PRESIDENT ENJOYS TRIP
IN EARLY MORNING RUSH

New York, March 11--Fodmer
President Roosevelt enjoyed his first
experience as a private citizen in
Nsw York since his retirement from
the chief magistracy.
HIS vis't here was marked by
those experiences in the city's life
which are common to every New
Yorker, Delayed on the ferryboat
by fog in the committing rush
hour, Mr. Roosevelt, in compan,
with Miss Cornelia LanIgdon,
friend of Miss Ethel Roosevelt,
whom she had been visiting at
Oyster Bay, boarded a crowded sur
face car and found himself "strap
hanger.
Few people recognized the former
president as he made his way TO
the home of his brother-in-law.

do you remember the big noise
that was made early In the session
about the Democratic SENATORS be-
ing in league with Cox? That was
silly canard without tine least
shadow of truth, and II was start
ed to distract attention. of the peo-
pie from the better factional row the
Republican senators Rad among
themselves about the chalmanship
Of the senate finance committee,
which the Republttan members OF
the committee which selected the
committees gave to Coxs man Bak-
err OF Cincinnati instead Of to Bur-
tons man Rathburn, of Meigs coun-
ty.
This renewed cry or abandon the
canals is another fake of the same
kind. II Is raised to get the people
to talking about canals while death
blows are dealt to the probe resolu-
tions by committees friendly to Cox.

Same Old Bosses

Some people have been persuaded
to believe that the Republican party
in Ohio has a brand new set OF
bosses. They have been told that
these new boses are Henry A. Will
liams, chairman OF the Republican
state executive committee and w.
H. Phipps, state oil inspector and
secretary Of the Republican state ex-
ecutive committee. Phfpps has also
been touted as field marshal and as
high commissioner acf patronage in
ordinary to Senator Burton--after his
services as first lieutenant i'm the
senatorial campaign Of brother
Charles.
lill this Is a rank piece Of decdp-
'tion. 1t is intended TO fool the un-
wary. Williams and Phipps are
merely real bosses. They are called
the new bosses because the real
bosses want the people TO believe
that THEY have one out OF the boss
ing business. All the real bosses
have done is to drop Vorys as
chief OF stan and take up Williams
as office boy and Phipps as field
marshal with the additional duty Of
messenger to the legislature. Phipps
goes on the floor OF the general as
sembly to deliver messages because
the real bosses cannot go there.
The real bosses are the same old
bosses who are doing business at the
same old stand in the same old way,
with slight exception. They are
George b. Cox, Walker +. Brown
and Walter D. Guilbert. When he
was in the auditors office Guilbert
used to send for members to come
down" or he would go up stairs
and move about the lobbies of the
legislative halls with his cat-like
tread. Now that GuilbeIt IS out OF
the state house It would be indis-
Greet for him to appear in person
about the old haunts.
So the same old bosses, the real
bosses, are still engaged in "com-
mon enterprise and they now have
a "fia,d marshal' instead Of
chief of STAFF to run errands for
them.

though, and little surprise should
be expressed. The Republicans are
willing to prumise anything until
they get what they want and then
they proceed to throw sand into the
eyes OF the people until the time for
another election arrives, when they
suddenly become penitent and are
again found at the mourner's bench
of public opinion. In this regard
they are very similar to those per-
sons who are Christians only during
Lent. The difference, however lies
in the fact that with the periodical
Christian the season OF penitence
comes each year while with the Re-
publcans 1t arrives only every four
years, but the season is longer so
that when the average is struck 1t
is found that the one stands
right along side OF the either.
These Republicans who dislike the
stand which President Taft has tax.
en- in this matter may stir up a lit.
tie dust now. They may denounce
the president I'm this particular and
declare that they will not support
a man who would support Joe Can
non, but 10y the time another presl-
Dental election rolls around. they
will have dorgotten all about it and
will be the very men who will be
carrying the banners in the political
parades with their coats bedecked
with Republican badger.
p. T. Barmm spoke better than
he knew when he made that declara.
tion which has made him famous.

Canals and Probes.

Most people in Ohio will under
stand why the old cry of abandon
the canals is raised at the same
time orders were issued to kill of
all probe proposals.
That l. an old Cox trlck-to keep
die people talking about something
else while his important work Is
being done.
The crafty Cincinnati boss may
think that the people throughout the
state will forget AL about the probes
while his mouthpieces keep up a
clamor about the canals. But the
people ought to know the game by
this time.
Besides, the demand for resump-
ton OF the probe, which caused over
a quarter OF a million of dollars of
loot TO be returned to the county
treasury before Cox could get it
stopped by Injunction, is not to be
obliterated by any kind OF clamor.
1t Is written in the records of two
former sessions OF the Legislature.
1t is written in the courts which
stopped foumer probes by injunction.
III Is written in the campaigns
made by John NJ. PattiSon and Jud-
son Harmon as one of the issues on
which both were elected TO the
office OF governor.
1t is written in the message of
Governor Harmon as the very first
official recommendation made by
him TO this legislature.
It is written in the resolutions in
troduced in the house and senate by
Representative Winters and Senator
HUFFMAN. II is written even in the
whitdwashing resolution offered by
Senator Clevenger to forestau the
demand for a real investigation
1t is written indelbly in the
minds Of the people, and cannot be
rubbed out or whitewashed over. II
cannot be hOwled down by outcry
about the canals nor lodged by any
other subteriuge.
In addition to all this, It may be
no more popular to ucry abandon the
canals" than 1t would be for the
same members TO cry ''albandon the
probes. The eople know the mo-
tive back CT IT,
Cox may NOT expect the canals to
be abandoned but he demands of the
Republican majority in the legisla-
ture and expects the probe to be
abandoned
Moreover. Cox would also profit by
the abandonment Of the canals. He
tried several years ago to gobble ND
the canal from Cincinnati TO To-
ledo for his "egectric mule"
The legislature should keep the
canals and renew the probe. II It
doesn't the people will have all the
more reason for getting different
legislature next year.

property in Missouri to the value
OF $692 2,961.76. The Ohio corpora,

scarcely cover the $4,000 fine as

If the state decisions are upheld

the Standard Oil Co.. of Indiana will
be compelled to dispose of it's

The attitude Of the state toward

ANOTHER LICENSE GRANTED

No one is very greatly surprised.
You may think you were not look
ing for it, but just the same. down
in your heart you felt that it would
eventually end just that way.
Few people ever even expected that
that $29, 100000, or any part Of It
would be paid.
They may not have expected the
end to come just as Il did, or as
soon as it did, but, just the same,
they expect some loophole to be
found for the oil trust.
The course which was laid out for
the famous oil trust case was prac-
tically this. When Judge lands
imposed that record breaking fine
upon John d. Rockefeller and his
associates. ii was known that the
case would be carried to the higher
courts. Then II was expected that
some error would be found and the
cause remanded back for another
TRIAL, in which the fine would be
greatly reduced. Then this case
would be carried through the higher
courts again and sent back for an
other trial in which a still less fine
would be imposed, and 50 on until
the thing was wiped out entirely.
Merely an application of the princi-
pal which was applied by the aged
Teutcn when he amputated his dogs
tail an inch each day, so It would
not cause the dog so much suffer-
ing.

manner in which the same result
was attained, With one fell swoop
