Prince Wilhelm of Sweden appears to
be quite a democratic sort OF chap. and,
tif report speaks truly. ne has led his
guides and chaperones in this country
something Of a dance.
The latest story concerning this young
and vigorous sprig Of royalty will be read
with considerable interest, however. II
not actual approval It seems that the
prince hurried away from Newport ball
few nights agO-quite an hour OF more
before he was expected to leave-and
l hied himself 10 another and much less
/ fashionable affair at a nearby hall. the
same being a function given by the local
colony OF Swedes and in honor OF the
sailors on his royal highness' flagship.
Not only did he attend the dance, eagerly
and in post-haste, but ne mingled with
/ the company, danced with over half of
the young women in attendance, and was
only persuaded to leave when the hours
were growing extremely small and the
royal dignity strained almost to the snap
ping point.
As shocking as this may be to some peo-
pie unduly oppressed with the Importance
Of princes in general and this one In par
ticular, we rather like 10 know that
Sweden has in line OF the crown prince
SO democratic in tastes and so unroyal,
as it were. IN manner. We believe. too.
that it is good politics; and kings and
princes have TO play politics. just the
same as other people. Doubtless these
Swedes retain much Of their love for the
fatherland. Perhaps they have in their
bosoms great love and respect for the
house Of Bernadotte. Certainly both OF
these sentiments must have been
strengthened by the appearance Of this
young man among them at their dance.
/ Royalty is not the great game It used
TO be, but it still offers abundant oppor
tunities for good Evidently Wilhelm has
an up-to-date idea Of the king business.
And we believe we see where he is right

Mr.. Taft in oklahoma.

Secretary Taft's advice to the Republi-
cans OF Oklahoma to reject the new con-
stitution and try il all over again. is
somewhat surprising, in view of the re-
cent revision Of that document so as TO
accord with certain suggestions as to its
Improvement offered by the Department
Of Justice. at the request Of members Of
the constitutional convention. The Cen
sus Bureau is now engaged in enumerat-
ing the population Of the two Territories
to be united into the new State. in order
that an intelligent judgment may be
formed as TO the extent to which the
convention gerrymandered the Congress
sional districts, while the convention It
SELF is il suspended animation, ready to
reassembIe and remodel the constitution
10 the liking OF Washington authorities.
In this posture Of events. we had sup
posed that the admission Of the new
State merely depended on the ability OF
the amended constitution 10 pass Presi-
Dental scrutiny.
But Secretary Taft urges the rejection
Of the constitution at the polls, on the
ground that It would be easier TO frame
a new one than to amend it so as TO
eliminate what he terms its defects, and
he expresses confidence that the next
session Of Congress viii pass a new en-
abling act and authorize a new cOnven-
ton. Mr. Taft pointed out several pro-
visions of'the constitution which he con-
sidered Objectionable principally the re-
quirement that contempt cases be tried
by a jury. He ridIculed the initiative and
referendum idea as inconsistent. with a
gerTymander OF the legislative districts
that would give the Democrats the Iegis-
lature. zad- consequently, two United
States Senators, even should a majority
of the voters be Republican. However
as the constitutional convention is still
technically IN session, there Is no reason
why these defects, if they are such. may
not be remedied in time TO permit the rat.
ilcaton OF the constitution and the ad-
mission Of the new State.
The convention has already used Ip
the appropriation Of 10000 made by Con-
gress TO defray It's expenses and has
Incurred obligations of 100000 besides
all Of which would be thrown away il
the constitution should be rejected It
would be cheaper to have Congress pre-
scribe few don'ts for constitution
makers the next time it passes an en-
abling act for the admission Of a new

One Cause OF nesertion-

The Judge Advocate General OF the
army, Col. Porter, In his annual report,
shows that in the fiscal year ended June
so there were more than a thousand en-
listed men tried for desertion. This was
the number tried, only. Many more de-
serted and were not caught. The report is
dOubly interesting in that it also dwells
upon the passage Of the anti-canteen act.
Col. Porter says that this act ''has IN
doubtedly caused the location near the
military reservations Of resorts for the
sale OF intoxicating liquors"
The abolition Of the canteen Is due in
large part 10 the agitation carried on by
a most worthy organization-due, very
large,y, We think, 10 the fact that the
word, perfectly harmless and Of good
meaning in itself. had come TO be warped
into meaning something akin to a low
groggery. Let US see what the word
really means;
"Canteen: 4 sort Of suffers shop in barracks.
camps. garrisons. &c. where provisions. &c tsome-
times beer other liquorsl. are sold to soldiers
under regulations prescribed by the authorities %
If enlistment in the army carried with
IT a pledge to total abstinence from
liquor. the anti-canteen act, unpopular
now, would be less popular still. Few
men would enlist.
The canteen as established at barracks
and army posts was generally a well
conducted Institution, where the soldier
could get beer or wine If desired, but
never too much of either. II he violated
the regulations, he was still IN barracks.
and punishment was sure.
When the canteen was abolished there
sprang up near most army posts low
dives which catered especially to the sol
der. Vile liquor was sold him as long as
his money held out These grOggeTies ex-
ist in numbers to-day. and while on a
drunken spree many a soldier of other
wise good record overstays his leave and
rather than go back 10 his punishment
adds 10 his offense by desertion.
Service in the army should be a con-
tented and a happy one. with fullest lib
erty consistent with discipline. The rights
Of the men as citizens should be regarded.

