The dsy will surely , come when Colonel Rooaevelt himself will ap preciate the difference between hla unselfish frienda who counselled agalnat hi present venture and his friends," with personal objects to serve or grievances to redress, who dissuaded him from bis own high re solve not to run again. Hla beat frienda, we believe, are those, who. like Senator Lodge, for Instance, and Senator Root and others, wer eager to hare him leave unbroken his ring ing declaration to tha American peo ple that "under no circumstances" would be accept another presidential nomination. And had it not been for men, disgruntled at President Tart, some of them dislodged from public office by him for good , and sufficient reasons had It pot been for the Impetuoua dealre of these men to "get even" It la reasonable to believe the luster of tha former pres ident' fame and name would now ba undiminished.

Having failed In Ha attempt to dictate tha terma of tha International loan to China, Ruaala baa decided not to participate with tha Unltf States, England, Germany, France and Japan In that concert In other words, Ruaata has no use for tha far east except a a field of exploitation, and thla financial arrangement, of course, contemplates nothing of that sort Dispatches from 8t Peters burg aay that "Ruaala la Inclined to see in tha loan another and mora dangeroua form of tha achemaa par sued by, American banker in China some year ago and which threat ened strategically Russia' whole po sition in tha far east." Rusaia'a whole position In tha far eaat haa looked steadfastly to the dismemberment , of tba Chinese em pire for. tba ultimata aggrandise ment of Ruaala, while the only mo tive actuating Amerleaa influence in tha far east haa centered about an opea door . that would s. give tha UaltM State a equare deal along with the other power. Indeed, tha concert of tha five leading power In a $IOO,000,vO loaa for China' up building as a republic must be as disheartening as it 1 disastrous to Russia'a whole position In tha far east" To the world, however, such a united movement Is most propitious.- Twenty per cant of thla loan la to go toward strengthening China'a military arm, aa additional causa of discouragement to Russia'a military aaplratione. It Is a matter of much satisfaction that Japan refused to follow Rus sia's trample In declining a share In this loan. ; Japan strengthens Its own position and relations with the leading powers by thus choosing be tween them and Ruaala, which has been singing a atrea song to the mikado for some time solely because the cxar felt that it would pay him to keep oa terms of friendship, at least, with, his little conqueror in the east, as-ha could then faava freer scope for the exercise of hla prowess against China when tha time came. With (trained relations with Japan, it 1 easy to aee how Rassla's plan might not go forward so readily, Thla actios et Russia la la entire ac cord with its established policy in djplosaaey and detracts nothing from THE BEE: OMAHA, the general causa of International good will, ainca Rueata . bad con tributed nothing to that eauae. A Kebnuka Object lesion. Although of all the states Ne braska is reputed to have the small est percentage of Illiteracy and the greatest amount of Intelligence among It Inhabitants, It I particu larly cited In the report of the presi dent of the Carnegie foundation aa aa example of wasteful expenditure of energy along educational lines. In this report President Prltchett, argu- ng for the necessity of higher stand ards of scholarship and better ful fillment of obligations to. teachers, deplores that denominational, state and local rivalriea have dona so much to swell the list of weak, and even superfluous, colleges. It la In thia connection that ba uses Nebraska aa an object lesson: In Nebraska, which had a population In I9M of LlK.a. ther are thirteen cot- feces and unlvarsttlaa, all ta th fertile and populous southeastern quarter. On of the thirteen Institutions Is th well- supported and areeaalbly located state university, another la an university eon- ducted by th Jesuit father, and a third Is a privately endowed Institution. Each of ta remain In ten colleges was found.) by a Protestant denomination. Is con trolled by It and appeal to th denom inational constituency tor support One of thee eolleces sires in Its catalogue as means of estimating th number of Its collet students. Th other ntn have a total colter enrollment of Ml, or . an avaras of nlnety-thr aoliec students each. Th total enrollment of all th de partments of thee tnetltuttona, apart from th summer schools. Is I.0G1, or an averace of let each. It thus appears that thee eollsces. founded In days of pioneer enthusiasm or of boom prospect, sad maintained by efforts of denomina tions and th sacrifice et Individuals, are ehlafly encased In preparatory. must and business school work rather than la collece education. To reduce thee tea wtrussllng oc4 loses to two or three would relieire many conscientious people from sever financial pressure and would crest I y Improve th level of higher duostlon la Nebraska. These may bo rather unpalatable observations, bnt they are worth, at leaat, aerloua eonalderatloa by all of One point which Dr. Prltchett passe over, however, j offer om mitigation, and that ta that Nebraska I yet comparatively undeveloped and sparsely populated, and that some. If not all, of these educational Institu tions may have a legitimate cbance for growth, yet there must be gen eral agreement with him that the two or three universale supported by tba itate, or out of ample endow ment, have tba start, and muat keep tha lead, and that tha others must always occupy a relatively subordi nate position. Wtak Spot la that Excite Bill. Chairman Underwood baa urged hla Income tax bill chiefly upo the ground that It would make up for th $55,000,000 of revenue the coun try would loae If hla free augar bill became a law, of which there 1 little or no likelihood. But critics of the bill are skeptical of - tt revenue producing power, chiefly because It seems to leave a loophole tor the escape from taxation of aome of th largest fortunes. The bill taxes alt Income above It, 000 a year, where th recipient I engaged In business for a profit or livelihood. Thla, tt ta maintained with seemingly good ground, let out th idle rich who are not engaged actively In business for a profit or livelihood. With this weakness In th bill It can never become a popular meas ure. So long aa tb medium salary of 15,000 and 11,000 1 to be taxed and th Income front a fortune of 1100,000,000 or IS09.eO0.00O re mains exempt. Chairman Underwood, wo Imagine, I going to hare a hard time explaining hla bill. If thla la one of th schemes aa astute party leader Is depending on to land him tb presidential nomination we tear folk wtll begin to discount his shrewdness. Tha bill sprung to suddenly calls tor more consideration than baa been given it or can ba given on tbe eve of a national campaign. Bengtor Hltchoock'a World-Herald object to th persistent charge that all tha force back of Harmon are In spired by corrupt Wall street wealth and privileged special interest and that all the unselfish patriotic ele ment are enlisted with Mr. Bryan, yet that la th vary course habitually pursued by th democratic organ with reference to lta republican an tagoulat whom It always paints la tha blackest ot colors, no matter what scalawags it may ba supporting tagged with the democratic label.

In Kansas, Calif or ala aad In other benighted reglona, they dtvtd each set of taxes tat two payment each eta months apart. That this hi a real as sistance to taxpayer is proved by th fact that they usually pay th taxes la the divided sum.' They can pay at first payment If they wish,' tn fact are usually allowed a small commlsstoa for prepaying th extended payments. I think thst tb maximum Mr. Ur (that it Is easier to pay- a large sum at ones than in divided payments) is new with htm and grows out of st least two considerations to gather In th money at once and make lets work In his office ta other word making two records for himself.

When It wss finally reported that the convention had de clared for secession. General Mills, with iry apearsae ef utter disgust, rx- otalmad: "Hell's broke loose tn Oosrgis." Whether General Mill at that time or iginated thla energetic. It not elegant. phrase, I de not know.
