Taft and Roosevelt.
In spite ot th p-rslotent efforts of
trouble breeders who have been bend
ing every effort to esuange the presi
dent and fcrmt-r presfdent, the state
ments given out from Beverly and
Oyster Bay must dispel all doubt as to
the substantial harmony of purpose of
Mr. Taft and Colonel Roosevelt.
The dlensIon within, the repub
lican party in New York3 over whicn
the two national leaders were said to
be in disagreement was merely one
phase of the flfcht between Governor
ilugheg and tha .New York state or
ganization ore primary legislation.
The primary elation bill recom
mended by Governor Hughes, as Is
well known, had been repeatedly
blocked, and the enlistment of Colonel
Roosevelt's Influence on the governor'sj
side is, what led. to. his rejection for
the position of temporary chairman of
the New York state convention.
President Taft's letter leaves no
doubt where his sympathies have been
and are In this controversy. It proves
that while he would have preferred
to avoid what has actually occurred,
o not only bad no hand in bringing
it about, but had taken positive steps
to persnade tho - leaders to get to
gether. The president goes even
further when he expresses the opinion
that. the selection ,of Vice President
Sherman for temporary presiding offl
over Colonel Roosevelt is a mlBtake
that ought to be corrected.
So far as Colonel Roosevelt is con
cerned Jt goes without saying that he
wilt find a way to take cafe of hlrnself
nt,he politics of his own state, and
that his repulse In the first skirmish
la no- safe indication of what the final
outcome will be. ' This much, how
ever, Is reasonably certain -that in
New,. York state politics, and probably
throughout the country, President
Taft and" Colonel Roosevelt, so far as
they' take part at all, will be found
working together and aiming in the
same direction.-
Aigimilation of Korea.
Nearly every war makes changes In
our geographical charts, although the
changes are not all consummated at
once. The assimilation ot Korea by
Japan is an outgrowth ot the war with
Russia in which control of Korea was
one of the fruits of victory awarded
to Japan.
For three years the Japanese gov'
ernment has been maintaining a semi
protectorate over Korea ostensibly for
the purpose of ascertaining by ex
periment what sort of contiol would
bo the most suitable to the people ot
the Hermit Kingdom. But it has taken
only three years to reach the point
where the Japanese feel sufficient
self-assurance to blot Korea off the
map as a separate country ' and to
substitute Japanese authority abso
lutely for the authority exercised con
ditionally by . the emperor of Korea
and bis higher officials.
ThV assimilation of Korea by Japan
will be a change chiefly of form ot
government rather than in the seat
of power, because the Koreans long
ago lost their Independence of action
and have been subject to Japan since
even before the signing pf the Ports
mouth treaty. According to best ob
servers Korean Independence was fore
doomed no matter what the outcome
of the war . because, had Japan lost.
Russia would without question have
stepped In and seized Korea as Its
price.
So far as the United States is con
cerned It Is not called on to Interpose
any more than any other foreign
power with territorial interests in the
far east, and In all probability It will
find it easier to hold Japan account
able for Korea than to have dealt with
an irresponsible Korean government
without ability to discbarge interna
tional obligations.
Measuring; the Pace.
The Introductory editorial In the
current World's Work marshals and
contrasts some Interesting taets help
ful in measuring the pace at which the
world has been moving. What is at
tempted ia a glimpse here and there
back: ten years, which most people re
gard as a comparatively short period
of.timcC '
Ten year ago, we are reminded, we
had open war of railroad rates and
free passes on the railroads. The in
terstate commerce law was practically
a dead letter and the commission was
a harmless bureau of statistics. The
real regulation of railroads, to say
nothing of other large corporations
was regarded as a mere threat of lm
.practicable radicalism.
Ten years ago, we are again re
minded, we were at war In the Philip
plnea and Agulnaldo'i rebellion had
provoked a sympathetic rebellion lu
and about Boston, while many persons
regarded Imperialism as the over
shadowing great question of our fu
ture. President McKlnley was pic
tured In cartoons as an emperor. The
democratic party was what Mr. Bryan
commanded it to be.
Tea years ago, we are still further
reminded, the Panama canal, the great
reclamation work in the west, the
policy of conservation, the change of
the Dingiey tariff, the Japanese-Russian
war, were all In the future, and
bow long ago 1900 was may be gauged
by recalling that Queen Victoria was
still on the throne of England.
The march of events in ten years
makes volumes of history, although,
seldom realized or fully appreciated
by those who participate in them or
view them as spectators. If we will
at any time take a casual inventory of
the last ten years, we will agree with
the conclusion that there is enough
there "to civ a cheerful and hopeful
turn to the thoughts of every man who
looks backward as welt as forward."
The Do; and the Shadow.
It happened once that a dog hud got a
piece of meat and waa carrying It home
In hla mouth to eat It In peace. Now on
his wav home he had to croea a plank
lylnn acroHB a running brook. Aa he
croased, he looked down and saw hla own
ahadow reflected In the water beneath.
Thinking It waa another dog with an
other piece of meat. p made up hla mind
to have that also So he made a anap at
the ahadow In the water, but aa he opened
his mouth the piece of meat fell out,
dropped Into the water and waa never
seen more.

