Two years past seventy and at the time he

He was the first rector and practically the
founder Of the Catholic university at wash

nigh educational distinction. His retire
ment from that responsibility by the com

sensations made by one of the reactionarv
cardinals in the hierarchical family, hut
when he went to Rome and his views ana

instead OF being disciplined he was ad-

MR. rAfr AVN THE PARALLELS.


ST. Louis Republic: The capacity as
representatives Of an the farmers Of the
country, IN which the officers uf certain
farmers organization denounced reel
procity to President Taft was Of course
only a seif-sssumed capacity. That fact.
however, does not detraCt from the couras-
eous and statesmanlike quality of Mr..
Tafts reply
Springfield Republican: No doubt the
personally conducted farmers will enjoy
themselves in Washington; possibly they
will send for their automobiles and go home
in these. At any rate they know now that
not even the believing Of that sacred
COW the interests OF the American far
mer' can fTighten Mr., Taft from doing
what he thinks best for the whole country.
New York World; Farmer Hill scarcely
gained anything for his cause when he
surprised Mr. Taft during social call b.
making a set speech against reciprocity.
The unstudied response Of the president,
confident in the justice of his policy and
carslebs of its bearing upon his political
prospects, Will not be displessing to a
country that likes manly men in or out of
office.
New York Post: To tell a vote" far
mer or labor to its face that it can go
where 1t pleases, requires a degree of
courage in a public man which we do not
often witness. In President Taft this sort
OF plain speaking is not uncommon. 1t
seems to so with his judicial habit He
turns away political threateners just as he
would make an irrelevant witness in court

The insurgent republicans have tenn
porarily blocked the selection OF a
president OF the senate by refusing 70
accept Senator Gallinger, the caucus
nominee for that position. The situa-
ton as it Is disclosed presents a clearly
threefold division in the senate in
stead of a twofold one, with a small
group of insurgent republicans acting
independently and voting for Senator
Clspp, and the democrats voting sol
idly for Senator Bacon as agreed upon
by their caucus
SO far as the organization OF the
senate or the transaction of public
business Is concerned this deadlock
holds no serious threat. There would
be no necessity OF electing a president
of the senate at this time we're it not
that Senator Frye, who has been bear
ing that honorable title, has resigned
owing to i'll health. but presumably
will continue to serve at least nom
inally. until a successor is chosen. In
the meanwhile Vice President Sher-
mans health appears to be reasonably
robust and he can call to the chair
any senator as he pleases whenever he
wants to yield the gavel for a tempo
rary absence. The line OF succession
to the presidency would never reach
the president of the senate, so there
is comparatively little at stake in the
contest
What the deadlock does do, how
ever, is to emphasize and accentuate
the cleavage between the insurgent re-
publicans and the regular republicans.
Prior to the assemblage of congress
in extra session there was much talk
about getting together" but eighteen
republicans refused to vote in the
house for the caucus nominee for
speaker, and now the similar dissen-
sion in the senate would indicate that,
if not getting farther apart, the fac
tions are at least getting no closer to
one another. Unless a new alignment
is produced the insurgent republicans
holding themselves aloof from the
party caucus will be able to deadlock
the senate whenever there 10 a divi-
sion on party lines.

Reducing Fire Loss.

The last big fire In New York City,
which destroyed 100000 worth OF

been determined. by lighted cigarettes
carelessly thrown aside By smokers.
Doubtless many such fires have come
from similar causes. II the smoker
had gone in stealth and applied q
torch to these buildings and been
found out 1t would have been arson
and he would have been dealt with
accordingly. The law should be just
as keen in a case Of wiltul negligence
as in one of deliberate felony. What
difference does Il make 70 the vic

This is exactly what the city OF

The eclectics have now also reso-
luted against the medical department
of the State university. The sclectics
want it distinctly understood that they
are not against any particular location
of the medical school, but against the
principle OF using state money to
teach doctors to practice medicine in
any way different from the way eclec-
tics practice 1t. Evidently. the public
has been srossly misled as to the
progress which the science Of msdi-
