Interesting Parallel with Taft.

President Wilson's action in sign
ing the sundry civil appropriation bill
because the measure had been passed
by Congress recalls the approval of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill by President
Taft.
Mr. Taft did not agree with all Of
the details OF the proposed tariff law,
but he felt that it was the best legis-
lation which could be secured, and so
he accepted it. Subsequent events DEM
onstrated that he would have added
immensely to his popularity if he had
vetoed it. The measure went before
the people with the impression Gre
ated that it was framed TO give special
advantages TO favored interests and
nothing that Mr.. Taft could say or
do could remove this feeling. 1t was
asserted that he should have sent the
measure back to Congress and thus
placed the responsibility upon that
body.
Very much the same criticism is now
directed against President Wilson for
his approval of the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill This measure con-
tanned a provision that none of the
funds which it appropriated should be
used to prosecute labor or farmer or.
CARNATIONS for alleged violation of the
Sherman antitrust law. This legisla-
ton was political skculduggery of the
most apparent kind. 1t was class legis-
lation with a vengeance. President
Taft vetoed the bill when it was pre-
scented to him last session with the
same provision. Mr.. Wilson, however,
signed the bill while he made public a
statement in which he deprecated the
enactment. The sentiment very gen.
orally expressed in editorial comment
throughout the country is that the
President should not have signed the
bill if he thought that the legislation
was improper, but should have re-
turned it to Congress and placed upon
that body the responsibility of passing
it over his veto. Mr.. Wilson thus finds
himself paralleling the experience Of
Mr.. Taft. The country never accept
ed the latter's explanation for signing
the Payne-Aldrich bill and it may be
that Mr.. Wilson will regret that he did
not act in accordance with his convic-
tons and refuse to sign the bill.

MOSAIC LAWS SANITARY.
Peculiar Distinctions of Permitted
md Forbidden Foods indicated.

Peculiar Distinctions of Permitted
md Forbidden Foods indicated.
From Han,ers Weekly.
There have been gathered a collection
of facts to prove that the sanitary laws
of Moses were not only on a line with
the modern rules of hygiene. but in some
cases in advance of them.
The Jew. thousands OF years before
Christ. settling in a semi-trophical coun-
try, was forbidden to eat pork or she'll
fish, and milk was designated as a
source of contagion. In the Talmud a
method of Strengthening animals was pre-
scribed which is acknowledged today In
our markets as the most sanitary.
Five thousand years before Koch gave
to the world the results of his researches
in bacteriology the Mosaic law pointed
out the danger to man from tuberculosis
in cattle. but did not forbid infected
poultry as food. It was only a few years
ago that German specialists discovered
that fowl tuberculosis was harmless to
man.
The Mosaic law also enforced the iso-
lation OF patients with contagious dis
eases and the burial of the dead outside
all cities. These hints the Gentle world
did not fully accept until a century or
two ago.
The wise lawgiver prescribed not only
fasting at certain periods of the year,
but the removal Of whole families in
summer out to camps. where for time
they could live close to nature. Many
of the laws of Moses were prescriptions
intended for the health OF both mind
and body.

Public Sentiment Is Tickle.

President Wilson will soon learn, if
he does not appreciate the fact already.
that public sentiment is as tickle as the
wind.
Political idols in this country have
feet Of clay. They can be overturned
in a moment. The President who to-
day is apparently intrenched in public
popularity may tomorrow be the object
of universal criticism. Experience has
shown that the people will tolerate
mistakes, but they will not pardon lack
of courage and indecision. This is the
reason why Roosevelt had such large
following and why Taft had none.
Roosevelt had a saying that the only
way to handle thistle was to crush it
with the hand. Any man who wants to
be really great President must deal
with serious problems in this fashion.
1t is a waste of time now to speculate
upon what might have been, and yet one
wonders what would have been the pop
ular verdict if President Wilson had
vetoed the sundry civil bill and had
cut the Gordian knot in the Caminetti
case by making changes in his Cabinet.
1t is not too much to believe that he
would have found himself in a much
better position before the public.
The sum of human wisdom is expe-
rience. Looking back now upon Presi-
dent Taft's administration it is easy
to see how fatal to his success was his
temporizing in the Ballinger case. Ac-
cusations against Ballinger were made
by a subordinate. The latter was
promptly dismissed with a singing re-
Duke, and the Cabinet officer was
carried along, dead weight to the
administration. When after many
months the inevitable happened the
damage had been done There may
not be Ballinger in the present ad-
but it may not be amiss
for President Wilson to learn lesson
out of the chapters of the recent past.

