Another big slide in the Culebra cut of
the Panama canal is reported as having
occurred on the night of September Is, a
mass of earth and rock estimated at 800

Swindlers.

The Department OF Justice has lately
been active in breaking up different forms
OF interstate gambling, having recently
made large haul of alleged swiudlers
engaged in bucket shop operations on a
large scale. Apparently the publicity
given TO its raid in that instance did not
sufficiently warn the people who have been
selling mining stocks of decidedly cues
tlonable value on the strength of de-
ceptive statements. for yesterday an
other large raid was conducted I'm New
York and one Of the most active of the
so-called wild cat speculation outfits was
captured. Seven men were taken into
custody, including the president and o,he..
officers OF the company. while similar
measures Were taken in SIX other cities,
where this concern has been actively at
work for some time past. While the
exact scope of its operations is not
yet known. 1t is assured that thousands
of people have been putting their money

The New City Postmaster.

The appointment of n. A. Merritt to
be postmaster of Washington is highly
gratifying to the District people, who
have long been hoping for such a recog-
milton of the principle of filing this office
with a member of this community. Mr..
Merritt's years of service in the post Of
flee and his recent long discharge of the
duties of the postmastership awaiting DR..
Grandfield's assumption under his now
cancelled appointment have exceptionally
fitted him for the post, and now that he
is given charge in his own right it is to
be expected that the excellent work he
has done in keeping the local mail stand
ard on a high plane of efficiency will be
continued. From every point of view this
selection is satisfactory to Washington,
and the President is to be thanked for
making 1t and thus recognizing the home
rule doctrine, which has been so frequent
ly ignored in the past in filling this posi-
ton.

A Progressive of the Progressives.

Senator Cummins' Reputation of Roose-
welt unsatisfactory to the western
progressives is a reminder of the red
hot days of 1892, when populism ragged
rampant through the west. when political
lines were smashed to smithereens, when
old-tine friends were forever separated.
when the English vocabulary was
squeezed to the limit for words of de-
nunciation and despair. These phrases
are stronSly reminiscent of the style OF
political expression then employed: "Po-
litical assassin of Pinchot'; Incarnation
Of the doctrine of dollars and politics.
Motley crew Of plutocrats", "Hessians
of privilege"
The political effect of this outgivins

Auto and the Grade Crossing.
From the Philadelphia Ledger

Attention Is called anew to the an
achronism of railroad crossings by the
frequency of accidents and especially by
the number of Automobiles whose lives
have been sacrificed in such mishaps. In
their case the blame may safely be dis
trbuted impartially between the railroad
and the automobile driver. The grade
crossing is an admitted evil-in part the
heritage of hasty construction In the days
when the railway was at it's beginnings,
and in part the fruit of the American pas
sion for getting results by the shortest
possible route and the American indiffer-
ence to any considerations but those of
the present. The automobilist is equally
open to the accusation of blindness to
conditions which make for the safety Of
himself and others. Granting all that can
be saiL against the perils of the grade
crossing, 1t is a fixed fact, known to all
men. The caution stop, look and listen
has been repeated SO often that one would
think it would be deeply ingrained in the
subconsciousness of every traveller upon
the open road. When a speeding automo-
bile. bound to no permanent way and con-
fined by no time table. comes in contact
with a speeding railroad train it is OBJ
vious that all the fault cannot be laid
at the doors of those who are responsible
for the crossing at grade.

not given the same rating that was &C.
corded by the western progressives a
short time ago. The citizens OF New
York are likely to marvel at the sug-
gestion that he is too conservative to suit
the insurgents of his party.
The Cummins declaration is an unquali-
fed mo compromise" cry OF radicalism.
1t remains to be seen how far 1t expresses
the view of the group Of western sena-
tors who. according to the present out
look, may hold the balance Of power in
the upper house of Congress during the
last two years of President Tafts adj
ministration. If the tendencies now in
evidence continue the large republican
majority in the Senate will probably be
cut down to such a point that six or eight
men can at least negatively control the
legislative situation in that branch. Such
ultra progressivism as that now mani
tested by the Iowa leader must be reck-
oned with as a factor In estima ting the
political outcome Of the Immediate fu-
ture.

The temptation to put up few dollars

companies that are easily recognized by
men OF business experience as impossible

that the more glaringly FRAUDULENT and
impossible, the lure the more eager are
the victims to contribute. In the case
of Miller, who organized an investment
syndicate a few years ago in New YORK.
offering to pay all his customers 10 per
cent a week profit, there were so many
subscribers that it was actually possible
for the shrewd swindler to make MS
ostensible- dividend payments out of the
money of fresh victims for several
months, and it was only when the inflow
of new funds began to slacken that he
found himself in the hole that was in
evitably awaiting him. The widest pub

since been practiced with success. 1t Is

Rhode Island.

