AN ABYSSlNiAN ROYAL DINNER
Once a Week the New Ruler Gives
Feast for Subjects.

The new EcguS of AbysSnia, like
his predecessor on the throne before
him. gives a public dinner 70 an OF
his subjects once a week. when theS
may feast to their hearts content.
on the three great annual festivals
this "eheber' becomes spectacle
probably uncquallrd in the annals OF
court dinners. An Italian traveller
who has been privileged t" be present
describes it in a letter t" the Cor
riere.
The background of the harnlikc
structure which serves as dining
room is all but filed with the famous
throne bed which the French republic
had presented to tn" late King
Menrek: the present Negus. on the
occasion Of the state dinner. sat on
the edge Of it when the European
visitors the first to enter the room,

the hand. As soon as they were
seated and began to eat, King JarSu
also began. but his state digntarieS

may fall to.
The Abyssinian royal menu is
sprung al Il surprise on the European
who has expected either the food of
primitive man or the connections OF
a French chef. There are six courses,
but they do not vary much, the chief
ingredients of all being the flesh of
fowls. The table service is a curious
medley of costly. beautiful gold yes

The moment the Europeans have
ended their meal the curtains are
drawn aside and through every door
the stream Of natives pourS in.
There are 50 tables each one in

.Abyssinians are in an incredibly
short time engaged in feeding and

TAFT FOR SECOND TERM.

f. According to The Minneapolis Journ-
al, President Taft is Indifferent as to
a denomination. The Journal says:
President Taft, it is said. makes it
evident to those who breach the
subject to him that he is Indifferent
about second term. This Indifference
springs, not from any failure to ap-
preciate the value Of such a popular
Endorsement as reelection to his high
office, but from a determination not
to let petty political maneuvering for
a second term spoil the achievements
of the first tern.
The president, in short, is more in
tent on making a record for the pres
eni administration than on setting up
the pins for another. He is more de-
sirous OF keeping his promises now
than of making a new set of promises
for another campaign.
After all, is not this better way
than to descend to the plane of playing
politics of the peanut variety? Mr..
Taft conceivos that he made a bargain
with the people, whereby they were to
give him their votes. and he was to
give them his best efforts while in Of
flee tc effectuate certain legislation.
Like any outstanding man, he is now
doing mis- utmost to keep his end of the
bargain, and paying no attention what
ever to getting a chance to make an
other bargain
There is a lesson i'm this for con-
gress, too. The republicans in the
present congress made the same sort
of bargain with their constituents.
They are to report progress to the peo-
pie two years before the president does.
If they can report that they have car
ried out the agreement and have passed
the laws desired by the people-with
the single exception of the tariff bill,
which was not what the people wanted
they will stand far better prospects
of re. election than if they are obliged
to go into the campaign with a record
of broken promises and nothing done.

TOO MUCH POLITICS.

Fargo citizens were again frustrated
In their efforts to secure better water
supply. After three attempts the city
has made little Roadway and the foul,
disease-breeding, infectious ooze that is
called water is still being peddled
through the mains. 1t is a menace to
the health of every citizen.
The first plan to secure the Ultra
ton plant failed through an improper
drafting of the resolution. The su-
prems court set this aside and placed
the blame on City Attorney Resser.
Tho second attempt was voted down
by few people who preferred to graf
ify their personal spite and boost their
political ambitions-rather than do
something to relieve present conditions.
The legality of the resolution in that
finstance was unquestioned.
Tho third and last attempt was called
off because the resolution drawn by
CITY Attorney Resser was thought to
be Illegal in some respects and more
especially because of the failure TO
publish the usual election notice and
the designation of the polling places.
For this latter omission both City At
torney Resser and City Auditor Morgan
are held responsible.
The city council has at all times
showed disposition to give the peo-
pie decent water supply. In this re-
spect they have acted in good faith.
In the original election their attention
was called to the apparent illegality of
the resolutions but they depended on
the city attorney to get things right
The situation was somewhat compli-
lcated by the effort to inject the munich
pal lighting question into the first scrap
and they decided to leave 1t out OF the
second. 1t was a case of damned If
they do and damned If they don't"
The last time they started bo5n
propositions and the voters are familiar
with the flasco. Common fairness COM
pels the admission thai the councilmen
have performed their duties with an
honesty Of purpose and played square
with the people.
Tho position taken by some oppon-
ents of the bond issue is scarcely cred
table to the men who have so bitterly
