Oa the Wron? Tack.
Aa chairman ot th Roosevelt cam
paign committee. Senator pixon of
Montana givea definite form to the
colonel' contest for th nomination
hr issuing an attack upon President
Taft and his administration. In this,
we believe, he la starting out on the
wrong tack. President Taft and Col
onel Roosevelt both have abjured
personalities in defining their own
plans for the nomination contest. If
they can afford to refrain from at
tacking one another, their advocate
certainly can.
One or the other, Taft or Roose
velt, is to be the republican nominee
for president and he win have to go
before the people on the record of
the party the policies J inaugurated
by Roosevelt and pursued further by
Taft. President Taft deservea bettor
at the handa of those republlcana
who do not agree with him now, and
so doea former President Roosevelt,
for the country la not going to for
get that it took Mr. Taft upon Mr.
Roosevelt' recommendation. Every
attack, therefor, 'made by Roose
velt follower upon Taft reflects Jut-t
as much upon Roosevelt . -
Suppoie Once More. ,
" 'Colonel Roosevelt has persuaded
himself that no valid objection to a
third term for president Ilea unless
the term are consecutive and that a
consecutive third term 1 objection
able only because the possession of
th machinery of government glvea
th Encumbent ot th presidential of
fice a tremendous leverage with
which to secure renomlnatlon.
Colonel Roosevelt overlook the
fact that the power and preatlge of
th presidential offlc may be used
for th benefit of another besides the
Incumbent, aa It unquestionably was
used four year ago.
Suppose President Taft were serv
ing hi second term, or was content
with a single term, and eager to
name aa his successor th man who
aa hi predecessor bad helped him.
Suppos President Tatt, desirous ot
having hi policies perpetuated by re
storing Colonel Roosevelt to th
presidential .chair, .and willing i to
swing th big (tick to any length to
satisfy that desire.
Supposing this situation, would
th precedent that" bars a third term
be JnvokabI even though It were not
consecutive third term? Or I It
that the third term I bad only when
th man 'in th Whit House oppose
It, and good when th incumbent

MfVle futa th town to th country,
when, as a matter of fact, equally a
great. It not tar greater, advantage
ar possible in th other direction,
from the country to th city. President
Taft baa aald that th whole subject
ot th high cost ot living "I bound
np In this parse) post legislation."
Th point I elaborated by Congress
man David J. Lewis of Maryland In a
speech n th floor of th house.
VI proposition 1 for the govern
ment to Uka over the expres com

Postal department, thus articulating
th farm with th household in town.
He contends that by thla process the
urban householder' living expenses
would be reduced 40 per cent nd th
producer' incom Increased, for
much that now goes to pay for th
tost ot marketing and selling hi
produc would be aaved.
"Th real problem to deal with."
aald B1 F. Yoakum, chairman of th
8U. Louis lc San Francisco railroad,
in discussing this subject, "Is not th
high coat Of living, but th cost of
soiling." And he goea on to show that
It cost ,17.000,000,000 to get laat
year'a farm producta from the pro
ducer to the consumer and that,
therefore, the product netted the
farmer' just 19,000,000,000. Mr.
Lewi make th timely point that
the rallroada must not be blamed for
this, sine they ar In th wholesale

stealing rides on train or are caught
on the tracks. If the tramp evil could
be lessened by this means, all the
better for th move. President Miller
further points out -tho bodily peril of
trainmen and passengers and the de
struction ot property which the rail
roads suffer at the hands of these
trespasser, who, by resisting train
men, meddling with awitches and
burning ties on rights-of-way imperil

Color Line Drawn by Lawyers.
Th executive committee ot the
American Bar association raises a
very delicate point in ousting from
membership in the association a dis
tinguished member of the profession
because bis skin happens to be black.
Although lawyer enough to hold the
office of assistant attorney general
of the United State under appoint
ment of Preaident Taft, the partic
ular colored man la to be denied as
sociation with other lawyers. Irre
spective of relative characters or at
tainments, because of racial differ
ences.
This 1 an anomalous position for
lawyers to take because it Involve
a principle that would be extremely
difficult to defend in a court ot Jus
tice. A Attorney General Wicker-
sham puts It "It can hardly be con
sidered to uphold the honor of the
profession of the law," and "It cer
tainly doe not tend to promote the
administration of justice." No charge
1 mad agatnat th , man's moral
character or legal attainments; the
objection Is purely upon hi color,
rather, untenable ground, for they
would not think of submitting a ess
to a Jury upon such grounds.
If th American Bar association
were a social organltatlon the situa
tion might be differently consid
ered, bat It I th national organiza
tion of lawyers, whose organlo pur
pose 1 "to advance th science of
jurisprudence, promote the admin
istration ft justice, uphold th honor
ot th profession ot th law and en
courage cordial Intercourse among
tb member of th American bar,"
A person Is eligible to membership
who fulfill certain requirement,
none of which refer to color, and all
of which, it Is understood, are more
than met In this Instance.
The American Bar association has,
in our Judgment, committed an
egregious mistake In permitting a
color question to be raised and an
other mlstak in drawing a color line
when the issue had to be met
Gallery-Play Reform.
Tb outcome of th cases result
ing from th sleuthing activity ot our
reform democratic sheriff la' signif
icant aa Illustrating that there I a
great difference between making a
spectacular raid and presenting evi
dence In court to convict
The undisguised purpose ot the
sheriff Was to show how much more
efficiently he could" enforce the law
against llllctt llqaor selling and the
sodsl vll than had th police. But
hi experience I merely a repetition
of that of the police authorities. The
pollc department ' ha time and
agala gone into tb raiding business,
only to have Ita ardor dampened by
failure to convict, or court rulings
in favor ot so-called clubs. Only In
getting the gallery applause- has our
reform sheriff excelled. In the
meantime he ha been careful to di
rect hi attention only to Omaha
ahuttlng hi eye to more flagrant
violations In other parts ot the
county equally under hi jurisdiction.
Th public I requested to under
stand distinctly that the settlement ot
tho suits tor surgical malpractice
was brought about without the pay-
meat of any money as between plain
tiff and defendant. It would be
mighty interesting, though, to know
exactly what the consideration was
and the precise manner ot its de
livery.

, Tramps a Railroad Problem. '
' President Darius Miller ot th
Burlington railroad has appealed to
the governors of th atate traversed
by hi line for co-operation In re
ducing trespassing oa railroad prop
erty to a minimum. Tho who think
there I no oocaalo for such an ap
peal ahould study th statistics ot
railway casualties. In th year ended
June 30, 111. M57 persons were
killed on th railroad of th United
States, and 5,284 were trespasser, so
classed, by. th etatistldaa. That
waa more than halt ot th entlr
number. During the nam year TO, 92!
person ware Injured and not killed
on th railroad and 6,(14 ot the
wer trespassers. These figure do
not include th number of Industrial
accidents. Between 1102 and 111,
(1,0 SI trespasser met death on
Amerteaa railway.
The figures ar impressive
enough to warrant railroads In call
ing for help from tha state to pre
vent trespassing and to justify state
in going to sny reasonable length to
great th help. Xh tret passers ar
It will b remembered that the
National Progressive league, which
