Taft on the Wiley Case.
President Taft has, no doabt, dis
appointed many of his more captious
critics by his decision in the Wiley
case, which the government's chief
pure food expert hails as a "com
plete vindication." Already certain
anti-Tart men and papers had Jumped
to the conclusion that the president
would decide against Dr. Wiley and.
probably, request his resignation, so
they had prepared to make some
more political capital out of the case.
No one disposed to do the presi
dent Justice, of course, will impute
his action to a fear of criticism. He
showg very plainly by his most ex
haustive study of the facts that he
came to his conclusion from convic
tion and .not a motive to placate
anybody. We believe that .his de
cision happens to be popular, but
that is only an Incident, bo far as the
president Is concerned. It takes un
common effrontery to say that he
has not been the staunchest friend
of the pure food laws and their faith
ful administration. He intimates
very pointedly in his statement of
this case that issues much broader
than personal disputes and conten
tions are Involved, which may lead
to some cleaning up, or out, later,
perhaps, when he returns from his
present western tour. He is not
overlooking the powerful influence
exerted to destroy the power and ef
fect of our pure food and drug laws,
but gives these interests to under
stand that so long as he can stop
them, they will not succeed in their
plans.
That ought to be assurance enough
for the people, even for the most
reasonless Taft antagonists. That is
what the country wants fearless
and common sense enforcement of
sane laws. It Is not so much con
cerned in the personal fortunes of
this official or that, so long as Justice
la done and the public welfare sub
served. The unfortunate aspect of
this whole case is that bad blood
should have been exploited to make
a mountain out of a molehill.
Political Advertising Once More.
The ethics and obligations of the
newspaper with respect to political
advertising, especially in connection
with the system of nomination by di
rect primary, continues to be a topic
of current discussion. A letter writ
ten and published by Representative
I. D. Evana suggests that the adver
tising columns of the newspaper
ought to be absolutely closed to po
litical quacks the same as they are
to medical or financial quacks, de
claring: If, In matters of business, newspapers
and magazines protect the Interests of
their readers by excluding from their
columns fraudulent and misleading ad
vertisements, why Is It not a greater
obligation to guard the reader against
misleading political advertising? Next
to the natent medicine ads and the claims
of medical specialists ' some of the" po
litical advertisers are the biggest of
fakes, that get into the' newspapers.
We would really like to see Mr.
Evans buy a newspaper and try the
experiment he proposes for the ben
efit of the rest of us. Our own opin
ion la that If the newspaper would
conscientiously perform Its duty to
advise Its readers as to the relative
merits of candidates for political
office, there would be no necessity
of drawing the line on political ad
vertising except at the point where
it Is libelous or Indecent. On the
contrary, the newspaper is only one
vehicle of publicity through which
the political buncoman may attract
attention of the voter, and his arbi
trary exclusion from this avenue of
campaigning, no matter how good
the grounds, would be utilized by
him to arouse public sympathy by
posing as a victim of malice or con
spiracy, and the reaction might win
a nomination where other efforts
would fall. The same principle is
Involved In the publication by the
organ of one political party of the
appeals and arguments in behalf of
the candidates of other political
parties, whether aa news reports or
for pay In the advertising columns.
If the public halls are free to all who
caro to hire them, the mails open to
anyone who can write a letter and
affix a postage stamp, and handbills
and posters easily accessible as pub
licity agencies, closing the advertis
ing columns of the newspapers to
political mountebanks would accom
plish nothing. It la far better. In
our Judgment, to let all the office
seekers have their say in the adver
tising columns and let the newspaper
on Its own account fulfill its duty
conscientiously aa a monitor to the
public.
England and Keciprocity.
England's opposition to reciprocity
between Cauada and the United
States Is not baBed on the belief tbat
annexation would logically follow,
but rather on the more substantial
desire to Increase Its own trade and
diminish ours with the Dominion.
The talk of annexation is only a hoax,
indulged In tor what effect It will
have on the unthinking. England has
In mind that in 1910 Canada's total
Imports came to 1378,000,000, "of
which S223.S00.O0O was for Ameri
can goods, which left lees than 1153,-
000,000 for the rest of the world,
showing England's share as neces
sarlly small.
