SECRETARY TAFT IRA YELLING
DIPLOMAT.


An illustration of the development of
modern craftsmanship and the changed
political conditions that have followed
Americas elevation to the ranks of
world powers" is furnished by the
itinerary upon which Secretary of War
Taft has started, with a suit case full
of problems arisen between the United
States and its colonial possessions. Mr..
Taft has gone to Panama and will also
visit Porto Rico. On his return trip he
will spend some time in Havana and
then, after a brief stay in Ohio, will
start for the Philippines. He may go to
the Philippines via Alaska and will
touch at Hawaii and Samoa. He goes,
in effect, as the diplomatic messenger
of the presidents cabinet to confer with
the nations colonial authorities on prob
lens demanding solution.
At Panama Mr.. Taft will investigate
the work done and to be done and
upon his report the president viii base
his decision as to the future policy to be
pursued in the matter of digging the
canal by the government or by contract
and the course to be adopted iii securing
necessary labor for the work. Some
engineering problems are also to be set
tied and Mr.. Taft's report will be the
basis for the administrations future
action.
In Porto Rico Mr.. Taft's duty will be
one of Cancellation, the Porto Ricans
feeling greatly aggrieved because rights
of citizenship have been denied them.
In Alaska, the secretary will inspect
the governments works and consider
tematic development of the resources
of the territory, under federal direction.
The travelling diplomat will investigate
the fertilization improvements at Ha-
wall and study the labor problem as af-
fected by the new immigration law.
When Mr.. Taft was governor of the
Philippines, he promised the natives he
would be present at the opening of the
nrst Phlllpplne assembly, which VIII be
in September. While keeping that en-
gagement, he will visit the islands early
in order to watch the progress Of events
and be in position to make recommended
lions for future action by congress en-
larging the elf-government powers that
have been granted to the Filipinos He
will have to report progress on his eff
forts to secure a reduction of tariff on
Philippine goods, but he doubtless will
tell them that there is still hope for re-
lief in that direction.
The discharge of these duties will
keep the secretary pretty busy until al
most time for the next session of con-
gress.' In the meantime, the Taft presi-
| Dental boom is in the hands of his
friends.

~ Popularity Holds Ont Roosevelt
Can Dictate the Nominee.
Washing Inn pnaI-

washington EOsI
Unless the unexpected should happen,
Theodore Roosevelt can have the republic
can nomination for president IN ICES u nc
Will take IT, OF that there is no doubt
But Mr.. Roosevelt has good deal Of con-
hdence I'm this country, and takes great
pride an t. AS a consequence he repudi-
ates the idea that there IS but one indi-
viduol Of the sO.O0oOCo and upward Of us
III to be president Of the United states
That is what a third term will mean, II
there ever is third term That is why
Theodore Roosevelt refuses TO consider the
matter. Most Of this third-term talk Is
sincere; some Of II is disingenuous. We
may be assured that the president under
stands Il precisely.
But there is one thing left to Mr.. Roosd-
welt, il his popularity holds. He can die
tate the republican candidate. Until Aaron
Burr cut that ugly caper the winter Of 1900
1901 that made imperative She twelfth
amendment, it was the policy to promote
the vice president TO the chief magistracy;
but after the defeat Of Burr's scheme the
succession fell to the secretary of state,
as when Madison succeeded Jefferson. Mon
roe, Madison, and J. c. Adams, Monroe.
Clay was secretary Of state in J. Q. Adams
cabinet and would have succeeded to the
presidency, no doubt had not Jackson de-
feated Adams in 1928
When Jackson came in he fully intended
to palSe John c. Calhoun his successor,
but Adams so contrived that Old Hickory
heard Of some structures that the eminent
South Carolinian had passed on certain
conduct of Jackson in Florida and Cal
houn was deposed and Van Buren, installed
as heir to the scepter. Being a widower,
Van was immune to the Peggy O'Neil dis
temper, and he thus became president
March 4, 1897. In 1874 jackson made James
X. Polk president. Van Buren, was the
last of our president-made presidents, and
Polk was the only one of our ex-president-
made presidents.
Grant attempted to make Roscoe Conk-
ling his successor but the candidacy Of
Oliver p. Morton divided the anti-Blaine
strength, and Hayes got the nomination.
Hayes was the last president who actively
engaged in a movement to dictate the sue
cession. and 1t failed, because Mr.. Blaine
preferred Garfield to Sherman. who was
the administration candidate but the
bread-and-butter squad ipgloriously de-
serted and Garfield got the plum
Roosevelt is the best politician now on
the carpet He is in a place of even
greater vantage than Jackson for the op-
position hated jackson with the cordlality
of the very old horned devil himself, while
the present Opposition, the democracy,
so-called, is on its head to touch the, hem
of the republican presidents garment, that
virtue and patriotism may issue TO it there
from.

