A French Man Hunt,

After reading the vivid description
of the spectacular capture OF the
bandits in the suburbs OF Paris, the
conclusion is forced that the recent
experience with retaking the three es-
capped conyicts, who had murdered
their way through the walls Of the
Nebraska state prison, was by COM
parison a tame affair. The French
sleuths evidently do. things differ
emily, although with similar results
AZ far as the outlaws are concerned.
II is self-eyident now that those who
pursued and brought down our con-
Wet desperadoes did not give suffi-
Gent time to assemble the thousands
OF spectators who would have gladly
assembled as they we're attracted
over In Paris. Neither did they sum-
mon the clnematograph operators on
the ground to embalm the scenes OF
action In Photographic films that
will delight picture show audiences
later. Worse still, they did not give
the engineering corps. nor the dyna-
mite crew, half a chance to display
their skill and cunning. II plainly
takes French project OF police. with
reinforcements OF gendarmes, TO do
the man-hunt job in a modern up-to-
date fashion.

Real American Opera.

The Boston Metropolitan Opera

opera is beginning to mean something
to us. Just as 1t has meant much to
our European friends.
The last season was a good one
for grand opera. In various cities

demand to make grand opera popular.

art value, but TO lower II only In

course, II IL Is evrr to take a really
self-sustaining hold on us this is what
must be done. Grand opera Is not so
delicate thing that It thrives only
on partial patronage. Plethoric box
office receipts in no wise adversely
affect the music or the artists.
Americans have some composers of
their own whose operas are no longer
to be coddled as the best that willing
amateurs can do; they are taking
purely upon their merits, and have
standing of their own. These COM
posers and their productions, there
fore, are no longer to be held back
simply because they belong here
rather than abroad.

Laws on Woman and Child labor.

Most states are dealing by law
with the problem OF child and woman
labor. seeking TO improve conditions
under which they have to work. The
volume of statutes enacted Is a huge
one, but the diversity OF their provi-
sions is also great. The chief need
now seems to be greater uniform
ity In these laws throughout the
country. Until that is achieved, the
reform must be regarded as more or
less In an experimental stage and far
short Of Its highest possible good.
Nebraska has had a share in this
kind Of legislation and win doubt
less be found ready when the time
comes for cooperating toward unit
formity. as has been done to some ex-
tent in Insurance legislation. The
difficulty Of enforcement should be
materially reduced by a tendency to-
ward uniformity, which also should
conduce toward better general I'M
derstanding OF the laws among the
workers. Where one state provides
for certain regulations their sffec-
tiyeness Is encouraged II adjoining
or adjacent states adopt the same or
similar provisions.
Then, of course, the sooner that
all parties come up to the same
practical level OF advance in this par
ticular, the sooner will fair protec-
ton be accorded to the women and
children who have to toll for their
livelihood, especially in the factories
and mills. where the need for the
protection is great. Perhaps before
long q general codifying OF these
laws will be in order to furnish a
guide for the task OF uniformity,
which will be a task, indeed.

Not Attacking Taft's Work.

President Taft's administration
has a fine tribute in the fact that his
opponents are waging their cam
paign. not upon his works, but en-
tirely upon personal grounds. Prac-
tically nothing is being said by his
critics about what he has done as
president, that is to the extent Of
daring to take up the achievements
of his administration and analyzing
them for the purpose OF attacking
him.
The president went into office
upon a platform Of distinct pledges.
AS far as has been possible, he has
redeemed those pledges. He was not
elected to office upon any promise
to promote the new theories OF gov
eminent which others are preaching
today, but among the things his
party pledged through him and
which have been brought to frultion
are to be counted more far-reaching
measures of social and economical
reform than have been enacted in
any other similar period of our his
tory.
When the republicans come to
enunclate their platforms for the
next campaign. they can, without stul-
tification, point with pride to the
record Of the Taft administration.
Even In Illinois, where the state con-
vention was completely in the hands
OF the Roosevelt following. and an
instructed Roosevelt delegation was
chosen to represent the state in the
convention, the platform
had nothing but commentator for
the president, although Withholding
from him the endorsement for re-S
election which ordinarily would have
such approval. No re-
publican would erase what has been
added to the record of the party by
the president in the form of sub
stantial accomplishments In the last
three years.
