Roosevelt may go the way OF MI La
Toilette and Mr.. Cummins. And sup
pose he does. To whom will the IN
surgents next turn? Mr.. Justice Hughes
is suggested.
AS The Star stated the other day. II
compromise nomination becomes neces-
sary at Chicago, a compromise platform
must precede 1t. And what sort OF plat
form could be constructed acceptable to
the extreme insurgents which would
make the nomination of Mr. Justice
Hughes possible? He could not stand for
the initiative and referendum and the re-
CALL nor yet for even a qualified repudla-
ton of Mr.. Taft's record.
The candidate must fit the platform,
the platform the candidate. They build
in vain who lay other foundations. Mr.
Greeley's nomination at Cincinnati forty
years ago on the platform adopted was
grotesque: and the campaign destroyed
him politically. mentally and physically.
Mr.. Cleveland polling the large silver
vote Of his party in 1892 won his race,
but destroyed himself politically ana all
but wrecked the democracy. The victory
proved appalling, both fer the democracy
and the country.
Judge Parker in 1904 leading a party
arraigning Wall street as the head deVli
in all the governmental tribulat1ons OF
that day presented what is known as "a
spectacle for gods and men, The men
in overwhelming numbers rejected his
candidacy, and he landed as an attorney
in Wall streets arms.
Mr.. Justice Hughes is an attractive
man. But what sort of candidate for
President would he make supported by
men who hold, with other things. that
our courts have failed, and that radical
changes are necessary to bring them into
touch with real justice and the needs of
the people?

Course Of the Campaign.

From the New York Evening Post
1t would be premature to say that the
Roosevelt movement is failing, but the
fact Is plain to all that 1T is not going
ahead with the rush and roar predicted.
And in the colonePs case, the psychol-
ogy of the crowd is vital element. II
he does not appear to be winning, there is
imminent danger of his losing. When 1t
cannot be said that his boom Is going
strong, then 1t must be admitted that it
is going feebly. For the whole campaign
for him was based on the theory Of prai-
RE fires and earthquakes. The coun-
try was instantly to blaze and culver
when he announced his candidacy. But ii
did not, and it does not. Even the early
blare is dying away. and the delegates
continue to be instructed for Taft with
monotonous regularity.

The Recall bY Murder.

In all the history of mob violence in
this country there has never before been
such an instance of murderous contempt
for the court as that which has had such
a tragic enactment in lower Virginia.
Judges have been menaced and their as
sassination attempted, and even In few
instances they have been killed by dis
appointed, aggrieved and vengeful per-
sons, but no such wholesale slaughter
has ever occurred as that which has just
stained the state of Virginia with the
shame of an atrocious crime.
These are supposedly days of peace and
order. This is regarded as a civilized
country. Yet from time to time violence
develops in settled sections within the
shadows of the institutions of order and
good government. Prisoners whose
prompt trial and conviction and eXecu-
ton for the gravest crimes can be de-
pended upon as assured are taken from
Jail and lynched from a sheer insensate
spirit of contempt for the law and I'M
patience with its processes. Unhappily
the states have not COPIED with this evil.
In some parts of the country 1t has been
condoned as virtual necessity. until the
mob engaged in murder is as safe from
molestation as crowd of patriots cheer
ing at an Independence day celebration.
At Hillsville the tragedy enacted was.
in fact a miniature revolution. There
was no occasion for 1t; no injustice had
been perpetrated to justify resentment
against the court The man on trial
was clearly guilty Of aiding in the es-
cape of his nephews accused of highway
robbery. He was member of lawless
gang of mountaineers, and when the jury
found him guilty his partisans opened
fire with deadly effect. Now they are
being pursued and their capture or their
death is assured. They will be hunted to
earth relentlessly. and that part of the
country will be well rid of them. But
them will be adequate.
Throughout this country the doctrine Of
disregard for the courts is now being
preached. 1t may be that the proposal
for the recall of the judges has not pene-
trated into the mountains of southwest
ern Virginia and this crime at Hills
willie may have been only an extreme in
stance Of gang violence on the part of
crude lawless people. But 1t comes at
q time when 1t cannot be regarded other
wise than as an impressive demonstra-
ton Of the danger Of holding up to pub
lie view the courts OF this country as
legitimate objects Of violent denunciation
and radical attack. Certainly this shock
ing crime is calculated to give pause to
the people of the United States at this
critical juncture in their political de-
velopment.

