Cox and Coxism.

George B. Cox having Withdrawn from
Cincinnati politics. there Is demand that
his Iieutenants follow suit. This Is ex-
pressed in plain terms by the leading re-
publican newspaper Of that city, which is
owned and controlled by Charles p. Taft.
The thought Is TO clear the decks for the
great battle Of next year.
1t Is a reasonable demand. Since Cox is
outfit he Is out-because of Coxism, what
excuse is there for Coxism? Why not
grub it up by the roots. and plant some
thing OF a better nature in Its place?

The Maine.

For some weeks past reports have
come from Havana to the effect that eyi.
dence had been obtained clearly proving
that the Maine was destroyed by an ex-
terror explosion. and now word is received
that the inspection board is about ready
TO start home. having been finally con-
WINGED of this fact. 1t has been found
that the outside skin of the ship was
blown inward and doubled over from port
10 starboard by a blow that could only
nave come from outside of the vessel
Then occurred a secondary explosion,
doubtless caused by the first, which drove
parts of the vessel outward deep into the
mud. Much stress has always been laid
upon the fact that there were signs of
an interior explosion, and these were ac-
eepted by those not conversant with the
original findings in 1895 as proof that the
ship vas victim of accident or care
lessness within her own precincts. In
point of fact il has never been disputed
that there was an interior explosion.
caused by the defamation from without.
Any evidence of a crushing of the vessel
inward may be accepted as proof that the
first shock came from an external force
and this fact will probably be set forth
in the report soon to be made. 1t is to
be hoped that it will have finally con-
yincing force, to set permanently at rest
all question as 10 the cause of the
Names destruction, whatever may eveh-
tually develop as to the responsibilities fol-

ture in the metropolis la the suggestion
that Tammany is a permanency. The
Crokers and the Murphys come and 60.
but Tammany remains. The tough ele-
ment Of the town has been taught to get
together and hold together. An appetite
has been created, and insists upon the
familiar nourishment.
Just now there is great displeasure with
Charles r. Murphy. and the organization
to q degree shares in it. Not that Mr..
Murphy's aims or methods are objection
able, but because they have recently
failed to produce 1.-The goods" Tammany
has been losing. The boys" have not
been getting their share of what they call
''plunder," and "plunder' Is primarily
their object. So that If Mr.. Murphy were
turned out of doors tomorrow. his sue
cessor, In order to grip the organization
effectively, would have to guide by the
traditions, and improve on Mr.. Murphy's
record only to the extent of securing
larger share of 1.-The goods" for the rank
aud file. He could change the skin OF the
Ethiopian. or the spots of the leopard, as
easily as he could the stripes of the tiger.
Still, discouraging as things are, the
fight against bosses and bossism goes OH,
and should go on. Much would be gained
if those who profess and call themselves
reformers possessed staying qualities and
held to one course. But now they are
against the bosses, and now with them.
This year the bosses all along the line
were knocked out In good style. But like
as not the Murphys, the CoXes, the
Mahons and all the rest will be In husky
trim next year, and coddled to the nth
degree by many of those now assailing
them.

The Roosevelt Movement.

Mr. Roosevelt may cry desist, but there
will be no desisting. The anti-Taft re-
publicans will continue to use his name
1t spells more with them than any other
name, and hence they may be expected
to capitalize it at the top figure within
their power.
AS Mr. Roosevelt knows, and as others
can see, this movement in his, name Is
in the hands Of a strange combination.
Here may be found a man who has al
ways been a Roosevelt follower. He
wanted him in 1904, when there was talk
Of a new leader, to be picked by
Mark Hanna. With this man then 1t
was Roosevelt against the world.
There may be found a man who has
never before been for Mr.. Roosevelt. He
opposed the vice presidential nomination
in 1900. He was for anybody but Roose-
welt In 1904. Between 1904 and 1908 he
subscribed to everything. in the way of
condemnation that was spoken Of Mr.
Roosevelts course in ONCE. And in 1908,
when Mr.. Taft was nominated and
elected. he Kept a day, appointed by
himself, of thanksgiving and prayer, in
consideration of the new era that he
thought was opening.
Yonder may be found mamie
usually shows up in our politics-who
has never been either hot or cold
about Mr.. Roosevelt. He is only milk
warm for him today. But he is
marching along with the others. and
is counted in the anti-Taft poll. In
his mild and languid way he wants.
or thinks he wants, Mr.. Roosevelt back
again.

give any man pause. The more ex-
perienced, the more likely he would
be to deplore its activities. Guiding
such a team Is impossible. and left to
its own devices 1t is liable to take
the wrong direction and smash things.
Interest in this movement is aug
mented by the recollection of what
took place In 1908, when, in opposition
to Mr.. Roosevelts declared wishes,
there were republicans who tried to
sidetrack Mr.. Taft and renominate
him. Some OF them went to the ma
tional convention. in the hope, and for
the purpose, OF stampeding that body
for the old ticket of Roosevelt and
Fairbanks. But, as President, Mr..
Roosevelt possessed large powers Of
repression, and he exercised them in
the interests Of his party and the man
he himself favored for the nomina-
ton. But those powers passed with
his Office. and now when similar tao
tics are shaping he can but protest.
The Presidents friends, 1t is highly
probable. know all that is going on,
and in contemplation. prejudicial to

who are for him all against him and

Mr.. Hearst on the Situation.

