A Premature Death Notice.

At Montgomery, Ala, Mr.. Roosevelt
asked his hearers to compare the pro-
gressive platform with the democratic
platform. II don't ask you to compare it
with the republican platform, because the
republican party is dead confident
and even jaunty assertion, and charac-
teristic of the man who thinks he killed
Cock Robin.
But is Cock Robin dead? What are
the evidences? Mr.. Roosevelt's unsupport-
ed assertion is not sufficient to secure
burial permit.
At Chicago in June the republican party
in regular form adopted a platform and
nominated presidential ticket and the
action taken has been Endorsed by repub-
licans in good standing in every state of
the Union. Many of the men who stood
by Mr.. Roosevelt when he was repub-
lican, and helpted him make success of
his two administrations as President, are
supporting Mr. Taft. Mr.. Lodge and Mr..
Crane of Massachusetts, Mr.. Root and
Mr.. Depew of New York, Mr.. Fairbanks
of Indiana and Mr.. Cannon of Illinois
are among the number.
It is true there was a bolt and Mr..
Roosevelt led it. Failing to control the
lied one that would do his bidding. and
became it's nominee. He renounced his
republicanism and put on RooseveItsm,
and some men of prominence hitherto
republicans applauded him and pledged
him support.
But that was not the death knen of the
republican party. At most it was but an
assault on the party by those who had
professed its principles and been honored
by it's favor. They owed their prominence
in affairs to the organization they were
now enlisted to destroy.
Mr.. Roosevelt and his aggregation of
trust agents. small but aspiring bosses,
men striving to hold on to Office, or to
recover office recently lost, will be de-
feated next month, and must then take
account of where they are. If Mr.. Will
son is elected they will have helped to
bring about the result, and if he and his
combination fail in. Office and business
uncertainty produces hard times, the So
called progressives will be held partly re-
sponsible by the country.
Meanwhile the republican party, though
out of power, will be intact. Those who
stood by the colors in the storm will be
known and respected by the organization,
and in charge of its machinery Cock

may prove to be a very live bird again,

devices that 1t is no wonder he fails to
grasp the exact status of any unit of
security or the relation Of the whole to

because he is unintelligent. He is simply
expecting a straightforward, plain. COM
prehensible plan that will provide funds
for business which If economically man
aged will yield its promoters a profit and
the public a good and steadily better
service.
The day is long gone by when the pub
lies interest can be ignored by the pro-
moters of projects of this character The
basic necessity of all such enterprises Is
the public consent to the use of the
streets. These are not like private bust

not merely as to routes and rates, but as
to the terms on which the organization
is formed and the financial basis upon
which rates and service must ultimately
depend. That is why at this time the
District is SO keenly interested in and so
frankly dstrustful Of the proposed re-
financing of certain of it's utilities cor
porations and why it protests against
hurrying toward contamination in the alb
sence of a public utilities commission or
some other mode of supervision which
will prevent overcapitalization and fu-
ture trouble And that is the sole rea-
son why the explanations that have been
offered do not explain and are not &C
ceptable to the community.

mo God, No Master.
from the Boston Transcript

When the peace of Sabbath day is
broken by clamorous crowd Of men and
women marching, in proclaimed defiance
of both God and constituted authority,
which was the demonstration that again
threw Lawrence yesterday into turmoil
of violence, the situation is one of unusu-
al seriousness. 1t takes us back to the
days of the primeval man and social
chaos. 1t serves notice upon twentieth
century civilization that it iS confronted
with Il problem that will not admit OF
tempOrizing. The aspect of the present
strike or outbreak is an entirely different
one from that which early in the year in
troduced into that city and into the So
cial and industrial conflicts of the time
an entirely new element. an element that
now for the first time declares itself in
dependent of all standards of human re-
sponsbility. NO God, no MASTER" is it's
shbboleth. 1t is incarnated and concen-
trated passion, without guidance, almost
without purpose and without restraint, so
far as there is any internal influence to
exercise it.

Three Terms Even Six!

One of the speakers at a bull moose
rally at Capitol Heights. Md, last night
in the fervor of characteristic Roose-
veltian enthusiasm said that the third
term talk was ''all humbug.'' and asked:
''If he is a good President why not have
him six terms?'
Here We get the real gist of the Roose-
welt proposition. The colonel himself
makes no such bad break as to suggest a
twenty-four-year period of service as
President, but there are those who with
out real prejudice feel that he is by no
means averse to the thought of unin-
terrupted occupancy of the White House.
IF he is good President why not six
terms?" Simply for the reason that no
one can possibly be as good a President
as all that. Not even Theodore Roose-
welt. with all his virtues, all his wisdom
all his absolute honesty, all his unim-
peachable truthfulness, all his unselfisb-
ness.
OF course, those who ask this six-term
question honestly think that Col Roose-
welt is the greatest man who ever lived
They believe he is incapable of making a
mistake. They think he is the only man
who can save the country from the per-
nicious influences that now beset it. They
regard him as the last hope of the down.
trodden and the embodiment of the es-
sential principle Of American liberty and
progress. So they cannot possibly see
any conceivable harm to any honest in
terest I'm turning over to him the reins
of office without limit of time or condi-
ton.
Just how many American voters are
there who believe that Theodore Roose-
welt is all this and that George Wush-

Roosevelt and Hartman.

