Taft's Millions and RooseveIt's Popularity.

| The struggle between Foraker and Taft for Ohio't

between the president and the trust magnate, Mr.
Hartman, controversy that has much bearing <or

The Taft boosters have been relying entirely upon

The various Republican county and district leaders
have readily grasped the situation and slow in
declaring in favor of either faction, preferrng to
wait and note the effects of the exposure of the
presidents cringing appeal for campaign funds from
the corrupt corporations he has publicly pretended
to antagonize. They realize that with Roosevelt still

states as we'll. They naturally wish to avoid land

Kidding Rough Rider Roosevelt.

President Roosevelt has been cristaned "the man
under the lucky star but has the spell broken? Has
he lost his horse shoe rabbits-foot2 The wide
sweeping change in the attitude of the American
people toward him, following the publicatiIn IN of his
letter to Hartman warrants such conclusion. The
people now feel that the confidence they reposed In
him was misplaced Several times in recent years
some newspaper or prominent parsonage has ex-
pressed the opinion that the phenomnal Roosevelt
popularity the wane only to see the resource
full Rough Rider wriggle out of the difficulties en-
meshing him. becoming seemingly more popular than
ever but the present humiliating predcament seems
to be one, presenting no avenues of escape. The
evidence against him is down in black and white,
bearing his own signature. This letter, stolen from
Hartman by discharged stenographer and sold to
the New York World, was written by the president
in 1904 when it looked like New York state would be
lost to Roosevelt in the presidential contest and was
an earnest appeal the trust magnate to hasten to
Washington for an interview. Hartman complied
and within dozen hours after his return to Wall
street. raised 5000 900 including $780, 600 check of
his own, which he promptly turned over to the Re-
publican national committee corruption fund for
the debaucherY of the electorate of a great state.
Recognizing the dislike entertained for Hartman
now by the American people, President Roosevelt
promptly calls the railroad and trust magnate liar
an epthet which has served him we'll in the past,
but which falls far short of the purpose in this case
particularly when is the letter signed by Roosevelt
that is the damaging bit of news, and Mr.. Hartman
had no hand in making the letter public. All this
s'boode' fund raised by Hartman, and he was in
strumena in securing contributions other than those
mentioned above, from the large Insurance
companies and corporations then seeking special
fayors and special legislation from the government
The insurance Investigations disclosed at least part
of these illegal contributions money stolen from the
policy holders to help keep in office the now oc
cupyng the White House--ths man who secretly
solicited the "boodle" and in the breath pub
cly denounced Parker as liar, when IN a speech
the then Democratic candidate fer president called
attention to the illegal contributions 1t is easy
to call person liar but not easy to howl liar at
a letter that was signed by himself.
Judge Parker is no longer liar but Theodore
Roosevelt ia president of the United States. The
people have known the one Roosevelt, while corpora
tions knew the other--the real Roosevelt, The in
cident shows how eaeily great majority of the
American people be hoodwinked. large ma
iorty of the people disbelieyed Mr. Parker lin 1904
when he made such charges, and joined in the invec

Election in Chicago.

The recent mayoralty election in Chicago resulted
in victory of Busse republican, Mayor Dunno,
democrat. 1t is alledged by many daily papers of
the opposite party that the defeat of Mayor Dunno,
was also thrust at municipal ownership of street
railroads. To some extent this may be so, in the
contest of Chicago, but not against the principle of
the thing The strongest labor organizations in the
poyees of the street railway companies of that city
had recently settled matters of wages and hours and
agreed upon scale. They did not want that scale
disturbed and called to their assistance all the al
and thus do away with his power in bringing about
municipal ownership, they fearing all street railway
employment would then be under civil service, and
detrimental to unionism. All of the independent
political parties of the city fought Mayor Dunno, be-
cause he stuck to his party and would not al point
officers from every alledged political party ally.
Mayor Dunno is said, by conservative nonpartsan
par fers of Chicago to have made of the best
mayors, Chicago ever had. The street railway trust
companies of Chicago almot own the city, at least
they have full possession, and Mayor Dunno has at
tempted TO wrest the city from that awful grasp
The people have spoken in favor of Busse
who has promised 70 ''eontrol'' the railway trusts
but Mayor Dunno has had the experience ttat taught
him that s'control' s impossible In that city. He
believes the only solution in that city is absolute
ownership. II remains to be just how long it
will take for the people to wake up.

Initiative and Referendum.

If progress in favor of the initiative and referen
dun in representative government advances in the
next few years as it has in the past few, it will not
be long before the people will send their representa-
tives the legislatures and to congress with
definite program ofconvictons to enact into laws for
the subsequent decision Of the voters. 1t is true
that the referendum idea may be carried to foolish
extremes but within due limits it has great value.
There are undoubted and uhmistakable daily signs
that machine rule must give place to more or less
direct control by popular vote. More than twenty
states have taken action upon these methods of leg
islative reform. In few of the newer states they
already in operation, but there, as elsewhere;
they forecast complete control by the people,
in determining what laws shall be presented for con
sderaton, and that only such laws shall go into eff
feet as have accepted by the direct vote of the
people,
The restoration Of the rule of the majority in poll
tics comedies with what is taking place in the fnan-
parallel awakening to power. With increasing pub
licity questions of policy no longer be confined
to a star chamber session of few interested people,
hut must be open to the consideration of all who are
directly concerned. The initiative and referendum
In financial management have possibilities in the di-
recton of broadening the confidence and strengthen
ing the credit of business which the older system of
boards of directors has never realized.

Don't be a Wilmer.

There isn't anything in the
world more disagreeable than a
whining person, He whines if it
is hot. He whines if it is cold.
He whines at this, he whines at
that, he whines at everything.
Whine, whine, whine. 1t is just
habit he has fallen into. There
is nothing the matter with him.
1t is just had habit.
The wilmer ia generally an idle
person or lazy one. What he
needs is to be set to work-real
hard work, mental or physical
Some work that will interest him
and engage his whole attention
and he will not have time to
whine.
Get the whine out your voice or
it will stop the developement and
growth of your body. 1t will
narrow and shrink your mind. 1t
will drive away your friends; 1t
will make you unpopular. Omit
your whining; brace up; go ia
work; be something; stand for
something; fill your place in the
universe.
Instead Of whining around, ex'
citing only pity and contempt,
face ahout and make something OF
yourself, Reach to the stature OF
IA strong, ennobling manhood, to
the beauty and strength of a
superb womsnhood.
