Progressives On Their Guard
Progressive republicans were con
SpicuOus at the Presidents re-
cent wedding anniversary cele-
bration by their absence. Even
Roosevelt, the. man who made
Taft president, was missing. The
explanation is this: The progress
slveS did not of course intend any
slight to the President, but ac-
tually feared that if they ATTENDED
the celebration the White House
press bureau would send out stor-
les TO the effect that they favor
ed Taft for denomination and re-
election.
If Republican approaches with

publican is strong for the. re-
nomination of the President.
As the genuine prOgreSSiveS are
to Taft's denomination,
they. are nOt7dispOsed to take any
chances of being miSrepresented.
Popular Elections Endangered
The resolution providing for
the election of United States SEN
people, failed to receive the CON
atOrS by the direct vote of the
currence of the House because Of
the Senate amendment retaining
federal control over elections.

probably have defeated ratifica-
ton by the necessary three-fOurth

accepted it, was tackled on the

eryday business methods. The cues
tion is whether we have competitive
ethics in business. Competition has
an open market in which there Is no
favor. But whether competition
shall continue depends largely on
whether we are playing the game fa1r-
ly. If we are not, then there are
no ethics in business.
ssThe development Of business has
been such that there is no longer
personal factor in business transac-
TONS Fifty years ago there was
personal feeling between the buyer
and the seller. With the advent OF
the manufacturing age man has been
taken out of touch from his neigh
Dor. Fifty years ago friendship was
a great factor in all business dealings.
s"To-day this is all changed. With
the new order of things has come a
complete change in moral, intellectual
and religious standards.
'There must be a moral standard In
business ethics to deal with the man
who adulterates milk, and in doing so
not only violates the law and cheats
those who pay him but who may by
his act be the means of killing many
innocent children. The man who
substitutes iron filings for cork In
life preservers is worse than any
known thief or murderer.
s"There must be a way to fix moral
responsibility. These conditions must
be dealt with in new laws and new
standards, for we are ever changing.
we must assume a different attitude
toward riches. It should be not how
much a man is worth, but rather
how much worth is in q man."

Washington. March 9-Representa-
tive James McLachlan, Rep. Cal.),
who is the author Of extensive mill
tary measures. gave out the following
statement, today
(By Rep. James McLach1an)
While regret that the maneouvers
are not to be held on the Pacific
coast which, in the difficulties oe
transportation for men, equipment
and supplies would have been much
more severe test for the army and
navy than the one more likely to oc-
cur, yet the mobilization Of practical
ly our entire mobile force on the Mex
lean border in measure, Is a fair
test of the efficiency of our staff in
the departments.
In a mobilization on the Mexican
frontier difficulties encountered in a
similar action on the Pacific coast
would not be met with. However, I
cannot find words to express my graf
ification that the military authorities
have decided to put the present ma
chinery of our military establishment
to real test. My heart is with the
army. This is the very training that
have always advocated. We have
stripped our entire country Of our
mobile force to place a single division
on the Mexican border. Our military
establishm emit is strained to carry this
feat through to a successful ISSUE
This, in itself, carries a lesson. It
is my sincere hope that at the con-
clusion of this maneuver the military
authorities will frankly make public
any and all weaknesses which may be
developed. Congress can then intelli-
gently take up the matter of army
reorganization. I await the resun
with intense interest. Let the truth
be known

BREACHES AGAINST

New Standards and New

New York, March 9.-In his lee
ture at Carnegie Hall recently, Rev.
DR.. Stephen S. Wise said that a great
factor in the liberalization of society
today is questionable business meth
DDS. He asserted that society as a
whole was a slave to business. In
part he said:
1T seems to be the general i'm
preston nowadays that there is some
thing dishonest about business meth
DDS and business dealings. Bribery
constitutes a great part of business
transactions I believe that there is
a sickening amount Of bribery now
going on in the business world"
DR.. Wise cited a case of man
who refused to continue in business
because he could not tolerate the sor-
did conditions that existed

rArrs ENDORSEMENT
OF BALLINGER

Had Secretary Ballinger resigned
previous to- the November elections.
he would undoubtedly have benefited
his party. His retention OF of1lce'
after having been found guilty of the
Pinchot and CLAWS charges by the
minority of Congressional investi-
eating committee. though acquitted
by the majority on the ground of not
proven, placed heavy weight upon
his party in the campaign of 1910.
The refusal of Congress to take action
upon these reports did not lessen the
weight. hut really tended to confirm
ia somewhat current impression that
the Interior Department was not In
safe hands.
President Taft has not strengthened
himself By the language of his accept
ance Of Ballinger's resignation. He
refers to the attack upon the Secre-
tary as "a malicious and unprincipled
plan" which. ''paraded before body
of headline readers. served to blacken
your character. intimates that Pin
cfaot and CLAWS plume themselves
like the Pharisees Of old as the only
pure members of society. and states
a belief that he cTaft) was and am
the ultimate object Of attack. What
ever may have been the previous fact.
President Taft now stands closely
identified with the case Of his late
Cabinet member.
Ex-Secretary Ba11inger announces
that he intends to prosecute the arch
lconspirators who have been following
me with the assassin's knife. They
| will probably welcome such action by
him. If he is~really sincere.
His successor. Walter L. Fisher Of
Chicago. is one Of Clifford Pinchors
close friends reformer and an advo-
cate Of conservation. In fact. the
indications are that he should be
classed az Progressive. 1t may be
that President Taft is seeking. through
this appointment. Progressive favor

interest. the action of the Interior
Department upon pending Alaskan
land claims. provided Ballinger did not