stance by grasping at the anaaow.
Aesop's Fables.
The philosophy of good old Aesop
has not become so antiquated that it
does not find modern application even
in these twentieth century days.
It happened once that Nebraska had
democratic governor who was as
sured of renominatlon and was wait-
ng, only for the primary to be held to
be again proclaimed by the democrats
to be their standard bearer. As he
looked around he saw a small group of
populists whose nomination he cov
eted, and thinking he might as well
have two nominations as one, he took
a mighty oath that be was also a popu
list as well as a democrat, although he
was careful to save the second tiling
fee and keep It In his own pocket. By
having his name put on the populist
ballot in addition to the democratic
ballot, some of his friends voted for
him as a populist thereby subtracting
their votes from those cast for him
as a democrat, and lo and behold,
when the figures were footed . up, It
was found that he bad missed the dem
ocratic nominaton by his greed to get
the populist nomk.fltion.
Moral: Beware lest you lose tha
substance by grasping at the shadow.
Good Police Work.
The annual report of the chief , of
police of Omaha for last year bas Just
come from the press with comparative
statistical tables that furnish material
for Judging of the efficiency of the po
lice department.
In numbers the department for the
year 1909 shows a decrease in patrol
men of thirty-six men below the maxi
mum of 1908, rendered necessary be
cause of short appropriation, and yet
the total number of arrests was 9,916,
or only 600 less than in 1908. Of
property reported stolen valued at
$41,964 recovery was made to the ex
tent of $31,034, or more than three
fourths of it, which is a pretty good
sign of activity on the part of the de
tective, service.
.Most convincing, however, of. all is
the list of fugitives from Justice ar
rested in Omaha and turned over to
the police authorities of other cities
dyring the year. It takes police ex
perience' and resourcefulness' to spot
professional crooks that have pulled
off Jobs elsewhere and who, to all out
ward appearances, are merely law
ablding strangers visiting; among ns.
It has gotten to be a common habit to
talk about the police "harboring"
criminals and "protecting" them from
being called to account, but the arrest
in Omaha in one year of 118 fugitives
from Justice wanted elsewhere, many
of them hardened criminals with the
penitentiary staring them In the face,
to avoid which they would gladly pay
almost any price, is complete refuta
tion.
Our police may fall short on a lot
of little things, but on the big things
the suppression of serious crime
and the apprehension of professional
criminals the Omaha police foroe will
Invite comparison with that of any
other city In anywhere near the same
class as ours. -