Tbat is not according to the British
Idea of the relations of the mother
country with Its colonies, and It is
pleased still to regard Canada as one
Of Its colonies, though only nominally
so. Britain hopes to do with Canada
what It has done with New Zealand,
or, perhaps we should say, it hopes
to do "to" the United States In
Canada what It has done to It in New
Zealand. We are steadily losing trade
with that country, whose foreign
commerce Is as steadily Increasing.
Our losses are ascribed to the prefer
ential tariff which went Into effect in
New Zealand in 1904, since which
time England has been gaining
ground we lost. The total Import
trade of New Zealand in 1910
amounted to 182,851.733, of which
the United States contributed the in
significant sum of $6,795,937. And
we seem to stand little chance of
Increasing that unless we can effect
some tariff changes that will neutral
ize this preferential, which runs
against us.
Britain has conceived the belief
that Its chances with Canada, as
compared with ours, would be better
without reciprocity. There is a ques
tion as to that, possibly, but there Is
no question of Canada's expanding
its trade with the United States much
faster under the Impetus of favoring
tariff concessions.
"Mike" Harrington tries to get an
excuse for swallowing Harman, whom
he denounced as a railroad tool be
fore his nomination, by charging now
that the railroads likewise helped to
nominate the republican candidate
for railway commissioner. This last
charge "Mike" cannot, in our opin
ion, sustain. But he has shown him
self able heretofore to crawl through
a mighty small knothole, and can
doubtless do it again.
A "governors' special," containing
exhibits of the states in the Western
Development association, is to tour
the east as a traveling exposition to
attract emigration and investment.
This is a direct outgrowth of the
Omaha- Land Show, promoted by
The Bee, which goes to prove the
far-reaching influence and inestim
able value of this enterprise.
"Mike" Harrington wants our new
presidential preference primary law
suspended by special dispensation In
favor of Mr. Bryan, in order not to
embarraGS him as a delegate-at-large
to the democratic national conven
tion with Instructions from the yeo
ple to vote for some one h does not
approve. Well, what do you think
of that?

THE INDIAN AND CORN.
Proper Idea to Be Ks pressed In Pro
posed Indian Memorial.
Penver Republican.
Congress has pledged aid to Rodman
Wanamaker's campaign for the erection
of a great statue of an Indian In New
Tork harbor, but It Is to be hoped that
any "wild west" feature will be frowned
upon when the designs for the memorial
are considered.
The Indians period of warfare was
short much shorter than the white man's
has been. The white man has always
been a fighter, but the Indian was a
man of peace until the tribes were pressed
back upon each other's territory by the
advancing hordes of white sattlers. Then
began the Indian conflicts that have
created the popular impression that the
Indian Is primarily a son of Mars.
A few days ago, while in Denver, Gen
eral K. H. Pratt, for many years head
the Carlisle Indian school, suggested
that If any memorial to the Indian Is
raised In this country let It sow the
Indian giving the white man his greatest
gift corn. Malae is the Indian's gift to
his conqueror, and it Is a gift greater
than gold and precious stones. The corn
of the Indian has proved to be worth
more than all the fabled gold of the seven
cities of Clbolla which Coronado sought
so Industriously. Corn bas proved the
agricultural bulwark of the nation. Elim
inate It from the crops of the United
States and there would be a sorry decllns
in the agricultural ststlstlcs of which the
country la so proud. Even now the De
partment of Agriculture la considering
making corn the officii il agricultural
erotism of the nation

A Famous Spouter
Periodical Oatharat of Mount
Ktita, Its ftnuny Slopes and
Crowded Population.
Ktna'i Warning- Notrs.
Every three or four years on an aver
age Mount Etna lifts the lid and with
moke and fire and thunderous sound
warns the teeming population on Its
slopes and foothills that the time to move
has come. The warning Is Etna's regu
lar way of doing business. Between the
mount and the Inhabitants clustered
around It there exists some degree ot
brotherly good will, so that while the
volcano frequently destroys material
wealth of great value. Its mortality
record Is not worth mentioning. Period
ical eruptions vary greatly In volume and
force. The most destructive outbreaks
In the last century were In 1S79, 1SS6 and
In 1!j2. There was an angry outbreak
of smoke and ahes in 1906, which quickly
subsided, and again In March, last year,
while the tourist season was at Its
he'lght. The present outbreak Is already
a serious one, the outflow of lava having
reached the railway stations on the north
side, the limit of the flow in 1879.
Life on the Slopes.
