October' Dual Eole.
October plays a dual rolo in the
drama of the seasons. To vegetable
life It is the month of death and de
cay, though Its somber dissolution
pauses to add the tint of beauty and
romance to nature. The poets have
aung their sad, sweet songs about it,
blending the one thought, as Bryant
expresses It in "The Death of the
Flowers," so familiar:
The maloncholy daya are come, the pad-
. drat of tha year,
Of walling wlndn and naked wnoda and
mcadowa brown and aeer:
Heaped In the hollow of tha grovea, tha
withered laavaa lie drad.
And Riley's:.
Old' October' pint' nlh gone,
And the front la com In' on
l.lttlo heavlvr every day
I,lk our heart la thatawayt
Iavea l rhanain' ovarhead
Back from green to gray and red.
Brown and yellow with their atem
l.ooxfnln' on the oaka and e'ms;
And tha balance of the tree
Clttln' balder every breee
IJk the head we're acratchln' on!
Old October' purl' nigh gone.
Dut October J not death and de
cay in the other role it plays In the
commerolal and -industrial world.
There it is the springtime of new
hope and new trade, of Increased
profile aud quickened induatry. The
bualness world has had its decline,
ita "valley of the shadow" in the hot,
long daya of summer; now it comes
to autumn, to October, for the fresh
dewa of new life. "Exports are
larger, domestic trade Is steadily
growing, orders for new stock are
exceptionally heay," ao run the
trade bulletins. And even this year,
deapite a foreign war or two and
many domestlo labor dleputes and an
unusually dry and hot summer, old
October Is playing its role well, lay
ing up for Itself many a rich encore
when the final curtain falls.
Death Bates and Sanitation.
What makes a healthful center of
population? Docs climate or arti
ficial improvement? Both have their
effect. But modern methods of san
itation must cut a larger figure than
the naturul conditions, to Judge from
what has been done on the Panama,
according, to Colonel Roosevelt. In
writing of what wonderful trans
formation has been wrought there, he
says that Dr. Coifiaa, in chargo of
sanitation. Is "turning one of the fes
tering, holes of the world Into what
Is almost a health retort."
Surely conditions on the Panama
originally were anything but whole
some or healthful. If within so brief
a period a section recking with the
germs of disease can be converted
Into a most healthful locality, where
Instead of life, being menaced. It Is
benefited by eurrouudliiKf what re
markable Improvement is possible In
one of our more modern continental
communities! And docs It not stand
to reason that Improved banitary ys
tenis furnish the key to the problem?
ve speak or high nd low death
rates. What causes the variations?
Is there an American city naturally
more unhealthful than tho Panama
waa and la there an American city
not susceptible to as high sanitary
development?
Ture water, the bekt aewerage sys
tem, clean streets, pure foodthese
are all elements of health, at least
In conducing to health. Yet there la
thie thing to be cousidered: in most
American cities men and women are
living Uvea Inimical to every law of
health, sedentary, perhaps, or at ex
resalve pares, or sscrificlng strength
to fleeting pleasure. These are things
beyond the help of the best sanitary
tegulatlons. They count tremend
ously In tho death rate, too. Dr.
Wiley nay pure food and puro drugs
will work n vast extension of the
average American life. longevity,
doulitlesa, will, be promoted, but we
csn offset the benefits of pure food
and pure driiRs by Imprudent living
Just as really as wo can good sanita
tion. What we need to cultivate In
our modern American life more than
anything else In common sense tom
pernnre, moderation in all things.
Speaking Paradoxically.
Tho indictment frequently brought
by his enemies against President
Taft Is that he la not a politician,
and for proof citation ia made of
various occasions when he has flown
right Into the face of adverse public
sentiment. Yet this very courage, re
gardless of personal conaequences, It
self commands admiration. Wo called
attention to an Incident of this kind
when the president boldly declined to
arcedo to the demand of a delegation
upenklng for the farmers organiza
tions of the country, threatening him
with political annihilation unless he
abandoned his efforts for Canadian
reciprocity. In Its latest Is.sue the
Outlook rends n similar lesson from
the acene in Denver, when Mr. Taft
bluntly Informed the Public LandB
convention in session there thnt he
absolutely disapproved of their pro
gram for tho disposition of our
natural resources. Snya the Outlook:
It la rharnctrlatlo of Mr. Taft when
he hn something to say that he know
other pfoli will not ngree with, to
ehooH ns ait occasion for saying It one
where tlierw will l plenty of such people
prent. Ko. on thin occasion fie em
phatically end explicitly declared hi be.
lief In the leaning system, and told riH
audience frankly that In opposing It he
thought they ware wronfc. The presi
dent' willlngnrsa to sav the unpopular
thing la paradoxical one of the reasons
why he has won for hlmaolf wide per
sonal popularity.
