Regli If you don't register you can't vote And If you don't vote, you have no kick coming. Now Is the time to get out your Ak 8ar-Ben decorations. Do not delay for tbo king is on the way. Governor Stubbs says Kansas Is the brain pan of the nation. The bratn storm, he should have said. The deposed sultan of Sulu assures us that he Is not wife-hunting, which of course, makes blm welcome. "Democratic revival is universal, shouts the Houston Post. Yes, even Arkansas has gone democratic. Roger Sullivan has picked out the kind of mayor he thinks Chicago needs, but is he the kind the people want? Ballooniats complain that they are frequently shot at flying over the east. What is to be done with our wild and woolly east? It is all very well to talk about "consolation . in defeat." But every candidate knows that be prefers con solation in victory. Jack Johnson has refused to run for the legislature in Illinois. Evidently believes a good name is rather to be clionen than great riches. Mrs. Carrie Nation decides to take back her Home for Drunkards, which she gave to a charitable institution. CMt receipts running low? The equinox will please get out of ilie Way now, for Ak-ar-Ben Is com ing and we ran struggle along for a few days without more rain.

Tbe foot ball boys are doing their best to crowd the base ball playera off the map. But tbe fana will remain loyal to the great summer game for some weeks yet. It ia sad to note that San Francisco and New Orleans find It necessary to magnify each other's bad qualities in order.-to exploit .their own virtues as exposition cities. r "Why do they , use those French menu cards?" asks a faithful reader.

The L'nlted States Treasury depart ment assures the people that there will be no money shortage In any part of the country thla autumn or winter; that the banks hive fortified them selves against any possibility of sn emergency demand. Money in tma country and Europe Is plentiful. Crops of sll kinds aro turning out heavy, some at record-breaking rates and general business Is tood. . . it la welt to have this Interposition ot facta from authoritative sources. It will help to o-llay fears and set the peo ple right aa to what they have to look forward to. It will work beneficial to-' suits by wsy of restoring confidence In business and infuse generally a new life Into all lines of commercial activ ity. From official sources wo learn that the banks, exercising that Intelli gent forethought that banks are sup posed to possess, by piling up reserves and cutting down risky loans, have en tirely protected themselves and their customers from dinger. Incidentally we get an object lesson here of what banks may do when they" take a for ward view. They were given to under stand that in the event of a panic they need expect little help from tbe gov ernment, so they availed themselves of their own power, which Is quite suf ficient when duly exercised. Then- we learned of a general de preciation in railroad and other cor poration securities and s falling off in earnings. From official sources wo discover that stockholders and bond holders of corporations will collect in Interest $,000,000 more In October than they did In October of 1801 and $29,000,000 more than In October 1908. And strangely enough, In the face of the general demand of the rail- roada for higher rates as a means of maintaining fair profits, we learn from official sources that among the large dividend payments to be made those of several railroad, notably the New York Central. Union and Southern Pa clfic, come first. Is it not about time to stop crying "wolf?" Schwab Too Fait for Tiai. Chinese royalty may be a very fast pace in the orient, but it does not seem to tax the speed powers of some of our well-known Americans. Prince Teal Hsuln discovered this to his sorrow. It seems, when he under took to output the genial Mr. 8chwab, with whom he had Just signed a contract to build 948,000,000 worth of warships for China. It may not be a matter of national pride to know that a plain, everyday. American can "go" so much faster than a member of the royal family of China, but It is gratifying to feel that it was not our Mr. Schwab who "collapsed and had to be carried to his hotel," y The prince showed himself to be a "Jolly, good fellow," though, for the tenacious effort he made to ''stay' Had he only thought, however, to make an Inquiry or two among some of Mr. Schwab's close friends be might have learned something to' his ad vantage and saved himself the depress ing effect of "the morning after." Still, any man who is close enough to an Imperial strong box to be able to close a contract for $48,000,000 worth of war vessels, certainly has a right to imagine that he is' strong enough to v.hile away a few convivial hours with a simple Americsn without such dis astrous results. It is consoling to know, though, that the prince was not obliged to wire home for funds, or anything of that sort. Our old friend, the sultan of Sulu, hss just arrived in our midst, with a regiment or two of his wives. We wish to commend for his consideration this little experience of T sal's with Mr. Schwab at Philadelphia and suggest that In case he visits that city where brotherly love and good fellowship forms so large a part of life, ho put on the brakes a little sooner thsn tbo prince did, or he tulgtat wake up the next morning - minus a few dozen wives. This Philadelphia pace la one tbat kills and princes and sultans will have to go slow. Uie and Abuse of Applause. The present, we are told, ia an age of transition. New systems of thought sre coming into vogue with new prob lems pressing for solution. People are thinking as they have never thought before, one commonly heara. Perhaps. But of this we may be sure: They are applauding as they never applauded before. It may be an age of. transi tion; it is sn age of applause. Tbe. tendency Is toward hero worship.' But applause hss Its use and its abuse. It Is one of tbe really difficult things to control Applause deserved bad better be withheld than applause undeserved bestowed. It is more dan-1 geroua to exalt a demagogue than to ignore a demigod. One of the by-products of this era nf unrHl la tha armv tt mihlli..... ..J ' nuhllc ninnllnra whn hit nliinl..lv - . V .

