THE TALK OF THE DAY.

The death Of David 3. Hill recalled to
newspaper man this story: One warm even
ing in the summer of Hills first term as
Governor three newspaper men, having
fled their stories in the Saratoga telegraph
office. retired for a chat to Mark COINS
store. where they were joined by a Spa
grest who in the course of conversation,
told n story which included a conversation
with the Governor. Possibly to show his
intimacy the recounted dialogue was punct-
uated with expressions like " Dave said
- You don't say So, Dave" etc. After
the man had gone, one OF the correspond
ents asked Mark, is that man relative
of TIilTs?'' and when he received negative
answer said: "Then he's iiar-the man

Dry AND GR4DY.

Our. neighbor 1.-The Evening Post IS
so hard put to it for arguments in sup
port of Mr. Dix that il is almost con-
vinced that Grady's presence on the
Democratic ticket is q reason for voting
for Dix. IF Grady becomes majority
leader Of the next Senate. he will mere
''ly be a little more openly what he mas
'been these last two sessions of the
Legislature" it remarks. Certainly.
We are willing to concede that Grady
was the leader of the Senate for the last
two years. and even longer if necessary.
Let him and his Tammany followers
take the responsibility for the scandals,
for the resistance to public opinion, for
the defeat of Hughes policies. But we
do not see how on the record thus estab-
lished Mr.. Dix is justified in not crying
to heaven in protest against having to
stand on the same ticket with Grady.
The Republican party has got rid OF
its rascals. its Aids and those who
voted for him. together with its race
track Senators. Mr.. Dix's party is re-
nominating its Grady and all the men
who stood with Grady in making the
shocking record Tammany has made in
the Legislature for years past. All Of
the Aids Senators go back. and most OF
the racetrack Senators will sit again in
the Senate. filling the chairmanships OF
its important committees. Mr.. Dix
pledges himself to purify legislative con-
ditions. Is it unreasonable 10 ask him TO
prove that his are not mere empty
words by protesting against Grady, Cui-
len. Frawley and the Sullivans:
The POST is sure that Mr.. Dix would
be opposed to a Grady leadership Of the
Senate and proves it thus:
He TMr. Dixl has been an organizer
Of the Democratic League, which aims
to rehabilitate the Democratic party,
and has been successful in considera bic
measure in so doing, precisely as Mr..
Stimson's wing of the Republican party
is bent on driving out its rascalS. How
could such a man favor Grady? The
question reflects only on its asker.
Yet this wonderful league which
throws such a light upon the Demo
cratic candidates character and inten-
tions chose Grady as its spokesman i'll
the Senate and introduced all its bills
through him.

THE FRIENDS OF T4FT.

Republicans who have the strange no.
ton that they are doing service to Mr..
Taft by opposing the Republican candi-
date for Governor in this state should
read Senator Roots able speech. Is there
any way of disputing his contention that
if the Republican party is generally VIC
torious there will be nothing 10 stop Nfr.
Taft'S denomination. while Republican
defeats would furnish an argument
against his availability as a candidate?
There have been one or two Repub-
lican defeats in Congressional elections
in the last year. unexpected, overwhelm-
ing defeats: the one in Massachusetts
for example. There the election was
kind of masked ball affair. 4 Democrat
wore q Republican mask and appeared
as the Republican candidate, and a Re
n .blican wore a Democratic mask and
stood on the Democratic ticket. And
the Democrat on the Republican ticket
was an unpopular Democrat, while the
Republican on the Democratic ticket
was a popular Republican. and the Re
publican was elected as a Democratic
Congressman. 1t would puzzle almost
uOHSSI I1du u tAlIaCL Lut
significance of that result, but it did not
puzzle those who in this state are trying
to get Republicans to carry on a similar
sort of masked ball politics and help Mr..
Taft by defeating Mr.. Tafts candidate
for Governor These false friends of Mr..
Taft were all perfectly sure that the
result in Massachusetts was a rebuke
for Mr.. Taft and that it showed wide
spread and general dissatisfaction with
his administration
And so it will ever be, whether the
Republican candidate was unwisely
chosen or whether. like Mr.. Stimson, he
is pre-eminently entitled by reason Of
his character, his talents and his record
to the support of every good citizen.
Those who now listen TO the calls Of
Democratic newspapers 10 rally in &c
fence of Taft by defeating Taft's candi-
date. if they shall be sufficiently nu-
merous. will read with chagrin in the
editorial pages Of those newspapers from
the morning after Election Day of 1910
until 1912 that the defeat I'm New York

