Roosevelt and the NEWSPAPERS.
m the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
OF the many hundreds of newspapers
which come daily to our exchange desk
We have received practically all Of Mon
days issue from points east of the Mis-
sissippi. and those of st. Louis as well.
Practically every one has commented
upon Col. RooSevelt's announcement of
his candidacy. OF these only half a
dozen have come out in support of the
former Presidents candidacy. One in
Boston. one in Baltimore (both owned by
the same mani, one evening journal in
New York city, one in Pittsburgh, one
in an interior city of New York state
and one in Toledo are all that openly
champion the new cause. There are a
few others which are neutral. some with
leanings toward Roosevelt and some try
ing to maintain an exquisitely delicate
balance on the fence. Against these are
hundreds of republican newspapers, not
all of which by any means have been
unqualified supporters Of all of Tafts
policies or acts.

nifying that bill will be rushed through
parliament putting the minimum wage
scale into law. Under the old system
of unchecked power by the house of
lords It would have been possible, with
out hope of breaking the deadlock. for
the upper chamber to refuse to pass
such a bill and thereby block all at
tempts at a solution. The house of lords
is VIGOROUSLY controlled in its parlia-
mentary actions by the large moneyed in
terests, and in such case as this would
probably under the old system stand in
the way of remedial legislation. Under
the new system, while it could check a
bill for time, its action would be merely
temporizing expedient. and would be
sure to make an issue which might lead
to the total abolition of the chamber. 1t
is altogether likely that if the govern
ment undertakes to put the minimum
wage proposition into law it will succeed
without suffering any material delay in
the house of lords

The Peking Revolt.

The disturbances at Picking, caused by
mutiny Of troops, owing to failure
to pay them, are not yet regarded as
menacing to the lives of the foreigners
resident in that city. There is no COM
parison between the present situation
and that of twelve years ago. when the
Boxer revolution found the foreign lega-
tions at the Chinese capital virtually un-
protected. There was then no railroad
to the sea. and communication was diff
cult. So far as the revolt in the present
case is due to lack of pay, it is by no
means impossible of adjustment Doubt
less as soon as the government can
they will cease their troubie-making
There Is thus far no sign Of genuine
disaffection among them. The reports
disclose a momentary Generalization.
but il is difficult to believe that China
is ready for reaction SO quickly after
the splendid achievement Of the last
few months. There is no sure under
standing of the celestial mind by west
erners, and so it is always difficult to
Judge of the real nature of motives and
the true strength of purpose actuating any
Chinese movement. If there has been
treachery in high places it is hardly
likely to cause an overturn that will
long prevail. for the recent events In
china have clearly demonstrated that
the people are determined to establish
a new governmental order. and will
tolerate no restoration of the Manchu
dynasty. This outbreak at Picking is
probably one of the incidental symptoms
IF the process of suddenly changing an
empire into Il republic.

A Quadrennial Comedy.

There is a little comedy-sometimes de-
generating into broad farce-which in our
national politics never fails to draw and
entertain. The subject is the activity Of
federal officeholders in primary contests.
The play as staged this year is unusually
diyerting, owing to the cast Of charac-
tiers. The villains of 1912 were the heroes
OF 1905
I Four years ago Mr.. Roosevelt was ac-
cused of manipulating an officeholders'
trust for control of the republican nation
al convention. 1t was conceded that he
had certain strength outside of the
trust, but the trust was so per cent of
his assets. Without its aid he could do
nothing. Left uninfluenced by the con-
centrated power of federal patronage, the
republicans of the country would reject
the whole Roosevelt program.
Particular attention was directed to the
south. where, 1t was alleged. offices
We're being put up at auction in the
bargainings for delegates. Mr.. Hitch
cock was represented as touring that
section, red flag and hammer in hand,
and making the air vocal with the cry
Of going, going, gone.
In that campaign Senator Dixon of
on the Roosevelt side, and came in for
his share of the criticism leveled at the
Roosevelt outfit. According to the anti
Roosevelt following, Mr.. Dixon was shar-
ing In all the advantages gained, In the
south and elsewhere, from this '.prostitu-
ton of federal patronage" He was hand
in-giove with those who were playing
the game.
Behold a change! Mr.. Dixon is now in
charge Of Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign, and
has just issued his first appeal to the
people. The burden of 1t? Would you
believe it II it were not in print and
authorized? The tyranny of an Office
holders trust, operating with shameless
effrontery in the south! The people, ac-
cording to Mr.. Dixon, must resent this.
or their liberties will disappear. Not
even the initiative and referendum and
the recall will be able to save the day.
The Star has had its say about the
influence of the south at Chicago. The
republicans have no electoral votes In
that section, while the democrats have
the more votes by reason of an uncon-
stitutional inequality which the republi-
cans might have corrected, have repeat
eddy promised to correct, but have neg
lected to correct. The south should not
make the nomination at Chicago, and
probably will not.
But the Taft men. are not the only
men seeking delegates in the south. The
Roosevelt men are quite as active. From
George w. Perkins Of Wall street, down.
or shall we say up?-to the humblest
politician out of a job and seeking one
Roosevelt boomers have been for months
and still are, beating the southern fields
for game, and shouting Justify whenever
successful in dropping a little something
into their bag.
Mr.. Dixon has humor, as his manifesto
shows. and win need all he possesses on
the journey he is now making.

LEGISLATION for Strike Settlement.

At the present crisis in British affairs
the Importance of the recent parliament
ary reform whereby the power of the
house of lords to veto legislation is ef-
fectively reduced is plainly evident. The
government has been trying to prevent q
strike Of the coal miners by the adop-
ton Of a minimum wage scale BY the
operators. The latter. representing large
financial interests. have resisted. with the
result that upward Of million miners
are now on strike and Great Britain is
confronted with a dangerous situation

of the National Miners Federation, has
just said that. the government having
recognized the principle Of minimum
wage for al underground workers. III it

with only slight difference in the provi-
sions of the two measures, and an agree
ment ought to be of comparatively easy
accomplishment. The District has waited
for this legislation long time. and hopes
now to see it enacted. 1t is urgently
needed for the protection of those who
are unfortunate enough to need occa-
sional financial help, and every year that
the writing of this law is delayed means
a heavy loss, with incidental demoraliza-
ton. There is a good prospect now that
the District will secure d well framed
statute.

A Type Of Greatness.

Oh, greatness is a curious thing.
1t does not soothe the mind
With wisdom guaranteed to bring
COntentment to mankind.
But, with a megaphone whose size
Affrights the eye perplexed,
Salu,es the public till it cries,
What will the man say next?'
It does not bring a mood serene
And show how life may gain
Reward by effort stanch and clean.
1t simply raises Cain.
By deed as well as by his word
He leaves the public vexed
What will the man do next"

BREAKING OUT ON LEG

Hilltop, Kan.-"About two years ago
I began to notice a breaking out on my
leg. At first 1t was very small but
soon It began to spread until 1t formed
large blotches. The itching was ter
rible and almost constant. Many
nights I could not sleep at all. After
scratching it to relieve the itching It
would burn SO dreadfully that ]
thought I could not stand 1t. For near
~ q year l tried al kinds Of salves
and ointment, but found no relief.
Some salves seemed to make it worse
until there were ugly sores. which
would break open and run.
