The hen that cackles loudest may not lay the largest eggs; The mule that kicks the hardest may not have the longest legs; The tree that is the tallest may not bear the sweetest fruit, And the girl who is the fairest may not wear the smallest boot. The man whose brow is highest may not always know the most; The hero who is bravest may not make the loudest boasts; The arm that is the strongest may not have the farthest reach, And the man who talks the longest may not make the finest speech. The rose that is the reddest may not have the sweetest scent; The man whose strut is proudest may not be most prominent; The woman who has jewels that she measures by the peck May not have the slimmest fingers or the most delightful neck. The man who works the hardest may not draw the highest pay; The one with deepest knowledge may not have the most to say; But the man who is most modest gets the last seat in the rear, And the one who blows his bugle is the one whom people hear. —Chicago Record-Herald. New Mexico has gone Democratic. We had our suspicions about admitting the territory as a state. Taft, tariff and Teddy are about the only topics of conversation just now. The Script Press claims to be independent in politics, but it always supports a Democrat for office. Republicans in New Jersey put something of a crimp in Woodrow Wilson, but the Socialists crimped Taft in Ohio and it's hoss and hoss with them. And Mississippi went Democratic by a big majority! What a change of sentiment! the girl, it can be home. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOV. 10, 1911. Born—A Chinese Republic. There is every reason to believe that a new republic has been born and the world is one step nearer the people's rule. The revolutionists in China have almost completed their work and though the Imperial army is still struggling with might and main to preserve the dragon, yet to us on this side of the water it seems a hopeless task. Step by step the whole world is drifting away from the one-man power and republics are slowly but surely succeeding monarchies. Whether or not the people in the Chinese empire are capable of governing themselves is a serious question in the minds of the American people, but on a sober second thought the Americans have had little or no way of judging what the real Chinaman is capable of doing, since they have no knowledge of any Chinamen save those who come to America to do drudgery in order to get a bunch of money to go back to China and live at their ease the balance of their lives. Turkey Takes a Tumble. It is refreshing to learn from the great metropolitan centers of the United States that turkeys will not only be cheaper this year for Thanksgiving, but will be more plentiful than they have been for years past. If there is anyone thing that the average citizen of the United States heartily enjoys it is a big fat turkey for Thanksgiving. The father and the mother who do not seek to bedeck their table on that national holiday and day of Thanksgiving with not only a juicy turkey as big and as fat as can be had but with everything else that is palatable, are not worthy to be the mother and father of boys and girls. The trusts in the past have seen to it that the price of turkeys was so high that it was like eating grains of gold to have one for Thanksgiving, but for the most part all had one, inspite of high prices, and now that turkeys will sell at a reasonable price and the market will show no signs of a shortage we hope that young America will spread itself on Thanksgiving Day. Municipal Telephone for Seattle. Figure it by whatever rule you will or may, you reach the same results, the raising of the rates of the Independent Telephone Company was fathered by the principal stockholders of that company, who are also the principle stockholders of the Pacific States Telephone Company, which has a perpetual franchise that permits it to charge the patrons a hundred dollars per month for each instrument, if it so desires; the present agitation to have the business men of the city cut out the Independent on account of the increased rate are shrewd moves on the parts of the friends of the VOLUME XVIII, NUMBER 36. Pacific States Telephone Company to kill the Independent and thereby give the former the monomoply. The bluff of E. E. Webster the general manager of the Independent, to the effect he means to protect the interests of the stockholders of his company, is so thin that you can see through it when you even look the other way. It's all for a telephone trust. One telephone system is all the city should patronize, but that one system should belong to the municipality, and if the voters desire to protect themselves they will start a different kind of agitation, which will be for the city to own a system of its own and then let the Pacific States Telephone monopoly charge just as much as it pleases. Nothing gave the citizens of Seattle cheap electric lights until the city put in its own plant and the rates were at once cut in twain, and now they are being reduced at least twenty-five per cent more, all the result of the municipal lighting plant. The citizens are not getting a square deal from the Pacific States Telephone