It had no effect then and is having none now, but for the running down of the real sentiment in the southern states, the New York Times made inquiry of many men of high character and much political experience in those states, with the results that it finds “the re- turns do not seem to sustain any of the claims made by the progressives. The southern white men have long memories. They have no faith in the professions of Mr. Roosevelt. * * * So t goes around the circle. There is no democratic defection. The white peo- ple of the south do not trust Mr. Roosevelt, and the negroes have been dismissed by him as undesirable cit- izens. If the sentiment of the south is fairly represented by the statements printed, and we are satisfied that only the truth has been spoken and naught set down in malice, the bull moose is already dead in the south. In fact, as far as that part of the country is con- cerned, he never was alive.” What is true of his chances in the south is also true in New England and he realizes it when he says: “It has been a matter of concern to me to see s0 many of those here in New Eng- Jand who should be leaders in the new movement turn cold-heartedly from it." He has made trouble and he is teund to continue to do so, but that is all his new movement is destined to am to, despite his claims of strength and the dream of the over- throw of both the other old parties. WHITMAN'S GREAT WORK an uphill fight which District Attorney Whitman is engaged in in ru ng down the murderers of Gam- bler Rosenthal. In an apparently simple age, enougi opposition is being thrown in the way of carrying out jus- tice to balk a less persistent man than the determined official. It is a mani- festation of the power which is ex- erted for evil and the protection of certain interests of the metropolis, when such an official cannot depend ipon the police force of the city to make the arres of the prisonei and assure the safety s while waiting for hearings. Had the police desired to clean up this murder case, they could have long ago done so and the gang of gullty men been behind the bars. When the condition exists in a eity where prisoners fear to return lest the polica do away with them, it is time for a grand upheaval Those men who have such a fear are the very ones who know the power of the New York police, and when they manifest such a dread of getting into their ¢lutches they are basing that fear qn what they kmow from experience, It 16 no wonder that mass meetings are held in New York for a declaradon in behalf of better conditions. The inves- tigation of the police force and the graft system which is maintained therein cannot be avoided. The time has come when heed must be given to the appalling conditions which are allowed to exist. Whitman is accom- plishing his task so well that he is being promoted for state office, but it is apparent that the best thing New York can do is to keep him right where he ie. He is needed there, and Nor- wich takes prife in the fact that he cameo from this city. Perhaps the fact that the sale of beer fefl off over a million barrels last year and 13,000,000 gallons more ot whiskey were consumed, may to some extent account for.. present political manies. Since this democratic congress is strong to knock out civil service and other things the people believe in, they will be unable to pose as a progressive oarty NEW ENGLAND'S OPPORTUNITY. 1t would be quite natural for the in- orease in the supply of cattle for the market to cause & decrease in the price of beef, There is reported much larger shipments to the steckyards, with meny coming from Alberta for the first time in & number of years. Hope of improvement in meat prices will interest the comsumers particu- larly, for they have had a long experi- ence with high prices for which to a large extent the law of supply and de- mand is responsible. It is not this country alome which is,suffering from it. England, which is a free-trade country, and has no import duty on foodstuffs, has experienced advances in a like proportion, The problem would seem to be one of imcreasing the supply, and there is certainly reason for such a view, for the supply has not increased in ac- cordance with the growth of the coun- try amd the demand is greater than can be supplied. A writer in the Bos- ton Record sees in this a problem which New England must wrestle with, and in urging the return to the farm holds that the west will no long- er supply the beef and pork, except at prohibitive pricess and that the supply must come from New England itsei Theré was a time when a large amount of beef and pork was raised in New England, and it can be done today if the young man will realize his opportunitie: Farmers of today are jeaving everything to the west to pro- duce. Greater interest in the advan- tages of New England is needed, and the realization that millions of dollars which are now sent west could be re- tained right here in New England and bandsome profits made off the land, coupled with the reduction of prices. ANYTHING FOR VOTES. The third-termer evidently carries | the impression that because he says so the people have no right to think or believe otherwise. This has been char- acteristic of the man. He sets himself up as the one chief authority and de- spite the many pitfalls into which he lunges, the statements he makes in his great moral crusade, and his past record in similar circumstances, he expects a tumultuous flocking to his banner. Needless to say he is disap- pointed. He is offering notbing new for the comsideration of the people, but he has a fascinating way of set- ting forth what he does say, and there- in gets before the people a personal word-picture of his own g.o:ious ac- complishments and views, which sounds good, but will bear investigation In his recent address in Providence he took the opportunity of flaving the bosses, and declared that Rhode lsland has suffered from bess politics in the most extreme form of development. That statement cannot be disputed, but it is his own personal attitude towards that very same bossism in that very same lit{le state, which he failed to mention. The Providence Journal says: “When the Providence Journal appealed to him in 1906 not to permit his name to be used to uphold the rot- ten Brayton machine in this state he trimmed like a