New-York tribune., 1906-05-20

there could be formed a successful new party, be-
it is upon certain phases of political reform
that these working together, and not
upon the fundamental principles of governmental
economy.
The followers of Theodore Roosevelt are look
ing to him to point the way to further achieve
ments in the direction of reform, and wonder
what he would have Now again does the practical
politician in him appear. He knows that in legis-
lation only one thing can be accomplished at a
time. Legislators will not consider a number of
great reform measures at once Their interest at
the present time is wholly engrossed with the over
shadowng subject of railway-rate regulation and
the control OF corporations
New-York tribune., 1906-05-20
AS TO Legislation

d UT the President hopes for something more. He
IL wants definite legislation relating to campaign
contributions, which will compel the publication Of
all receipts for campaign purposes. He would also
have severe orrupt-practces act passed. While he
recognizes that national legislation cannot reach all
the evils he believes that national laws in
junction with State laws would go long way toward
correcting many of the most fragrant cases of abuse
In this same connection it is recognized by the
President that under present conditions differ
ent methods OF financing campaigns are used.
There may be an official committee which receives
and disburses funds, the receipts being entirely
legitimate and coming from those who contribute
because of their interest in party success personal
friendship for the candidates. The expenditures
Will also be legitimate and for the purpose of deray
ing the cost of headquarters, literature speakers
and a host of incidentals At the same time there
may be wheel within wheel, a close corporation
so to speak, which receives large donations for
which some return is expected if the candidates
successful. These contributions may be expended
corruptly, and may be considered a private matter
Laws directing regularly appointed committees to
make public receipts and disbursements would not
reach these side" personal, contributions and
expenditures. In other words, while law intended
for the restriction Of large campaign contributions
and the prevention of corruption would be step
in the right direction it would accomplish all
that is to be desired.
Here then is where another view of the Pres
ident regarding new politics, may be presented.
He recognizes that the will not rise higher
than its source and that corruption in politics
must be stopped largely by the people themselves,
and by those who, believing as he does and
working along the lines he has worked, will keep
among and be part OF the people, educating and
encouraging them to enter politics for principle.
He would use every effort to prevent corruption
New-York tribune., 1906-05-20

reform, but would have the Democrats give equal
attention to all matters pertaining to decent politics
and clean government. Let the who are in
terested in better things politically, who do
something in the direction of good government, do
all IN their power in their parties, and especially
in the primaries; strive to have themselves repre-
sented in conventions by men of character who will
support the best men for political offices.
While he IS party in all that pertains to the
essentials OF his party and while he recognizes that
government must be by party President Roosevelt
is not afraid of independence of party. Since he
elected President and longer ago than last year,
he has rejoiced IN the overthrow of the machines
in his party in Philadelphia and Cincinnati.
While directly he did nothing in these campaigns,
through the members of his cabinet and closest
friends he encouraged the defeat of what he believed
to be corrupt organizations within his own party
in the interest of better government. But all his
life he has reserved the right to act independently
OF party when such a departure made for good
government and seemed to offer means to accom-
Ish results. He was not ashamed to be called
bolter in the Grace campaign in New York city,
nor in the first Low campaign. Both of these men
stood for something better than offered by his
party, and they received his support.
New-York tribune., 1906-05-20
No General Platform

FTTHESE and similar questions somewhat
startling 10 the President. Only when they
are suggested him, and he realizes fully the
personal following he has IN the country and the
fact that hundreds Of thousands Of young men are
looking to him to mark the chart for the future
course IS the full responsibility Of his position
pressed upon him. While he does not shirk respon-
sibility OF any kind, Theodore Roosevelt realizes
that IS rash lav down a course OF political pro-
cedure All his life he has been an advocate OF
clean politics and better government, and foe OF
corruption and coercion by means OF which the
strong can oppress the weak But in pursuing what
may be termed ideals, he has abandoned the
practical side OF politics
Il must work with such tools as will accomplish
best results" has been his maxim l may not
accomplish all that desire; but if something to-
ward better conditions IS achieved, by methods
not wholly TO my own liking my work has not
been IN vain, IS another remark he has often
made.
The President does not believe that great reforms
can be accomplished by a number OF individuals
who lay down an abstract moral code and raise
q standard and ask people TO rally around them.
The practical side OF his natureis opposed any such
methods He has seen too many failures OF that
character since he has been public life. He
realizes that convention OF reorners there would
be too many diverse ideas 10 present platform OF
principles which would command any strength He
j sensible enough TO realize that he could draft
q code which would command the support OF al
who believe in the reforms which he advocates, and
which would at the same time secure the support
Of the people in sufficient numbers TO accomplish
results.
Theodore Roosevelt has not advocated a new poht-
ical organization He thinks reforms can be accom-
rlished IN the present political organizations. He
would not have his own party alone party OF

