The kaiser is not afraid to say bo. anyway. - I Korea and Brooklyn are now in the tame boat. Evidently the weather man Is not a card holder in any labor union. If Texas gets much more conserva tive it will have to change lta name. Strike violence, no matter by which side initiated. Is always reactionary. Those Oklahoma Indians have cer tainly paid enough to become citizens. It seems that Prof. James himself raised the question. Can he come back? Thia may be an off year In politics, but the country is still getting on tol erably well. The sinking of the Maine raised enough "Ned" to entitle the old ship to be raised. J If Mr. L-oeb should ever lose , his present Job he might open up a collec tion agency and get rich. Now If Omaha can oniy get use of those blockaded streets In time for Ak-Sar-Ben It might help some. Lincoln pulled an elghteen-innlng game away from Omaha by only one run. We demand a recount. Some eastern papers object to the colonel ualcrf ",I" in hla speeches. Probably want him to say "Me." Mr. Rockefeller now shyly admits that he loves the earth. Probably pleased with his possessions, then. Dr. Parkhurst tells us that "silence la a life preserver." The doctor had better.be more careful or he will sink. Inventor Edison has perfected a de vice to make pictures talk, but It has not remained for him to make money talk. Scanning that conservation congress program from afar, bow can anybody Imagine a dull moment In St. Paul this week? When Colonel Roosevelt talked in Omaha he got an audience In London, Berlin, Paris and the capital of every other European nation that supports a navy. Census office announcements so far made elicit comment that no city has shown a decrease in population In the last decade. Walt until we hear from St. Joseph. Governor Shallenberger ought to have gotten hold of that horse lini ment for his bad leg before the pri mary sprint in which he came in a limping second. Texas has reached the point where It haa to plead with the legislature to desist before it runs all foreign capital out of the state. Its extra sessions have become the regulars. Now for the reopening of the big gest factory of all the factory that transforms the raw material school children into a world-beating finished rodnct of American citizenship. Tift and Roosevelt on the Tariff. In hlg Sloui City speech Colonel Roosevelt tells Just where be stood on the matter of tariff revision and In effect says that be stands exactly where President Taft stands. This speech ought effectually to silence the sinister predictions that the former president disagrees with President Taft In this most Important Issue of bis administration. Colonel Roosevelt believes In fur ther scientific revision of the tariff. So does President Taft, as be has often reiterated. Roosevelt Indorses re vision by single schedules, a method to which the president baa more than once committed himself. Roosevelt advocates such change in (he tariff as will equalize the cost of production here and abroad. That Is the plank in the last republican platform, on which Taft stood squarely and which he has continued to hold up as the desirable goal. Roosevelt Indorses the tariff commission plan, the plan finally tested by President Taft when he secured the creation of a tariff board to enforce the reciprocity feature. That Is the feature of he Taft tariff policy which Roosevelt mostly heartily commends and that Is the core of the president's tariff policy. But In addi tion to all these points, Roosevelt Is with Taft on the maximum and mini mum clause In the new tariff law, a proposition which the president urged on congress with all his power and secured only after a struggle. If the critics of the Taft administra tion could suggest any other points of possible disagreement on the tariff it would be interesting to know what they are. If it was necessary to wait for Colonel Roosevelt' verdict, it ought now to be accepted In good faith. The Stocki and Bonds Commission. The president may be pardoned for feeling a degree of personal pride in the make-up of his commission on reg ulating the Issue of stocks and bonds of interstate commerce railways. At the head of the commission he has placed President Hadley of Yale, an authority on railroad economics, and associated with him other similar stu dents and men of the highest standing in their respective professions. Bet ter than all, as President Taft . Bays, the commission represents the progres sive and conservative Ideas as to the work in hand, which was the most difficult condition to meet in selecting the body. The proper regulation of the Issu ance of railroad securities is one of the big problems before the country and it was so recognized In 1908, when the republicans