LATINIZING THE REPUBLIC.

The great railroad strike in France and its re-
suit go to show in dramatic fashion the danger
of present day tendencies in this country as il
Illustrated in the New Nationalism''.
The strike in France was against the Govern
ment in that it involved the governmental
agencies of the railroads.
The result was that the Government exasperat-
ed and all but paralyzed, simply converted the
railroad employees into soldiers and assigned them
TO the special duty of operating trains
Ii may be said that this high-handed procedure
is the outcome of different conception of what
Republic means in the Republic of France
from its meaning as understood in the Republic
of America.
That may be true, but the New Nationalism'
with its policy of centralized government and
It's exclusive control of all industries and means
of lntercommuueation, tends to just the change
which would make American institutions French
So the Government in the United
States becomes SO involved in connection with
railroads and other large corporations as to exert
control tantamount to ownership, at that mo-
,ne1t the boosted independence of the forces of
organized labor will cease, it is clear that
they have been rendered impoent in France
In time of stress the United States has the
power of requiring military service. Its organ
ization of the National Guard is gradually being
extended until that service shall be, as in Europe
inclusive. When the Governments interest in
railroads and other corporations becomes vital
as to make interference with their functions a
species of interference with the government, such
a rlse as that of Premier BRAND might be sue
eessfully availed of in this country.
That the New Nationalisn' tends to this
condition not even Roosevelt attempted to deny
in the Vest
He cannot successfully deny it in the East.

naturcd acceptance of the verdict. The liver OF
the people is stirred by the spectacle, but their
bile is not raised. The eliminating baseball orgy
carries with it no national headache.
As to the present contest, it affords an inter
esting physiological and psychological problem.
Will experience yield TO youth! On hundreds OF
fields the same query has received half as many
different answers. In Chicago the trained
athletes of the Cubs have all the advantage of
years and of experience. They are men Of cool
nerve, accustomed to meeting crises, to waiting
patiently for the turn of the luck, to taking adj
vantage of opportunities and minimizing the dis
aster Of mistakes. In Philadelphia, the "Athle-
tics" show different stripe of player-the
vounster of exceptional special ability, the new
ball player selling his first opportunity for repu
tation, throughout the team the type of dash and
ginger that knows it is going to win because of
its strong heart, its fleet feet, his red and rapid
blood. Such contest is essentially NOBLE in.

LAUNDRIES AND PUBLIC HEALTH.

light upon a business that is comparatively
Young. The fact shows more than anything else
the growth of the impulse, not only for nominal

growth of education in the new doctrine of santa

millions invested in the steam laundry business
reflect a gratifying public ideal.

THE GENEROUS. HEARST.

The bloom seems to be off the peach OF the
ex-Presdents popularity, if the crowds that are
hearing him in New York State may be taken as
an idex. Novelty is the hardest thing In the
world to sustain; and the Colonel, whatever else
he may be, is not novel. His drawing abilities
have, indeed, been equalled only by those of Viii
liam Jennings Bryan, but the latter has him beat
two to one on politics, to say nothing OF oratory
and originality of thought. The Colonel harps
on one string, with obvious variations. The abb
sence that lent enchantment and dulled the mem
DRY seems to be fading in its appeal. The New
York campaign, even though the attack be ON
"Wall Street" and Tammany neither Of which
are directly concerned, seems to limp.
In the meantime, Mr.. Hearst is proceeding in
an evidently Brisbanesquc manner to warm
things up. His independence League having
taken the bit between its teeth and run away, Mr..
Hearst, while nominally running with it, is in
actuality aiding in the cause of Roosevelt. We
will not do more than suggest the question,
"Wbyf', although it is apparent that there must
be reason. Mr.. Hearst is not seeker after
health through the medium of political exercise,
and what he says in behalf of the Colonel is said
at some price, That he is so busy saying it sug-
gests that the price is sufficient to interest man
both rich and ambitious. In an interview handed
the Brooklyn Eagle Mr.. Hearst says of candi-
date Dix's denunciation of Roosevelt as men
ace:
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1910-10-18
ace /:

l. tHlnk tnat CanO1date INK SIate-
ment is insincere and absurd. Candi-
date Dix's whole letter of acceptance
was mere parrot paraphrasing of the
prejudiced opinions of the corruption
lists in business and in politics.
Whether Mr.. Roosevelt is wise or
unwise. sound or unsound, sincere
insincere, he certainly is not public
menace. and the people who say that
he is do not themselves believe it.
Il consider Mr. Dix more of public
menace than Mr. Roosevelt, not be-
of his own personality, for that
is colorless and vacuous enough. but
because of the forces of financial and
political corruption for which Mr.. Dix
is the stalking horse in this campaign"
Apart from its commercial or political mo-
tive, the above might be construed as being the
statement of model in the virtue of forgiveness.
Mr.. Hearst may not think Colonel Roosevelt a
menace, but Colonel Roosevelt is on record as
thinking Mr. Hearst is an anarchist The public
mind will recall the famous occasion when, as
the accredited representative of the President,
Elihu Root iourneved to New York and there
stated that in the opinion of the head of the Ma
ton it was Mr.. Hearst who was morally respon-
sible for the assassination of President McKin-
lev.
