Two Estimates of Taft.
People who are getting their lm
pressions of President Taft from the
third term, party's candidates for
president and vice president may be
interested in reading what two other
well known American citizens think
and say of the chief magistrate. As
neither of these commentators is
supporting President Taft, his view
is not to be construed as the result
of prejudice. Here is what one said
In a public speech in Minnesota:
I want to pay my tribute of respect to
the president of the United States. I do
not believe that any man in the United
States who knows his facts can question
the patriotism or the integrity or the pub
lic purpose of the-man who now presides
at the executive office in Washington.
The man who said that was Wood-
row Wilson, the only man with even
a remote chance of defeating Presi
dent Taft in the coming election.
Here is the other expression by
Henry Wade Rogers, dean of the
Tale law school, who is a supporter
of Governor Wilson:
Mr. Taft Is a fine type of gentleman and
I believe him the most misrepresented
and the least understood man In our pub
lic life. , .
It should be remembered, too,
that it is the man who recommended
Taft to the American people who la
chiefly responsible for this misrepre
sentation and misunderstanding.
No Mixing; Rural and City Noises.
The presentation In the city coun
cil of an ordinance to the effect that
cattle and hogs in herds of more
than five shall not be kept within the
city limits 1b new tribute to Omaha's
greatness. What distinguishes the
transformation of the village into
the town, the town into the. city, and
the city into the metropolis te the
gradual differentiation of noises
that are heard by inhabitants, and
to mix these noises up is an unpar
donable offense against the proprie
ties. No village would feel comfort
able without hearing the cackling of
the hens, the quacking of the geese,
the lowing of the tattle, and the
squealing of the pigs. A town must
be pretty big to substitute an alarm
clock for the rooster for its morning
call. And the city person who gets
used to street 'car , gongt, factory
whistles, pavement clatter and auto
honks is outraged by poultry yard
noises and dairy, herd tinkles. A
city has no more business to mix Its
ndisea than a man has to mix his
drinks. : .v.'', ;

A rat war on coal transportation
is threatened on, eastern seaboard

Eringinff Out the Hoarded Cash,
One of the arguments by which
the administration urged congress
to enact, a postal savings bank bill
was that such banks would' bring
into circulation the ' hoarded cash,
rather than divert money from, the
ordinary ' savings institutions ' and
banks of deposit Theodore
Weed, directoor of postal banks, told
the recent bankers' convention in
Detroit precisely what had been ac
complishedthat while $25,000,000
of savings had flowed into the new
depositories, not one cent had been
taken out of the old ones.
That simply means that the coun
try's available capital has been aug
mented by 2S,000,000. And the
postal bank is yet merely in an ex
perimental stage, so' far as its de
velopment is concerned. The princi
ple, of course, is not longer to be re
garded as resting on uncertain ex
pediency. ; Tht next problem for the
government to face will be the best
disposition of the accumulations as
they begin to multiply in millions.
Bankers think this money, loaned
by the people to the government.
should be sub-loaned to the bank
ers, but other demands will arise
nd th beet is will hare to be de
termined. ': ; ...1,. . ,
Fruits of Education.
In the course of his opening ad
dress to the students of the Univer
sity of Nebraska, Chancellor Avery
said:
If the people of the state healtaU at all
to provide these things, (better grounds,
buildings and other equipment), It Is a
natural hesitation arising from their de
sire to feel sure, that the students are
worthy of these advantages. By success
ful study, by clean living, by maintain
ing High Ideals, you can do more than
anyone else to make them ready, even
anxious, to contribute the material and
moral support necessary.
Very true and very well said. Ne
braska has a right to expect and
does expect returns on its invest
ment in the university in the life
work ol the young men and women
it educates. It expects the college or
university course to Influence these
students for right ' living, not only
broadening their scope of learning,
but also deepening their devotion to
moral principle. Else what were the
purpose or the use of education?
Why spend a period of fruitful years
in acquiring high ideals if not later
to maintain those ideals?
By impressing these lessons on
the young people entering the uni
versity, the chancellor does much
toward making , them understand
and appreciate the exceptional ad
vantages they are freely enjoying.
A man who accepts a commission
as an officer in the army Is expected
to get somewhere near the firing
line when the fight is on. and refusal
to "front" is as running away. 1 It
takes a sort of courage to go over
to the enemy publicly, but thero are
those who are Just as disloyal
though still skulking around the
camp.- . ,.., . ..... ..