Did Mr. Roosevelt personally solicit the
Hartman contribution of a quarter mil
lion dollars to the republican campaign
fund of 1904?
Is there anything at all improbable
about the assertion that he did? Core
spondence and other testimony show that
the two men were on intimate personal
and political terms Mr.. Hartman was
a welcome visitor at the White House.
and was consulted about party policies
and appointments. On one occasion Mr..
Roosevelt would gladly have sent Mr..
Hartman an advance copy of his mes
sage to Congress except for the danger
of premature publication.
Now, in the name of all that is pure
and truly progressive, why, in the thick
of a campaign for reelection, when
money for legitimate expenses was neces-
sary and Mr.. Hartman commanded by
possession and credits so much of the
stuff, should not Mr.. Roosevelt have APP
pealed TO his friend for aid?
OF course. he did. and got a pile. Mr..
Hartman was a cheerful giver, especially
when there seemed something in it for
him. He was a student of men and
values, and canny individual about
looking out for number one.
In this case. however, he seems to have
tripped. He cast his bread upon the
waters. but it did not return. After many
days of waiting he complained. and then
the story began to unfold itself. Yester-
days instaliments were interesting, and
the Witnesses that furnished them are to
be recalled. Something quite as interest
ing may come out later.
Much speculation has played around the
break between MIR. Roosevelt and Mr..
blame?
1t is anybody's guess, but some have
guessed that Mr.. Roosevelt felt offended
when he found he had been misled about
the New York situation. Neither the
presidential nor the state ticket had ever
been in danger. Judge Parker had never
had chance. and while Mr.. Odell had
never been as strong as Mr.. Roosevelt, he
,iad never been in fear of defeat And
yet within a few weeks of election day
Mr.. Hartman had all but scared Mr.
Roosevelt out of his boots.
When Mr. Roosevelt discovered this he
was touched on the raw. AS a master
politician he should have known the stu
alton at home thoroughly. And yet a
mere railroad magnate. with an ak to
grind, had at the eleventh hour raised
goose flesh all over his strenuous person,
in an effort to appear as the saver of the
party.
Hell hath no fury like woman scorned
And woman scorned has nothing in the
way OF fury on master politician who
feels he has been buncoed

Why the Public Doubts.

The promoters of the corporation which
is designed to refinance. il not to merge,
the local public utilities seem annoyed to
md that the people of Washington fail
TO understand their motives and persist
in regarding their enterprise as inimical
to the public interests. In such explana-
tons as they have given of their pro-
posed organization they take exceptions
first to the suggestion that there is any
thing hostile to the welfare of the COM
munity in the new company and second
to the idea that because 1t has been given
an extremely wide margin Of capitalize
ton their plan is to go at once to the
limit. But in none Of their explanations
is there a word Of such specific elucida-
ton as to allay the very natural appre-
heusion Of the people. They speak of ex-
tensions and improvements that must be
financed. but give no specifications Of
what is contemplated in this direction
and refer to no acts of Congress which
authorize or compel improvements that
call for large additional capital They
refer to the fact that money must be pro-
vided to discharge certain bonded obliga-
tons without explanation how it happens
that there are no sinking fund provisions
for the discharge OF these debts already
incurred. In short, none OF the explana-
tons SO far given has really convinced
the public that there is any necessity for
the refnancing OF the local corporations
on such a scale as that indicated and no
safeguard whatsoever against overcapi-
talization with consequent serious ad-
dition to the overhead charge upon the
revenues of the corporations
Much of the distrust with which the
people today view large financial trans
actions directly affecting their daily
necessities, In the management of street
railroad. lighting and power companies
is caused by the highly complicated
modes adopted by promoters and finan-
ciers. The average man is so simple
minded as to think that 1t is sufficient in
floating public service corporation to
sell stock to secure the original capital
and then to issue bonds for the extraor-
binary permanent improvements that are
to produce revenue in the future. But he
sees a great deal of so-called high
finance in practically every one of these
operations, with multiplicity of stock
issues. with preferential securities, with
holding companies and with super-holding
companies. with exchanges Of stock on
different scales of equivalents. with bonds
issued to take care of prior bonds and

Declines to Die.
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
The obstinate refusal of the republican
party to die is we'll nigh like flying in
the face of Providence. Besides, 1t is a
fiat defiance of the highest medical au-
thOrity. Good DR.. Roosevelt Saturday
pronounced the republican party dead,
secundum artem He listened for it's heart
beats. held a mirror to its lips, and then
turned to his southern audience with the
verdict: THE republican party is dead"
But the party itself persists in saying
that, like the Irishman, it may be dead
but is not conscious of it. 1t has a will
to live which. after DR.. Roosevelt's SEN
tence of death, is positively wicked Why
can it not be resigned and give up the
struggle? Instead, we see it acting as if
1t were very much alive-holding conven-
tions, making nominations, raising money,
working like beavers, even pretending to
be cheerful. President Taft actually has
the impudence to assert that it is the
third party which is dying. and that the
republicans are getting more vigorous and
hopeful every day.
