The Boyi Still Marching: On. '
In the city of Rochester more than
30.000 veterans of the Grand Army of,
the Republic are assembled In their
national encampment, being the forty-
fifth annual gathering of the kind. The
boys In blue are still marching on, but
they are marching on fast. The lines
are thinning at the rate of more than
100 every twenty-four hours, 3,000 a
month, or 36,000 a year. Not many
years more before the last drumbeat
will roll off Into silence for these brave
men who preserved the union and
freed a race of slaves. That Inevitable
will be a sad day In this republic, but
yet a glorious day, for the memory
and example of these patient patriots
will never die with them. Today, as
the nation looks back upon the forty
six years elapsed since the civil war it
sees the real achievement, which it
could not see then. It always takes
the retrospect of time to reveal such
transcendent glories.
And the Grand Army of the Republic
what of its part In helping ua to see
the full purpose and results of the
war? It la beyond our power to de
termine. Only thlg may be said, that
the veterans have themselves done the
most to heal the breach, to cure the
wounds, to soften asperities and to
reunite. They have Btood as valiantly
the defenders of the nation in peace as
In war, building and not destroying, ad
vancing and not retreating, promoting
and not debasing. They have made a
living epic of Lincoln's Immortal mes
sage: It la rather for ua. the living, to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining that
these dead shall not hav died In vain.
The sons of the blue and the sons
of the gray fighting In the trenches
together against Spanish oppression,
gome of them led by "Fighting" Joe
Wheeler; heroes of the north strewing
flowers on the graves of heroes of the
south; a thousand veterans of McDow
ell's and Beauregard's closing In to
clasp hands over the fiftieth anni
versary of Bull Run these are only a
few of the dramatic proofs that the
Grand Army of the Republic has prac
ticed the precepts of the great Gettys
burg speech, thereby giving to this
nation its most effective citizenship.
The Remarkable Waning Summer.
Residents of this part of the country
who live to become "oldest Inhabi
tants," may hark back to the year
1811, from early in June until, at
least, near September 1, for one of the
most remarkable stretches of weather
they ever experienced. 'Other periods
in late years have been hotter or dryer,
but no period has been hotter and dryer
together. For excessive heat and ex
cessive lack of rain, we rather think
some records and precedents have been
set. The last real rain in Omaha fell
a little before the merry month of
May concluded its merriment, though,
happily, all sections of Nebraska and
some other states have fared better.
For once, Omaha has apparently been
an extreme point. It usually misses
that.
Another remarkable thing about this
season has' been how close and how
often we could come to rain without
getting any, and another is the abrupt
change from very hot to very cool. It
has been a summer of trying experi
ences, trying on people's patience,
though if it has taught us the utter
folly of complaining about the weather,
perhaps its ordeal has not been in vain,
even for obvious results. If it is "an
ill wind that blows nobody good," then
maybe folks can come complacently to
the time of laying out their good bard
money to lay in their hard coal for the
season that Is soon to take the place
of this one. Hot summers might be
much easier to endure If they could
only fasten folks' minds on the thought
or - memory 6r anticipation of cold
winters.
Taft'i Two Triumphs.
President Taft achieved two dis
tinct triumphs during the late extra
session of congress the passage of the
Canadian reciprocity bill and the state
hood bill minus the Arizona recall.
Regardless of the merits of his position
in either case, these triumphs stand
out as distinct and notable. They were
achieved because the president took a
stand he believed to be right and held
Immovably against every influence and
pressure brought to bear. He appears
to better advantage in these two In
atancea than at any other time in his
entire official career.
It required courage to say to the del
egatlon of farmers that visited him
that no matter what the future might
bring as a result to him, he was going
to remain irrevocably for reciprocity
with Canada. So did it take courage
to denounce the recall of Judges as
"legalized terrorism," "pernicious in
its effect, destructive of independence
in the judiciary and Injurious to the
cause of free government," and after
vetoing the bill admitting the two
states into the union to complete his
victory in congress's approval of his
position.
Tip to Juvenile Courts,
An Illinois Justice of the peace re
cently ordered, as the court's sentence,
that the parents of several naughty
boys, give them sound thrashings and,
to see that the order was literally
obeyed, sent his constable to the re
spective homes of the defendants. The
constable reported to his honor that in
each case the dictum of' the court had
been handsomely and even elaborately
carried out. Added to this penalty was
the judge's warning to each boy not to
repeat the offense upon pain of more
severe punishment.
Possibly here is a tip or a hint to
Judgea who sit in juvenile courts. If one
may presume to offer such tips. It
often happens that boys sre haled be
fore juvenile courts upon chargea rail-
lnR tor some port of exact discipline.
only to be given a little mush and
milk lecture and turned back Into their
neighborhoods to do their mtBcblef
over again, or they are meted out pun-
Ishments for trivial offenses that would
more nearly fit capital crimes. Some
of the criticisms of the Juvenile court
are based on such proceedings. No sane
man would urge undue severity la the
treatment of mischievous boys, but
unless the boy Is to get the Idea that
the court Is a huge Joke, soma sem
blance of correction has to be adminis
tered. It fs the misfit penalties that
have led many good people to take so
little interest in the whole Juvenile
court movement, a reform, which.
Inherently, Is full of possibilities for
good.
Business Side of Commission Flan.
Interest manifested in the proposed
commission plan of government, on
which Omaha Is to vote next week.
Is gratifying as showing that our
people are keenly alive to the need and
Importance of Improving the business
management of municipal affairs
wherever possible.
A tabular exhibit of city revenues
just prepared and issued by the city
comptroller offers some figures that
are particularly in point.
The actual value of taxable
property in Omaha is given at $164,
167,720 and the assessed valuation on
a one-fifth basis at $32,888,644.
The proceeds of the tax levy for all
purposes, including schools, is $2 -020,291.
The additional revenues from mis
cellaneous sources brings this up to a
total of $2,326,762.
The total aggregate of outstanding
bonded indebtedness of the city is $5,-
995,000 and the aggregate of outstand
ing school bonds Is $1,445,000, making
a total of $7,440,000 without count
ing water bonds lately authorize!.
The volume of assets and liabilities,
of Income and outgo, of the municipal
corporation will be grasped only by
studying these figures and absorbing
their meaning.
To conduct efficiently a business of
this size calls for the best organisation
and most up-to-date methods. That
is wnat tne commission plan is ex
pected to provide.
Death of Judge Cobbey.
The sad death of Judge Joseph E
Cobbey comes as a deplorable after
math of the primary election, in which
he was one of the leading candidates
for a supreme court nomination on, the
republican ticket. It is reasonable to
suppose,' or rather an irresistible con
clusion,' that the stress and strain of
the political canvass ' which he con
ducted hastened if it did not bring
about the coudltion to which he suc
cumbed. Whether the effect upon his
physical constitution would have been
the same had he been successful in his
candidacy must be a subject of mere
speculation. Had his death occurred
after a nomination, a complicated
problem might have been presented in
filling a vacancy on the ticket thus
created.
Judge Cobbey's high standing as a
Jurist and as a public man was amply
attested by the handsome vote he re
ceived in the primary election, in
which he came so close to nomination
In competition with some of the
strongest men of the bench and bar.
While his chief constructive work con
sisted in compilation and annotation
of the statutes, that very contribution
will prove a lasting one and make his
name one oft quoted in the law books
for many years to come.
Governor Aldrlch is convinced that
candidates for office spend too much
money on advertising to get nominated
and elected and will ask the legislature
to limit the amount by law. Our ob
servation is that they all try to work
the newspapers for free advertising.
In other states the outlay for political
advertising la recognized as perfectly
legitimate and indulged much more
liberally than ill Nebraska.
Mr. Bryan a protest against the