The New Politics

IT has been stated many times that Theodore
L. Roosevelt has created new politics .; that he
has disrupted his own party-for to him the Repub-
can party and must be the party of the ideals for
which Abraham Lincoln stood-and also the opposi-
ton; that he has driven away the conservative ee-
ment Of the Republican party (meaning the monied
class and has gathered to his support the radical
element of the Democratic party. Thereby he has
created new politics, or combined about him
the radicals OF the two great political parties.
The President does consider that this is a
charge worthy OF serious denial While it is true
that certain clements in his party elements that
belonged to that party, or came into it during the
campaigns OF 1896 and 1000 severely critical of
methods he has pursued, he does not recognize
them as the conservatives of his party Such sup
port as he has received from his party opponents
he has gratefully acknowledged; but he does
consider these men radicals, any more than he
considered the other class conservatives Nor does

wHAT rAYLoR THINKS.

c. d. Taylor. president of the Red
Top and Jumbo mining companies at
Goldfeld, made his first visit to the
Round Mountain country this week.
He returned to Goldfeld an enthusiast
in favor of this sections mining propo-
sitions. Taylor's judgment on the vari-
Gus mineral formations of Southern
Nevada has proven good and at Gold
field it has been substantiated by the
development into high grade shipping
propositions of the Jumbo and Red Top
mines. When Taylor speaks well of
a section it carries weight and he does
speak we'll of Round Mountain.
II came to Round Mountain thorough
ly convinced of its mineral possibili-
ties,' said he. but by no means pre-
pared to see such large and widely d.
versifed ore deposits. Why, there are
mountains of mill ore and it is all free
milling at that. I have never seen but
one deposit like it in all my experience
as a miner. I am not saying where
hat other point is, but I am going to
1t mighty soon now that I have sized
up the proposition here. The lodges at
Round Mountain contain millions upon
millions of dollars worth of gold ore
that is amenable to the stamps. Much
more so than is our Goldfeld rock. for
tho gold here is not associated with
TIE shines which it is there. and can
therefore be much more easily v
on the plates. 1t looks like another
Hnmcstake to me, meaning by that
statement that there are immense bod
les of low grade. free milling ores mere
which can be treated at profit.

MEMORIAL DAY.

No memorial day, or Decoration
Day, as it is more generally known,
has ever come around, since after
the institution Of the observance, more
than thirty-fve years ago, when a
better state of feeling existed between
the North and South. and between
the men who fought in the war, than
now. There has been a decided ten
dency this year to all sorts of Blue and
Gray proceedings. The Grand Army
posts ana the Confederate camps have
mixed themselves up in a most genial
way.
This does not mean that the special
value of the day, to the northerner, as
commemoration of the services and
death Of the Union soldier has lost its
fine edge On the contrary, it has
gained in zest. The soldier died for
the Union. and those who lay flowers
on his grave cannotdo so without think

ANT1-M0NopOLY LAWS.
Regulations in France Which Rigidly
Prohibit the Cornering of Neces-
Sary Commodities.

1t seems that our antitrust and mon
oply crusaders might learn something
from the methods employed in our
Sister Republic Of France. There,
capitalists are limited in their opera
tions of "cornering" commodities. This
applies particularly to those products
which are considered necessities of
life, such as grain and its products,
bread, meat, wine, vegetables, fruit,
butter, vinegar, coal, wool, silk, etc.
Any "cornering" of such articles Is a
criminal offense in France. 1t has been
so, with varying forms of penalties
dealt out, since 1893. The offense has
been made so broad and sweeping that
it now includes all persons who de-
stroy or permit to perish merchandise
of prime necessity, whether it is their
property or not.
The criminal code prohibits mani
pulations tending to bring about an
advance or fall in price that is not
warranted by the law of supply and
demand. The law does not include
tobacco, Of course, for tobacco is a
government monopoly and controlled
absolutely by 1t. The punishment met
ed out to the violators of this law con-
sists of both imprisonment and fine,
the term and amount being measured
by the magnitude of the offense. In
addition to this the offending manu-
facturer, merchant, or manipulation has
his factory or business establishment
placed under police supervision, the ex-
pense of which he pays for from two to
five years. There is no more trouble
in handling offending corporations
than individuals. Every director or
employee in a managerial capacity is
responsible. For second offense, the
penalty is so severe that it would re-
suit in the determination of almost
any establishment.

