BEHIND THE TAFT SMILE.

~ RESIDENT TAFT'S retreat from the hostile position he as
lk sumed last winter toward the Republican members OF Con
gress who refused to stand by the react1onary pohcies
framed for them by Senator Aldrich and who labored in this despite
to chi the iokers out of the administration bills was 70 maladrolt
that it is deplored by administration newspapers. Mr.. lafts smile
was one of the assets of his campaign. The smile disappeared u
Washington when he found that there were Republicans who would
not follow him into the Aldnch camp. The leading article IN
Hampton's Magazine describes the transformation after III Isl
oa,ts oot to work in Congress. Then Mr.. Taft developed "a violence
of temper and IAN arrogance of opinion" that brought many SAD
shocks TO men who least realized these new traits He was pc
culiarly bitter in his expressions OF contempt even hatreo nf ne
insurgents in Congress-" and ito be n enemy of these men was
full certifcation of character at the White House" All TINS pehlnd
the "Taft smile the general public saw. But in what bitterness of
shirt must have been written that letter in which Mr.. Taft re-
stored the hated insurgents to presidential favor, though they are
more insurgent than ever, a favor that they have not sought and do
not acknowledge.

The Lcss,n Of the Maine election.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-In the comments of the press on
the political revolution in Maine there
seems to be a total absence of a recog-
milton of any fundamental cause for
that revolution. That cause is not far
to seek: 1t lies in the fact that Messrs.
Roosevelt and Taft have seen fit of
their own initiative to alter the policy
of the Republican party as established
for fifty years, on one of the two most
vital questions that can engage the at
tention of a ~people-the tariff policy;
the currency question being the one
and only other hat can, for n mo-
ment, take rank with 1t. Both these
questions affect the power of assocla-
ton and combination among mankind,
and thus dominate n control the road
to civilization and society and peace
on the one HAND and to barbarism and
anarchy on the other.
Educated at a college under a pro-
fessor who was ignorant of this funda-
mental law of mans nature, associa-
toni Mr.. Taft, who is lost in the maze
or fog of prices, does not even I'M
derstand the natural law that governs
prices. That law is that with advance
in civilization, the prices of raw ma
terials, including land and labor, and
the rude products of the earth, being
utilized inevitably advance, while fin
ished commodities, through the in
tRrVpntiOn Of brains. chemistry.
steam, electricity and machinery, fall.
Hence civilization is impossible and
non-existing in the absence of DIVERSE
fed industries-the power of associa-
ton and combination being feeble.

CANNoNisM A QUESTION OF COURTESY.

~ CONGRESSMAN WILEY, like his confrere, Congressman Par
" kr, looks upon the question of Cannonism as merely a
matter of personal courtesy between two gentlemen in Con
gress. 1t would be impohte to disavow Speaker Cannon and it
wouldn't be gentlemanly. In the contemplation of Mr.. Wiley no
public principle is involved and public interests have no relevancy.
If Congress was a gentlemans club this attitude by the two Essex
county congressman might be deemed correct, but as Congress
isn't a private club, but a legislative body created to administer
public affairs and to promote the general welfare, the attitude taken
is purely eyasive and is highly absurd. Mr.. Wiley is one of the men
in Congress who never failed to back up Cannon with their votes.
He was with Cannon in every arbitrary act and in all the struggle to
wrest from him the autocrahc power he used so unscrupulously to
kill popular measures and serve special interests. The American
people are determined to root Cannonism out of the national gov
eminent, and those congressional candidates who take refuge from
the issue is a shallow pretense of personal courtesy, ignoring their
obligations as lawmakers, will learn in November that the pretense
has deceived nobody but themselves.

cood Practise in Conventions.

