MR.. TAFTrs BUSINESS POLICY.

Coincident with the reported re-
sumption of activity in many Industrial
lines and with the sentencing Of
Charles w. Morse of New York to if
teen years in prison for violation of
the national banking laws comes the
significant words of Mr.. Taft, in a
speech at a banquet Of the Cincinnati
Commercial club. Addressing his
friends and neighbors Mr.. Taft said:
Every business man who Is obeyinR
the law may go ahead with all the en-
ergy in his possession; every enterprise
which is within the statutes may proceed
without fear of interference from the ad-
ministration when acting legally; but all
interests within the jurisdiction of the
federal government may expect a rigid
enforcement of the laws against dishonest
methods.
The country needs just the assur-
ance offered by Mr.. Taft. There are
doubtless promoters and reckless
inan6ers who have hoped that the Wig
orous policy of the Roosevelt admins
tration in dealing with offenders
against the antitrust and other laws
regulGtive of commercial and indus
trial operations might be modified un-
der the next administration. Mr.. Taft
serves notice hat there shall be no
cessation of the administration war
fare against violators of the laws,
while at the same time offering every
encouragement and protection to en-
terprises operated legally. 1t might
appear superf1uous to reassure the
business men who are acting within
needless reports and rumors have been
circulated which have tended to gem
orally disturb the business mind. The
country has been suffering from a case
of nerves" which Mr.. Taft's state
ment will go far towards curing.
Mr.. Taft's statement is that between
the people and the corporations there
shall be square dealing. Any impress
sion that, as Mr.. Roosevelt's successor,
Mr.. Taft would be less strenuous, if
not Indifferent, to the continuance of
the Roosevelt policies has been dissi-
pated. The people can ask no more
than Mr.. Taft has promised and the
corporations should not expect more.
Only the speculative manipulation of
stocks and the jobber in Industrial and
commercial enterprises will be able to
find fault with Mr.. Taft's program.
Important problems must yet be solved
in the matter of dealing with railroads
and other corporations engaged in in
terstate commerce AFFAIRS. but no hon
est corporation need fear the new ad-
m~inistration. just as dishonest corpora
lions need expect no favors.

THE UNIVERSITY SUCCESSION.

The resignation of Chancellor An
drews as head of the University Of Ne
braska devolves upon the Board of Re-
gents the duty Of selecting his success
sor. That this is the most important
and delicate task that the regents will
have to perform goes without saying.
While our State university is too big
and too we'll established to suffer any
serious setback from a change In head
ship, its progress may be accelerated
or retarded by wise or unwise choice.
The people will not disagree widely
as to the qualifications desired in the
new chancellor. The difficulty will be
to get a man combining all the desired
qualifications.
Without disparaging DR.. Andrews
high character as an educator, nor be-
lifting the executive ability which he
possessed in his prime, the opinion is
general that II was a mistake to call
him in at the time he was made chan
cellor. DR.. Andrews had then reached
and passed the pinnacle of his service
and was on the setting sun side of his
life.
This mistake should not be repeated
in the selection of DR.. Andrews sue
cessor. The new chancellor should
be a man not much over 40. of thor
ough educational training and culture
and with some executive experience.
He should be a man who can grow
with the university and make the uni
versity grow with him. In these days
Of specialization he cannot In the ma
ture of things be personally expert in
every branch of knowledge to be
taught, but he can and should have
good educational antecedents, a broad
viewpoint and tested ability to choose
and handle subordinates.
1t will be worth while for the re-
gents to make sure, even IL they have
to go slow, in solving the problem pre-
sented by the impending chancellor
ship vacancy.

THE VOTE.

Among the other surprises of the
presidential election is the small fig
ure cut by Eugene V. Debs and the
socialists. Early in the campaign
Debs predicted that he would receive
1000, 900 votes, and this estimate was
increased later to 2,O00,0 900. Leaders
Of the old parties, basing their opin-
ions upon reports received from diff
ferent sections OF the country, were
inclined to believe that the returns
would show a largely increased So
cialist vote over the 100000 which
Debs polled when he ran for president
in 1904. The returns show that the
1904 vote will stand as a party record.
MI. Debs explains the matter read
lily by saying that many democrats
who voted the socialist ticket in 1904,
because they did not like Judge
Parker, returned to the democratic
party this year because Bryan was rad
ical enough for them. NeY York this
year gave the party $40 more votes
than in 1904. In Chicago, the vote
Of 47.743 in 1904 was reduced to 49,
S85, a loss of so per cent. The so
cialists made ante-election claims of
big gains in Cincinnati and Milwau-
kee, but the returns showed a falling
of in both cities from the socialist vote
of four years ago.
While Mr.. Debs has sent a message
to his followers insisting hat he loves
them for their revolutionary spirit
the party can not find any encourage
ment in the November returns. The
Americans, however much they may be
dissatisfied with political conditions
from time to time. are still convinced
that the competitive system is best
adapted to their purposes and they
show no disposition to change 1t for
the enervating plan Of government
proposed by the socialists.

