They have made the country Wl it is and they will develop it along nes of justice and fairness. Presi- fent Taft stands firm for the princi- ples which saved the union and which ave drupled the jwealth of the ountry and produced the most thrifty mes the country has ever Known. Corrupt leaders do not impair prin- iples If they scandalize parties; and 5 vote for comtrary principles in re- ment is taking a sorry revenge on one's seif. The following statement made by President Taftywill stand the stress of any campaign.and. the .defeat of his party withoutflosing its sense or its luster: But after we have changed all the governmental machinery so as to per- nstantaneous expression of the n constittiomal amendments, tutes, and in recall of publie what then?” Votes are mnot constitutionnl amendments are not work, referendums do mot pay rent or furnish howses, recalls do not furnish clothing, initiatives do mnot There sen mit pe agents, sread, supply employmentior relieve inequal- es of condition or of opportunity.

The emperor of Germany succeeds n keeping Great Britain nervous over t battling strength of his navy and his future designs. The Birmingham Post, in complimenting the speech of Winston Churchill which was not well recelved, says: “The new war lord s like a hawk among the pigeons in such association—a keen* imperialist among narrow, bigoted, short-sighted littla Englanders.” The keen, imperial ambition is to keep the effiviency of the British navy 60 per cent. above that of the navy of any other na- tion. Mr. Churchill, In this great speech r the increase of the navy, said mong other things: The official admission is that at any average moment we must subtract from our available fighting force from twenty-five to thirty per cent., and in the present state of the home fleet, his would leave us with only thirty- nine battle vessels against the thirty- five which Germany could tomorrow send against us. The risk is too great. The Post, commenting upon the sit- vation, had this to say, which shows their eves are upon the progressive oli our country Phough naval rength is still reckoned in Dread- noughts, the original Dreadnoughts, though they seem only a creation of vesterday, are themselves out of date, Sinee then there have been supr- Dreadnoughts, and these in turn have been displaced by yet more powerful vessels. Yet we have not, by any means, reached the limit, for in the United States there has been appoint- ed a committee to investigate the pos- sibility of building a warship so huge and threatening that war will be im- sible. The country can congratu- itself on finding out that in a ttle-nayy administration there hap- pens to be a first Jord of the admiralty, whose motto is the maintenance of ha British navy with a 60 per cent, superfority over her nearest rival” The delegates from Nebraska to the bull moose convention were obtained in violation of law. None but direct primary delegates are legal there, but a mass meeting with a hundred in at- tendance did the whole business. This is where the tail wags the dog.

