THE TAFT-PoosEVELT ISSUE JOINED.

1a BE issue between Roosevelt and Taft was joined in New York
last night. Roosevelt states it: 1.-THE right of the people TO
rule" In terms Taft has denied that right and affirmed
the superior right of the minority, consisting of a representative
lass" Taft declares against the tyranny Of majorlt1es' Inc
popular majority is the voice of the people. which can be heard IN
government only through majorities. Mr.. Taft would have gov
eminent so constituted that 1t could declare this voice "httuf ana
dangerous and anarcbic. and turn a deaf ear to it The small
representative class should decide what is best for the people.
Roosevelt, in combating these views, quite new to the American
people. shows that for a considerable time the minority that Taft
believes TO have a divine right to govern the majority has been
IN the saddle and the result is trusts and monopohes, thefts OF
the national resources. the control of the peoples food and drink
the sale of adulterated foods and drugs under shelter of govern
nent, the control and debauchery of legislatures and a riot IN
public franchises. together with the growth of colossal fortunes
mainly coined out of the peoples necessities. In the speeches IN
which Taft lays down his propositions there is hardly a word IN
condemnation of the enormous evils that the minority has brought
upon the country. All his condemnation is for those who would
adopt measures strictly in harmony with democratic and constI
tutional government for their correction. Thoroughly in sympathy
with the Cannons and Aldriches, from whom he borrowed his
precepts, Mr.. Taft regards as demagogues those who are OF a
contrary faith. But should not the Republican Regulars" who
have been blindly supporting the Taft candidacy as a matter of
organization discipline take alarm at the attitude of a candidate
already wofully handicapped by his record in office? What pos
siBle or imaginable chance would such a man as presidential can
didate have for election by the people?

Grade Crossing BIZ.


To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
It Is understood that the railroads
are opposing the Pierce grade-crossing
bill and arguing against its passage
with the statement that the cost of
abolishing the grade crossings would
Ultimately have to be paid by the ship
per. whose cost of shipping would be
Increased.
Such a hoidup should not be per-
mitted TO interfere with the bill. The
railroads have been allowed to main
tain these Embarrassing death traps
too long. They are given every consid-
Grafton with the bill in its present
form, which provides for the elimina-
ton of one dangerous grade crossing
to every thirty miles of railroad in
the State zach year. That is very fair
and imposes no gigantic task which
the railroads are not in a position to
meet. The inferred threat that If the
bill was passed rates would go up
have no effect on the legislators,
whose duty 1t is to make the measure
a law as speedily as possible. 1t will
be up to the State Board Of Public
Utilities to find out why the railroads
are raising rates if they attempt n
such swindle. K. L. THOMAS.

i've years been asking the Lehigh VAL
ley to rent them the boats for haul
ing brick, wood. cement, etc.. and the
Lehigh Valley refused them.
The increasing use of cement for va
rious has given value to great
masses Of rock in the highlands OF New
Jersey and started up. cement works
there to give employment to many
hundreds of hands. bringing prosperity
to regions that never knew 1t before
Last year the production of cement
of all the plants in the country fell
off.
This has attracted new capital to the
industry, and wherever he suitable
rock has been found plants have been
put up.
Cement is bulky. and the great desire
in it's production and sale is cheap
freight.
The Morris Canal taps regions where
the cement works are located, and this
alone would make it profitable.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
did not acquire the canal to operate 1t
as a business enterprise, but to strangle
its competition in coal carrying.
Prior to the lease to the railroad I'M
pany the traffic reached the figures of
7o7,572 tons, and when the Lehigh took

NV OF until the necessity arose for making a place for a per
ANU sonal adherent of the Governor was the discovery made
that the Chancery Court needed an eighth yicechanceHor,
and Immediately a bill for the creation of one was rairoaded
through the Senate to relieve the Governor of an awkward sit
uation in having offended the friends of this man by appointing
another to a State Office he desired. This unexampled act, inspired
by presidential politics, was participated in by Republican senators,
evidently by reason of senatorial courtesy" and that vague senti
ment was never before stretched to such a length. Judicial ap-
pointments with a motive to promote individual political aspira,
tons are bad enough, but padding the State courts with Judges
with the same object is worse. And how does such a proceeding
reflect upon the executive and the courts?

HORMER GOVERNOR STOKES, in his sane and thoughtful
address to the Irvington Republican Club last night, stated
some truths that his Republican hearers may well ponder
on. Mr.. Stokess statement that it "s the mission of the Re-
publican party to serve the country" not to serve any individual,
will not be disputed, and yet Mr.. Stokes was presented with the
spectacle of the manipulation of the party and its disruption for
the sake of an individual. The Republican party has certain
cardinal principles. 1t is belief in these principles that makes the
Republican. And he desires their triumph. Shall he deliberately
sacrifice them for the sake of a single individual who is at the
same time not favored by a majority of the Republican voters of
the country? In order to exalt the individual, shall the party be
wrecked in the next election? That is what Nh. Stokes meant in
his address. Republican loyalty is, for the party, not of the quality
of party loyalty that ruled in the days of Pompey and Caesar,
when the man was everything and party principles and national
welfare nothing.

Canal Abandonment.

Dear Sir-The New Jersey Canal and
Terminal Protective Association wishes
TO thank The Star for its help in fight
ing the abandonment of the Morris
canal.
This association cannot see why the
Newark Evening News should try to
misguide it's readers by saying that
the canal is useless as a waterway
when its abandonment will cause he
failure of numerous plants along its
route.
The statement hat no one wants
the privilege of running boats upon
this canal is also false.

Expectornting ON sidewalk.

To tho Editor Of the Evening Star:
In spite of the ordinance prohibiting
-expectorating on the sidewalks many
men and even women have no regard
for the warning notices posted
throughout the city. The officers are
very lax in enforcing this law. The
number of cases of tuberculosis which
originate from the splitting evil are
enormous. Just think the next time
and remember to walk to the gutter
and there expectorate. J. I. S.

WHAT NORTH DAKOTA MEANS.

1a WO facts stick right out in the results of the Republican
Ii presidential primary in North Dakota. One is that the
Republican party in that State is overwhelmingly opposed
TO Taft and will have none of him. The other is that when the
La Toilette candidacy colapses at Chicago the solid vote of the
State will go to Roosevelt. Furthermore, this was the first presi-
dental primary to be held in the West, and it's indications of
Republican sentiment toward Mr.. Taft are ominous.

Out of the Snow.
1 found a little violet
Hid in a bank of snow.
Winter was still upon the land,
But the violet did not know.
1t smiled as though the spring were
here,
Lifting its gladstone face
Out of the bosom of the snow
To make a garden place.
When life droops in its winter days,
All chilled with doubt and woe,
Some little hope will lift its face.
Like the violet in the snow.
