T,le testimony of Thomas Fortune Ryan before the senate investigating committee to the effect that he put in 45O,0O0 into the democratic na tional campaign funds in 1S04 pos- Hesaes more than passing interest to us in Nebraska. Air. Ryan insists that his contribu tion was exclusively for the purpose of clearing up the committee's debts, so we may let that be as it may. But it was in this campaign of 1904 that the consignment of $15,000 of Wall street boodle was dumped into Ne- baska through the agency of Mr. Bryan's brother-in-law, "Tommy" Allen, not to carry the state for Parker, -for the failure of the demo pop fusion on presidential electors made that impossible, but to elect a democratic legislature that would send Mr. Bryan to the senate. When the lid was removed from this pot four years later, and the suggestion made that it was ."tainted money," Mr. Bryan promptly offered to repay it if it should be traced to Belmont or Ryan, but was content to let the offer rest when Mr. Sheehan assured him that it came out of the commit tee treasury. The present Ryan confession shows that Sheehan was merely beating around the bush, and that the money sent to Nebraska was really Ryan money, whether con tributed by him direct or made good later under the theory of paying of a debt. . It is plain now that had the $15,000 not been handed over to "Tommy" Allen, Ryan would have had to put in $15,000 less: , : f Base Ball and Its Vernacular.

Manager James Callahan's Chicago team of the American league retained the local championship which it won laB,t year by taking the final game of this year's series with the National leaguers. Of course, a base ball fan, espe cially keen to catch a point, might make oiit from that that the Sox had beaten the Cubs again, but he would 'be left to conjure over it, nevertheless. Base ball and its ver nacular have come to stay and not one without the other. Might as well try to divest politics of certain pecu liar terms and expressions as to talk base ball except in its own nomen clature. ' Nor is it damaging to pure diction. Rather it might compliment the viril ity of the language, whose power of resistance has survived all the col loqulalisms of its day, some of them not only lacking the exhilarating tone of base ball lingo, but really debilitating In. their, effect.. y ; . . , boliln Backward Iks Day InOmalia C0MP1L&D r DOM OK.E PILE'S) r 1 ,OCT. 23.

Congressman Warburton of Wash ington will ask the next .congress to rotnr the tobacco tax of 1873 to provide revenue for good roads. He has laid out a system by which, he says, adequate funds, could be raised without either imposing a hardship oh the tobacco user or curtailing Its consumption. He kindly' directs at tention to the historic fact that tax ing luxuries has never restricted their use. He would first construct a military highway across the conti nent from one state capital to anr other, then he would divert the line of buildlhg to ", the''' national parks and lay- out a few boulevards, and then take -up the matter of laterals until he had criss-crossed the coun try with the most modern system of thoroughfares, and also provide a maintenance fund.

Standing before a committee of the United States senate yesterday. Medill MoCormick, a rich young man who haa helped to finance and manage the Roose velt campaign, charged that the murder ous assault on Mr. Roosevelt was incited by the "falsehoods of character-assassins and liars like Charles D. Hllles," who was formerly secretary to President Taft and Is now chairman of the republican national committee. The rantlngs of a half-baked young per son like Mr. McCormlck would be of no importance if they were not so com pletely in harmony with the conduct ot the Roosevelt managers since Mr. Roose velt was shot by a madman. Dixon, Pin chot, McCormlck, Cochenia and a whole chorus of demagogues have been seeking to Inflame the public mind against better men than thfcmaelves, and create the im pression that Schrank's Insane deed waa inspired by political "abuse" of Mr. Roosevelt Now It happens that there has been a good deal of abuse In this campaign, but most of it originated with Theodore Roosevelt and his followers. No other candidate for president ever Indulged In such sweeping denunciation of his op ponents. No other candidate for presi dent ever attacked a president aa Mr. Roosevelt has attacked Mr. Taft No other candidate for president ever ap pealed so frankly to the passion and frensy of his audiences. To select a few of many examples: Day after day Mr. Roosevelt has com pared President Taft to a "crook," to a "thief," to a "burglar," to a "pirate," to a "pickpocket," to a "receiver of stolen goods" and Hiram Johnson, Mr. Roose velt's associate on the ticket, has trav eled from one end of the country to the other calling President Taft "the most Taft delegates from Alabama. June 11 he declared that Mr. Taft's atti tude toward the presidency "comes dangerously near being treason." June 15 he asserted that the contest between himself and Mr. Taft for the nomination was a "fight between hon esty and dishonesty." June 15 he Issued a statement that rang with the words "theft" and "stealing" and "fraud." June, 16 he issued a statement that rang "naked thefts" of the national commit tee, and t!ie men who had "earned Mr. Taft's gratitude by stealing for him." He said a majority of the national com mittee had "practiced political theft in every form from highway robbery to petit larceny." When Mr. Taft was finally nominated he publicly Insulted him as "the bene ficiary of successful fraud," and his de light on his recent western trip was to describe the president of the United States as "a dead cock In the pit." As for Woodrow Wilson, Mr. Roosevelt has branded him as a "tory" and as the nominee of the bosseV and In his recent speech In Chicago he devoted most of his time to inflaming the pas sion of foreign-born voters against Gov ernor Wilson on the basis of a para graph in Governor Wilson's "History of the American People." The whole third party campaign has boen a campaign of violence, abuse and vilification for which we can find no justification. We mention these matters now only because of the scandalous and demagogic attempt of Mr. Roosevelt's political man agers to bring about a reign of terror against everybody who has opposed his election. Mr. McCormlck's shocking as sault upon Mr. Hllles Is a fair example of their manners and methods, which humiliating figure in American hlBtory." j cannot be allowed to go unchallenged. Even the day that he was shot Mr. It is on a par with Mr. Cochem's as. MORE KOOM FOR MOTORISTS. Admlulon ( Automobiles to Na tional Parks. Boston Transcript. Motorists read with delight the news that Secretary of the Interior Fisher is in favor of admitting automobiles to the national park in the Yosemlte valley. Un doubtedly Mr. Fisher would not stop there, but would also admit them Into the Yellowstone national park and the rest of the great federal playgrounds of the west. It is surprising that these places have been shut so long to the Inquisitive motor car, and it is all the more surprising when It is realized that the arguments for its exclusion are the fame kind of arguments that opposed the railroad trains. People have urgnd, for example, that the motor frightens the horses. Impregnates the woods with the odor of gasoline, and so forth. But the westerner is finding that this ia really Inhospitable, and that ev.en the "broncs" can accustom themselves to automobiles, while the pleasure of the humans who can cover miles of desert. in hours instead of days is Increased a thousandfold.

