TARIFF REVISION BILLS VILE PASS.

0Ta HAT the Underwood bill for the revision of the iron and steel
schedule of the tariff will be passed by Congress and sent
to the President is now a moral certainty. The twenty-five
Progressive Republicans in the House will support the bill. as we'll
also, as the other tariff bills to be introduced, and the Republican
Progressiyes in the Senate are sure to take the same action. 1t is
predicted that Mr.. Taft will repeat his performance of last year
and veto the revision bills sent to him, which would POSTPONE all
tariff revision for at least another year. Surrounded by the same
groups of men who have directed his course since his inauguration
who inspired his signature to the Payne-Aldrieh tariff and coun,
seled his vetoes last year, Mr.. Taft unfortunately is blind to con.
sequences to his party, to the country and to his own candidacy.

NO IMPERIAL BIRTHDAY O soLlNdEN.

1E ODAY is the anniversary of the birth of Emperor William of
Germany, IN event always celebrated. But in Solingen.
Prussia, the Socialist local authorities decided to paw no
attention to it officially, giving as a reason that the town was
Socialistic politically and therefore a celebration would be incon-
sistent. This reasoning smacks of stupidity if not of want of
patriotism. The emperor symbolizes the nation. He is its repre-
sentative and head, as the President is of the American nation. A
man in this country does not compromise hi political opinions
when he does honor to the chief executive of the nation. He NAV
be in bitter opposition to the President politically and yet pay to
him every respect personally and officially. The German people.
bred in the monarchical traditions, have always maintained a
jealous respect for the monarch and held him above the conten-
tions of political parties. His dignity has been inviolate. The act
Of the Solingen authorities, therefore, is as offensive as it is un-
patriotic.

AFTER.DINNER STORIES.

"A neighbor of mine,' said Tom
Dunn, used to bore everybody in the
train during the recent summer by be-,
moaning the yagaries of his lawn
mower. He had about ten square feet
of lawn that he used to shave every
day. His lawn-mower, however, seemed
possessed of a mischievous demon Of
some sort. 1t would alternately fail to
cut the grass at all and dig great fur-
rows in the soft turf. He tried to sell
1t, but 40 one would take it as a gift.
At last, one morning he showed me an
advertisement in a paper offering for
sale at a ridiculously low rate a peer
less lawn-mower that was warranted to
cut grass as evenly and as regular as a
patent razor. The owners address
would be furnished at the office of the
newspaper.
Tn going to get that peerless
lawn-mower this vel Cay chortled my

surprise, its possessor seemed. trying
to avoid me.

/ asked.

answered, shortly.

for charging any one Of the great demo-
Gratis now aspiring for the presidency
with being a traitor to his party, and IN

All OF which is doubtless good adj
vice for democrats. but equally good
advice for republicans. Because a
distinguished republican may be
charged with being a servant and
tool Of the interests, does not make
it so. and republicans can no more
safely use up on one another ammu-

Gratis. After the republican standard

The Strong Man Of China.

At the outset OF the Chinese revo-
luton Premier Yuan Shi. Kai was
named the strong man Of China, upon
whom would fall finally the burden
of the crisis. Yuan Shi Kai has vim
dicated the prediction. He looms
today the largest figure on the trou-
bled horizon. Through the long, de-
vious, tedious labyrinth of Chinese
diplomacy leading up to the crucial
transition. he has come with superb
distinction, with one hand depressing
the aggression OF the reyolutionists,
the other steadying the tottering dy-
nasty, which he seems finally to have
persuaded to abdicate. Abdication
was undoubtedly inevitable. for this
is evolution as well as revolution, but
abdication thus accomplished is bet
ter than under circumstances which
might have obtained without Yuan
shi Kai to guide the destinies OF
state.
Few diplomats have been called on
to perform a more difficult task than
the one that fell to this Chinese
statesman. A hundred opportunities

The Nebraska Semi.Centennial.

Agitation has already been started
down at Lincoln for some suitable
celebration of the semi-eentenniAl OF
Sebraska's statehood. which will
occur March /. 1917. One suggestion
is for an exposition TO illustrate the
progress Of the commonwealth. An
other is for the formal dedication Of
some grand edifice to be erected at
the capital as a central building for
the state fair. or the State university,
or a historical museum. or the laying
OF the cornerstone for new capitol.
SIN another is for an ocular demon
stration through great historical
pageant.
These suggestions may be worth
considering, and there will doubtless
be plans galore by the time We get
closer to the time for the celebration.
For the present the whole subject
must remain in the talk-about-it
stage, and It will take some time TO
crystalline public opinion for any
plan. The only remark which seems
to US not to be premature is that the
celebration OF Nebraskas semi-cen-
tennial cannot be made exclusively
STATE capital affair. and that the
commemorative exercises Will take
place at the proper time in every city.
town, village and school house in
Nebraska.