People Talked About
The Interest which
vergary of Antietam aud the earlier cam
paigns of the civil war has excited in
this country finds an interesting paral
lel In the comments In the British,
French and, indeed, in all the European
newspapers on the centenary of the great
Napoleonic disaster, the retreat from
Moscow. It Is exactly a century this
month since Napoleon entered Moscow,
and September 8, the anniversary of the
terrific conflict of Borodino, has Just
been observed by Russia with proper
ceremonies.
But not alone for the French and the
Russians, but for all the great nations
of Eusope save only the British, . the
Moscow campaign has vital Interest
In that great army, the largest , which
any general commanded between 1812 and
1864, and the largest which was em
ployed In a single campaign between the;
Napoleonic period and the Russo-Japanese
war, Prussians, Austrlans, Saxons,
Bavarians, Dutch, Spaniards and Ital
ians, as well as Poles, marched with the
emperor and perished in the snows of
the fearful retreat or in the crossing
of the Beresinai.
For the Napoleonic era the Russian
campaign marked at once the zenith and
the end. In the swamps and in the riv
ers of Russia the grand army left the
larger part of the veterans, whose tri
umphs had extended from Madrid to
Palestine, and whose officers had been Lsecond empress.
tlnent The revolt of Europe, the liber
ation of Germany, the compression of
France into the limits she has never
again exceeded, all these great move
ments which made nineteenth century
history had their inception in this the
most complete of all military disasters.
For the French the anniversary serves
once more to recall the bravery and the
daring of the marshals.- of Ney, Prince
of Moskwa, beyond all others. For Rus
sia It recalls a triumph which has never
been equalled by Russian soldiers, and
the memory of the gallantry of its
troops at Borodino may seem to mitigate
a little the bitterness of the recollec
tion of the defeats at Sebastopol and
Mukden.
Oddly enough the two principal com
batants of 18111 are now alles. Napoleon's
prophecy that in this very year Europe
would be Tartar or Republican had 'not
been realised, but Franc and Rufcsia are
Joined In that durable alliance n always
sought and for the moment realized at

dent of the Napoleonic period is the

CROSSING THE EQUINOCTIAL
Weather Conditions Float Astronomers' Assertions.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat
The astronomers tell uathat there is
no scientific basis for the notion that
the "crossing of the line"' brings any
meteorological disturbance. They have
been telling us this for a long time. But
what's the use? We have been having
tempests along the coasts, off and on,
for two or three days, and storms of one
sort and another have taken place over
a large part of the country. The 90
degree temperature has dropped to 70
degrees. From the torrid son we have
suddenly been transported Into the frigid
regions. An abrupt break has taken
place in the heated spell which had lasted
so long that it seemed that no end would
come, and that the legend of billiards
last winter was only a myth.
Around midnight September 22 the ac
tualor, rather, the apparent dash of
the sun across the equinoctial took place,
and, for the moment the days and the
nights all over the globe, except at the
poles, were, theoretically, of equal length.
From this time onward until a few days
before Christmas the nlgfrts will. In a
steadily Increasing degree, be longer than
the days. .This Is true for all of the
globe north of, the equator, which, means
the , greatest and most populous part of
It . No longer will the heat accumulate
and hand a reserve over to the succeeding
twenty-four-hour period. The store of it
which we get in the shortening days will
vanish in the' lengthening nights. More

after sunset Vega Is in the senlth, while
Altalr is almost directly south, and high

and farther to the westward at suc

they will leave us. Fomalhaut however,

THE EQUINOX.
When, storm clouas prance
Across the sky.
When dead leaves dance
And cold wind!) sign;
When rains down pour
' And drench "pretty lrncks;"
Don't blame fcre'r Welsh
. Blaine the Equinox.
We have discontent
And much complaint
When the weather is rainy.
And when it aint; '' '
But Bre'r Wesh has : , , .
Kings ex, please note,
And the equinox is
The present scape-goat.
All .work and no play
Gels dull, remember.
And why should we grumble-'
.If in September
Poor old Bre r Welsh
Gets down from thi box '
And hands the lines . t
To the Equinox. -
And when' cold weather comeS
Sooner than it should,
And th furnace consumes
All your kindling wood.
Don't take any chances ;
In- thin summer frocks. . . .
For you can't run a bluff
On the Equinox. ..:
