THE LIBERTY OF OPINION.

The refusal of President Lowell, of Harvard, to
disciple Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart for having con-
sented to serve Roosevelt delegate from Massa-
chusetts, is on a par with the action of President
Butler, Of Columbia University, who, as chairman
Of the New York Republican convention bitterly at
tackled Roosevelt Both men acted in accord with
the spirit that should prevail in our educational af-
fairs-they stood for freedom Of thought and free
dom of action.
If education means anything it means the stimu.
lation of independence Of thinking and the freedom
of expression OF whatever truth the student thinks
he has discovered. 1t matters but little whether we
agree with Hart in his support of Roosevelt with
Butler in his opposition to Roosevelt, but it does
matter great deal il we attempt to cashier either Of
them because they don't agree with US, as President
Lowell pointed out in his defense of Harris action.
The perpetuity of our educational institutions de-
pends upon the granting to every connected with
them the right to seek the truth and proclaim it as
they find it each according to his own light If their
opinions are erroneous nothing will detect and cor
rect the error as quickly the liberty to proclaim
the error. If they are correct the world should
have the benefit of their conclusions
No possible harm can come from thrusting our
ideas into the arena and there fighting for them for
in that test only that which is true will finally prevail
Nothing is heresy except to the ignorant for nothing
is heresy until it has been disproved. The university
is the battle ground where this is decided, and il
must not be subsidized or its freedom curtailed.

Roosevelt. Taft. La Toilette.

In the face Of that showing, it is worse than
folly, worse than misjudgment, worse than merely
bad politics, for the Taft organization to proceed
with its proclaimed purpose Of grabbing the Chicago
convention.
The foregoing table presents ALL THE CASES
in which the people, by orderly, legaized regulated
adequate primaries, have had a chance to do what
they pleased. See what they have done!
Out of 3S6 delegates selected Mr.. Taft has an
insignificant thirty.
Every one of that 386 represents State that gave
its electoral vote four years ago to Mr.. Taft, save
only Nebraska,
Can there be any uncertainty as to what the
people want? If every State had had the preference
primary Taft would have had to scratch hard to get
delegates enough to present and second his nomna-
ton. That is no exaggeration, no over-statement.
1t is literally true and the returns from the primary
States prove it, that if there had been universal
preference expire 'sions there would not have been
enough Taft delegates to afford decently distributed
array of seconding speeches. His name would never
have gone to the convention. 1t would have been
withdrawn from consideration six weeks ago.
Yet today despite such an overwhelming demon
straton, the Taft organization is going right ahead
cutting lead pipe into convenient sections for thug
gerry ad hold-up, masking its purpose Of burglary
behind the pretense Of Contests and deliberately
plotting to shanghai a nomination for Mr.. Taft.
Gentlemen, you will be subjects for the ministra-
tons Of lunacy commission instead Of a national
convention, If you don't wake up pretty soon and
recognize that ALL THE PEOPLE are not going to
be robbed Of their plain rights and purposes.

It's q Rocky Road to Nomination

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
A POPULAR BALLAD.
One cold and frosty morning,
A short time after Lent
The chilly weather scorning,
A sad-eyed President
Stood on the White House portico.
HIS form draped in shroud,
While TO the northern breezes
He walled forth in accents loud:
CHORUS.
They've knitted me in Missouri, and they've
cut me up in Maine:
In classic Indiana they have trampled on my
name:
with wild neurotic frenzy
They have turned me down In Pennsy
In a most outrageous and unfeeling way;
Up in stanch and true Wisconsin where
thought had a look.
They mstook me, for they shook me and
then handed me the hook:
Though in faithful old Kentucky.
was more than half-wa lucky.
IT'S rocky road to nomination day.
His voice was full of pleading.
His eyes were full of tears;
But stony hearts, unheedinR,
Replied with jibes and jeers;
His tears fell fast and faster.
Alas they fell in vain.
While from the great mans stricken soul
Rang forth this wild refrain:
CHORUS.
They pilfered Oklahoma, and they knocked
My erring child. New Mexico. has faced me
wild and wooiy North Dakota
Didn't pony up its quota,
Though I've always done the right thing by the
Grand Old Party boys,
Illinois:
Oh. my sching heart is breaking.
What a cold and sad awaking!
It's rocky road to nomination day.

