THE PLAIN CITIZEN.

Colonel Roosevelt poses as being as opposed to bossism as a plain citizen when he wants political hOnors, al- though he has shown when he was in power he could play the part of boss or dictator as best suited his purpose vide his control of the republican national convention at Chicago in 1908 and his seizure of the canal zone in Panama. which he defended as an act to be done and explained to congress afterwards
 Dr. Wilson's vietory." writes Thez odore Roosevelt in The Outlook. would not mean the dethronement of these men Sullivan. Taggart. Mur- phy): it would mean their perpetua- ton in power" What about Bosses Woodruff of New York. Finn of Penn Eylvanis and Halligan of Nebraska- if Roosevelt should win out-would their political power be ess?
 Colonel Roosevelt is one of the most artfui politicians in the country; and not only knows all the tricks of the game. but does not hesitate to play them. He no more has the interests of the plain citizen at heart than has had any of his political predecessors. He has assailed the trusts more iiercely than any man in the White house but his record shows that he prosecuted A in seven years. while Taft prosecuted 37 in three years.
 The Colonel wants the people to rule but would he deny that they ruled when he was chosen president. or confess that for seven years he re- mained silent upon this subject which now seems to be SO dear to his heart? Under Taft. it is safe to say the peo- pie have ruled as they did under Roosevelt and every republican prede- cessor. "None are SO blind as those who can see. but do not want to see"
 Perhaps the reason Roosevelt prayed Champ Clark might be the democratic candidate was that panic might be averted in case of a democratic vic- tory.
 Mir. Roosevelt's nightmares are very much like his promises.

NOT PAssABLE ARITHMETIC.

By what arithmetical rule can the Bull Moose party be, called the third party?
 The prohibition party in the third place has grown hoary as a minority party, and is certainly third in order; and the socialist party, which gath cred force enough to get control of eight American cities in half a dozen states must be recognized as the hold CT of the fourth place; hence the Bull Moose party is by all arithmetical rules the fifth party in the field.
 It may become numerically stronger than three of the five parties in the field; and if it should it may be called second in importance without fear of dispute.
 The Bulletin notices that quite a number of the western papers Insist upon calling the Roosevelt party the fifth party in order: but here in New England we persist in calling it the third party, because as partisans we do not recognize the old minority par ties as of equal importance-not so inviting a retreat for the political ad- venturers, hedgers and soreheads, or the hotheads, hurrah brigade, hypno- tized victims, tax -scorched business men, and followers of every new scheme, of the two old parties. It represents a third place for all the dlsgruntled of every type and calibre to slide to; hence we cast arithmetical order to the dogs and give it a big to indicate that it is big enough to see and to reckon with
 We admit it should be the fifth party until it has won its place. It might properly he numbered 215 as a part of the old republican party. Number it as we may it is sure to be num- bered with the slain in November.

MIXING INTO FAMILY AFFAIRS.

The fact that Candidate Wilson has agreed 10 go to Maine and deliver several political speeches with a view of having the first gun of the cam paign Of 1912 give forth a democratic boom. Is not pleasing 10 the leading republicans who regard it as meddling In family affairs

 There will be some curiosity. nat urally. to see and hear the candidate and to know what he says about heed sng the wishes of the people in respect to and for the public laws. He will have complimentary references, of course, to the democrats of this state in congress. merely words agreeable Co listen to, but what ideas can he express which will be of any assist ance 70 Maine voters in their endeavor Go better the unsatisfactory conditions in many respects that exist in this state

Mr. McGillicuddy could not do it, in all human probability.

Tommy sidled in through the front door with an elaborate air of there being nothing unusual in his entry of his own free will before 5.30 o'clock. Usually it took two maids, his mother and threats from his father to drag Tommy within the portals of his hap py home in time to get ready for dln- ner

 Tell me where the pain is, darl1n Hetty begged. Only the widest ex treme would have led Hetty to address Tommy with pet names. Usually she referred to him as that young limb
 You go 'way!" was Tommy's fierce responses to her distracted query.
 Hetty met Tommy's mother before the latter was fairly up the steps. My, I'm glad you've come, Hetty- gasped. '"Tommy's on your bed-an' he's sick an he won't tell what's the matter with him!"
 Tommy's mother apparently cleared the stairs at one bound, arriving at her sons side gasping and pale. Pale as she was, he exeelled her in that respect. He edged away as she grasp ed his pulse and laid hand on his forehead.

Retirinq Voluntarily.

MT. A1drich of Rhode Island left the senate voluntarily, because he did not care to stay on there any longer. MT. Crane of Massachusetts is leaving 1t in the same way. Eugene Hale of Maine quit while the quitting was good; bet ter to retire, he thought, than to be retired. And so thinks, evidently, MI. Burnham of New Hampshire. The sue cession to Mir. Burnham seems to be between Henry P, Quimby, the ex- governor, and Rosecrans w. Pillsbury, the reformer, legislator and Manches- ter newspaper owner. Each of them wants to go to the senate, and frankly says so. Mr Pillsbury will be 50 on hls next birthday, and Mir. Quimby will be SC on his.-The Courant.

The AIIeaed Sentiment.

So far the Bull Moose following in Bridgeport does not appear to be inn pressive, so far as the leaders of the movement are concerned It Is a bit strange, with all the alleged sentiment in the coloners favor. that so few prominent citizens have become iden- tified with the movement. There may be many who are waiting to take their cue from the coming Chicago conven- tion of the new party.-Bridgepo Telegram.

THE PROBLEM OF THE
PUBLIC HEALTH.

When the historian of the future
records the accomplishments of the
decade in which we are now living he
will no doubt call it "the sanitary
renaissance" the period marked by
widespread desire to improve the con-
ditions under which men and women
work and live, an era in which physi-
clans as a truly altruistic profession
have instituted and led movement
for the physical salvation of mankind,
says DR.. Rupert Blue, Surgeon-General
of the United States Public Health
Service in a recent number of The
Journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION. The public health institu-
lions of our country have been built
up from the simple colonial quarantine
to the chain of working sanitary bod
les of the nation, the state, the county
and the municipality One of the first
bills introduced into the First Con-
gress Of the United States provided
for the assumption of the quarantine
power by the federal government. But
the time was not ripe, and we passed
through a long period of state and
local quarantine, and not few devas-
tating epidemics, before citizenship
had evolved to the point where ii
would impose those duties on the gen.
eral government. The heart of the
problem is the state and local boards
of health. In a~republic where the
right to govern rests on the consent
of the governed, where public senti
ment very largely influences the en-
forcement of sanitary law, where peo
pie think before they obey, the corner
stone of the whole public health fabric
is the state board of health, and its
efficiency determines in large meas
ure the efficiency Of the whole.
