The South at Chicago.

Those southern republicans who are
assuring Mr.. Taft of the loyalty of their
section al Chicago speak probably with
knowledge. They are men of high stand
ing at home. and keep their obligations,
personal and political. The fight in the
south for the President was not made I'm
q corner No snap methods were en-
ployed. Everything was done in the
open. and in order, and the instructions
issued to delegates were clear. and are
binding
For years southern delegates to repub-
lican national conventions have beer
targets for rdicule and grave accuse
tions. In gossip they have been Jumped
together as venal and ignorant contin-
gent. hunting for coin and ready always
to sell to the highest bidder.
While some transactions of that kind
have undoubtedly taken place. the evil
has never been as general as descr bed.
At every convention have been southern
men of character and pure purpose CO.
operating for good platform and good
ticket. and rendering valuable assistance
in the good work performed
Some amusement has attached TO the
efforts to traduce these men. Their
principal assailants have been politicians
on the other side themselves engaged in
dicker. Their lure has not been spot
cash. but the promise of office. They
have traded for delegates with marshal
ships and district attorney ships and con-
sulships, held up as prizes. William c.
Whitney's traffic in this line grew to the
proportions of a wholesale business.
At last the situation is improved OH
both sides. The southern men in CON-
mission for Chicago. and those in COM
mission for Baltimore, are as a Glass; of
excellent grade. and have been selected in
the main without outside pressure. On
the democratic side there has been no run
ming to New York to discover what Tam.
many. or Wall street. Tammany's master
wanted. In Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Under
wood the south has had chance to ex-
press herself as to sons of her own, and
has seized it. Neither the Clark dele
gates nor the Underwood delegates have
been named as the result of trades about
federal patronage. Not a trace appears;
of the proceedings which made Mr.. Whit
ney practically the south's master at
Chicago In 1897
Coin is not likely to control at Chicago
this month, either among southern dele
gates. or delegates from other sections.
Not only are the delegates as a rule
superior to such temptation. but the
Roosevelt reliance is now on other means.
IL possible, Mr.. Taft is to be defeated
by bulldozing tactics. Chicago is to be
hlled with rough-house men gathered
from far and near under the pretext of
seeing fair play. The stage is being set,
not for the boodler, but for the strong
arm gent. drilled with catchwords for
his part. and directed from a strong arm
headquarters.

Mr.. Root at Chicago.

Those Roosevelt supporters who object
to Mr.. Root for temporary chairman at
Chicago have good ground for their atti-
tude They do not challenge his ability
or his eminence in the party, for both are
beyond challenge. But they do chal-
lenge the republicansm to which he sub
scribes. and they understand that as the
presiding officer at the national conven-
ton he will be expected to speak in ac-
cordance Herewith.
Equally justified are those Taft sup
porters who have picked Mr.. Root and
are standing by him. He is one Of their
number. If the President is a stand
patter he is a standpatter. If the Presi-
dent is progressive. he is a progressive
better man could not have been Sc
lected to represent the republicanism of
which the President is the exponent Mr.
Root is a Taft man in all that is in
volved at Chicago. both In the nomina-
ton Of candidate and the framing of a
platform.
In other words. the republican party is
now divided not over personalities so
much as over principles. Mr.. Roose-
welt as a man appeals to some by reason
Of his bounce and spectacularity. But to
others he appeals by reason of his ag-
gressiveness in behalf of doctrines which
have no root in accepted republicanism
He is blazing a new trail. and many re-
publicans are following him.
Mr.. Taft as man appeals to some
by reason of his evenness of temper and
sobriety of method. But to others he
appeals by reason of his insistence on the
logical development of approved party
policies, and a pace short of a gallop
He believes in the middle of the road, is
travelling there himself, and wants others
to follow.
BY this 1t may be seen that the duties
that will devolve on the temporary chair
| man at Chicago are out of the ordinary.
Something more will be expected Of him
! than party Jolly" AS a matter of fact,
the party is not in a jolly mood. 1t is
not warning the country against the
democracy so much as u is advertising
it's own divisions. The Roosevelt con-
tention about the Taftites is that they
spell dry rot. The Taft contention about
the Rooseveltites is that they spell revo-
luton.
Things look almost desperate, but not
quite. 1t is unnecessary to say that the
slender hope remaining to the repub-
licans lies in compromise, the terms
of which could not now be forecast.
There must be a platform republican in
essence and assuring to both capital and
labor, and there must be a candidate
with more than words to his credit. A
platform promising all things would
guarantee nothing. and candidate fac
| ing both ways could travel neither. Jug
| Cling is often practiced in politics, though
never with lasting good effects. And
there is a limit to juggling.

