The Lansing Republican says:

no LdnSlus nepuUllCdu says
During the session of 1909, Rep. J. j.
Whelan of Shiawassee, got after the
Marquette prison, the representative
making charges which he failed to
follow up against Warden Russell and
creating considerable turmoil, owing
to the fact that Whelan was safely
barricaded behind his constitutional
privilege and Russell could not get at
him. Now when Whelan is seeking a
denomination, the Marquette Mining
Journal, Warden Russells paper, re-
turns the compliment with slam at
Whelan which probably relieves the
warden of some of the stored up wrath.
Although many miles from Shiawassee,
the Journal advises the county to pick
some one else for representative than
Whelan. Some of the choice bonmots
to be found in the editorial are listed as
follows, "A fussy nonentity;" IAN
inordinate egotism, based mainly ON
capacity to grind our cheap doggerel
Unfortunately; "a 'Pote of the Podunk
school" The Journal also quotes from
Whelan's platform the following plank:
Il stand for dealing out justice without
fear or favoritism to those who betray
the public in public positions. Where
is justice today? Answer: She is some
where in the attic, hoodwinked" It's
a wonder the Journal did not say-.but
what's the use.

Oyster Bay, N. ", July 1.-THE de-
parture OF Gov. Hughes from Saga
more Hill after political conference
with Col. Roosevelt, which is certain
to have an important bearing on the
state situation in New. York this fall,
was followed by the appearance of
Timothy l.. Woodruff, chairman Of the
Republican State committee. One Of
several prominent state politicians
whom the colonel has seen in the past
two days, Mr.. Woodruff came to tell
his side of the story. His view point
is not the same as that of the gov
ernor, according to the colonel. In
the course of an interview Col Roose-
welt said that he is seeing both sides
This is true, not only in regard to the
state situation, but regarding the ma
tional situation. The colonel is cauti-
ously feeling his way and has not
made up his mind as to what stand he
will take, either in the state or to-
wards the administration. While there
have been prepCnderance of insur-
gents fiocking to tie hill. Mr.. ROose-
welt has mixed the others in so as to
puzzle even the wisest.
Neither Gov. Hughes nor Col. Roose-
welt said anything positive concerning
their conference. Both admitted that
they discussed J o'itics. but the colonel
said himself that it was only natural
in relation to TIE gubernatoral nom
nation.
Mr.. Roosevelt caid he had delight
FIJI visit with Gov. Hughes. They
falked about many things that they
heve wanted to discuss for long, long
time, but net fer publication yet. They
went ever the whole political business
from beginning to erd. .
did you discuss the names of can
d,dates with Gov. Hughes?" the col
mel was asked
almost every visitor brings the
name of at least one candidate" he re-
rlied evasively, "and many of them are
very worthy men,"
What part are you going to have in
the selection Of a candidate?"
II don't know whether l shall have
sny hand in selecting a governor. My
POSITION in regard to the governorship
this fall" he said, "is that we must
find the man best fitted for the office
and most acceptable to the rank and
file of the Republican party and to the
independent voters" The colonel
added: "And / intend to do every
thing in my power to see that such
man is elected"

TAFT'S AMBITION.
Preferred Supreme Bench to Presi-
dency, Says Senator CuIiom.

dency, Says Senator Cullom.
Senator Cullom of Illinois is being
quoted as having said that William III.
Taft would have retired from the cam
paign to secure his nomination as pres
ident and would have accepted place
on the supreme court bench, thus re-
aliZing the ambition of his life, if
Chief Justice Fuller had only retired.
Here is the statement attributed to
Senator Cullom:
within month of his nomination
for the presidency Mr.. Taft would
have retired from the contest and gone
upon the supreme bench had Mr.. Full
Ter retired. l personally know that in
the height of the excitement of the
campaign leading up to the conven-
ton Mr.. Taft's aspirations were not
affected. Mr.. Roosevelt would. 1 have
reason to believe, have acquiesced had
the chief justiceship been vacated
Some facts within my personal knowl-
edge which / am not ut liberty ut this
time to state warrant the assertion
that practically to the eve of his NOM
ination for the presidency Mr.. Taft
had his eye focused on the supreme
court bench. 1t may seem to many a
strange choice, but because of his pc
culiar temperament and training Mr..
Taft up to the time Of being made
the standard bearer of his party would
have retired from the field with alac-
rity and pleasure could he have be-
come chief justice of the United States
supreme court"

