HERALD SOUNDS PRAISE OF TUFT FOR MAGIC WORK New York Organ Lauds the Success of the First Three Months of the Cincinnati Man's Reign.

REVISION OF TARIFF NO HURT TO BUSINESS It Is Stated to the American People That an Era of Good Feeling Has Finally Come To Pass. ' New York, Juno 7. The Herald this morning published the following dispatch from Washington: "Three months of Mr. Taft in the (White House! "What ia the state of the country? "Here in Washington, where the course that Mr. Taft is pursuing is being constantly viewed with reference to its relation to domestic business conditions, the impression Is strong that a modern worker of magic has been busy to bring about a business fcoom during the revision of the tariff, Undertaking low level depression following a panic. Administrations are held responsible for panics. Why should they not be given credit for prosperity? That is the argument. Tumult Transferred. "Tumult has been transferred from the White House to the senate. When men are called liars it happens now under the dome of the capitol. - Mr. fTaft has been in the office 94 days. TThere have been but three messages to congress making recommendations. One, of 340 words, related to the tariff. . Another related to the failure of self-government in Porto Rico. Another related to the success of self-government in Cuba, "There have been no prosecutions instituted against corporations with a trass band, but that doesn't mean that no prosecutions will be begun later with dignity and sobriety. There have been no altercations with nature takers, rifle manufacturers or photographers. There has been but one inspired statement as to what the president wanted congress to do, and the Nsbraskan who put it forth was placed .tinder the 'lid' and the lid was satupon. Lotf ef ThI igs Not Done. "Oh, Iota of things have not been done since March 4. The patriot who wanted commissions for this, that and the other, in opposition to congress, lias gone home to wait for better and brighter times. The muckraker has departed to roost at the health resort and - the breakfast-food factory. The Idealist, who desired congressional laws overridden has turned his attention to architecture and landscape gardening. The cabinet minister who would spend $1,000,000 on a government building without complying with the law has had his ambitious wings clipped. "Comparisons are odious. It will be more to the point to show what Mr. ;Taft has initiated and how he has dona ft "What are the signs and finger boards he placed along his course during the three months? Are Convinced Now. "Well, for one thing. Senator Hale, and Representative Tawney, chairman lof the house committee on appropriations, are quite convinced that the government of the United States is now a law abiding concern. The gov ernment itself is Betting an example, (according to these men. that the laws of the United States must be obeyed iby officials, as well as by the corpor (Btlons, and the labor unions. Hard as (the pill has been to swallow, the navy department has yielded its contention that the commander-in-chief is su preme, and in obedience to a law of congrees, marines have gone back on board the battleships. "The Department of Justice, the Department of Commerce and Labor and the Interstate Commerce commission have flown from an old practice, and no longer 1s the bureau of corpor ations used as a collector of evidence in criminal prosecution. Hardship though it may be, retired naval offi cers, hale and hearty, have been re lieved from assignments to active duty and have gone into retirement, be cause the attorney general said the practice was illegal.

vice has been restored to Its statutory operations. "This Is merely a statement of ac

