RO0SEVELT's HAT IN THE RING.

I'D OSEvELT is a candidate. In reply to the questioning of
I'm Republican governors he says so definitely and conclusiyely.
He holds himself subject to the call of the Chicago conven-
ton. He had already set forth his platform of principles in his
Columbus address. It is now a condition, not a theory, that con
fronts the Republican party. There are presented two candidates
and two sets of principles that are radically opposed to each other
and that admit of no compromise. Which shall the Republican
voter choose? Mr.. Taft seems to have the position of advantage,
backed by his administration forces and supported by the principal
organization leaders and all the influences that power in govern
ment can employ. Roosevelt banks on the sentiment existent In
the party ranks. He looks for a ground swell. 1t is a question now
which will prevail at Chicago. But there is one consideration that
weighs heaviest of ALT is that OF the chance for election IN
November. OF what avail would a triumph for Taft in June be If
it shall be followed by a great party defeat in November? That
question is the fly in the Taft ointment. 1t is in the minds of the
Taft supporters everywhere. 1t is the unbidden guest at every Taft
banquet. And the doubt will be strengthened as the campaign for
the nomination proceeds. Republicans will not be deceived by the
tactics that may secure State delegations. They will see beneath
all the symptoms of a party discomfort to prove fatal to party
chances at the polls. Will they care to take the risk of certain
defeat for the sake of rewarding Mr.. Taft with a second term?
And may they not even now harbor resentment toward him for
bringing about the chaotic conditions in the party by his policies
and bIunders? At every stage of his campaign Mr.. Taft Will stand
in danger of a stampede. Let the feeling spread among his sup
porters that Roosevelt will be nominated.o or that Tafts nomina
ton will mean defeat, and the stampede will begin. And foremost
in it will be many Of the Southern delegates.

DINNER STORIES.

At the recent New York University
inaugural dinner, Nicholas Murray
Butler. president of Columbia, told a
story about Mark Hanna, President
Mckinley, and a faithful party worker
who happened to be q leading politi-
clan" in a little Ohio towl.
During the campaign this man Wis
gracious major told him hat after the
victory had been won he would see
what he could do for him in the way
of an appointment. After the election
Hanna met him one day-he had made
another visit to Canton.
"Mr. Hanna" he said, shaking hands
vigorously, congratulate me"
What for?" asked Hanna.

Well said Hanna, automatically,

me of all his plans. What are you
going to get?'

Hanna. trying to suppress a smile

ton / talked the matter over with my
wife, and we decided we'd like to go
abroad for a while. We never have
been able to take a foreign trip, and
this looked like a good chance. I got
out the atlas and we looked over the
maps, and we decided that Italy would
be a pleasant place to spend a few
winters in. So I told the major what
we had decided, and he promised to
appoint me-
"He promised to appoint you ambas-
sador to Italy2" asked Hanna, who saw
that there must be a misunderstanding
somewhere along the line.
why, yes, certainly he did, was the
reply.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Some time ago a correspondent in

a MONEY TRUST INQUIRY ORDERED.

IT f there is a money trust the House of Representatives proposes
to find it out. BY a vote nearly unanimous it has instructed
it's committee on banking and currency to make an inquiry into
all matters touched upon by the Henry resolution that are within
the jurisdiction of that committee. Other lines of investigation
dealing with the money power covered by the Henry resolution
will be pursued by three separate committees and a quadrilateral
quest is promised. This inquiry has become a necessity to clear up
the financial atmosphere and either confirm or alay public ss-
picion. 1t will have the especially helpful purpose of throwing a
food of light upon the Aldrich financial scheme, which to the aver
age citizen is now a complicated puzzle, and, in fact, is imperfecty
understood even by financial authorities.

Jimmy Mason. of the county prose-
cutor's office, innocently started an ar
gument today while coming downtown
in an Orange car. Pointing to a sign
advertising a certain cleaning commo-
dity he remarked to several friends.
Now 1 wonder just what that means"
That" was the phrase, twenty
mule-team."
Then there was ar argument that
lasted all Nthe way downtown as to
whether it meant ten teams of two
mules or twenty teams Of two mules
each or forty mules in all. Just as the
car reached the Court House Mason
quietly settled the argument by point
ing to a picture in the advertisement
which showed ten teams of two mules
each.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Some time ago there was a rumor
that a permit would be granted by the
Public Service to lay tracks in Park

make this suggestion: Let the Pub

to change for east or west Market

I'm not in favor of laying tracks as
it will ruin the beautiful appearance of

dRADE-cRossNd LEGISLATION THIS WEEK.

cTTa HE Pierce gradecrossng bill, which is to come up in the
Senate tomorrow, has been amended in committee in two
important respects and it will have to run the gauntlet of
other amendments in the Senate. Probably in whatever shape
the bill shall finally be passed it will be taken by the railroad
lawyers to the courts for review. 1t is essential, therefore, that
there be no constitutional or other flaw in the bill to give the
courts just reasons for throwing the bill out. The amendments
TO be offered should be critically examined. 1t is an old legislative
trick to amend a bill ostensibly in favor of the public, but with the
object of having it invaidated by the courts.

PHILADELPHIA APPRECIATES NEW JERSEY

tn PHILADELPHIA is now officially claiming an "actual popula-
liz ton" of two million people by the simple process of count
ing everybody who lives within a "tenmile rim" around the
city limits. This, of course, takes in Camden, with its close to
100000 inhabitants, and many other New Jersey towns. The num-
Der of people outside of the city boundaries who are thus calmly
appropriated as PhHadephians is 423O00. New York, by similar
figuring, could easily add a million and a half to its census stand
ing, as a tenmie rim would include all of Hudson county, the city
Of Newark and a large part of Connecticut. Such calculations are

MNNE of the things that the United States needs to learn from
w Germany is the system of combining compensation to in.

much fewer in that country compared with the volume of produc,

nation. The report of Chief Labor Statstician Garrison showing
Ills New Jersey workmen killed or seriously injured in industrial
occupations last year emphasizes this contrast, so shameful to
