If Mr. Taffs nomination has, averted a national calamity, It has clearly done, so at the sacrifice of Mr. Taft's own political prospects, and. if he realizes this. , he should be, given whatever credit is due to a ,man who destroys himself In order" that he may also destroy another who, he believes. Is a menace to the national welfare. If the esteemed Outlook will, go J back to the .newspaper files, of Au gust 18, 1911, or the day following, it will find this letter,-which its con tributing editor wrote to Alexander P. Moore, editor, of a' Pittsburgh newspaper:. , ,' - New Tork, N. T.', August 18,1811.-My Dear-Mr. Moore: .! very greatJy appre ciate your kind and. friendly feeling, but I ara sure you will understand me when I say that I must ask not only you,' but every friend 1 have, to see to It that no movement whatever la made to bring me forward for the nomination in VI12. I feel that I have a right to ask all my friends, if necessary, actively to work to prevent any such movement. I should esteem It a genuine calamity If such a movement were undertaken. Very sincerely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. President Taft, therefore, was not alone in believing in the possibilities of . a "genuine" or "national" calam ity as a result of the Chicago conven tion. Something happened since August,' 1911, to change Colonel Roosevelt' mind as to the. calami tous effect of a third-term campaign. But If he wag right then, he was wrong later, when he made the most desperate fight ever ' witnessed ' in American politics to secure the nom ination, ' 1 1 - ( ; These last few hot, days in June ' must W July jockeying for a start ' Colonel Lafe young - . must have been, mistaken id that rumbling voice .he heard.' , P'v '-.'

The moral of it is that the demand for humane treatment of convicts does not justify complete destruction of all "the1, safeguards tot 'society against "irremediable criminality. , . The Garden Habit. , Omaha people have ; the garden habit. It is estimated there are fully 2,000 gardens in the city. This probably is a conservative estimate, for by actual count boys, . Inspired by the effort of the boys' department of the Young Men's Christian asso ciation, have an even 1,000. .These boys recently brought specimens of their truck into a big competition, where prizes, were awarded, and the exhibit was astonishing. .Some of the little fellows were not more than 7 or 8 years of age. They had planted and tended their .' gardens themselves, learned how to till the soil on a small scale and make it bear fruit, a fundamental lesson, indeed. ". '" , . . ' - . . The moral and economic sides of this endeavor are obvious. Then there Is another side, which might go under the, general head of civic, for It tends toward a more comely appearance of tne city. These gar den patches supplant weed patches in very many Instances ' If the beau tiful rows of clean, well-cultivated vegetables were not growing there, ugly and unhealthful weeds would be, and directly tbey would die and form an 'unsanitary 'composition, to be cleaned away. So that the garden habit fits into our general scheme of beautifying our city. : . .

Every, now and then a demand arises for censoring the press, but so long as the unrestricted right of cen suring lasts , and is so generally ex ercised the expediency of the censor ship is questioned. ; The constitution provides for a free press responsible under the law for abuse of freedom .

Brooklyn Eagle: Mr. Perkins and Mr. Munsey promise. like a much advertised 5 cent cigar, to be "generously good" to the movement to punish President Taft for daring to prosecute the steel and harvester trusts. St Louis Globe Democrat: Never yet has the republican party consented to wear any man's collar or agreed to look upon his as indispensable. The party will stick to its high mission, and ego tists can make the most of it.

He added: "As a power for good, nothing Is superior to the newspapers. If censored, they would become dull and vicious.' For the most part this "minister Is eminently correct. He certainly Is correct in assuming that the news paper . cannot successfully - be cen sored, and that it would, become dull and vicious if it , were. Who , would censor jt? Somebody with a special interest at stake In spite of all , that could be done. .Would the censors be In sympathy with the paper and Its mission or not! Would they have comprehensive insight Into its affairs? The same old human na ture, with all its frailties and faults, selfish ambitions and Impulses, that edits the papers would sit In abitra- ment as monitors of Its morals. I Methods' of Teaching:. The applicant for a certificate to teach,-school must pass an elimina tion in the,' "methods of teaching," hie to censor the American , press as which is only another term for com mon tense and good judgment. The teacher's "most 'difficult problem is not v in arithmetic or any other branch of book etudy;' It is' in the individual pupil. "Unraveling the make-up of each boy. and girl, so that the teacher may thoroughly understand it and deal with it Is the largest task. A roomful of children of varying nationalities - and. creeds, if not colors, coming from as many differ ent homes, representing, every ehade of social environment, cannot well be handled like a lot of sheep, and woe to the young woman who at tempts to handle them that way. Not necessarily a different ' rule, but a different method tor . nearly every child, often becomes necessary. It not, then "methods of teaching would .hardly , form a part of the teacher's examination. The school would simply lay down one method and let It go at that. School teaching. Is hard .work! It calls for learning, wisdom; tact: and diplomacy with which the remunera tion' is scarcely commensurate. But there Is the condition and the teacher must mtet It. "The success,- not only of herself,but largely of. her pupil, rests with her. Else " why " wtll one hody of children do well .with one teacher and poorly, .with- another I This often happens?

Culture and Narrowness. The proposition has been laid down that the more cultured a man is the more broad minded he Is. Of course that ought to be true. Nar rowness certainly it no part of cul ture and' education, even, though some persons who have gone through the routine of "getting an education" come out exceedingly narrow indl viduals. But they are not, strictly speaking, cultured people. . They have , got the veneer of education without Its deep refinement: Narrowness often asserts Itself in' personal prejudices ' between In dividuals. Jenkln Lloyd Jones tells of a man who, after expressing his dislike of another, was asked. "Do you know him?" He admitted he did not, yet disliked him. That was not fair.; Nobody should condemn fellowman without v knowing '. blm The law detnands most Intimate and accurate knowledge before it will condemn. Men should be as fair as the law tbey make themselves. But it is narrow not to Ukt man, From start to finish The Bee't diagnosis and predictions on : the famous water works purchase case have been borne out by the stubborn logic of events, even down to the in stallation, of the author of the "Im mediate and compulsory" bill In a $5,000 job on the public pay roll as manager of the plant.
