M THE FIRST NEED.

TESOR the Democratic national convention which will assemble
Ii at Baltimore tomorrow the first and most imperative
consideration is harmony, and it is essential that it should
begin with the temporary organization. To many intelligent
observers the opposition to Senator Root for temporary chair
man at Chicago was unnecessary, a tactical blunder and harmful
to the Progressives. Root had no personal claim upon the Re
publican convention. Judge Parker has such a claim at Balti
more. He was the party candidate in 1904 and has received no
party honors since. Recognition of him for the performance of
a temporary duty in a conspicuous position could not affect any
candidates chances, since the Office carries no power, the chair
man merely expressing the conventions will. Moreover, Judge
Parker is not identified with any candidacy, and the chairman
ship would not promote the interests of any. On the other hand,
a fight against Parker will heat the Democratic fighting blood,
stir up sectional animosities and produce a situation analogous
to that when the Republican convention met at Chicago, with
perhaps unhappy results. 1t is an axiom of American politics
that the Democratic party when it is presented with a "sure
thing" can always be expected to blunder. That is why the
organization is caricatured as a donkey. If the Baltimore con
venion this week escapes the donkey trick in its temporary
organization there will indeed be hope that it will proceed to
realize the splendid prospects opened for the Democracy after
many years of adversely.

THE OLD TICKET SPELLS DEFEAT.

IT T is the old ticket, the old gang and the old promise, made
Ii only to be broken. On a platform which, with monumental
impudence, denounces special privilege and monopoly, a ma
iority by the grace of fraud in the Republican convention asks
the nation to reflect Taft, the faithful champion of those abhor-
rent influences, and Sherman, a reactionary of still more pro-
nounccd type. The election of Taft and Sherman would mean
but one life between tariff reform and the veto power of the
finest old crusted Tory of them all, the high priest of sacrosanct
high protection, the close ally of Aldrch and Cannon. Reaction.
AIRY Republicanism in naming the old ticket has made the assur-
ance Of defeat doubly sure. 1t has opened wide the door of
Democratic opportunity at Baltimore.

SLIGHTLY

George Westinghouse, the famous in
veiftor and manufacturer, Is a firm be-
lever in the excellence of his products.
The story is told that a letter received
some years ago by the Westinghouse
Machine Company said that the writer
had been using one of its standard vertl-
cal engines with eminent satisfaction.
For eight years it had been in continu-
GUS service night and day, handling its
load without a hint of trouble, but that
upon shutting it down the other eve
ming 1t went all to pieces" The letter
was passed to the eminent inventor
whose name the company bears, and
handed back with the remark: ASK the
blame fool what he shut 1t down for
Power.

PLATFORMS VS.. PERFORMANCES.

ca HE platform of the Republican national convention in 1908
Ii was violated in letter and spirit by the Taft administra-
ton, and as a consequence the enormous evils of trusts,
high prices and insolent privilege have grown and swollen be-
yond endurance. What faith can the people give to any of the
Iabored promises in the Chicago platform, put there by the men
who cynically treated the 1908 platform as waste paper? The
dishonesty of the Chicago document sticks out, too, in every
section. The tariff declaration is contemplate, but the writers
of this wreched plank must have been guitly conscious of the
fact that tariff reform was promised, by them four years ago
and that today the nation is oppressed by a worse tariff law
than then existed, and has in the last four years been compelled
to pay hundreds of millions of tribute wrung from the people
TO enrich special interests.

should Enforce Ordinance.

should Enforce Ordinance.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
1t might be well to call the atten-
ton of drivers and chauffeurs to a
city ordinance which says vehicles
must not pass within six feet of a
trolley car that is taking on or dis
charging passengers.
While boarding a trolley a at-the
Four Corners one morning recently
several people had a narrow escape
from being run down by a grocer's
wagon, the driver of which tried to
pass an open car. The only thing
that saved them was the fact that
they were all men and leaped on the
running board in the nick of time.
The driver might have been placed
under arrest, put the men were
anxious to cath a train at the Market
street depot, and SO did not make a
complaint. When told about the
ordinance the driver used vile Ian
suage in the presence of many women
and children who were on the ear.

THE INCREASING TOLL OF FIRE.

Az HY must the average North American have between 81
wy and So of his property burned up every year. while the
Europeans annual tribute is only forty cents? Our
Canadian n~eighbors share this bad eminence with us. Fire
losses last year in the United States and the Dominion We're
S234, 100000, according to the New York State insurance depart
ment. This appalling item of waste among the most wasteful
people on earth goes on increasing, and the organization here
and there of fire prevention bureaus has yet lad no effect upon
the general result. Preventable losses in America by fire, flood,
disease and accident represent millions of lives and billions OF
dollars. 1t is a national disgrace.

