President Taft has openly cham
pioned the cause of the oppressed
Jews in every country. An Indiana
kid" has invented an explosive
compared with which dynamite is a
mere toy, and which can be explod-
ed by wireless telegraphy at great
distance. A ton or two of this new
compound would be sufficient to
blow nation out of existence, and
we suggest that it would be a good
plan for the President to procure a
recipe for its manufacture, together
with all exclusive right to use it,
and then when firmly insisting that
all prosecutions of Jews shall cease
he notify the nations of the earth of
his power to either enforce his de-
mand, or erase them from the map.

The Republican and Democratic
machine members of the New York
legislature have been working in
harmony to thwart Governor Hughes
in every effort put forth by him to
impair the vitality of political party
machines, whether Republican or
Democratic. Party lines can easily
be ignored in all legislative bodies
whenever the personal interests of
the political party managers in both
parties become mutual. This fact
was clearly illustrated when suffi-
cient number of Democrats came to
the rescue of Speaker Cannon to
save the day for him in the adoption
of the House rules. The most of
those Democrats had little respect
for Cannon but when the edict went
forth from their party bosses they
simply sat up and took notice.
Party ties seldom interfere with the
mutually of interests existing be-
tween the leading managers of the
| two great political parties.