pledged themselves In the national platform to give their best thought to It. There can be no doubt that the people are still insistent on the matter and will look to the next session of congress for some tangible form of action. That brings up another matter of trite Interest. If by any event the next congress should be democratic the country would obtain little satis faction In this legislation that It Is de manding, for the democrats opposed the president's recommendations on railroad security regulation In the last session and they would certainly do so again and, if in the majority, could undo much that had been done and head off further progress. The demo crats based their former opposition on the old ground e state rights, main talnlng that the federal government had no power to make such regulation As their whole scheme of action would be to neutralize the undertakings of the republican president and senate. should they gain control of the next house, it stands to reason that what ever the commission might propose this provision would be nullified by them. It Is important that the voters realize all this while they have the power of passing on the matter them selves. Brooklyn's Local Pride. Brooklyn papers refuse to express surprise with the census officials at the increase in population which that borough shojvg, an Increase of 10 per cent, or 467,769 persons in the last ten years. They say they expected it be cause Brooklyn "Is moving rapidly to the fulfillment of her manifest destiny sb the 'imperial borough of the Im perial city of New York.' " This "man ifest destiny" Idea is growing on our cities, east and west. Brooklyn cannot entirely recover from the pang of disappointment at ceasing to be an independent munici pality and becoming merely a part of Greater New York. The old local pride was not absorbed and effaced with that merger and it Is questiona ble if it ever will be. This "city of churches," at which New York once loved to poke fun as a suburban rest dence district, naturally clings to the old excluslveness which ever charac terized it in Its relations to Gotham, and It Is not to be.expected that it can easily overcome the feeling that It will never again be known as Brooklyn, one of the great American cities, not withstanding Its citizens must see in the present conditions more to their own material advantages than In the old. But as to this1 manifest destiny we imagine that It will not sooner be ful filled in Brooklyn's case In surpassing Manhattan than in Chicago's in eclips ing New York, if. Indeed, as soon. Manhattan, which was the original New York, still haa double the popu lation of Brooklyn and the heart of the business city to keep up Its pulsat ing growth. It is not quite reasonable to suppose that Brooklyn, with Its 1,634,000, will soon outstrip Manhat tan with Its 2,330,000, especially since the business of the great metropolis Is done In Manhattan and that of the Western Hemisphere centers there. Proof of Democratic Insincerity. That the democrats have no use for republicans, Insurgents, standpatters, progressives or regulars except to get them to desert their own party and vote the democratic ticket Is again ex emplified by Mr. Bryan's wholesale en. dorsement in his Commoner of demo cratic nominees for congress In all six of the Nebraska districts. This is par ticularly obvious In the expression of preference in the Fifth district as be tween Congressman Norris and ex Congressman Sutherland. Seeking hard for an excuse, Mr. Bryan says: it would be difficult, If not Impossible, to defeat Congressman Norris but for the fact that ex-Congressman Sutherland, his dem ocratic opponent, has a record which com mends him to the voters. Sutherland stands for all the good things that Norrie rep resents and for many good things that Nor ris opposes. And Sutherland would In ad dition have the advantages of having his party with him, while Norris would have hla party against him. When Senator Gore proposed that the democrats should trump in every where for insurgent republicans by re fraining from making nominations against them, the intention was plainly to make republican congress men like NorrlB believe that any re publican support they might lose through their insurgency would be more than made up by rallying demo crats to their aid. The Bee insisted at the time that the democrats were not sincere and had no Intention of adopting the plan advanced by Sena tor Gore, and the present effort of Mr. Bryan to beat Congressman Norris with an ex-populist, and an ex-populist at that with a record for doing abso lutely nothing when be was in con gress before, is proof positive that no republican can hope to have the sup port of Mr. Bryan for congress against