his prerogative-not his duty-to inter vene even with suggestions. The final Consequence may be the exercise of his unquestioned veto power and the whole troublesome and cumbersome business coming to nothing.
 Such utter futility! And yet 1t is said that the speech of Secretary Macveagh in Chieago-in which he praised Mir. Taft's inaction. in contrast with his predecessors strenuosity-- was in part dictated by the President himself Such self-praise is fatuous.
 Undoubtedly the President has the prerogative to address Congress in this matter. The law expressly authorizes him to send messages on the "state of the Union." And certainly the tariff revision comes under that head MT. Taft. however, seems to be quite proud of his neglect of this right. And the story is that he entertains the idea that he will make a great popular hit by vetoing the work of Senator Aldrich.
 It ought, no doubt, to be vetoed. But, meantime, why is there a President? |? Why did the country go to a vast deal of fuss and expense to elect MT. Taft? IN. Y. American.

The bigamist-burglar recently ap- prehended in California. and who con fcssed that he was "muchly married man." having the round number of twenty wives. is a man of rare courage. regardless of the fact that his crime is one of great enormity in the eyes of the present generation.
 It is not many years since gentle men of the road who held up the un- wary traveller were considered men of courage and withal dashing rogues. Their names stood for fame along the countryside, and their gay manners were pleasing to the fair sex of that period
 Johnson Chat being the prosaic cog nomen of the gentlemen in question: !s none the less romantic because of his practicing a profession relegated to a century ago in this enlightened age In fact he has his predecessors in this art beaten several city blocks as to style and number.
 Instead of the galloping horse with flowing manc and silken coat, he glides swiftly about the country in highly polished and powerful "joy wagon. making nightly calls on the rich gen try and making a benzine getaway leaving as a clue nothing but a thin streak of smoke and odor for tho minions of the law to grasp.

TALKING BIRDS ARE NOT GOOD
 FLYERS.

The City of Dayton, the State of Ohio and the United States of America are all eager to applaud and bemedal the Wright Brothers today.
 But why do these representative American inventors whose spirit of daring. adventure and innovation k supposed to be of the very genius ut this country, find it necessary to go to Europe to do most of their work?
 Why do they find at home only ora tions and applause?
 There are diverse lands in the earth. Some of them are specially good 70 work in-and others to talk in.
 It has been supposed that America hs. par excellence. the land of deeds, and that the countries of Continental Flu rope are lands of words.
 How shall we explain the reversal Wright Brothers? How shall We ex- plain the conspicuous failure of Amer ican capital to give any kind of adc- quate support to the creative minds that are spending themselves on the rldabsorbing problems of aerial navigation?
 It is said that MT. Wilbur Wright once lodged an after-dinner speech with the telling remark that "the par rot is the only bird that talks-and he is not good flyer"
 There is no doubt about our still having the inventors in America.
 The question is, what has become f the bold and far seeing business en- upon great ideas and work them into the concrete FIX.

MILsURN AS DEVILS ADVOCATE.

John c. Milburns eulogy of the Standard oil Trust in the United States Circuit Court at St. Louis dis played a touching devotion to his em- ploycrs. but somehow the halo fails to
 fit the head it was fashioned for. The people in general will refuse to
 believe that the arbitrary taxing power
 lodged in the hands of this vast and
 menacing monopoly is national bless
 ing.
 | The investigation of the. affairs pf
 the United States Commissioner of Corporations was more impressive than
 the special pleading of MT. Milburn. It
 was found that the Trust was making
 profit of fifty to sixty per cent on
 it's capital, that it's prices were alto
 gether excessive" and that they had
 "been greatly increased during recent years"
 | Even if the price of refined oil were
 constantly falling. through the per
 fccting of the organization of the oil business and the general technical and
 commercial advance of modern civi!- | ization, the people could not rest sat
 isfied with the existence of a private
 power so gigantic and arbitrary and :, political influence so insidious and cor
 rupting as the oil Trust has proven itself to be.
 The dramatic struggle over the oil
 tariff schedule on the floor of the
 House of Representatives has awak-
 ened the country to a fresh and vivid
 conception of the enormous strength of
 the Trusts political resources. Tine
 Speaker of the House descended from
 his dais to plead it's cause. The "countervaling duty'-which. in
 the teeth of MT. Cannon's opposition,
 the House has done it's best to abolish | is said to have been worth some | thing like fifteen million dollars year
 to the Trust.
 But the Trust is so rich in devices | that it would be nasty to assume that | it has met with serious defeat. If the countervaling duty kept the oil re- | liners of Europe from cutting the Standard oil price three cents a gallon, | in the American market it also pre- vented the Trust from making use if the cheap crude oil of Mexico. Prudence suggests that we refuse io assume the defeat of the most mon strous prive power that has risen in modern times-and that we take other wise than seriously the soft and seduc- tive babble of Mir Milburn.
