"A VOTE FOR THE BOSSES"

In his letter to the Minnesota Republicans,
Colonel Roosevelt said:
vote for Mr. Taft is a vote for the bosses 1t is a
vote Lorimer for Penrose for Guggenhem for Gal
linger, and all the rest
If that is fair statement, it ought to be COM
pletey convincing with the people at large. Is it
fair?
Certainly Tafts Administration to date has
shown that "a vote for Mr.. Taft in 1908 was "a
vote for the Bosses" The bosses have had Mr..
Taft ever since. The legislation has been their
legislation, so far he could make it such.
The bosses didn't want Garfield, and did want
Banger. They we're accommodated
The bosses wanted Cannon kept as Speaker
Taft led the fight to keep him.
The bosses wanted Adrch to boss the tariff
revision. Taft helped keep Aldrch in power, and
declared Aldrich's bill the best ever
The bosses wanted bogus railroad bill Taft
got it up for them, and tried his utmost to get il
passed as he had prepared it,
The bosses wanted Commerce Court Taft
got it for them.
The bosses wanted Archibald on that Commerce
Court. Taft put him there.
The bosses wanted Lorimer retained. Taft wrote
to Roosevelt begging him not to write against Lori
mer in the Outlook
The bosses wanted the pure food law nullihed
and Wiley driven out. Wiley is gone
The bosses wanted the Roosevelt decision ir
favor of pure whisky set aside. Taft himself, wher
nobody else would do it for him, wrote the decision
that gave the bosses their way.
The bosses wanted-but why tax patience witt
the long enumeration They wanted to run the Ad
ministration. Taft has let them.
A vote for Taft in 1908 was surely vote To-
the Bosses Why are we to believe it will be differ
ent now? The bosses all for Taft and Taft il

CONGRESSMEN PLAY
"HOOKEY AND ARE
BROUGHT TO HOUSE
Filibuster Breaks Up Little
Party at the Ball
Game.

It's pretty tough that a member Of
Congress can't go out to see the bali
game these days without a sergeant at
arms pestering around and yanking
that member back to the House. At
least that's what a number Of states
men think today, following the manner
IN which they we're unceremoniousiy
taken from the park late yesterday.
Congressman Roddenbery of Georgia
and Congressman Mann OF Illinois are
responsible for the embarrassment OF
the statesmen fans. Mr.. Roddenbery
raised the race question In the House
during the consideration Of private
pension bills, and Mr.. Mann made q
point Of no quorum in order to put the
members on record on this mooted sub
ject.
But eighty-two members were present
when the point was made, and It required
nearly two hours to ind the hundred
odd needed to make a quorum. Quite a
number were located at the park, for
the Sergeant-at-Arms had happy
thought as soon as he glanced at the
clock and noted the game was on
The Roddenbery amendment pro-
posed that no pension money should be
paid to pensioners OF African descent
until the races are segregated In the
several national soldiers homes. The
Georgia member read letter from a
civil war veteran, now in home, who
resented the fact that white and colored
inmates occupy the same building. and.
in some instances. eat at the same
table.
Mr.. Roddenbery declared the races
should be separated, and a number OF
Southern members voted with him on
the roll call. The amendment was de-
feated by a vote Of 1877 to 4s, with thir,
teen members voting present, the total
being just a quorum.
As the captive members came In In
groups OF three to four-a taxicab load
they were much "kidded" by those
| statesmen who had been marking time
awaiting the roundup.
WHAT'S the scorer" came a voice
! from the back OF the hall.
The member addressed was protesting
that he had been attending 20 offlcia
business" when a rain check fell from
| his hat.
The short hlihuster Of Congressman
| Roddenbery came unexpectedly, anc
| the House fans had deemed II entirely
safe to venture out to the ball park.

THE MARYLAND ROAD COMMISSION.

very remunerative, patrons Of Maryland roads, and

is ventured that if he should put politics aside
and retain the services Of COL Frank C.. Hutton, OF
Montgomery county, the action would meet general
approval.
Mr.. Hutton during his service has built some OF
the finest roads in the country. They are at least
the equal of any Maryland has laid down, and they
are shown to have been absolutely the least expen.
sve. Mr.. Hutton has devised various plans for
reducing the cost Of frst-class construction he Is

ed under him, of using local materials and saving

perience and information that man woulc

be qualified for the task, to duplicate.

