The Price of Popularity.

Although he does not say so, Col
onel Roosevelt would doubtless be glad
If his ardent admirers would, for a
while, cease writing letters and send
ing papers, books and magazines to
him, for he now has on hands enough
correspondence to employ him steadily
for six months in answering II he did
nothing else. Some OF those who have
thoughtfuly written the former presi-
dent must not be disappointed, there
fore, II they do not get prompt replies.
AT his home in Oyster Bay, Mr..
Roosevelt says he has 10000 letters
yet unanswered, 1000 or more books
sent for review, autograph or endorse
ment and heaps of papers and maya
zines and the mails are still bringing
their daily consignments, The time re-
CURED to answer all these communica-
lions would be great enough imposition
on any man, to say nothing Of the
enormous expense involved in station

pay this price for popularity, therefore
he could not be fairly blamed.

Now that congress Is out OF the way,
President Taft intent on his well-earned
vacation, the oyster Bay volcano in a
state OF suppressed eruption and the dull
season imminent In politics and business,
the most serious matter of speculation con-
sideratlon is the possible outturn OF the
crops How much cotton, grain and other
farm staples shall we have to export with
which to pay our heavy foreign liabilities
and our yearly outing expenses on the other
side OF the ocean? This is the matter that
will chiefly occupy the minds of railway
officials, financiers and speculative bulls
and bears for the next ninety days.

upbears on his broad shoulders the whole

THE PRESIDENT AND LABOR.
Futile Attempts to Misrepresent the
Formers Position.


Minneapolis Journal.
Persistent efforts to misrepresent the
presidents attitude toward the Hughes
rider on the sundry civil bill will hardly
be effective because the presidents words
always get such full publicity that it is
almost impossible to make him the victim
Of Misrepresentation In an affair of this
kind.
The president frankly opposed an attempt
to pass class legislation by means OF a
rider on an appropriation bill. 1t is not
labor strikes that he disapproves Of but
the boycott and especially the secondary
boycott which has been declared illegal
by the supreme court He objected to see
ing the boycott exempted from prosecution
in this indirect manner. Mr.. Taft has
been a consistent opponent of the I'M
American boycott throughout his public
life. The American people, including the
most intelligent and fair-minded section
Of organized labor, has come to see that
Mr.. Taft is right
There is nothing In the Sherman law
that prevents a body of men from stopping
work, when dissatisfied with wages or
conditions of labor. Thare is nothing in
1t to prevent them from using far means
of inducing other men not to take the
places they have vacated. What the SUI
preme court has condemned as contrary
to law is the boycott, which seeks to pre-
vent third party, who has no relation to
the strike whatever from buying or sell
Ing certain goods. They who invoke the
secondary boycott, say: I'VE will not
work for you. We will not buy the goods
you make. We will not buy goods of the
man who buys your goods. We will not
do business with any man who does bust
ness with any man who does business
with anyone who does business with you"
And so on.
1t was the specious attempt to nullify
the supreme court decision against this
sort of thing by refusing to appropriate
money to enforce it. TO which the presi-
dent objected with all his force. This
was a courageous and wise course to take.

Strength Rather Than Decadence.

IN an article contributed to the
current Atlantic Monthly, the famous
Italian historian, Ferrero, draws an
interesting parallel between one period
of ancient Rome and existing condi-
tons in the United States. The point
which he endeavors to make is that
the spirit of puritanism, which in old
Rome fought long and strenuously
against the corruption of the Asiatic
civilization and rallied loudly at the
tendency toward vice, debt, prodigality
and extravaganza, emanated from the
same conscience, which, in our country
and in our day, keeps complaining of
the excuses and iniquities that beset
us. The opinion of the United States,
which Is held in Europe, he says, is
based upon the yellow journal descrip-
tons of the Neronian feats of some
multi-millionaire, the sultana-like cap
rices of some over-rich American lady,
the statistics of divorce, the loud ex-
cesses of some popular celebration,
such as the suppers, with which the
new year is ushered in, or the scandal
Gus details of trials, sufficiently scan
dalous to aspire to the honor of being
cabled across the ocean"
Ferrero confesses that when he
started for New YORK he had many of
these ideas and prejudices himself, and
expected to set foot in a modern Baby
Ion. But once landed in America, 1t was
easy for him to see that in the legend
there was great exaggeration. He has
come to the conclusion. therefore, that
the bad reputation In this respect,
borne by the United States abroad, is
similar to that of the early period OF
the Roman empire, when corruption
was most talked about because there
was still moral consciousness strong
enough to protest against it. AS q con-
sequence the outcry complained of
should be considered signs, not of de-
cadence, but Of strength and virility.
"All that have seen and heard" he
declares, concerning the vice of great
American cities, alcoholism, gambling,
immortality, seems to be neither more
nor less than what have seen in any
of the great cities Of Europe" But
the explanation he offers is that in
America the reaction of the moral
consciousness against the progress OF
extravaganza, corruption and vice, Ia
greater here than 1t is in Europe
where the moral consciousness has for
long time been accustomed to con-
slider all this as inevitable, and, for the
present, at least, impossible to reform
and, therefore, makes no protest
Because there is still protest in Amer,
lea, but silence in Europe, superficial
observers conclude that in the one
place there is vice and in the other
none, while in reality evil exists or
both sides of the ocean; upon the
American side there is still faith that 4
may be extirpated, ana there is a will
to attempt the work Of publication.
If Ferrero has diagnosed our case
Alright then we, in this country, arr
combating abuses of luxury and ex
cesses of wealth, to which Europe II
inertly resigned, and, instead of suf
fering decadence, 1t remains FOR us t.
solve the social problems, winch thos,
abroad have ceased even to struggle
with.
