This statement by Mr.. Chanler evoked
loud cheering" from the Trojans. but 1t Is
not calculated to satisfy voters who are
interested in the real issues of the cam
paign There is no possibility of doubling
that Gov. Hughes stands as the exponent
of law enforcement and the reform OF
such evils as the race gambling game. He
is appealing 10 the Self-respect Of the
commonwealth. and no evasive sophistries
or mouth-flling phrases will obscure the
vital question in the minds of the intel
ligent voters OF the state. Mr.. Chanler' S
sidestepping is gracefully done. but Its
very agility is calculated to make votes
for his opponent.

resenting republican corporations at that
heading the whole procession, He leads
all the rest, going ahead OF Mr.. Clark
Of Montana Mr.. Wetmore and Mr.. Fran
els of Missouri and Mr.. Belmont Mr..
Rupert and Mr. Levy Of New York. And
how comes it that Tom Johnson's name
does not appear at all? can he have
soured on the peerless leader?
Tammany is not mentioned. Blu; the
Tiger is booked for a subscription of ten
thousand dollars. and that will probably
be recorded i'm another report before cleo
ton day. And how beautiful that will be!
In a campaign in which Mr. Bryan has
fixed the limit of subscription from one
source at $4,000 the only playing of the
limit is by the most corrupt political or
ganization i'm the country. And yet the
aim is the purification of elections.
Later. after the election. We are 20 read
a detailed report from the republican COM
mttee as to its collections and disburse-
ments. But will it show the whole sums
involved i'm the Taft campaign: No more
than does this democratic report the
whole sums involved in the Bryan cam
pagn 4 quarter of million dollars is
a mere bagatelle considered with respect
to either New York. Indiana, Ohio or llli-
nois alone. How is all that money COM
ing from the saloons, the distillerfes, the
breweries and the gamblers being sub
scribed and disbursed?
This publicity business is a species OF
flim-nam. 1t is not intended to reach
and does not reach. the spot. What Is
desired is the spending of less-much less
money TO influence elections. AS mat
tiers now stand, the boodlers are as uh-
trammeled as ever in their lives.

Taft, Bryan. Roosevelt

A curious discussion is in progress as
to Mr.. Roosevelt's future. Is It possible
for him to come again in the presi-
Dental field? If so, how may it be
prevented?
Vote for Taft. say those who never
want to hear of Mr.. Roosevelt after he
leaves the White House next March.
Give Taft one term. and his record in
office, they declare. will compel an
other. That will bring us to 1916. by
which time so great change will have
come over the growing country and SO
many new men will have developed.
that talk. if any. of a former favoritS
will be in minor key. The success Of
Taft will mean Taft complexion to
things, and that complexion will pro-
foundly affect public sentiment. In
eight years of office the Ohio man. with
his thorough training, his ready grasp,
and his abundant sand will give the
country both repose and prosperity, and
establish an order of things which the
people will want continued. \ return
to Roosevelt methods will be rendered
impossible
Vote for Bryan. say these same rlen.
and If he wins you are certain to see
another try by Mr.. Roosevelt. The cry
will at once be raised by the Roosevelt
people that the Chicago convention
blundered. 1t should have renominated
the President. He was the man for the
emergency, and would certainly have
defeated Mr.. Bryan. Get ready, there
fore for 1912. Let a battle be fought
between the two men on their records.
Roosevelt's seven and a half years in
the White House being placed against
Bryans four years.
1t is suggested. therefore, that With Mr..
Bryan in the White House Mr.. Roosevelt
that year would have an easy time for
the republican nomination. Judge Taft
would not be eligible after defeat. MIR.
Fairbanks would not be strong for the
same reason. Mr.. Cannon would be too
old. Gov. Hughes might have strength,
but that is a problem. He must win this
year. or his party must in the national
contest, ii he is to remain formidable
national figure. But Mr.. Roosevelt would
present himself as the great unbeaten.
and his party in its poverty would be
glad to try him again as a vOte-getter.
This is interesting enough. but largely
fanciful SO far AZ the Bryan end Of it Is
concerned. If Mr. Bryan reaches the
presidency he will be renominated on his
record. His talk about one term may not
be insincere. but it must be accepted un-
der conditions over which when the time
came he would have no control. We
need no steer as to what that record
would be- 1t would be radical enough
to suit his most radical followers; and
Mr.. Roosevelt. for votes, would have to
bid against him on radical lines. Could
he win, with Mr.. Bryan. intrenched in
Office and he working on the outside?
Hardly. The Roosevelt record is before
the country now, and ii it fails next
month to keep Mr.. Bryan out of office, II
will not be likely TO avail to put him out
four years hence.
Judge Taft's claims are strong enough
to be considered strictly on their merits.
He has every qua! LITIGATION for the presi-
dency. and in the Office should make 4
name for himself of lasting renown.