The Rhode Island democrats in conven-
ton yesterday characterized the new
tariff law as. the most dishonest piece OF
legislation ever enacted, purposely framed
to yield unearned wealth to certain cor
porations and combinations of capital
lists
Stiff language, good people And Rhode
Island is the home of Nelson w. Aid
rich, not unknown in connection with that
measure. He did much toward preparing
the finishing touches. He put the bill
through the Senate under circumstances
that taxed even his strategic and tactical
powers. With his party divided, he had
to steer with the utmost caution and
skill, and face a mutiny which for time
looked ominous.
While remembering all sections of the
country and trying to accommodate ALL
Mr.. Aldrich, being no heather, provided
for his own. He saw that Rhode Island
got her share In fact, she Jared so we'll
complaint was made that she got too
much. 1t was against her Industries that
Mr.. Cummins and his friends directed
some of their hottest fire. And today, in
all the insurgent territory west of the
Alleghenies, the Payne law is denounced
DIS HdNllS Deeil ilidue DS anu iOI NEW
England.
May we believe that these Rhode Island
democrats are really in favor of. tariff
for revenue only? Are they genuine anti
protectionists? Are they willing to forego
all the benefits their state is enjoying
from protection-and they are not a few
and see established a policy of free
trade?
Or is their desire and objective only
free raw materials? 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that they are opposed to duties on
the finished products in which Rhode
Island is so vitality interested and from
which she has profited SO greatly.
But free raw materials are not to be
expected from either party. AS matters
stand. the republicans cannot vote them,
and the Bailey wing of the democracy
very potent under his leadership in the
Senate-is opposed.
What shall we see in Rhode Island on
election day? Gen. Brayton is dead, and
Mr.. Aldrich will not return from Europe
until late in October. With the two lead
ing figures of the organization out of the
field of action, will the republicans be
able to hold the fort? Undoubtedly the
democrats will be assisted by their
brethren sewhere. If MIR. Aldrich should
be succeeded in the Senate by democrat
1t would be one OF the most notable
features of even a democratic national
landslide.

Mr.. Taft and 1912.

The New York republicans did not ex-
press themselves as to 1912. 1t was
not necessary that they should. There
was no occasion for such a deliverance.
and the President did not desire one
made What was said was most cor
daily said and its effect will not be
small on the country.
The Ohio republicans did express them
selves on the subject. Theirs was the
attitude not only of political followers,
but of neighbors and personal friends.
Proud of the record of citizen of the
state in the highest office under the
government. they improved the occasion
TO say that one good term would de-
serve another. And so they declared
for the denomination of Mr.. Taft. Ac-
ceptable a. this was to the President, he
did not ask il.
AS The Star said several weeks ago.
1872 Will take care of itself. 1t is not
an issue now The custom is to re-
nominate the man who has done well
in the White House.
IN exception occurred in 1880 in the
case of Mr. HAYES He had given the
country an excellent administration in all
departments. but especially in the Treas
ury Department. But he had taken
office under exceptional circumstances,
and they made a denomination mad
visabie on tactical grounds. Besides, he
did not desire a second term.
Another exception occurred in 1884. Mr..
Arthur had done remarkably well in the
most trying conditions. He had ironed
out many creases in his party, and con-
Quoted national affairs in broad and
statesmanlike manner. The country had
prospered with him in Office. But the
sad explanation of his presence in the
White House enabled his opponents to
defeat his for denomination, though
than Mr.. Blaine.
Mr.. Taft's title to his place is not as
sociated either with disputed election re-
turns, or a tragedy. He triumphed over
his opponent by a most impressive ma
jority, and while there are divisions in
his party, they are not embittered as
were those with which Mr.. Arthur had
to deal. He is doing what is possible
TO heal them, and doing it in the proper
spirit.
II in 1912, therefore, Mr. Taft may be
praised as he has just been praised at
Saratoga, why should he not be renom-
mated? II he is associable then as
leader with q record of which his party
is proud, how could it refuse him in
dorsement without impairing the force
of its appeal to the country? Mr.. Taft's
attitude toward a second term is the
correct one, and another exhibition of
his observation-disclosures.

Doped Sirups.
From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.

strong movement Is in progress in
Philadelphia in behalf of law to pro-
hibit the sale Of ''doped soothing sirups
and baby comforters'' in that state.
The department OF health and charities
started the movement, and Immediately
it was indorsed by the Retail Drug
gists' Association Of thau city. There
is no doubt that the sale of these narcotic
carried off many precious infants. The
law ought to come to their rescue. That
seems to be the only safety. 1t is for the
defense of the poor and ignorant people,
whose hope lies in narcotics, that the
very first duty Of a legislature lies. This
state should come to the front In this
matter There is no doubt that the indis-
criminate use of doped sirups results In
the deaths Of many babies II the par
ents don't stop this slaughter of the in

From the Boston Globe.

There would be very little business
transacted in this or any other country
If the views Of pessimists were regarded
When there have been depressed times
and a nation is emerging from them-as
is the case at present with the United
States-there will be found croakers loud
ly proclaiming that capital Is timid" and
that prosperity is still afar of. Such
croakers have done more injury to trade
than all the politicians who are shrieking
on the hustings. There is not the slight
est excuse for merchants to heed the
croakers or politicians. After trade de-
pressions there Is always another era of
prosperity. Such an era Is due and near
at hand in the United States. Any one
engaged In any industry should bear this
in mind and shun all who foolishly claim
that capital is timid.''