GORDON IN THE WRONG PEW
Mississippi Senator's Experience In
Barber Shop

Mississippi Senator's Experience In
Barber Shop.
Colonel james Gordon. Mississippi's
new senator, has learned that there
are two barber shops III the senate
wing Of the capitol building at Wash
ington. This information cost him q
new silver dollar. The Mississipplan
has long hair and beard. and there
are times when it Is worth a dollar
TO have barber give him proper at
tention. In the main basement cor
ridor leading to the house wing there
is large barber shop for the exclu.
sive use of senators. No charge is
made. for the BARRIERS are paid by the
government, being carried OH the rolls
as messengers or laborers. On the
floor below, I'm the subbasement, there
Is barber shop, patronized by capitol
employees, where the usual charges
are exacted for shaves, hair cuts, etc.
Senator Gordon went to the capitol
the other day looking for a barber
shop. He accosted a new policeman,
uO bud VI TIC luCI llldL MI,
Gordon was senator. He directed
the senator to the shop used by the
employees. When Mr.. Gordon had
been properly trimmed up he ten
dered the obsequious negro a silver
dollar. He thought he was in the
shop used by, senators, and his dollar
was in the nature Of a first call tip
The barber offered him the change.
but with a courtly wave Of his hand
Colonel Gordon indicated that he de-
sired nothing back.
"I'm a SENATOR" he said.
"Is you all?" queried the startled
but doubtful barber.
"Yes;tI may not look like a senator
lbutefi amvone just the same" replied
Colonel Gordon as he buttoned- his
frock coat and left the sbopoH
Later one of Senator Gordon's
friends told him Of his mistake. The
senator said he had got what he went
after, and his friend added, Eyes, you
were in the right church, but the
wrong pew"

The Presi dent and Labor.

| When it was seen that conflict be-
tween the Senate and the House over
the labor amendment which Represen-
tative Hughes had drafted on the sun
dry civil bill was inevitable there were
some Of President Taft's friends and ad-
mirers who earnestly hoped he would
not be compelled to take stand on the
question, but that the Senate would
prove strong enough and determined
enough to effect the elimination of the
Objectionable provision without his
assistance. This hope was expressed to
The President, but it did not appeal to
him. He could see no reason why he
should not take decided stand against
legislation that was bad. The Hughes
provision was pernicious piece of class
legislation, proposed, probably, to en-
barass the Republicans, according to
his view, and surely it was the duty of
the President to oppose bad legisla-
ton. Moreover, as leader of the
party, was it not his duty and his pri-
vilege to shoulder the responsibility for
killing improper legislation2 Surely
he could better afford to incur any dis
pleasure such action might entails than
members of the House. A leader who
did not stand ready to face danger
with more courage than his followers
was poor leader, in his estimation.
Therefore the President took the bull
by the horns. The protest of the rail.
road engineers and trainmen, for whom
he entertains the highest regard and
respect, afforded him the opportunity of
making clear his position, and he grasp
ed it eagerly. From the point of view
OF the politician the course of the
President was at least reckless. From
the point Of view of the President il
was the perfectly natural and !proper
thing to do. And it is by no means
certain that the course of the President
was not the wiser. The American peo.
pie love a brave man. They respect
the man who has the courage of his
convictions, even when those convic-
tiops, differ sadly from their own. Tie
members Of the labor organizations
who have most at stake in the amend
ment which has been rejected are a
mere than ordinarily manly set of fell
lows, as was shown by the way in
which they received the frank state
ments Of his position which Mr.. Taft
made during his campaign for the
Presidency. There is no Disgusting the
fact that the politicians were seriously
startled when they learned of the
Presidents purpose, but the more they
thought it over the more they became
convinced of his wisdom, and there are
many who now believe that the manli.
ness of his action will appeal more
strongly in his favor than any opposi-
ton engendered.

The action taken BY the veterans

The action taken by the veterans
of Michigan at their recent state
encampment in formally expressing
appreciation and gratitude to Senator
Burrows for his good work in behalf of
the soldiers and sailors of the civil war
suggest as. well the regard felt for SEN
ator Burrows by many thousands of
the men of Michigan not members of
any organization. Senator Burrows
was himself participant in the war
for the union. He represented Michi-
gan in that supreme test of loyalty and
-fidelity.to the demands of citizenship,
and as a congressman and as a senator
his services for our state has been such
as to add to Michigap's appreciation
and Michigan's gratitude. Senator
Burrows standing on every public ques-
ton has been in harmony with the ac-
complishments of Roosevelt and with
the record of President Taft and direct
ly in response to the demands of state
and national republican platforms. No
other man can be more helpful to Mich
igan as national legislator than Sena-
tor Burrows, and no man will be more
valuable as an assistant to President
Taft or as representative of the best
purposes and most advanced demands
of the republican party than will our
present senior senator, whose greatest
offense we are told is that he has grown
gray in the service of his country and
of his tate,-Cadillac News and Ex-