The interview with William H. Hearst
which The Star has reproduced in two
installments from the Chicago Record
Herald, is, all things considered, the
most comprehensive and interesting de-
uverance of the day on the political stu
alton. There is not politician in either
of the old parties. or outside of both,
who may not find in it something worthy
OF his attention and reflection.
Progressiveness, as Mr.. Hearst ap-
praises matters, is the issue. The other
issues SO much in the prints and in the
mouths of men are only incidental.
Progress is the thing Not progress as
to the tariff alone, or the trusts. or the
railroads, or the currency, but progress
all along the line. Mr.. Hearst stands
upon the proposition that the Interests"
have long been in control of affairs, and
that the people are now on the move to
dethrone them. He expects that result
at the next election.
1t is the democracy's opportunity. Mr..
Taft Is tagged as a reactionary. and Mr..
Hearst considers him as good as re-
nominated. Then, if the democracy is
equal to the emergency. it VIII nominate a
progressive, and sweep the country. In
Mr.. Hearst's opinion either Speaker Clark
Unfortunately. he does not name the men
who would not He overlooked-for some
reason-Gov. Wilson, Gov. Foss, Gov.
Marshall and the Hon. William J.. Bryan
of Nebraska.
In the matter of third ticket, Mr..
Hearst cannot see one unless the de-
mocracy makes an unfortunate nomina-
ton. With the republicans led by Mr..
dictionary, a nomination in the peoples
behalf would be necessary, and would be
made. No name is suggested by the New
York editor.
In that event might we not see a con-
test for the honor between Mr.. Hearst
himself and Mr.. La Toilette? II the
democratic progressives should leave
their party because Of . reactionary
nomination and the republican progress
ives their party because Of Mr.. Taft's
denomination. what two men would be SO
prominent in q movement for a union OF
the two protesting forces for action at
the polls:
La Toilette. or La Toilette and Hearst,
be the outcome? That would be progress
iveness spelled with capital P. The
name would be blown in the bottle. The
ticket would be of crimson color, so that
the voter who ran could read.
The return Of Mr.. Hearst to the ranks
of the democracy has already added 10
the industry Of that organization, and
the next six months should show much
more in the same line. He sulked In 1904.
and fired in the air In 1908. but his pur-
pose as to next year is evidently serious,
and both his views and his activities will
be followed with interest.

Gold Stories From Alaska.

The Government and Good Roads.

The advocates of federal appropria-

Roads Congress in Richmond the other
day. despite the energetic fight in oppo-
sition made by the opponents of the
policy. The victory carries with 1t moth
ing more than recommendatory force. Of
course. yet IT points the way to what Is
bound to be political question Of inn
portance within the next few years. APP
parently the opponents of federal aid
for highways are about century late in
their protests The matter was decided
when the building of the Cumberland ma
tional road was undertaken. That estab-
lished the principle We deplore the
United States for aid in great enter
prises instead Of looking to their own
state governments. But the precedent
has been set. A fight now Is useless, as
must be apparent to everybody. That Is
why we feel safe In predicting that be-
fore decade has passed the United
States will be engaged in a vast and
comprehensive system Of bodybuilding
and we are not disposed to deny that 1t
will be good investment.

A Survival of Witchcraft.
From the New York World.


The charge made in a cross bill filed in
an Illinois court that the plaintiff in a
divorce suit had boasted an ability to
cause death by occult power is not so
surprising as it would have been a few
years ago. The recent extraordinary
propaganda Of the doctrine of the sub
lection Of matter to mind has DEVELOPED
some old superstitions as we'll as some
new fancies and among the older beliefs
is that of the power of witchcraft, the
power to cure or kill from distance by
the exercise Of occult force. a dread of
witches Is deep-seated in the darkest
depths OF the human heart. 1t exists
seemingly among all races. There was
time in Europe when the "Sabbat.' or
BLACK Mass" a worship Of the devil
through witchcraft, was almost as potent
as the church itself. Princes and even
cardinals were suspected Of practicing It.
The cult survived down to times compare
lively recent, and at one time In New
England the fear of 1t amounted to a
panic that led to cruel prosecutions OF
harmless old women.

successful number was extremely small
when compared with the number that
sunk savings in the fraudulent and ques-
tionable concerns f1oated by tricksters

from the soil should be wary. And when

Foul.Air Fiends.

A pre- JUDGE against fresh air is one Of
the most mysterious Of human whims.
And it is also one of the most tyrannical.
The man who likes to roast and
asphyxiate himself insists On roasting
and asphyxiating every one else at the
same time. Let a normal human being
open a window in Boston restaurant,
public hall, street car or railway coach.
and at once some irate suffocator de-
mands that 1t be closed. How most Of US
do hate and fear fresh air! And how we
love the disease germs that thrive in hot,
air tight rooms and ears!
