The Chemists.

Although the gathering in this city of
the chemists from different countries who
are in America to attend the eighth inter-
national congress is strictly of social
character as regards the actual work Of
the organization itself, nevertheless 1t has
its official aspect. particularly In view of
the fact that the President of the United
States has come from his summer home
at Beverly TO receive these distinguished
men of science. The sessions of the con-
gress will be held in New York. though
they might more appropriately have been
held here in view of the fact that in
Washington are centered some of the
most important works in this line.
The science of applied chemistry is a
wonderful development of modern times
1t is a far cry from the alchemist of old
to the chemist of today working in his
laboratory on problems of Immediate and
vital commercial Importance. Today's
chemist is adding constantly TO the riches
OF the world carrying on the work Of
conservation, utilizing wastes. finding
means for the production OF value from
hitherto neglected materials; in short.
performing feats of viva rdry far more
astonishing than even the pretended tricks
of the charlatans who in former times
made q very little science go a long way
in deluding credulous victims.
To enumerate the triumphs of modern
chemistry would be TO recite virtually the
industrial achievements OF a century.
A part from the line of mechanical inven-
ton. the work OF the chemical laboratory
in adding to the powers and resources Of
men in the field OF manufacture and bust
ness has been OF the greatest Importance.
Even in the field of mechanics the chem
ist plays an important part The mag
nihcent industry based upon the produc-
tion OF steel Is in large part the result OF
the chemists researches and active con-
tributions. Indeed. II is almost tmpossi-

Prison Reform and Discipline.

indication that II Is unwise to go too fast
in the evolution of a more conservative
system of punishment. 1t is unqueStion-

The New Jersey Senatorship.

James Smith, jr., announces for the
Senate. Had he done SO two years ago
he might have been elected. He might
have won over Mr.. MARITIME in the pri-
maries. and thus have left Woodrow
Wilson no excuse for opposing him. Can

Gratis sweep the country. as they expect

Will be begun.
New Jersey has an enormous stake in
the game. She Is the habitat OF many
trusts and Of many manufacturing plants.
and tariff rates and schedules are the
breath Of her being. They must be re-
vised with care, or she will suffer.
Now what democrat living in the Jer-

Vermont.

The Vermont figures speak for them
selves and tell a very plain story
house divided against itself cannot stand.
Had the republicans stood together they
would have polled forty thousand votes
as against seventeen thousand polled by
the democrats. But they divided, with
the result that one of the factions polied
within thousand votes of the democratic
strength The democrats stood together
and even slightly increased their numbers.
This result cannot but hearten the DEM
ocrats everywhere. We may see the
effect in Maine next week. and. If there,
elsewhere later. In states where the
democrats are not now together they
will get together and where together they
will work with the greater energy and
success.
VIII the republicans throughout the
country be influenced by this warning!
Or have matters gone too far for that!
VIII men who still call themselves repub-
IIcans and yet feel unfriendly toward Mr..
Taft continue in a course certain, II pur-
sued to the end to bring in Mr.. Wilson
and Congress democratic in both
branches?
Mr. Roosevelt's immediate purpose is
clear enough. He seeks the destruction
of the republican party. 1t has refused
him further leadership. and he has or
ganized an opposition. partly for revenge
and partly for -glorffication.
This for the present. Later he hopes
to try his hand on leading a movement
embracing both republicans and demo-
Gratis, and having for its object the revo-
lutionizing of our form of government
AS he figures if Mr.. Wilson succeeds-and
he wishes him success-is working for
hin-the combination behind Mr.. Wilson
cannot be held together for legislative
purposes. and disorder in the democratic
party will issue from the failure. Then.
in 1916, with both of the old parties In
disorder, cry will go up for Moses,
and Mr. Roosevelt will respond.
The destruction of the republican party
is beyond Mr.. Roosevelt's power. Can he
succeed in putting it temporarily out Of
business? Will republicans at his in
stance fall in behind him now in suffi-
cient numbers to let the democrats enter
through divided republican ranks? Yer
mont Is not lost to the republicans, but
only for the reason that the legislature
will be able to save the day. In states
where the two old parties are on some
thing like even terms. such a division as
has Just been shown in Vermont will give
the democrats an easy thing. May We
look for that? Are the so-called pro-
cressives in New York. New Jersey and
the great middle states willing to go that
far?

Mr.. Smith should profit by the change
Looking out for American industries Is

that he will make no war on them. and

fashionable. Everybodys doin' 1t now
The old robber baron has been washed

takes, and as a member of the Senate

Roosevelt. Root and Crane.

The fact is recalled at this very inter-
est;np time that before Mr.. Cortelyou was
chosen chairman Of the republican ma
tional committee in 1904 the place had
been offered by Mr.. Roosevelt to Elihu
Root. Murray Crane and Cornelius ~
Bliss in the order named, and by them
declined. Mr.. Roosevelt, by his own
confession. was seeking "a man or hlgh
integrity to manage my campaign.
Mr.. Root, Mr.. Crane and Mr.. Bliss
all answered that description All han
held high Office, and were well known
Mr. Root had but recently concluded
service of five years as Secretary or war;
three Of them under Mr.. Roosevelt as
President. Mr.. Crane had recently hlled
a term as Governor of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Bliss had been Secretary OF the IN
terror under Mr.. Mckinley. Surely MT.
Roosevelt was right in his appraisement
OF these men.
Mr.. Bliss has since died, and died In
honor. But Mr.. Root and Mr.. Crane
remain, and still figure in public affairs.
Have they changed in the eight years
that have elapsed. since Mr.. Roosevelt
approached them with request for duty
as his campaign manager? If they were
not still so? Both are honored members
Of the United States Senate. and from
July, 1905. till January, 1909. Mr.. Root
was Secretary Of State in the second
Roosevelt administration.
And yet these men are today on the
Roosevelt black list. Mr.. Root is con-
demned as a lawyer who works for the
few as against the many, while Mr..
Crane is cast into utter darkness along
with Penrose, Cox, Lorimer and others.
who are rated by Mr.. Roosevelt as
vulgar bosses and public enemies.
If Mr.. Root and Mr.. Crane had de-
Perforated. the public would have found
them out and cast them out. AS party
men particularly they would have lost
their prestige. But only last Juno Mr..
Root. by unanimous choice. presided over
his party's national convention. and one
of the most influential men on the floor
was Mr.. Crane.
What explains. then. Mr.. Roosevelt S
present attitude toward these men
Nothing more or less than the fact that
they have refused to countenance his
ambition for third term in the White
House, and his purpose to ruin, il pos
sible, his party in the attempt to get there.
They are republicans, and as such are
supporters Of Mr.. Taft He is the party S
nominee. and as such reads his title clear.
That is the whole story. and shows how
far Mr.. Roosevelt has strayed from the
right path and suggests how far he is
willing still to go under the goad of
his reckless aims and plans.