The slopes of Etna, with an area of
more than 400 square miles, support a
population more dense than that of any
other portion of Sicily or Italy. There
are sixty-five cities and villages In the
entire area, and the number of In
habitants which obtain an excellent
agricultural living from the fertile lava
beds totals more than 300.000.
On the summit there is a heavy fall of
now and rain and, contrary to what
might be expected, this does no give
rise to numerous streams. The small
stones and cinders absorb the moisture,
and springs are only found on the lower
lopes. Sufficient water Is retained by
the cinders to support a rich vegetation
wherever the surface of the lava is not
too compact to be penetrated by roots.
About Etna, some distance above Us
base, runs a railway on which, as in the
case of the line about Vesuvius, towns of
from 10.000 to 30,000 people, with . many
smaller, are strung like beads. The base
of the mountain Is roughly a circle of
some ninety miles. It covers more than
half the area of Rhode Island. Popula
tion Is dense 'jecause Etna lies in the
fruit region fronting the east.
"La Bella" Catania.
Mount Etna towers above the fine city
of Catania, now, since the destruction of
Messina, the second city of Sicily. The
town Is at the southeast base of the
mountain, and more than once has been
overwhelmed by an eruption ot the vol
:ano. The earthquake that destroyed
Messina two and one-half years ago did
little damage at Catania. The city has
always been famous for the magnificence
it Its buildings, and on account of this
and the beauty of its situation it Is known
as "la bella."
It is not the height so much as the
tremendous extent of the mountain that
has Impressed tourists. Its base spreads
out almost twenty-five miles, and from
there to the summit it Is almost a per
fect cone. At certain seasons the sides
are covered with snow half-way down.
The crater is 10,000 feet above sea-level,
making Etna 'the loftiest volcano In Eu
rope, and the highest peak In Italy south
of the Alps
How Etna, Spouts Fire
Describing the appearance of Etna In
the eruption of 1908, a correspondent from
Taormlna wrote:
"Nothing could have looked more peace
ful than Etna on the afternoon of my
arrival here. The sun went down behind
It out of a clear sky, its outlines becom
ing blacker and more obscure, until
finally swallowed up in darkness. From
outward signs it was the same sleeping
beauty that It had been since the last
eruption In 1899. In the morning April
29 there was a change. The peak was
enveloped In vapor, which It took only a
few seconds to observe was smoke, not
cloud, but even then I did not realize that
there was anything unusual until I no
ticed the excitement ot the Italians.
"Smoke was coming from the crater at
the summit, but by far the larger part
from the east side of the mountain, a con
siderable way down, while now and then
would come a rumble, sounding like can
non far away. Later In the forenoon the
vapors from the topmost cone ceased, and
the smoke swirled out black and menacing
from lower down, taking the shape of a
funnel, and rolling seaward on the wings
of a westerly wind.
"The sight was as novel to natives as to
visitors, and perhaps more full of mean
ing. All day Jong thay kept stealing away
from their work and running to the house
tops or other vantage points to watch the
changing aspects on the mountain, but
they could not tell by day whether the
volcano was in eruption.
" 'Walt until night they said. 'Then if
lava Is flowing out, it will show red
through the darkness.'
"So Interest Increased toward dark, and
as the shadows thickened, word went
around the town:. 'L'Etna fuma! L'Etna
fumal' True It was, the giant mountain,
after ten years' truce with the Inhab
itants of its fertile and expansive slopes,
was again belching forth lava Jrom the
earth's Inwards, though to what extent
or with what disaster, one could only
conjecture.
"From Taormlna It appeared as would
a huge bonfire on a hill perhaps a mile
away, which glowed red and yellow and
now and then flared up as if some one
had thrown on fresh brush. But when
one considered that the burning patch in
the darkness was not one. but almost
twenty miles away, he realized that what
he saw was a roaring furnace, and that
what to the eye seemed gentle flickers
were, In truth, huge masses of molten
lava spouted many feet In the air, the
raault of tremendous convulsions In the
depths below."

To Attain Success
The typewriter operator who thinks one thing nnd
does one thing secures a better result than il her
thoughts are divided.
A keyboard with a key for every character and
the keys arranged in straight lines so simplifies
the operation of typewriting that accuracy i ; se
cured without mental strain. 1
r
On the SMITH PREMIER keyboard there is a
key for every capital letter, a key for every p rjall
letter, and a key for every character. To print any
letter or any character tho operator strikes one
key once. j
Nothing could be simpler; therefore' anyt img
moro difficult is a handicap.