complishment, touching a few of the things that hare marked a return to normal conditions. "Very long steps have been, taken in the direction of the reign of law. A great believer in terminating the law's delay and insuring even-handed juctice to all classes, Mr. Taft has been the mainspring in this revolution. "But he has gone further than this. Hand in hand with the restoration of the law has come a fixed and serious policy on the 'part of the president to take the federal judiciary out of politics. It is also his effort to raise the standard of federal judges as high as intelligent selection can elevate it. Mr. Taft is deeply interested in this, and his friends regard it as one of the great moves of his career as president. He has shown it in almost every appointment. "Being human and wholesome and good natured, it is, of course, not be yond possibility that he should gometimes err. He has made a few mistakes, perhaps. Some of them already made he has remedied. Only the other day he recalled a judicial nomination because he had been misinformed as to the experience of the appointee. He has laid down a hard and fast rule. If the best man in a community will take a judicial ap pointment be shall have it. If not the best man) then the next best man. If there isn't a good republican who fills the bill, the appointment will go to a good democrat. If the best man hap pens to be one who supported the candidacy of Mr. Taft, all the better. The president delights to honor those whom be has long known personally and who have shown their belief in him." - THE SPY SYSTEM. 8i th Very Seal of the Oorera.' nt In nni. Russia is pre-eminently the land of spies. In Moscow in the streets agents M .l - i : i .it i rnrt ui iue iiuuvtc are Biaiiuu?u every uvui vards. In addition secret amenta watch 1 the houses day and night, one being allotted to every four houses, and in every house is another spy the porter. Go where you will, you are never out of the watchful eye of the police. You brush against spies in your hotel, as in the theaters; in a restaurant, as in the drawing room of a friend. It is ridiculously easy to recognize those you meet in the fashionable resorts. They have evidently been instructed to disguise themselves as gentlemen, and for one of them the livery of a gentleman is a frock coat, a silk hat and always, by rain or sunlight, an umbrella. The famous third police! A stranger might fancy that in an open cab, talking French or English to his friend, he would at least be safe from surveillance. But his friend will touch him significantly and speak of the weather. The fat cabby on the box, somnolent, with white hair and good paternal eyes, may be a spy more skilled in the languages than the traveling stranger, and if the cabman has been found loitering near the great clubs, the hotels or the embassies the chances are strong that he is. A subtler police than that of the third section the akrana, which has its ramifications in every capital in Europe and America completes this great system of espionage. Its mesh is over every man in Russia. Success. SECOND RENAISSANCE. Another Revival oC Art, It la Claimed, Is Needed. In order to reform our present stereotyped methods of art we want a second renaissance. For long years we have done nothing but turn out from our colleges young men stuffed with useless sclentfflc lumber, and they very quickly lose it all. and there is nothing tO'tnke its place. This is not to be wondered at when throughout Eurspe there is such a neglect of art in our education. It may be replied to me that the Inventions of science compensate for the deficiency, but these inventions are almost exclusively if not quite a mere increase in the power of the bodily senses and faculties the telegraph in that of the tongue, the telephone in that of the ear, the railway in that of the legs, the photographic science in that of the eye and these inventions leave in ignorance the more intellectual part of the individual. Your portrait can be taken, your voice boxed up this is extraordinary but the soul which commands, the god which is in the head, is forgotten. And yet the means for altering this state of things is near at hand, is beneath our eyes. We have still the same nature that Inspired those anonymous sculptors to give us the Gothic; we still have a sufficient number of Gothic masterpieces intact so many epitomes of nature, as I have said to show what can be done by the man who starts with his vision open to her teaching. Auguste Rodin in North American Review. t Climate and Pelltlea. The climate of Australia is the chief factor la fashioning Australian politics. If It is advanced it is because the sun there has forced an early development. Girls here reach maturity two or three years earlier than in America, and countries count by generations. Meanwhile perpetual summer and continual sunlight are sapping Individual energies. Even the American who comes here soon finds that sustained hustling is a physical Impossibility-. Let him spend three or four years In the country, and he will cease to wonder at the laws for an eight hour day and the early closing of shops. The winter is only another summercooler. It is true, but not cold enough to be invigorating. Burriss Graham in Booklever'a Msgatine. Sarcastic. A North Carolina lawyer was trying a case before a Jury, being counsel for the prisoner, a man charged with making "mountain dew." The judge was very hard on him. and the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. The lawyer mered for new trial. The judge de nied the motion and remarked. "The court and the Jory think the prisoner a knave and a foot. After a moment's silence the lawyer answered: "The prisoner wirtw me to say that be ia perfectly aactsaed. He baa been triad

s IK U MISS REINA STATE E Sons of Veterans Will Hold a Convention at Terre Haute, Tuesday. A FEW LOCAL DELEGATES Richmond can have the twentyfourth annual encampment of the Indiana Sons of Veterans, if it wants it, according to a well known member of the local order. However it is not probable that such an effort will not be made at this year's convention, which convenes in Terre Haute Tues day. Mrs. Delia Phenis, president of the state auxiliary will attend and it is probable that Laurence Handley and City Judge Converse will also at tend. Rev. T. J. Graham is the dele gate from the local camp, but he does not believe he can make the trip. Invitations received from the com mittees in charge of this year's affair are printed on a large pasteboard key on which it states, "You are invited to attend the skiddoo (23) convention of the Indiana Sons of Veterans En campment at the "Hut", June 8 and 9." The city is promised to the visitors, according to the invitations. WHY SHu CUULDN'T FIND IT. Ialrr Xmtm Early Htatory mt Ger 7 Developed m Pnssle. In the state department, where a fair knowledge of history is the one requisite above others, information ceiicerning the earlier history of Germany was desired. The employee upon whom this task of finding this devolved is a young woman who passed the civil service examination with an Al grade. She went to the bookshelves and looked in that section where the historical data of this country are kept. "That's funny," she murmured after rummaging through the volume. "Here Is Germany, but these books don't go back far enough." After anotherdesultory search through the volumes she came and stood beside an elder woman whose early education, though by no means as comprehensive as that of today, consisted In learning what she did learn well. "Do you know where the rest of Ger. many is?" the girl asked. "It's all there," wss the answer. "But it can't be. because it doesn't go back as far as I want", The elder woman looked at the slip of paper in the girl's hand on which a date prior to the time ef Frederick the Great was written. "There was no Germany as early as that" she said promptly. "Then how can I find it?" the girl helplessly asked. "Look under Prussia, of course," the elder woman answered.

Tbree exceptionally good vaudeville acts are promised for this week and judging from reports from other cities they should attract large crowds. WANTS ABOLISH II Prof. Knouff ThinksHammer Throw Is a Very Dangerous Pastime. ONE KILLED THIS YEAR Since the danger v of the hammer throw has been again conclusively proven by the death of Prof. Hoak of Purdue University, two or three days after he was struck by the hammer in the state high school track and field meet, at Purdue, it Is probable that this event will be eliminated from the field events in the future. Prof. C. W. Knouff, principal of the high school athletic association, favors tha discontinuance of the event Of the same belief are many other Indiana teachers and athletes. Besides tho danger of the event it is not an especially interesting one and can be participated in only by the stronger athletes of any school. "After all. this is a very wicked world," said the ready made philosopher.
