Origin of nn Ancient Song.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Probably no song ever was composed
under queerer circumstances than "Ach,
du lieber Augustine ooh. You dear Au-
gustine"C. the 25Oth anniversary OF whose
authors birth is now being celebrated
throughout Austria That author. Au-
gustine Mar. frequently got exceedingly
drunk. One night when under the infiu-
ence" he managed to fall into rubbish
PIT. which he found too deep to climb
out of without help His cries for as
sistance were unhseded. and as he
fioundered about the idea came to him
that he might attract the attention OF
some passer-by by means of a new song.
Then and there. accordingly, he COM
posed the simple words and air OF 'Ach.
du lieber Augustine" and proceeded to
sing II in a lusty voice. with the result,
so the story goes, that he was heard.
located, and speedily rescued. The tale
spread abroad. and few days later all
Vienna was singing song that has re-
mained popular for 80 yearA

Palaces of the Old World

master Of the ceremonies, Hon. Sir Ar
thur Walsh, IL himself on duty within
the throne room, since II IL he who an
nounces the name and style of the vari-
Gus ladies as they pass before the royal
presence. Once this duty is over. the
ladies and their male escorts, who have
assembled outside the charmed room. are
free either to pass to the lower end OF
the apartment to witness the subsequent
presentations or to make their way to
where the Kings private band is play
ing. or, as soon as the great doors are
thrown open, into the supper room.
The work Of preparing for a state ball.
Of which at least one takes place at
Buckingham Palace each year. often two
or three, il carried out even with much
more care. because the number Of guests
il 30 much larger. When the dancing
is at its height, there may be something
like $500 persons in the great ballroom
or In the adjoining apartments, each Of
whom has to be provided-adequately with
supper, as well as other light refresh
ments. during the night.
Very stringent investigations are con-
tinuously under way on the quiet that
no undesirable person Is admitted or al
lowed to remain. Last year the expert
ment was given a trial to divide the
guests into different classes for supper.
This has proved SO successful that It may
be adhered to in the future. Thus the
military and naval officers and their
ladies' present had supper served in one
room. the diplomatic and Official circle
I'm another. and SO forth, while there
was a bachelors smoking room. where
more solid fare was provided, that as
a matter Of fact proved highly popular.
This last idea originated with King
George personally.
Upon the occasion OF state ball or
a state dinner party. the historic gold
plate is brought up from Windsor Castle
and is displayed on the great buffet
that extends almost the whole of one
side Of the principal supper room. The
royal party and those privileged TO take
supper with them are served exclusively
upin this. This plate always travels by
road from Windsor to Buckingham Pal
ace, being conveyed to plain vans that
give no outward sign of the vast treas
ure they contain. They are all made OF
highly tempered steel. however. and
locked in such a manner that II would
be impossible for any one to open them
without being in the secret. They are
kept, too, under the constant super
vision of some of the cleverest detectives
at Scotland Yard AS soon as the func-
ton is at an end. the various items or
the gold plate are carefully checked and
escorted to their vans ready for return
to Windsor on the following morning.
II there are foreign princes or roy
alties IN London. or ditinguished official
visitors from other powers, royal horses
and carriages from the royal news are
sent to bring them to the palace and
take them home again. At least. one
or two of the court physicians always
have to be in attendance at courts or
balls or other official functions in case

pened more than once. suddenly be-

Mr.. Taft's Speech.

The salient points in the speech of
acceptance of his denomination, made
by President Taft, undoubtedly are his
acknowledgment that the most serious
crisis in the life of the Republican
party-he might, with the same pro-
priety, have said, ''in the history of our
country"-is at hand, and the declara-
tion that the poor are denied an equal
chance by the present defects in our
laws.
We fully subscribe 10 the latter state
ment, but have found nothing so far
in the record OF the present administra-
ton to show that the President has
taken any serious steps to ameliorate
these conditions-those defects in the
present form of our government" as
Mr. Taft himself calls them.
We also fully and unequivocally in
dorse Mr.. Taft's statement that the
plan for the maintenance of the navy in
proportion to the growth of other
navies of the world calls for the con-
strrction of two new battleships each
year There is no use in shirking the
issue Sane administrators look mat
ters-no matter if or how disagreeable
they may be-square in the face. Con
sidering what the other great powers
are doing continually in the way of prep
arations, we must do the same if we
really mean to avoid or to prevent war
And We do; there is no doubt as to
that!
Mr.. Taft's stab at ''the two gentle
men who now lead. one the Democrats,
and the other the former Republicans"
that they are unconsciously embracing
socialism is too good to go by unno-
ticed. 1t is the best in the line of sar-
casm that he has uttered as yet. Per-
haps he has adopted the best of all po-
litical campaign nlaXims: Make your
rivals ridiculous and half the battle is
won"
The President has made his record
as clean, well-meaning administra-
tor, who stands for the rule of the law,
rather than the rule of men, He has
been renominated because he stands
for certain fixed principles which have
been advocated, urged, and partly ac-
complished by the Republican party He
understands and respects the limita-
tions of the Constitution for the guild
ance and self-restrain in governmental
and official power, which are absolutely
essential to the preservation of liberty
and of justice.
Nor can it be denied that Mr.. Taft
IS for safe and sane progress, not the
kind of so-called progress that rushes
headlong into trying all sorts of
schemes urged by nalcontents with
personal grievance or ambitions of their
own-with an AK to grind The Presi-
dent means to hold fast to those essen
tial elements which have made the
country prosperous, but with considera-
ton of adverse opinions, as distin-
guished from intolerance and violence
That Mr.. Taft means to uphold the
authority and dignity of the courts
without which, his judicially trained
judgment tells him, no nation can pros
per-is one of his strongest cards in the
coming fight Therefore, when all is
said, the Republicans could have made
no better choice than to trust the des-
tiny Of their party to the hands who for
four years have so successfully navigated
our ship of state.

4 Declaration of Interdependepc.

From the Manufacturer Record
When. in the course of human events,
1t becomes necessary for the South to
strengthen the bonds which connect it
with other parts of the country, a decent
respect to the opinions OF mankind re-
quires that 1t should declare again why
the development of the South means the
enrichment of the nation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident
that a section blessed with the natural
resources for industry and trade must
be the main reliance for the healthy life
of other sections lacking such resources
and that in the union centering in that
section of the capital of mind. muscle,
money. and material resources of the
country is the hope of national advance
ment. To prove the strength of the
South for such a union let facts be SUBJ
mitted to a candid world.
The South has 4Oo.O00.000 acres of land
suitable for farming, OF which less than
2o0. 100000 are now cultivated.
The South has 500,000, 900 900 tons Of coal
to be mined more than 10.Oo0. coo 900 tons
Of iron ore, and unmea assured quantities OF
petroleum, natural gas. sulphur. lead,
zinc and other minerals.
The South has 900 acres of timber
land.
The South has 1900 miles of navigable
streams and a coast line of 5000 miles on
ocean and gulf marked off by more than
thirty ports handling more than 10000
900 of foreign commerce annually. The
South has 5000 miles of railways.
The South's population of 33,ooO.oo0 is
producing annually in agriculture. min
ing, manufacturing. and fisheries to the
value of nearly $500 100000. 1t Is equip
ped In natural resources for a production
three, times as great as that, and with
more to follow.
For the union OF all sections In a shar-
ing of the mutual advantages to be de-
rived from interdependence in Southern
development the Manufacturers Record
renews its pledge OF thirty years ago by
which it has abided in season and out Of
season.
