he DEPRECATEs COURSE OF
TAFT MANAGERS.

Ex-senator William E. Chandler Of New
Hampshire has made public a letter adj
dressed by him to the editor of the Man.
chester Union, deprecating the course OF
the Taft managers in New Hampshire.
Mr.. Chandler says at the outset that
Messrs. Churchill. Rollins and Streeter,
the Taft leaders in the state. while dis
claiming efforts to secure instructions for
Taft by the various district conventions
and the state convention. are in fact. in
sisting that only delegates shall be chosen
who are committed to Taft.
Mr.. Chandler points out that the New
Hampshire congressional delegation is OPP
publicans of the state in advance Of the
national convention. He then goes on to
say:
I'm the conflict now before us can do
no otherwise than give what little assist
ance I can render to the congressional
delegation, In the national field I am In
favor of the Roosevelt policies with but
few exceptions) and my personal prefer
ence for the nomination is Senator La
Toilette. the radical. 1 have no personal
objections to Secretary Taft. without
whose admirable qualities the present
movement in his behalf would by reason
of its methods soon fall of its own
weight. But 1 am indignant in view of
those methods. and foresee defeat at the
polls II they are not arrested. I do not
believe a candidate forced upon the party
by the existing federal off1ceholders, big
and little, as the controlling influence, will
be elected. Mr.. Taft's majority in the
convention must be carried far higher
than even his most sanguine supporter
predicts to dispel the popular conclusion
that the power of patronage alone has
done the work.
1.-The whole south. which can give no
electoral votes to a republican. Is being
seized by the of1iceholders and the ref
erees. The republican organization there
has been already destroyed by imperial
decree. Contesting' delegations are being
chosen all over the region. and the colored
voters in the northern states are being
drawn bodily into hostility to the con-
trivers OF the monstrous injustice to the
colored battalion at Brownsville.
Labor organizations are marshaling
against Mr. Taft. do not know that
they are not acting unjustly, but to be
elected he ought to be nominated by
methods purer, more reasonable and less
practical than the most of those now In
pernicious operation.
1T would seem as If Massachusetts and
New Hampshire might most wisely be left
to send uncommitted delegates to Chicago
to meet and confer with such other I'M
committed delegates as they may find
there before casting their votes for the
candidate for President they may think
most likely to defeat Mr.. Bryan. But no:
even little New Hampshire is not to be
thus let alone. The pretty patronage Of
the state is given to Churchill and Street.
er in order to annoy and humliate the
congressional delegation. The pin prickS
are petty. but poisonous. and show the
animus and purpose. Yet the Secretary Of
War sends for our congressman and begs
for committed delegates"

IF WE ONLY KNEW.

Could we but draw back the curtains
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we should find it better,
Purer than we judged we should;
We should love each other better
II we only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motives
See the good and the bad within,
Often we should love the sinner
All the while we loathe the sin.
Could we know the powers working
To o'erthrow integrity,
We should judge each others errors
With more patient charity.
If we knew the cause and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain, g
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain,
Would the grim external roughness
Seem, | wonder, Just the same?
Should we help where now we him
der?
Should we pity where we blame?
All, we judge each other harshly,

Knowing not the source of action
Is less turbid at its source

And the golden grains of good,
Oh, we'd love each other better

We now know officially that the
late Russell Sage, by saving his
pennies and carefully placing his
dollars, left behind him when he
went hence the sum of $66,753,S0I.
That vast accumulation, however.
represents toll and privatioH on the
part of the individual. Mr. Sage got
little out of life; he was never free.
We do not mean to suggest that he
should have spent with lavish
hand for the sake of spending. But
he might easily have lived a larger
life by taking others into considera-
ton. He had the ability to accumu-
late, but he refused to let his light
so shine before men that others see
ing his good works might glorify his
father which is in heaven. 1t is
