When She Got Her Name.

Rocky Knoll, Nov. 5.-Special:
Rocky Knoll church was named be-
fore she was born, or directly after
wards Mr.. Skcedaddlcr, the writer
in last weeks issue, gave a few facts
as to how Rocky Knoll came by her
name. Mr.. Skccdaddler must have
been in the pine fields with the bro
ken bottles and jars with the other
sH"edaddlcrs. as he knows so much
about it. SO we don't think that
Mr.. Skeedaddler could have changed
the name Of Rocky Knoll without
going to the Legislature, and we are
sure he hasn't the money to go on.
Mr.. Skccdaddler carries his own
faults on his back where he can't
see them, and other peoples faults
in front OF him SO ne can see them.
We think Mr.. Skeedaddler was ont
OF job when he wrote the Rocky
Knoll or Skoedaddle local notes.

night at Rocky Knoll, and preaching

The five boys from Walhalla must
have thought that it was time to
gather corn for Mr.. Skeedaddler.

What is your answer?
Controlled Nexspapers.

The Atchison Globe says that no adver-
tiser has ever tried to control it's editorial
policy, the remark being occasioned by the
charge often made nowadays, that the bis
advertisers direct the editorial policy of
newspapers.
The experience of the Globe is the eX-
perience of most newspapers. The mar
chant who does a great deal of advertising
is more interested in the circulation de-
partment of newspaper than in the edl-
torial department, If daily paper goes to
the homes of the people, and is read Ly
them, he is satisfied, and it may chasa
after any theory or fad for all he cares.
He has troubles of his own, and he isn't
trying to shoulder those of the editorial
brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by peo-
pie outside of the editorial rooms and a
good many of them, more's the pity; but
the people exercising that control are not
the business men who pay their money for
advertising space. The newspapers which
are established for political purposes are
often controlled by chronic officeseekers,
whose first concern is their own interests.
There are newspapers controlled by great
corporations, and the voice of such news
papers Is always raised in protest against
any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usually is
controlled by its owner. and he is supposed
to be in duty bound to make all sorts of
sacrifices at all sorts of times; there arc
people who consider it his duty to insult

That Meeting At Beverly.

President Taft and former President
Roosevelt have met, laughed. talked
and parted and so far as those present
or those absent have been able to dis
Germ, the meeting proved to be as cor
dial as it could have been between two
old friends and mutual admirers who
had not seen one another for sixteen
months. 1t was. in fact, impressive
in its spirit of affectionate friendship.
The two men chatted for more than
two hours, punctuating their CONVEX
sation with frequent peals of laughter,
indicating that they were really enjoy
ing themselves. Since last they had met
both had had many new and strange
experiences, and doubtless they found
enjoyment in exchanging these exper-
fences.
II any disappointed statesman or
politician can find in the meeting al
Beverly the least sign of a disinte-
grated friendship he must have pene-
trating vision. We believe the popu-
lar verdict will be that Taft and Roose-
welt are just as good friends today and
as they were March 4, 1909, when one
stepped out of the White House to
make way for the other. AS simplt
matter of fact, why should they not
be? Nothing has happened to estrange
them; President Taft has gone on car
rying out, as far as they extended, the
Roosevelt policies and giving the coun-
try an able, courageous and exceedingly
strong administration and that too
without any apparent thought that he
in his conduct was amenabIe to any
one individual, but to the whole people.
All this talk of Taft upsetting what
are known as Roosevelt policies is
pure fiction, but industriously circu.
lated to take hold of unthinking minds
AS time proceeds, however, and people
view things in the light of dispassion.
ate judgment, they are brought to real
ize that whose ever policies have beer
carried out, the Taft administration
has thus for been productive Of
tangible results. With his keen in.
sight, Theodore Roosevelt sees this and
must have expressed delight many
times to his old friend and taken tc
himself a degree of pride in the vindi.

mending William II. Tart to the people

ing at Beverly to the sinister hopes ant
aspirations of those persons who have

and Taft would cease to be friends ant

Good Move for Maryland.