any democrat with whom Mr. Bryan has no personal grievance. It is the same old story of denouncing Judge Parker as a dishonest tool of the money power and then as soon as plas tered with the official democratic label supporting him for president against Roosevelt, who had done more to incur the hatred of the Wall street magnates than any other man of his day. Will the Spirit Slake Good? Whether Prof. William James has put spiritualism on trial or not, be has certainly Bet up a rigid test for his own spirit by demanding that one year from hisBeath, it come back and read the contents of secret letters which he had placed in safety deposit vaults in London, and by' selecting the famous feminine medium of London to eonduct the seance. What other people, spiritualists es pecially, may decide as to this test Is yet to be developed, but Prof. James has made it clear that for him self the test would be final. If the spirit interpreted the letters, then his faith, were he alive, would be estab llshed In spiritualism; if it did not, since he never had been converted, he would remain outside the fold. Only the noted psychologist himself is supposed to have known what these letters contained and none other is to know until after the seance a year hence. But does anyone for a moment believe that the school of spiritualism is going to stand or fall by this or any other test? Who expects the spirit of a doubter like Prof. James to make good? Occult science is not oc cult for nothing- It would indeed be a poor makeshift if It could not devise some way of getting at the contents of these letters. Or if it failed, who has the remotest Idea that Its failure could not easily be explained away? The world of spiritualists is not likely to worry much over the peril to which Prof. James may have believed he has subjected spiritualism. It doubtless has already made up Its mind that his spirit will make good, will meet the test the doctor raised and come back, triumphantly proving that spiritualism Is everything and all its exponents claim for It. Here's a pretty mess. Up in the Sixth Nebraska district, where two em inent nonpartisan demo-pops have each raptured a nomination for con gress, one on the democratic ticket and one on the populist ticket, after agreeing to an arbitration by the two state committees as to which should run, one accuses the other of breaking faith and trying to steal a march by seeking a recount to find out whether an honest canvass .would not show that the people had already riecided. This Is unquestionably a rank outrage to go behind the self-constituted leaders and appeal to the voters them selves. Let the people rule through the bosses. When the colonel failed to mention the president all the democratic organs were duly excited by the significance of the omission. But as soon as he throws a bouquet at bis successor they Immediately insist that the colonel is so free with his praise for everybody that it doesn't mean anything. Catch 'em a-cominf and catch 'em a-goin'. Labor day Is a day which not only the laboring man, but the man who employs him, looks upon as a memor ial to the dignity and honor of honest toll. Blnce this anniversary was first set aside the mutual relations have vastly improved and if it be due to one thing more than another we should say that one thing is that each has begun to view the other's Interests from the put-yonrself in-bls-place standpoint. Selfishness Is gradually giving way, though no ideal condltlou has yet been reached and both capital and labor have yet much to do before they can boast of complete harmony and charity. The death In Cleveland of Dr. Mar cus Rosenaasser, brother of Ed ward Rosewater, founder of The Bee, casts a shadow over the newspaper In which he had a substantial proprietary interest, although never taking an ac tive rart in its management. Dr. Rosenwasser was a noted physician and surgeon, who came to the finan cial assistance of bis brother In the stress and storm of the early days of The Bee and later rejoiced with him In its success. As a business msn he was careful and far-sighted, and his counsel and advice were often factors in determining the course of the news paper. Among other exhibits of Nebraska products promised at the State fair is a continuous performance by candi dates soliciting votes in the November election. When it comes to the polit ical crop Nebraska challenges the world. Timothy Woodruff may yet find it necessary to fall back upon his fame as the owner of many vests for his chief claim to distinction. The open primary in Nebraska will be a closed incident as soon as the next legislature- has a chance to repeal It. I'nddina; the Fuel Bin. Indianapolis News. Furthermore, President Ripley, of