The World says the typewriter used
was a sample owned by the l.. G..
of Henry w. Blair, lawyer of 296
Broadway. and that two stenographers
are willing to reproduce the article upon
it for comparison with the copy sold by
Brandenburg, which is now in the hands
of District Attorney Jerome.
The discovery of the alleged typewrit
ing of the article by Miss Bacon and
Miss Fearon was made, according to the
World, by Lawrence P. Dixon, who has
a detective bureau in the Marbrdge
building. at Broadway and 34th street.
Dixon called at the Times Office about
ten days ago and asked to see the origi-
nal manuscript of the article. He was
referred to Distict Attorney Jerome, in
whose hands it was, and departed say
ing he would probably have trouble in
obtaining access to 1t, as he had had
some difficulty with the district attorney
in the case of Capt. Dyer of the 18th
Regiment.

TINE CHAMBERLAIN BudABoO.

The republicans of Oregon have
nominated a candidate for United
States senate against whom the
Chamberlain bugaboo will have
no political influence. II. NJ
Cake stands for every good poiit-
zeal principle advocated by Gov
ernor Chamberlain and in add.-
ti0u IS a republican, in sympathy
with the Roosevelt policies and
ready ,1 work with the progress
siye element in congress for the
oerterment Of the country.
So there is no need for a soli-
tary republican in Oregon to vote
for George +. Chamberlain for
the senate. You have q clean,
honest, capable, fearless caudi-l
date of your own and with 40, 600
majority in the state you should
sweep Cake into office with a vic
tory that would for ever silence
party dissention and factional
strife In Oregon.
The principle of the popular
election of United States senators
has come to stay and the way TO
make Oregon permanently repub-
lican is to keep clean, honest men
in Office demand that the peoples
choice be elected and then see
that the peoples choice is a re-
publican. For such a program
the Chamberlain bugaboo will .
have no terrors.
The people of Oregon are walk !
ing hand in hand with progress. /
They nave rebuked the proffered |
enticements of the old machine
Of Portland and now let us put
the loyalty Of the machine to the
lest. Let US see if the machine
Is really and truly republican at
heart or whether it is wholly sell
ish and has simply used republi-
IAN voters in the past for selfish
ends.

machine will now support Cake

The Hitchcock Proxies.

For the good of Judge Taft and
Manager Hitchcock, it is much to be
regretted that the latter had him
self given a vote on the Republican
National Committee. That his proxy
was genuine. no one doubts in the
least. That ne intended to vote ac-
cording TO a Just view of the facts
in each contest brought before the
committee is not questioned. But
neither the authenticity of his Gre
dentials nor the honesty of his IN
tentions can satisfy the country
that his judgment in the premises
was not liable to a distinct bias
against the candidates other than
Judge Taft, or relieve every such
award made of the plausible charge
that itNvas crooked"
All this was unfortunate enough
under any circumstances. But it is
more than unfortunate in view Of
these well-lnown menaces TO the
Taft candidacy before the people;
/. That he is in many quarters
regarded as a Me Too" candidate.
?. That the "allies" are. at best,
none too anxious for his election.
3. That the vote controlled by or
gained labor is against him.
4. That the negro vote is unlikely
10 be cast for him, even in States
like Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois,
where the Republican party need it.
5. That the quiescence Of the New
York banking interests as to his
candidacy is accepted in many rural
communities as proof that he is tied
10 Wall Street.
In the face of any one of these
objections it would have better
served the Taft cause 10 have pro-
ceeded with the utmost caution.
Instead, it is mild to say that the
course of the managers has already
added to the bitterness of their
opponents within the party.

And filled US all with fear;
And when il tossed its head and ran
Straight through the pantry door,

What He Might Have Said.

"In view of the desirability of
continuing the work of the Inland
Waterways Commission"
This is the language used by the
President in announcing the action
indicated. He might have let loose
the words on the end of his pen
without doing any violence TO pub
lie opinion, and made it read
In view of the failure of Con-
gress to meet its responsibility for
continuing the work of the Inland
Waterways Commission
But he did not. He merely full
filed a purpose announced while
Congress was in session. purpose
which is entirely independent Of
any failure by Congress, and does
not in the least reduce the .discredit
which that body has earned in this
connection.

Subsidies and Art.

First proposing a statue TO Shake
speare. London has now veered to
the project TO do the greatest play
wright honor with a memorial thea
ter. y meeting to decide between
the alternatives was held at the
Lyceum Theater in that city about
two weeks ago, and the sentiment
was Overwhelmingly for the live
testimonial rather than the dead
one, so to speak.
Now America has not a first hand
interest in all this. But it has such
an interest in the remarks of Al
fred Lyttleton, NJ. p, who said, in
introducing the resolution favoring
the memorial theater:
The principle that it was unwise to
leave any art 10 commerce for develop
ment was already conceded even in this
country in the cases of the National
Gallery, the British Museum, the Royal
College of Music, public buildings, and
public parks II was amazing
that the drama was left Out-the most
universal human, fascinating. and
popular of all the arts. We exposed
this beautiful and splendid art to the
ruinous risks of competition and eX-
tended no hand 10 it. isoiating it among
the arts in this respect.
If Mr.. Lyttleton's premises are
sound. then is the United States
condemned, indeed. For it has no
national theater. no national college
of music, no national gallery Not
even all of its public buildings and
parks can be cited as rejecting the
arts of architecture and landscape
gardening. As for the theater in
America, it is not only left TO com
merce for development, but there is
no reasonable likelihood that in the
experience of any one now living it
viii ever be left to any other
agency.
The trouble is with Mr.. Lyttle-
ton, not with America. Art cannot
be grown as the rich grow orchids.
