LaFollette carried every county in

McGovern. for the republican NOM
ination for governor. carried 81 coun-

A trifle over SO per cent of the vote
of the state was cast at the primary
election. The country vote WAS light,
demonstrating that the farmers are
not interesting, as general thing, at
tn. primary election, or are indiffer-
ent as to who may be nominated.
The proper authorities should fit the
shoes of the late Frank T. Tucker on
the feet of some anxious patriot, place
his name On the state ticket and tell
him to run along with other state

A large number Of citizens in this

scandal which caused the death of
Frank T. Tucker is nut being probed,
that the parties guilty of his death
may be known and execrated by all
men.
In an opinion by Attorney General

the penalty. In almost every instance Of
what may be peculative speculation the
thief il tempted by visions OF wealth
which will enable him to live better, to
give his family more advantages, to
splurge in luxurious equipment, to buy
automobiles and to give elaborate dinners.
All of this has been denied him, and he
has seen around him on all sides evil
dences of successful plunging in the
market. What others do he thinks he
can do. and he takes invariably with the
intention to return his borrowed" capt.
tai to its source. For such a man there
is a certain measure Of excuse. the pitt
full excuse of ambitious poverty. But for
the man who. with plenty to enable
him to live better than well. with no
family to whet his eagerness 20 get ahead
financially, steals or cheats in order to
play the market. there is no conceivable
Justification. He is an example of the In
sensate greed which keeps the pentiten-
tiaries filled.

A Matrimonial MIDDLE.

Little sympathy will he wasted upon
either of the parties to the international
matrimonial mistake. the details Of which
are now being spread broadcast with
amazing frankness. The manner in which
an impetuous American squandered his
fortune upon the foreign singer OF no.
toriety presents an aspect of singular
stupidity on the enc part and cupidity
on the other. The most unfortunate as
pect of the affair has been the eager
yolubility Of the wife's brother, who is
apparently determined to make the most
Of his one chance in life to be con-
spicuous. Whether the moneygrabbing
prima donna and the foolish husband
eventually patch up their differences is
Of no moment. The only important fea-
ture Of the whole matter is the striking
demonstration it affords OF the immortal
truth that fool and his money are soon
parted.

Massachusetts,.

Well. how about Massachusetts? Will
the Maine result affect the situation in the
Bay state? Will the republican row there
be the harder to hoe because of the over
turn in the Pine Tree state?
The Massa chusettS democrats have been
cocky ever since the success of Mr.. FosS
last winter in the fourteenth congress
sional district. They interpreted that as
condemnation of the Payne law, and
have been asserting that the state would
pass a similar Judgment in November. in
the congressional. the legislative and the
gubernatorial contests.
The gubernatorial nomination is desired
by three men. Mr.. Foss, who at first dis
couraged the suggestion of his name, is
now an eager candidate. He has come to
believe that he can repeat on a state
wide scale his performance in his race for
Congress. Mr.. Vahey. who ran last year,
wants to try again. and probably is the
more insistent in the light of the Maine
figures. Mayor Fitzgerald Of Boston lives
so close to the statehouse the edifice has
attractions for him; and he remembers
and asks his party to remember, the
''corking'' race he ran only short time
ago for his present office.
Inc repuDllcanS nave at no Tune Oeen
idle Both Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Crane have
been astir for months. The former,
whose seat in the Senate is in the scale,
abandoned his usual trip to Europe. and
spent the summer at home, close to his
lieutenants and in personal charge of his
senatorial campaign. He has probably
been little concerned about the opposition
in his own party, but must have noted the
democratic hope and activity.
Mr.. Lodge was prominent in the tarin
debate last year. and supported all the
principal protection features of the Payne
bill while it was passing through the Sem
ate. He has likewise spoken well of the
law in its operations. So that if the vot-
ers of Massachusetts do not like the law,
and would have 1t changed. their chance
at Mr.. Lodge will come In November. He
has hitherto shown great strength at
home, but not great enough to withstand
a democratic ground swell II one is roll
ing.
AS for Mr.. Crane, We shall probably see
him confine his efforts to the local field.
There was a report in the summer that he
would spend some time at Chicago assist
ing in the campaign for the middle states
and the west, but the Maine warning will
be likely to keep him close to base. He
knows all about campaigning in Massa
chusetts, and this is a year when his
party there needs every one Of its capable
leaders.

1t is sincerely to be hoped That the IN

The theory Of the packers that they
were justified in violating the law is at
least interesting.

From the Providence Evening Bulletin.
Perhaps the packers of Chicago will
some day become tired of indictment. 1t

but 1t must be terribly monotonous. and,
besides. there can be little profit in ii for
them. Even their ingenuity cannot de-

The Disabled Firefghters.

