every mile of the highway from the
Battery to the capitol on the heights
of Albany. 1t will be a thorough

MENACE OF THE HORSE

To the Editor of THE TINES
Some days ago "a. L. s. had let

kind of a protection be erected for the

appeal for the horses. Mr.. w ] Nc
Gee comes forward with the intimation
that both of these letters were waste
of words, for the reason that santa

with Mr.. MCGEE, that the horse would
be vastly better off If banished to the
open country, but, as matter or tact,
the horse, as yet, Is not banlshed to

therefore, that 1t Is the duty of those

GREATNESS FALLS FROM
FAME TO NOTORIETY.

Paris has at last been shocked. Max
ing due allowance for the exaggerated
notions entertained by foreigners as to
Gallo latitudinarianism, the fact re-
mains that the merry capital is not
easily startled. The pranks of kings
and princelings who shower francs and
crowns upon the likes of Gaby Deslys
and the Baroness Vaughn awaken little
more than languid interest along the
boulevards and in the cafes chantants.
The adventures of the common breed of
humanity create hardly a ripple.
But about the last place one would
expect to find passion and emotion
would be among the sooty alembics and
retorts of a chemical laboratory. To
keep up the traditions such places
should be hung with dried nevis and

ROBINS GOOD SOCIALIST
WITHOUT KNOWING 1T

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
According to newspaper reports. Mr..
Raymond Robins in his Memorial Hall
address warned his hearers against So
cialism, and charged it's leaders with
"arousing their followers to the be-
ginning of a class struggle" Now,
MI: Robins must know, as we all know,
that there have been economic classes
In America for many years. We have
a robber class which tries to use the
powers OF Government for the wrongful
enrichment of their class. We have
robbed, disinherited, landless. disem-
ployed class, to whom the doors of OPP
portuhity are nearly closed. And be-
tween these two extremes, We have the
great middle class. The Socialist move
H., mt aims to have the powers of gov
ernment administered on the basis OF
social Justice, so as to equalize oppor-
tunities to prevent the exploitation of
labor. and to end the class struggle.
For several years Mr.. Robins himself
mas been engaged in class struggle
against the powers that prey
against the machine politicians of IL
linois, fighting for just taxation, civic
bet&rment, and the rights of labor. In
the broad sense of the word Socialism.
Mr.. Robins is a pretty good Socialist
without knowing IL. He demonstrated
this fact Sunday afternoon by denounc-
ing the underpay of working girls, and
by his statement that food, clothes,
shelter, and decent housing conditions
are the first concerns of Christendom."

Do Gods work, but begin on your

SOME THOUGHTS ON
THIS FEVERISH AGE

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
The entire proposition of getting
along in this broad land has nothing
to do with merely making decent
living. following quiet course among
small community Of friends. and
finally having a respectable. quiet burial.
That was the case years back, when
everything was done with less haste,
when the world was younger, and when
men were not fired with the ambition TO
be possessors of the dollar, above all
things. Then people were born, bred.
and died in one community, not infre-
quently in the same house. They knew
their little world and paid only moder-
ate attention to what occurred else
where. They had their own ideals, their
h arthstones as their standards of pur-
ity, and the sanctity of quiet home as
their highest ambition. To have one OF
the members OF their family arrested,
even on a most trivial charge. meant
eternal disgrace. 1t meant broken
hearts, and a shadow that RARELY lifted.
All of this has changed. and one cares
as much for jails and Juries as he does
for his little theater trips. It Is all
part Of the game. Things must happen
The manner of progress has con-
cerned us little. The style of getting
money is unimportant, so long as We
get II. Where will 1t end?

Suppose majority of the delegates
from States which normally 60 Repub-
lican should turn up in the national
convention next year in favor Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt or Robert M. La Fol.
lette or Charles Z. Hughes; the re-
msinder of Northern delegates being
for President Taft, and the South, as
usual, having contesting delegations
from all or most of its States.
What would happeni
The national committee would make
up temporary roll of the convention,
and being a pro.Taft committee would
seat the pro-Taft delegations. There
after, the solid Southern delegations,
plus the big minority in the North,
would make up Taft convention, and
Taft would be nominated, despite that
there was opposition to him on behalf
of majority of the electoral voting
power of the party.
That would leave the party in poor
form to enter such determined and
uncertain contest as that of 1912 is
certain to be.
But beyond 1912 there would be still
more trouble ahead, due to the power
of self-perpetuation which this regime
possesses. The delegates seated from
each State ut the 1912 convention would
be represented by their national COM
mitteeman during the ensuing four
years. Thus the new national commit
tee would be in harmony with the
views and purposes of the Southern
State machines; and this new national
committee would remain as the su-
preme council of the party till 1916
and determine the contests of that
year. Needless to say it would deter,
mine them with consideration for the
same interests that had actuated the
decisions in 1912.
1t is thus apparent that self
perpetuating machine is maintained in
the national committee, and that the
power of this machine always to de-
eide what sort of delegates shall be
accepted from the Southern States
amounts to well-nigh impregnable
fortificatIon. 1t is a. dangerous con-
dition, which soon or late may become
a real menace to the Republican party