Company and will never do so until they take the bull by the horns and install a municipal telephone system just as they did a municipal lighting system. Public Opinion Sways. This telephone controversy, which is being directed at the Independent Telephone Company, when those who have been residents of Seattle for the past ten years stop and think for a moment, becomes extremely amusing, and it demonstrates the fact that public opinion sways to and fro like the pendulum of a clock. It was a bitter war against the Sunset Telephone Company that brought the Independent into the field and it was the continuous warfare against the Sunset that prompted the citizens to order the system out of their service until it was estimated the company had lost nearly 10,000 instruments and contracts. The Sunset company saw it had to do something in return for the money it was actually robbing the people of and so it improved its system and began at once to do a political stunt all of itself, and as a result, the same men that were fighting it are now for it, and just as pronounced against the Independent as they were the Sunset. Americans Money Mad. The will of the late Col. W. F. Prosser, who died in this city a few weeks ago, who before his death was one of the prominent pioneers of the Northwest, has been admitted to probate and the estate is estimated to be worth $200,000. It, however, is not so much the real value of the estate that we desire to speak on, but the never ceasing desire of the citizen of the United States to get money, then get more money, and never cease to get money. Col. Prosser The People's Forum Bv A. G. McBride 2 in his seventies fought for an office, not for the honor in it, but for the salary, and when he was accused of being wealthy and should be willing to step down and out for a coming man he protested and declared he was a man of very moderate circumstances and actually needed the salary. There is no denying the fact the Americans are money mad and if they do not make money in the world beyond it will not be because they have not spent every minute of their terrestial lives in learning how to make money. Monevs Use and Abuse. The real wealth of the world consists in capacity, in culture, in social influence, in power to turn money or other material advantages into thought, into executive power, into social pleasure, into right living, into permanent institutions that shall secure the prosperity, happiness, and moral progress of mankind. The most serious danger to the American home is found by Hon. William J. Bryan to arise from our devotion to money making. The neglect of some of the home duties is, no doubt, owing to excessive demands of business upon the husband and father. But "Life" gets closer to the facts when it says, editorially: "The matter about homes is not so much that we are too busy making money, as that too many of us don't know how to make homes with the money when we get it."—Ex. Seattle His First Love. "In early days I was a citizen of Seattle and at that time I owned what are now considered some of the most valuable corner lots in the city and though I was attracted to the wheat fields of eastern Washington, where, for most of the time, I have resided, yet I have always had a sneaking idea that some day I would come back home again and spend my last days in my first love," said State Senator R. A. Hutchinson one day this week, who was in Seattle looking after his extensive property interest. A few years ago he moved from his country home into Spokane, where he soon became one of the largest real estate dealers in that city. Twice, since leaving Seattle, he has been elected to the state senate and while a member of that body he never lost an opportunity to do a good turn for Seattle. It is said that Senator Hutchinson has an eye single to the Republican lieutenant gubernatorial nomination and may enter the contest next year, providing the other talked of candidate of Spokane will get out of the way and give him clean sailing. "Should I go into the fight I am inclined to think the business men of Seattle will give me a warm support, because they can but remember that when I was in the senate there never came up a measure in which Seattle was interested and it did not injure any other section of the state, but what the Seattle rooters could always count on my vote. Though I should not be nominated, in case I ran, I would feel that the business men of the city appreciated my efforts if I got a good vote in King County." Those Off Year Elections. The elections in many of the states of this country held last Tuesday seem to indicate nothing or in no sense foreshadow the re- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN sults of the presidential election next year. The election in New Jersey may have put a crimp in the presidential kite of Woodrow Wilson, the governor of that state, but the general dissatisfaction that prevails all over the country, may rally to and center as quickly on Woodrow Wilson, though he has lost the political control of his state, as if he had won it in a whoop. The fact that the Socialists gained a number of mayoralty elections in Ohio, and that Cincinnati went Democrat