On the Stump.

New York Sun.
Mr.. Taft finds the ennm of porch
campaigning a sufficient reason for the
dash into the open which is to begin
two weeks from yesterday. He can
conceive of nothing more depressing
than to be denied active participation
In the campaign and to be kept quietly
in one place, depending on the neces-
sarfly fragmentary reports that come
IN from time TO time" Quiet to quick
bosoms is a hell, but with golf and fish
ing and an occasional speech Mr.. Taft
might be tolerably happy, one would
think. 1t has been decided otherwise.
II may be more "dignified" to keep out
.of the hurlyburly and such was the
original plan of his managers, but
strong necessity. the unsleeping Hitch
cock and Mr. Taft's aversion to repose
are now to send him on the road Mr.
Bryan smiles all over and is convinced
that Mr.. Taft goes because he has to
and the middle West has a Organized
look even in Republican eyes. and so
Mr.. Taft must go and save it if he can
1t is a little early for the regular
campaign scare. and the unregenerate
condition Of the middle West is no dis
covery. The Republicans have got a
hard job there. apparently, and here
In New York the bosses have been CO.
quoting and inessing as If the renom-
ination OF Hughes were not indispen-
sable TO the salvation of Tafts bacon.
In few weeks there will be more light
in the woods, and we shah know
whether a lot OF Republican voters will
take TO them or not.
Meanwhile Mr.. Tafts stumping NAV
serve to stir up the numb and inert
canvass. He is a commonplace speaker
with no spark OF the kindling and com
lmunicatice Imagination and ardor of
the orator. Mr. Bryan has all the ad-
vantage in temperament, I'm experience,
in knowledge of the psychology of
crowds" in plausible and dextrous
presentation-and invention. A vet
eran sophist and fallacy maker, a
trained hunter of applause, a slSilful
suggester Of falsities no friend to
inconvenient truth. Mr.. Bryan plays
flawlessly on the prejudice, the passion
and the ignorance of crowds
Mr.. Taft is effective in other ways.
Something large. generous, sincere.
truthful, honest, able. is conveyed by
his personality. his manner. The crowd
like him. 1t respects him. 1t believes
he knows what he is talking about and
that he BELIEVES It, without any gift
Of beauty or saliency Of expression. he
has the great art Of having no art, Of
impressing his hearers with his candor.
his knowledge of the subject. He per-
suades without humbui He con-
vinces by fair arguments. Finally. he
irradiates friendliness and he absorbs
1t back from the audience without
oratory he does the task Of the orator.
He carries the audience with him, and
this is no momentary triumph. He Of
lofty character singular intellectual
distinction and personal charm
So the real advantage in this war of
the stump is likely to be with Mr.. Taft,
not Mr.. Bryan.

TEST VOTE ON HUGHES.

iIE so-called Hughes test vote in few Of
\ the primary districts of New York city
yesterday showed the power of political ma
chimes and the great strength OF the BOSSES The
New York bosses, great and small, have been de-
clarng that Hughes shall not be nominated
again and that the sentiment Of the voters is
against him. They proved yesterday that this is
true in certain of the districts where boss politics
is the only kind of politics.
In lower east side district the governor was
defeated by vote Of almost three to one and
his defeat there was attributed to his veto of the
"hve-cent fare to Coney Island law" In FIVE dis
tricts, including the upper part of the city, the
governor won, but not by a great majority
Based upon the vote shown in the districts
where the primaries were held, the governor in
the State convention would have q out of the
I87 delegates from Manhattan and the Bronx In
one Of the districts controlled by Herbert Par
sons the county chairman, the vote for Hughes
was 90 and against him 800 And in another dis
trict, where one OF the governors friends is the
leader, the vote was almost switched about the
governor securing a large majority. The people
seem to have voted according to the wishes Of
the leadl-s
In the baotng, however, it must be remem-
bered that only the enrolled voters, the strictly
organization men, were permitted to express
their opinions. The primaries were not like those
we have in Delaware, at which men of both par
ties vote often simply for the fun of voting.
In New York there is large independent ele-
ment that of course was not felt in the primaries
OF Yesterday The governor is particularly
strong among the independents. and the latter
are able 70 defeat or to elect any candidate for
office in New York State
The result Of the primaries may encourage the
bosses, big and little. in New York. who have
been opposing Hughes for denomination. to con-
tinue their opposition. Evidently President
Roosevelt will have to wave the bic stick with
unwonted fury if he is TO bring about the renam-
ing OF Hughes something that is demanded not
only by the independent element Of New York
State but by Republicans in many parts of the
country who have regarded the fight on Hughes
SIMPLY as night waged against him by the gam
blers and race track men.

Personal Force.

Notwithstanding the lesson one gets

influence Of teacher goes a great
way in determining the character of a

no teacher will be misled away from
that view. In the formative period OF
a child's life. personal association is a
great force-greater than anything
else in school work II seems impos-

II is really the first thing to look to

THEATRICAL

"Our New Minister" which is playing
at the Opera House. is a play that
breaches the doctrine of mercy
and brotherhood-Chr versus
"churchanity." There is much good in
this play. 1t is a play with strong
dramatic climaxes. while it possesses
broad vein of enjoyable comedy
which is never out of harmony with the
general theme Of the play. The Pre-
senting company is capable one.
Those who contributed especially to the
presentation Of the drama are David
Wall. as the minister: w. H. Harri-
man. as Lem Ransom: John p. Brawn.
as "Skeezicks:" Ethel Ferguson. as
Nan Ransom; Mrs. Washburn. as Mrs
Tattleby. and Joseph Conyers. as
Darius Startle. the constable of Hards-
cradle. Mr.. Conyers has made of this
character one that stands out from the
