SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1907.

Typographical errors are not uncom- mon, even in the most carefully edited newspapers. While the writer himself sometimes uses a word or an oppression he did not intend, more often the fault as due to hurried typesetting and pos- sibly careless proofreading. Many of the mistakes are so palpable that the paper will not apologize or explain. but sometimes an explanation is necessary, especially where there is an error in proper names. We have been somewhat amused at the following editQrial ex- pianation in The Portland Oregonian of one or these slips:
 "Mr Smiths Two Ambitions was a headline that appeared in The oregon ian yesterday. It was written MT; MT writing was not plain. Newspaper men know how these things occur. The headlines are seldom set up by the compositor who sets up the body of the article. and the proofreader may miss the connection. The incident oc- CUTS. the editor eXclaims, and then the fatal facility of mistakes takes next time some new direction. If the re- cording angel Is as attentive as some fin his notes for Judgment day.
 We should say that the writing could not have been "very plain'' when the compositor set up smith" for Lowell" ;" but it was good in the editor to take the blame on himself.

The Youths Companion Calendar for
 I00S

The publishers of The Youths Com panion will, as always at this season, present to every subscriber whose sub scription is paid for 1908 a beautiful Calendar for the new year. Four paintings by artists of distinction are reproduced in the four panels of the calendar by a process of color-printing which has been recently brought to re, rnarkabIe excellence. The first of the panels is an inspiring sea scene, full of the beauty of the wide ocean and sky. and the joyous rush of the home ward bound slip. The second is fine cattle piece The third pictures an old mill at Zaandam-typically Dutch tn treatment The fourth panel. depicts a Girl with Roses"-a charming face exquisite in color and expression. All the pictures are worthy of preservation long after 1908 has passed into the good old times.

Some of the Kansas people are hav- ing some doings this week. Friday and Saturday being the fiftieth anniversary of the assembling of the first Free State Legislature. The pro-slayery men lost control of the machinery of government and the abolitionists had everything their own way. It is not necessary now to speak of the methods employed to obtain that control. for 1t is ancient history, but the survivors of that first Legislature are going to get together and celebrate. Whether the event was something to be proud of depends on how one looks at 1t.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.

It strikes us that Secretary Taft has laid the foundation for lot of trouble for himself by charges he made in q
 speech delivered before the Philippine
 Assembly on October ls. the full text
 of which has just been made public over here. Tn that speech he charges that
 the Philippine tariff bill in the last Congress was killed by the Senate Com
 mittee on the Philippines at the behest of tobacco and sugar interests" This
 is a serious charge which reflects on the
 honesty and integrity of the following present and ex-Senators:
 Republicans--Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, Eugene Hale of Maine, Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana. Julius
 Long of Kansas, Charles Dick of Ohio. George s. Nixon of Nevada, Frank B. Brandegee of Connecticut, Democrats---Char ries A. Culberson of Texas. Fred T. Dubois of Idaho, Ed ward W. Carfaack of Tennessee, James B. McCreary of Kentucky, William J. Stone of Missouri.
 Here are men of prominence and standing, some of whom still occupy seats in the Senate, and this is very
 grave accusation MT. Taft makes against them. To put it plainly. it is charging them with bribery and graft in their official capacity. Of the mer- it's or demerits of the bill, 1t is not nee essary to speak. Its object as we un- derstand it, was to open the markets of the United States 70 the free impor- tation of Philippine tobacco and sugar. Secretary Taft, as we gather from the Washington correspondent of The In- dianapolis Star, brings the charge in plain language that the sugar and to- bacco trusts of this country, which would suffer from the free importation of Philippine products, brought infiu- ences to bear on the Senators compos- to kill the bill.
 This, we repeat, Is a grave charge. and when we consider the official prom thence and position of the man who makes it and the prominence of most of those againstl whom it is made, we do not see how it can be ignored. If it had been some newspaper or corre- spondent making the accusation, tn Senators might treat it with contempt, but they can't treat Taft that way, and the question is. what will they do about it? Will not some Senator demand committee of investigation and have all the facts made public? What else can be done?
 But there is another phase of the af-
 fair. and that is one affecting the Sec retary himself. He is one of the most prominent on the list of presidential possibilities, and the charges he makes will have an important bearing on his
 fortunes. If the charges are false, it will necessarily lower him very much in the estimation of his former friends and if they are true, we may expect the Republican Senators who are in- volved to knife him at every oppor- tunity. to say nothing of the influence that the Democrats can bring against him, whether there Is any truth in the charge or not. It is a pretty compli- cation ,and can hardly be allowed to. and where it is.

BURTON AS CHAIRMAN.
To Again Head River and Harbor Com-
 mission.

To Again Head River and Harbor Com- Washington Special.
 At the urgent solicitation of Speaker Cannon. Representative Theodore $. Burton of Cleveland will again take the chairmanship of the Rivers and Harbors Committee.
 This arrangement was In way forced as a result of strong pressure upon the Sneaker to have him give give this chairmanship to Representative Lorimer of Chicago, who is backed by '~tarests booming the project for a canal connecting the Greaa Lakes with the Mississippi River.
 This project is full of danger for the Speaker as a candidate for the Repub- liean Presidential nomination. If Bur ton did not take the Rivers and Har- bors chairmanship again the Speaker ing to have Lorimer made chairman. And putting the latter at the head ot the committee meant pushing the Lakes-to-Guif canal and arousing tho hostility of the interests opposed to the construction of that waterway. These interests fear such canal would low. CT the level of the lakes and thus pro duce shoals to interfere with lake na- vigation.
 The Speakers safety. therefore, lay in keeping the Lakes Gulf project in the background for the present. To do this it was necessary to keep Bur- ton at the head of the Rivers and Har- bors Committee.
 If Burton had positively declined to tee again. the other members would have united In urging the appointment of Representative Ernest F. AchesoD of Pennsylvania
