THE LESSON OF THE VACATION The Nation, being the reprinted form of the editorial columns of the New York Kvenlng Post, is led to remark, that there ought to be a prohibition by statute enjoining the chief executive from taking a vacation during the first six months of his office. In driving this home the Nation adduces the argument that the diplomatic corps is suffering from the absence of President Taft. It cites the case of the Important post at Peking which wa3 offered to two notables in this country and then passed on to Mr. Crane, who was led on and on into the mire of misfortune. But the Nation does not speak of more intimate reasons as to the undesirability of the present trip from the viewpoint of the administration. What real good has it accomplished? Has the president really gotten into closer touch with the people? Surely the people who have been at his elbow are those who have had some special ax 3 to grind and the conversation of the real people, or as we would prefer to call them, the average citizens, has been mainly cheers or absolute silence. This does not suppose any very intimate inquiry into the state of mind of the rank and file. Or viewed from the other standpoint does the propaganda of Mr. Taft in standing up for Aldrich and Cannon seem to have converted the citizens of

the Middle West? On the contrary, there are those who would think that the people would just as soon have not had to listen to the glowing trlb- - utes of these men from the lips of the president. Instead of dispelling what doubts the people had of the present policy of the adminstration did it not add to those very doubts? The "vacation," as the Nation is pleased to term the presidential tour, has led to a feeling in the minds of Middle Westerners, which is well expressed by the Indianapolis Star: "Probably the most discouraging feature of the situation is the apparent hopelessness of asking or expecting any aid from the White House, where reforms of all sorts have grown accustomed to look for encouragement and active help. Thesupport that Mr. Taft has given both to Cannon and to Al

drich has been not of negative, but of

positive character, and at times when they needed it the most: and the signal assistance he rendered to Mr. Tawney

is painfully significant in view of that

gentleman's uniform and spirited antagonism to the Roosevelt policies. U seems extremely Improbable that Mr. Cannon can be unhorsed in the house or Mr. Aldrich in the senate without aid from the White House, and of that the prospect is very dark." This doubt of the administration's policy does not proceed from any thing else than the actions of the administration itself. The people of this part of the country who supported Taft, did so with few misgivings. They voted for a continuance of the Roosevelt po!

Icles and the doctrines which now form

the frame work of the insurgents. It can be said that the insurgent move

ment began primarily with the people and to that fact the movement owes Its strength. Whether it is that the administration has never really understood this or not or whether it has disregarded it in a deliberate effort to

prove that this is not a continuance of

Roosevelt's regime, makes no difference. 1 The trip of the president has

not done anything to clear the waters.

except that the people are beginning to feel that whatever they wish for they must obtain through their Insurgent representatives and not from the executive department. And those congressmen who are hiding behind the

administration are not improving their chances for re-election.

. This - realisation, which surely wa not the Intent of the trip of President Taft, begins' to loom up as the real product of the "vacation.

THE RHODE ISLANDERS Since Collier's Weekly settled the

question as to what to call Beveridge

and the other Middle Westerners, who have refused to bow to the calf of Mammon and call it the Republican party, we have had few suggestions as to what to dub Aldrich, Cannon, et al Insurgents is surely a better name than Progressives. It might be well to call the Insurgents, Real Republicans and let it go at that. But what shall we call the others? The Kansas City Star comes to the rescue with a sardonic smile. It says: "There was something of the daring humorist In Speaker Cannon when, in his Elgin speech, he declared that if the insurgents were republicans he was something else. Now, the question is, What is Cannon? According to his own alternative he is not a republican, since ths insurgents unmistakably are republi

cans. He certainly is not a democrat, even if he did enter into a plot to control the house with the aid of demo

cratic votes. He is not a populist, and

no one would accuse him of being a socialist. Heaven knows he is not a

prohibitionist. Then what is he? Since all of them, including Cannon

have been following the lead of Aldrich and the interests he represents, there seems to be no better term t define them, for the present, than the name already given Rhode Islanders. This

name is especially fitting, not alone for the reason that Aldrich is a Rhode Island senator but also because the fact that the smallest state has the

greatest power in congress is typical

of the domination of a small class of

special interests over the great mass

of the people."

the cloud of a smoking chimney is as

much annoyed and injured wnen tne rhimnev is nart of a public school

building or a municipal lighting plant

as when it is part of a factory. He has more reason to complain of the

municipal than of the private nuisance for it is the duty of the city to set

citizens a good example by obeying

its own ordinances. When city employes violate the smoke ordinances with impunity, while private offend

ers are Drosecuted. the latter are in

clined to say It is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. If too much

smoke comes from the chimney of a

municipal lighting plant the man who

is responsible should be taken before

the civil service commission and discharged. His successor would be

more careful. If the chimney of a nnhlie school smokes, the school

board should order the dismissal of

the offending employe. A little vig

orous disciplining would end the

smoke nuisance as far as public build

ings are concerned.

IN ULTIMA THULE

Now that our scientists are beginning to cloud Peary's title to the pole, those who love the law of balance as applied to the see-saw of the world will rejoice. As one editorial writer remarks it has been particularly hard to prove that any one has ever been to the celestial regions, and the North Pole is like unto it. Our own suggestion would be that the present situation would be appropriately termed in table d'hote language: "Cook Pudding with Peary Sauce." Cela.

Restricting Appeals. From the Columbus, O., State Journal. Illinois is doing something to abolish that widespread abuse of the "law's delay." It has a new practice

act which greatly limits appeals, and it is expected to result in a more prompt settlement of litigation. The

idea that has prevailed to a great ex

tent that continuous appeals and run

ning from one court to another on some little question of law are promotive of justice is fast losing ground. It is usually the case that the grounds of appeal do not touch the heart of the matter, but relate to some technical or speculative incidents, to which there is no end.

