ROOSEVELT AND
- PRESIDENT TAFT
HOLD A CONFERENCE
Discuss Matters Relating to the Acute
Political Situation Now Reported in
New York State.

dency of 1912 was not discussed.
The president is willing to run
again if he is renominated but in
tends to leave that to his friends.
He is not hunting delegates. The
colonel expressed himself as graft
fled at "a very pleasant interview"
and ''an entirely satisfactory talk. !"
He reiterated with emphasis that
he will not run for governor, and
If the convention stampeded for
him he will refuse the nomination.
In addition to Taft and Roose-
velt the other members of the con-
ference included Griscom, Otto
Barnard and Secretary Norton. To-
days conference. it is believed, was
the source of much qualification to
Taft and his friends. That his aid
should be sought this time and in
the manner it was following the
somewhat recent attitude of almost
completely ignoring his administra-
tion of existence, probably gave
the president much satisfaction.
| The eX7president was thoroughly
drenched by waves breaking over
| the side of the motor boat coming
| across the sound The colonel after
ward told Taft the situation seemed
to be serious for a time.

FITTING POSTOFFICE
DESTROYED BY FIRE

The postoffice at Fitting was
burned to tae ground last Thursday
night and the building and a major
portion of the contents were a total
loss. The fire started in the attic
of the building and when it was
discovered it had gained such con-
troll that all efforts to save the
building were futile. How the fire
started is not known, but it is be-
lieved to have started from a candle
which had been left by some one
of the men who had been using
the room as sleeping quarter.
The building which was consum-
ed by the blaze was owned by the
Federal Mines company and besides
being used for the postoffice, por-
ton was used for dwelling. Be
sides few stamps and envelopes
and few personal effects, the loss
was total and viii run into several
hundred dollars. The building was
new structure and had only been
occupied a few months
This is the second time the Fit
ting postofice has been destroyed
by fire during the past year and a
half. On April OF 1909 a fire
broke out In the building and the
structure and the entire contents OF
the postofIice were total loss.

The people do not rule when q
federal judge happens to have a
different opinion. In Oklahoma
the people voted in their state con-
stitution that they would forever
bar liquor from their state, and the
transportation companies were
compelled by the laws of Oklahoma
not to carry liqnor into the state.
The railroad companies were will
ing to comply with the law, but
the brewers and distillers were
not, SO the latter carried the mat
ter before a federal Judge. who
ruled that the railroad companies
must receive liquor packages for
delivery within the state of Okla
homa. The federal Judge is one
of the handiest institutions for over
coming the will of the people that
was ever devised.

The result of the election last
week in the Sixth Congressional
District ought to be sufficient to
cause the Republican party to do
some serious thinking as to what
it portends. A number Of ex-
plantations have been offered as to
why the Democrats made such
a big gain and the Republicans had
such heavy slump. The issues
on which the contest was fought
were clearly national, and it is
therefore of little use to assume
that local conditions had anything
to do with the result. The Demo,
Gratis contend that it was the failure
of the Republican party to carry
out its tariff revision promises that
did it. Perhaps, but any party
that goes to cutting the protective
tariff and therefore the wages of
labor will also be wondering about
what has become of its votes when
they count up the returns of an
election after it has been done.
The fact of the matter is, to our
mind, that the people are clearly
restive, and they may be casting
about through the ballot box to
find relief from this restiveness.
They may decide in the next gen
eral election to turn the tide in
favor of the Democrats and give
that party a chance TO supply the
sedative medium. They did it
once before, in 1892, and it should
still be remembered, if it is not,
that the dose almost killed the pa
tient. Anyway he did not get over
it until a protective tariff was re.
stored. The high cost of living is
not due to the tariff, that argument
will not hold outside of politics;
but that the high cost of living had
something to do with the result in
the Sixth district, is perfectly ten.
able, and that is what the voters
wanted to get back at, 80 they cast
their ballots for the Democratic
candidate. How that is to remedy
the condition the voters probably
did not stop to think any more
than they did in 1892, when they
gave the country the wrong dose

Have yon ever noticed that when
a great railroad corporation pro-
jects extensions or large improve.
ments in it's lines, it never carries
out its plans with the profits of
the road? Such is the fact in al
most every instance of railroad i'm
provement. The cost is always
covered by bond issue, with the
result that the traffic is loaded so
much for sinking fund and SO much
for interest. In other words the
traffic stands the cost. The profits
of the business, whatever they may
be, go into the pockets of the
stockholders. This is probably
the reason why the Goulds, Hills,
Harrimans, etc., count their wealth
by the hundreds of millions.
