TAFT AND T. R.

~HE adversarics of the Republican
party in New York state nave
4 every reason to look upon the
situation prepared for them by the
Republicans themselves with the great
est satisfaction. For they could not
with the expenditure Of time or money
or thought, have brought about the
tangle already effected by the joint
efforts Of Mr., Sherman, Mr.. Wood
ruff, Mr. AIldridge and others of the
"old guard" in their effort to humil-
late Colonel Roosevelt and use Mr.
Taft to do it.
The expected break between the
president and the former president
has been averted, but the gang in
control of the party has been shown
up so clearly that the harm has been
done. and it is too much to hope that
even Roosevelt's great popularity can
save the day. And Mr. Roosevelts
popularity is less, proportionately, in
New York than elsewhere. The large
number of stock gamblers in that
state, and their allies in business and

II talked politics in a country store
the other day with a vigorous, pro-
fame, down-ea in-Maine Democrat,
writes The Interpreter in the August
American Magazine. Continuing, the
writer says:
He was one of these rugged char
acters, and he had all the injurious
animosities of a patriot who has long
suffered persecution for the sake of
opinions that were mostly erroneous.
1t was seldom indeed in his expert
ence that bonfires had been lighted for
his party. But today he had just come
home from a tour of the state and his
breast was full of the hopes of vic
tory. He drained his cup of cider and.
shaking his huge fist in the air at the
Republican postmaster, who looked
over the pile of letters he was sorting
with a smile of indulgent superiority
Gor he had heard this talk for thirty
years or more), he roared: We've got
'em licked, sir. l tell you, by Jehosh-
aphat, we've routed them horse, foot
and dragoon. They have bamboozled
the people too long. Well carry this
congregational deestrick as sure as the
Lord made little apples. Well knock
out that condemned humbug at Au-
gusty and put in a good Democrat in
his place. And by the Lord Harry
We'll elect a United States senator!
Then suddenly the light of triumph
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-24

We are promised that by November
a limited number of experimental
postal savings banks will be opered in
cities of medium size, but it is quite
doubtful whether this promise can be
fulfilled. In the first tplace, congress
has appropriated only 100000 with
which to institute the experiment, ard
part of this money is already spent for
stationery. The promise is to STAR
banks in fifty cities this fall, and $780,
900 would have to be spread out pretty
thin to cover the ground.
There is perhaps no essential reason
why a bank with absolute credit
should not be started with 5000
equipment for each branch, but hu-
reaucracy is always wasteful, and then
would come the question of salaries i"r
the going concern.
A great deal of public interest at
taches to the experiment, but it may
be doubted whether it is likely to
prove of much value at first TO commu-
mites at any considerable distance
from the national capital. We learn
from a Washington dispatch:

But what good will it do? What's
the use? The blankety blank, dash

party are all Republicans.
Il asked him what he meant, Weren't

lar enough. Didn't they vote the tick

matter with them? Why were they Re
publicans? Well, this leader in Port

one at Saco or Biddeford is a lobby
ist for the Boston & Maine. Another
at Bangor is hand-in-glove with the
Republican machine. A fourth is the
Democratic agent in Augusta of the in

social life, are to a man bitterly op-
posed to anything he advocates.
While the statement now made to
Mr.. Griscom by Mr.. Taft clears him
of duplicity toward Roosevelt or any
alliance with the cabal opposing him,
it does not reveal him satisfactorily
to those who have hoped that he would
soon show a spine and purpose. Look
at his telegram to Sherman of AU-
gust IA, as now given out by him:
\ = the whole situation in New
York may be saved without humil-
iation to anyone and that with
victory for the party by full con-
ference with Mr.. Roosevelt and
reasonable concessions with refer
enCe to platform and candidates.
The thing of all others that ought
to be avoided Is a controversy in
the convention.
That is the old familiar Taft. "Vic-
tory for the party" reasonable con-
cessions on platform" "avoid a con-
troversy," show the same frame Of
mind that has led to Mr.. Taft's vacil-
lating course and fatal alliance with
the element in his party that he now
sees is making a tool of him. 1t is
always expediency with him; always