But here is a case where We may and

is vastly suggestive.
Take the matter as illustrated by the
states: New York. the Empire state has
subscribed, In sums over 500, only some
thirty thousand dollars. Does that mark
the extent of the interest Of New York
democrats in Mr.. Bryan's campaign? Who
believes it? What could be less likely? AS

The District Budget.

Every progressive citizen of Washing
ton must agree with the Commissioners in
their policy of framing the annual esti-
mates once more upon the basis of the
actual local needs regardless of the posi-
bilty of deficit. The Commissioners have
held to their former line of argument in
making their acquisitions for funds regard
less of repeated denials by Congress. They
are right and Congress is wrong. The
Commissioners are justified by every con-
sideration of financial equity in asking
that the extraordinary expenditures for
the permanent improvement of the Dis
trict and for its equipment a model
municipality should be separated from the
current maintenance items and should be
refunded on long-term basis distinctly
defined.
Commissioner Macfarlands resume Of
the estimates printed today goes over the
ground of the local needs in manner
that should carry persuasion at the Capt.
tol. He shows how in the seven years
just passed the District has spent about
s16.UO.OtO on extra ordinary improvements.
Including the filtration plant, the new
sewage system. the abolition of grade
crossings, the installation of a union ter
ninal the construction of the District
building and the tuberculosis hospital, the
erection OF new bridges and the laying of
sewers. The Districts share of this was
sS,W0,OD one-half of which has been re-
paid. 1t is doubtful whether there has
ever been another such case of refunding
a permanent improvement debt incurred
by a municipality.
II has often been said at the Capitol
,iat this is an ideal way to meet the
needs of the District. that the capital
municipality will in very few years
have been given great permanent equip
nent without increasing the funded debt
Il dollar. This is true. but at the same
time Ii is true that meanwhile the Dis
,rict has suffered lamentably from a lack
OF tine ordinary necessities of d municipal
organization. 1T has been skimped and
put upon short commons in the matter of
police protection, fire protection. school
buildings and teachers. health office and
building inspection services. While Con-
Sress has been comparatively liberal in
providing for some Of the large works re-
quired to equip the District properly, 1t
has denied it the ordinary outfit for the
current transaction of business.
Commissioner Macfarland expresses his
belief that if all of the people of Washing
toii VIII WoTh together 10 persuade Con-
Sress of the ineduity of its course in thus
requiring the District to pay as 1t goes for
work that should be financed on a long
term basis 1t will be possible to win
GU; on the proposition. 1t is the duty OF
every pubic-spirited resident of the Dis
Irict to contribute to this end to the ex-
tent of his ability throughout the coming
session of Congress, for until the unfair,
unbusinesslike practice of requiring the
District to pay out of current tax funds
for the improvements that will chiefly
benefit posterty is discontinued Wash
ington cannot be given the organization to
which il is entitled.

Municipal Expenses.
I'M the Boston Transcript

From the Boston Transcript.
New York's terrible budget present and
prospective. which is leading to the forma-
ton of taxpayers alliances and other Or
CARNATIONS, should suggest the possibility
Of some arrangement by which. with a re-
duced rent. d proportionate share of taxes
might regularly be borne by tenants. just
as such arrangements regarding repairs
are now not uncommon, and for the same
reason to give the tenant an interest In
the welfare OF the property. Until some
way can be found for making people be-
lieve that they actually pay something to-
ward municipal and national expenses
both will go forward by leaps and bounds,
as they are now doing.

TERED from adding to his company s

still many idle cars I'm the country. These
new steel sondolas are to be ready in
November. a fact that seems significant,
in view OF certain event scheduled for

ably believes either that Mr.. Taft will be
elected or that 1t will not make much diff
ference To his road who wins.
