New York at Chicago expects to play
ana should play, notable part. In
point of wealth and influence in the
realm of business credits and ac-
tivities she holds first place among the
states Business questions are now up
permost. The tariff. the trusts, the rail-
roads, the currency and conservation all
touch New York intimately, and are
subjects of study on the part of her
leading men. in office and out. The
New York view is examined with care
wherever presented.
In the existing contest over the Dues
ton of republican leadership, New York
Is for Mr.. Taft overwhelmingly. Mr..
Roosevelt does not appeal to her. She
is not without pride in his past
achievements. for she gave him his op-
portunities. He has been one of her
favorite sons for thirty years. She has
seen him round out, from youngster
fresh from college, playing small
part well at home. to d figure of world
wide interest, and has rejoiced in his
growth.
But Mr.. Roosevelt as the leader of
coterie of western politicians preach
Ing populism is horse of another color;
and New York does not like the color
Why should she? What has she to
gain by following the new Roosevelt?
What has he in his sack which would
benefit her?
First at Rochester. where a platform
Will be adopted. and then at Chicago.
where delegates standing on it will
present themselves, New York will be
conspicuously in the limelight and en-
titled To the illumination. She is show

much has been printed and preached re-
garding the dangers of filth and the GER
tainty of disease spread from it. Through
The Stars organization of the people II
has been possible to ferret out these un-
wholesome spots and bring them to public
attention by means of photography, a
most important work in the interest of
the public health.
1t is to be hoped that two results will
be accomplished, one that the people will
be taught to regard all sorts Of trash
with adherence. and the other that some
form of official inspection may be main
tanned to reduce the nuisance and menace
of trash accumulation. A cleanup week
will wipe cut most Of these foul places
and result in the removal of hundreds
of wagon loads of trash of all descrip-
lions. but it will not accomplish its full
result IL more trash is allowed immediate
~ to accumulate The purpose Of this
enterprise is to get the city clean and
then to keep it clean. And incidentally
it may be remarked in this connection
that it is unnecessary to wait until April
II to begin the work of cleaning. Certain
ly every one Of the trash holes that The
Star is meanwhile bringing to public view
ought to be secured and kept in good
order.
Two things contribute to the habit of
trash collection. One is the instructive
disposition of many people to save odds
and ends. A dishpan develops a hole in
the bottom beyond repair and is tucked
away in the corner of a cellar, or area
way with the idea that some time it may
prove useful An old bedtick passes the
moi of
burned is thrown out into the back yard
with some vague purpose of fumigating
it and restoring it to service. Broken
furniture that should be chopped up for
kindlinS wood is added to the trash heap.
Here comes the second force that
makes for this sort of slovenliness, the
lack of initiative. 1t is easier to throw
a thing outdoors than to dispose of it
in an orderly manner. Thus thrift and
iazinesS work together to make these
foul hooks and corners where flies breed
by the tens of millions and disease lies
lurking for its victims.

The Outsider.

The jocund spring which doth appear
So often at tins time of year
1t is a joyous time, in sooth.
For sober age and festive youth.
The teamster loves his whip to crack,
The motorman speeds down the track;
The man who walks with JOY doth see
The yellow blossoms on the lea;
The rich man and the poor man, too,
The charming scene right gladly view
The righteous man admires the skies;
The veriest sinner doth likewise.
But there is one compelled to miss
The gentle thrill of vernal bliss
Vain are the blossoming and the sky:
On them he cannot cast an eye
His steadfast and untiring gaze
Far from his nose but seldom strays,
For if it did he'd scarce have time
To pen his usual spring-time rhyme.

COAL STRIKE HINTS.

From the Springfield Union.
Maybe winter is merely hanging on
| to see whether there is to be a coal
strike or not.
From the Columbus Evening Dispatch.
Clearly, the time to settle a strike is
before the strike. That has been demon
strated in hundreds OF cases.
From the Boston Advertiser.
The present rise in the price OF coal
is i'm part due to the fear which the oper-
ators have that their feelings may be
injured by the strike.
From the Brooklyn Times.
The good people who are urging Pres-
dent Taft to intervene in the coal strike
should pause and reflect upon the fate
of 1.-The innocent bystander' ere they
urge him any harder.
From the Syracuse Herald.
In case of a coal strike, which presi.
Dental candidate will be first to grab
the issue of government ownership OF
the coal mines?
From the Scranton Tribune Republican.
This strike talk seems TO have dcvcl-
oped the fact that lot of fellows
who never saw a coal mine know AL
about the business.

From the Columbia State.

From the Atlanta Constitution.

The Trash Piles.

Two thoughts are suggested by the pic
lures of dirty back yards which The Star
is printing from day TO day in connection
with the preparations for cleanup
week. One is that amazing ignorance or
indifference to the laws of health prevails
in many parts of the capital among the
householders. The other is that there is
an almost total lack of official supervision
over the premises of the dwelling places
i'll the District. Some of these trash
heaps are the result of years of accumu-
lation and during the time of their growth

Let's put il in another way. He's
loyal To- himself and to the traditions of
his place. He's out OF politics. That he
feels friendly TO Mr.. Taft stands TO rea-
son. Mr.. Tafts appreciation of him was
well shown. and that must have begotten
good feeling in return"
DO you think he'd make a strong
candidate?"
THAT would depend. lie would not on

agitation in the divers regions of south
eastern Europe, which was remarked in
January last, spreads and menaces the
future.
The situation is bad in Macedonia, where
the eXactions of Turkish functionaries and
the excuses committed by bandits have
again become chronic evil This evil is
all the greater since the retirement OF
European officers who had organized in
that province an effective gendarmere
Albania is disconnected, and there is
reason to believe that the insurrectionary
movement Of the last year which created
such grave difficulties for the Turkish
authorities may extend this time over all
Albania.
The autonomous states of the Balkans
have recently manifested by amelorations
in their mutual relations significant signs
Of their preparation for the future. In
the place of their old jealousies and ha-
tredS policy of accord has Succeeded
which appears to be policy OF protec-
ton against the Turk. Following the Sc
cret agreement between Roumania and
Bulgaria, we have had occasion within a

These divers accords have been recently

brated at Sofia on the occasion OF the

Sanford To Go To Big Texas Herd
Says Journal
u. S. Grants famous buck San
ford" has been sold. He starts soon
for Sonora, Texas, and J. N. Ross,
of that place, becomes his owner,
says the Angora Goat Journal.
Sanford has had a most interesting
career and has probably been the oc-
casion of more copy" concerning
him than any other buck in the ccun-
try. He attracted attention to him
self when he won the sweepstakes
prize at the eighth annual show held
at Dallas in 1907. After that he con-
sistently held his own, both in the
show ring and as a breeder of show
stock. Two does sired by him won
first and second prize at the North"
west Angora Show at Dallas, 1912.
Mr.. Ross, who has purchased linn,
is a large owner of Angora goats at
Sonora and has been for a number
of years a steady customer of Mr.
Grants for bucks. We feel sure that
we can congratulate Mr.. Ross because
he has now in his band buck which
has few superiors in the United
States.