Some of them have a real message to deliver and deliver It well, while others have nothing more than worda to sell at so much per. and sellcoursging. Money Is plentiful, tbe tneiu exceedingly , wen. Hut the re grettable feature s that ia many cases the word peddlers have got the ap plause. Wa have all but deified a few of theae voluminous,.

It will bo belter for the problems wo have to solve when wo can learn to discriminate between the false and genuine prophet and confine our ap plause to those who are not la tbe business of writing purely for what money they can extort from publishers aa Indifferent to facts as they aro. Peo ple aro thinking, but they must think more wisely and more Independently and not be too easily misled by merce nary publicists. Penal Law and Christ. Every now and then some idealist tells us that we must abolish penal law and substitute curative measures for dealing with criminals, for crime is a disease; tbat the criminal code is a futile farce and penitentiaries a fail ure, the whole institution of punishing lawbreakera being almply a relic of barbarism. Rev. Dr." Frank Crane, now of Chicago, Is the latest to propound this doctrine. Writing in the Chicago Even ing Post, he says: The world is soltig to learn aoma day a truth that now neami an abaurdity that all punlahment la wrong and worse than useleaa. Tha lawbreaker Is diseased. It Is our business to cure blm, and not, aa In savage trlbea, to beat him or drive out the devil. Chriat and Tolstoy are absolutely right Tbe most logical and natural thing In life la punishment. . It is the princi ple on which all nature operates. Na ture has a penalty for the violation of every one of its laws, in the animal and vegetable kingdoms alike. This fact Is too patent and simple to re quire argument. And in society tho principle, is, can safely be, no different. Crime may be a disease, but neverthe less so long as man is human, penal laws must be maintained and enforced. The debt of mankind Is front tho indi vidual to society, not society to tho In dividual. Indeed Chriat wa right, but Christ never preached the heresy that any man can commit crime and escape Its penalties. He could not without de nounclng Sinai aa a farce and Calvary aa a comedy. Hia own death for the sins of the world Is the everlasting answer to this fantastic Illusion of twentieth century dreamers. To be sure he said: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am come, not to destroy, but to fulfil." And when . we imagine that the Mosaic injunction of "an eye for an eye ana a tootn for a tooth ' was an empty aphorism let us remember that this same Christ on tho mount said: "For verily 1 say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one Jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from tho law, till all be fulfilled." What about the man, who, refuaing to agree with hia adversary, la cast Into prison and kept there "till thou bast paid the uttermost farthing?" Christ, the author of salvation, cannot be held up aa the evamplar of any such wesk system of government aa winks at crime and Invitee its commission by annulling law on the ground that hia creatures are a lot of imbeciles. Why preach such a doctrine and then say anything about tho hereafter? Rejiitration. Whether the Nebraska plan for reg istration of voters ia a wise one mat ters not at present. It is the law, and each voter who desires to exercise the privilege of his francblse must have himself enrolled on tho list of voters. In order to do this he must visit the polling place in h,ls precinct on one of the days designated by law and per sonally attend to his registration. This ia the occasion, perhaps, of some little inconvenience to the voter but if he intends to'psrticlpate In the election next November he muat put himself to the trouble of getting hia name on the list. No one else can uo it for him. The Issues at stake in the coming elec tion are such as ahouid bring out a large vote. It would be well if the total vote of the state could be induced to give expression on the questions presented. The people of Omaha are vitally concerned and ahouid see to It that the entire vote of thla cty is cast. The first day of registration was very largely neglected by the voters, only a few more than 4,000 names be ing placed on the list. This leaves! about 20,000 still to be, enrolled, with only two more days to get in under the wire. The next registration day will be Tuesday, October 4, and voters who have not as yet registered should at tend to it on that day without fall. .

