In the diversion Of other things
The Bee has almost overlooked the
reply-brief of the Blair Pilot man to
our remarks In answer TO his ques-
ton, Why should Nebraska repub-
licans line up with Rhode Island re-
publicans for Taft II they are pro-
gressive and we are standpatters 20
The Bee had suggested as the answer
that Nebraska republicans and Rhode
Island republicans, and republicans
In all other states, would have to get
together behind their candidate next
year IL he is to win out against the
democratic nominee, but our Blair
friend won't have II that way.
We concede to every republican,
and to every democrat for that mat
ter, a perfect right to have q pre-
ferred choice for president and to
exert himself in that behalf, but
eventually It will come down to bed
rock OF electing the ticket, and no
republican standard-bearer, no mat
ter what his identity, can safely ex-
pect the democrats to furnish the
votes. II the Blair Pilot man, who
has already bolted part OF the state
ticket, and is opposing the congress
sional nominee in his district, and
also expressing objections to Mr..
Taft, speaks for himself, he will be
whooping II up for the democratic
ticket next year unless he has his
way about II. That is the inference
forced by the windup Of his article.
which reads as follows:
To our mind the next president will be
progressive. The only question IL, will
he be a republican or a democrat9 Which
does the editor OF The Bee, and the re-
publican national committeeman for Me-
braska, prefer?
II happens that one answer will
suffice for that dual question. We
prefer that the next president be a
republican, and that he be Just as
progressive and broad-gauged as the
present republican president.

Bay State Republioans

The republicans OF Massachusetts,
have made national issues a part Of
their state campaign. giving large
place to them In powerful platform
adopted at their state convention
This platform at least has the mOrlt
OF going straight to the point of dis
oussion and leaving no room for
doubt as TO where the republicans OF
that state stand.
The Bay state republicans stand
with President Taft for scientific re-
vision OF the tariff and for having the
courage TO veto the haphazard tariff
bills contriyed by the democrats for
purely political purposes. Here is one
excerpt from the platform which can
not be too much emphasized:
We accuse the democratic party in con-
gress. and their allies, OF narrow ana
blind sectionallsm. We accuse them OF
flagrant disregard Of the business and
Industrial interests OF the country. We
accuse them OF playing politics when they
sat in the seats OF statesmen.
The Massachusetts, republicans are
right in declaring that disaster would
have ensued had President Taft not
possessed the wisdom and courage to
veto these pernioious measures and
they are right in calling upon all
'sober-minded citizens" regardless
Of politics, TO stand by an executive
with backbone and conscience.
The Bay state republicans are with
the president again in declaring for
"a downward revision OF tariff sehed-
ules that have become either outworn
or oppressive instead OF protective"
But, as is pointed out. Il has never
been and is not now republican doc
trine TO abandon entirely the protee-
tive policy or 70 readjust schedules
In disregard OF business facts. The
republican party has left that for the
other side to do. II has believed with
Washington that ''The safety and in
terest Of the people require that they
should promote such manufactures as
tend TO render them independent OF
others" And this policy OF the re-
publieans has become by their an

The Majesty Of Nature

The havoc wrought by such dis
asters as occurred recently at Austin,
Pa, and more recently in Wisconsin,
where large parts of towns were de-
molished by high water, can but ex-
cite pity and sympathy for the suf-
ferers and appall thoughtful men.
But that is not all that rejecting peo-
pie SEQ In such devastation. That is
but the surface result Do the people
not see that nature now and then
seems to make an exhibition OF les
power and its might? The scenes are
too ominous to say majesty and yet
that Is what II is--the majesty of
nature.
Do men grow indifferent to the
hidden secrets, TO the latent power of
the natural elements1 These p0riodi-
cal demonstrations seem to suggest
that they do and that It devolves
upon nature to make a showing OF
its might that. at least, It may be
appreciated.
Men speak Of harnessing nature
and driving II for mans purposes.
They build apparently formidable
dams on rivers and they have har-
messed them. Now they can use the
water for power and control It appar-
emily at will. They build homes UP
and down the river near the dam and
rear their families there and dwell
in complacent security. free, they say
from harm. But one day nature
undertakes to show them, not how
badly men have built, but how sadly
they have misguessed nature and
what little pismies we all are beside
that power We imagined we had har-
messed and were riding. OF course.
after each such catastrophe we see
whore and how II might have been
avoided. but even this We have TO
learn from experience with natures
elements.

statement from the pen of Bixby, re-

ment we once heard made regarding the
late General MAnderson. Bixby says:
1t is the judgment of competent observ-
ers that President Taft is a dlgnified,

The death OF Brigadier General Charles

Ing the last part OF his service there,
calls attention to the disappearance of
the union soldier from the senate
Twenty years ago there were at least
twenty generals in that body. AT the
present time there are no senators who
ever were union or confederate generals
The highest officer In the service was
Henry Algernon du Pont OF Delaware
who was a brevet lieutenant colonel in
the union army. All the others were
privAtes. There are four who served In
the confederate army; not including TIL
man Of South Carolina. who was refused
because OF his eyesiEht, and there are
four who served in the union army. in
cluding Bradley OF Kentucky. who ran off
twice to war. and was in the ranks but
short time, being reclaimed by his
father before he really saw any service.
The full list OF ex-Civil war soldiers In
the senate is as follows:
Alabama-John Hollis Bankhead, Joseph
Forney Johnston. both confederate
soldiers.
Oelaware-Henry Algernon du Pont, in
union army, breyet lieutenant colonel

Louisiana-John Randolph NThornton,

vate In the union army.