the Santa Fe, Is expecting a hard winter, aa is shown by tha fact that he has allowed $700,000 for the company's fuel reserve sup ply this year, which cost only 1158,000 in 1908 and 8191,01)0 in 1909. Jonathan on the Spot. Sioux City Tribur.e. Those who week to prove changeublenesfi on the part of Senator Dolllver might take notice that when he was supposed to be in Wisconsin wilting his collar In the In tercuts of Senator La Follette he hobbled up serenely, epic and span, at a Roonevelt breakfast in cVnaha. i Couldn't Keep 'Kin Down. Indianapolis News. Railroad earnings increased 6.1 per cent during the first three weeks In August, according to Dun's report. It Is almost as hard for railroad expenditures to keep up with the Increase of earnings as It la for the plain people's rate of wages to keep up with the Increase in the cost of living. Be Reasonable, W. J B. Chicago Tribune. Probably it 1b worse than useless to Im plore William Jennings Bryan to desist from any pursuit in which he finds pleasure or in which he believes himself headed to wards the common good, but, nevertheless, vain though be the effort, we must beseech him not to "sic" T.

MR. BUVAPC AT HOME. An Emphatic Indication of Declining; Popularity. Harper's Weekly. It is natural to couple the colonel's rebuff in hla own state, such as It Is, with Mr. Bryan's rebuff In his state. Mr. Bryan's leadership has been at times as absolute aa the colonel's; It has lasted longer, and no office-holding or offlco-dLBtiitrutlng has helped it out. But there is no comparison in the matter of force and decisiveness be tween the two setbacks. It was not a group or clique that administered Mr. Bryan's; It was the overwhelming majority of his party In Nebraska. What has happened to him there is, therefore, a far stronger and plainer Indication of declining popu larity tiian what has happened to the col onel In New York. The nomination of Hltoii- cock over Metealf, Mr. Bryan's man for senatorship, Is taken aa confirmation and emphasis of the earlier action of the state convention about the platform. The Ne braska democrats may have gone farther for a special reason khan democrats else where would go in the matter of turning Mr. Wryan down, but the algna elsewhere seem to read the same way. Whatever the republicans may do, democrats seem plainly Inclined to try a new leadership and not so half-heurtlly as they did In 1904. The pretty steady bettering of their prospects as autumn approaches and republicans still fall to get together makes for thoroughness In their reoganlzlng and vigor In their fight. Whatever the chances of having a third party in this country, the chances of again having two parties are much better. Our Birthday Book Beptsmber a, 1910. Melville E.

Oa ass Back of the Firing Ida Olaaaeg from the Amy and Itary Reflate. The chief of engineer of the army has Issued a circular which extends the pro vilon of previous requirements in a way which Is entirely ooninteiil. Orders, which were Issued In January, prohibited tly application of the namea of living of ficers of the corps lo vessel!. Improved projects such as channels and locks buildings, etc. It Is happens that the iame of civilians and other government officials may. under this arraimement, be t;ed and the distinction become more or Irss In vidious. General Blxby has now modified the order of IK)t ko :is to extend he restric tion of that circular, ns regards living of ficers, in such way as to Include alt living persons, whether officers, other govern ment officials, or civilians. In such mat ters, it is desired that p-eferen;e be given to names of deceased engineer officer and assistants who have been promlnei.lly con nected with past work of th improvemnts or constructions most immediately con cerned, or to the waterway, or districts where the constructions t,ie located or are to be used, or to colonial names directly connected therewith. The War Department 'ias little Ir.formn tlon of a definite sort concerning the rob bery at Camp K. S. Otis In Wyoming, where the paymaster's safe was looted ot about ;.500. Captain Willi un T. Wilder of the infantry arm, do'allnd for duty In the pay department, was In charge of the funds on August 9. During bis temporal y absence the safe "onUilninjt the funds was placed in care of a guard of the Ninth In fantry. The next day when Captain Wilder (returned the safe had disappeared. A thorough search was at once Instituted, the members of the guard were plucfrd under arrest, and an inyestlnatlon has been In progress. The War Department ! f fered a reward of V500 upon authority of the comptroller of the treasury fir the arrest of the -hl"s. When the circum stances attending the loss of (lit; funds have been commun'ea ed to the War De partment, it will thn be detcmlneil whe ther Captain WlHor snali be held let-pon-elble. ITndor the law Ms accounts will bo checked to the extent of the log pending congressional relief, If the War l.'etH;i ment recommends uch fiction. One of the Important subjects of Interest to the army which President Taft will shortly consider is the appointment ot three brigadier generals to fill vacancies caused by the retirement of Brigadier General Walter Howe on December SI, 1S10; Major General Duval, January 13, 1911, and Brlg.i dier General F. K. Ward on March 19. 