cial counsel for nothing. With his
known views as to forms Of govern
ment, Mr.. Roots absence from the
stump is nothing less than a sign of
the white feather and Of a disinclina-
tion to subject himself to the kind of
attack at which the Colonel is most
adept"
The real reason why the cabinet is
SO backward is probably because it's
members feel that Mr.. Taft's chances
are not very good Gratitude has
been cynically defined to be "a lively
expectation Of favors to come" If
Mr. Taft ceases to be President on
March next, there will be cold COM
fort sitting in the sun Of his favor.
He will have no more offices to be-
stow. Not only on account of Roose-
yelt's chances for the Republican
nomination is Taft stock at a low
ebb, but the politically weather-Wise

be Democratic year.-Houston

terms that their present President is not fit
for President again, and if he is nominated
his own party will defeat him.
The only section that has endorsed Mr..
Taft is the South where the Republicans
never get an electoral vote-the only Repub-
licans who have endorsed their President are
the Southern Office holders who are Republi-
cans for the pie that comes to them for being
such.
What will be done at Baltimore is hard to
tell, but coming after the Chicago conyen-
ton the Democrats will have the advantage of
knowing what man the Republicans are going
to run, and they can be governed accordingly
In making their nomination.
While we believe it would be national
calamity for Mr.. Roosevelt to again be
elected President, we do admire the fight that
he has put up and his smashing of Mr.. Taft.
Taking up the fight when Senator La Fol
lette broke down, and all of the politicians
considered him back number, Mr.. Roose-
welt has gone before the people and fought,
and wherever direct primaries have been held
he has whipped the President to sorry and
bedraggled looking frazzle-if he has done
no more he has exposed Mr.. Taft and caused
him to be Justly Inundated more than any
man who ever sat in the White House
Roosevelt has lambasted the political life
out Of the President who broke faith with
the American people within six months after
he had taken the oath of office-he has
whipped into humiliation the man that he
made his successor in the White Hor1se-the
man who was elected on platform pledging
tariff revision downward, but who signed the
Payne-Aldrich bill, making it law, which
gave us a revision upward-the man who
declared it the best tariff we had ever had
the man who later on when under fire, admit
ted that the Wooden schedule was indefensi-
ble-the man who later on again endorsed
the tariff that he had declared indenfensib'S
by vetoing the reduction that the Democratic
House made in the same-the man who has
swung on to Understandable man who
kicked out Pinchot, the honest man, and
retained Ballinger, the crook.
Roosevelt is just as much friend of the
big Trusts as is Mr.. Taft-his sanction Of the

Secretary Nagle worked hard in
Missouri. Secretary Knox spoke in
Los Angeles. Secretary Stimson
spoke once in Chicago and then
quit. The Cabinet has practically
left Presid ent Taft to make his fight
single-handed. The Springfield Re-
publican, as we'll as other Eastern
papers, comments on this. 1t notes
the silence of Secretary Root.
''The most conspicuous absentee
from the firing line, it observes, is
Elihu Root. There can be no ques-
ton as to Mr.. Roots personal atti-
tude toward the recall OF decisions,
etc, and he would have made the
most effective Of all the Colonel's
critics. For if it be urged that Mr..
Root himself would have been far
from invulnerable, owing to his SER
vices to Mr. Ryan and the interests
it is certain that there is no one who
knows better exactly those points at
which Theodore Roosevelt is vulner-
able, or who could show them up
with less possibility Of refutation.

With the National Convention now SO near
we may as we'll give up all hope of any tariff
revision at this session of Congress will
be the last Of this or the first of next year
at the earliest before we may expect any
relief from the burdens of the Payne Aldrich
law.
The tactics in the Senate indicate that there
will be little done there towards furthering
the good work of the House on tariff revision
the Senate will either pass compromise bills
to which the House will never agree, or Mr..
Taft will again veto any tariff reduction that
gets by both House and Senate.
The course of the standpatters in the SEN
ate on the metal schedule dooms tariff revi-
sion for this session, and it also makes it plain
that Mr.. Taft is willing to continue his policy

1t has recently come to light that last year
the White Star Steamship line the line to
which belonged the i'll fated Titanic, paid
dividends amounting to 60 per cent, and car
rled over as a surplus an amount equivalent
to another 20 per cent, making total of so
per cent in dividends that this one line of the
Morgan Steamship Trust paid in 1911.
One tenth Of this so per cent dividend
would have equipped the Titanic with enough
life boats and life RATS to have saved every
person who went to a watery grave on the
night Of April Is.
But whoever heard of Morgan Trust
sacrificing dividends to save human life?
The Morgan policy on the seas is the Nor
gan policy on land-the Morgan steamships
are provided with no more safety for passen-
gers than are the Morgan railroads
With Morgan, dividends come first, even if
thousand lives must be sacrificed to get the
dividends.

Although Michigan ranks very high
as a producer and consumer of pure
foodstuffs, and the dairy and food
laws of the state are generally con
sidered comprehensive there is no sta
tute on the hooks that would empower
the commissioners to force a medical
examination upon waiter or clerk
whom he suspects Of Deing infected
with a contagious disease. Under
such conditions il Is possible for amy
number Of bakers, walters and 9th
ers who handle food to hold their
positions, even though they be suf

such cases gives the dairy and food
