Ohio is almost certain to elect a

Indiana is likely to elect demo-

plan, to succeed Burkett.
With Gaynor the democratic
governor of New York and Wilson
the democratic governor of New
Jersey democracy would be in
position to go into the presidential
campaign in 1912 with a united
and encouraged party, possessed
OF at least two leaders, with either
of whom the party could probably
command more support than it has
been able to attract for twenty
years. y. ..
The reason for the existence of
these conditions is found in the
republican party itself. 1t has
permitted its machinery to be used
by special interests, to the advant-
age of those interests and to the
disadvantage of the people until
the people have determined to put
their affairs in the hands of
others. In most communities
where the republican party is pro-
gressive where its leaders are pro-
gressives, working in the interest
of the masses, republican control
of government may be expected to
continue. In communities where
the party is not progressive-and
there are more of these than of the
others, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
victories may be anticipated with
considerable confidence.
The time is probably too short
for the republicans to save the
house by actual or fictitious signs
of progressiveness. They still
have time to save the presidential
election of 1912, but they'll have
to hurry. Washington Times.

BEGINNING OF USE OF IRON
HARD to Trace Exactly, But Its Origin
Is Thought to Have Been in
Central Europe.

1t is commonly believed that the
use OF iron commenced in either AT.
rice or Asia. The latest investiga
lions prove that 1t was not worked
In Egypt until the ninth century be-
Tore the Christian era, or In Libya un
til $50 B. c., that the Semites alopt =.
ed Its use still later, and that It has
been known In Uganda only within
the last five or six centuries. In
China Iron Is first mentioned in 400
b. G. Bronze weapons were en-
ployed In China until 100 AID, and in
japan until 700 AID. According to a
Mr. Ridgeway, who has investigated
this subject. the metallurgy OF iron
must have originated in central
Europe, especially in Noricum, which
approximately represented modern
Austria and Bavaria. Only at Hail.
staff and In Bosnia and Pennsylvania,
from which countries the Achaians
and Dortans are supposed to have
migrated to Greece, are found evil
dences OF gradual introduction OF
IRON, at hrst as an ornament applied
TO the bronze which II ultimately dis
placed. Everywhere also iron was in
troduced suddenly-a fact which Inn
plies a foreign origin. He says that
meteoric iron was known in Egypt in
remote antiquity, but no doubt 1t was
worked as fints are worked, by cutting
or chipping, and was not smelted. In
other words. 1t was metallurgy, not
the knowledge. Of iron that originated
In central Europe.

why DEMOCRATS ARE
FEELING CHEERFUL

Those who have been reading
the political reports from the
Times staff correspondents are
able to understand why our demo-
cratic friends are looking so cheer
full these days. democracy is look
ing up. For the first time in fifteen
years, the donkey is kicking his
heels, Tapping his ears joyously,
and braying in loud and confident
tones. 1t really and truly looks
as if the democrats actually have
chance to elect somebody to office!
For two weeks the Times has
been represented in the center of
political activity by three of its
special political writer's, John
Snure. Walter. ] Fahy, and James
Hay, Jr. These Investigators have
been in Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New York, New Jersey
and Ohio. Mr.. Snure made the
western trip with Colonel Roose-
Welt and is now in New York. Mr..
Hay was with President Taft at
Beverly all summer and when the
president left the summer capital
ten days ago Mr.. Hay remained in
New England to investigate poll
tical conditions there. Mr. Fahy
has been in Ohio for a week and
is now in the Middle West to re-
cord for Times readers conditions
on that sanguine battlefield.
In reading the report of these
writer's it must be remembered
that they have made, are making,
and will continue to make unbiased
invet tigtions of political condi-
tions. Nothing will be colored
and nothing of Importance bearing
on the political situation will be
omitted. They write what they
find, whether it helps or hurts any
particular party or faction.
The investigation Of the Times
political writer's, when considered
with other information on political
conditions, shows that several inn
portant events may be predicted
with hardly any qualification.
The next house will be demo-
cratic.
The insurgents will at least be a
potent force in the next house, and
may control the republican caucus.
The next senate will have a
greater democratic membership,
the democrats, perhaps, gaining as
many as six senator's.
New York il quite likely to elect
a democrat governor, and 1t may
send democrat to the senate to
succeed Depew.
Massachusetts, may go demo-
cratic.
New Jersey may 60 democratic
and elect a democrat to succeed

ROOSEVELT As he IS

Abe Gruber, who was selected by
the "old guard" in New York to
fire the first shot at Roosevelt in
the republican state convention,
drew the following pen picture of
the ex-president.
1t is a vivid picture of Americas
greatest political hypocrite:
Twelve years ago, on this plat
form, l warned a republican con-
vention against turning the execu-
tive mansion into a shooting
gallery. My advice was not
needed. Since that memorable
day the man who has ever since
been shooting has seen his party
organization divided in every state,
his party's candidate overwhelm-
ingly defeated, business depressed
and the intelligent and honest
workingman without employment
and hungry. Looking for other
fields for shooting practice, this
man is now shooting at the courts
and its judges. Himself posing as
a lawyer. who never had a case or
drew brief, he now finds sport in
holding up the courts and Judge to
the scorn of the mob. But this is
not new symptom. 1t is an old
disease. This apostle of derringer
practice while he was president
accused Judge Humphrey, a gentle
man and honest man, of rendering
a decision which was made accord.
ing to the law, and which to this
day is unreversed.
when the United States Appel
late Court reversed Judge Lands,
the same shooter. not from the
head of a barrel, but from the
White House. sanctified by Abe
Lincoln, told the people of the
United States that the Judge had
been guilty of miscarrying justice.
Workingmen of the United
States, do you recall that when
Hayward and Meyer were on trial
for their lives, this same shooter,
with all the power of the Presi-
dent Of the United States, sought
to influence the jury by holding up
these leaders of labor as undesir-
able citizens?
"A French King once said: Il
am the State No sane man may
ever say i am the United States.
The lungs of the country are
not its brains. Men who a few
months ago believed, now dis
believe, men who worshiped then,
now execrate and throughout the
country the business men as such
are facing panic and as lovers of
their rights and liberties are fear
ing revolution. From Caesar to
Napoleon from Napoleon to the
American Jack Cade. 5.".. 49,.
when given power to shoot the
trusts he drew a line between the
good ones and the bad ones. The
steel and sugar trusts were the
good ones those which would not
help along the shooters political
schemes we're the bad ones. AS
now those who cry 'Vive lie Roi'
are good republicans and those
who are putting patriotism above
all else and therefore will not join
the cry are bad republicans.

DECISION RESERVED IN
SCOTTO DIVORCE SUIT,
Say Husband COndoned Offense
Charged Against Wife.

Decision was reserved by ViceChan-
cellor Emery today after hearing .argu
ment on one phase of the suit for di-
vorce brought by Jerome Scotto, a
blacksmith, of Brooklyn. against his
wife, Gertrude, who lives in Hoboken,
in which the court had decided that
the husband had proven his charges of
infdelity.
At the proceedings question as to
whether the husband had not eondoned
the offense was undecided, and 1t was
around this point that the argument
revolved today, julius Lichtenstein. of
Hoboken appearing for the woman.
and Joseph Kahrs for the man.
Albert Werner. a truck driver Of
Hoboken, was named as correspondent
in the suit, and Mr.. Lichtenstein said
that it was most remarkable that Wer-
ner and his wife had testified for
Scotto, but that Scotto had, neverthe-
less, continued on terms of intimacy
with Werner.
An attempt was made to show from
the testimony that Scotto did not leave
his sHife until some time after Werner
had warned him.