It may be paradoxlcnl, but it none
theless is human nature to repose
confidence in the man who takes you
Into his confidence even though he
differs with you. Conversely, no one
puts any dependence in a person who
weatbervane-Iike points in all direc
tions in order to go with the par
ticular wind that happens to be blow
ing. Paradoxical, perhaps, but that Is
what makes peoplo believe Implicitly
In Mr. Taft'a rectitude of mind and
honesty of purpose.
Taking- Thing-i as They Come.
One need not be a fatalist to get
good for himself and others out of
the habit of , taking things as they
come. He n?ed not depreciate the
efficiency of will In accepting results
as he finds them and makln the
beat of them. It is not a matter that
Involves fatalism or determination,
except insofar as the one grimly
recognizes facts, accomplished to be
unchangeable and the other that one
event acting upon another deter
mines results.
But the simpler philosophy is that
after a thing has happened aud has
come to Its finality it is settled and
no amount of worrying or wishing
or willing can change It. The only
alternative then is to leave what Is
done aud look ahead. If one lose the
Brat heat in the race of life he may
win the second and eventually the
race If he doea not stop to repine
over the preliminary. Halting there
to dwell and dilate upon mishaps
that no amount of lamenting can
possibly retrieve, he loses what he
might win by picking up courage
and going ahead.
Taking things as they come makes
for happiness and health and they
In turn make for well rounded suc
cess. Life is made up of one thing
after another, as has been often
stated, and if it were not that each
event came crowding In so fast upon
the other people might find time to
sit down and cry over the milk they
spill. But we see. as it Is, that not
only does the crying unfit us for the
task Just ahead, but It docs not
recover the milk.
Maiy Anderson's Return.
" For the first timft In twenty-one
years slnee her retirement fron the
American stsge. MIs Mary Anderson
(Mrs. Navarro) returns, not to act
Ing, but to .participation indirectly in
a play upon our stage. She comes
from her Kngllah homo to attend the
flrat performance of a play she helped
to write. Rho has been back to her
native -land more than onto in the
two decades, but not on theatrical
business. She la sure of a warm wel
come, for as an actress she was not
only popular with the American peo
plo, but beloved, and there Is little
doubt thst this affection for her re
mains In tho bosoms of the old
friends.
When Miss Anderson left tho stage
In this country it pleased certain
British papers to coujure up and pub
lish a story, which since has been
utterly repudiated, to the effect that
Misa Anderson was driven off the
American stage by "calumny'' aud
"bitter malignity" of her owu peo
ple, and It develops that thla wanton
falsehood haa beu revamped on the
occasion of the last return of the old
favorite. The New York Tlmea re-
prlnta thla from the Londou Globe:
Mlna Mary Anderson renounced tha
etaga and her native America after a
campaign of calumny In tha Tinted
Riatea which broke down her health,
and which. In It bitter malignity, re
main en of tha worst biota on the rep.
uiatlon of tha American praa.
It requires little acrutlny on the
part of some British papers to dt'
cover "blots on the reputation of the
American press." This is one that
never existed, for the story Is not
true, it has never been charged up
to Miss Anderson at all, and she hss
not suffered In the affection of Amer
leans by it. Old theatergoers w ill re
call how generously the people and
the press treated Miss Anderson, be
cause of her acting and also because
of tho purity and sweetness of her
prlvste life and character. She had
her shortcomings on the stage,
though her natural talents were dis
tinguished and sho is said always to
have enjoyed the fairest of criticism
from those who wrote of her acting.
It is such lofty characters as Miss
Anderson's the stsge needs, and
Americans have never withheld their
cordial, even enthusiastic, praise and
adulation from one anywhere near
like her.
Justice Harlan.