1911. It is difficult to figure out Just how these appointments will be distributed, but It is supposed that due regard will be paid to proportions and that one of the new briga diers will be selected from the Infantry, an other from the cavalry, and the third from the coast artillery corps. With the commis sioning of Colonel M. M. Macomb aa a brigadier general, upon tha retirement of General Myer tn November, the field ar tillery will have two of the fifteen briga diers, the other field artillery officer In that grade being Brigadier General R. D. Potts. There are now seven brigadiers who were derived from the Infantry arm GeneralB Myer. Hodges, Wotherspoon, Brush, Smith, Maus and Hoyt. The ap pointment of Colonel Macomb reduces the proportion, which will probably be restored when a vacancy occurs by virtue of the retirements of Generals Howe, Duval and Ward. The need of special legislation which shall permit army officers to be detailed for duty with the organized . militia, Is shown this year by the difficulty which was encount ered by the military authorities in obtaining enough officers to perform this valuable service. The chief of staff of the army will recommend at the next session of con gress the enactment of a law which under the same arrangement which now prevails grese the enactment of a law which will permit officers to be detailed for militia duty under the same arrangement which now prevails la assigning line officers to duty with the special staff board. This year there were detailed 197 officers of the regular army to act as umpires and In structors at United States campe or in struction during the present season; forty- five regular officers were detailed to state camps of instruction of militia; and 141 regular officers were detailed to duty at camps of Instruction for militia officers. With respect to the last, reports from ten of these camps have not yet been received and may show quite a number of additional officers detailed by department command ers. Of these officers about seventy-five were furnished from the army service schools, Fort Leavenworth Kan., tha re mainder being made up from officers at the mounted service school, Fort Riley, on col lege duty, at West Point, and those who could be spared for such duty from their regiments. There is a possibility that It will not be necessary to keep hard bread In stock for lssu to troops in the field. The trial of the field bakery at the maneuver camp at Gettysburg resulted in most gratifying suc cess and has simplified the" Issue of bread in the field, so that In the future, according to a report made by Captain Morton J Henry of the subsistence department, who waj chief commissary of the Gettysburg camp, there should be no question of the ability of the subsistence department to always furnish soft bread. Captain Henry further expresses the opinion that the suc cess of the field bakery Justifies the ex pectation that the hard bread may be prac tically done away with and twelve ounces of soft breat Issued instead. The equip ment of the new bakery, it is pointed out, ments can be done away with and It Is be lieved that not more than pine ovens are needed for a division at war strength. It Is recommended that the ovens be not issued to the regiments, -but handled by the sub sistence department as a field bakery of a division. The bakers should be enlisted men of the subsistence department or of a gen eral service corps. It being held that not as satisfactory results are obtainable In the field In time of war with untrained en listed men or civilian bakers. NATION'S St MM ICR CAPITAL. Burial Characteristics of Beverly Qnltr Exclusive. Metropolitan Magazine. Beverly, Mass., Is the summer adjunct of Boston, and especially of Beacon street, the Somerset club and the arlatrocratlc environs. Beverly means something. In Beverly the dwellers In the smallest housea along the shore, or the little cottage back toward the country club, are as good as the very best. If they have the open esame of the family name, which Includes the ramification of a vast and extensive cousinshlp, they may entertain successfully with the aid of a cook, waitress and a