PERFIDY OF ROOSEVELT'S FRIENDS

The statement made by Senator LaFollette shows the Roosevelt politi- cal tactics in no favorable light. He alleges that the Pinchot brothers, Me- dill Mccormick, Gilson Gardner, and others, professed to be supporters of his candidacy, but that as soon as t began to show strength in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and elsewhere they began to insist that Roosevelt's name should be joined with his in reSolu- tions of endorsement, and instructions to delegates and that tickets should be made up in combination of ROose- welt and LaFollette men. At this time Roosevelt was engaged in de- nying that he was a candidate.
 La Toilette says that he refused to assent to this program, and instructed that his headquarters in Washington, Ohio and Illinois should be run strict ly as LaFollette headquarters, he pre- ferring not to be 'stool pigeon for any man.
 On Jan. 29 the Pinchots and McCor. mick withdrew from the La Toilette support, although the senator, in 9iew of their pledges to him and the Aotive which he thought lay behind

SYSTEM
 IN PRACT|CE''

The civil service and merit system pretension of the Warner-Wilson re- gime was exhibited in a fine calcium light of exposure, last night, when the mayor and the Republican com missioners rode rough shod over the provisions of the charter. governing elections, appointments and business transacted by the Board of Charities.
 The salary increase given to the imported superintendent was made by two votes only. One Democratic commissioner voted in the negative, and the other refrained from voting. The charter required on this proposi- tion three active concurrent votes. Also the election of a clerk of the board was in dissent of the plain charter rule. There were not three concurrent votes. and there was not tie. We believe that court will think long before giving the force of affirmative ballots, to the blank pieces of paper which Mayor Wilson declared constituted the tie, which he assumed the right to break.
 Aside from the legal and charter aspects of the case are the moral aspects. No charges were made against Clerk O'Neil. He had been faithful and efficient servant of the city. The attempt to remove him constituted a Stultification of Mayor Wilson's claim that merit was to be a governing consideration in making appointments.

BREAKING DOWN THE SAFEGUARDS

The cloven hoof is beginning to be ments which ''the administration" has donned for the advancement of it's temporal interests. It appears that the boasted Board of Contract and Supply is to be a clearing house under whose roof all of the protection es- tablished for public purchases may be cast down, when deemed advisable; i; as advertising for the lowest bidder, and the denial to members of boards of the privilege of selling to the city.
 If we mistake not, members of boards have been compelled to resign for the offense of dealing with them- selves
 The temper of the public opinion on this matter is exhibited in the ordi- nance offered by the Republican lead CT in the Common Council, Alderman Primrose, forbidding members of boards trading with the municipality This ordinance has been buried, prob- ably forever
 In direct opposition to the princi- ples set up by Alderman Primrose. Mayor Wilson asserts that the Board of Contract and Supply make it un- necessary to observe the direction that city officials ought not to be in a union to sell their goods to the city.
 He thinks that so long as they sell through the Board of Contract and Supply no mistake will be made.
 What is the object of the rule that public servants shall not barter with

their pledges, refused to release them.
 Reading between the lines of La Follette's statement the conclusion is difficult to avoid that Roosevelts friends took advantage of an illness which the senator suffered to read him out of the presidential race.
 They seized his illness as a pretext for announcing their change to Roosevelt, although the actual tran sition from one candidacy to the other had taken place at much ear- Her date.
 Governor Johnson of California is exonerated from the tactics displayed by the Pinchot brothers His change of position LaFollette de- scribes as manly"
 Governor Johnson, deceived by de- velopments, believed the LaFollette boom had fattened out, therefore he went over to Roosevelt.
 It is easy for experienced political observers to be deceived. At this time it appears that Roosevelt's boom has ilattened out, and that LaFol- lette's chances are improving daily, although he can scarcely be nominat- ed over Taft.

VISION
(Hartford Courant.)


 Vision and intensity of conviction must both go to the makeup of any man who is to lead the forward move ment," Colonel Roosevelt said in Louis ville, Ky. Vision, eh? But as long ago as when Ovid lived there was the deception Of vision-deceptio visus. The man who drinks too much whisky for too long a time has vision, but what he sees is not of advantage to him Or to anybody else. Vision is next of kin to visionary. Taft does the things that he judges and believes to be right, and that is the real and safe vision. Roosevelt is mad to be President again, and his brain is crowded with fantastic images beckon- ing him on, and that is the vision ary who dreams that what he wants the country needs. He is so anxious about the shoe that he cares nothing for the foot; but after all the shoe is a frill, while the foot is a necessity for every one.

 They are trustees of the city, and
 for centuries it has been recognized
 that the agent ought not to profit from
 the funds of the trust, except to the i extent of the emolument allowed him
 for his services
 Mayor Wilson would break down
 this time honored protection of the
 public service, and would form a sort
 of association of public employees, who merely by dealing with a particular
 board, may trade with the city as free
 ly as if they were not agents of the city. @ Such program must ultimately re- suit in evil. and there must come of it a policy of you tickle me and I'll
 tickle you," which will be disastrous to the sound and honest administra- ton of the city's business. The contract for a supply of meat
 should not have been awarded to a the very body that has SUPERVIS- ION OF THE USE OF THE MEAT. There are two ways in which the city may suffer in such transaction
 The first way is that too much may
 be charged for the goods that are
 sold.
 It is notable that the meat contrast
 has spontaneously evoked the opinion that the PRICE IS EXCESSIVE. The second way is by a reduction in the quality of the goods, the deliv-

So now you know He doesn't bob into the linnelight because he is patented by the General Electric company, otherwise known as the "electrical trust,' and in consideration of annual salary of $75,000 per an- num- turns over all of his inventions to that corporation. That is rather neat sum to pay one man for just but he has paid big dividend on the investment, as he has we'll over hundred inventions, some of them of a revolutionary nature, to his credit.

At the Lynn factory of the corporation he won his spurs by numerous notable inventions, and in 1893 he became the chief consulting engineer of the great electrical company.
 Electricians everywhere refer to him affectionately as "The Professor" and he has never been too busy to give advice and help to the young and struggling men of his profession. Des- pite the fact that he is only four feet high, he is one of the biggest men of America, and the wonder is that so small a body can support a head so full of hefty thoughts.

WHY AMERICAN FARMERS GO TO CANADA


 The exodus of American farmers to Canada has been frequently noted and the reasons therefore sought. Paul F. Trout, in a discussion of this i'm migration, shows that the develop ment of government ownership in the Canadian provinces is responsible for a part of the decided preference which sturdy American grangers are show ing for the American dominions of King George V. The most important feature of the government ownership program is the great grain elevators, which are erected S5 per cent. at the cost of the government and 15 per cent. at the cost of the farmers of the neighborhood which the elevator serves