The Greatest "World Problem.
A the Chicago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
During the British railroad strike GER
tain German newspapers criticised the
English government implying that indus
trial paralysis would never be suffered in
the better-governed Teutonic empire. The
great British coal strike has provoked no
criticism in Germany, for that country
has troubles of her own in the coal-min-
ing industry. A serious strike is on in
the Westphalian district. the efforts Of the
government having failed to avert 1t as
the efforts of the Asquith government
failed in England. In France the miners
had a little strike of political character.
just to give the government a demonstra-
ton of power. In the United States a
great miners strike is now threatened
over questions Of wages. recognition of
unionism, shorter hours. The labor prob
lem is the worlds greatest problem.

New York.

Gov. Dix and Charles F. Murphy are
at loggerheads. The trouble. OF course. is
patronage. Tammany in politics works
for its own pocket all the time. 1t gives
consideration to neither man nor measure
except as it may hope to benefit from
rendering support.
The New York campaign of 1910 pos
sessed some unusual features. Mr.. Muir
ply as democratic state leader was most
objectionable to many men in the demo-
cratic party, and to all in the independent
party For years Tammany had not as
pired to state control. Its record was so
odious a circumscribed activity had been
imposed But at Rochester two years ago
Mr. Murphy took charge of the demo-
cratic state convention, and from his
headquarters at a hotel dictated both the
platform and the ticket, and few weeks
later saw his action ratified at the polls
Protesting democrats and independents
alike were brought into camp.
republican snarl was the democratic
opportunity. Mr.. Roosevelt-drafted, as
he claimed, to make an insurgent holl-
day-had thrown his hat into the ring,
and all was uproar on the republican
side. He had been assured by his ad"
mirers that his leadership was necessary
to success, and that, with 1t, success
would be certain. Democrats in num-
bers would come over and reinforce
solid republican response.
Never was a man more thoroughly
misled as to public sentiment. The very
opposite result followed Mr.. Roosevelts
of the role of political savior.
Tammany with an untried man for
figurehead, had an easy thing. Charles
F. Murphy defeated Theodore Roosevelt
for control Of the state Of New York
Gov. Dix has had hard time in office.
Most men do who take office as he did
He knew his sponsor, and did not esteem
him. He knew the source Of his sponsors
power, and that it was VIGOROUSLY OF
color. He knew that if elected he would
have to meet his sponsors assertion OF
proprietary rights. and that, soon or late.
in the interests of his own self-respect,
he would have to rebel.
Gov. Dix has done much for Tammany-
far too much for the good of his reputa-
ton. The presidency for while seemed
to dazzle him. 1t dazzles many men, and
leads them to make strange. and now and
then discreditable, combinations. But
even Gov. Dix himself now can see that
he does not enter. and cannot be intro
duced into, the presidential calculations.
His failure at Albany has been too con-
spicuous to escape attention in any sec
ton of the country. and when New York
comes UP for discussion at Baltimore 1t
must be in connection with some candi-
dacy-probably not local-encouraging
hope of carrying the state in November.

A Prophecy.

"Jes' wait till the sun is shinin'
In summer" says Uncle Jim;
I'm rest we will be reclinin',
Such as we deserve to win.
For storm cannot last forever
And anger is bound to cool:
Repose will succeed endeavor-
That is, as a general rule.
They've started the conversation:
They've sharpened their epithets,
And the awful Interrogation
Is scattering fierce regrets.
But they're wasting their ammunition
In SO reckless and wild a way
That soon, I've a glad suspicion,
They'll have nothing at all to say"

Iniouity of the Base Ball Trust.
! the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.

From the PITTSBURGH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
The accusation that players ARE en-
shaved and forced to accept salaries or
terms, or be forever barred from play
ing" brings us to the crux of the whole
situation, or words to that effect, and
pillories the base ball trust in all Its
perfidy. 1t is another notorious fact that
PLAYERS are forced to accept niggardly
salaries ranging from 5000 to $4,000
for their strenuous labors of two or
three hours daily for six or seven months
of the year. and are compelled to travel
over the country and submit to having
their hotel bills and other expenses
paid by the trust magnates. But why
continue when the iniquity IS SO appar-
ent? The base ball trusts day of reckon
ing is now at hand. Let 'er go, Gala

Secretary knox's assurance that the
United states desires no territory south
Of the Rio Grande has had an excellent
effect in quieting the enmity among
Spanish Americans generated by the belief
that the United States Is in the mood for
indiscriminate land grabbing. There Is
no doubt that the Secretary's statement
represents not only the policy Of the ad-
ministration, of which he is the author
tied spokesman, but the sentiment of the
great majority of the American people.

It has been shown that Washington was
not the real author of his farewell ad-

Sherman of his law. Presently we shall
find out that Bright never had his dis
ease, nor Mason and Dixon a line on any
thing. And perhaps St. Vitus never
danced.