are no indications that Ohio will repudiate Taft next year, but the change is due to local conditions. Kentucky went Democratic as it always does except on spasmodic occasions. A Socialist almost beat the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor of Mississippi, but that is no indication that Socialism is growing in the south, but it being impossible for those who oppose the thieving practices of the Democrats of Mississippi to make any headway with the Republican candidate they voted for the Socialist for want of a better political change. In the presidential contest next year party lines will be drawn as sharply as ever in the past, but in state, county and municipal elections the average voter is not sticking so closely to his old party of yaller dorg fame as he did in years past, and as a result, the old parties went down and up, here and there, and, in some instances, down and out with no particular party significance so far as the national administration is concerned. What the Taft administration must do in order to win next year is to continue to demonstrate to the working classes that it is not standing for the classes at the expense of the masses, and that the trust kings and the railroad magnates are not the whole show, and in fact only a small part of it. Think of it, Secretary Fisher crossed Scientific management has come, and come to stay, and its benefits will soon be extended to municipal affairs. Slowly, but surely, our system of government is improving, and municipal affairs can and will be taken out of politics. Business management, scientific management, is all we need now to cut close to the ideal. How shall we get it? It's the easiest thing in the world. It will take a little time—a little work, some meditation. My plan is to make the mayor an appointive office by the council. That is, try that first. Just so long as the mayor is elected by the people and is supported in the election by the newspapers and politicians, so long will he be controlled by the force that put him in office. Try it. If that don't improve conditions, amend your charter and let the council employ a non-resident mayor. Pay a good price and retain him as long as he makes good at a good, stiff salary. Give him to understand that Seattle is paying for scientific management—not political. Gipsy Smith is with us no more. From all accounts, he did much good in Seattle. In other words, he made good. A man who can come to Seattle and in three weeks start about four thousand sinners to praying ought to have a monument. Friday, November 10, 1911 the continent to go to Alaska to see to it that the common people get a square deal, and he crossed the continent in a private car of a railroad magnate, and lived on the fat of the land, and yet it is argued he will spank the railroad magnate as hard as he will the farmer or the hod carrier. The very idea is preposterous. Suppose the money kings are against Mr. Taft, how many votes per have they to give to him, only those they buy at so much per? Hard times in the United States will do the money kings far more injury than they will the farmer and the man who works for a living, and if they want to tighten up let them go to it, and when it is over count the cost and they will see they are out at the little end of the horn. The person with nothing has nothing to lose. Teach Common Sense. We hope in celebrating the fiftieth anniversary the faculty and the students of the University of Washington decided to turn over new rules and spend the school year in a more meritorious calling than in making monkeys of themselves through the prominent streets of the city as is the custom of the students. The parent, who did not go up to his daughter and spank her, until she preferred to stand rather than to take a seat, right on the streets while out a few nights ago in their hideous costums, has little or no care for her future. May, perhaps, girls can "tom boy" about over a great city like Seattle with the men and boys that promiscuously gather at the college, more for fun than for study, and remain pure, but there are thousands and thousands of persons, as good by nature and far better by practice, who do not believe it The city council is to spend thirty-five hundred dollars for the construction of a garage for why? To keep officials from using the machine except for city business. Honest now, wouldn't it be better to cut off a few official heads and stop the joy riding and use the $3,500 for some more useful purpose? Seattle has a host of women who are devoting their lives to good work, and especially to the protection of young girls and the elimination of white slavery. These women, I am glad to say are nobly aided by many good, true men. While I was with Mr. Vanderveer, fully ninety-five per cent of prosecutions of the nature referred to were assigned to me, and I have given the subject much thought and came to the conclusion that by the adoption of scientific management the downfall of fully fifty per cent of the young girls could be prevented, and with only a trifling, if any, added expense. During Judge Miller's administration Seattle was declared to be one of the greatest white slave markets