or two ago
with the Idea of gradually Immunizing the
army against typhoid. If the recruits were
vaccinated as they came into the service,
it would not be long before the vast ma
jority of the enlisted force had received
this form of protection against this par
ticular disease. At present vaccination has
been administered to volunteers among the
officers and enlisted men and It Is esti
mated by the medical authorities that
about 6.000 have received the treatment. It
was expected that this voluntary vaccina
tion would not do much In the way of pro
tection against typhoid, but It would have
its value In showing the harmlcssness of
the procedure and this has been sufficiently
demonstrated. It has not been considered
advisable to establish compulsory vaccina
tion and it Is now held by the secretary of
war that until this Is done In the army It
Is not desirable to require recruits to sub
ject themselves to the antl-typhold vaccina
tion. The difficulties which have beset Chap
lain J. A. Dallam, Twelfth Infantry, appear
to be adjusted, after considerable attention
to his case at Manila and In Washington.
The situation has- been one which was
more or less embarrassing to the nil itary
authorities, as Is any official determina
tion of a question Involving religious be
lief. Chaplain Dallam, who was appointed
to the army from the Episcopal church in
1904, Is about to be promoted to the grade
of captain in his corps. He has been en
tertaining very liberal views, which were
considered as separating him from the de
nomination to which he was once accred
ited. The officers In Manila who reported
on the circumstances were emphatic In
their comments that "something" should
be done, but It has not appeared very
clearly to the military authorities in
Washington Just what could be done. There
was a chance, however, that when Chap-
I lain Dallam came up for promotion to the
grade of captain he would be found
qualified and this, it Is understood, was In
timated to him, unless he should declare
himself as connected with some denom
ination. This step has now been taken by
the chaplain, who haa become an ordained
minister of the Unitarian church. In this
connection he made a very candid and
straightforward statement of his religious
beliefs In a way to impress the military
authorities. This may not dispose of the
question in the way which Is satlsfaotory
to those who believe that an army chap
lain should never abandon his cre'd, but
there aeema to be no question of Chaplain
Dallam's efficiency or of his usefulness as
an army chaplain.

Pretexts for a Kqnrrir,
Philadelphia Record.
The railroads are determined to mark up
their freight rates, but some of them have
sufficient regard for public opinion to pro
pose to submit the increased schedules to
the Interstate Commerce commission for
Its approval In advance. Of course the
ground for the advance is the belief thai
shippers are prosperous enough to submit
to It; that the present rates are not "all
that the traffic will bear." But during the
depression the railroads generally kept
their rates pretty well no. As soon n
business began (o Improve, and before It
really got on Its feet, the railroads began
increasing their rates, sometimes directly
and sometimes Indirectly by changes of
classification. The pretext on which they
claim a right to increase their charges Is
the higher wages they are paying. But the
shippers have also had to pay Increased
wages, and the growing net profits of t he
railroads do not give much support to the
plea of necessity made by them.

I am a most unlucky man
In matters of the heart,
From youth Us been my wish to play
A matrimonial part;
1 must have popped a hundred times
And In a Hundred ways,
But all in vain, a bachelor
1 11 have to end my days.
I asked Miss I'age lo bo my bride,
She turned me down, alas!
Miss Wicks made light of my request,
Miss llay said: "(Jo to grass!"
Miss Bird 1 begged to fly with inc,
But she could give no hope;
Miss Mellen listened to my pica.
But Baid; "1 cantelope,"
Miss Soule refused her heart to give,
Miss King my queen to be.
In vain 1 asked Ailss Frost to melt.
Miss Leach to stick to nie.
Miss Pond threw water on my hopes,
Miss Foote refused her hand.
I tried to pop to fair Mis Beach,
But did not have the sand.
Miss Pott I asked to cook mv beans,
Miss Lodge with me to dwell.
1 told Miss I.aild I'd be her man,
I tried to ring Miss Bell;
And thus from maid to maid 1 went
Proposing, but In vain
Alas! a lonely bachelor
1 in destined to remain. '
a
My first love 1 remember well,
Miss Shlpp, her 1 adored;
But when 1 asked to be her mate
She threw me overboard.
Ml.ss Cone was next, 1 told her that
For her 1 pined, but she
Said If a husband she desired
She'd never pitch on me.
