Think. t. r.. should crlticise.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The New York Republican commit
tee, in turning down Roosevelt for
temporary chairman of the convention
in favor of Sherman, shows plainly the
attitude of the machine towards the
ex-president. 1t is, therefore, the
psychological moment for T. r. to make
public his views on the Taft admins
tration. If his reason for holding back
is because he thinks she will ~jeopardize
the chances of the Republican party by
openly declaring himself against Taft
his reason is not a good one. Party
loyalty is all right in some instances,
but when it is of benefit to the nation
to turn against the party there should
be no hesitancy on the part of any pub
Iic-spirited individual to make war on
those Of his party who are working
against the interests of the people.
Taft is a failure, and Roosevelt knows
1t. Therefore 1t is up to the colonel to
say so, and to ally himself with those
who are more inclined to join hands
with progress. We nave had enough of
reactionary methods and are prepared
to vote for men, real men, not spine
less, trust-governed individuals. The
Republican party needs Roosevelts and
Hugheses, not Tafts and Shermans.
In justice to those who depend upon
Roosevelt's honesty and good judg-
ment he should openly declare himself
against Taft and his administration.

Annoyed by Smoke Nuisance.s

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Isn't it possible to dc something to
stop the use of soft coal In the fac
tories of this city? I live a full three
quarters OF a mile from the nearest
factory. and still am a sufferer from
the dense clouds that float from the
chimneys at all hours of the day.
During the summer, when the warm
| weather forces us to throw open the
windows, particles of coal-dust, some
of them almost as big as pieces of egg
coal, loaf in and soil window curtains
and white linen. Ta~bles-cloths and
bed-sheets two hours after being
placed out are filthy, and the inside of
a porcelain bathtub gives a very fair
imitation Of a coal-bin.
Many movements have been started
against the smoke nuisance, but all of
them have petered out before any
thing has been accomplished. The high
chimneys which are, in theory, sup
posed to protect nearby residents from
the ravages Of the smoke clouds, really
do SO. but the persons living a distance
away get the full benefit of all the
emanations from the factory chimneys.

other undertaking in this line which
should be given consideration, and that
is public dance halls.
Hundreds of young girls who work
hard all day find that their greatest
pleasure is dancing. 1t is a well-known
fact that the general u of dance
halls are not places where a mother
could believe her daughter to be safe.
There is too much temptation awaiting
the girls at these places. Let the city
conduct several of these dance halks
in which no beer or strong drinks will
be sold, and undesirable persons will
be eliminated.
Such halls, conducted by the city for
the pleasure of the younger set, and
not the breeding places Of crime, would
at onc become popular.

~ OUTLOOK FOR PARKER AND WILEY.

TT n a presidential election year, with a hugely popular presloentla'
candidate on the Republican ticket, it was easy for Representa-
tiYes Parker and Wiley to be reelected, in spite OF their ANNA
Hons with Sneaker Cannon. The election in 1908 was almost a walk
over. Conditions the present year are quite different. Il congress
men wer nominated in primaries in New Jersey the renom1naton
of Messrs. Parker and Wiley would be extremely doubtful In
dorsed nv tbe county committee, they are reasonably sure of a con-
vention nomination. But considerations that may not appear TO a
convention majority have immense weight with party voters, and
the Indications in all the States are that Cannon congressman who
NAV be renominated Will find it hard to get elected In States where
primaries have been held they have been turned down by the party
voters. Mr.. Parker, as one of the principal lieutenants of Speaker
Cannon. will be singled out as a target by the antiCannon sentimen
in the Seventh district, and both candidates will have to face the
resentment against the high prices that have followed the enactment
by the aid of their votes of the muchexecrated PayneAldrich tariff.

