THE PITFALLS OF A SCHOLAR

THE PITFALLS OF A SCHOLAR.
The business of being a scholar In
politics clearly has its trials, and Gov
ernor Wilson's desire when entering on
the career for an anchor TO windWard
in the shape Of a Carnegie pension was
not uncanny. He may have foreseen
that the professional habit Of expound-
ing opinions on all sorts Of public Ques-
tons made his political life q particu-
larly poor risk. The sword Of Damocles
hangs over him.
Congressman Hills quotations from a
sEc n delivered by DR.. Wilson as re-
ceriis. as June 10, 1909, on Improbable
servants" are most nconvenient, COM
ing OH the very day when the Governor
was submitting himself to the inspection
of Mr.. Samuel Gompers with view to
the afflxing Of the union label on his
candidacy. Mr.. Gompers will scarcely
approve these views Of the trend Of
unionism:
You know what the usual stand Of
the employe Is in our day. 1t is to give
IS standardized by the trade unions,
and this is the standard TO which it is
made to conform No one is suffered to
do more than the average workman can
do. In some trades and handicrafts no
one Is suffered to do more than the
least skilful Of his fellows can do within
the hours allotted to a days labor, and
no one may work off hours at all or vol
unteer anything beyond the minimum.
The labor Of America is rapidly becom-
ing improbable under its present regu-
lation by those who have determined to
reduce It to a minimum.
The anti-injunction and contempt of
court planks of the Baltimore platform
can hardly reconcile union labor TO a
candidate who says that through its
methods ''the country grows more and
more full Of improbable servants
OF course, the Governor can assure
Mr.. Gompers that he didn't really mean
what he seemed to say, Just as he as
sured the unlikely fellows" from the
South Of Europe that he had the utmost
respect for their noble Netherlands and
the naturalized voters coming from
them. Even If he did mean It, he is
entitled to change his opinions. He
wanted Mr.. Bryan knocked Into a
cooked hat only to discover later that
he was the zone fixed point in the De-
mocracy." He taught the folly and
wickedness Of radical doctrines at
Princeton only to discover that he had
been teaching "bosh." He leaned long
on the bosom Of George Harvey only to
discover that it was tainted by "the in
terests" He has declared the Demo
cratic theory that protection was uncon-
stitutional TO be unsound only to find
himself committed by his platform to
that theory.
With his record as a scholar behind
him, Dr. Wilson needs an open mind
and he has one lie rapidly readjusts II,
in spite Of its single track character, to
new conditions. Like Saul Of Tarsus he
may be transformed on the instant by
vision Of new truth. Only Saul's trans
formation didn't hanDen to hs in linz

GREASING THE RAILS

the Speed of Trains.

Advocated as a Means OF Retardlng
the Speed of Trains.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: | was much interested in the report
published I'm to-days Tribune OF the evil
dence taken I'm the investigation Of tho
train wreck on tho LaCkawanna Railroad
and would like TO ask II It would not be
possible to check the force OF a train by
grcasing the tracks.
The traluman testified according 10 your
report, that he went back half mile 10
warn the approaching train. Suppose he
had been supplied with a can OF oil or grease
or sortsoap and after going 10 the rear, say.
three hundred yards. had creased the rails
for one hundred feet or more. and had then
hurried further back and CREASED the rails
again.
No serious harm could have been done
and the speed OF the coming train might
have been checked, and perhaps stopped,
even II the engineer had become temper
rarily incapacitatcd.
Railroad experts will probably rdicule
this suggestion. but nevertheless II the plan
had been adopted In the case referred TO
the result might not have been so terrible.
Sortsoap has been put TO many uses, some
of which are not credItable. none so i'm
portant az that suggested. J. G. W.

with his immediate material and politi-
cal interests, and a skeptical world may
think that DR.. Wilson's is, That Is one
of the trials which the teacher who
seeks votes must expect. If he stands
by inconvenient opinions, his popularity
is endangered. If he changes them, he
creates suspicion, either Of his sincerity
or Of the quality and fitness for politi-
cal leadership of mind which could
long and confidently teach false doc
trines. What assurance can it give
that its future judgments will be any
souuder than its past? Verify, the
scholar of politics moves amid pitfalls.

