Supreme Court Handed Out a
Strong Document
Yesterday.

The Supreme Court yesterday hand
ed out strong pronouncement against
the practise of treating estates of de-

of the court written by Ballou there
seems to have been indecent haste to

CLOSE WORKING ALLIANCE
National Committee to Assist in Con-

Chicago, Aug. 19.-The Democratic
congressional situation vas the SUBJ
feet matter of an extended conference
between National Chairman Mack and
Congressman James Lloyd, chairman
Of the Democratic congressional COM
mittee, after which 1t became known
that the Democratic national commit
tee would not only cooperate with
the congressional committee wherever
possible, but would render any finan-
cial aid necessary. The two commit
tees have worked heretofore harmoni-
ously as separate organizations, but it
was deemed more advantageous for
the conduct of an effective congress
sfonal campaign to have a close work.
ing alliance. Congressman Lloyd told
Chairman Mack that the prospects
were bright for the election of a Dem
ocratic house of representatives and
with proper aid from the national
committee many congressional dis
tricts formerly regarded as safely Re-
publican would be found this year to
be Democratic. Chairman Mack told
Congressman Lloyd that the national
committee could be depended upon to
give any assistance required.

Uncle Sans Foresters.

T%hirty-nine young graduates Of our
national forestry schools have lately
received appointments as assistants In
the forest service. There is a growing
interest in the profession Of forestry,
and many young men are asking how
to get into it and what rewards it
promises. Recently the chief Of the
| forest service wrote on this subject as
follows:
To be a good forester a man should
combine something of the naturalist
! with q good deal of the business man.
To know how to use the forest he must
be able to study it. He must have. there
fore, the power of observation, a fond
ness for nature and the ability to pene-
trate her secrets. But II he Is to sue
ceed he must also have good practical
Judgment and the ability to handle men
He must be resourceful, able to stand by
himself, willing to undergo the privations
Of rough life and capable of commanding
the respect of rough men. who quickly
recognize virility and genuineness OF
character, but will not tolerate pretcnse
or the assumption Of authority. A for
ester needs a vigorous mind In a vigor-
GUS body. He must be Of the kind that
likes to get things done and does not
give up when things are not going Ms
way. He will have to face dilnculties
and work out problems far from outside
help, relying solely upon himself. lie
ought to be hard to whip.
On the national forests the assistants
often act as advisers to the super
visors in charge, who are experienced
in all practical matters, but have not
bad technical training in the science
Of forestry. or the assistants may be
assigned to the study Of some particu-
lar problem which needs to be investi-
gated in the interest of good forest
management. AS scientific forestry
means knowing how to get the most
out Of a given piece of land, it calls
for studies and experiments, both sci
entiic and practical, much like those
which have to be made in the interest
of good farm management. If the for
ester's temperament is scientific he
will have the joy Of the d~iscoverer and
organizer Of knowledge in an almost
virgin field, and If 1t be practical he
will have the chance Of sharing in a
national work of vital Importance to
the people Of the present day and OF
the future. "

LEADERS OPPOSE HUGHES
'corteIyou or Wadsworth for Governor
of New York.

'Cortelyou or WadsWorth for Governor
of New York.
New York, Aug. 19.-For governor
Bruce Cortelyou or James
Wadsworth, Jr. These names, accord
ing to an article published in the
Evening Telegram, are On the New
York gubernatorial slate. It is the
intention, according to the statement,
to relieve Governor Hughes of the re-
sponsibility of again becoming a can
didate and the party leaders are said
to have declared their purpose.
The informant of the Evening .Tele-
gram says it is the wish of President
Roosevelt that the secretary of the
treasury become governor Of New
York, although it is his further opin-
ion that the state can be carried this
fall by any good Republican without
any serious injury to Mr.. Taft.
1t is pointed out further that MI.
Taft is not averse to the nomination
OF Mr.. Hughes, but, according to the
story as printed, the president is of
the opinion that the nomination Of
Governor Hughes will be destructive
to the machinery of the Republican
organization as 1t now stands.

Private Betting and Gambling.