that in Ireland it would be Impossible for

One week from today horse racing, aa It
has been Conducted, will go out of buslnees
In New York state. On September 1, the
law prohibiting oral betting and making the
directors of Jockey clubs responsible for
what occurs within their enclosures, goes
Into effect.' Other forms of race betting are
prohibited by lawa previously enacted.
Managers of the tracks say the "Sport of
Kings" would net draw paying crowds with
out the betting privilege, and none of them
rare to take the risk of pulling off a rac
ing; card under a law making them respon
sible for the wagering proclivities of a
crowd. Hence the shutters are to be put
up, the grandstands dismantled, and lota
are to be staked out on the tracks and
stable ground. "It has been denied," com
ments the New York Globe, "that the rac
ing establishment Is a gambling machine.
We have bee-. told that thoroughbreds
were put on the tracks because of the love
of the sport. We have also been told that
men maintained expensive studs because of
an altruistic desire to better the breed of
horses. But alack and alas! these fine pre
tenses are now pretty well rubbed off.
Men do not go to see or to be out In the
open air. but to bet. There Is not the love
of. the speeding ponies that has been pro
claimed. Thousands will crowd a base ball
park with no lure except the zeat of the
sight, but rot so with racing. The bettlna
odds have been Its prop, and It cannot sus
tain itself unless it has an opportunity to
absorb the earnings of the fooltsh. If this
Is the case. If there Is no real liking for
racing aa such, it Is time for it to go."
On complaint of reputable Jewelers, the
commissioner of weights and measures of
New York Is taking steps to prevent the
fraudulent marking of gold and silver art
icles of trade. It has been found that the
word "sterling" Is overworked. It has also
been discovered that "fourteen-carat gold
may frequently assay anywhere from six
to the proper figure, while elghteen-carat
will often assay at twelve. In the case of
"sterling" silver, tests ot some articles
thus marked show not a trace of silver In
their composition. "They were simply pol
ished with nickel polish," to quote tha com
missioner. In contrast with this disregard
of standard in tho marking of precious
metals In New York, the commissioner calls
attention to the fact that the word "ster
ling" and tha carat mark In Great Brltlan
are regarded as sacredly aa the seal of the
government Itself.
A man with a decidedly foreign air, who
was accompanied by an elderly and a young
woman, eveidently his wife and daughter,
waa seen by an employe trying several
doors of a large department store In New
York Saturday afternoon. Tha watchman
approached the group and explained that
the store was closed for the day. ."Yes, I
see," said the man, "and so ara several
others where wo wanted to do some shop
ping. Whafa the matter la this a holiday T"
He was told that nearly all stores close
their doors on Saturday afternoon in the
hot season. This answer seemed to sur
prise the man, who said: "And they say
the Americans are grasping and business
crazy. This does not look like it, and some
of our storekeepers In Europe might follow
tho example."
A New York police magistrate has placed

Two very long and very sharp pointed
hat-pins were brought before him today.
"Are these etillettos?" ho asked the femi
nine defendant. "Why must you wear
such dangerous adornment?"
That- la the style, and I must keep up
with the' stylo," -the woman replied.
It is wrong," said the Judge. "Men
have a right to use their hands to pro
tect themselves from being stuck when they
get near ouch pins, and then they are
arrested for assault or for being disorderly.
I Invariably let them off. Why don't you

Miss Pearl Bird, a comely woman of
2J, of IS Covert street, Brooklyn, waa on
a RMgewood elevated train when she felt
a finger tickling her neck. Then her picture
hat was given a Jolt and fell partly over
her eyes. Still she remained silent. A
few more blocks were traversed when she
again felt tho finger executing fancy fig-
urea around tha top of her spinal column.
Then, as she admitted, she lost her tem
per. Getting to her feet she shot out a
small clenched fist and It landed on the Jaw
of a young man sitting in tho rear seat.
Before he could get up the young woman
got In several uppercuts and swings. Miss
Bird then took a seat in tha front of the
car.
When tho car reached tho Nostrand aven

did Miss Bird. On reaching the street
she called a policeman and bad him

ously questioned whether there is not a
boomerang hidden somewhere In this pro

their action tho railway executives lay
themselves open to the charge of initiating
a class fight, which policy may find Its
antithesis in the adoption of means by
other Interests which desire to maintain or
obtain lower freight rates, to defeat pro-

greatly fear that railway entry Into politics
by tho above means will Injure, rather than
help, tha railway cause.

That the ancients used to say;

Of this busy, modern day.

"Don't put off what you can do
Today . . ."that ta a beauty
For sheer nonsense through and through.
There's lots of things that on can do
Today that I recall, .
By waiting for tomorrow you
Won't have to do at all...