in the United States. For a time prosecutions were numerous, but they seem to have fallen off. Prosecuting slavers is to be encouraged, but prevention is the better scheme. Save the girls, it can be done. Country Press and Comment eG Rs Hriday, November 1U, i711. Those people who are interested in good, honest, clean government, should know what Gov. Hiram Johnson has done for California. The most important reform of all was to drive the Southern Pacific Rail- way Company out of politics. * * There is a man by the name of Redels- heimer that does business at the corner of First and Columbia, that is talked of for mayor. I wish I had enough votes to elect him. He would give the city a business administration, and that is what we have always needed, but never have had. * * And now Wall Street declares that if we want a return of good times, Taft must be elected. The president should pray to be delivered from his friends. * * President Taft's administration is trying to put Col. Roosevelt in a bad light for the part the latter took in the steel trust’s ab- sorption of other interests for the purpose of preventing a panic. What the Colonel did was no doubt prompted by~ patriotic motives and the President will make few additional friends by misrepresentation. The Colonel’s evidence before a congressional investigating committee showed to my mind that he did what he thought was for the best and what was in fact the best thing that could have been done. * * The Times has rushed to the defense of Manager Webster and I would like to ask it why deposits for Independent phones are not returned when the company takes out its phones? By what right does it retain its patrons’ money when the contract is re- scinded by mutual agreement and there is no existing indebtedness for the use of the phone? E * * The Star's twinkle looks good to me when it advocates city ownership of the Inde- pendent plant. The manager of the Sunset wires up from San Francisco that his com- pany wants it. Water, light, telephones and street car lines should be owned by every large city. Now is the time to take the Independent in. Every councilman should be put on record. Let the people know who are their friends. The commission that permitted an increase of rates needs watch- ing. FE NE as Ge Pe Con ec ee unr lee See gatas Soy Me Teen All things working well, the publishers of weekly papers in King county will meet in Kent tomorrow and organize a King County Press Club. It is hoped by those who are interesting themselves in the move to put on foot a live organization that will work for the general uplift of the weekly press. A majority of the publishers of the county have signified their intention of be- ing present and lend whatever aid they can in perfecting the organization to the best advantage. “Navy Prisoner Got Bread and Water,” says a Star head line. If he has been a reader of the Star he ought to have gotten life. The last leap of President Taft is now being spun off, and we suspect it’s the most worrying one of them all, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN “The Grimes Golden,” says the White River Journal, “is one of the best apples grown in Western Washington and grow- ers in that neck of the woods are realizing splendid returns from it.” The Redmond Press is the latest country weekly that has made its bow to an admir- ing public. The Press is under the manage- ment of the Ulmers, who own a paper in Ballard. The Ulmers have been prominent in the weekly newspaper circles of the state for many years. The Odessaa Record curtly remarks, “Turkey generally gets it in the neck about this time of the year,” which is more ot less true, but if the stories from Tripoli be true, Turkey is getting it all over the body. The first section of the Mecada Road, which was built by Sam Hill in Klickitat county, the road leading to Maryhill farm, the property of Sam Hill, was recently fin- ished and the people of the county held a public barbecue, so says the Sentinel of Gol- dendale, “to show the builders they appre? ciate the publicity the county is getting by the building of the road. A howling good time was reported. ~ The Davenport Tribune does not take much stock in persons with no training in the art of journalism or correspondence at- tempting to do that kind of work and ad- roitly declares, all amateur efforts of that kind, though the persons are at the head of other professions, prove the most dismal failures. We fully agree. In our journal- istic experience we have seen men with reputations as standing at the top of the legal profession, set down to write a politi- cal announcement for themselves or some friend and the production they handed over to be published would have ruined them politically had it been published. Everybody to their calling. There is more truth than poetry in the following excerpt from the Lincoln County Times:, “A city or community must have united interests to forge ahead.” Even if the individual of a community wishes to prosper he or she must work in unison with the entire community, and the whole com- munity cannot expect to prosper unless it looks after the individual interest of the most insignificant citizen the same as it does the interest of the railroad magnate or the trust king. “Au Revoir” was sung in the Wilbur Register by George W. Bisson, who, for some months, has been editor of the paper. Mr. Bisson goes to Walla Walla where he becomes the editor of the News published in that city. He will be succeeded on the Register by S. G. Shaw of Vancouver, B. C. The Register under the directorship of for- mer Editor Bisson, always had something to say and when he gets into harness on the News it too will always say something that will interest you whenever it comes on Saturday. } a: Pe ee els.