Governor Crothers is exerting some
practical influence in organizing a
movement for the betterment of the
farms and farmers of Maryland. His
mission Is not new, Of course, being
akin to the Roosevelt country life
commission project, but 1t is unique
so far as states are concerned, except
as IL bears some relation to the back
to-the-farm colony plan of Governor
Hadley in Missouri.
Farmers of Maryland have for years
cultivated their soil without much
definite aim and little or no scientific
knowledge as to soil culture or the
need for varying crops. They have
pursued the old lines of blowing and
planting and reaping without due
thought of the future and their soil
has become impoverished until today
the situation calls for prompt and in
telligent action. Governor Crothers,
who is practical farmer, therefore,
proposes a commission of experts who
shall go over the state, studying every
condition and need and then applying
such remedies as will meet the case.
These experts are to teach the farmers
| by communities the lessons of modern
farming, not merely conduct little
hearings and cross-examinations and
go away and leave the work; 1t is not
to be an academic uplift, but an actual
improvement.
| Already the governor has begun his
general mission of betterment by hav-
ing good roads built and Maryland
needed good roads. This he believes
is one of the first things necessary in
the whole system of advancement, fol-
it will strike heavy blow to the ole
order and serve to break the farmers
make them eager for further improve
ment. The gospel of good roads
needs no further defense In thii
country.
| Undoubtedly II this work is faith
fully carried out it will result in a vas
J enrichment of the Maryland farmer,
: and general enlargement in tn,
} states wealth, for 1t begins at tn,
source of that wealth. Farm afte
farm in that old state is said to b,
shamefully neglected because tn,
owner or occupant believes it n,
longer capable of producing goo,
|. crops. !, If this principle of soil cultur
and intensified farming is properly ap
piled and works out as 1t has in othe
states, then these idle or half-tille,
3 farms will be brought back into com
e mission and made to do what they ar
actually capable Of doing, which viii
mean vast new wealth for Marylan
: and individual prosperity to its farm
e ers and merchants.

Making a Soft Place to Alight.

Another announcement from Mr..
Bryan may be expected shortly in
which two events that have transpired
while he was out OF the country may
be expected to cut a figure.
The first Of these is the final proc
lamation by Governor Shallenberger
declining to accede to Mr.. Bryan's de-
mand that he reconvene the legislature
In special session to submit an initia-
tive and referendum amendment to the
state constitution.
The second is the unexpected pro-
nouncement of Richard l.. Metcalfe, as
sociate editor of the Commoner, at the
Columbus banquet against inserting a
county option plank advocated by Mr..
Bryan into the democratic state plat
form.
The question that is being asked on
all sides is, Was Mr.. Metcalfe acting
by himself or did he have a bunch by
wireless from the distinguished pas
senger on a transatlantic steamer.
The Metcalfe proposal to relegate
county option as a local issue to the
respective legislative districts, where
it properly belongs, has sound and con-
elusive argument behind it. But Mr..
Bryan had gone on record uncondi-
tionally for a county option pledge in
the event that the governor should fail
to call the legislature according to the
Bryan plans and specifications and 1t
would look, therefore, as if Associate
Editor Metcalfe were trying to fix up
soft place for Editor Bryan's airship
to alight.
Let us simply recall a few sentences
from the speech which Mr.. Bryan made
Just before he started for Europe in
the hall which he hired for that pur-
pose in Omaha.
Here is one:
When 1 returned from the state after an
absence OF some months 1 announced that
in case the initiative and the referendum
was not submitted II would be necessary
then to meet county option as an issue, anC
that 1 was In favor of a platform declar
ing in favor Of it.
| Here is another:
| II the liquor question must be disposed OF
before we can secure the initiative and
referendum, then the sooner we dispose o.
It the better.
Here Is still another:
1 will not admit until we are voted dowr
In the convention or at the primary that
majority of the democrats are willing Il
take orders from the liquor dealers.
And finally:
I still hope that we may have q specia
session Of the legislature and secure thu
submission of the initiative and referen
dunn, but If that is made impossible by thu
sordld interests that have thrown them
selves across the path of this popular meas
ure, then our first business is to remov,
the obstruction, and with the next demo
cratic convention as the forum we shall
invite the champions of the brewers and tn
distillers and the liquor dealers, to SHOW
cause why they shall not be driven from
politics in the state of Nebraska.
Evidently, as We have said, either Mr.
Metcalfe is smoothing a path for Mr.
Bryan to back down and fixing a sof
place for him to alight, or Mr.. Bryan
will soon give orders for Mr.. Metcalf
to back up, and will want to know
what influences have been at worl
in the Commoner office during hi
absence.

nearly every man, whether he has ever
given any time to the study of the
question or not, has his own deep-set
conviction on the subject and does not

Of their conflicting interests, but a
tariff built upon scientific lines would,
it is believed, give the least cause for
dissatisfaction.
If the tariff board in its mission of

should be the means of accomplishing
great good and clarifying the whole

not to be allowed to overshadow the plain
justice of the case Whether the young

apropos of such cases in general, 1t Is to
be noted that their families come forward
in their defense with Instances of their