Good Practise I'm Conventions.
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
The German Catholic convention
made a change in the practise OF In
Producing resolutions that conventions
of all kinds should copy. in my judg-
ment, in order to give delegates an OPP
portunity to study and discuss and
vote intelligently on resolutions of pub
lie and general Importance. 1t was
stated on motion of Father kaemper,
of Iowa. that at all the conventions here
after the committee IN resolutions
should have printed he most mpor
tant resolutions and that copies be
given delegates the day before they
are to be acted upon.
The practise has been, and is in all
conventions, for the chairman of the
resolutions committee to read a series
of resolutions on the last day of a con-
vention and for the delegates to discuss
them from the ideas they get from a
hasty reading. Except the members OF
the committee. few delegates fully COM
ene the effect VI Soiht hhPoi'"
resolutions when they vote for them.
I have been at conventions when the
remarks of delegates on an important
resolution showed that many did not
clearly understand its import, and after
it was adopted and printed In the
newspapers delegates realized that they
made a mistake in voting for 1t. This
is true of political and also of religious
conventions. M. j. NJ.

HOW aDOOt 81
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
l thought there was a food law in
New Jersey. How is It that hucksters
are allowed to sell sour-bone hams?
A short, stout man came to my door
and told me he had home-cured ham
from the farm. He said he was from
Fairfield, y. j. bought a ham and
was stung.
Not alone when the ham was cooked
was it not fit to eat, but it was four
pounds short in weight. And l dlscov-
cred a stamp on the ham that showed
the ham was bought of a firm in New
ark.
/ did a little detective work of my
own, n found out that the huckster
who sold the ham to me lived in New
ark street, this city, not in Fairfield.
This was about a month g If it
hadn't been for my husband l would
have taken it to the Boa of Health,
the odor was so strong.
We were compelled to throw the ham
into the ash-can. Do o call that
right, for hard working people to be
swindled out of their hard-earned
money like that? Should there not be
a law to prevent this?

The People s Rostrum


These issues gave the Democrats their
overwhelming victory in Maine n in
Western States, and we may as well
admit that the same issue will have
an effect in our State.
Il fear that those issues and he
popularity Of Mr.. Wilson and the
speeches he will max in the campaign
may enable the Democrats to elect a
majority of their candidates for the
Legislature and defeat some of our
congressional candidates. If Cannon
ism is not repudiated by u State con-
vention Tuesday next this will, in my
Judgment, be the result"
Only w of the men I talked with
did not agree with the old politicians.
They could see only Republican vic
tories because of the result of the
primaries throughout the State.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
In Edward Schickhaus the Demo-
cratic ticket has a splendid candidate
for county supervisor. For several
years a well-known business man in
this city, Mr.. Schickhaus, as county
supervisor would surely install bust
ness methods into the county govern
ment system. Voters do not realize
the Importance of the office or many
Republicans might discriminate and
consider whether the present incum-
sent is worthy of another term.

THE MARCH OF THE CHOLERA.

m HOLERA has claimed at least 100000 victims in southern
" Russia this year, and the plague is spreading eastward. tis
now in southeastern Siberia and threatens Manchuria. In
these vast countries there are few of the resources of civilization
wherewith to fight cholera, and the laws of sanitation are almost
unknown, S 0 that the plague must have a fairly free sweep if it
gets a foothold. The West can at present protect itself by quaran.
tine and other means, but after the countries of the East have been
rayaged by cholera this year conditions will be favorable for a
more violent outbreak next year and a march westward that will
tax all the resources of civilization to successfully resist.

STOKES,S VOTE IN SOUTH JERSEY.

IN CHARGE that Edward G. Stokes was largely voted for by
IN Democrats throughout the State for the United States
senatorship could easily be proven if true. The charge is
made by the Camden PostTelegram, a party opponent OF Stokes,
which doesn't present a scintla of evidence to substantiate the
statement. 1t is true that the Democratic voters virtually had no
referendum in their own primaries. but the Democratic primary vote
that was polled was normal. South Jersey, where the greatest vote
was polled for Stokes, saw in his candidacy the opportunity to
secure the United States senatorship for that section. No doubt
il the name of the Hon. David Baird had been printed IN the
Republican ballots Mr.. Baird would have received a large number
of the votes given to Mr.. Stokes, but the latter was the only eandi-
date representing South Jersey, and sectional pride was enlisted in
his favor.
