experimentation denies that there

which Taft is to get the Ohio delegation

OF Things. a compromise cannot be eff
rected This decision means that the
nghl in Ohio is to continue and the Re
puDlicanS of the state will be called
upon to decide whether they stand for
the politics of Roosevelt or the policies
or Foraker, Taft representing the Roose-s
Velt ideas Foraker standing for the
nltra-conservative corporation policies
and against the president.
From the standpoint of party organic
alton and as viewed by the politicians,
the compromise would have been the
wise thing to have done. If only the
ana there was no difference in the prin-
clp!es represented by each, that is true.
1t is always unfortunate to precipitate
a fractional party fight when the fight is
Tor no purpose but to crafty the am
b1tton of some aspiring political leader,
out when the difference is one of prin-
ciple there is no room for compromises.
II Foraker endorsed the ideas of the
president in regard to the control of the
corporations by the federal government
and was in harmony with the admins
tration, If he and Taft stood for the
same principles in national politics, ev-
cry Republican in the country would
hail with delight the compromise sug
gested by Cox of Cincinnati, but that is
not the case and the suggested compro-

the corporation. organs. The readiness
with which Foraker accepted Cox's sug-
gestion and the fact that Cox himself
had made such a proposition indicated
that the advantage is altogether with
Taft in Ohio Cox dislikes the seere-
tary very much. i. 1t will be remembered
that two years ago Secretary Taft made
a speech at Akron, Ohio, in which he
assailed Cox. and said that any ticket

tiles ought to- be defeated. He attacked
the machine in Ohio with great vigor
and he was accused of having brought
defeat upon the Republican state ticket
by his attack upon Cox, the party boss.

THAT BOY.
That boy is out Of school. What
are you going to do with him this
SO that he will not be ornrier
and less readysfor school next fall than
he is now? In this day town boys are
being outstripped everywhere in the
race of life by country boys. Why?
Because the country boy learns work,
struggling, patience. The
lag of his step at night, the diligent
following of ono task after the other
by some indefinable process puts into
his brain, into his character, conquer
ing power.a When in the ancient day
man was declared to earn his bread |
by the sweat of his brownie came UNI
der law thatrhas never been changed. |
The man who expects to win by some |
other law comes sooner or later to |
know he has commended against one of
the Interchangeable forces of nature. He
fails. Whoever learns and does not
learn to work adds to a final disap- |
pointment. Better have that boy
work all SUMMERS for nothing than idle
all sum nner for nothing. wages are
not always in hard cash.-CounciI1