THE TWO REPUBLICAN CAMPS.

tn RESIDENT TAFT yielded to bad advisers at Washington and
he proves just as plant to the same kind OF Influences at
Beverly. In New York politics Mr.. Taft has joined fortunes
with the discredited party leaders who have fought against every
attempted reform and antagonized Governor Hughes in all his pol
icies. the men who have been identified with corrupt politics and cor
ruDf legislation for years. The rebuff to Roosevelt by the State COM
mittee was premeditated. The committee was packed with proxy
holders for that purpose. VicePresident Sherman had knowledge
Of the purpose of the committee, and twas known also at Beverly.
If there had been any hope of bridging the widening gulf between
Roosevelt and Taft, between the maj who originated progressive
policies and the man who weakly betrayed them, that hope may
now be abandoned. The situation tends to open war between the
administration backed by the reactionary elements in the Repub-
lcan party, and Roosevelt and the policies he represents.

DEMANDS OF THE AUTOMOBILE.

I'D EsOLUTIONS adopted last night by the automobile club take
Inn strong ground for amendment of the automobile law to pro-
vide for reciprocity with other States. The ground thus
taken accords with enlightened sentiment. 1t would have been well
if the resolutions had omitted a demand for the exemption OF auto
mobiles from local taxation as personal property. No Legislature
would consent to such a law. The man who owns an automobile can
afford to pay taxes on it quite as well as the wageearner can pay
taxes on the little home he owns. 1t is fnadvisable to raise such a
question. But experience has shown the v6ousness of the auto-
mobile law in respect to the treatment of visiting motorists from
other States. That feature of the law is a dscredit TO New Jersey,
as well as a serious injury to New Jersey interests.

THE AUTO IN STATE POLITICS.

MI r. DAVID BAIRD, in comment on the remark by State Chair
v man Murphy about the automobile vote, says: "There are
four farmers to every automobiist in New Jersey" The
rejoinder might be made that the farmers of the State are not com
bined in their vote. They are nearly equally divided politically and
cannot act as a unit on a question of the automobile law. On the
other hand, the automobile vote is practically a unit. And in active
sympathy with that vote are hotel and restaurant keepers, summer
resort proprietors and many thousands of business men and work
ingmen whose interests lie with the automobilists. Mr.. Baird under
rates the power of the automobile in New Jersey.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
I read in the STAR that at a meet
ing of the Newark Retail Liquor Deal
ers' Association. which in plain English
means saloonkeepers, it was proposed
that a State law be enacted t. put an
end to the giving of free lunches In
saloons. I have thought, from my long
experience at conventions of many
bodies, that labor men took the cake,
but the saloon men exceed the limit.
The State cannot prevent a saloon
keeper giving a free lunch. He knows
whether it pays to set out a free lunch.
II it did not pay he would not give
free soup and bread and bologna and
cheese. But 1t does pay, as I know, for
1 had an experience in it years ago.
The free-lunch bar came to stay, and
don't forget 1t.
AS l said in the opening sentence, the
labor people can always be relied upon
to make a break in their conventions.
Witness, for instance, the action OF
the State Federation of Labor in the
proposition to oppose woodrow Wilson
as a foe of labor! I challenge any of
he labor cranks to point to one in
stance where President Wilson ever
said a word against honest, united
labor. He may have, as I have done
and will again. denounced the crooked
men in labor unions, the fellows who
are agents of special interests and who
l have often exposed. I know them
from the time of the Knights of Labor
to the present. NJ.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE.

TT n q contest for State nominations it is legitimate for the par
tfsans of one candidate to invoke all kinds of influence In his
behalf. So II is common for the press, the pulpit, business
and manufacturing interests, organized labor and other interests
to be appealed to. In the last analysis, however, it Is usually the
common sense of the electorate that prevails. No single interest
Tins appealed to and Influenced by onesided representations car
ris much weight in the party judgment. In New Jersey there are
many important interests, some of which conflict. The ideal can
didate is the man high enough to be above any one interest and
broad enough to represent them all.

WV leader Of the Democratic party was closed in the Nebraska
primaries yesterday. Mr.. Bryan put everything to the
hazard on the election and lost. All the candidates that repre-
scented him were defeated and his pet State policy was repudiated.
Candidates against whom the party was warned by Mr.. Bryan were
nominated. Cast aside by the Democratic party in Nebraska Mr..
Bryan is no longer the potential force he was in national politics.
He will not again be a candidate for the Democratic Presidential
nomination. His retirement heals a great breach in the party.
