State Bull Moose Ticket

The third term party convention at
Des Moines on Wednesday put full
state ticket, with the exception of su-
perintendent of public instruction, in
the field, headed by Judge J. l..
Stevens for Governor. In spite of op-
position to ticket, there was an al
most unanimous vote in its favor when
the proposition was taken up by the
convention.
Congressional candidates were named
in five districts. In the 4th, no formal
action was taken but the general senti-
ment was against such a step, but if
it is found advisable to do so later, the
4th district delegates will be reassem-
bled to select the man for the place.

MIR. Fleming WitEdravws From
the Race For Congress.

United States.
Boiled down to its real essence, it means
that Mr. Fleming retires from the race for
Congress, because 600 Roman Catholic voters
prefer his opponent.
The district in which Mr.. Fleming was
running is composed of the counties of Rich
mond, Columbia, Lincoln, MeDuffie, Glass
cock Warren, Hancock. Talia{erro, Baldwin.
and Wilkinson.
mates 10000.
But because Mr.. Dan Fogartg and $50
other rabid rancorous and intolerant
Romanists loudly protested their preference
for Mr. Flemlngs opponent, Mr., Fleming
Withdraws from the contest.
1t would be dislngenuous in me, if I did
not express a candid opinion as to tine course
Mr., Fleming has pursued. In doing this [
will endeavor to avoid hurting his feelings.
| think he has made ruinous mistake.
He surrendered what belonged not to him
self, but to his district and to his country.
The rural counties placed their banner in
his hands-the enemy has it, not after a
good fight and honorable defeat, but by
unconditional surrender
Under the rules of the Executive Commit
tee, 1t IS now too late for another candidate
to make the contest in the primary
Therefore, Mr.. Fleming's sudden and
amazing withdrawal leaves the entire Tenth
district at the mercy of Mr. Dan Fogarty
and $50 other intolerant and proscriptive
Roman Catholics of Augusta.
1t would be bad enough to have that city
rule the district as it did in the Nineties. but
to allow Mr. Dan Fogarty and $50 other
priest ridden slaves of Rome to do it, is
absolutely intolerabe.
Mr. Flemings sudden action was as
unnecessary as it is deplorable I'LL. ~.
He could safely count on ten conventional
votes to begin with: he was sure of Lincoln,
Glasscock, Warren, Taliaferro, and jefferson.
He needed only six more conventional
votes.
He stood fine chance to get them from
his home county-Rlchmond.
Had he made an earnest appeal to the
1000 non-Catholics of Augusta, they would
assuredly rallied to his support.
With one speech in Baldwin, he could
have won that old Populist. stronghold
He had fighting chance in Columbia.
McDuffie, Hancock and Wilkinson.
With little work, he could have carried
the home county of his opponent, and nobody
was more panically aware of this than his
opponent.
AS that Roman Catholic persecution in
Augusta became known throughout the dis
trict, people were changing to Bill Fleming
every day
His prospects were never brighter than at
the very time ne threw up the sponge. (.
So The old Tenth is not only to be.
bossed by one town, but by the minority vote
of that town.
And that minority does not acknowledge
full allegiance to our Government: its
supreme master is an aged, infrm Italian,
who claims that he is Christ, yelled in the

THE COST-OF-LIVING INQUIRY.