ward politician and said he must stand by his party or it would weaken his influence, The Jour- nal has correspondence in its office to prove th Yet he now asks for Rhode Island votes as a foe of bosses!” SUPPRESSING NEEDLESS NOISE. It is by no means strange that the big cities are deeply interested in the decrease of unnecessary noise, and the assemblage of 500 prominent physi- cians at the International Otological congress in Boston is lending its aid in the suppression of the evil, which, to a certain degree, is to be found inm all cities, whether large or small. It is, of course, possible to get such a hobby on the elimination of noise that it gets to be a joke, and again there is such a thing as giving in too much to the nerves, but with the constantly in- creasing bedlam in the streets, to which the automobile has contributed greatly, there can with profit be a united action for its elimination to a reasonable degree. No well person, to say nothing of the sick and nervous, many of whom jump at the rattle of a paper, welcomes the shrill notes incident to railway whis- tles, the incessant clanging of bells, and the inexcusable use of the muffier cut-out in the racing of automobiles. There is reason in the desire that the unreasonable noises should be stopped, and certainly the auto comes in for much attention in this regard. The movement is only in its infancy, but needs organized action to make it suc- cessful. There are, of course, the early milk wagon, the yelling hucksters, the street pianos and other noise makers of the large cities to annoy, but it must be recognized that while the suppression of an unnecessary noise would be a| highly meritoriois thing, yet there are some which it is well for the people 1o accusto mthemselves to, and it is apparent that the anti-noise crusade must be conducted reasonably and not at the sacrifice of vublfl‘ welfare. EDlTOflIAL NOTES The action of congress is the best kind of campaign matérial for the president. The return of the side \\m\}u‘r\ to fashion will reduce the strain on the safety razor blades. American legislators will learn with envy that the English house of com- mons has adjourned. Vermont, with field for the governorship, certainly looks new-fashioned. There does not promise to be too much Johnson in the campaign unless Jack Johnson gets into it. The only trouble with Teddy feems to be when he sars a thing is so, it is 0, if it never has happened. No real bull moose will feel compli- mented when he sees his head in such company on a bull moose banner., The number of murders taking place in New York shows that the electric chair is not a first class intimidator, The birth of a son in the Astor fam- ily didn’t add any chances to the com- ing dukes and lords across the pond. The bull moose campaign banners are being gotten out first, and they look as if they were made in a hurry. Congress seems to delight in run- ning against vetoes. Their attitude is like stumbling over chairs in tne day- time. After the Colomel has made this a trustless country, who is the man who fails going to blame for his misfor- tune? The average woman can do more business candidates in the | e e “My Dear Mr, Post: The which I am sending you with this let- ter contains the letters and gifts of various kinds that you have sent me during the last four months. 1 feel reasonably sure that I am returning everything which you have given me except the photegraph of yourself taken last summer when we were all at the camp. 1 am sorry to say I cannot find that photograph.

Man has been calied the ruler sim- ply because he is bigger and stronger. As well call a horse the ruler of his driver! I have noticed in France, which is a wise country, a woman always keeps the books and the cash box in every shop, even in every restaurant and drinking place. Certain popular notions are untrue. Ome of these is that woman has no ty. Exactly the contrary is true. '!‘he average man fails in business. Nay, they say that for every successful gro- cer or lawyer there are ten failures. Whereas, the average woman has a brain just suited for affairs. The woman is strietly busmess. The incompetent, empty-headed wom- en you know are sg merely because of their training; they have always been kept in restraint and ignorance. But women are slowly but surely in- vading the business world; particu- larly as to detail work. s A woman is distinetly superior to man in managing an office, attending to routine and keeping affairs in ship- shape. Mgm is the adventurer. He does big things, plays havoc, sueceeds, fails and all that. A woman manages, stunts with a heirpin than a manan with a pipe-wrench and three screw- drivers. The women of Dayton, O, in plan- ning a campaign to eliminate gossip, are undertaking a movement which is worthy of great expansion. Millionaire Perkins wants a better country for his children that he and his confreres have been able to make, 50 he has joined Roosevelt. The spellbinder is not the only at- traction of the campaign. The party that gets out the most brass bands is likely to have the banner crowd. The Colonel thinks when he turns against & man he withers, then he speaks of him as “a dead His “dead issues” are usually better men! ‘When Andrew Johnson swung around the circle he held in derision for it, but now an ex-president sets up a dual circle campaign which elicits praise. Senator Brandegee is on the right side of the Panama teoll bill contro- versy. Congress should be slow in doing what the country will be asham- ed of. A remedy for sunburn would have proved a more popular topic for Roosevelt at Revere beach than Yry- ing to interest people at the shore in the courts This is believed to be the best all- around crop vear the country has ever known and the trend seems to be to make it the cheapest, if politics 1s equal to the task. Happy thought for today: The home-made pie that is scorched makes a man suspicious that the suffragettes have been having an argument over the backyard fence. If it is true the American people smoke eleven billion cigarettes a year, it is no wonder the doctors think we need a national medical bureau that shall be compelling. “A western squash-pie fiend says: “Squash is not a vegetable, but a poem, but onme has to have a soul to appreciate it!” Any Englishman can tell him it is a marrow!