The Nose I'm Minnesota.

From the Pathfinder.
How did the United States come TO get
that small corner of land which juts out
from the extreme northern boundary Of
Minnesota? History of that little nose
which sticks out into Canada from Min
nesota and which constitutes the north
ernmost point of the United States Is
very interesting. Under the treaty Of
l7sS boundary between the United States
and British possessions was fixed. A
certain point on the Lake of the Woods
was mutually agreed TO as one starting
point, this being considered the headwa-
tiers Of the St. Lawrence River and Great
Lakes system. At that time II was not
known whether this point was north or
south Of the forty-ninth parallel. but It
was known to be close to II. The under
standing was that from that point the
boundary should go north or south to
the forty-ninth parallel as the case might
be- Later and more accurate surveys
showed that point was about twenty-five
miles north Of the forty-ninth parallel.
and so at this place the boundary makes
q Job above that line. Uncle Sam thus
has a little piece Of territory of about
100 square miles in extent north Of the
general boundary. And the joke Of II Is
that any one has to go by water In
order to reach this little piece Of terri
tory. unless he wants to go through Can
ada.

Ebeu X, Long, of Omaha, Elected
ITO Times md Defeated but Once.
Omaha CNebr) Dispatch to the New York World
The champion officeholder of the coun-
try has resigned because Of old age and
deafness Eben K Long. of Omaha, has
been elected TO Office l7s times.
"And never vet asked any man to vote
for me-" he says.
Mr.. Long has been candidate 10 times,
and only once was he defeated; and that
was so long ago that he has almost for
soften n MANY OF his offices have been
in frathernal lodges: others have been city
and county Offices Fffty-five years ago
he was elected to his first political once,
and not a year has passed since then 'hat
he has not drawn a salary from the puo
lie. But long before that he was elected
TO Office in fraternal bodies.
Judge Long, now eighty-seven years
old, has been a justice OF the peace IN
Omaha for the last twenty-one years
during which time 1920 cases came be-
fore him for trial Scarcely an election
has heen held in Omaha for half CEN
tury that the name Eben X. Long has
not appeared on the Republican ticket
In or years, when his name was not
on a political ballot, ne managed to get
himself enrolled as a candidate IN some
order to which he belongs.
Eben X. Long was born in Newoury-
port, Mass, in 1926. He says he expects
to live to the century mark. I'm only
eighty-seven years DID," he says but
somehow / can't hear like / once could.
For that reason resigned as justice Of
the peace"
In 1855 Long came to Cincinnati ana
from there TO Omaha, where he mas re-
sided ever since. But long before he left
Massachusetts, he held office in the Ma
sonic fraternity. In MASSACHUSETTS ne
rode on the first train that ever ran over
a completed railroad in this country. That
was the old Boston and Lowell
In Cincinnati he held Office In various
lodges and fraternal societies, but 1t was
not until he came to Omaha early In the
SOS that he was elected to public ONCE
Omaha was only a collection Of mud huts
and Indian tepees when Judge Long was
elected city auditor When he came up
for reelection he was defeated by Charles
Goodrich, the only defeat he ever suf-
fered Afterward he was elected to the
school board, on which he served seven
teen years, two terms as chairman OF
the board. In 1891 he was elected jus
tice of. the peace. which office he held
until he resigned.