it's fangs i'm a tree. with tue result that
the tree died within an hour The tree
may also be cited as evidence These
are only samples Of the wild assertions
made by the Pennsylvania snakeologist
He even contends that snakes do not
charm birds, or go blind once a month
in dog days, or sting with their tongues,
or milk cows. and he caps the climax
with the assertion that when a snake IS
killed its tail does not live until the sun
goes down.
Science is making great Roadway
these days and discovering many things
that are not so. Most Of its DEGREES are
accepted without question, but the
Pennsylvania expert has placed too
heavy a tax on the credulity of the
people who know a snake when they
see it with its skin on. The only thing
to be said in his favor is that he did
not aim shaft at that time-honored
custom of amateur fishermen carrying
a bottle along filed with sure cure for
snake bites

Personal NOTES.

,Honors are easy in one respect Both
Mr.. Fairbanks and Mr.. Taft were born in
Ohio.
There were Just as many marriages as
divorces in Denver during the first nine
days Of March. Denver, by the way, is the
metropolis of the Great Divide country.
The destruction of a statue Of p. T.
Barnum in public place in BRIDGEPORT has
led to the Introduction of a bill in the Con-
necticut legislature providing for more
severe penalty for offenses Of this kind.
Two Philadelpnians, one lO2 and the other
1O7, have just celebrated their birthdays.
Not only have they escaped I'll health but
even more remarkable has been their inn
munity from exploitation in the interest OF
patent foods.
DIR. w. N. Fowler of Button. Ind, will
accompany Walter welman in his airship
to the pole. He will sail from New York
on April 4. He accompanied the Wellman
expedition last year. and is confident that
this year IT will be a success.
Dolphin NJ Delmas has accepted the in.
vitatlon of the Kent club of the Yale law
school to address it as soon as the Thaw
trial ends He said in his letter of ac-
ceptanee that he expected to give the adj
subject Criminal Jurisprudence"
The designations Of two of the oldest and
best-known professors at Yale, DR.. Lewis
o. Brastow, formerly dean of the divinity
school and for thirty years holder OF the
chair Of systematic theology, and Daniel
Cady Eaton, Of the art school, have been
handed to the Yale corporation. They re-
tire because of advanced age, and will hold
the title of professors emeritus.
John T.. Fitzgerald, the democratic mayor
of Boston, manages to keep fairly busy.
He not only keeps up an active law practice
but he also finds time to edit a weekly
newspaper which is gaining rapidly in ma
tional circulation and influence, Thor
oughly convinced of the value and power Of
publicity, he induced the city council TO
create a new office, that Of municipal press
agent, and has appointed to the place a
skillful reporter, As a result the old towns
advantages as a business, educational, so
ciaI and religious center are being pre-
scented to the world in proper fashion

PROTECTING THE FLAG.
Decision i'm Nebraska Case IA Source
of satisfaction.

