LEWIS MAY STAY ON.
Believed That Committee Will
Decide for Him.

w. S. Bergundthal denies the report
of the Hughes organ to the effect that
he has been doing all in his power to
force the city central committee to
throw Frank Lewis off the ticket
The only statement have ever made
about it" said Mr.. Bergundthal today,
is that if Nj. Lewis is q Democrat he
should not be allowed to appear on
Republican ticket A man with wide
reputation for being a Democrat might
tend to make the Democratic voters of
the city think that Democrats are in
VIted to participate In the kepublcan
primaries. I am willing to accept Mr..
Lewis statement that he has voted the
Republican ticket straight. As far as
my influence with the Republican city
central committee is concerned, 1t does
not amount to anything ! only know
of four Of my friends on that commit
tee, and three OF those are candidates
for reelection and can't do anything to
help me without preJudiclng their in
terests
The Hughes people are trying to get
out from under the movement to throw
Lewis off the ticket They control the
committee and all the offices. but they
are trying now to dodge the Lewis is
sue. They hear a rumblins in the air
Frank Snyder, the head manager o.
the Hughes campaign, who is said to be-
slated for chief of police in case Hughes
is elected said today: I have not
talked to Hughes about the Lewis mat
ter since he was sick. but personally I
am opposed to throwing Lewis off the
ticket. His statement made in Thurs
day nights State Journal clears up his
record. and I believe that there viii be
no opposition to him in the committee.
The committee was principally mad be
cause Of the letter which Mr.. Lewis
wrote"
Chairman Simon of the City Central
committee, and also secretary Of the
Hughes central committee, says. II
don't think the committee win throw
Lewis off. The committee which was
appointed to interview Mr.. Lewis has
seen him. and he has promised to come
before the central committee meeting
Saturday night and make a sta tement-"
1t is said that BIr. Lewis viii be re-
euired to make an AFFIDAVIT to the
statement that he has voted the Repub-
lican national state county and city
tickets ever sine 1926.

Principle in the Crum Case.
New York Tribune:
The president has taken the right
stand in refusing to withdraw the nom
nation Of DR.. Crum to be collector Of
the port of Charleston. 1t was doubt
less. an amiable desire to save his feel
ings on the part of senators which led
them to shrink from putting condrnaa-
ton to vote. but the president cam
not well have any feelings which would
be more hurt by rejection than by his
own retreat When a nomination has
been made under a misrepresentation it
is doubtless pleasant for a president 10
correct a mistake rather than have on
record the rejection Of a man for unfit
ness. But President Roosevelt knew
what he was about when he sent in the
name of DR. Crum. Nothing has oe-
CURED to make him question the per
sonal fitness of DR.. Crum for Office or
the orooriety of the policy followed in
selecting him. There is not the slightest
reason for any change on his part.

CONVICT ROAD MAKERS.

The question Of using convict labor
in road building has arisen in Michigan.
The Detroit Journal while conceding
certain merits to the system. also finds
objections more or less serious from its
standpoint. Under the caption Not 50
Simple the Journal says.
This state viii not use its convicts in
road building without giving the pro-
posal more consideration than did the
road convention recently held here. It
Is easy to say that we have bad roads
and "a lack of free labor that cares to
work to make them better: that the
lails are fun of men who are better
Oft if they work than if they do not,
and that they should work at some
thing that viii not bring them into
competition with free labor.
THAT is one side to the matter. and
the obvious side The other comes from
experience. and here we must 20 else
where. In the southern states convicts
are used on the roads. and with some
measure Of success. as may be Inferred
from the fact that the system is con-
tinued year after year. But Michigan
presents a problem not like that Of any
southern state. The climatic difference
calls for consideration Our convicts
could not be worked on the public roads
out Of doors more than six months
yearly Road building is here today
and further along tomorrow. Convict
camps must be movable, or the convicts
must be walked or carried long dis
tances.
In any case the opportunities for
abuses are present. and it viii be
strange if they are not accepted. we
have to consider. too. the moral effect
on the young men in convict clothes
treated more or less like slaves. Now
and then there viii be a break for lib
erty. and shooting by the guards. Es-
Gaping convicts viii raid a neighbor-
hood, and temporarily make travel To-
cally unsafe for women and children
I'm the south the labor forced to the
roads is almost wholly from the lowest
class. Here road making convict gangs
would be recruited from not one class
alone but from all classes. if the law
were impartially administered. We have
10 consider. too. whether character can
be reformed under the constant ex-
posture Of convicted men to the view Of

Providence Journal:
1T is natural that American citizens
of German birth or descent should be
annoyed by the manifestation in this
country Of a feeling hostile to Germany
and annoyed by the suggestion that this
feeling may lead to war Rut wnen they

ism they are mistaken. Sensational
writer's for the Sress have much to an
swer for, but to this Indictment they
can fa irly plead not guilty. NO doubt
the relations of Germany and the United
States have been somewhat enbittered
by press comments on both sides But
the newspa pers did not create the stu
alton. They did not. as some persons
contend, drive us into war with Spain;
the situation which produced war was
there without their aid. and they can
not drive us into war with Germany
unless the acts of the German govern.
ment create a difficulty that can be
solved in no other way. On the whole
the Cserman-AmericaDs who are 50
indignant at the thought of war have
done as much as anybody to recommend
it. Their attitude in 1898 can hardly
have been forgotten At that time their
comments upon the government at
Washington well nigh equalled in vim
dictiveness those of the Germans at
home Probably some years must pass
yet before references to ancient friend
ship can be regarded as other than idle
phrases. But we are not seeking quar-
rais.

IFrom the Pittsburg Dispatch.l
There is certainly a political contrast
well worth studying in the attitude OF
the managing politicians toward the
president. six months ago and that
which they hold at present Then they
proclaimed aloud his virtue integrity
and splendid leadership. Now they pri-
vately shake their heads and indus
triously keep the measures which he
has indicated as necessary in the back
ground.
Let it be observed. too. that it is not
President Roosevelt who has changed
1t was exactly his outspoken declara-
lions that there must be effective re-
straint upon trusts which practice ex-
tortion and that Cuba must have re-
eiprocaI trade with the United States
which evoked their approval His
speeches throughout the east so i'm
pressed them that there was a universal
call for him to go throughout the west
which he was doing until the injury to
his leg compelled him to remain quiet.
Now the president wishes to have those
pledges carried out, and political astute-
ness charges him with impulsiveness
and resolves itself into pullbackism and
obstructionism.
Herein we discover the vital difference
between the president and the others.
He believes in fulfilling the pledges.
They think that when the election has
been Won on certain pledges the proper
thing to do. especially if the pledges be
obnoxious to corporate powers. is to
forget them until the time comes to
produce a new lot for the next cam
paign.