chambermaid, and they will be asked as frequently to the larger houses as If they could give quid pro quo In the way of a return. Yes: you may be plain looking poor and even stupid, but If you have the qualifications, Beverly accepts you. And If you haven't keep away! You may coma from the middle west with a braaa band snd a halo of natural gas, or packing house millions at yi ur back, rent the mot expensive place, put a sign up at the gates of "Welcome," bait It with a suggestion of I the excellence of your chef, and you on get a single caller; mat I. tnc lust season. Of late, owing to th presence of the presi dent of the Vnlted States, Beverly has been much In the papers, but so far there has been no record of any lady giving en tertainment for hervfriend's pet dogs, with Invitations ent out for "Fido's day it home." Then there have been no live canaries in the pie or lle fisli swimming In the center of the table. They do at Beverly the things their father and mothers might have done. To put It shortly, Beverly Is rather conservative- and unite well satisfied to be so. CtH.ONF.I. ROO'KYftl.T IN OMIHt Featnrea of the Itereptloa Viewed hy Kaateru Correspondents. The welcome extended by Omaha to Col onel Roosevelt furnished material for some reflections by eastern correspondent on the spol. Reports sent to the New York Surand the New York World sketch the main features of the event, aSd both Inti mate that mixing political medicine was quite conspicuous. The Sun account says: Omaha gave him what one might term a thoughtful reception. The people of Ne braska are with him all right, only they are not so demonstrative as the Kansans, who are positively wild eyed. There was a dia tant undercurrent of approval that was made manifeat when the occasion was of fered. Politicians by the score flocked to Omaha to whisper kind words to the colonel. Sen ators Burkett and Brown of this state and Senator Dollver of Iowa were on hand all day long, and they said lots of patriotic things about Mr. Roosevelt. Burkett, who la seeking re-elecUon to the United States senate, presided at the ex ercises in the auditorium. He lauded the colonel to the sklea. This rove Mr. Roose velt the opportunity to boom Burkett In front of a great crowd. It Is interesting to note that Senator Dolllver Is about aa popular here as either of the Nebraska sen ators. When he arose in the Auditorium to pond to the demand from the crowd for a speech Dolllver was eloquent. His Insur gent blood rrew hot. He plaoed Mr. Roose velt In the same category with Jefferson and Lincoln. The audience yelled and the colonel beamed happily. It was a crowd of Intelligent folk that Mr. Roosevelt faced. They didn't punctuate his talk with the cowboy shrieks of Denver or the whoops of sunflower Kansans. They applauded generously when they thought he deserved It, and the colonel liked their manner. Tha World correspondent saw little than politics during the colonel's stay In Omaha, and makes these statements In his report: Toiltlca played a far more Important part In Theodore Roosevelt's visit here today than did bis speech favoring a greater navy and praising the work done upon the Pan ama canal. He took occasion before the 8,000 persons In the Auditorium to praise Senator Burkett, who haa Just won out In a hot primary fight, and to indorse Senator Dolllver, who has been hla shadow through out the day. Governor Shallenberaer. Mayor Dahlman and Senators Brown and Burkett were also constantly with him. and in the evening a delegation of congress men from North Dakota Jolnedthe mutual admiration society. Colonel Roosevelt reaohed Omaha at 8:46 o'clock in the morning and was Immediately escorted to the Omaha club, with not more than ZOO persons shouting a welcome. Sen ator Dolllver was among them. The Col onel and the senator rushed to meet each other like long lost brothers. "Bully glad to see you, senator. This is an unexpected Joy!" said the colonel. 'I just couldn't keap away," responded Dolllver. At the clubhouse Rooaevelt kept to tha room provided for him, and his only callers during the morning were city officials, the two Nebraska senators and several can didates for congress. It can be stated positively that several of the candidates begged Colonel Roosevelt to come out with a positive declaration that he la a candidate for tha next republican nomination as president. They urged upon him the necessity of letting the men of the west know that the party Intends to be pro gressive, and one or two of the men uM that such a declaration would mean their political safety. But as yet there Is no declaration to record. Talks for people "Price's Baking Powder" ia a house- hold word from one end of this coun- try to the other. Dr. Vincent C.