Well, Sam is of the Get-Rich Quick school and has no scruples in how he gets the money, just so he gets it. “A perfect wife is one who assures her husband that tobacco smoke improves her jace curtains,” says the Monroe Monitor- Transcript. ‘That may hold good with the husband who smokes, but the perfect wife is one who assures her husband that she has no will of her own and is ready to ac- cept every cock and bull story he tells her. The Vashon News advises a get-together during the coming winter to study the tax question and perhaps discover a remedy for the rotten system that now operates in our state. In our opinion the system is not a hundredth part as rotten as the men who operate the system. The salary attached to the office to which they struggle to be elcct- ed is lost sight of by a majority of those who get office, and in office they proceed to devise ways and means that they can sys- tematically rob the treasury and not get caught, and that accounts for the high tax- ation not only in the state of Washington, but all over the United States. Edwins S. Gill, editor of the Rainier Val- ley Record, is planning to quit the publish- ing business before March Ist next and take ‘up the duties of orcharding on a twelve-acre ranch three miles from Wenatchee. “My ranch is in one of the beautiful valleys of that section of the state, and all my neigh- bors have small holdings which make my surroundings far more pleasant than in a large city, and then my wife is delighted with the change, and I have wanted to get onto such property for many years. The valley has an electric light system and other modern conveniences. My orchards will bear for the first time next year and I mean to take life more or less easy from now on.” “If we have Snow Creek water the doc- tors will not have to advise you to boil your water next summer,” triumphantly exclaims the Leavenworth Echo in the water con- troversy going on there. But may perhaps, neighbor, When the doctors get through with you, it will be boiled by the other fel- low whose fires are said to be perpetual. The Orting Oracle has changed hands and it is now owned and operated by James R. O'Farrell and Richard Ross. Changes among the weekly publishers are becoming rather frequent of late and the question is asked, Is it due to the alleged hard times or does it mean good times have put in their appearance and the fellow with a little Persons in the Public Eye Gov. M. E. Hay is reported as having spent a night in Olympia a few days ago. Since the governor is not an attorney at law the question is, what took him to that sleepy old berg for a night? John E. Humphries, it was learned while in Olympia one day this week, has announced his candidacy for mayor of Seattle. It may be true, but it was another instance of having to go away from home to learn the news. Col. Blethen will be put on trial soon for aiding and abetting the Gill administration to corrupt the men and women of this community for the money he got out of it, and it is the concensus of opinion that he will be convicted. Jacob Furth, president of the Seattle Electric Company, informed the public over his own signature this week that, the ordinance making it obligatory for the conductors on the street cars to sell a dollar's worth of tickets to passengers, would be taken to the supreme court. He argues it will hinder and delay rapid transportation. We believe he is wrong, but let it be thrashed out in the courts and settled once and for all. But after all it seems to us a rather small matter to go to the supreme court on. Gipsy Smith, according to an estimate made by one of those who had charge of the revival meetings, saved souls for $2 per head, which is considered a bargain, and it is if the souls stay saved. P. F. Purcell, from his recent statesman like developments about the face, is making preparations to do a political stunt for himself. If he does decided to go into politics and makes as much headway in it as he has in his business, he will not be long in getting to the top. Otto A. Case is still nursing his gubernatorial boom, which has from time to time been badly punctured by the press of the state. Case is not exactly politically mad enough to be locked up on a charge, but he is very near it. George F. Cotterill is said to be "sizing up" the political situation preparatory to taking a plunge into the game next year. It will be remembered that two years ago he ran for United States senator and state senator at one and the same time and got nothing. It is now currently reported that he intends to run for mayor of Seattle in the spring and for THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN governor in September. In other words, if he does not get an office out of the muddle somewhere down the line it will not be his fault. W. A. Peters and others members of the bar of Seattle as well as lay citizens have petitioned Judge Main that the permanent disbarment of Frank B. Wiestling be modified, for they think the punishment is to severe for the alleged indiscretion. We have always argued that Frank B. Wiestling did no more than hundreds of other lawyers do and no more, perhaps, than might be laid at the door of some who are considered among the prominent lawyers of the state. Straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel always to us seemed rather an unreasonable undertaking, though there are persons, who will attempt to do so. We suggest that he be suspended for a year and let the matter go at that, but in suggesting that, we still do not believe he has ever done anything for which he should ever at any time to have been disbarred. Had he have robbed some clients as others who are now being proceeded against in the courts, it would be a different story, but to have only been guilty of threatening to make it hard for some one, if he did not work for his nomination, is no more than what is being done every year by attorneys seeking positions only they go about it in a milder form. Rev. Mark A. Matthews of the First Presbyterial Church from the pulpit declared the man who would be associated in business with a man who went on the theory, "the ends justifies the means, in doing business with his fellow man," was no better than the scoundrel that practices it, and so far as he personally was concerned he would prefer to be a pauper the balance of his life than to have no higher aims in life, all of which sounds good. Jules Reidelsheimer, a leading clothier of Seattle, celebrated the twenty-second anniversary of the establishing of his house in Seattle last Thursday, and as is his anniversary custom he cut the prices of all things in twain on that day. Jule is quite a character and some day he may be put at the head of the city government. Charles E. Shepard, who gave a campaign promise and did not live up to his promise, is now under the cloud of a superior court judgment for the amount. A man who will promise a certain amount of money for his cam- RICHARD A. HUTCHINSON, State Senator from Spokane, who will seek the Republican nomination for Lieutenant-Governor. paign and refuse to pay it because he is defeated deserves to have been defeated, and it brings out the unknown fact that such a person is wholly unworth of being elected to even a municipal dog catcher's job. Richard Winsor, for many years a leading lawyer of Seattle, but who is now on the retired roll,has been nominated by the Socialists for school director, and he is going to at least get two votes. We have always found Dick Winsor on the square and in the open and we have always found him saying and doing something in the interest of humanity, and we have never found him selfish in his actions, and if he is elected school director no better nor more active man will have served on that board. He may be a Socialist in politics and he may be endorsed by that cult, but he is a man for aye that and in our opinion will try to give the people a square deal if he is elected. HENRY B. DEWEY. The fight for the Republican nomination of representative from the second congressional district of Washington promises to be the most intensely interesting one that has ever been pulled off therein, and that is saying a good deal. The battle last year demonstrated that Stanton Warburton had many friends and the reception Jim MvNeeley is receiving in the district indicates that he, too, will have to be reconed with, but Henry B. Dewey, state superintendent of schools, who has also announced his candidacy, and from his extensive acquaintance throughout the district is certain of getting a respectable vote in every precinct in the district. If he reaches the gates of Tacoma with but a moderate vote he believes he will run so far ahead of his opponents that he will win the prize with a handsome plurality. In Tacoma hundreds of former pupils of Prof. Dewey have become voters and he feels absolutely certain than an overwhelming majority of them will be enthusiastic supporters of his candidacy. It is predicted that other favorite sons of the district will enter the contest, none of whom will do Dewey any injury, but on the other hand, help him; that is if Pierce county stands by him as he thinks she will, and as she has done in the past when he was up for election. It does look good for Dewey. The Seattle Republican is in the market for your legal publications and it will appreciate it if you will call Main 305 and give it an opportunity to figure on any notice you may have for publication. Main 305 Office 424 Epler Block. Reginald H. Thomson is no longer city engineer, which must account for the unusual heavy snowfall so early in November as is now smiling at us. For nineteen years Mr. Thomson has directed the destinies of Seattle and he has done his work well. Isaac M. Howell, secretary of state, seems to have thought it