Canada swallowed the annexation bogey aa completeljy as some folks took Dr. Cook's north pole yarns.

It is rumored that Premier Laurier has already found a little on his patch. Three parades this year on Ak-Sar-Ben's Btreet pageant program, and every one of them worth going miles to see. How it must make those old '49era grin to watch the struggling aviators trying to follow the trail they marked out sixty years sgo. Those city hall officials evidently believe they should go on all the junkets while they can. Commis sion plan is coming. George Bernard Shaw says the United States is not much of a nation. Which clinches the argument that it Is the greatest of nations. The sudden disappearance . of Hackenschmldt suggests a possible community of Interest between the Russian Lion and Mona Lisa. Thus far the coast-to-coast flight, on, the part of both the Californlan and the New Yorker, appears to be the top-line farce of the season. Our old friend, Nathan Merrlam. ought to feel good enough now to write another letter to each mem ber of the United States senate. To tell Just how to raise a 11,000,000 endowment fund for the University of Omaha is as easy aa rolling off a log. But to raise it Is different. President Taft well says that the tariff bills he vetoed at the extra session were made with blacksmith's tools. They were the product of an endless anvil chorus. Mr. Bryan told the Canadians be never would again be a candidate for the presidency. He has never taken occasion to confide the secret to bis friends on the American side. The people would take more Inter est In the charges against Judge Grosscup, now that they have learned they are preferred by a magazine, If they knew who la behind the msga ilne.