The bull moose campaign is on In Kansas, and as William Allen White | is running it there is ne questien as to lts energetic management, He sent @ sample ballot to a stand-pat re- publican, John M. Woyde, who made the following suggestions te him in an. open letter: “In an open letter which you inclose with your sample ballot you ask my- selt and others for contributions to the amount of twenty-five thousand del- lars in the aggregate, to assist you in your good government movement; you also designate yourselves as the progressive republican committee; you also state as a special inducement to procure donatidns for your good gov- ernment cause that ‘We expect to file a list of investors (contributors) in this good government project with the state historical soclety, that the names of those who subscribed may alway: be upon the roll of honor of Kansas. It would seem to me as a further in- ducement to procure funds for your good government cause, you might with some propriety suggest to the people of Kansas that in the event that the full sum of twenty-five thou- sand dollars be donated by 'the horny- handed sons of tbil' in Kansas, with- out the assistance of the Steel trust, the Harvester trust, the Standard Oil company, Perkins, McCormick or Flinn, and ths Roosevelt electors are nominated on the republican ticket and elected in November, that you will also agree to place in some reputable national museum a life-size portrait of each of these Roosevelt electors so that future generations may look upon them as the greatest political mon- strosities of the present century, and as the only men who ever lived who successfully performed the hitherto unaccomplished feat of riding at full speed at the same time two horses going in opposite directions.” This is so tart that William Allen White must think he has stirred up a Tartar! A COUNTER INDICTMENT. It is rather amusing to find "those of whom the Waterbury Republican complains turning upon the editor and taunting him with the charge that in his assault upon them he is violating the very law under which he says they should be prosecuted, and threat- ening to invoke the law against him. They do not like the publicity which they give to all things scandalous and fithy which they can drag into the light. The editor of The Republican is a valiant fighter and does not propose to surrender. He says: “These three men are most notori- ously and wilfully and persistently making a business of violating section 1284 of the General Statutes of Con- necticut, and their violations are gen- erally maliciously abusive and fre- quently unspeakably obscene, If it is a breach of the peace for The Repub- lican to denounce their lawbreaking, the editor of The Republican will cheerfully go to jail for the purpose of vindicating section 1284. Scorpion, Curley and Applebaum will have to g0 down with him, and the editor of the Republican will enjoy the experi- ence and have sympathizers and call- ers, while they will not. “It is illegal and is going to be stopped, and if the arrest of the editor of The Republican, justly or unjustly, is going to put that forgotten law into righteous and rigorous enforce- ment, and free the city of Waterbury from the shame of lying, ba iting, Smut-Slime-and-Slander journalism, send along your warrant!” There {8 nothing like pluck in a good cause, and the people all over Connecticut who have been slandered and blackmailed should support The Republican in its fight. We hope The Republican will have the sympathy and support of the de- cency respecting people in all parts of Connecticut. THE ROOSEVELTIAN WAY. “The Theodore Roosevelt who has just told the negroes of the southern states that they must not try to butt into the conventions of his new party,” says the Hartford Courant, “is the same Theodore Roosevelt who ten years ago—when he appointed a negro to the collectorship of the port of Charleston—told remonstrating white men that he wouldn’'t shut the door of hope and opportunity in any worthy citizen's face because of that citizen's color. He wrote on that occasion: ‘It has been my consistent policy in ey- ery state where their numbers war- ranted it to recognize colored men of good repute and standing in making appointments to office; I am unable to see how I can legitimately be asked to make an exception for South Caro- lina’ He's also the same Colonel Roosevelt who might never have lived to appoint anybody to office but for the timely arrival on a certain Cuban hillside, fourteen years ago, of some negro regulars who knew their busi- ness.” Mr. Roosevelt is showing that to gratify his political ambitions he can be all things to all men. It appears to be much easler for him to reverse himself than to revise himself. A lit- tle while ago he only believed in the primary elected delegate, and now he is willing to be the presidential nomi- nee of a convention including hand- picked delegates sent to represent a state in violation of law. The later Roosevelt is not the man we used to admire and support, EDITORIAL NOTES. It is now thought congress cannot last more than two weeks more at longest. Happy thought for today: Many a fellow who puts on the airs of a gen- tleman knows he isn't one, The opinion is general that Taft's letter of acceptance will ever stand as evidence of his statesmanship. What worse is it to have the old parties boss ridden or to have the new party made meat for soreheads? The bull moose’s black and tan and lily white policies, north and gouth of Mason and Dion’s line, do not’ spell progress. Isn’t it a sign of progressiveness when the democrats have Wilson elected president before the vote has been cast? The first personal party ever launch- ed in America, whatever its pretext, may establish a precedent which will be deplored, Out west the inquiry s made wheth- er the women supporters of Roosevelt should be called cow moosers or bull mooserettes! The Colonel wlll share his ambl- tlons with a coterie of democrats if The run had been a record-break- er. Follansbee, Miss Geordon and two scarlet-coated huntsmen were the only ones left of the big fleld. These four pushed down a long slope in tha wake of the hounds, the horses go- ing hard and evidently far spent. Fol- lansbee's big gray pounded along be- side Miss Gordon’s mount. “Isn't it grand?’ she cried, with sparkling eyes. “I do hope Toby will hold out. I never dreamed it would be such a run as this.” Follansbee glanced critically at her mount. 4 “Toby's good for a long time yet,” he said, encouragingly. ‘“There is a nasty bit ahead. Better take it easy.” They went crashing through a growth of aiders and over a stretcil of soggy swamp. When they reached the solid ground on the other side there was but one scarlet-coated fig- ure ahead of them. Follansbee looked back. The heavy going had been too much for the other huntsman’s horse. Follansbee could see the man, dismounted now, tugging at the bridle; and even as he looked the horse sank down. A moment la- ter there was a great crash of broken timber, as the scarlet-coated rider ahead of them came to grief while trying to take a stiff jump over an “in and out” femce. The man scram- |ly. bled nimbly to his feet, waved to them that he was unburt, and Follansbee and Miss Gordan were left quite alone to follow to the death. They thundered up a rocky little hill, while golden-rod and aster nod- ded to the breeze: they galloped dowa the other side and splashed through a shallow brook; far away across the field they could see the hounds run- ning wearily, their heads close to the ground and their tongues lolling.

The One Great Question Uppermost. Mr. Editor: The one great question uppermost in the minds of the Ameri- can people is the high cost of living, its cause and remedy. It affects every one. There must be a cause for it. This being true, the only remedy is to remove the cause. There are two ways that the high cost of living can be reduced, and but two. One is to reduce the price of the commodities: the second is to increase the purchas- ing powers of the consumers. The question is, which method is the prac- tical one? Can the general level of prices of commodities be reduced without making a bad matter worse? This would not only injure the pro- ducer, but the consumer as well, for all producers are consumers, and nearly all consumers are producers. That which injures one injures the other, That would be jumping from the fry- ing pan into the fire. It is imprac- tical. How about the second? Can that be done? Let us see. Statistics tell us that the producers get only about two-fifths of what the consum- er pays. In other words, what the consumer pays $1 for, the producer gets only 40 cents. But it is impossi- ble for the producer to buy back his own product that the consumer pays a dallar for with the 40 cents he gets for producing it. Neither can he buy the consumers product for a dollar with only 40 cents. You must keep in mind that the producer is a con- sumer. It is plain, then, that the 60 cents between the 40 cents and the dollar does not go to either the pro- ducer or the consumer, but somebody gets it. If the producer received the dollar the consumer pays, he would be able to purchase the product of some other producer, who is also a consum- er. If the producer of potatoes ex- changed five dollars’ worth of them with the producer of shoes or cloth for the five dollars’ worth. it would be an even exchange, and each would have the value of his product. That would be barter. As Mr. Spaulding says, “The true functions of money by facilitating the legitimate sale of commodities.” The factor of money is necessary in production and consump- tion, and does away with the cumber- some system of barter. But should the system of money take from the producer three-fifths of what he pro- duces, and give it to a non-producer? In order, then, to reduce the cost of llving you must stop taking from the producer three-fifths of his preduct. There is but one thing that will or can do this, and that ia the publis ewner- ¢ Woodrow Wilson Wrote a Book. Mr. Editor: Yes, Governor Woodrow claim to be the only real painless CHARLES E.
