The Outlook adds these -words of
its own: "...
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

the futility of reform by hysteria or

But it does not overshadow the fact
that these ambitious, but law-defying,

cause by bringing it. with themselves

Overworked Sympathy for Criminals
Every' once In a, while .we find
something In Collier's Weekly : that
elicits unqualified approval,' and in
this category the current' number
gives us 'this: ; " ' ,
' Next to foolish technicalities, .the great
est cause of the almpst total . (allure of
our' criminal laws la Indiscriminate sym

In, Illustration .Cbllier'a'; cites1 a
case in which a young man who com
mitted murder and was sentenced to
hang eight -years ago secured commu
tation of the sentence, and . six. years
later a full, pardon, and then, six

murderous outbreaks in . our Ne

feiture' of hklf o' dozen lives, may be

. 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. : . .
I The Young Men's Christian asso
elation shows forth in very practical
effect id conducting work of this
kind and for Itself it invitee the at
tention or the boys, whom it may
easier lay Its hands upon as young
men; a few years, later. This Intro
ducing of f the. little boy. to Mother
Earth. is, in. its moral toning, mighty
wholesome. The whole enterprise is
most-commendable.

Springfield Republican: Boss Barnes

that the convention "began with acri

Brooklyn Eagle: Mr. Perkins and Mr.
Munsey promise. like a much advertised

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.

it would to censor a bolt of light
ning." 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? "The teacher
who studies her pupils Individually,
who, with" dinitr;'but kindness. bnv

sting judgment as between pupils,

of natural consequence. So tht-ut

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.