CHICAGO BOLTS.

1t must be that the air Of Chicago con-
tains some principle which fosters and
develops the bolt germ. How else can
be explained the threats Of the Strachan
faction Of the National Education AssO-
citation to set up an organization Of their
own because Miss Strachan was not
elected president at the organizations
national convention held in that city?
The formation of the Bull Moose party
Of itself would not have led to an indict-
ment Of Chicago 1t might have passed
as an isolated case Of peculiar type, the
symptoms Of which had been evident for
long time. But the Strachan case puts
the entire situation on a different basis.
Chicago prldes itself on being the big,
busy heart Of the big, busy, bustling
Middle West 1t is a community repre-
sentative Of that section, which has as
sort of general motto "Get what you
start after" That may be very good
principle In business, or love, or war, but
it can be carried to an extreme. 1t may
become so developed in an individual
that he loses all proper perspective and
fails to recognize either the rights OF
others or personal limitations. That
state of affairs is not conducive to peace
and harmony and organized effort Or
CARNATIONS which have gone so far in
communal effort as TO have national con-
ventions, whether they be political bodies
or other brands, naturally put much
trust in the valve ard efficacy of organ
lied effort, Naturally they don't want
their conventions to produce bolts 1t
seems to be up to Chicago to prove to
the nation at large that it doesn't fos-
ter the bolt microbe or remain forever
damned as Il convention city.

THE PRICE OF MILK
Producer Says Consumer Already
Paws Enough,

Pays Enough.
To tho Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: was greatly interested in the article
in this mornings Tribune attributing tho
decreased supply Of milk, with the prob
ability of an increase In price to the con-
summer. to the hot spell. Whenever such a
condition occurs reporters rush to some
city dealer, and the first thing he suggests
IS 10 raise the price TO the consumer, who
is already paying all the article IS worth;
or he will say that a raise IN price to the
farmer is considered. DO you know what
one of the largest dealers paid the farmer
for June? 1t was 1914 cents for can Of
30 quarts The New York MIX and Cream
Exchange paid at the same time. cents
a quart. or 81 20 a can.
| have been keeping back several cans
OF milk daily 10 make butter for my own
use. with butter at IS cents n pound and
skim milk at 20 cents a can, It nets me
81 50 a can. The exchange says they cam
not afford 10 raise the price. as the large
dealer IS already cutting in on their trade
buying milk so much cheaper. Feed is from
s. to s. ton higher. II q fair price were
paid, milk would be produced near by, In
stead Of sending TO Canada and tho ex-
IRENE northern part Of the state.

AN HONEST ROOSEVELT ELECTOR

AN HONEST ROOSEVELT ELECTOR.
If political honor were universal all
the followers Of Colonel Roosevelt who
have been nominated as electors by the
Republican party either would pursue
the course adopted by the Maryland
electoc VINO announces that he feels
bound. II elected, to cast his vote for Mr..
Taft I'm spite Of his personal preferences
or would withdraw from the ticket.
Only thee two courses are honorable.
To remain on the ticket as Republicans,
inviting the votes Of Republicans, while
intending TO vote for the candidate Of
another party, is TO perpetrate a fraud.
1t can have no other purpose than to as
franchise intending Republican voters, as
specifically in Kansas, 1t Is said, or to de
ceive them.
As this Maryland elector says, he was
put on the ticket with the understanding
that he would support the Republican
candidate for President TO be chosen at
the Republican National Convention,
whoever he might be. That Is the tadt
understanding with every electOr chosen.
To carry It out has always been held 10
be a solemn obligation, so solemn that
in all the history Of the national cleo
tons since the party system and ma
tional conventions developed no elector
has ever violated 1t.
The colOnels followers have not pro-
duced a single argument to Justify their
course Of nominating as Republican
electors men who are not Republicans

Republican candidates for President and
Vice-President It is a steal, pure and
simple. Of the Republican party's name
