that a convention of Socialists at
Utica, n. Y, passed a resolution de-
claring that "all churches are against
the emancipation of the working classes
and for the protection and perpetuation
of capitalism, etc." and that "all So

any and all existing churches and re-
hgtous organizations, and refrain from
all religious practices and rites" The
above statements by w. D. s. are mis-
leading and erroneous, and are not
made by true Socialists. The resolution
was not passed by a body OF Socialists,
but by anarchists who may have called
themselves Socialists.

Presidents Sister in
Philadelphia Hospital

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. st
became known today, after frequent
denials Of her presence in this city, that
Mrs. William A Edwards, only sister
of President Taft, who Is the wife Of
DR.. William Edwards, OF Los Angeles,
Cal, passed Friday and Saturday at the
German Hospital, in this city, where
she was the subject of a medical ex-
animation by DR.. John B. Beaver, .
prominent surgeon of Philadelphia
Mrs. Edwards spent the summer in
Europe and arrived in this country
early last week. She feared a serious
affection and decided to see DR.. Deaver,
who Is an expert on appendicitis.
She came to this city Friday, and. ac-
cording to DR.. Henry F. Page SUPER
tntendent of the German Hospital, was
admitted there as a private patient OF
Dr. Beaver. Mrs. Edwards left on
Saturday afternoon and went directly
to New England, presumably to visit
President Taft's family in Beverly,
Mass.
DR.. Beaver in a telephone converse
ton last night admitted that Mrs. Ed
wards had consulted him.

long and bitter fight is forced. Do the
traction lords of the Capital City fee
like estimating the shrink that would
take place in such an eventf Il
In the next place, the Cleveland
street cars have proved that the bust
ness will grow, under the impetus oi
lower fares, to the extent which is in
dicated by the discovery that the
penny charge for transfers is not now
necessary.
Finally, the Cleveland public au-
thorities, in order to inform themselves
as to the actual operating results OF
the business there, have established
a method of public audit of the bust
ness. There are no secrets of the
traction business in that town.
Do the traction companies of Wash
ington want that sort of scrutiny i'm
posed upon their business?
Cleveland boasts today of being the
sixth city of the country in population.
1t has been for fifteen years in a hard
fight for better government, better
control of its public service facilities,
more complete rule by the people.
THOSE EFFORTS, FAR FROM IN
JURING BUSINESS IN CLEVE-
LAND, HAVE BEEN ACCOMPANIED
BY A BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL
DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS MADE
CLEvELAND,S POPULATION SHOW
ING ONE OF THE WONDERS OF
THE 1910 CENSUS.
Washington is awakening to the fact
that like animated, determined con-
Germ about the real public interests of
this town will bring like results here.
The town is united and determined
to win this transfer fight. 1t is 60
ing to win; in a fight if necessary;
without a fight and accompanying bit
terness if the traction authorities are
wise enough to realize what will be
best for them.

PROFANITY IN FICTION
ON THE INCREASE ?
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
We think that it is about time to say
something in advice and warning
against the growing use of profanity
by ambitious writers of fiction. From
editors and publishers everywhere we
are hearing the same story. We like
to think that in actual life the use of
strong language is ON the wane; that
the min addicted to 1t is regarded not
only as yiOlator Of good taste, but as
a bore. Yet in the vast amount Of fic-
ton that Is offered to magazines and
publishing houses, he seems to be at
his apogee. Apparently there are a
great many persons of literary aspira-
tons who think TO, write a popular story
II is only necessary to be sufficiently
lavish with highly colored oaths. A del
icate, mature gentlewoman, with whose
personality II would be quite impossible
to associate the idea Of profanity in
any form, will bring in a manuscript.
and on almost every page we find ex-
amples of profanity. Heroes in this
sort of fiction invariably preface their
protestations of affection with an oath.
Now, against this sort of thing we have
every right to protest on the grounds
of good manners and decency. We
shall however, confine ourselves to the
purely literary aspect of the case. The
profuse use of profanity is not merely
inartistic; II stamps Enthusiastically the
beginner or the Intellectual workman.

THE SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL
CONGRESS EXHIBITS.

The formal opening Of the hall Of
exhibits of the Southern Commercial,
Congress here October 2 is an event
the Importance of which should not BIZ
overlooked by anybody interested ir
the business and commercial develop
ment of Washington. This exhibition
will set forth in striking fashion the
resources of the awakened South and
will be an indication of the manner in
which those resources are being de-
veloped.
Standing as it does at the gateway
to this new South, with its endless
capacity for commercial and industrial
production, the exhibition that the
Southern Commercial Congress will
make here has an Importance for Wash
ington that is obvious. At the same
time it may be doubted whether that
Importance is appreciated as it should
be. 1t will be the means of drawing
many visitors to Washington, and
ought to open important avenues OF
business for many lines of trade
Every commercial interest in Washing
ton should have an eye to it.
Every State in the South will have
a commodious space in the hall. Rail
roads and industrial organizations will
make magnificent exhibitions of fruits
grains, minerals, cotton, manufactured
products, and the like. The oyster
industry in Maryland and Virginia will
be set forth with good exhibits. The
interest in the exposition may be
Judged from the fact that Mississippi
Florida, and Arkansas each will fill
four large booths with their exhibits
And every one of the Southern States
is planning to make good showing.
Marvellous as is the commercial and
industrial development of all parts Of
the United States there is no phase OF
this development that is going forward
with such energy and intensity as in
the new South. Some concrete idea OF
the wonderful possibilities of this re-
gion of quickened activities will be OBJ
tainable in the hall of exhibits of the
Southern Commercial Congress. From
the standpoint of education alone, q
study of what is presented will be
more than worth while to anyone who
would know more about the United
States.

