From the Chicago Record-Herad.
 My impression of Chicago is one of great, luxurious long -drawn-out dinners" said President Taft just before starting for his train. He spoke appreciatively, of course. and with no trace of i'll effect from the lavish hospitality that he re- ceived everywhere on the longest trip ever made by President. Not dinners, nor luncheons, nor breakfasts had dis turbed him, physically or mentally It Is evident that the Taft smile is closely re- lated to his admirable digestion. Fortu- nate President!
 Not many statesmen have perfect di- gestion few Americans are proof against rich repasts. The Taft equanimity com binGd with a capacity for hard work or long jaunting is rare. History Is full of illustrations of the sad effects of indges- tion A sound stomach is the envy of ali inc weak-stomached, in whomsoever it occrrs in President it means national safeguard and benefit. We congratulate President Taft on his stomach and are glad that not even Chicago's generous feeding could impair it.

spring are as follow

Even if this number is not swelled this winter by legislative action or by state executive committees, one sixth of the delegates to the demo- cratic national convention will be elected and instructed next spring. The first primary will be held in March and the rest will speedily fol- low. The country is, in fact, nearer direct action in the choice of presi- dential candidates than many con- sider 1t. When one-tixth of the dem- ocratic delegates are to be chosen and instructed in primaries one can readily see what 1916 will bring. It will usher in national system of primaries and the abolition of the convention system. The change has come step by step, without friction 'and without heat, and this is why many people are not aware of the nearness of this great change in political methods.

Over-Zealous PatrOimen

Fifty arrests a day are made in this city, when 10 a day suffices in many progressive towns of similar population. Last month 131 were ar- rested for fighting, 225 because of ldisorlerly conduct, PIT charged with being full of strong liquor, 136 gam blers, 51 loiterers, 68 blind tigers and 59 vagrants. These classes of al-
 sged criminals furnished 947 arrests
 lat of total of 1464, or a good deal sver one-half. Out of the 947 per &haps AT should have been arrested, ;spd the remaining 900 should have been handled persuasively and sent about their business.
 It seems to be difficult to induce policemen in this city to overcome the Atlanta habit, and yet this is what must be done if arrests are tc be drought down in this city to req sonable figures. Chief Bodeker is op- posed to unnecessary arrests, but ht seems to be unable to convince lpatroln1en that the fewer arrests they make in preserving order the better. They still think their record. depes,d upon the making of numerou, 2rrosts-

A poEr or AFFIRMATION

From Current Literature for Novemper' The literature of the old world is so eicklied OCT with the pale cast of pes-
 simism that it is a relief to welcome in Rudolf Herzog, the latest "exchange roet' from Germany, featuring in the
 United States as the guest of the Ger manic society, Dionysian spirit when
 boldly affirms the joy of living. "Llfe'
 he says somewhere, 'is far too brief to be wasted in sorrow; we must attempt 10 make it as bright as possible, to III # with light and sunshine. Why should we lose ourselves in contemplating what is sombre and gray and evil when all about us there is so much that is gay; when we may listen to laughter and only have to open our eyes to see beauty and light? I wish that any melancholy per son who reads my books, when he sees how my characters act, should say to himself: These indeed are men who know how to live and who point out new way for me- l want every neuras- ihenic to feel that, after all, life is worth. living.' Rudolf Herzog,- as French critic quoted in the Rundschau Zweier Welten, our German edition, has said of him, is a pagan in Christian guise, an optimist who, after the gloom of the north that Ibsen and Tolstoy have brought into the world, gives us back our courage. The German reading public, we learn, has hailed Rudolf Herzog and his cheerful message. He is the most pop ular novilist in three German speaking countries-the German empire, Austria and Switzerland. His books in prose and verse pass through as many as 40 to 70 editions, and his plays, notably Die Condottieri," have placed him in the front rank of German playwrights. The Raiser, who personally attended the first performance of the last named play, is said to regard Rudolf Herzog as intel lectually the legitimate offspring of Schi- Ter. Rudolf Herzog is a type distinctly Germanic. There is something of the Norseman of old in his blood, and his heart responds to deeds of deering-do, even at times if they are contrary to our modern ethical instincts. He himself in- habits castle on the legend haunted Tore or the Rhine, where the old robber harons were wont to preach the gospel Of might and pleasure. He is surround cd by oaks and pine trees. The valley through which Roland rode lies at his feet. There, surrounded by his children, dressed in garbs suggestive of medieval pages, and by his wife, who before her marriage was a distinguished singer, he works in touch at once with the middle ages and the twentieth century.

