The drawing to a close OF the Cornhusker
athletic year and the playing of the games
with Kansas at Antelope park brings to
mind that these will probably be the last
contests the Nebraska athletes will be
forced to hold on a hired field, for by next
fall, when the gridiron season opens. Ne
braska will have an athletic field of it's
own again. Since receiving an appropria-
ton from the recent legislature the Board
Of Regents has been going ahead in con-
demning property and purchasing lots on
the site for the new field, adjoining the
present campus, and now II is certain that
a gridiron will be ready for the first foot
ball games OF the season. There no longer
il any doubt about getting some kind Of a
field. Il Is now only a question of how
much space the regents will be able TO
purchase with their present funds. For

and two lots in a second block could be

THE NEW PENAL CODE.

There are some points concerning
the new penal code recently passed
by Congress, which should be noted
in particular by members of the
legal fraternity as we'll as by the
public In general. This code, which
does not take effect until January
], 1910. does not embrace all the Of
fences named in the United States
statutes. On the other hand II does
provide punishment for various Of
fences which have never been named
heretofore in the national statutes.
In order to appreciate this work It
may be we'll to consider the steps
taken in Connection with tho revision
of the penal code. In 1897 a COM
mission wns appointed for tho pur-
pose OF making a revision OF the ma =
ticnal statutes and that bedy made
n report in 1901, but the results of
its work were not adopted nor even
debated by Congress. The commits
sion in question went out OF Of
fee In December, 1907, and the task
Of revising tho statutes OF tho ma
ton was taken up by Joint com
mittee on revision representing the

PRESIDENT TAFT'S INAUGURAL.
ADDRESS.

President Taft's inaugural address
reaches tho high plane expected by
his admirers everywhere. and II Is
signifcan. that this is the greatest
praise one can give the utterance. 50
high is the public's estimate of our
new chief executive. The President
holds the Office OF the inaugural ad-
dress to be to give a summary out
line OF the policies OF the new admin
istration. and he has endeavored to
fulfill this expectation succinctly and
concisely yet compensatory.
President Taft Httngly pays tribute
to the policies of his distinguished
predecessor, and expressed his deter
mination to make the maintenance
and enforcement OF those reforms
most important featur. OF his own
administration. At the same time he
recognizes that in order to make those
reforms lasting and yet ensure free
dNn from alarm on the part OF those
progressive methods, further lesisla
| ton and executive action are needed
| President Taft refers especially to re-
| lief OF the railroads from certain re-
strctions urged by his predecessor
and to be urged by himself.
| On the other hand the President
speaks Of Legislation looking to prop
err federal supervision and restriction
to prevent excessive issue Of bonds
and stocks by companies owning and
operating interstate railroads. He
hopes to submit suggestions for i'm
proved legislation Affecting Interstate
railroads and industrial combinations
at the regular session of Congress in
December. He emphasizes the desir.
ability OF measures to ensure stability
and certainty in connection with our
business interests.
The most important subject discuss
revision. He announces that in &C
cordance with the promises Of tn,
national platform ne will call a spe
cial session OF Congress on March II
next for the purpose OF revising tn,
Dngley tariff act. He empha size
the importance OF providing for rev

ENFORCE THE TAX LAW.

The assessors elected in the differ
ent cities and towns OF Vermont have
an unusual degree Of responsibility
at this time In view of the develop
ments Of the past few years In con-
nection with the subject OF taxation.
We have had the beneht OF reports
from a special commission on taxa
ton as result OF prolonged and
comprehensive investigation OF the
situation in different towns. and the
burden of complaint is that assessors
have not enforced tho law or carried
out the letter or spirit of tax legisla-
ton so far as their own acts are con-
cerned. There are marked exceptions
to this situation as In Burlington. but
the structure applies very generally.
1t follows as a matter OF course that
listers who neglect to comply with
the provisions Of the law as to ths
manner in which they shall perform
their own duties. can not be expected
to be strenuous in their insistencs
that other citizens shall obey the law
in every particular. Indeed assessors
who disregard the law themselves are
not In a position to exact obedience
to the requirements OF the law from
| others.
| 1t Is the general testimony OF those
who have given thorough study ~ 2hs
| subject that II our present law IN re-