With tho death of Justice Harlan,
f ha oldest member In years and ser
vice on our supreme bench, the last
link connecting that court with the
anto-bollum era Is broken. Justice
Harlan was appointed to the high
tribunal by President Hayes in 1877
from Kentucky, where he wan born
seventy-eight years ago. Ho had
served with the union army during
the civil war; he had been a whig,
but later became a republican; twice
defeated for governor on the repub
lican ticket, and once presented by
Kentucky for the party's nominee as
vice president. As one of a group of
southern republicans boldlug to a
broad-gauged view of the present and
future, he helped to advance sectional
and national interests by identifying
them and unifying them, and held
aloof from the narrow prejudices of
the day.
Justice Harlan was a large man
In every way large In atature, and
large in outlook, and In his third of
a century on the bench has been a
real force in molding the epoch-making
Judicial decisions promulgated
during that time. Just now he hap
pens to be moat in the public mind
because of his dissent In the Stan
dard Oil and Tobacco trust cases,
wherein the so-called "rule of rea
son" was laid down as the test of
compliance with the Sherman anti
trust law. While his position as
stated by, him in vigorous and em
phatic language has furnished prac
tically all the arguments used by
those who have been decrying that
decision, hla most important contri
butions will be found to have been In
settling other, and more far-reaching,
questions of constitutional law. His
work as one of tho arbitrators on the
Bering sea tribunal, which brought
about the amlrnble adjustment of our
differences wiih Great Britain, ia to
be credited with materially further
ing the cause of peace through an
object-lesson that will be often
pointed to by arbitration champions.
ml
Following out the appropriation,
by the late legislature another build
ing is to be erected on the down
town campus of the state university
at Lincoln, which will be money
thrown away whenever the university
is relocated on a more suitable and
roomy site, as It must eventually be.
Still, we may hope the day will come
In the dim and distant future when
public money Is spent with as much
care and foresight as private money.
Chairman Plattl of the democratic
county committee says he was not in
terested in registration frauds last
year. But Mr. Plattl waa deputy
county attorney, with all the prose
cuting machinery in his hands, last
year, Just the same as he is now.
Can the fact that his law partner,
'Johnny" Reagan, ran for state sen
ator on tho democratic ticket last
year have had anything to do with it?

President Taft recently remarked
that it was pretty hard nowadays
to tell who Is a republican and who
is a democrat. Possibly yet in the
campaign of 18S8. they were readily
distinguished by tho 'black and white
hat bands.

the newly-appointed bishop of Salisbury,

Mr. Bryan is again assailing th Integ
rity of the United States supreme court,
and through the column of the Com
moner enda this challenge to President
Taft:
"Mr. Bryan challenges him to make
public th written and verbal recom
mendations upon which be appointed
Justice Whits to the position of chief
Justice over Justlc Harlan, and th rec
ommendations, written and verbal, on
which he appointed the Justices whom he
has placed on the supreme bench. Did he
know how they stood on the trust uues
tion. or wss It purely accidental that all
of hl3 appointees took the trust side of
the ttucstlonf"
A ciear implication of Improper motives
In the elevation of Justice White and the
appointment of Justices Lur ton, Hughes,
Lamar and Van Devan'ter. They must
have been sounded on th truat question.
How otherwise dd It hppen that they
all "took the t. ust ide of the question?"
No wonder President Tatf ia moved to
Indignation. It Is an Imputation not only
on his ow n motives In Judicial appoint
ments, but upon those of the court In In
terpreting the law and "for mere polit
ical purposes," as lie said yesterday.
This cool lii juu assumption of what was
to be proved will not eacape notice. Did

PRECEPTS OF SOLOMON.
King Solomon, the atory says, had many,
many wives
He married them In bargain lots of twos
and threes and fives:
He lavished costly gems on them and fed
them spices sweet.
And showered priceless violets, with sing
ing, at their feet.
Tha story says that Solomon wss wis
beyond his age
A match for all designing maids or ladies
in a rage;
He kept n perfect, even keel upon the
Nuptial Sea.
And that was going come, my friend, you
grab It atraigh from me!
The" story says he built a house a mr.st
magnollous place
And not a woman Interfered or dared to
show her face.
Or ordered changes In the stairs, the
linen chests or shelves
(The married men who've built a house
will have to pinch themselves!)
The atorv says but why go on to publlsn
and revamp
The wonder things that filled the life of
this plnch-hltling champ?
The atovy tells the bigger things that
made his biggest hits.
But when It comes to smaller truths, whv,
there the story quits.
The Home Precepts of Solomon do scarce
apply to me
I've but a single wife against his nineteen-
sixty-three:
I long to get the simple truths about thla
famous guy.
And learn how he explained It when hie
