Frank II. Hitchcock, the political
field marshal of the Taft administrd-

regular session next winter. viii put the
proposition up TO congress in the

Furthermore, the administration is
now preparing the Identical statehood
bin which will be introduced stimuli
taneously in both branches of CON
gress at the beginning OF the regular
session in December. This is being
done by the law Officers OF the depart
mont Of the interior, under the direc-
ton of President Taft and Secretary
Ballinger. The promoters OF state
hood legislation in congress are willing
TO accept whatever notifications of
the enabling act the administration
may deem advisable.
The enthusiastic support of former
President Roosevelt also is counted III
favor of the legislation. Mr.. Roose-
welt has long been an energetic adNo-
cate Of statehood for these territories.

are expecting the former President

Women and YARN Life.

While Secretary Wilson Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture was singing
the song Of the farmers Joy over his
banner year Of production and profit,
the club women Of the west we're con-
sidering the condition Of the farmers
wives, with the resultant announce
ment that for every member Of the
family the slogan Back to the farm"
has everything TO commend II.
In the early days Of the west it was
a common remark of eastern women
that they pitied their western sisters,
whom they pictured as going insane by
wholesale because of their dreary iso-
lation and monotonous existence. But
today the tables are reversed, and the
eastern dweller in cramped city quar-
ters is learning to look with envy upon
the prosperity and contentment of the
farmers wife in the west.
Truth is, the day of drudgery on the
farm Is past. The development Of
agricultural resources has amazed the
nation, and the farmer with his auto
mobile and leisure to enjoy it is a iv-
ing reality as well as q stock joke for
the newspapers. In ALI the progression
the wife has shared, Just as she shared
the hardships in the pioneer days.
Now she has commonly as much help
in her home duties as has the average
city woman, she has the same COM
forts of modern conveniences. and if
she has not neighbors crowding her at
every turn Of her elbow, she has a
broader outlook upon the world and
can hold social intercourse with her
chosen friends over the telephone, or
by means Of her motor car can join an
agreeable gathering as readily as
though at the very center Of popula-
tion. Rural delivery is another human
touch with her kind, and she has her
own clubs and similar interests, as
readily accessible and as entertaining
and edifying as any in the land.
Altogether, the time for wasting
pity on the poor farmers wife is past.
except in those isolated cases where
the failure to rise above old conditions
must be attributed to individual fail
ure to respond to those influences
which have made home life in the west
so independent and happy for the
farmer and his wife and family.

Republicans and Reform.

The report of the Nebraska Railway
commission to the governor is a sum-
ming up of accomplishments that the
citizens of the state will do we'll to re-
view in detail. Without question it
is as remarkable a showing as was
ever made by body similarly consti-
tuted.
Less than three years ago this body
went into office under title that was
Immediately questioned in the courts,
and was sustained in all particulars.
Laws for it's guidance and operation
were passed at the time the body was
organized, and in the short time that
has elapsed since it's formation it has
achieved more in the way Of beneficial
reform as regards railroad rates and
service than had ever been done in all
the history of the state. The enforce
ment of the Sibley law against the ex-
press companies in itself is a SUFFICIENT
triumph for the railway commission,
but this is only one of its many vic
tories for the people. 1t is still en-
gagged in securing reforms in service
that will be for the good of the public
One point should not be overlooked
This board was constituted by a repub-
lican legislature. It's membership has
been republican from the beginning,
and the'laws 1t has been called upon to
enforce were enacted by republicans
and approved by republican governor.

the democrats are in any wise RESPONSE

make it more difficult to prosecute it's
violators. The republicans of Ne

The Nation,s Finances.

There is evident in the annual re-
port Of the secretary of the treasury
a cooperation with the announced pol
icy of the administration for close
economy and for more concerted con-
sideration of the system of estimates
and appropriations which in this coun-
try takes the place of the budget that
perplexes European nations. 1t must
be evident to the observer Of Wash
ington events that the government is
we'll on it's way toward final form of
reorganization of it's fiscal responsible
tiles, evolving a scientific method of
appropriations which shall be a
marked gain over the haphazard mode
of the past.
The new idea gives every assurance
that the treasury will hereafter be
wisely administered as a unit, not only
as regards the passing Of appropria-
tions by congress, but also as concerns
the routine of the department, where
It Is apparent that the application Of
more modern business customs will
simplify the work and eliminate anti
uuated and roundabout red-tape pro-
cedure.
1t is clear that progress is being
made in the dealings of the comp
troller of the currency with the ma
tional banks, and that directors have
been stimulated to a livelier and more
detailed sense of their active RESPONSE
bilities. The secretary announces a
radical improvement in the ruling that
examiners hereafter must be identified
with the service, having no political or
financial afiliation. The year has un-
doubtedly witnessed a considerable
strengthening of the banking interests.
Secretary MacVeagh is very precise
in his Interpretation of the corporation
tax, and he makes clear that the treas
ury expects to collect per cent of the
actual net profits Of each taxable cor
poration from all its sources of reve-
nues. Banking and currency reform
he finds to be stillfa matter for the
future to determines and he argues
convineingly for ansultimate form of
adjustable currency. aand trustworthy
surplus reserves, two absolutely es-
sential features OF any banking system
upon which the finances and the com
merce Of this great nation can securely
rest" His attitude against any make
shift legislation may be construed as
part Of the Administrations policy of
deferring all action until a rational.
harmonious agreement for the cure Of
existing evils shall have been reached

Extending Our influence Abroad

The proposal to raise the United
States minister to China to the rank Of
ambassador with the accession of Mr..
Calhoun to that office, has to recon-
mend 1t the fact that with the in
creased dignity of the post it's incum-
bent would have fuller opportunity for
developing our relations not only with
the Chinese empire, but throughout the
far east.
There can be no doubt that our neg
lect of business opportunities in the
field beyond the open door has been
due chiefly to the lack of understand
ing in commercial circles OF just how
vast those opportunities we're, and 1t
may well be that in thus honoring our
representative to Peking we will i'm
press upon our own people the tre-
mendous importance of the post, and
awaken the mercantile interests to the
fuller significance of the open door.
To the world at large, such eleva-
tion Of the minister would serve as
notification that we are not to be lag
gard in any respect in the matter of
international diplomacy as affecting
affairs in that part of the world, and
immediate strengthening of our pres
tige would undoubtedly follow.

Civil Snrvios Pensions.

The subject OF civil service pensions
cannot much longer be evaded, yet
there will be some hesitaney on the
part OF congress to fasten another pen
sion system upon the country at a
time when the military pension list
is being increased by the recent old
age legislation and BY the never-ceas-
ing opportunities for the augmenting
Of old allowances.
SECRETARY MacVeagh pointssout that
we are the only nation that has no gem
erai legal retiring pension for en-
ployes OF the civil service, except as
pertains to the Judiciary, while large
universities and Industrial corpora
tions OF the country have taken strides
along this very line. He fnds that the
public service is blocked In many in
stances by the unwillingness OF the
ofheials in charge to throw out worthy
men and women who have given the
best Of their lives to the work of the
government, 80 that, he argues, we