Milwaukee Sentinel
The supreme court OF the United States
having before It the question of the con-
stitutionality of the Nebraska law pro-
hibiting the use of the flag for advertising
purposes has upheld the validity of that
enactment.
This decision will give great satisfaction
to the vast majority OF the people Of the
United States.
The people have not looked with any
favor son the use Of the flag as a trade
mark or for advertising purposes The SUI
preme court holds that a state has a right
10 protect the national flag from indigni-
ties II has been held In some state iuris-
dictions that under the constitution the
nag Is common property and that people
could not be restrained from using it/for
advertising purposes. The supreme court
at Washington, however takes the higher
broader ground.
There is no excuse for the use Of the
neg for advertising all manner of wares
It amounts TO a dissertation. In many
instances the use Of the flag has been de-
grading.
The flag standy for all that is highest
and best in our civilization. It is the
symbol Of the republic The reverence
for the nag which On the minds and hearts
Of the children Of the republic means pa
triotism, is not promoted by It's use for
undignihed AND helittling purposes.
In this day OF mad scramble for money
there seems 20 be little thought given to
sentiment
We can better teach the children 10 love
the flag; 10 understand the sacrifice and
hercism which has made Il transcendent in
its glory II we do not permit II to bo

Springfield Republican.

In the accounts which come from Wash
ington of the presidents projected cam
paign for further government regulation
of the railroads, the statement is repeat
eddy made, as It was before congress ad-
journed, that on one thing the president
has made up his mind. That is, that the
stock watering of the past cannot be
remedied Mr.. Roosevelt realizes that
the watered securities have largely found
their way into the hands of innocent In
vestors, and that a retroactive law would
probably hurt them more than the really
guilty parties. In this sane view of the
matter the president is distinguished from
radicals like Senator La Toilette.

They have the same desire for speech and
the same difficulty about uttering it, the
same physical awkwardness and energy,

The president of the United States makes
old men of his cabinet ministers before

of the Great Northern is marked by thu
wrecks of old, broken-down enriched as

from their berths at sunrise to eat a
breakfast that would stagger Gargantul
and then to tramp for hours over broken

collieries, admirlng prize bulls, visiting
round houses or working handcars, until
the sunset hour sends them back to the
car where, somnolent they try to listen
while the ''old man" reads aloud books on
the development of trade in China or
challenges them to a discussion on the
existence of Marian life.
Perhaps you would like 20 know what
these two eminent and distant person
ages think of each other. At Mr.. Roose-
velt's request Mr.. Hill was taken by
friend of both gentlemen TO Washington
to discuss the Northern Securities case.
Each presented his view to the other
at about the same time I suppose. At
the conclusion of the interview or fracas
the railway president pulled his hat down
over his ears and Numbered over to his
hotel. The friend remained TO collect
souvenirs of the disaster. When he got
back to the hotel he asked Mr.. Hill:
what do YOU think Of the PRESIDENT
II think he is crazy" said Mr.. Hill.
'Well," said the friend, that's funny,
for that is exactly what the presideRt
said about you"

Mr. Bryans visit to tNI- city. as the
speeches OF Fridays culmi.ltiug banquet

clearly that I'm 1905. which viii soon be here.
we shah have the same old Bryan, utter.
ing the same old worn-out platitudes Of
social discomfort, surrounded by the same
OLD group of middle and lower tiers OF
democratic politicians and office seekers;
In short another Bryan campaign. Free
silver TO be sure. will not be the issue, but
other forms OF protest, equally radical and
il-consdered. against the safety and Sc
curity Of the business order, will be his
partys rallying cry.
II is wen 60 remember one life insurance
policy which the pople Of the United states
are carrying FOR relief In the improbable
event of AR. Bryan's election and that Is
the present republican majority In the
United States senate. II will be recalled
that Alton b. Parker. I'm 1904. with COM
mendable modesty, even at the expense OF
paying = doubtful compliment to his own
party, assured the voters that n he were
elected, for the first four years. at least,
he could accomplish little or nothing be-
cause Of the lingering republican majority
in the senate Mr. Parker's point Is. n any
thing, better taken today! The election
1906, have strengthened the republican hold
on the senate until now only two demo-
Gratis from northern states remain in the
senate, Teller and Newlands, both former
republicans and both free lances IN their
political Affiliations. It would take series
Of democratic victories. not one merely, to
reduce this two-thirds republican majority
to bare fighting weight.
Mr.. Bryan as president would have little
power I'm securing new legislation. and &C
cordingly would be comparatively innocu-
Gus. This is no argument for electlng him.
since much can be done by executing order
and by management Of administrative hui
reaus to shape our affairs In the wrong d.
rectiOn; but the confession OF his inability
to accomplish anything for so-called IRE
form would unavoidably cast a damper
upon the zeal OF his supporters II they
really want anything accomplished aside
from a redistribution OF the offices, they
will have to vote for a republican candidate
who stands for helpful and hopeful af-
firmative policies This fact alone should
suffice to determine the issue of the cam
paign.

A VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE.

The passage of the terminal tax bill
by substantial majorities in both
branches of the Nebraska legislature is
great victory for the people as against
the consolidated influence of the tax
Sinking railroads.
Never in the history Of Nebraska has
a railroad lobby, reinforced by all the
insidious agencies at the command Of
these great corporations, fought so des-
perately TO retain a special privilege
affording them escape from payment Of
city taxes ON their terminals and fore
ing the other property owners to pay
the taxes that should properly be paid
by the railroads.
The bill must pass through still an
other stage of legislative procedure TO
secure the concurrence of the senate to
the house amendments before 1t will
be ready for the approving signature of
the governor, which is already assured.
1t is not safe to assume that the rail
road managers, who have required their
paid agents to fight the measure inch
by inch, win cease their efforts to OBJ
struct even now. Ii behOoves the
friends Of terminal taxation to continue
their vigilance to the very end.
When the bill is signed by the gov
ernor and actually on the statute books.
The Bee will have considerable more to
say in review OF and comment on this
great legislative battle.

PURPOSE or -CO-OPERA TIVE" SCHEME.
While railroad managers, in confer
cnce with President Roosevelt and in
public utterances, have been submit
ting many propositions FOR "co-opera-
tive" relations between the government
ana the railways, no two OF them have
agreed on any definite plan, and most
of the suggestions have been rather
vague in character. Out Of the mass of
suggestion and argument made public,
however, is a clear indication that most
Of the railway managers desire a modus
vlvendi with the government by which
the entire regulation Of traffic rates
shall be placed under federal control
and the railways thus relieved Of deal
ing with state authorities in the matter
of rates.
Mr. Hartman, the most loquacious
Of the railway eonferees, is emphatic
ally in favor of such plan. In a care
fully studied interview he declares that
the question Of constitutionality lies in
all Of the state legislation on railway
matters and that "but one thing is OBJ
vious, and that is that the railroads
have got TO fight these measures as
they come along and at the same time
undertake to educate the public on the
primary questions involved" This is
simply official announcement of the
purpose Of the railroads to apply the
court test to the rate laws passed by
the legislatures Of Nebraska and other
western states.
Another move i'm the direction of en-
larging the scope Of the work of the
Interstate Commerce commission has
been made by b. f. Yoakum of the
Rock Island, who has asked President
Roosevelt to have western representa-
tives Of the commission appointed with
headquarters at Chicago and st. Louis
for the purpose Of securing 'cO-Opera-
ton" John d. Rockefeller, whose in
direct holdings in railroad properties is
very large has also declared in favor
of federal control and regulation of
railway rates, and the entire railway
management seems to be inclining to
that view, the purpose clearly being to
have the question of rate regulation
taken from the legislatures of the states
and vested with the Interstate Com
MERGE commission
The attitude of the railroad managers
is significant, in view Of their open hos
tllity for years to the efforts of the In
terstate Commerce commission to bring
about the very conditions for which the
railways are now clamoring No eager
ness TO seek cover under the federal
law was manifested until the legsla-
lures of the states became aroused over
local abuses co-extensive with those
aimed at by the president and congress.
1t is possible. of course. that under
proper cooperation between the govern
ment and the railways a satisfactory
adjustment of interstate commerce rates
might be fixed going a long way to end
what the railways are pleased to term
"a campaign of hostility" in the va
rlous legislatures. Be that as it may,
the railroads have for the first time
been placed on the defensive and COM
PEELED to admit that the shippers and
the public have rights that should be
respected