Old Bltteraeee Taalaalaa. Baltimore American.

A SheeklBSj Dtocavery. Chicago Tribune. The official conscience of Vice President Park of the Illinois Central railroad Is profoundly stirred by the frightful loss of life on American rallroada. In these days of Irresponsible publicity a man is likely to learn almost anything. Mr. Park must havs found an old newspaper In the attic.

I.aaralllaa; Appraprta tloaa. Philadelphia Ledger. Everybody will Indorae the preaidents condemnation of ''ipg-rolllng" In river and harbor appropriations and of the piecemeal method of carrying on large improvements. That the national energies should be con centrated upon the completion of the most Important works,, and not frittered away in small experiments, all will agree. But how ia one part of the country to perauade the other parta that its own livers or har bora or Internal waterways are those to which all others should give way? And without auch agreement, who la to decide? The president himself will hardly assume tha authority, and while it is left to con gress tha reciprocal consideration which goes by the name of log-rolling and which baa . existed from tha beginning, will be hard to atruggla againat.

President Tat't haa devoted considerable thought and time to economy In the exe cutive depaitmenta at Washington. The subjei't Is dry and tiresome. Money must be saved by careful attention to details, by retrenchment! that are likely to be called "cheeseparing," by the unpleasant procese ot abollHliing easy berths and dlamlsvlng unnecessary sen and. And w han the results are made known the savings often appear ludicrously small because the amount saved is usually put Into comparison with the total coat of conducting the whula govern ment. Yet, .Mr. Taft and his auborninates have kept at thla necessary. If disagreeable work with results that are beginning to show. In the Bureau of Engraving and Printing last year 11 per cent more work waa done than in tha previous year and Tor I172.0U0 less. Of thla sum ttf&ooe was saved by re ducing the size of Internal revenue atamps. Tha new methods Mr. Hitchcok has Intro duced in tha Postofflce department promise to make that enterprise aelf-auntalning. This will be done by attention to small details aa well as by vigilant scrutiny of large items. Mr. Taft pioinlked economy and s mak ing good bis promise. It is a homely, pro saic affair, ta ba sure, but it will afOrct tha pocketbook nerve of every voter. If should ba a matter of Intereat, even to the moat violent and heated of Insurgents.