THE FLAT WHEEL NUISANCE.

NAME of the evils that will be done away with when public
w utility regulation becomes all that it should be is the
fat wheel on street cars. 1t is torture to the nerves of
passengers and the ears of dwellers along the route. The trolley
cars make noise enough at best, without having added to their
roar and rumble a Earring clash like that of a pile of loose metal
on a passing truck. There is no excuse for running fat-wheeled
cars. 1t is not even good economy, for it tends to put the rest
of the machinery out of gear and it takes more power to run
such a car than one in good order. The State Utilities Commits.
son ought to have power to insist on circular wheels for street
cars and enforce the rule by severe penalties.

when scientists piner.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
I am glad to hear that telephone
mouthpieces are free from germs (ac-
cording to some seientists), but it
raises a doubt in my mind as to
whether the scientists know what
they are talking about. First, one
declares. after numerous experiments,
that germs are contained in this
thing or that; another comes out with
a statement which c~ontradicts the
first. The newspapers believe first
one and then the other. The public
does not know which Is right. 1T
will lead to a general disbelief in all
their findings, whether they are of
benefit or not. HELLO.

DINNER STORIES.

Mr.. a, who was planning to
build an outdoor sleeping porch at the
back of his house, had IN expensive
new saw sent home from a hardware
store. He left his office early the next
afternoon, with the intention of get
ting the porch well under way be-
fore dinner; and, as he was very
much interested in doing the work
himself, he donned a pair of overalls
and vent at it in good spirits. An
hour or so later he came tramping
into the house. his face dark with ex-
ASPIRATION, and flung himself down
in disgust.
THAT new saw 1 bought isn't worth
Ave cents he stormed. why, the
thing won't cut butteri"
His small son, Tommy, looked up in
wide-eyed surprise.
''Oh, yes, 1T would. daddy" he said,
earnestly; why, Ted and l sawed a
whole brick in two with it just this
morning."
A new congressman, having been
elected to fill a vacancy, blew into
Washington early in December. He
was assigned to a room in the house
Office building. On the morning fol-
lowing his induction into the house
building he went to his own office.
AS soon as he entered the room he
emitted a loud roar
"Police!" he shouted "Murder!"
Help!'
They came running from all direc-
lions What's the natter" they
asked.
why" he shouted, when I left
this room last night there was a
grand new typewriting machine
standing there on that desk. and
when l came in this morning 1t was
gone. 1t has disappeared. Somebody
has stolen it. / demand a detective to
trace down this foul crime"
So they had a look and discovered
that the desk on which the type
writer stood had one of those disap-
pearing devices and that somebody
had come along and turned the type
writer down into the bowels of the
desk.

RATHER

An "Uncle Toms Cabin" company
was starting to parade In a small New
England town when a big gander from
a farmyard near at hand waddled to the
middle of the street and began to hiss.
One of the double-in brass actors
turned toward the fowl and angrily
exclaimed:
Don't be so quick to jump at con
illusions. Wait TIL you see the show."i

PREMATURE

Senator Tillman, with his accustomed

in Washington. One question, however.
caused him to say with a laugh: well,
that question is premature. It's like the
remark of little Tommy.
Tommy, whenever a visitor came to-
the house, would have his head patted
and then the visitor would say:
well, whose little boy are your
Tommy, after a while, thought he
would try his hand at this sort of thing
himself and one evening when a young
man sat In the parlor with his sister,
Tommy tapped him on the head and
piped:

COMPULSORY ENGLISH FOR MILL HANDS.

NAME of the arguments heard in favor of a law to bar immi-
w grants who do not understand English is that many
foreigners come over here with no intention of remain
ing. They only want to get together a certain amount of money
and then 90 back to the old country. Some New England Mill
owners have found a way of meeting this difficulty without ask
ing the nation to reverse its timehonored liberal policy of en-
couraging industrious white men, of whatever race or language,
to cast their lot here. These manufacturers have found that the
operative from Continental Europe is apt to botch a job because
Ire does not understand the directions, so they have posted
notices giving their employees six months to learn English
enough to know what their foremen are telling them about their
work. There is no patriotism about the action of these mill
owners. 1t is pure business. But this sort of compulsory edu-
cation seems calculated to meet one objection to non English
speaking immigration without violating a cardinal principle of
the republic.
