Admits at Least One Bluuder.

The influence of a DISTINGUISHED"
example was plainly apparent in the ad-
dress made by Eugene Chain, Pro-
hibition candidate for She Presidency,
who at Des Moines had the self-com-
plaeeney to say that the contest in the
electoral college would be between him
and Wilson alone, the other candidates
being out of the question"
Right on top of this comes Prof.
Hart who urges as an argument for
Roosevelfs election that We shall have
Socialist President elected within six
teen years unless we put T. R. into Office
again. Wouldn't it be necessary, pro-
fessor. in order to keep the Socialist
President out of Office sixteen years
from now, to keep the colonel in Office
for the next twenty years! How could
the government ever. be intrusted to
any one else? Mr.. Roosevelt's one ex-
pertinent in picking his own successor
in 1908 was so terrible a blunder, ac-
cording to his own testimony, that he
could never repeat the performance.

That Ananias Club.

Judge Parker is amply viadicated. HI
said. just before the election of 1904
that vast sums of money have been
contributed for the control of this eIec-
tion IN aid of the administration BY
corporations and trusts" Mr.. Rocse-
velfs retort was thzt the statement
was unqualihedly and atroeiously
false"
Mr.. Sheldon now says that Arehbold,
Morgan, Fnek. and Gould contributed
$Ioo,ooo each. and that of the total
campaign fund of over $a.ooo,ooo. near
ly IS per cent came from similar
sources. MIR. Roosevelfs denial, there
fore, must have been prompted bv 'ip-
norance." Mr.. Bliss took the money and
the managers Of his campaign spent it
without letting him know. But perhaps
Mr. Roosevelt regards 100000 as such
triiing sum that it was really not
worth mentioning.

The Leasing Of the Coal Lands.

Secretary of the Interior Fisher has
taken a decisive step forward in the
cause of conservation by allowing the
lease of coal lands by the Bureau OF
Mines to private individuals. This, we
learn, is the FIRST actual lease of min
eral lands on the public domain by the
government, and foreshadows a prae-
tiee that may Be sdcpted exten lively
in the future. The plan il. modi6ea-
tion Of one tentatively suggested last
August, which was for the Federal
government to lease coal lands to coal
companies through municipalities, IN
stead Of direct to the operators. 8
Some believed that this scheme should
satisfy all parties concerned, including
the Pinehot conszvationists. But il
soon became evident that either the
FEDERAL authorities mast act as laod-
lords without intefmediaries, or else let
the coal lie in the ground. Nj. Fisher
has chosen the former course, and
has thus inausufsted IN experiment

settlement of these questions that Bul.
saria, Servia, Greece, and Montenegro
united for the first time and ordered the
mobilization Of their armies. This led
the Ottoman government to call up
some hundreds Of thousands of its re-

been concentrating rapidly at strategic
points along the frontier. At the same
time the Balkan armies have been
gathering on the other side. and it IS
calculated that something near 100000
men are face to face.
The Ambassadors at Constantinople
and the ministers at the capitals of Bull
earia. Serviar, Greece. and Montenegro
had been instructed to make representa-
tions on behalf of their governments,
and the news from Belgrade confirms
that their programme has been carried
out. 1t is likely that the other Balkan
states will follow the lead of Mon
tenegro and try to throw their armies
into Turkey to fight on behalf Of those

likewise.

may know more of the private minds of
some of the powers than other rulers

Murphy, Swacina, Jordan and Muir

averages published today. The heavy