MUzzLE LAW FOR
The NEWSPAPERS
Charles 6. Morris Of New Haven
Appears For the Bill
HEARING ON REGULATION
OF STOCK TRANSFERS

Hartford. March 9EThe judiciary
committee yesterday heard Charles G.
Morris of New Haven in favor Of a
bill which prohibits any newspaper
In the State from printing the likeness
of any police officer during his term
Of service or from printing the ac-
count of any crime except an official
account given out by some person
resignated for the purpose by the
chief of police or first selectman or
from printing the name of any per-
son or persons suspected by the police
of the crime until the police shall
have said that they have arrested all
whom they suspect or else that the
criminals have escaped.
It was said that the bill was drawn
by States Attorney A. "A. Alling, but
Mr.. Morris championed it and said
that the newspapers frequently aid in
the escape of criminals. He cited one
or two alleged cases in New Haven
and. going further afield, said that the
authorities were greatly hampered in
the capture OF w. r. Walker the New
Britain defaulter, by the work Of the
newspapers and that like trouble had
been experienced in the Ruef case in
San Francisco. Mr.. Morris left for
the committees information clippings
which, he said, would Illustrate the
points he desired to make. e. G. Ter
ry, New Haven lawyer, opposed the
bill as did a Hartford man, while Mr.
Morris said that he could prove what
he said by the files of any daily pa
per in the State.
The committee spent most of it's
afternoon in hearing bills regarding
bills of lading and stock transfers
drafted by the commission on uni
formity of State legislation. Ta1cott
II. Russell for the commission and
Judge A. Heaton Robertson for GER
tain New Haven banks, appeared for
the bills and answered many questions
by the committee who felt that the
passage of the stock transfer bill
might work against creditors who
might try to get execution Of q judg-
ment in which stock had been attach
ed.
Representative Kenna of New Ha-
ven was heard for a bill providing for
the nomination Of judges Of minor
courts by the Governor on the same
plan as that of Superior court judges.
H H. Spooner of Kensington was
heard for a bill which creates the Of
flee Of State prosecutor. who shall
work with the State police and have
jurisdiction In all the minor courts
of the State. An appearance was also
made for bill prohibiting any one
but lawyers giving legal advice for
hire, and an appearance was made
for bill modifying the present law
regarding the service of civil pro-
cesses.

Argentina is the largest producer of
beef cattle in South America, and it
is reported that our beef packers have
secured control of about one-half of
the supply. Should the Canadian
reciprocity agreement be accepted by
Congress. they will probably proceed
to capture control of the Canadian
cattle ranches. This country's mar
kets are exceedingly profitable to the
Beef Trust. and 1t will not lose con-
troll of them If heavy expenditures in
Argentina and Canada will serve to
bar out competition.

means of our boot straps; a tendency
that has much to do with recent de-
rangement and came near creating a
serious crisis by placing the United
States upon level dangerously higher
than foreign countries
The commissions decision was not
avowedly based upon this view,
though 1t might well have been taken
into consideration or even used as the
chief basis of the refusal to allow
increased rates. But Mr.. Clews is
unquestionably right in his statement
that increased freight rates would
mean higher cost of living; in fact,
no small part of the present high cost
may be traced to the heavily water
ed'' capitalization of most of the great
railroad systems.

THE FIVE WISER
THAN THE FOURTEEN

THAN Vt1E EOUtfIEEIN
The confirmation Of Gov. Baldwin's
nomination Of Mansfield for Insur-
ance Commissioner was effected
through the aid Of five Republican
lSenators. A majority Of the commit
tee on Executive Nominations reported
against confirmation. and majority
sof the Republican Senator's voted
against It. But there were five Re-
publicans who evidently believed that
the people when they placed Judge
Baldwin In the Governorship. desired
him to DO as he has done in this
case, viz, exercise his own Judgment.
He evidently believed Mr.. Mansfield a
better man for the office than the
Echairman Of the Republican Town
iCommittee Of New Haven. an active
politician. He might have believed
that the Republican practice Of piac-
ing active politicians In supervision
over wealthy corporations was OF evil
tendency.
| Republican State Chairman Kenealy
recently denied with much emphasis
"a report that the State Committee had
urged n-confirmation Of Gov. Bald
wins nominations. Commenting there
upon. the Stamford Advocate said last
week:
/. Mr.. Kenealy. voicing not only his
iown opinion but that of the commit
Itee. took occasion to say that the
jSenate should be governed by higher
motives than partisan ones in its ac-
ftion upon appointments. The Cover
nor Is clothed with the power of ap-
tpointment. and his appointees should
be confirmed. without regard to their
lparty affiliations. If they are compe-
tent to perform acceptable service to
the State. 1t Is generally realized. for
example, that there, has been wide
spread dissatisfaction with the con-
duct of the State Road Department.
For Republican Senators to refus; to
confirm, for Highway Commissioners,
an appointee of the Governor who Is
more competent. merely in order to
keep a popular but unsatisfactory man
in office. would be to court defeat
next year.
Mr.. Kenealy is willing to go further.
and to express the opinion that a Re-
publican majority in the Common
Council should either confirm the APP
pointees of a Mayor who is not of
their political faith. or state their
reasons for their refusal to do so.
That he would not regard as a suf-
ficient reason the desire to keep an
incumbent in office as "hold-over'' +.
or to reject an appointee because he
is not of their political faith, goes
without saying for a different posi-
ton would not be consistent either
with notions of fairness or of good
politics.
AS may be noted, Mr.. Kenealy's
position is in harmony with that of
the five Republican Senators who
voted to confirm the Mansfield nomi-
nation.