in which the Taft administration is held

DEMOCRACY AND WORKINGlfEN

Judge Baldwin, the Democratic can
didate for Governor of Connecticut, ap-
pears TO have expressed in the case of
HOxie against the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad Company
substantially the views which Colonel
Roosevelt charged him with expressing
and TO have used language which fairly
entitled the colonel 10 call him retro
gressive. Even SO conservative legal
paper as Law Notes. was moved to
protest at the reactionary character Of
the judges opinion. TIE fellow ser
want rule" said Law Notes" ''is not
"a divinely inspired precept any more
than the conuibutory negligence and
'.aSsumDtion Of risk rules" Yet jus
tice Baldwin had shown his sympathy
with that doctrine. which is becoming
offensive to the American sense Of jus
fica. by writing Of the fellow servant
rule. which prevents an empioye from
recovering damages from his employer
for injuries received through the negli-
cence Of a fellow employe ''as a part Of
''the general American law resting upon
considerations of right and justice that
have been generally accepted by the
"peoDle OF the United States" Apollo
oistS for Judge Baldwin say that he was
bound to decide as he did by the law as
it was. Perhaps that is true. but he was
not bound TO express his satisfaction
with the law as it was.
The Republican party under the lead
ership Of Mr.. Roosevelt when he was
President. and Of Governor Hughes. has
done much to mitigate the unfairness Of
Of the employers liability law. BY the
federal statute. for example. the fellow
servant defence has been entirely abro-
gated. while in the New York law passed
last winter it has been considerably
limited in its scope. The commission
which examined into this subject found
the system existing at the time ''unwise
and unfair" "in its operation wasteful
land uncertain and productive of an
"ta gonism between workmen and EN-
"pIoveI-s." As a result of its recon-
mendations the law in this state was so
as to provide for compulsory
system of compensation for injuries in
dangerous trades. In re-
gard TO other trades the law was
changed so as to increase the working
mans chances Of recovery by modifying
those rules which Law Notes" pre-
tested were not divinely inspired. and
also provided for system of voluntary
TO be agreed upon be-
tween employer and employed. And it
u-oc franlyIv admitted nv the Vain
wright commission in its report that the
state must ultimately exercise its police
power more widely to secure justice TO
injured wOrkingmen.
Judge Baldwin's retrogressive attitude
is typical of his party. The progressive
legislation in behalf of the workingman
which has been put upon the statute
books Of the state and nation has been
the work Of the Republican party. Tam

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
MRS. kINNIcuTTs ACTIVITIES.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the many appreciative notices OF
Mrs. ktnnicutt which have appeared we
have failed TO observe three especially in
terestinS facts in regard TO her activities.
1t is not generally known that Mrs Kin
nicutt was the author Of the first bill
brought before the Legislature which made
OF the street cleaners a uniformed force
and placed the department on a similar
standing with the Police and Fire depart
ments.
Barnard College owes it's establishment
to Mrs. Kinnicutt more than to any other
woman. for although her modesty forbade
her to make any claim, she was intimate IN
the councils which led to its foundation and
development.
Mrs Kinnicutt was a firm believer in the
value of the trained and experienced wom-
an to civic life 1t was her aim to open TO
women as many appointive positions as
possible Owing largely TO her example and
influence an Increased number of positions
on boards of education. charities and cor
rection have been given to women. Such
appointments Mrs. Kinnicutt believed to be
the solution of the problem of women in
public life For the desire of women to
enter political life she had no sympathy,
and the suffrage agitation met her disap-
proval For eleven years she had been an
honored member and trusted adviser of the
New York State Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage.
To all women interested in preserving
sane and conservative womanhood the
death of Mrs. Kinnicutt is a serious loss.
while to those who had the honor and
privilege of working with her it is not only
a loss but a personal bereavement.
