A COUP BY THE COLONEL.
Proved Himself Consistent and Sincere
by His Action In Massachusetts.

Speculation upon the bearing and eff
feet of the result of the Republican
primaries In Massachusetts, lost none
of its interest in the light of the prompt
and decisive Remuneration by Colonel
Roosevelt Of the support Of the eight
delegates at large elected on his ticket.
Without the slightest hesitation he de
clared the situation was ruled by the
preferential expression Of the voters,
and as President Taft received that ex-
preston he was entitled to the dele
gates Notwithstanding the fact that
they were elected as Roosevelt dele
gates.
Colonel Roosevelt could do neither
more nor less than just what he did.
And yet it must be regarded as a ire
mendous political coup. He proved
himself consistent and sincere in his
expressions, and in spite of anything
which can be said the incident will
prove Of enormous value to him in the
remainder of the campaign.
The foundation of bis present can.
vass ts his declaration Of the right of
the people to rule, of government By
the majority. He has emphasized 1t in
every state he has visited. The best
evidence Of his sincerity Is his com
plete remuneration Of the support Of the
Massachusetts delegates in favor of bis
political opponent. 1t was the right
thing to DO, but it is not every man
who does what he knows is right when
1t operates against himself, apd it can
not fail to confOund his a~dversaries
and strengthen the hands Of his friends.

SHIPPED AT SOUTH AMBOY
Special to tho EVENING NEWS.

South Amboy, May 1S:-While very
little anthracite coal is being handled
here, the supply being practically ex-
hausted owing to the strike, the docks
are kept busy shipping bituminous coal.
1t is said that one time during this
week there were nearly 1000 cars of
bituminous coal standing in the local
yards waiting for shipment. The coal
bumpers are being worked to their cap
acity. Evidently the soft coal shippers
are profting by the tie-up of the an