hers, whose birth has given monu.
ments and loving tribute to both liv-
ing and dead Southern heroes. Her
object in uniting the women Of the
South was to bring them together, to
pull shoulder to shoulder with the
Confederate veterans in extending all
necessary aid to the needy survivors of
the war between the States; to protect
historic places of the Confederacy; to
record the part taken by Southern
women, as we'll in untiring effort after
the war in the reconstruction Of the
South as in patient endurance Of
and patriotic devotion dur
ing the struggle; to honor the memory
of those who fell in the service of the
Confederate States; and to cherish
ties of friendship among the members
of the society.
She worked for years striving to
organize the United Daughters Of the
Confederacy before even her own
association of which she was presi-
dent would cooperate with her in call
ing a convention and inviting other
Daughters of the Confederacy to unite
in forming national association. At
this time, besides being President of the
Tennessee Daughters, she was men,
ber Of the National Conference Of
Charities and Corrections, the ational
Prisoners Association, and the National
Humane Association. and was edu-
Gated up to the point where she could
see the advantage of consolidating the
scattered forces of Confederate work
ers who were few and far apart. Her
work with the national associations
showed her the great possibilities in
concert of action, and, having time,
means, and social influence to back her
in the work, she determined to carry
out her plans, and unfinchingly fought
opposition from start to finish. The
result was that on September 10, 1894,
the Society of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy was organized at
Nashville, Tenn.
When the Tenneseeans announced
little over a month ago that they pro-
posed to have portrait of Mrs. Good
lett painted and placed in the museum
at Richmond, Va, appeals came at
once from the chapter of the States re-
questing that they might also con-
tribute toward honoring their founder.
The requests were complied with and
the portrait was unveiled at Nash
vile, Tenn, June s, 1905.

Joys in Tree Planting.

In the early spring the tree fakir is
thriving upon the fad for foreign trees
and shrubs. About the time the snow
disappears in early spring the tree
fakir takes his grubbing hoe, his prun-
ing shears and ball of twine and goes
into the woods. There he grubs up tree
sprouts-sumach, oak, alianthus, hick-
ory, beech, poplar, chestnut-or almost
These he trims and prunes and ties up
in bundles for removal to the place
where they are to be stored.
When the spring tidying up of the
home garden commences the tree fakir
makes his appearance in public. He
will show pictures of rare Japanese or
Chinese or Mexican or East Indian
shrub trees and offer to supply you
sprouts at figure that is most invit-
ing. You see an opportunity to get a
plant worth $12 for 81, and then you
think of the envy which that queer,
red-leafed, wide-spreading bush will
excite in the breast of your neighbor-
and you buy.
By and by you shout with joy and
call your wife out to see the tiny
leaves, and then you begin to brag and
look down upon your neighbors. You
invite them in to see the wonder, and
you talk learnedly of horticulture in
Japan or the East Indies.
And then your glorious tree bursts
into leaf-when you discover that you
have bought an ordinary, common,
everyday sumach or maple, or, per-
haps, a scrawny little peach tree. Then
you lie in wait for him, and you meet
with another disappointment. He
doesn't come around any more.

Granted.

At the Grant family dinner Major
General Frederick D. Grant told this
story on himself:
''I was booked to speak at a large
dinner in town and the toastmaster
felt it incumbent upon him to make
my path as smooth as possible. He
therefore spoke of my father and said
1 strongly resembled him. This had
the desired effect on the people present,
and they gave me their best attention.
Although spoke as well as could,
1 felt that everyone was disappointed
in me and 1 sat down with relief that
it was over.
"The postmaster rose and smiled
at me. Then he said to the guests:
"tDidn't tell you he was just like
his father? He can't speak worth
cent"