Panama Exposition.

Resolutions calling for the unification
Of accident reports under State COM
pensation and liability acts, and recon-
n ending an economic section exhibit for

Francisco in 1915. were passed today
by the tweny-eighth annual conven-
ton OF officials Of bureaus OF labor,
factory inspectors, and Industrial COM
missi ons. in session at the Raleigh.
The morning session os the convention
today was given over to the discussion
OF the operation OF State compensation
acts, and the relation OF these acts to the
Commonwealth. the employers and the
casualty companies. 1t was charged the
casualty companies charged for protec-
tion that they did not give, and that
they held the employers up for high
premium because of their liabilities un-
der State compensation laws, and then
did everything to defeat the aims and
purposes of these laws. 1t was averred
that employers had opposed compensa-
tion acts on account of increased
charges from the casualty companies.
The convention adjourned shortly
after noon until o'clock this evening
to give the visiting delegates opportun-
ity to see Congress in action

AOSP|TALD
TO Be INVESTIGATED
BY HOUSE BOARD.
Congressman Dyer Deter
mined to Bring About I'm
provement in Conditions.

Caustic criticism Of the Washington
Asylum Hospital, which he DESIGNATED
as "a District dumping ground" was
voiced today by Congressman Dyer OF
missouri. chairman Of a subcommittee
OF the House District Committee now
engaged in an investigation Of the hos
pitfalls and charitable institutions of this
city.
AT the Washington Asylum all sorts
of patients are thrown together" said
MIR. Dyer, following a quiet visit to
that institution. Sick criminals and
the criminal insane are mingled through
the institution; maternity cases and
cases anising from every conceivable
form OF disease are dumped In there be-
cause Of general lack og supervision
somewhere in the city government. It
appears to me that some OF the other
hospitals turn down such unfortunates
and the Washington Asylum Hospital
TOOK them all in regardless of precau-
ton or ability to treat them"
Congressman Dyer says he is deter
mined to present the matter to Com
gress. although it probably will be i'm
possible to remedy conditions at this
session.
Congressman Dyer's subcommittee had
Just completed an investigation OF the
tuberculosis Hospital. and Mr.. Dyer
announced his intention today to ask
authority from the full District Com
mittee to institute a probe OF the en-
tire system OF hospitals In the District.
Reverting to discussion Of conditions
as he sees them in the Washington Asy-
lum Hospital, Mr.. Dyer said
You see all sorts Of cases there.
You find maternity cases that Will
make you weep. and at the same tine
the Columbia Hospital is established
Tor those cases. 1 understand that
tuberculosis patients are housed at the
Washington Asylum, yet we have a
tuberculosis Hospital
Mr.. Dyer announces his subcommittee
proposes to investigate the system cf
charities and corrections new employed
in the District and to make specific re-
Communications before the next annual
appropriations are made. Among the
institutions whose arrangements Mr..
Dyer will seek to have the subcommit-
tee investigate are the Washington
Asylum ard jail; the Reform School
for Girls; the Home for the Aged and
Infrm, the National Training School
for Boys, Freedmen5s Hospital wards.
the Industrial Home for Colored Child
rem, and the Industrial Home School
When the hearings on the Washing
ton Asylum Hospital are authorized,
| following the preliminary inspection
| of the institution by Mr.. Dyer yester-
resentatives of the womans depart
ment of the National Civic Federation
will appear. Miss Maude wetmore
and Miss Frances NJ. McGill inspected
OF the federation. They reported that
the building is antiquated and totally
| inadequate for the patients treated
| there. and that the hospital staf,.
handicapped by the conditions about
them.