A LARGE MANN MINNESOTA.
Remarkable Record of n Lonesome
Democrat.

Cleveland Plain Dealer (dem.)
The national election past, the excitement
subsidized, political gossip runs far ahead
to 1912 and takes up the rather Improbable
topic of possible candidates. This is an
inevitable aftermath of each election. Es-
pecially does the vanquished party look
forward with hope to better things. And
this year democrats in every state in the
union are observing intently Governor John
A. Johnson of Minnesota.
1t would be ludicrous to pick a candidate
at this time. but it must appear to all
students Of politics that Mr.. johnson looms
as large as any democrat Just at present.
Thrice elected governor Of a rock-ribbed
republican state the Minnesota ex-
ecutive stands a unique figure. Two Of his
victories were in presidential years" when
Minnesota gave overwhelming majorities to
the republican national candidates. Gov
ernor Johnson wears we'll. The people of
Minnesota would not have gone to such
pains to elect him three times did they not
feel Well acquainted with him and assured
Of his ability. go
Governor johnson may not be the demo.
cratic nominee four years hence, but 1t Is
no rash assertion ~topstate that if a demo-
cratic national convention were to be held
this week the Minnesota man would be
speedily selected. t.,-as.1 %

BULLYING OF WITNESSES.
An Unfair Practice Tolerated by the
Courts.
philadelphia Press.)

philadelphia Press.).
The American Bar association at its last
SUMMER session adopted a code of ethics
which contains with others this excellent
rule OF professional conduct:
"A lawyer should always treat witnesses
and suitors with fairness and due consid-
Grafton and should never minister to the
malevolence or prejudices Of a client in
the trial or conduct of a case"
There are some lawyers who do not APP
pear to nave heard of this rule. They need
to be shown. In the Standard Oil hearing
now being conducted in Chicago counsel for
the corporation begged the judge to direct
the governments counsel to stand farther
away from a witness and to stop shaking
his fist In the face of the witness" The
governments counsel protested that he had
not shaken his fist at the witness, but only
his eyeglasses.
Objection was then made to the shaking
of the eyeglasses, but the court was loath
to interfere with the ancient privilege OF
counsel to intimidate and browbeat VIII
nesses in this limited way, SO nothing was
done. We are glad. however, that counsel
registered his protest and protected the
witness as far as he could. Probably he
did not have at hand a copy of the new
code of ethics requiring that witnesses be
treated with consideration If the court
had been backed by an authority 1t might
have ruled in his favor and required coun-
sci to stand farther away from the witness
he was questioning and be less menacing
in his gestures.
The bullying of adverse witnesses is an
old device Of lawyers and 1t lie not pure
malevolence, but has a professional pur-
pose. 1t OFTEN frightens, angers or con-
fuses a witness and makes him destroy the
value of his previous testimony by contra
dictory and il-considered statements. II Is
sharp practice rather than good practice,
Is against the ethics of the profession as
authoritatively promulgated, and so far as
it is successful usually makes the worse
appear the better cause.
The Judges are the proper ones to enforce
the canon of legal ethics that forblds the
bullying or mistreatment of witnesses.
Doubtless that Is what they aim to do now
when convinced that the bullying has gone
far enough to warrant their interference,
but such wide latitude has been given to
lawyers in the past in the c-ross-examina-
ton of witnesses that for an examining
counsel to shake his eyeglasses in angry
fashion under the nose of a witness would
not be construed by many judges as lack
ing in due consideration. The canon of
ethics awaits judicial or other authoritative
construction in order TO make it really ef-
fective.