The unwillingness of Congress to grant
TO any of the employees Of the government,
save judges, soldiers and sailors. the
privileges of pensions and retirement re-
suits in a gross injustice in the case OF
the men of the forest service who were
recently injured in the line of their duty
while fighting the flames in the great
woods of the northwest About fifty OF
these men are now in the hospital.
Under the rigid rules of the department
they have been dropped from the rolls
for inability to perform their services.
In many cases they are destitute. A
small sum-pitifully small when the mag
ntude Of the work in which they were
engaged and the immense wealth of the
country are consdered-was publicly
subscribed for the relief of til'S. men.
but the most of it has been ed in
sending home the bodies of those who
We're burned to death in the forest fires
These men were better soldiers in the
country's cause than the occupants of the
barracks and the forecastles Of the mill
tary and naval establishments. They de-
serve greater consideration at the hands
manner they will be later relieved as an
expected. unless Congress experiences
great change of heart. that they will re-
ceive justice in the form of an honorable
retirement on competence.
The day will eventually come when the
United States will recognize that in order
to maintain an efficient public service it
must hold out to it's workers the hope OF
permanence ard provision. Most of the
-, hi afry,
have adopted the retirement policy and
have found it operating decidedly to their
advantage in holding in service the most
efficient men and in permitting them to
clear the ranks from time to time of the
superannuated and the feeble. The
United States remains singularly tardy
In adopting this principle of self protec-
ton
The case Of the fireighters Of the
forest service will appeal strongly to the
people of this country. They were in the
ranks Of the army Of conservation. play
ing their important parts to the end that
the wealth of the land might be saved
from destruction and waste. In ordinary
times they were exposed to dangers and
hardships as great as those confronting
the enlisted men OF the army and the
navy They brought to their work
much higher degree Of intelligence than
that required in the military or naval
services. They were recruited from the
higher walks of life. Many Of them
were graduates from the colleges and
universities. enthusiastic and devoted to
the cause Of conservation. The spectacle
of these men cast from the service in
which they had exposed their lives with
out a penny beyond their salaries up to
the date Of their dismissal should shock
the sensibilities of the country pro-
foundly.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-09-18

Of personal prosecution for violation of
the antitrust act. The case against
these packers. in fact, is q test of the ef-
fectiveness OF the law which prohibits
combinations in restraint of trade, but
which has up to this time been invoked
against corporate bodies and not against
individuals.
Apparently the governments legal rep
resentatives at Chicago are alert to fore
stall maneuvers to embarrass them in
their prosecution of the packers. Infor-
nation having been received that certain
employees of the packing houses whose
testimony will be required in these cases
were about to leave for Europe to avoid
being taken to court as witnesses, $50
subpoenas have been issued summonlng
that number CT men to present them
selves on the first OF November to testify.
This is an application of the lesson
learned on the occasion of the last
beef prosecution, when many of those
whose testimony was required fed the
jurisdiction. Some of them. indeed, have
never returned.
Ii will be unfortunate If these indicted
packers contrive to delay their trials
The country has had numerous illustra-
tiOns Of the manner in which wealthy de-
PENDANTS have postponed their punish
ments by taking appeals and securing
adjournments. which cannot be enjoyed
by the impecunious accused 1t is dis
tinctly unwholesome and even dangerous
for the concept to spread that there is
a law for the rich and a law for the
poor. that the courts differentiate in their
treatment Of the affiuent and the needy.
Such an idea is conducive to distrust
which may lead to lawlessness. Public
patience is already strained to the break
ing point in the matter of this so-called
beef trust and all other combinations
which regulate the prices of necessities.
II this prosecution is rendered ineffective
or is unduly protracted by the use OF the
wealth which has been derived through
the manipulation of prices there may be
a perilous expression Of discomfort.

Maine and Mayor Gaynor.

The Maine result and the expectations
growing out OF it have increased the
activity of those New York democrats
who desire the nomination of Mayor
Gaynor for governor.
AS these men see the matter tidal
wave is rolling and New York as other
states, will feel it, Democratic candi-
dates in debatabIe suites may this year
receive enormous majorities.
In New York, as the argument runs.
the democratic candidate for governor
should be elected by vote approaching
that which put Mr. Cleveland in Office
over Judge F'olger, and. twelve years
later. Levi p Morton in over David b.
Hill The republican situation is chaotic,
and daily growing worse. Whether the
old guard or the other side wins at
Saratoga, big sulk, and maybe worse,
ie likely to follow.
AZ the ardent Gaynor men reason. their
favorite should get the benefit OF this
coming expression at the polls. For the
man who does get it is bound to become
an overshadowing national quantity. Sup
pose Mr. Gaynor continues his success in
the mayors office. Suppose both the
newspapers and the public continue to
applaud him. What will such success
avail him in the country at large as re-
spects the presidency against the prestige
OF a man sitting in the governors chair
At Albany, with a phenomenal majority
to his credit and a record OF good things
done for the state? Not the democratic
mayor of Greater New York elected in
November. 1909. but the democratic gov
ernor Of the state elected a year later.
will be accepted by the national democ-
racy as New Yorks leading man in 1912
Mr.. Gaynor, so far, has said nothing to
encourage his friends who take this view
Of his fortunes. He may still desire, as
At the start, to serve at the city hall for
the full term Of his election. He may
like the work there and may consider
that by quitting the local for the larger
field he would be less useful to the pub
lic But he Is an ambitious man, and
the lure Of the presidency is the strongest
temptation that besets an American citi-
zen eligible to. and considered worthy Of,
that office.
Because he is not talking politics. or
discussing any features of the game per-
sonal to himself, is no sign that Mr.
Gaynor Is in ignorance of or Indifferent
TO present developments. We may all be
sure that he is fully informed Of what is
going OH at home and elsewhere. and
will be prepared when he thinks the time
has come TO signify his wishes.