l concluded that my only hope lay in Manhattan. But the laugh haunts the best theatre there. It isn't a musical laugh; it is loud and strident, and even when q bowling farce makes it permis- sible it. jars and initiates. What then can be said of it when it leaps out un- expectededly at speeches never intended for nrth, speeches of sarcasm designed for conveying grave truths; speeches DOT dering that delicate line between the deep truths of life and the lighter vein? l have heard words of a play that might have cast light and hope on some soclai evil become almost brutal when they aroused the New York guffaw.
 Not long ago at matinee I was de- lighted at question put during an act by a harassed old lady to party or young girls who were making the theatre if not the wekin ring with their unfe- strained mirth. In the midst of a burst of merriment the sharp question struck like a sledge hammer: What on earth are you laughing at?'
 . Somehow this had the desired ef- feet. An occasional snicker was heard after that, but the rest of us were per- initted to hear what the actors were say ing.
 r e wish New York theatregoers would ask themselves now and then what they are laughing at And when, perhaps, their keener sense of humor drives them to expression, could they not control It. soften it and curtail it in order that we duller, slower folk may have the oppor- tunity of avaiing ourselves of the au- thor's genius?'

THE SOUTH IN POLITICS

From the Chicago Tribune CRepublican,
 When consideration is given to the pos sibility that the democratic party may present southerner on it's next national ticket the disposition is to overemphs size that phase of the question which has to do with the civil war and sectional bit- Icrness.
 The day when it would be certainly fatal to offer the north candidate from the south has passed. It might not he wise even now, but such a candidacy would not be foredoomed by prejudice rancor, or sectional hostility. The war is lover" to that extent.
 In just what manner the north would receive Q southern candidate remains an interesting problem for democratic leaders 70 consider, but 1t is one they can take up without being halted immediately bv tho obvious unavailability of the south erner. What they have to deal with more seriously is the economic phase of the question.
 Has the new south with it's increasing industries developed industrially and commercially to. such an extent tha. northern bushes will accept southern CT? So long as the economic differences of the north and south set them off as two extremes it was useless to expect the industrial and commercial interests of tho one to place any confidence in a candidate offered by the other
 The development of the new south is changing this and it is the change, aside from the passing away of sectional bitter ness, which gives substance to the candi- racy of Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama, the leader of his party in the House of Representatives and a representative of the industrial south.
 Most observers hold to the opinion that tho democratic party will not risk the ex- tia hazard, however slight, of giving either first or second place on its nation al ticket to southern candidate, but the time is past or is passing rapidly when the ambitions of a man from Alabama are but ghosts of ambitions merely be- ] cause he is from Alabama.

Now and Two years Hence


 "Although oscar Underwood, as chair man of the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives and democratic leader in Congress, is a na- tionai celebrity, and would attract great attention anywhere away from home, he is the same quiet, unpretentious gen. tleman here that he was before his party leadership and his prominence as pres dential propositon,' said a citizen last night.

the lawlessness of Lewisburg, situ- ated at the outskirts of Birmingham. in two years IT assassinations-mur ders-haye been committed in that hamlet, and no one has been con- victed. A reign of terror in that mining camp operates to prevent con yictions and even serious attempts in that direction. All who have been arrested have been turned loose, simply because evidence cannot be procured that iustifies their deten- ton.
 And yet six white men and II ne- groes have been assassinated almost within sight of this city. No wonder the grand jury calls upon the state authorities for assistance. It urges Governor O'Neal to offer reward for the apprehension of the assas- sins commensurate with conditions existing Veritable 'sblack hand tactics are resorted to in order to intimidate all who attempt to make investigations or arrests. The situa- ton at Lewisburg surely calls for action on the part alike of county and state officers. The reign of terror in that locality must be ended and the rule of law and order restored and fully re-established.
