Republican Party's Appeal. Two years a no this month William II. Taft was asked by a leading mag azine to write An article on the Issues of the campaign. In complying he said: To my mind the Issues of the campaign are r.ot different from thoKe which arlae In every presidential election, towlt. whether the work of the existing admin istration ahall be approved by continuing In power the same party, or shall be con demned by turning the administration of the country' affairs over to the demo cratic party. I While this is not a presidential! campaign, Mr. Tart s words migni ap ply today with as much force as they did in 1908. The present election turns on national issues, on the funda mental proposition as stated above. But in 1908 Mr. Taft did not take simply the administration of Presi dent Roosevelt, as the basis of the re publican party's appeal; he took it In conjunction with that of President McKlnley. And so today the appeal of the republican party to the sanity 'and intelligence of this country must j rest upon the record of McKlnley, Roosevelt and Taft. The record for the last fourteen years Is a continuous chain of progress and development, every link of which Is a tangible, pos itive act. To be sure, there is enough of good in his own administration to commend the party to the voters this fall, but a fair and comprehensive view must take in all. No party ever accomplished as much in the same length of time. It took charge of the government in the midst of disaster and failure. Then new and large problems began to multiply. With a crippled machinery of state, a distressed people and' a partially paralyzed Industry, the republican party under William McKlnley began its work of reconstruction. First came the Spanish war, which was suc cessfully conducted, then the estab lishment of the Cuban government, the Philippine war and the suppres sion of the rebellion, the establish ment of peace and order In the islands, and finally, under President Roosevelt, the use of the influence abroad thus gained was devoted to the promotion of peace between Japan and Russia, the settlement of the Cen tral American wars and the forming of closer bonds between South Ameri can republics. Under Roosevelt and then Taft we proceeded to the sola tlon of varied and Intricate domestic problems, such as the elaboration of the reclamation of arid land, the en actment of pure food and meat In spectlon laws, enlargement of the navy, reorganization and Improve ruent of the army, better labor and railroad legislation and the mono. mental world task of undertaking the building of the Panama canal, on which rapid progress is being made. Passing over a hundred and more other Important transactions In behalf of the general public, we come to the tariff, which, on the whole, must be conceded to be a substantial Improve ment over what we had before. ' It muBt be remembered that these four teen years of activity began when the country was In the throes of the panic of the Gorman-Wilson tariff, repudi ated by the democrats themselves. We will obtain further tariff revision along more scientific lines only if the republican party Is returned to power. No party has ever gone before the people of this country with so power ful an appeal. It remains to be seen whether It will be rejected for the ap peal to passion and prejudice, made by the democracy with nothing but a record of negation to support it. Steel Monarchi' Meeting. When the ateol kings of this anii other countries met the other day in New York to talk shop, Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of di rectors of the United States Steel cor poration, gave out the Information that, it was not for the purpose of forming a world combine or making agreements aa to the apportionment of territory. He said: We met aa at a social gathering to talk over our bualnesa affairs In a friendly manner. It la Juat aa though three or four of the leading mor arena of the world had coma together to discuss the affairs of their respective nations. And that is precisely the way many people are prone to look at It. Know ing what tremendous power these steel "monarchs" have exercised in their respective countries, they have a right to believe that there is some thing In the report of projecting a world agreement as to allotment of territory. No feara need be wasted over the thought of a world-wide trust, for the' nations would scarcely tolerate that, since It would Inevitably cripple their own industries and shut off competition with foreign trade, But even Judge Gary admitted some - thing about "better co-operation." There) has been fairly good co-operation between the steel kings already. The market has not indicated any special lack of that. Now, the world will be interested in knowing Judge Gary's definition of co-ODeration in thla rnnnplln if i. . -. 1 1 intra ii M inr. . .wv.u- ,u ' sieei iraae me world over by agreeing to geographical apportion ments between the various monarchs then it might as well be a combine and be done with It. for the effect would be practically the same. It would be to shut off cn ! rnments, iut it would take Vigorous Ir. evJr -e V7 dm,U Uey till fu. , h.BT ett,n their full combined power back of it Puch a principle, once established, would be followed by other lines of trade and the consequences would be most disastrous. There is ample evi dence to support this theory In the record of the. American steel trust, and it Is of such a nature that it ought to teach these kings the lesson that they are courting serious trouble when they undertake to rivet a noncom petitive agreeme.it of any kind on the producers of the world. That Porerty Plea. In bis confession in avoidance to the charge made by Edgar Howard of sharing in the Bartley state treasury shortage Congressman Hitchcock sets up a poverty plea harking back to the hard times that then threw a pall over the laud and compelled him in his ex tremity of holding up his tottering new spaper to sacrifice a large part of ; his patrimony and become a heavy borrower. For thla he thinks he Is entitled to the sympathy of everyone who remembers those dark days or ever had to struggle under the burden of grinding financial obligations. But the parallel is not good. U overlooks the vital point that Mr. Hitchcock's borrowing from Barlley was not In the nature of an ordinary business transaction, but was the con sideration for an offensive and defen sive alliance between' a crooked demo cratic newspaper and a crooked repub lican state treasurer. If Mr. Hitchcock whenr financially embarrassed had been running a gro cery store or a dry goods establish ment, would he have applied to Bart ley for a loan? If he bad, would Bartley have considered such an appli cation with no other security or in ducement? Did not Hitchcock seek money of Bartley because Bartley was state L treasurer and had state funds at his disposal? And, furthermore, as edi tor of a democratic newspaper, did he not feel that he had a club over Bart ley that would make him come across? Did not Bartiey look with favor on Hitchcock's demand only because Hitchcock was running a newspaper whose bought silence and champion ship would help him execute his al ready well-laid plan for farming out the public funds? . Other business men were in distress during the panic of the '90a besides Mr. Hitchcock, yet got no help from the state treasury. Other newspapers even " were enduring hard times and borrowing money to keep a-going and foot the pay rolls, but they accepted no aid from the state treasury. Other newspapers likewise suffering from the blight of business disaster could doubtless have had money from Bart ley without applying, but those that were published by honest and con scientious men would not barter away their convictions or prostitute their columns for a price to shield or apolo gize for the greatest crook who ever held public office in Nebraska. It ia not because Congressman Hitchcock had to borrow money that he has forfeited public confidence and should be consigned to public obloquy. It Is because as editor of a newspaper vested with a sacred trust to protect the public against official thievery he betrayed that trust and sold his news paper for a mess of pottage to a re publican embezsler In the state treas ury. Bartley loaned the money to Hitchcock and. In return, Hitchcock's democratic World-Herald kept mura about Bartley's rascality, defended him when his crime was exposed, went to the front for him when he was paroled and helped him secure his pardon with three-fourths of his sen tence unserved. - No, poverty is not a sin, but poverty never excuses faithlessness nor palli ates dishonesty. If Bartley yielded to Hitchcock and loaned him stolen state money be cause he was afraid of Hitchcock's newspaper, it was a holdup. If the loan was a voluntary, mutual business transaction, it was a delib erate sell-out of a crooked democratic paper to a crooked republican official. The present editor of The Bee real ize! fully tha magnitude of the task he has to keep this paper up to the stand ard set by the late Edward Rosewater, who founded The Bee. The son, how ever, has this consolation, that during his lifetime his father was constantly the target for the same malicious and venomous attacks from Jealous com petitors and scoundrelly political small-bores who never had a good word to say for him until after he had died.