Western newspaper has just come to hand
which presents interesting concatenation of illum
nations of the cosofving question 1t is an after
paper of February 2, and on its first page are
three highly suggestive stories.
Most important and prominent is the Washing
ton dispatch giving the Presidents message recon-
mending initiation of worlds cost-ofiving investi-
cation. 1t will be recalled that the President pointed
out that the problem of advancing food costs was
not local to any country, but was faced everywhere.
Next in prominence to this Presidential express
sion came a Duluth dispatch telling of the tremen-
dous gut of wheat at the upper lake ports; of how
the Canadian wheat crop has filled all elevator space
and overfowed in such volume that the railroads are
unable to it, millions of bushels unthreshed
or piled the ground, and some 100000 bushels
will be ready for movement when the lakes open in
the spring-an unprecedented situation.
Finally, least prominent in its display on the
same page, the newspaper prints Cincinnati item
about the convention of hoboes in that town, dis
cussng the problem of finding jobs for and
transporting the man to the job
There is food for deal of thought in those three
news stories The President assures that the in
creasing cost of food is problem everywhere. Du-
luth announces that there is so much wheat in the
Northwest that railroads are swamped with it, and
its transportation is simply beyond all possibility
until the lakes shall open in the spring.
And Cincinnati reports that the hoboes-the rep
resentatives of some hundreds Of thousands Of the
perpetus army of unemployed-are discussing how
to get to the job.
Putting all three stories together, viewing each
in the light shed by the others, it would appear thai
there is need for warehouses to receive and store
that wheat; for railroads to haul it. These canno
be provided without giving men jobs; jobs in stee
works. in lumber plants, in contracting gangs. The
men wanting the jobs are represented at Cincinnati
The demand for the wheat is bespoken by the Presi
dents message.
Nothing to do, then, but get the hoboes into the
jobs, get the mills at work, the railroads builded, the
wheat moved, and the cost of living reduced!
That's the whole worlds problem; and, with the
complexities of modern ndustrialism it is the big
gest, toughest problem that civilization has eve
| faced.
Plainly, the first thing needed is such establish
ment of business security as will make possible
conjunction of enterprise, money, and men in don
the things that are all required.

TAFT NOT IN SYMPATHY
WITH COMMON PEOPLE

To the Editor Of TILE TIMES
In all his public addresses Mr.. Taft
is making it more and more clear that
he has no sympathy with the aspira-
tions of the common people" of this
country toward a better control of the
public servants, though the latter seem
to he drifting further toward the goal
of what will soon be distinctly "rrS-
ing class
In one of the Presidents latest ad-
dresses he says: There are principles
of righteousness that are not dependent
for their existence upon the vote of a
popular majority"
Mr.. Taft might give the average man
credit perhaps, for knowing this fact
as we'll as he. 1t Is begging the qucs-
ton to take the ground that the recall
would have the effect of substituting
popular cIamor for the sacred inde
pendence of the courts" Mr.; TAFT"
opinion here is that OF the old Hamtl-
tonian party of tories which did not
believe in popular goyernment-and
never will believe in it. The house of
lords is one of the bulwarks against
popular government; the United States
The Washington times., 1912-02-05

Senate is another, and Mr.. Taft wants
the courts to be a third. 1t is not so
much that our present Chief Magistrate
contends for keeping the decisions of
courts above the reach of popular clam
or, but that he sees, with the eyes of
the tory, that the masses might get as
much power as that now exercised by
the select few, and that the former
might use such power for their own
and so queer" the game of the profess
sional and perennial exploiters of man
kipd.
Mr.. Tafts true spirit is admirably
eXemplified in much that he has said of
late. He gave a beautiful demonstra-
tion of this spirit also in his recent
appointment of a supreme Court JUS
tiCe whose Jesuitical training made il
easy for him, with his casuistry, to
usurp the legislative authority of Con-
gress and to write into a vital law an
emasculating qualification which rem
dered the said law void for all practical
purposes.
That Mr.. Taft has already cooked
his goose" with the voters of this coun-
try is quite certain. And while the re-
call in his case cannot be made oper-
ative until the time allowed by the Con-
stitution, it is sure to be most sweeping
and conclusive when that time comes.
The millions of citizens who have not
sat upon the judicial bench, nor devoted
their talents so exclusively to the great
whatever in his fiery fulminations
against every forward movement tC
which they aspire. They will show
! their opinion of the value of his position
at the ballot boxes in November

LIBRARY's EDUCATIONAL VALUE.

The value of the public library as factor in
our educational life is clearly brought out by the
annual report of the Boston Public Library trustees,
which has Just been given out.
1t is estimated that there are 10000 students who
are pursuing their studies either within immediate
reach in easy access of the central library build
ing. In addition there is a large range of general
readers.
The report shows that there were issued during
the year for direct home use 274,98l volumes at
the central library, and from the central library
through the branches and reading room stations,
1886 Others while the branches and reading room
stations also issued l09305l volumes for direct
home use. There were also issued from the central
library, branches and reading room stations for use
at schools and Institutions 170,662 volumes, making
the entire issue for outside the building 6l227O
This access to the great literature of the world
including works on the useful arts, is recognized as
constituting of the great advantages OF our pres
ent civilization and it comes home to us very forciby
when it is thus found that more than million and
a half of volumes are circulated in one year.
