 Year Unusually Successful

COLONEL OF U. R. K. of P. Resignation of Col. Smith Makes Flee. ton of Successor Imperative.

Official word has just been received from the headquarters of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias at Meriden, of the acceptance of the resignation of Col Arthur B. Smith. This leaves a vacancy at the head of the regiment until orders are issued calling for an election of a new colonel. It further states that until such time as an cleo tion is called Lieut.. Col. I. E. Jacobs will assume command as acting col onel. In the columns of the Register Of Sunday, Sept. A, an article ap- peared that, to many, might have been misleading, as it stated that Lieut. Col. Jacobs had been appointed colonel to succeed Col. A B. Smith, which is incorrect. The office of colonel of the regiment is and has been an elective office and it will take the vote of the commissioned officers of the regiment to place colonel at the head, and not an appointment, as the article would imply.

voiOped into discriminating inteni-
Senator Hoke Smith in the List.

The most notable fact in the career
of Hoke Smith, the new senator from
Georgia, is that he resigned his place
as secretary of the interior under
President Cleveland in August, 1896,
in order to support William ]. Bryan
for the presidency. He defied the old
line democrats there and then and has
done so since whenever It seemed to
suit him. He is a forceful character
and, at 56, still young and vigorous
enough to claim a part in the struggle
within his party for political prefer
ment. It must be remembered that
he still stands high with Mr.. Bryan,
who, only a few months ago, spoke
favorably of him as one of the many
possible democratic presidential nom
inees. That he will now be added to
the already rather long list of entries
for that race may be accepted as set
tied.
Hoke Smith is one of the men who
have made Georgia politics as uncer-
tain as Tennessee's. He, and his polit-
zeal arch rival, Joseph Brown, have
been having a sort of four-year go-as-
you-please governorship race. Two
years ago Brown beat Smith for re-
election and = few months ago Smith
beat Brown for reelection. But last
November Governor Brown had the
privilege of naming former Governor
Terrell to serve out the unexpired
term of the late Senator Clay and it
seemed Smith was in total eclipse.
Now comes the state election and
Smith defeats Brown; then the legis-
lature meets and elects Smith to do
what Brown had appointed Terrell to
do, and, just as he is about to step
back into the state house for another
two years as governor, Smith is sent
to Washington to serve In the senate
until March 8, 1915. In the meantime
It would scarcely be Smith IL he did
not shy his castor still further into the
arena of national politics and try out
his luck for that big plum which the
democratic national convention will
shake down next spring, or summer.
Should Senator Smith enter the race
for the presidential nomination, with
Governor Harmon already in it, 1t
would make two former members of
the Cleveland cabinet in the contest.
Harmon, however, never disagreed
with Mr.. Cleveland over Organism, but
has always disagreed with Bryan.

Training the Child 70 Observe

There is more than mere fancy in
the old philosophy that when you have
a child taught to observe and then to
think you have 1t educated. One
thing is certain-if the child Is never
taught to observe he win never be
well educated. for he will never do
much independent thinking.
The power of observation dwells
within every child's mind, but, like
any other faculty. It has to be lied
out" to come to the literal definition
Of the old Latin's e-duce-to educate.
And that Is a matter that rests more
with parents than teachers at school.
In the home. on the street, In the field,
wherever the child and it's parent may
be, is the place to begin this eIemen-
tary education.
This would be a good thought for
parents who become impatient at in
quisitive children. Instead of telling
the child to hush up" or don't ask
so many questions" the parents
should encourage It to ask more ques-
tons and try 70 answer those Il asks.
Take hold OF fits power OF observation
and help the child to exercise It.
Teach him. first to observe. 70 notice
what he sees and then to think, to
ponder upon what he has observed. II
is a necessary tonic to the young
mind that you would like to see de-

Mountain Out Of a Mole Hill.