Army Gossip of toseeeel aal Baafe f tbe rtrtaa X4aa teawaO freak the Arm? as sTevy aaattoftat. The examination! tor entrance to tha army medical achoot In Washington have bean completed and It Is found that sixty, three candidates for admission have been suaeaastul and will undertake their school duties on October I when tha school be gins the term of ISIO-U.- This Is the Isrgest class to ba enrolled at tha army medical school, last year's claas of fifty-eight men being the prevloua record. This fills all but thirteen vacancies in the corps. The assistant comptroller ot tha treasury has decided thet he went beyond the limits of tha law when - he decided that quar ters might lawfully be hired at the ex pense of the government for contract sur. geons or contract dental surgeons. The new ruling follows one of July SS, 1110, In which It was held that light and heat could not be furnished contract dental aurgeons at public expense. The contract aurgeons or contract dental surgeons sre held en titled to only whst Is specified In their contracts, and hereafter payments for hire of quartera for them will not be allowed. Tha question ot their occupancy of public quarters belonging to tha United States wss not before the assistant comptroller when he rendered this decision. The articles of equipment recommended by the Infantry equipment board and re ferred to the cavalry equipment board aa susceptible of use by both tha foot and mounted soldier will be made the subject of a special report by the- latter board at an early day. These articles are the hat and hat-band, the neckerchief, the overcoat and pea jacket, the sweater recommended to be worn on some occasions In the field In place of tha sen-Ice coat, the ehelter-tent, poles and pins, and the poncho. Whan tha report of the cavalry board on theae ar ticles Is received it will be submitted to the secretary of war. In due course, together with other matters yet to be disposed of In connection with tha report of the In fantry. Among the questions are the ex tent of issue of the dispatch-case, tha shirt Insignia and the abolition of the emergency ration. It Is Intended thet all these mat ter shall be brought before the secretary at the same time. Those articles of the new Infantry equipment being supplied by the ordnance department are In course of manufacture at the Rock Island arsenal or under contract with that department Or ders for 25.000 seta of the equipment have been placed. Experiments are being con ducted to determine the moat satisfactory way of manufacturing the seamless alumi num canteen, particularly as to the method of welding tha metal In which much dif ficulty is encountered. By far the most Interesting and Instruc tive feature of the typhoid situation at Washington Barracks la the demonstration It affords of the real value of antl-ty-phold vaccination. On June 14, ten days prior to leaving Washington for the Qet- tyaburg maneuvers, ninety-two members of company A, first battalion of engineers. received the first inoculation of antl-ty-phold vaocine. On July f fifty-two of these men received tha second inoculation, and on July 16. fifty-one of theae received the third Inoculation. Of tha remaining twenty-six men' of the command, a few refused vaccination and others were on detached service or temporarily absent from the post when the first preventive inoculation was given on June 14. Two of the twenty-six unlnoculated men gave a history of having had typhoid fever and, by virtue of that fact, may be eonaldered Immune. Thla leaves 3i men, of the total strength of US men, who had not acquired an immunity to typhoid fever by either preventive Inocula tion or a previous attack of the disease. On August 11, five days after the troops returned from Gettysburg, two of the un lnoculated men developed typhoid fever, and, between August 20 snd August 1$, four secondary casea occurred also among the unvacclnated. Not a single case occurred smong those who had received the preven tive inoculation, while 25 per cent of the non-immune, living under exactly the same conditions, succumbed to Infection. Such figures as these argue most eloquently for compulsory vaccination in the military ser vice. The officers of the genersl staff, who have been engaged for more than a year In an extensive revision of the Infantry drill regulations, expect to have a tentative draft ready for issue and trial to a limited extent by November 1. The revision was practically completed last March, at which time It become evident that the adoption of the new equipment for the foot soldier would neceasltate further changes to recon cile to tha new equipment those paragraphs which pertained to the old equipment. These t-hsnges have now been made. Tha regula tion will probably ba Issued to at least two regiments of Infantry of the regular army and one regiment of militia for trial for about alx montha. Criticisms snd sug gestions will be Invited from the officers on duty with the troops hsvlng the regu lations under experimental use; and, after expiration of the experimental period, the regulations will be again gone over In con nection with the recommendations received. Thereafter it Is expected they will be printed In their finsl form and Issued to the service. The revialon haa been a long and tedious one. The last revision resulted In the edition of 1904. and the work of im proving those regulations in the light of experience and new mrthoda of equipment haa been most carefully done. During the procesa of evolving the revised regulations the officers engaged in the work have felt the need of lnfsntry troops for the purpose of testing In actual practice proponed changea, and thla ia now cited aa one of the reasons why some Infantry organiza tiona ahouid ba atatloned near Washington. The fact that such experiments wets not possible makes sll tha mora advisable a trial of the new regulations before they are finally adopted. The officera of tha gen eral ataff who have been engaged in tha reviaion are 'olonl Joseph W. Duncan, Sixth Infantr" : Major Clarence K. Dentler, Twenty-third Infantry, and Captain William 8. Gravea, Twentieth infantry. HI nee the relief of Major Dentler from duty as a member of tha general ataff and hia as. slgnment to duty at fan Antonio, Tx., the work haa been carried on by Colonel Dun can and Captain Gravea. Captains John U. De Witt. Twentieth infantry, and Merch B. Stewart. Eighth cavalry, who were mem be ra of tha Infantry equipment board, also participated in the work In connection re conciling the regulations to ths new in fantry equipment. Asmara taajectaree.