I dinner table or tha banquet board be The overm helming defeat of pre-jcomM n Indispensable factor in pro mler. Laurier and hit rarty on the i moting. at least, formal friendship Issue of Canadian reciprocity with the United States Is Indeed surprising. The surprise is all the greater be cause the reports quite generally had foreshadowed an opposite result, and even the claims of the opponents went no further than a victory by a slight margin. While the Canadian elections had been ordered practically for the pur pose of ratifying or rejecting the rec iprocity agreement and the result must be taken as primarily a decision of that question, various other consid erations enter Into It and help to explain It. It is plain now that the influence of Great Britain to keep every part of the empire In commer cial subservience is much more pow erful in Canada than appears, on the surface, and the enemies of reciproc ity used with far-reaching effect the fear of ultimate annexation, toward which they told their people this would be a step? , What will be the consequences in this country of the rejection of rec iprocity by Canada lies In the realm of speculation. It Is our Judgment that It will be very small, Just as we believed the changes to be expected from reciprocity were largely exag gerated. Politically, President Taft's position ought, if anything, to be strengthened rather than weakened. The acceptance of reciprocity by con gress was a personal triumph of his, and the refusal of Canada to complete the bargain ought to reassure our people that they were not getting the worst of it. Of course, had President Taft put it up to Premier Laurier to secure Canadian ratifica tion first, he might have been saved much trouble, assuming that Canada would 'have decided as it did. The rejection of reciprocity also, it seems to us, vindicates the presi dent's vetoes of the democratic tariff bills, whose only excuse was that they were designed to make good to the farmer what he was to lose by reciprocity. The president can now appeal still more forcibly for the co operation of congress In scientific tariff revision along lines td be laid down by the tariff board. Taft's Eeasons Are Sound. The president's restatement of his reasons for vetoing the three make shift tariff bills put up to him by the democrats and their insurgent allies in the late session of congress is di rect, frank and forceful, and will sat isfy all who are not determined not to be satisfied. He was and Is com mitted to tariff revision along scien tific lines. He had promised himself and pledged the people to work for that kind of revision. He says he could not find it in any of the three bills he vetoed "I could find no ar gument which would satisfy my con science." Yet he is denounced by his critics for not smiting bis conscience and stultifying himself by signing the bills. The opposition claims for Itself the right to do what It calls keeping faith with the people, but it denies the same right to the president. The American people have not strayed so far from fundamental principles of equal justice as to applaud or award such unfairness as that. The coali tionists in congress maintain they were consistent In their tariff con duct. The president insists he was. The president had proposed and the majority of the opposition had ap proved. In the Sixty-first session, the scientific revision plan, which in volved the 'tariff board and it was this opposition, itself, which fixed the date of the tariff board's report ing December, 1911. The president insisted on awaiting this board's re port, the opposition on going ahead without It. Who was consistent? It Is too late for the democrats and Insurgent republicans to make any thing of that argument. The president shows effectually that the tariff bills put up to him were hastily drawn. Ill-considered and, while touted as popular meas ures, never submitted to the people or outsiae representatives for their consideration, as Is customary. They were thrown together in pancake fashion in the house and the only changes made in them were such as would reconcile petty differences be tween house democrats and senate Insurgents, not . from point of principle, but to Insure their passage it was anything to pass the bills. And these are the meas ures the president, faithfully seek ing to bring about intelligent, help at a . . iui, nonesi tariff revision is de nounced for vetoing. Wa mistake If the American people do not rally to the support of the president in his manly, honest course and resent the presumptuous attitude of bis demo cratic critics. Frfll Stomach Lieht Heart. The banquet board has Its place In business, society, politics and even diplomacy. As a bridge of peace it naa spanned chasms of discord be tween men and nations, and where no discord reigned, it has promoted good will and fostered friendship. It may not be the highest compliment to bur spiritual natures to ssy that they are orten best fed through our stomachs, but It is a truth. A full stomach orten makes a light heart. The festal board has a psychological value too great to ignore. The Infant cries when it is hungry, ine smau toy and the grown-up boy each is in a much milder humor when well fed. Hospitality Is never fully expressed without the well-ladened table. In this day of diplomacy, of what, in every phase of life, we might even call the virtue of deceit, the and goodfellowship as the forerunner snd complement of business snd re sults. It is an entirely laudable custom. It saves time in this busy -day and soothes feelings, sometimes illy ani mated. The very fact of men of op posing ideas getting their feet under the same table, partaking of the same viands, in the demand thus made upon common amenities, has its ef fect as a non-irritant and with all the possibilities of such an occasion developed, becomes a prime factor in hearty good will and peace. Why could not the employer and employe, in their disputes, adopt the banquet board as an instrument of friendly negotiation, at least? ' The Task of Reorganizing. While peopie have talked for years of dissolving trusts and compelling them to bring their organizations and operations within the purview of law, only now, following Judicial di rection, the most powerful of these industrial organizations have been dissolved, technically, and are trying to reorganize on what will be ac cepted as a legal basis. But they are finding the task quite equal to the acumen and skill that have made them the great Institutions they are. Reports say that counsel for the Harvester trust and the government are in close consultation as to ways of complying with the law's demands, not trying to evade the law, but to satisfy it to the fullest extent. The Steel trust, it is said, "is making strenuous efforts to meet the de mands of the government, but by reason of the complexity of the situ ation little headway has yet been made." It is a formidable task and a new one, to tear to pieces and build up on an entirely different plan, such gigantic combinations of Industry and wealth. This, of course, strikes the lay mind as more or less of an anomaly and arouses some incredulity. People have come so generally to question every move of a great corporate com bine that they find It difficult now to believe there is anything in the line of technical construction which they cannot easily do. But thle is hardly a fair view. In any event the diffi culty of the task must suggest how vsry far out of plumb with the pres ent .demand of the law our trend of industrial combination had gone. The Sherman law is not new, though our interpretation of its Rr.nnn In We simply have come to a new era. new system In such things, which requires a real effort to live up to it in good faith. "If you were to take all the churches out of the city," declares one of our most prominent pastors, 'real estate prices would slump 50 per cent within year." Doubtless true, understanding It to mean tak ing out all the churches and keep ing them out. We venture to sug gest, however, that an equally great, If not greater, slump would be pro duced by taking all the newspapers out of the city and keeolna them out. "The conservatives are committed to a policy of trade expansion within the empire and a closed door against the United States." That is worse than conservatism; It Is Imperialism and of the kind, which, if carried to its logical results," would set Canada back much more than the defeat of reciprocity could ever advance it. Canada's best Interests demand close contact, commercially and otherwise, with the United States. In building the Nebraska repub lican state platform, the platform makers must have had unconscious prescience when they forgot to men tion reciprocity. A Forget Itl . Bt.

And mis naa so mucn more the appearance of a slaughter than a battle that the sooner we forget It the better. - War Not Complete the Ticket T St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Senator Cummins is unwilling to con sider any other man than La Follatta for the republican nomination next year. While he is about It he may as well pick the candidate for vice president,' thus re lieving the country from any anxiety in the matter and himself of any cause for dissatisfaction. GOVERNORS ON GUARD. ieveiana riain Dealer: it would seem that the governors have taken a wholly proper step to elucidate a difficult prob lem which concerns, or la likely at any time to concern, every state in the union. The three governors selected to argue the matter before the supreme court have it In their power to perform a publio serv ice. New York-Times: The uprising of the governors la defense of state rights might with wisdom and propriety have been dlrectedj into more promising channel. But It is not a bad thing at all that the subject has been brought up la a way to Invite the attention of the people to the lines still existing on the map which de fine the outlines of the states. Some of our statesmen, progressive In another way, have of late shown a disposition to attempt the effacement of state lines. Philadelphia Record. When the people of the United States set about the estab lishment of self-government they were extremely careful in molding their con tltutlon not to set up a federal tyranny to supplant a regal tyranny. They kept In their own hands the great body of their liberties, only surrendering so much as was necessary to establish a republic of free commonwealths prepared for uni ted defense against outside aggreaaion. The unanimous move of the forty-six gov. ernors to protest against further federal Invasion of states' rights seems to show that the mass of the American people have not changed their minds.