Activities in Army Circles Matters of Interest Gleaned From Army and Navy Register. Aviation Affair. The Army Aviation school will be transferred for the winter from Col lege Park, Md to Augusta, Ga., about November 15. Augusta is selected for the winter work of the school as conditions there were found satisfactory, while the school was at that place last winter. After completion of the experiments that are to commence at Fort Riley, Kan., November 1 with the control of field artillery fire from aeroplanes, at least one of the two type C Wright weight-carrying aeroplanes that are to participate in these' experiments will be sent to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where an aviation station will be main tained. The old-style aeroplane that has been in 'Use in Texas has been trans ferred from San Antonio to College Park, where It is used in practice work Later a new machine will be sent to San An tonio. One aeroplane now is in use in the Philippines, and another soon will be sent to those islands. Shooting at Air Craft. i Captain Frederick B. Hennessey, Third field artillery; Second Lieutenant Henry H. Arnold. Twenty-ninth infantry, and Second Lieutenant Thomas DeW. Milling, Fifteenth cavalry, of the army aviation school at' College Park, Md., left Washington last week for Fort Riley, Kan., where they will participate In the work connected with the experi ments that are to commence at that Place on November 1 with the control ot field artillery fire from air craft. Two type C Wright weight-carrying aero planes and appurtenances were shipped from College Park to Fort Riley for the experiments. One of these machines will be equipped with experimental radio telegraph apparatus for sending mes sages from the observer In the aero piano to the fire commander below. One radio section of signal corps field company D at Fort Leavenworth, has been ordered to proceed to Fort fclley for the experiments. , Absence of Offleera. The' absence of officers from their com- Kmands, especially of captains, is the sub ject of remark in the annual repon ui the Inspector general of the army. This subject has' received the attention ot the inspector general's department for several years, and emphatic protest has been made concerning the number of officers absent from their organisations. ' It has been urged that it was particularly lm portanjf that captains of the Une should be with their company. At times bat talions have been commanded by a lieu, tenant and, naturally, the systematic In ..m.xrtnn of troops Is hampered to a great extent General Arlington also criticises. the lack of interest on the part of some commanding officers In the field efficiency of their commands and in this connection says: "It is reported that all command ing officers have not arrived at the point where they look upon field training as a serious matter, except upon unusual oc casions; and the desired results can hardly be looked for until all commanding officers are held to strict accountability for the field efficiency of their com mand." Retirement of Officers. Brigadier General George S. Anderson was placed on the retired list on October 16, upon his own application, after over forty-five years' service." Only two re tirements for age will occur in the army before the end of this year, those of Col onel Francis M. Mansfield, Second in fantry, on November 11, and Brigadier General Edward J. McClernand on De cember 29. Brigadier General James Allen, chief signal officer of the army, reaches the retiring age on February 13 next. Of course, there Is considerable speculation in army circles as to what officers will be appointed brigadier gen erals to succeed Generals Anderson and McClernand. It Is generally assumed, In view of the assignment of Brigadier Gen eral William Crozler, chief of ordnance, to duty as president of the army war college, that he will be transferred to the line to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of General Anderson, and that Colonel Rogers Birnie, now on duty as acting chief of ordnance, will be made chief of ordnance with the rank of briga dier general. Of course, there are many candidates among the m colonels of the line for these places, among them being Colonel Alfred C. Sharpe of the infantry, who la on duty with the militia of Ohio and who is understood to be backed by militia Influences of that state. Colonel George P. flcrivtn is the only officer of that rank in the signal corps, and It Is generally believed that he will be made brigadier general and chief signal officer on General Allen's retirement. The next officers of rank in the signal corps are Lieutenant Colonels William A. Glass ford and Frank Greene. The latter reaches the retiring age on March 16 next and it is understood that he will be granted leave from about November 5 to date of retirement. Therefore, Lieutenant Coi onel Greene does not enter Into consid eration in connection with the vacancy. Major Samuel Reber Is the senior officer of his grade in the signal corps, and if neither Colonel Scriven nor Lieutenant Colonel Glassford are selected, it ia prob able that he will be made chief signal officer.