Private Betting and Gambling.
No well balanced person aver con-
tended that private betting is a crime;
and Judge Gaynor's recent decision in
q Brooklyn court is a rebuke to those
who wish to obscure the issue in wars
upon gambling by making q test Of
private betting. What the anti-gam-
bling laws aim to regulate and check
IL not the wager between man and
man upon a golf or ball game or the
speed Of an auto, a turbine steamer or
even a race horse.
What the anti-gambling laws are
meant to reach are those fragrant cases
Of betting which under the assumed
sanction Of law are sometimes conduct
ed as a public business for the sole
profit Of professional gamblers. Those
who think that they can involve the is
sue raised by efforts to control this sort
Of t%raficking with the issue Of per
sonal liberty as involved in the laying
Of bets on games or any form of limo
cent recreation are either ignorantly
wasting the time Of the courts by
bringing up such actions or ire ms
liciously seeking to discredit the prin-
ciple Of laws which justly restrain and
control.

The New Soldiers Dream.

The destruction of the Zeppelin air.
ship No. 4 In a measure readjusts the
European balance in the matter of ''the
nations airy .navies." Authorities re-
cord the fluctuations in aerial equip
ment the same as they do that Of the
marine ornaments. Zeppelin's accident
puts the French back in the place from
which the triumphs of the daring and
r%esourceful German temporarily dis
lodged them, and France now has sew
en- airships, five Of the most approved
type. She originally had six and lost
the Patrie, which was the pattern for
the others. Germany had five military
airships, and the destruction Of No. 4
reduced the list to four. Italy has
two. The United States, with two
nearing completion, is virtually in the
class with Italy.
The possibility Of the airship as a
war machine continues a fascinating
topic of speculation in military circles
the world over. Experiments with
dirigible balloons and ae%roplanes are
everywhere reported. Recently a Brit
ish authority on military %aeronautics.
Colonel Cappers of the Royal engi-
neers, discussed the probable use of
dirigibles in war. Assuming that dir
igibles can be perfected, the colonel
says:
Large vessels of from 500, 900 to 1,o0o.-
600 cubic feet capacity, capable Of trav-
cling at a speed Of forty miles an hour
in q calm and of carrying considerable
quantities of high explosives, can set
out and, with a favorable wind, can
cover vast distances in a few hours.
When they will come and what their OBJ
~jective will be cannot possibly be known
to the enemy. who cannot always Be
looking with uns ready pointed into the
air. while they will pass yer the coun-
try so quickly as to be out of range al
most as soon as seen.
Keeping high up in the daytime n
descending at night, they can keep their
direction with practical certainty and, how
ering close over n desired spot, may
launch explosives with delay action fuses,
which will enable them to retire to a
SdAO ASIoAiS OCAoA0 4S SApAoS1oA
or they may even risk destruction to eff
feet some notable exploit.
Their detectives would not be the en-
emy's armies, but his dockyards, arse.
nails, storehouses, railway centers, ETC.,
where the maximum of damage can be
caused at a minimum Of cost. Possibly
they might even attack the enemy's
navy If he has one, but possibly the same
effect would be produced in a more hui
name manner by merely destroying the
docks, etc. There would appear to be
but little difficulty in lodging the ex-
plosives with great accuracy if good
plans are available to work by, while
the expense, even should several airships
be lost, would be insignificant.
But Hiram Maxim, also an expert in
military innovations, declares that dir
igible balloons must soone or later
yield supremacy to perfected aero
planes. 1t is well known that aero
planes cannot carry large crews or
much cargo and hence could not be
very effective in destroying arsenals,
storehouses and railway centers. They
might perhaps torpedo OF lance the
dirigibles encountered. Anyway, the
dream of fairy navies graphing in the
central blue" etill seems far from real
ization.

.sDean of American playwrights.'

