Springfield CMass.) Republican Qnd).
The popular strength Of the republican
candidate, however, will not depend entire
tirely upon superior administrative auali-
hcations, nor upon that polse of temper
ament which makes him attractive to con-
servative interests. Mr.. Taft's capacity az
a getter of votes must remain a mere sur
mise until November, for he has never be-
fore been a candidate for an elective office.
Yet so far as personal prestige in this
respect is concerned, he should not be at
a disadvantage compared with an opponent
of whom 1t might be said that he Is dis
.tinguished, like the aeronaut, in having
twice fallen from the skies and in being
still in some measure alive. II Mr.. Taft has
never been elected to anything, it is a long
time since Mr.. Bryan suffered anything
but defeat. While not notable as an ora
tor, Mr.. Taft has qualities of mind and
body that should enable him to inspire
popular enthusiasm TO a considerable ex-
tent and bring him into close touch with
the masses OF the electorate. His Gam
paign speeches are sure to be, clear and
simple in thought, and forcibly expressed.

ON FARNAM RAISE
Representatives of Business Consider
Valuations Too High.
FULL HEARING ON FRIDAY
victor ROsewater Appears by Request
of Board Chairman and Expresses
S~atiafactiOn with Increase
IL IL is Eaualized.

Twenty-Five men representing real estate
on Farnam street between Fifteenth and
Twentieth, the assessment on which has
been increased 100000 by the County Board
of Equalization, appeared before the board
Monday to protest against the action. The
increase OF valuations in a single district
Of the city was objected to as unjust to
that part OF the city. After a running dis
cussion lasting over an hour the matter
was deferred until Friday morning at 10
O'Clock, by which time the board expects
to have made raises in other parts of the
retail district. They will all be taken up
together.
Attorneys and real estate men arguing
against the radical increase of the board
declared 1t was unjust to raise values in
enc district and not over the entire county;
that the speculative value OF .he property
should not be used as a basis of value for
assessment purposes and that the general
welfare of the city demanded a reduction
of valuations below the figures fixed by
the board. Agents declared their monied
clients would be afraid to invest more
money in Omaha Improvement II 1t were
to go out that valuations in this district
have been increased from so to 100 per
cent. Some Of tho speakers referred to the
present rise In zeal estate valus as a
furry and they declared values might drop
before the end of the four-year period for
which the real estate assessment is made.
Among those who spoke were Henry F.
Wyman, w. F. Smith. Charles George.
George Barker. w. T. Graham, L. +. Gro
foot, Thomas McCague, John A. Scott, F.
A. Brogan, Edgar M. Morsman. T. F.
Hall. F. r.. Ransom, Edgar F. Scott and
Victor Rosewater.
Mr.. Rosewater spoke at the request OF
Chairman Trainor of the board. He said
he did not agree with some of the speakers
who feared a collapse of real estate values.
He said he thought probably the values
proposed by the board were a little too
high in some instances, but he had no OBJ
lection to an increase over the assessors
figures provided the increase was equalized
over the other real estate.
The discussion was brought to a close by
a motion from Kennard to lay the matter
over until Friday morning, when other in
creases will be taken up.
The board has made some substantial
reductions on elevator property. Merriam
G. Holmquist was reduced from SEQ, 900 to
rs 900 on one elevator and from $40, 900 to
$SO,OOO on another. The Nye-schneider-
Fowler Grain company was reduced from
ing the assessors returns.
The board Of equalization Monday after
noon ordered a reinspection of all the inn
provements on real state In Union precinct.
This was done because 1t was believed the
assessment on improvements in this pre-
cinct was too low.

TIL republican party has nominated its
strongest man.
The vote Of the Chicago convention is
evidence that Mr.. Taft has the entire con-
fidence of the party, both as to his char
acter and his availability. There is uni
versal pleasure in the party over his nomi-
nation, and 1t begins the campaign with
courage and confidence, knowing that 1t
has at the head of the ticket a popular,
able and experienced man. II their choice
of vice president is equally happy, the re-
publican delegates may well claim the
plaudits of their party adherents for the
work done at Chicago.
During the four months Intervening be-
tween this date and the election Mr.. Taft
will become better known to his country
men. He has nothing to fear from the
revelations made by the fierce light that
beats upon a presidential nominee. The
country will like him better as 1t knows
him better. 1t will find in him a well
rounded, s~elf-poised, clear-headed and
clean-hearted American, qualified by ex-
perience on the bench and in executive po-
sitions to fill the great office for which
he has been nominated. Republicans will
be glad TO note in him the qualities that
are most admired in public men. and demo-
Gratis will find little in him to c~riticise.

MISSIONARIES AND COMMERCE

In a rather notable address at the
commencement exercises of the Uni
versity of Illinois, Minister WI Ting
fang adroitly pointed the way by which
the American missionaries now labor
ing in China may be of greatest value
to this country and to the Chinese
people. Mr.. WI did not belittle mis-
sionary methods and made no critl-
cism of the desire of Jealous Christians
to win the Chinese from a religion
that was centuries old when Chris
tianity was born, but he did propose a
plan by which much Of the energy now
expended in purely religious lines
might be made more effective If the
work of the missionaries were placed
on a more commercial basis better re-
suits would follow.
The Chinese minister's suggestion
was contained in a picture of the won
derful potentialities of the Chinese
ration when its resources shall have
been developed and its people elevated
to a higher standard of living than
thew have yet attained. In his opin-
ion the regeneration of China n the
advancement Of its people is to come
through the betterment of living con-
ditions. In a former address, Minister
WI remarked that China stood In
greater need of plumbers than OF
preachers, which, in effect, Is h point
he urged in his commencement day
address. He sought to make it plain
that the need in China is for better
houses, more sanitary conditions OF
homes and cities, the adoption of west
ern modes in clothing, conveyance ana
domestic economy, the improvement OF
TRANSPORTATION facilities and general
adoption of the standard of living COM
mon in the United States. The adop-
ton of this standard by the 4OO,OOO,-
600 people in China would create a
Chinese import trade which, as MT
WI expressed it, would reach hgures
surprising the representations of the
most optimistic statisticians' IL
would mean a demand for the products
of the farms and factories OF the
world. In return, the minister prom
ised the development Of a coal supply
in China sufficient to supply the world
long after the sources now being
drawn upon shall have been exhausted
Wisely refraining from discussing
the work of missionaries from any an
tagonistic viewpoint, Mr.. WI leaves
the inference that the advancement OF
the missionary aims would be best
served by effort looking first to the
Improvement Of the physical and ma
terial betterment of the Chinese peo'
nile