Charles Feltman, who has died at Cas set, Germany, deserves to be remembered for hia Initiative In making Coney Island a pleasure ground. He was born with Im agination. While working for a baker In South Brooklyn and delivering bread along the ocean front he first conceived of ths possibilities of that shore. Despite the clamor of battle and the spouting of the captains of politics, It Is possible to find reasons for congratulating President Taft. An admiring friend pre sented him with a flolsteln, famed for the quantity and the soothing quality ot her milk, and before tha cow a-rived she had added a calf to tbe roster of White house live stock. Frances Bratrina, a 11-year-old Austrian girl, wbo came all the way from her na tive province to the home of her brother, Mike Bratrina, in liarrixburg.

The little girl, whose parents died In the old country, cams all the way alone and was the first to break the news of her parents' death to her brother. HliMAJS FACTOR If WRECKS. Less a ef Recent Dlaaatera aa Trot ley Mar. St. Louis Republic. The Republic has before now pointed out the doubtful blessings following In the train of industrial, commercial or financial development at a pace so rapid that hu man development cannot keep up with It. The fearful electric railway disaster in northeast Indiana Is a case In point. Financiers have found capital; engineers have designed machinery and cars; sur veys have been mada; rails laid and opera tlona begun all faater than men could be developed for the responsible positions of drivers of heavy cars running at express speeds. The conditions that govern the making of locomotive engineers are severe; the rules regulating their admission to servloe are most rigid; supervision of them, both by officials and by their own organiza tions, is constsnt and unflagging. Loco motive engineering Is almost a profession with a high tradition. There has not been time for anything like this development on trolley roads, though the trolley "en gineer" has to reckon with as greut speeds and will soon deal with as heavy weights as the locomotive driver. The physical, ordeal Is a factor here. No weakling could ever come to run a loco motive. The man on the right side of the engine has passed through a time of proba tion, shoveling many tons of coal a day into an inferno of biasing light and burn ing heat, while bracing himself against the lurching of tha stlffest of vehicles upon the smooth surface of an iron plate. Will the easier Initiation of the trolley car driver ever produce uch men? Wa. doubt It; and the answer Is big with meaning to the safety of society. The first day'a sale of the first John Wanamaker store amounted to $54.61. That mtmm m mnnA msnv veara aao. and since then one month's business in Wana- -T.t.ll.tn'Alr.thla fi4 IW Vfifl. afore amounted to $6,600,000. Do you wonder that I want to write a book on the romance of business bulldine:? Can you think of any story of mora ab- sorbins interest thsn ths following this Talks to People Who Sell Things wonderful man through the fllrriouit'es ana merchant who puts his proposition squar' hardships that he had to overcome to es- up to them; when he takes them in lilt tabllih this wonderful and enormous busl- confidence; when he tells them what he neas? proposes to do for them; when he tells Mr. Wsnamaker was perhaps the first them the truth persistently and In merchant to establish a one-price store telligently? and everybody predicted fa'lure. Ills ban'- The Wanamaker stores spend a million ers refused further credit, because, they dollars a year telling the truth to the peo aald. such a policy would ruin his bust- pie principally In New York and Phila ness. delphia newspapers. But Mr. Wsnamaker knew pretty well And that million dollars could not he put whst he was about, as the results prove, so he went ahead with his plan. The day following his determination to establish the one-price system he an- nounced the fact in tha newspapers. That is, he put hia proposition squarely to the people, took them Into his confi- dence and told them what he proposed to do for them. The people were good and tired of "let the buyer beware" way of doing bust- ness. They could not be worse oft In any case, so, figuratively speaking, they said to Mr. Wanamaker, "All right, go ahead and ahow us. If you treat us fairly. If you do what you aay you will do. we are with you, we will give you our support, we will buy your goods, and be glad of the chance, on auch terms." Mr. Wanamaker did go ahead, did show them that a merchant could and would keep hia word proved that business could be carried on properly If decently. The policy of doing buslneaa haa never been changed In the Wanamaker stores absolute honesty absolute integr'ty abso luth truth !n all thev do and say. If goods are not as good as thev look customer la so informed. Ihe If goods are bought at a price below the market price, only tha usual legitimate profit Is added when they are put on sale if they advertise the goods, they tell whv they are offered at such a price. Tha principle of "your money back If the goods are not satisfactory" Is another evidence of Wanamaker'a fa r dealing.