present at that meeting and who were

A cartoon was published about the
beginning of the late extra session of

Representative Hay, chairman of the
house military committee, 1 In, receipt of
numerous replica from army offlcera to
the questions propounded concerning the
relative merits of the three-year aa com
pared with the five-year enlistment period
In the military organization. Mr. Hay sent
a series of seven question, the text of which
has been published in the columns, to all
army officers outside of Washington whose
rank and length of service were likely to
have furnished them with experience under
both periods of euliatment. The statistics
derived by Mr. Hay will be tabulated and
the results made known at the beginning
of the next regular session, when will be
reported from the military committee to
the house the bill which provides for cer
tain reorganisation and amalgamation and
which Includes a return to the five-year
period of enlistment. Mr. Hay expresses
satisfaction with the results so far mani
fested. New Cavalry Eqotpment.
Arrangement are being made for the
practical test In th field of th articles of
the new cavalry equipment, recommended
by a board of offlcera of which Colonel
Edward J. McClernand, First cavalry, is
president. It is now proposed by Colonel
McClernand to have two large troops
placed at his disposal, one to be equipped
with the old equipment and the other to
carry the new equipment. The commands
will be of similar stse. and it Is expected
they will be ready to march and maneuver
about September 7. The program will I be
left to Colonel McClernand, who will take
the two troops on a march of at least 600
miles and possibly 750 miles. There will
be road marching over all kinds of coun
try, concluding with drills at rapid gaits.
The cavalry equipment board will, at the
conclusion of this marojj, be able to make
the final recommendations regarding the
equipment of the mounted troops. The re
port will come to the War department for
approval.
Army Concentration Plan.
Plans are being developed by the general
staff of the War department for the con
centration of the army at large stations
properly situated for military purposes. It
will take some time to develop the details
of this arrangement. Estimates ar being
prepared of the cot of helter, which, ac
cording to the present plan, will be tem
porary In character. The estimate for the
army for the next fiscal year have been
completed, but If It shall appear that con
gress is favorably disposed toward the new
scheme. It will be an easy matter to amend
the estimates. On the appropriation of the
money by congress, there will be no delay
on the part of the army In transferring
and concentrating the troops. The Idea, in
general. Is to construct compact large bar
racks, which may hold an entire regiment
and locate these barracks near the large
towns where most of the commissioned
officers may find accommodations and re
ceive communications of quarters. By this
means there will be saved the cost of con
structing quarters, excepting In the case
of these officers whose preaence on the
military reservation Is necessary at all
times. It Is General Wood's Idea, also, to
keep the cavalry and field artillery garri
sons more to the south in those sections
of the country where forage Is cheap,
where the horses may be kept out practi
cally throughout the year, and where the
cost of building tiding halls and stables
may be greatly reduced. It is desired to
establish, moreover, garrisons attaining the
proportion of divisional commands. In
the end this concentration of troops would
be, of course, a great saving In expense
for the maintenance of the army as com
pared with the existing conditions; but It I
by no means certain that congress will
approve of the proposition. Its opposition
to the plan. will be derived from the same
quarters as that which has produced suffi
cient influence at the capitol to frustrate
all endeavors of the War department to
abandon useless posts and reduce the cost
of the army.