LOEB NOW LEADING
AS CHOICE FOR TAFT
CAMPAIGN MANAGER
New York Collector Regard
ed as Good Man to Win
Progressives.
By JOHN sNURE.

That Collector William Loep, Jr., of
New York. former private secretary to
the President, Is to be offered the
craftsmanship of the national Republi-
can committee and the management Of
the next Presidential campaign, is the
highly interesting news which has de-
veloped here.
The Information that Mr.. Loeb IL the
man now in the lead for the manage
ment Of the next campaign comes from
excellent sources. Providing President
Taft is renominated, something his
friends now deem certain, despite the
claims OF the insurgents, 1t is said Mr.
Loeb will be called on to be the gen.
battle which will end at the polls In
November, 1912.
Either Loeb or Hilles.
For some time, It has been the talk
here that the selection would lie be-
tween two men, Private Secretary
HiIles and Mr.. Loeb. II Mr.. Loeb
should not be chairman, there is little
doubt Mr.. Hilles would be. One good
reason why President Taft would
rather have some one else than Mr..
Hilles is that the latter has made him
self so invaluable as private secretary
that II would be embarrassing for the
President to lose his services at the
White House.
More or less talk has been heard o:
q third party movement on the part OF
the progressive Republican leaders in
case Mr.. Taft is renominated- But this
movement does not seem likely to ma
terialize.
The Progressive Problem.
But there will be thousands of dis
gruntled insurgents in the rank and file
who, If Mr.. Taft heads the ticket again,
will sulk and will &c disposed either to
STAY from :he polls or to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket This will be the case es-
pecially il Woodrow Wilson, with his
record for progressivism, is nominated
problem to keep these men in line.
One of the strong reasons for select
ing William Loeb for chairman and
manager Is that he is on good terms
with the Drogi eSsives. He Is. In fact,
a good deal Of a progressive himself.
Much of the progressivism Of Roosevelt
was due. as a matter of fact. to Loeb.
school. and especially in the school OF
which Theodore-Roosevelt was SO adj
mirable a master, there is no question
that Mr.. Loeb as Republican campaign
manager would give the Democrats a
hard run for their money. He would
come nearer winning the campaign.
prcb3 bly,. than any uther leader could.
For one thing. he would doubtless be
able to prevail on Theodore Roosevelt
to take the stump for the success of the
Republican ticket.
That Frank H Hitchcock will not be
the next :.ampaign manager is general
ly understood now.

WRITES IN DEFENSE
OF LABOR UNIONS

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
I feel justified in making a few re-
marks regarding a contribution con-
demning labor unions which I read
In your valuable paper of the TWEEN
tieth Inst. The labor unions are the
workingman's best friend" and
every good American citizen who has
the opportunity should belong to one.
The unions are not to prevent men
from working but to maintain a fair
days pay for fair days labor, and
the unions cannot be held responsible
for the actions of a few unscruplous
persons who may be in them. The
labortng man always have had and
always will have a hard time to
maintain a decent livelihood. but 1t is
due to the efforts of the unions that
he doesn't have even a harder one.
The true union man helps and not
retards the progress Of his fellow
man. And regarding strikes-who suf-
fers when the strike is on? Who pays
for the lost time; and last, but not
least, who reaps the benefit when the
strike Is won?

DEFENDS SOCIALISM,
ANWERING H. S. l.
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
H. S. L. should read and wake up.
His knowledge Of Socialism is indeed
well. I might say, practically no
knowledge at all. but let US hope that
he will at least read something upon
the subject before he tries to write
again. then feel pretty sure that H. s.
L. will find that there are others
better informed upon the subject Of
Socialism than he is, and as far as
the matrimonial question is concerned,
true Socialist as the head of a fam
fly is sure to make a happy home I
speak from everyday observations. To
be Socialist, one must be a gentle
man. loyal to his fellowman and every
thing that is honorable and noble.
am not a Socialist crank, as you
might say, but instead am a broad
minded citizen that believes in facts
and not in what the capitalists would
have me believe. H. S. L., wake up;

to look at his work? The best proof
of a workman Is the work he does
II this man Moore can lay brick what
is the difference whether he is a