"Dean of American Playwrights."
Financial success in a new and diff
cult profession was by no means the
sole reason for calling the late Bronson
Howard the "dean of American play
wrights." He wrote for an active the
alter and produced plays to meet the
requirements Of his time. But he
worked carefully and conscientiously,
and his plays by winning recognition
from the public opened the way for
native effort.
Mr.. Howard himself struggled long
for recognition. When he began for
eign adaptations were the vogue here
and disputed the field with the clas-
steal drama. The first to produce q
Howard play, Augustin Daily, was him
self an adept at adaptation. 1t wal
easier and cheaper for a manager to
borrow plays from foreign sources Or
pirate them, rs the phrase was. than
to experiment with the efforts of ma
tive authors. Howard fought for the
recognition of American authors, and
II his direct influence was ephemeral
his general service to the American
drama was considerable. When he be-
gan there was little interest among
playgoers in purely American types
and more especially none in distinctly
American themes. Nowadays man
ayers give the preference to plays deal
ing wholly with American life, and the
New theater, which proposes to strike
out in new paths, announces that the
American type Of play will be made
the most of on its boards. George
Bronson EDWARD. the novelist, should
not be COMPOUNDED with the family OF
the dead dramatist. Mr.. Howard had
no children, and it is said that the nov
elist was not related to him in any
way.

MARSHAL FATALLY HURT.
Mountain Lake (Minn.) Officer Victim
Of Supposed Robbers.

Mountain Lake, Mimi, Aug. 49,
This little town was thrown into a
frenzy of excitement when, in a fight
with four strangers who were sup
posed to have robbed a local meat
market, ]. Lewis, village marshal, was
fatally stabbed in the abdomen.
The quartette were just getting
away when discovered by Marshal
Lewis. He gave chase and a desper-
ate battle was fought. One of the men
used a knife, inf1icting injuries on the
marshal.
The strangers then attempted to
escape, but a posse of citizens soon
overlook them and after another live
" encounter all were arrested and
lodged in jail.
Feeling is strong against the prison
ers. They refused to give their names.

Moral jaw and Che State.

A forward march of the school
teachers in the right direction is what
the Chicago Interior calls the action
Of the National Education association
with respect to the Bible in the
schools at the recent annual conven-
ton. The action referred to was a
resolution upon the subject Of charac-
ter training, as follows:
We earnestly recommend to boards Of
education, principals and teachers the
continuous training Of pupils in morals
and in business and professional ethics
men Of affairs may have a well developed
adherence of unfair dealing and dis
elimination.
The National Education associates
wishes to record Its approval Of the in
creasing appreciation among educators Of
the fact that the building of character is
the real aim Of the schools.
We hope for such a change Of public
sentiment as will permit and encourage
the reading and study Of the English
Bible.
The Interior holds that the above
declaration for the Bible as a stand
ard Of moral ethics is especially salts
factory because the state has the un-
disputed right to uphold a social mo

between man and man." and what It
intends to maintain as the standards
Of conduct it should duly inform its

history that nations which. have OBJ

DISCUSSED BY BRYAN.
Subject Of the Guarantee Of Bank
Deposits.

H-L.HH InLE|
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 19.-Discussiag
the subject of guaranty of bank de-
posits William ]. Bryan, Democratic
candidate for the presidency, accused
the Republican leaders of congress
with having enacted into law a cur
rency bill in the interest of the stock
market and yet, although they had
ample opportunity to do so, they failed
to authorize the national banks of
Oklahoma to take advantage of the
state law relating to the guaranty OF
bank deposits. 1t was with no little
satisfaction that Mr.. Bryan noted in
the morning dispatches the fact that
the Enid (Okla.) National bank had
surrendered it's charter and come
within the provisions of the state law.
II do not know, of course, to what
extent the national banks will surren-
der their charters" said Mr.. Bryan.
"Fifty-four national banks in Okla
homa took advantage of the guaranty
system and they have found it very
profitable, for they have increased
their deposits, while the unsecured
national banks have lost in deposits.
Under the ruling of Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte they will have to
choose now between remaining ma.
tional banks or securing the benefits
Of the guaranty system. They will
either have to surrender their char.
tiers or surrender the protection which
the guaranty system gives to their de.
positors. They ought not to be driven
to this alternative. Congress had
ample time to pass a law permitting
the national banks of Oklahoma to
take advantage Of this system"