TWINKLES

(BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.)

Not a Business Obligation. "Your country owes you a debt of

gratitude," said the admiring constituent.

"Thanks," replied Senator Sorghum; "the only objection to a debt of gratitude is that it is never secured by tangible assets on which a man can realize in an emergency."

Misanthropy. How history repeats itself. Though figures new arise to fame, It is the same old tale of pelf. Sought by the same old gold-brick game!

A Surmise. Mrs. Gabson's

favorite

"What is

book?" "I don't know," answered Miss Cayenne; "from the interest she takes in knowing the names, occupation and home surroundings of everybody she sees I should think it ought to be the city directory."

A Non-Combatant. "Why don't you play bridge whist?" "Because I want to be popular. If

you play badly you lose and ieople wish you were out of the game. And

!if you play well you win and people

wish you were out of the game just the same."

TALKS ABOUT BUSINESS

Make It Go. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. Progressive Englishmen say that the house of lords is at a standstill, as it has been for a century, but they have hopes of winding it up and making it go.

Raising Money. From the Baltimore Sun. If Washington can raise ten thousand dollars in ten minutes for the airship meet, it ought to be able to finance an airship trust in a week.

Hems Gathered in From Far and Near

Up to the Boys. From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil. A conference of governors is to be held in the interest of the safe and sane Fourth movement. A conference of small boys might avail more.

The Reason. From the Augusta Herald. It is not strange that Minnesota is classed as the best governer state. More editors are elected to office in that state than in any other.

Up-to-Date Lobbying. From the Philadelphia Press. It takes money to get legislation through Congress. That assertion may have an ugly sound. It may arouse visions of the buying and selling of congressmen's votes. It is the truth, however. Tho money is spent

legitimately. It Is clean money, anj

under present conditions is necessary

money. The day when the lobbyist haunted the halls of Congress, and in dark crypts and recesses secretly i

placed in the nervous and grasping ; fingers of corrupt statesmen great : rolls of greenbacks, has long passed. if it ever existed. It Is doubtful if it j ever did exist, except in the imagina-1 tion of the sensationalist. While $100 or $1,000 bills do not pass from the hand of the lobbyist to that of tht congressman, It is nevertheless true that hundreds of thousands of dollarr have been spent in securing laws that are now on the statute books. This money was used for educational purposes, and it was not used in Washing ton. It was spread out over tht whole broad land. It was used in ed ucatlng the voters in congressional districts as to the necessity of such laws.

The Way With Tammany. From the Louisville Post. The charges of terrible crimes against Tammany will only serve to make the regular Tammany men more enthusiastic over their bosses than ever.

In an address before the students at high school. Superintendent T. A. Mott

of the public schools, spoke interestingly on the new high school build

ing that is being erected at the corner of North Ninth and B streets. Mr.

Mott stated that the new building, which would cost $125,0'i0. would b? one of the finest structures in the 6tat

thoroughly equipped and modern in ev

ery particular. Mr. Mott declared that

the taxpayers of Richmond endorsed the action of the city in erecting th-; new building, all asserting that it was

badly needed and was none too large for the needs of this city. The standing and rating of a busi ness man and the advantage of secur

ing an education was discussed by M"

Mott. who stated that a business man s credit was often more essential to him than so much actual cash.

GOVERNMENT POSITIONS FOR MEN AND WOMEN The Government gives Railway Mail Clerks $800 to $1,200, and other employes up to $2,500 annually.

VNSCIRVPVILOVS OEAILEIRS UN PHAFflDS The fictitious values placed by unscrupulous dealers upon their product can be looked on in no other light ex

cept as an attempt to defraud. A piano, as any other legitimate product, has but one value which, in many instances, is entirely unknown to the intending purchaser. The occasion of buying a piano occurs but once or at least should occur but once in the experience of every purchaser. But few have sufficient knowledge to critically inspect an unknown instrument, or if they may possess that knowledge no one can tell now what the piano will be after a few years' usage. All these truths evolve into one fact THE ONLY WAY TO JUDGE REAL PIANO QUALITY IS BY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ITS MAKER. A reputable manufacturer who has built his business by years of coonscientious effort would never consider offering for sale any product which would not reflect credit upon his standing. Further, no business, regardless of how strong it may be, can prosper if such methods are resorted to even once. For these reasons consider first, last and always the manufacturer; if no name is given, do not give that piano further thought; if you have never heard of such a firm, by all means take time to learn who they are. It should be a piano whose tone is ever fresh and pure. One so substantially built no ordinary use will deteriorate, yet possessing an air of refinement and culture. Watch these points and you will always get true piano quality.

Arrival of FJew Styles

Importance off Comotructioira

Since the upright case has become a standard general design, the casual observer might not detect the different styles shown by different manufacturers. NOT SO WITH A STARR. Our pianos are designed by one of the highest salaried designers in this country. Every piano turned out by us is a different patterna new design. The prevailing design for this year tends to plainness. The cases never were so attractive and rich looking. The woods are shown in walnut, mahogany, English oak, Circasian walnut, teak and maple wood. See the Princess Model.

L

Few apparently realize the wonderful strides made in the piano industry during recent years. It is true there have been no radical changes which have permanently affected the industry, yet the instruments presented by . reputable manufacturers have the marks of more careful construction than formerly was considered necessary. The Starr Piano Co. is an exemplification of these most up-to-date ideas. It is in the truest sense a thoroughly modern conception and as such we present it to you. The materials entering into construction are selected with most exacting care, that each separate part may contribute its share toward making the perfect whole. You cannot make a mistake in purchasing a piano made by us.