Monday morning, and if the court APP
proves, Judge Lovett and his advisers
will have won the closest race of re-
cent years, with justice, for The
United States Supreme Court gave the
Union Pacific Company until July I
to dispose of its Southern Pacific hold
ings.
In the ruling there was threatened
disaster. The Southern Pacific stock
in the Union Pacific treasury totaled
SIz6oooooo. To throw this vast
amount of securities of one railroad
on a market sick and aweary, with 6
per cent bond investments going beg
ging, with banks refusing to dislodge
their surplus, with semi-panicky con-
ditions prevailing, would have resulted
in needless sacrifice of millions and
tens of millions of dollars; needless,
because in the interim. no harm could
come to the country through the hold
ing of these securities, but the SUI
preme Court issued its edict, from
which there is no appeal.
Judge Lovett and his associate di-
rectors have worked in season and out
of season. Fortunately for him. the
Pennsylvania management was willing
to make an equitable trade, big block
of Baltimore and Ohio stock, which
governmental activities might dislodge
from its treasury, for corresponding
amount of Southern Pacific stock and
other interests suggested even further
trades. ..-+. - ~
1t is now stated that President VIII
son has taken a hand in the puzzle,
that he approves the ways by which
the Union Pacific may comply with the
law, and that means that the Attorney
General will not make serious objec-
tons. a-r
If way has been found equitable
to all, it is a good movement for the
country and removes from prosper
itys way one big bowlder of trouble.

Caucus Tariff Differences.

The postponement of the lobby in
quiry and the adoption of the cloture
rule by the Democratic caucus will
result in speedy report to the Senate
of the Underwood tariff bill.
The Democratic caucus is seeking
to smooth all differences existing
among members who comprise the ma
jority party, as it is responsible to the
country for the framing of a new
tariff law. The caucus is taking its
time and the majority leaders insist
that other business should go over in
order that members may concentrate
their attention on the subject for which
Congress was called in extra session.
Opposition in caucus and opposition
on the floor of the Senate are two
very different things. The caucus is
called for the purpose of allowing those
who object to certain rates, or in the
present instance the absence of any
rates whatever, to voice these objec-
tons, speak at length, and then, if
they be good party men, take their
medicine. No importance, therefore,
should be attached to the differences
arising in caucus. 1t was owing to
conflicting views that the caucus was
called. Caucus speeches are as moth
ing. The test will come on the floor
of the Senate. There Democratic
speeches against the bill will count
That there will be few of them is the
opinion of the Senate leaders.
The length of the consideration of
the bill in the Senate depends upon the
attitude of Republican Senators. With
the bill certain to become law sooner
or later the minority probably will not
offer factious opposition, but will con-
tent itself by pointing out objection
able features of the measure and then
voting against it. The Republican
Senators probably will feel that they
are not called upon to resort to the
extremity of a filibu5ter against the
measure.

The Case as a Political Factor.

Administrations, as well as people,
are Judged by their actions. Sometimes
trivialities are magnihed, sometimes
really great achievements are over
looked. The fate of an administration
depends altogether upon the impress
sion which its commissions or omis-
sions make upon the public mind.
The Caminetti case happens to be
one that appeals directly to the moral
side of American citizenship. The
perils besetting young girls have been
forcibiy brought to the attention Of
the entire country. A law to suppress
the white slave traffic has been enacted
When, therefore, the son of a govern
ment official is charged with a flag
rant ofense against decency and morals
and has been indicted therefor, and
when the influence of Cabinet officers
IS successfully sought to delay prose-
cution, there is apt to be vigorous ex-
preston from the awakened conscience
OF the people. Nor is there any rea-
son why such case should not be
made political issue. Activity in
arousing public resentment against toll
Grafton of immortality tends to purify
the atmosphere. Ii keeps an admins
tration in the right path. President
Wilson, therefore, will be commended
for the promptness with which he di-
rected that prosecution should be has
tened, even though his action does not

story.
He and his staff. he said. had been
asked to examine the school curriculum
of a certain large New England town.
He discovered that most of the children
dropped out of that school at the sew
enth grade. Probing further. he found
that the course in arithmetic in that
grade dealt almost wholly with the vari-
Gus tables of measurement. He took ten
representative problems from this course
and submitted them to ten business and
professional executives in New York City,
men whose salaries range from 5000 to
$4,000 a year. The story continues:
THE highest mark was scored by the
secretary Of a well-known propa gandist
society in social work. His grade was Is
There were several zeros. Two of the
problems were concerned with buying and
selling paper In bulk. One OF the men who
took the examination was the editor of a
magazine and another was the head Of
book publishing house.
Both failed on these two problems.
They declared that the terms employed in
the problem had not been in current use
for fifty years. Each of the ten men ex-
planned his low grade by saying: I

any use for 1t since"
