ANOTHER "NUILIFIER."

Fremont Herald (dem.): The Lincoln
News utters the statement that some OF
the leading democrats in Lincoln have moi
been slow to express their ehagrln over
the action Of John J. Sullivan in accepting
employment to make a legal attack upon
the new Nebraska law which provides for
an annual tax upon corporations. II Judge
Sullivan has hired himself out to a. bunch
OF corporation men to tear down the law
built up by a democratic legislature. we
fear that 1t is not calculated to improve
his chances of election.
Stanton Picket: Judge Sullivan is to
file a suit to attack the constitutionality
OF the occupation tax which was provided
for in a law enActed last winter. I'm
der this tax every corporation doing busi-
ness in Nebraska has to pay the secretary
OF state a stated sum annually. So far
there has been collected about $50, 600.
though at least 5000 Of the corporations
listed with the secretary rave not paid.
When the bill was pending in the leglsIa-
ture II was believed by it's adherents that
1t would raise about 10000 annually. II
has been found, however, that at least
1000 OF the corporations which have
their articles on file, have gone out OF

When the European doctor spoke Of
e. H. Hartman as a starved man he
probably did not mean that the pa
tient had not eaten enough, but rather
that he had not sssimilated enough.
Certain types Of men easily permit un-
wise nerve habits to suspend diges-
tion. II may be over-excitement or
over-congestiou Of the brain centers,
work prolonged beyond reasonable
limit, effort at the wrong time. stag
nan air or Unsolicited food.
Mr.. Hartman belongs to the easily
starved class. He works under ten
sion. Neuroiogists say hat the most
fatiguing nerve work consists of rap
idly transferring concentrated atten-
tion from one subject to another. Ex-
actly that is the Hartman habit. His
secretary says that his quickness in
dealing with figures is as phenomenal
as his ability to keep a great many
things in his head at once OF course,
no man can have more than one thing

a capable man a acquire a habit Of
extremely rapid oscillation that seems
like instsntaneousness. No doubt
Hartman has that ability even be-
yond the limit of average clever men.
New York evidently does not like
the look Of the Hartman case. 1t is
a trouble Of the sort from which men
often quickly recuperate. It is also
of the sort which kills quickly or
leads to a hopeless breakdown. New
York business men are probably not
in possession OF any direct information
from the Hartman physicians, but
there are a hundred neurologists who
know the published symptoms. In
fact, every physician has a general
knowledge Of ~auto-toxins produced by
the causes obvious IN the Hartman
instance. New York is apprehensive
and thinks that 1t knows something
more than the public knows. Yet q.
H. Hartman is just the man to
emerge in working health. 1t is a
case of legitimate public interest,

REGULATION and Tax Power.

Judge Parker's paper IN the cor
poration AK hnds its antidote in the
address Of the president of the Amer
lean Bar association. Even before the
associations annual meeting the COM
mon sense OF the nation had perceived
Judge Parker's weak points. One
need not be a great lawyer 10 reach
the thought that II the people with
one accord choose radically to alter
their ways Of doing business they will
alter the laws to protect the rights of
the different parties in current bust
ness AFFAIRS.
IT is we'll to treat the constitution
with respect, even with a reverence
beyond the Implication Of its spirit
and letter, but the schoolboy knows
that when Washington died neither
his followers nor his critics had an
inkling Of a railroad or dreamed of q
time when the breakfast on the Po-
tomac would be furnished forth with
fruit from California, bacon from
Iowa, fresh chops from Chicago and
new-lAid eggs from Texas. They were
not meditating on trafio by mea OF
which they would buy shoes made in
Boston, from leather tanned in Phil.

cago, from cattle grown in Idaho
There was no notion hat cities in the

Army and Navy.

Economies in department expendi-
lures 1T Washington are aycredit to
the administration. Secretary Nagel
has performed a particularly useful
act in arranging to reduce the ex-
penses OF the census, a field in which
carelessness In spending money and
expensive favoritism in personnel have
heretofore been considered necessary
parts OF the undertaking.
President Taft's reported intention
to reduce the size Of the army will not
strike the country as so obviously de-
sirable. Nor Wal the readiness he dis
played before about cutting down ma
val appropriations. Any practical
economies are right enough, but av-
ings which lower the efficiency or suf-
nciency of the ships do not comport
with a great nation. We have never
In our existence as a nation been fully
prepared for a war. Yet with the war
customs OF China we talk with the
highly charged belligefencea Of the
kaiser.
Mr.. Taft is a prudent statesman,
not ore to be affected by the ire
sponsible se~ntimentality Of one class
nor the provocative thoughtlessness Of
another. He may see his way now
through the difficulties of increasing
demands of government and a deficit
caused by temporarily short reve-
nues, But he is not likely to risk a
weakened army and navy on the sup
position that no hostilities are within
the range of probability.
The military resources of the coun-
try, especially from a police and coast
guard standpoint, have been strength
ened by better organization Of the
militia, but that, 10 far. is rather a
hope than a reliance. Trained regu-
lars are and must continue for some
time to be the dependence Of a mill
tary power.