Thinks Flirting Far Less Of An Evil
Than the Saloons of the District

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
In the Sunday Evening Times I no
ticed where a fellow was fined $50 and
girl $40 for flirting on street Satur-
day night. All the Washington papers
come out strong against this practice
and ] fail to see their grounds for SO
doing. 1t is very rare that a man will
make himself obnoxious when he sees
that he is not encouraged by the other
party. II girl smiles when a fellow
looks at her II is sure sign that she
does not object to clandestine ac-
quaintance, and show me the fellow that
won't fall for catchy smile, but
twenty dollars comes pretty high. II
is positive proof that this practice is
not carried to such an excess as to be-
come a nuisance. for the reason that
Il is necessary to have plain clothes
dogs" scent them out. Here in WASH
lngton, with its notorious districts and
superfuous number of saloons, the
authorities are trying to put a stop to
flirting. They might better start with
the worse evils.
A fine of $50 was imposed on this
couple. Why lot of drunks could get
into a street brawl and not be fined any
such exorbitant sum as this!
l should like some of the advocates
against flirting to explain wherein the
evil lies, and why men are permitted
to take girls into back rooms where
fellows termed "flirts" would not even
think of being seen. L. @. H.

Enter Protest Against Unmuzzled
Dogs Running Loose.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Within the past week have read in
the local papers of five cases of persons
being bit by dogs. Doubtless, there are
other cases not reported to the police
authorities. The police are evidently
not doing their duty with regard to the
regulation requiring that dogs be muz-
zled. In the southeast section there are
any number of dogs, many of them
being vicious, running about without
muzzles, and at perfect freedom to snap
at and bite little children at play. The
great majority of dogs cannot be trust
ed, and there Is no more warrant to
turn the ours loose on the streets than
to give the city over to prowlng wolves.
The average city dog Is neither useful
nor ornamental. II dogs are permitted
to prowl the streets and bite children
with impunity, why not allow pigs and
cows full sway In the public thorough
fares; the latter are more useful and
certainly less harmful. The Police De-
partment needs to be reminded of its
duty in connection with the suppression
OF unmuzzled dogs. z. II. B.

WIDE INTEREST IN
ANTHRACITE DECISION
Wall Street Watching for Action
by Supreme Court in
Suit.

The money centers and the Depart
ment of Justice alike, to say nothing OF
railroad and mining circles, are await
ing with keen interest the decision Of
the Supreme Court in the much dis
cussed anthracite case. This decision is
expected from the court before 1t ad-
journs for the summer. The stock mar
ket is especially interested for the de-
cision,
Attorney General Wickersham hesi-
tates TO begin any suit to prevent in
crease in anthracite prices until this
case is decided. On account of the in
tention of the operators to shove up
prices on anthracite 26 cents a ton, there
has been much discussion of proceed
ings by the Department OF Justice TO
prevent II.
The case before the Supreme Court
has a bearing on the situation. It arises
from the fact the Reading Company and
a number OF coal roads and coal COM
panies are alleged to have entered into
a combination to control production and
transportation of anthracite.
The Washington times., 1912-05-29
BOOSTING THE COAL BILLS.

In announcing their summer schedule of prices,
which went into effect generally yesterday, the retail
coal dealers put the burden of the extra charge of rs
cents ton up to the operators. 1t is typical bad
trust" situation. The countys output of hard coal is
controlled by eight coal roads, with about IS per cent
actually in their grip
The operators rake in their increasing profits, no
matter what happens Because of the late disturb
ance they suspended the usual April and May dis
counts to retailers. But the sales went along just
the same as usual, and so the operators reaped an
additional advantage. The reserve stock took care
of them. The net result is that the consumer has
to meet the increased wages paid to the miners a
bonus to the operators presumably for preparing
the new wage schedules) anu another extra tip due
to missed discounts. Added to all this is the an
nouncement that no shipments by water can be made
before late in September or several weeks after the
summer price schedule expires
In a word, the conditions Of which the public
complained ten years ago have gone from bad to
worse,
The Washington times., 1912-05-29
PLANNING THE BIG STEAL.

The Taft people in Texas did not even 90 into
the State convention. They marched down street
and held another convention" without shadow of
legality or authority, instructed for Taft, and an
nounced that they would contest for the seats at
Chicago.
This is of the same blood-raw piece as the Wash
ington State bolt. Regularity, formaty, the ex-
pressed and undoubted preference Of the mass of
the party-all these were ignored in both cases. in
order that nominal contest might be set up.
Not legitimate meritorous contests, but fake,
bogus buncombe limitations. At least, they're good
enough for the purposes of campaign that is based
now, in all frankness, on bluff, brgandage and an
elaborated scheme of grand larceny