Nebraska republicans will. we be-
lieve, feel that they were satisfactor-
lily represented by their delegation at
the Chicago convention. Having been
the first to take an open stand for the
candidacy Of Mr.. Taft, Nebraska was
recognized everywhere as occupying a
strong station near the head of the
Taft column and Nebraska's sixteen
votes went on the presidential nomi-
nation Just where they we're counted
licans Of Nebraska wanted them to go.
The loyal devotion of Nebraska TO the
Taft movement secured for Nebraska's
governor serious consideration as q
ticket, although finally the delega-
TONS votes we're divided for the vice
presidency between Mr.. Sherman and
Governor Guild.
On the various platform PROPOSE
tons separately voted the Nebraska
delegation is recorded as u%pholding
some of the more advanced positions
taken from time to time in our state
platforms Notwithstanding the fact
that these declarations have not Sc
cured the endorsement of the party
throughout the nation. Popular cleo
ton of United States senators, for ex-
ample, is partially provided for in the
preference vote permitted by our state
constitution. Nebraska republican
legislatures have repeatedly adopted
resolutions calling upon congress to
submit an amendment to the federal
constitution to this end and Nebraska
republicans have gone as far as they
can in this direction in providing for
the nomination of candidates for
United State senator by direct primary
vote. The rejection by the convention
Of the plank for popular election OF
senators does not discredit Nebraska
republicans, but shows that the Ne
braska plan put into effect by repub-
lican legislation is the most advanced
step toward the election of United
States senators by direct vote practi-
cable under existing conditions. II
the democrats in Nebraska undertake
to attack this position they will find
themselves in the awkward dilemma OF
having refused more than once to
make a nomination for senator against
the. republican candidate to appeal to
the people when they had an oppor-
tunity to do so.
Outside of the membership of the
delegation Nebraska was fully in evil
dence at Chicago and visitors from
Nebraska, as compared with visitors
from the other states, were unusually
well provided for. Not only this, but
Nebraskans who participated in the
Chicago convention are all coming
home with refreshed republican in
,piration enlisted for the campaign.

PARCELS POST AGREEMENT.

Following close upon the agreement
between the United States and Great
Britain for reduction of letter postage
between the two countries to 2 cents,
Postmaster General Meyer announces
a new convention by which merchan-
disc up to eleven pounds may be sent
by parcels post between the. United
States and Italy at the rate of IL
cents a pound. The rate in this coun-
try is 16 cents per pound, with a four
pound weight limit. The convention
just made with Italy is similar to that
already in force with Great Britain,
France, China, Germany and other
parties to the international postal
union.
Each agreement of this kind en-
phasizes the exasperating difficulty of
securing a readjustment Of domestic
parcels post rates. 1t is possible now
to send a parcel weighing four pounds
to Rome or Shanghai for 4S cents,
while "a cents would be charged for
sending the same parcel through the
mails from Omaha to Council Bluffs
or to Lincoln. While the parcel for
Council Bluffs or Lincoln must not
weigh more than four pounds, one
weighing eleven pounds may be sent to
Italy, China or almost any foreign
country.
Postmaster General Meyer has
urged congress to enlarge the parcels
post system in this country and 1t is
believed that such action will be
taken at the short session this winter
Opposition to the measure proposed
has come from the express companies
and from rural merchants who profess
to believe that a parcels post would
work to their disadvantage and to the
special benefit OF the mail-ordei
houses in the large cities. At existing
rates the Postoffice department
charges more than do the express com
panies for the transportation of pack
ages weighing tour pounds. The ex
press charge on a four-pound package
from Omaha to Chicago rarely ex
ceeds % to 40 cents, while the postag'
charge is 81 cents. The Obvious result
is to furnish the express companie
with a vast and exclusive source o
revenue that would otherwise be di
vided with the postoffice.

A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW.

There's a picture in the window
OF a little shop l know,
With boys and girls dressed as they were
A hundred years ago.
And since l saw Il. | have thought,
And keep on thinking how
The children, maybe, Will be dressed
A hundred years from row.
VIII girls wear caps or fa~rthingales,
Or hoops in grand array?
VIII they wear bows and butterflies,
Just as they do today?
VIII boys wears Jackets short, or Tie
Their hair in queues? Just how
They'll really look, I'd like TO know
A hundred years from now.
What do you think the girls and boys
VIII eat In those far daysY
Will they be fed on breakfast toous
In many sorts Of ways?
VIII all the good and tasty Things
BE worse for them than riceF
VIII ice cream soda make them SICK
And everything that's nice?
VIII children's books have pictures then
on lust all reading be?
Perhaps they'll be hand-painted ana
Most beautiful to see.
But when | think OF those l have.
l truly don't see how
They can be any p%rettier
A hundred years from now