"MOTHERs' DAY." AND ITS MEANING

Tomorrow is Mothers Day. day which by
common consent will be observed throughout the
nation by the paying Of an especial tribute to the
memory of mothers who have left u.s. and to the
honor and sacredness of mothers still with us.
The custom is a fitting one, and yet why a
mothers "day?" Why not every day day for re-
vering the Of mother and the qualities that
make the name the most sacred of all human
names? We should be patriotic on every day, not
alone on July Fourth. We should be thankful every
day, not alone Thanksgiving. We should re-
member the Chrst-child every day, not alone on
Christmas. Holidays are helpful if they do not in
cline us to confne the outpourng of our sentiment
on those days alone
The memory and name of mother means what
it does, because it stands for sacrifice service, for
gveness, charity, and undying faith in the object Of
its solictude. These the qualities that animate
the mother every day, every hour. They are the
qualities that most needed today in all lines OF
human activity, and they are needed every day.
Laws, institutions, machinery, opportunity all
count for little after all in the great scheme o climb
ing upward toward the ideal unless behind them is
the mother-spirit of losing ones self, pouring out
ones self, and exercising boundless charity. 1t
! is the spirit that gives life to all human endeavor.
May we honor it tomorrow, and practice it every
day thereafter!

THE cUMMINs BILL REPORTED.

Between the humane, practical, considerate,
and statesmanly measure which Senator Cummins
has had reported from his Civil Service Committee
for retirement and pensioning of civil service en-
poyes, and the brutal, demorazing proposal of
cooly forcing people out of the service at sxtyhve
years of age, there is great gulf fixed. Senator
Cummins has, by dint of long application and study,
placed this civil service problem a plane.
He has put it before Congress in form that
sures consideration Of its real merits, its vast
pexities and profound difficulties.
Senator Cummins has employed the most ex-
pert actuarial assistance in working out his plan II
proposes to establish, in approximately twenty
years. a balance between the contributions of the
employees and the cost of the pensions that shall
be paid those who are retired, and thus make the
scheme carry itself without direct contribution from
the Treasury.
But meanwhile, because there is now such a
great accumulation Of superannuated workers, it
will be necessary for the Treasury to invest con-
siderable annual sum in direct payment Of their pen
sions This is the penalty that the Government
must pay for its long period of neglect Of this diff
hcut question. The longer action is postponed, the
greater will be the cost of doing the thing in this
the only right way, else the greater will be the
nhumanity of doing it by looping off the super
annuates.
protests, on principle, against creating civil pen
sion list But the fact stands that in some fashion
or other it must be done. If great industrial cor
poration finds after hard-headed experiment. that
it is sound business-that it pays-to adopt such
u system, what excuse can the Government, which
ought to be model employer, find for doing less
for its army Of faithful workers? No other en-
ployer of large bodies Of workers has so much diff
fculty in retaining the best and most efficient; and
the reason is plain. The Government pays small
salaries, provides sadly limited opportunity for ad
vancement, and gives no consideration at all to the
ultimate future of its people. Private employment
is more attractive; the Government service is be-
come too much training school from which people
60 out at the first opportunity to seize the more
attractive and remuneratve chances that the genera
business world affords Such condition can make
only for a lower and lower standard of efficiency
and stability in the Government service.
Something based on the Cummins scheme viii
at length have to be made law. The longer the de
lay, the more its Inauguration will cost. Why no
do it nova

Raise Everything Except the Clerks
Salaries-That Seems to BE
Where the Boosted Economy Is
Most Efficient.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Again the poor Government Clerk
is the subject for much discussion, and
this time as before, when the great
question Of economy is raised, reduc-
tions and dismissals in the service are
what can be expected, instead of a gen
ersl increase of salary in all depart
ments which the clerks had been hop
ing and praying might be accomplish
ed by Congress during this session; and
also trusting to the lawmakers of
this great and thriving nation to And
II in their hearts to encourage these
clerks who have long kept the wheels
of the Government machines in motion,
by legislating the bill making this gen
eral raise in the scale of salaries. which
without doubt, would be a greater stim-
ulus for more efficient and faithful SER
vice and therefore effect the economical
situation, for the betterment of the
Government, as against the discourag-
Ing outlook by reductions and dismis-
sails Is not the cost of living in Wash

for the members Of Congress, and now
with the bill for raising salaries of pri-
vate secretaries, there will also be a
raise in food prices naturally, for the
markets and boarding houses in Wash.

We Wish Mr.. Taft Disliked Boss Cox

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
! have read your editorial in Tues

this editorial you endeavor to make 1t
appear that President Taft has formed
an alliance with the odius George B.
Cox. You certainly do not expect any
person who has the slightest familiar
ity with Ohio politics to accept your
statement as being true? 1t was Presi-
dent Taft in his Akron speech OF 1906
who was responsible for Cox's over
throw That speech resulted in the de-
feat of Governor Herrick and the cleo
tion OF Judson Harmon. 1t was fear
less and to the point. Is II pcssible that
you are deludtng yourself with the be-
lief that the public has forgotten the
intimacy that has always existed be-
tween Roosevelt and Boss Cox? Do
you recall the fact that after the Ham
ilton Club episode, when Roosevelt dra-
festal board with William Lorimer. the
redou btable colonel visited Cincinnap
and attended a dinner given by Nick
Longworth? Sitting at his right at this
dinner was George B. Cox and Roose.