The old world is In a moat distressing condition. From the eaatern shores of the Atlantic to the Bering sea. disaster, famine, pestilence and human discontent afflicts nations and people to a startltoj degree, making the struggle for existence uncommonly severe. Look at the map and follow the accounts fc they have ap peared and do appear in the news col umns from day to day. Great Britain Is slowly recovering from the distress snd turmoil of a labor war, leaving in the magazine enough powder to generate an other explosion on slight provocation. The division of the loot of Morocco be tween France and Germany menaces the peace of Europe. Revolutionary out breaks and labor strikes send warnings to the throne of Alfonso and brings the ret-ponee of martial law. The new re public of Portugal manifests signs of fear and fatigue, and is diligently raiding churches and convents for armed con spiracies and loot, while armed bands of monarchists are drilling In spots along the borders. Bread riots In France and Austria tell only too plainly the severity of the struggle for existence. Cholera casts a deadly shadow over parts of Italy, while Mount Etna Is devastating Its crowded slopes In Sicily. Further to the east conditions are even worse. Cholera prevails ln parts of Asia Minor and Is reported to have crossed the bor ders of Russia, where for the moment it Is overshadowed by assassination and terrorist repression. Famine, the oldest Inhabitant of India, Is again abroad I ) that unfortunate land, so much so that the coronation durbar planned to be held at Delhi Vn December has been greatly modified owing to the scarcity of food for man and beast. Drouth has wrought frightful devastation In the district of Gujarat. The great Tang-ste-Klang valley of China, embracing the finest grain lands In the center of the empire, has been overwhelmed by flood and 100,000 persons are believed to have perished. On top of this disaster come revolution ary disturbances which arrest the hands extended with relief. In western Flberla and eastern Russia the crop failure is so complete than tnlmals and fowl are al most given away or allowed to perish in order to save for man what little food Is left. Clouds of grasshoppers are in tensifying the distress. Some disquieting symptoms might be noted in the new world, but they are trifling In compari son with the troubles and trials of na tional neighbors. Hopefal Slarna for Ireland. Justin McCarthy, former chairman of the Irish Parliamentary party, waxes Joyful over the prospect of Ireland soon realizing Its hope of home rule. Writing to the New York Independent he re views the situation so vastly improved by the restricted veto power of the House of Lords and the gTeat change in British publio sentiment In favor of Ireland demands. The moving power lp this change of sentiment he traces to the late King Edward acid asserts that King George Is equally desirous of removing all sources of political discontent. In Ireland. "No Irishman," writes Mr. Mc Carthy, "has ever lived during a time so full of hopeful and happy augury for hl country, and It must Indeed be some utterly unimaginable catastrophe which could now all of a sudden bring those seemingly certain promisee to mere frus tration. Ireland ftt living a ltfe entirely new to her a life bringing nothing but hope and promise.' The Irish people will soon have set clearly and decisively be fore them the task great enough to call for the moblest qualities of the noblest race, and at the same time not beneath the capacity Of any people capable of appreciating the value of freedom."

What Is the matter with American arch itects? Ten years ago Australia decided to build a new capital in the virgin wilderness of New South Wales. Compe tition waa invited from the architects of the world and very tempting Inducements offered. American responses were re grettably few, compared with the number from European countries, a fact which prompted the authorities to reject all plans and advertise again. Competition is now open, with purses of I8.SO0 for the first $3,660 tor the second and $2,450 for the third accepted design. American arch- tects are assured of a shade better than a fair deal from the Australians, la the Kladersrartea Claaa. Ths youthful emperor of China, Just paat fire and a half years, has entered the kindergarten class aa a starter in the educational scheme of Manchu royalty. Before his mother, the empress dowager, was gathered to her ancestors, she penned this command to the youngster's tutors: "At the present time, when intercourse between all parts of the world la freely developed and civilization Is ever increas ing, It behooves them above all to Incul cate a clear impression of the progress of constitutional government during the last few decades, and of the development of sound learning, special stress being laid on. the needs of the day." For a country that has not been bur dened with richea for a century, Ireland supplies a startling example of riches showered on officials. Redmond Barry, liberal member for Tyrone, has vacated his seat In Parliament for the lord chan cellorship, a position corresponding to that of an attorney general bt an Ameri can state, which carries a salary of $30. 000 a year and a pension of $20,000 a year on retirement. When the home rulers get control of the Jobs It will be worth while watching to see If the retrenchment knife reaches the salary or the occupant. So Asiwerlag Deft, Sioux Ctty Journal.