The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, writing about
the democrats investigation of the
Controller bay land case, says:
The Controller bay incident promises,
after the dust has cleared away, to 20 down
in history as an attempt to make a noun
tain out of a mole hill The vital question
involved is whether or not the president
and former Secretary Of the Interior Rich
ard A. Ballinger gave a monopoly Of exit
to the sea for a railroad connecting with
the rich coal mines OF southwestern
Alaska. No such monopoly has been
granted.
This correspondent, whose paper was
among the powers that from the first
opposed Ballinger and have at times
criticised the Taft administration Sc
verely, goes on to say that there is
nothing to the story that Charles p.
Taft interceded with his brother, the
president, in behalf of the Guggen-
helms and that the whole charge of
unfair dealing is based ON error. This
testimony surely cannot be regarded
as biased.
But what effect will this and other
equally relevant testimony have upon
those who are seeking to make polit-
ical capital out of this case at the
expense of the administration? One
thing is certain--if the democrats 20
very far. with their scheme it is likely
to react with serious results upon
them.
The president, after comforting
with his cabinet officers, has directed
that everything bearing on the Con-
troller bay case be turned over to the
investigators and that all possible as
distance be accorded them In any eff
fort they may make to get at facts,
for 1t is facts only the public wants.
1t looks as If the democrats had
driven their ducks to the wrong mar
ket this time.

No better evidence can be given as TO
the success OF the business side OF Presi-
dent Taft's administration than the an
nouncement that for the first year since
1907 the United states treasury has sur
plus. In the last fiscal year approximately
500 100000 was collected. including SOS GOO 600
from the corporation tax. The gross sur
plus ia said 10 be 900 and the net
surplus is about S3l. $1,000. The estimates
OF receipts and expenses were prepared so
carefully that the actual receipts from all
sources were only siO,OO0OO0 more than ex-
pected, while the actual expenditures were
seOOO.OOO less than expected
The closeness with which the estimates
were prepared shows clearly how we'll
President Taft has impressed upon his
subordlnates the necessity for estimating
accurately. The old method was for the
head Of a bureau to give guess and then
add few Millions while congress, know
ing the departmental method, gave another
guess and slashed off a few millions The
guess made on each side made an element
Of chance to the appropriations that may
have added to the interest of the proceed
ings, but certainly detracted from eff
cheney and economy.
With the presidents reform in effect at
the present time. the work OF congress in
the future will be simplified. Appropriation
committees can accept 1t as a fact that the
department chiefs have pared down their
estimates TO the very bone. Not only is
economy effected scientifically at the out

saved simultaneously.
The size OF the corporation tax receipts is

Newspaper men instinctively distrust
press bureaus and, among themselves, have
INDUCED In some comment over the press
bureau system which has been established
In several OF the departments-this wholly
aside from the merits OF the press bureau
product. The White House press bureau, IL
1t may be dignified by such a name, was
established In response to q legitimate de-
mand Of the correspondents for prompt and
early Information as to the routine transac-
tons Of the presidents office. While as
sistant secretary of the treasury, Mr.. Hilles
made his office noteworthy among the
news@gatherers by his courtesy and fore.
sight in preparing and issuing edrly In the
day bulletins stating concisely the concrete
news OF the hour. Often these were were
tips" starting with which the cores
pendent was enabled, after making a few
Inquiries OF one or more officials, to send
his paper an interesting or important
story. This method has been followed by
MIR. Hilles since he became secretary to the
president and has brought excellent results.
Mr.. Hilles Is assisted in the preparation OF
these bulletins and the giving out OF routine
news by Gus ]. Karger, correspondent of
the Cincinnati Times-Star, who is not only
a first-elass newspaper man, but Is exeep-
tionally popular In the press gallery and a
man OF unusual tact. But neither Mr..
Hilles nor Mr.. Karger has made the mis-
take Of using the press bureau to head OFF
the publication Of news by requiring that
no Information should be given out except
through the press agency and questions
are answered as freely as If no press SER
vice existed. In the days of Fred w. Car
penter, the correspondents got no news at
all at the White House except Of the most
wooden character. Secretary Norton talked
more freely, and Secretary IIilles has gone
him one better by Issuing typewritten
sheets. and thus saving the time OF him
self and everybody else.