Victims of Tipping.
rom the New York Tribune

The walters are victims of the tipping
system They complain of the conditions
Of their employment but those condl-
tons are the result of the tipping sys-
tenn. Their employers pay them little be-
cause they are supposed to reap large
rewards from the gratuities of the pat
rons In their eagerness for the license
to make what they can out of serving
in dining rooms the walters have put up
with a system of fines which impresses
the public as unjust, and often, if their
complaints are true. with poor food and
oppressive treatment. Meanwhile the
tipping system has so developed as to
make the waiter large dispenser of tips
himself The head waiter, captain omni-
bus. a number of cooks and kitchen men
all have to be tipped by the waiter. The
more complex restaurant conditions be-
come the more persons there are with
whom the gratulty is to be divided.
Moreover the patron himself hnds others
in restaurants besides the waiter to tip
directly. Doubtless this has some inf1u-
ence upon the size of tips TO walters.

Heat, Trees and Parks.

II all the hot days of summer are tenn
pered as was yesterday by thunderstorms
there will be little occasion to complain
of the severity of the season. Unques-
tionably the day itself was hard to bear.
with the temperature running up unpleas-
antly high in the nineties. Yet there was
air in motion and the city's abundant sup
ply of foliage stood the people in good
stead. affording wide spread of shade on
all the streets and making 1t possible to
endure the heat. The tree Is Washing
toms most valuable asset in summer
Miles upon miles of shade trees have
been provided by the wise planners and
developers of the capital. outside Of the
parks themselves. where groves do much
TO temper the air. Other cities that have
about the same range Of temperature as
this in summer. but lack the open spaces
and street trees. suffer much more Sc
verely than does Washington when the
sun works up to its highest point in the
skies.
When days like yesterday come. with
the thermometers making records for the
season. the unwisdom Of taking anything
away from the local park space for pub
lie building purposes becomes plain IT
can hardly be that any legislator who
moves about the city on such a hot day
would ever vote to put government
structure in one Of the parks. At present
propositions are pending in Congress for
the emplacement of three additional
buildings upon the Mall-the State De-
partment. the George Washington Me-
mortal Hall and the National Guard Ar

gregate reduction OF the park area without
any compromising condemnation Of land

Should Be a Sane Fourth.
From The philadelphla Press.

We had a small approximation to
sane Fourth of July last year. We should
have a much greater one this year In
most cities the question of sensible
and sane celebration Of independence
day is under discussion and in many of
them definite preparations for the observ-
ance of q sane Fourth are under way.
That there is some falling off in mani
festations of zeal for a proper Fourth
of July observance is noticeable. but that
is due no doubt to the absorption of
popular interest in the great political
struggle in which state after state has
participated and of which the end Is not
yet But we celebrate Independence day
even in the years of presidential cleo
tons. and we ought to settle it without
hospital cases and CHASTITY roll of killed
and wounded.

u How We come upon them sudden
Leading down a pleasant way,
WHARF we see familiar facso
And the folks We used to know!
Round the corners Of our nen'ry
Is tho long tine ago.
Oh, It's pleasure next to heaven
Just to leave tho path Of strife.
Just to tread the primrose pathway
Leading to the elden life
And to meet the old time neighbors
And perhaps again to SEQ
A happy barefoot youngster
Like the boy We used to be!
Oh, It's Joy to Last a lifetime
When in fancy we may roam
And We turn a sudden corner
In our mem'ry leading home.
Leading onward through the meadows
With the friendly stars above,
10 the old familiar friendships
And the places that we love!
Oh, we're thankful for the pathway
That leads on to rest and peace
Through the toll and stress OF living
To the goal where strife shall cease
But we're thankful-oh, so thankful
For the corners that we know
In our mem'ry that lead US
To the long time ago!
