THE SEATTLE STAR bly oy hg Bear Why Not This Ticket With a fine sense of sarcasm the conservative New York Globe, under the above heading, proposes this ticket; For President Judge Robert W. Archbald of Pennsylvania. For Vice President Judge C. H. Hanford of Washington Platform: “The judicial recall lays an ax at the root of the tree of liberty.” The Globe picks Archbald to head the ticket no doubt] because he has made a record sufficiently notorious to warrant! impeachment proceedings against himself in co They Just naturally couldn't help but pick Hanford as his running mate. You walk along the fields, and, unsecing, step upon a beetle. “Squash,” says your little son ou killed it.” “Ips only a bug,” you say, unmindful of the lical injunction to go to the ants and learn wisdom. A great Frenchman, J. H. Fabre, has for years been ing to the bugs with clear-seeing eyes and open mind, and} “ revealed things to us that have caused him to be called| the “insect's Homer.” He has told us the life stories of the gommon things, just the scavenger beetles of the fields leaf-rollers. the wild bees. And from Fabre we learn how to be real fathers and mothers. We hear a great deal about the duties of parent- hood, but nothing we do excels in devotion, nor eutranks) in skill, the annual doings of “just bugs.” | The entire life of the insect is prompted by but one] instinct, that of the guarding of the young. These “brain | less creatures,” these “low things,” turn architects and build-| the ers and diggers and construct wonderful dwellings They Become warehousemen and store supplies of food. They real / fze the need of life-giving air and build air chambers. And{ then they store their egys and go their ways, content to die.! After that, need we pat ourselves upon the ks because} of what we are doing for our children? Can't we learn a les-| son of unselfishness, of care for the future of the race, from “just bugs”?

WASHINGTON, May 2i1.—If nominated—as he expects to be—Col Roosevelt does not expect or desire the support of William Howard Taft ‘There is to be no harmony business in this coming presidential campaign if present plans are carried out. Should Taft be the nominee, he will not be supported. even in a perfunctory fashion, by Roosevelt Indeed, the Somiuation of Taft by any outrageous steam-roller methods would prob-| ebly result in a speaking campaign in which Roosevelt would oppose Taft's election in every section of the country. The division between spe- ial privilege and popular government has at last cut through both par. tes, and the two sections will never come together. There Is to be no ba, “yoy no harmony. the old days Col. Roosevelt was always “regniar.” He has said| many times in the past that he proposed to fight “within the party It fs quite certain now that, for the first time in his political life, Col Roosevelt is not bound by party regularity; that he has cut loons’ from | all traditions of partisanship, and will go the limit hope that Taft might be elected, if nominated, issipated by the prospect of Roosevelt on the at lowing against the nominee.