A REPUBLICAN, PARTY IN THE SOUTH
The south, ever more than the re-
publican party, is to be congratulated
upon the birth of a real republican or
oganization in many southern states.
The extent to which this new party
spirit has gone will not be demon
strated for some time, but 1t is already
established that in South Carolina, Vir-
ginia, Georgia and Alabama the repub-
licans made gains in the recent eleG-
lions which could have been secured
only by the active work of men OF
high character not heretofore iden-
titled with the republican skeleton
organizations in the different states,
Virginia went democratic this year by
less than half its usual majority and
Alabama made a similar record. Mr..
Taft carried twenty-six counties In
Georgia. He polled 41.263 votes. an
Increase Of 17.265 over Mr.. Roose-
velt's vote in 1904 and reducing Mr.
Bryan's plurality in the state to 49,
49I.
Much OF the credit for this change
must go to President Roosevelt, who
began several years g an effort tC
break up the old federal patronage ma
chimes in the southern states. These
machines were composed of republi
cans who made II their business Il
maintain a show OF Organization fol-
the sole purpose OF distributing
patronage, attending conventions and
debating federal appointments. Pres
ident Roosevelt adopted the policy o
refusing to recognize these so-cslleC
leaders unless they organized the part!
In every county and district in theil
states and placed tickets in the ielC
at every election. He went so far a
to take the federal patronage put o
their hands and in some states II
which the republicans had no real OF
ganiEation he called in representative,
democrats for consultation and adviel
when appointments were to be made
The result was an encouragement L
many men of standing in the soutl
Who believe in republican policies L
tAke part in the work of the republi
can organization. As a result, tn
prospect OF the birth and growth OF
healthy republican party south Of Ma
son and Dixon's line is real for tn
ret time since the civil war.

Omaha daily bee., 1908-11-12

Our amiable democratic contempor-
airy, the world-Herald, thinks it is
%springing a revelation by discovering
that $22,5OO was put into the Ne
braska campaign by the republican ma
tional committee. The World-Herald
is mistaken. The total was $4,000, as
will be shown by the official report,
and every CEN of it went through the
state committee treasury. Even at
that, it is safe to say that the repub-
licans had much less to spend than the
democrats, although the latter may not
list all the contributions they had from
brewers, corporations and other
specially interested interests.

admittedly the most representative pa
per of the south. in discussing The
growth Of the republican party in that
section, says:
Republicanism. We repeat. is strong
in the south than It has ever been. But
II is not strong enough to take root and
grow without cultivation from beyond
the south. It Is not lusty enough to
choke out the weeds. The northern re-
publicans, we think. will be content to
leave the field TO the weeds for some
years to come. After all, one republican
candidate has as good a chance as an
other in the rounding up" of the south
ern delegates.
Meantime, the News and Courier views
the subject with equsnimity-with an abb
stract interest, so to say. The arguments
for and against the advent Of republican
ism in the south are pretty evenly bal
anced.
1t is interesting to note, in this con
n%ection. that Debs did not poll a vote
in the state OF Georgia and but very
few in any southern state. Hisgen,
the Hearst candidate. with a Georgia
man with him on the ticket for vice
votes in Georgia and less in other
southern states. While man states of
the south have voted dry In the last
few years, Chain, the prohibition a n
didate, received fewer votes than Tom
Watson. The political contests in the
south in the future will be between
the republican and democratic parties,
with the new republicanism growing in
popularity.

A WORD no THE WISE.

If the brewers and liquor dealers Of
Omaha are as wise as they are given
credit with being they will withdraw
from circulation one G. E. Fields, who
constantly projects himself to the front
at the wrong momen in the nam of
the Retail Liquor Dealers association,
which he uses as its secretary.
This man Fields is a stencil in the
n~ostrils of decent people and it is time
Co suppress him. He does not seem to
know when to keep his place. He
thinks 1t is up to him to run for office
at every election and advertise himself
as the preferred candidate of the sa-
loon element.
1t Is such performances as Fields
which bring the liquor traffic into dis
repute. The brewers and liquor deal
ers who want to observe the law and
want their business protected as a
legitimate industry must depend upon
the good will and good Offices of the
business community to see to 1t that
they get a square deal. How they can
ask the business men of Omaha to go
to the front for them when they let a
fellow like Fields represent them and
speak for them passes comprehension.
1t will not do for them. either, to
deny hat they are responsible for
Fields. He is their creature abso-
lutely and lives off them, and they
cannot escape responsibility for him.