UNDERGROUND TROLLEY
WIRES REMOVE MENACE

Editor Herald: Some ten days ago
most thickly peopled corners, the
writhing ends falling to the street,
where, by a sort of miracle there was
no one for the moment to be struck.
A crowd gathered, and traffic was
checked until the transit company's
"trouble wagon" could reach the scene
and repair the damage.
Within a week later precisely the
same kind of accident occurred just
one block from the scene Of the first
accident Again, by rare good fortune,
there was no one injured.
Both the corners in question are
such that throngs of people might be
expected to congregate within few
seconds time, in response to any sight
or sound somewhat out of the ordi-
nary. An injured person or animal
would quickly cause such throng
to gather.
What if broken trolley wires were
to fall into such a throng? What. If
such wires were to fall even under
normal conditions-could the fortu-
nate absence of fatalities noted In the
two instances referred to be expected
to repeat itself?
The god of chance seems to be ION
the job" pretty continuously, II one
may judge by the great number OF
hairbreadth escapes which are recorded
every day; but it does not please him
to be everywhere all the time. And
some day when an electric wire falls
to the street there will be tragedy
to describe.
That it is possible to dispense with
the overhead wires has been clearly
demonstrated by the removal Of many
of them here within the past few years
and by their complete absence In
Washington, where the transit cars are
moved by wires which lie underground
Perhaps it is not too early to begin,
in this city, a further agitation for the
removal of a menace which is contin-
uous and clearly unnecessary

CLAIMS CHILD LABOR DUE TO
POOR RAISING BIG FAMILIES

Editor Herald: I note in a recent
issue of your paper an item referring
to a young girl in New York working
three days for 80 cents and of the
judge scoring manufacturers who en-
ploy children at starvation wages.
There is also another view to be taken
of the child labor question. That is,
the indiscriminate raising of large
families of children by people of lin
tied means. Such practice causes an
enormous number of children to be
forced to work or want for the neces-
stiles of life, and for that reason the
parents of these unfortunate children
are more to blame than the manufac-
turers who take advantage of the
large number of children seeking en-
ployment and by that means get cheap
labor.
1t is my opinion that the best way
to eliminate the horrible practice OF
employing children in the factories OF
the country is to begin at the source
Of the trouble and teach the working
class and all classes of limited means
that they are doing themselves, their
children and the country at large q
great injustice by raising children they
cannot give the proper care and school

ECONOMIES EFFECTED ATT
COST OF HELPLESS CLERKS

Editor Herald: Postmaster General
Hitchcock recently issued a statement
showing that he had effected reduc-
tion of $11, 100000 in last years postal
deficit. In certain papers he has been
highly praised for this, but the Postal
Service Magazine tells a very different
story, and it is one of local interest
that the Letter Box should notice.
Briefly, it is charged that the econ
omies are effected mainly at the ex-
pense of the unfortunate postal clerks,
office forces having been reduced and
those remaining in the service being
compelled to work abnormally long
hours. The men dare not rebel and
have no law to protect them,
The letter carrier is protected by an
eight hour law, but this year the vaca-
tion substitutes have been largely dis
continued, the routes of those absent
on vacation--to which they are entitled
by law-being divided up among those
continuing on duty. The delivery serv-
ice is said to have been greatly i'm
paired. Have any of your correspon-
dents noticed a falling off in this re-
spect? f. p. KELLERMAN'

COMMENTS ON THE TEMPORAL
QUALITY OF MANS AFFECTIONS

Editor Herald: In yesterdays Her
aid there appears the report of a man
bringing legal proceedings against an
other man for alternating the affections
of his wife, and claims $50,000 dam
ages. The tearing asunder of the mar
riage ties, the Inconsistency of friend
ships and the arrangements of fami-
lies suggest how temporal are all our
social relationship. At the altar those
about to be married promise, perhaps
with the sncerest motives, to eternally
love each other. But the love of bud
ding youth, and even that of maturer
years, is too often transitory and goes
no deeper than the physical senses.
Such attractions, too often misnamed
love- are liable to dire shipwrecks
when the storms of life strike the
home. 1t is not however, the honest
and unavoidable mistakes that cause
the many unhappy marriages, but the
sordid commercalism associated with
them. Fortune hunting through mar
riage bids fair to become as common
as gambling on the stock exchange and
betting on the races. But those who
sell themselves by marrying for money
are never happy They stand con-
demned by their own consciences.
Conjugal love, when pure, is the
highest and holiest Of all human re-
lations. 1t is not only at the center
of all happiness, but at the center or
all reform. Children born OF the har-
moniously married are always lovable
and loving: but the offspring of the
unmappily married are coarse and an
guIar and too often find their way into
the asylum and penitentiary. 1t is,
therefore, to the interest of society and
to the interest of the unhappily mated
that they become separated. And no
body is morally entitled to damages
because of alienated love. Love can
not be controlled, it cannot be bought,
it cannot go to where it is repealed:
but it wanders at its own sweet will
to its most adorable object.