necessary to go to Spokane to announce his candidacy for secretary of state to succeed himself. With only E. Clayson against him Howell will have to go some to get the nomination. Jim Brown of the Olympia Record was defeated for councilman of Olympia last week, which is another proof of the almost impossibility of a newspaper man getting very far in politics. Wm. K. Sparks has this season taken out the most gorgeous set of scenery for his great production of, "When Knighthood Was in Flower" that has left New York City in some years. Five sets are required for the piece, and all have been prepared after most excellent descriptions of the country where the play is laid, during the time about which it is written. The properties and settings have been made from most exact copies of originals in French and English museums, and are said to be magnificent. The five sets represent Windsor Park, London, one of the most beautiful palaces of the time, the great room of the famous Bow and Strong, Bristol, the ballroom of the Palace des Tournelles, Paris, and the morning room of the Greenwich Palace, London. "When Knighthood Was In Flower will be at the Seattle Theatre all next week where it opens next Sunday with a matinee performance, .

THE CONFERENCE OF PROGRES- SIVE REPUBLICANS. (A Pool of the Press.) The recent Conference at Chicago of two hundred Progressive Republicans has called forth interesting newspaper comment. The political situation as it presents itself was thus set forth by the Cleveland “Leader”: \ There are thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of Republicans across the land who would welcome the defeat of Mr. Taft in the next National oCnvention. They are men who believe in the Republican party, its traditions and its doctrines, and who are setting seriously about the work of forcing THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN a change in party leadership that will re- store Republicanism to its place as the un- wavering champion of Progressive princi- ples. They care nothing for the outworn precedent that has dictated second-term Presidential nominations in the past. They want.a National Convention that will pro- mulgate a platform and name a candidate that will insure a continuation of the wis- dom and patriotism that have characterized so great a part of the Republican party’s history in the last sixty years. The “Providence-Journal” says that In these circumstances there is something to be said for throwing off all disguises 5 . . . it might result in giving coherency to the Progressive cause and facilitate the organization of the anti-Taft movement in the Western states. As the Kansas City “Star” says, the Chi- cago Conference was one of protest against the influences that have dominated the reg- ular organization: It represented the beliefs and aspirations of a vast number of Americans of both po- litical parties who are committed to the principle of the square deal. Such a move- ment cannot be lightly dismissed or sneered away. It is too much in earnest. It has too strong a moral backing. Yet the Boston “Transcript” thinks that nothing can be accomplished unless it proves that there is so much opposition to the President that he cannot be re-elected if renominated : Certainly it will be idle to renominate President Taft if his defeat is certain and another man might win; but to prove that and convince the party leaders of it is dif- ficult, Two United States Senators and one lone Representative took part in the Chicago gathering, says the New York “Tribune,” and explains that The Bourne League had among its mem- bers more than a dozen Senators and about twenty-five Representatives, to say nothing of three or four Governors. If there had been any real vitality in th eeffort to unite the Progressive leaders and voters behind Mr. La Follet’s candidacy, there should have been an assemlage of delegates at Chi- cago representing some real political power. On the other hand, the New York “Jour- nal of Commerce” declares that The Conference adopted some resolutions and it sounded a “keynote.” This keynote, compressed into an epigram, has a hollow sound, It is a sort of catch phrase to put upon banners in a parade: “We seek con- structive legislation, not destructive litiga- Maa?! Whatve-the aaenas nt it? Detectives have not charged. the blowing up of the Times at Los Angeles to Mrs. Vermilya, but they are only waiting to get their pay for the arrest of the McNamaras when perhaps they will rope her in. Republican victory in New York has brought one T. R. to life, who says, “I did it and I am going to do things.” He may not do things, but he certainly never fails to say things. For downright humbuggery the Star of Seattle does take the cake, but the people love to be humbugged and that explains its success. Lord Sholto Douglas was reported lost in Seattle, which, we suspect, was due to the fact that his creditors were trying to find him. Seattle seems to have an unusual amount of financial, commercial and __ political troubles this year and they must be due to the fact that a real live LORD has been running a grocery store in the community. The Seattle Republican wants your legal publications.