If the situa tion were reversed in this respect the democrats would be protesting still more loudly against the use of the machines. Perhaps it is better, after all. that South Omaha was not annexed before the late census. Had South Omaha's population been added in Omaha's Irate of growth, Instead of being -21 1 per cent, would have been only about 1 16 per cent. Omaha's real population, though, counting those parts that lie in South Omaha. Florence, Benson and Dundee and suburbs is approximately 165,000. Put In Council Bluffs and it gets close to 200,000.

Among the abuses of the service mentioned in the pamphlet are these: "The system presented great oppor tunities for learning nothing and forgetting everything. There la not a single garrl aon In our possessions abroad which does not represent a state of scandalous neg lect. The army system Is not in favor of Kitcheners and "young tins.' IMIef in the right of haredlty to lead still prevails; the teat should be efficiency." Court nuir tlaled for thla exposure Sutor developed Into philosopher. Answering the charge of Insub ordination he said: "Sometimes it Is the duty of an officer to disobey an order. Take the charge of the Light Hrigade, where a man carried out an order that was absolutely wrong and all the world Wondered and that sort of thing. If that fellow had had time to think It over his duty would hue been to point out that the man who gave him that order waa an ass. If you go down to the bedrock prin ciples of military discipline you will find discipline ia the subordination of xelf to a principle, while Insubordination la the sub mlssloti of the principle of selfishness. It is the highest expression of discipline when a man subordinates everythinb he baa In tha world (as I have done) and stands for a principle." ... President Brhga. of Portugal Is a sedate, peaceful mad, a philosopher and a poet, Just over 65 years of age. Philosophy will be of aome help in solving the problems of the position Into which he was catapulted by the revolution. But the muse will be of little assiatance eave as a diversion from the perplexities of hia Job. Most urgent of theue is the financial burdens which were not unloaded with tha mon archy. The public debt of continental Por tugal ia between 110.000,000 and n00,00n,0n0, the former sum being the net debt, and the latter Including a domestlo debt "In posseaaion of the government." A terri torial area about eiual to the state of Maine and a population of 5.423,132 Jointly carry thla extraordinary financial load. The problem of easing the back-breaking bur den and at the same time satisfying the foreign money lender, calls more for finan cial dexterity than philosophy and poetry.

According to various witnessea. Km peror 'William Is beginning to show marked aigna of failure of physical powers. When he visited Vienna this month, it was said by one foreign correspondent, in descrlb. Ing the meeting of the two monarchs: "The German monarch, who looked con siderably thinner, older and lesa animated than during former vialta, greeted the Emperor Francis Joseph with affectionate cordiality and congratulated him upotv hia splendid health. The contrast between the appearance of the two emperors wan gen erally noticed. Of the two the Emperor Francis Joseph aeemed almost the younger and certainly the lesa preoccupied." Fran ela Joseph la over 80, while William is over 60. Tricks turned by lawmakers In the making of laws oft return to plague them. In order to escape the Income tax member! of the French Chamber, three years ago, passed a resolution classing their salaiiai of 13,000 a year aa an "Indemnity." Tliii put the salaries beyond reach of the tax, but under French law an Indemnity la almtlar to private meana and Is liable to aeisure for debt. Many of the deputies who gleefully voted for the resolution are now In the clutches of creditors with their aalarles In hock., An amateur agent for a firm of British contractors seeking tha job of removing the wreckage of the Meaaina earthquake became highly Indignant and wrathful be eauae "Influential cltlzena" demanded a rakeoff on the job.