Roosevelt Not Wholly Responsible
for ARtf-cOrpOratIOn Movement.
From the Philadelphia Press
Some newspapers, not many, a num-
Der Of hnanciers, all the weekly financial
organs who speak for them, and a toll
erabIy large number Of individual in
vestors. corporation managers. and rail-
road officers charge the current agita-

existing determination 10 suppress trusts,
reform corporate management, increase
the responsibility OF directors, revise the
rates OF railroads. and lessen the cost
and improve the service OF public utili-
ties as all the work OF Theodore Roose-
velt All phases Of the movement are
laid to the policy of his administration,

the laws passed by Congress on his de-
mand.
President Roosevelt has led this move
ment He speaks for It. What people
were ridiculing IN his speeches as ''plati-
tudes" four years ago. prove TO be the
principles Of a great national movement
But President Roosevelt has not Gre
ated this movement. He has not caused
It. He has not sown the seed. Men Ike
Hartman have done that. President
Roosevelt has brought a wide and rising
demand TO concrete shape as far as rail-
road rates are concerned; but the move
ment would have existed without him,
and its surging tides are far wider than
the narrow beaches Of ederal power
and Federal supervision.
This vast movement. national and not
personal. felt in every field. Federal,
State, and local. in manufacture. distri-
button. and transportation. has not only
found in Theodore Roosevelt a leader,
but a conserving and conservative force.
But for the legislation which has been
passed on interstate commerce. on State
supervision over insurance, and on one
municipal public service and another,
there would have been a political revolu-
ton which would have swept away what
is now curbed. revised. and protected.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.

They brought him 10 her ward because

With cool, soft hands she touched his

tender than the care he had,
Her eyes were deep and dark ands soft

praised.
Whenever she went tripping past the sick

The rich mans ills grew less and less,
and so the doctors came one day
And looked him over and declared twas
time for him to 60 away.
He rose and went. well pleased. indeed
that he was once more well and
strong;
But strange to say he didn't take the
pretty little nurse along.
P. S.-Perhaps It ought to be explained
that he-the grizzled millionaire
Was married when they put him IN the

Men like Belmont are trying 10 make
people think that President Roosevelt Is

to marvel at the average temper being

of the facts the attitude of these men Is

Mr.. Root and the Newspapers

For the sake of his distinguished pa
tron, not patient. we hope it has occurred
to Prof. William Muldoon to keep the
newspapers. as we'll as cigarettes. away
from the Hon. Ellhu Root Otherwise
we doubt the beneficial outcome OF his
stay at White Piains-doubt 1t seriously.
The daily course OF sprouts which he
is now being put through; the invigorat-
ing and rejuvenating outdoor life. with
its appetite-giving horseback rides, its
sleep-producing sprints about a forty
acre farm, the blood-stimulating bouts
with the gloves-au this and more Of
the same sort OF thing ought 10 do the
Secretary Of State a world Of good, and

Craftsmanship the country acknowledges
him to be. how is he to do it and still

Strong himself couldn't do 1t.
Fancy the frame Of mind of Elihu
Root, for example, when. after a canter
over the hills, a shower and a rundown,
he picks up the Daily Screamer, and,
sans cigarette, proceeds to scan 1t for
the news OF the world. What's this he
sees, flaming across the first page? Eli

once. He begins 10 nod ever his read

What Is il he reads in the Morning

ing word from the War Secretary to
Adissourtans. When he last saw Root,
only a day or two before, Taft tells the

is sure, quite sure. that the Secretary
OF State is not seriously ailing, phys
icany or mentally. OF course Taft did
not reassure the country IN just these
words, but the purport OF it was the
same.
Imagine Prof Muldoons patient-pa-
tron. we mean-reading this interview in
the Morning SafeandsaneI Imagine the
disquieting effects Of the lurid headlines
in the Daily Screamer. Of the far-fetched
speculation in the Yellow Peril. and Of

Of the young cadets from Culver Military
Academy. Culver, Ind, calls attention 10
school that In its marvellous growth
would greatly have pleased It's founder
Dir. Henry Culver. The school is located
on the banks Of beautiful Lake Maxinkuc-
kee. Indiana, a summer resort for many
Indianians. Years ago. when the beau
ties OF the iake-one OF the best bass-ash-
ing places in Indiana-were known only
TO farmers, Mr.. Henry Culver, Of ST.
Louis, went there and purchased much Of
the best land. Already a man Of large
fortune, he made another fortune out Of
this venture, and he built a fine summer
cottage on the lake. Afterward ne put up
the buildings that were the beginning Of
Culver Academy. Mr.. Henry Culver was
an eccentric character. He had started
out In !fe as a peddIer OF tInware in the
rural districts, carrying his stock on his
back. From this he graduated into the
stove business, and he built up one Of the
largest hardware manufactures in Mis-
souri,. He was rough diamond. with lit
lie or no educati0n blunt OF speech and
fond Of hard work. Much Of the work
about the grounds OF Culver he did with
his own hands; indeed. he was seldom so
happy as when welding a pick or a
shovel. Distinguished guests used 20 visit
him. but Mr.. Culver would sit down 10 his
mahogany table in his blue everaiis In q
