GEOGRAPHY OF PRESIDENT

1t has been about sixty-four
years since Virginia was the
mother of president, but she is
going to take up again her old oc-
cnpation of furnishing the cour.
try with it's chief executive.
For Woodrow Wilson will be
elected i'm November. 1t is so
written in the book of politica Il
destiny.
In way Mr.. Wilson is a CON-
posite citizen; for, besides his ma.
tive state, he has lived in North
Carolina, Georgia and New Jer-
sey. That he was a good citizen
everywhere is proved by the fact
the each of these States is laying
partial claim to him as a son.
But Virginia having horned"
him will write him in her list of
president-sons. Her roster runs
Washington, jefferson, Madison.
Monroe, Harrison, Tyler and Tay-
lor.
The geography Origins of our
presidents is interesting as a study
of sections and their varying in
fuences on public questions. Dur
INT the formative period of the
republic it was Virginia and
Massachusetts, that contributed
the chief official to the govern
ment. 1t was not until the seventh
president that the election got
away from these two sections.
Next to Virginia, Ohio has been
the presidential mother with the
largest number, of sons. Her list
numbers six: Grant, Hayes, Gar |
field, the second Harrison, McKin-
ley and Taft.
North Carolina and New York
have each given three presidents.
Those from the former were
Jackson, Polk and johnson. AL
though born in North Carolina, it
is strange coincidence that each
of these men had become Ten
nesseeans and went to Washing
ton from this State.
New York's contributions are
Van Buren, Fillmore and Roose-
welt; Fillmore falling heir to the
unexpired term of his chief. Zach.
cry Taylor.
New England claiming to be the
intellectual hub of the country,
has produced only four chief Of
ficials, all told. Of these, Mass
chussetts gave the elder and the
younger New Hmpshire gave
franklin Pierce, and Vermont
Chester A. Arthur.
New Jersey is represented by
Grover Cleveland, Pennsylvania
by James Buchanan, and Kentuc-
ky by Abraham Lincoln.
These are the geographical
bearing" of the men who have
served the country as chief execu-
tives. In November the choice will
again lie between Virginia and
Ohio as the next mother" AM,

MACYEAGH URGES
MORE SYSTEM IN
BUILDING UP CITY
Secretary of Treasury Makes
Address to Washington
Board of Trade.

THE reason you find It so difficult to
get Congress to carry out your ideas
for the development OF the city is that
the American people do not know, much
less appreciate, the needs of Washing
ton. There has been no publicity CAL
culated to impress upon the constitu-
ents Of your common counsel the need
FOR larger expenditures for the Capital
and the need for other legislation which
you see.'
Thus did Secretary Franklin Mac
Veagh. of the Treasury. point out to
about 400 members Of the washington
Board of Trade at the New Willard Ho-
tel last night the need for a campaign
Of publicity about Washington through
out the country.
1t would be very easy to have Con-
gressmen and Senators give attention
to District matters II their constitu-
ents back home we're aware OF the
needs of the Capital city"
Secretary MacVeagh made this sug-
gestion to the Board members at the
conclusion of stirring address upon
Washington affairs in which he de-
plared the haphazard way in which the
suburbs of the city are being permit
ted to be built up, like a patch OF
weeds"
Plan For Development.
The Secretary pointed out the neces-
sIty OF more adequate plan for the
development of the suburbs than is
furnished by the MCMILLAN park plan.
a plan which would regulate the now
helter-skelter building OF the suburban
sections in the way the Mcmillan plan
regulates the Mall and the treatment
of the heart of the city.
Secretary MacVeagh also made O def
lxalt
District themselves, out of their own
resources. undertake this work. He
showed how difficult II Is to get action
from Congress, because the country
lens, and declared that II would be
profitable for the people who live in
Washington to undertake themselves
the solution OF some of the problems
upon Federal appropriations.
Turning then to the Federal Govern
ments share In the Capital, the speaker
declared that It rs the duty of the
American Government to make Wash
| ington a standard city, as model for
every other city in the country. in every
respect"
Shuster Is Invited.
Following the Secretary's address,
! which brought loud applause, r. II.
Warner presented a resolution calling
upon the District Commissioners to con-
slider whether some plan could not be
devised to extend the District regulation
OF the Maryland and Virginia suburbs
of the District. suggesting some form
| of cooperation with the two States
| whereby an orderly development of the
| contiguous territory might be brought
| about. The resolution was adopted.
He also offered resolutions inviting
Board of Trade, that the board indorse
the work of Mrs. Henry F. Dimock. of
\ New York. for the George Washington
| Memorial Convention Hall. and that a
| street railway be built to the American
| University. which were adopted.

WHITE PHOSPHORUS BILL PASSED.

About the best thing Congress has done so far
this session is to pass the bill imposing prohbitive
tax matches that are made from poisonous white
phosphorus. The measure was put through the
Senate after vigorous debate 1t has already passed
the House and will shortly be signed by the Pres
dent. The proposed law does not in terms prevent
the manufacture of matches made out of the poison
Gus white phosphorus, but the revenue tax imposed
such matches will drive them out Of business.
1t so happens that the fathers we're not wise
enough to perceive that situations might arise that
would make it imperative for Congress to legislate
directly for the suppression of industries that were
menace to the public health The result is that the
end has to be reached through the indirect route of
taxation. That this route will be effective, however
and that the bill will stand the test Of the courts is
not doubted
1t was to be expected that the measure which is
calculated to abolish the loathsome industrial dis
eases that have been visited on employees in match
factories the result Of working about white phos-
phorus would pass without the Constitution being
invoked to block it, In the Of the Senate de-
bate, Senator Bailey declamed against the bill on the
ground Congress had not the power to enact such
legislation. The Senate refused to go on record to
the effect Congress lacking in authority to do
what every civilized nation in the world has DONE
Senator Lodge properly pointed out the absurdty of
assuming that the United States thus helpless to
act in such matter. 1t is case in which common
sense rather than fine spun theories of constitutional
limitations Of power ought to goven and Congress
has wisely taken, in effect, this view of it.

MR.. TAFT NOT A PROGRESSIVE.

Theodore Roosevelt in his speech at Louisville
went straight to the proposition Of whether President
Taft is progressive. The question is important to
the progressives Of the country who being called
on to support Mr.. Taft for the nomination and who
will be urged to vote for him should he be nomi-
mated
President Taft and his lieutenants are insistently
putting forth the claim that he is progressive and
that his record in the White House has been that Of
progressive.
Colonel Roosevelt went back over the record Of
the President and applied the acid test to il. The
result of any such test is to show up the faacious
ness of the representations that Mr.. Taft is follow
ing the tenets Of progressvism.
1t would not be easy to point single important
progressive step that President Tafts Administration
has taken except in certain instances where the pro-
gresSive sentiment of the country has absolutely
driven it unwillingly to take such steps.
Some progress has been made by the people in
this Administration it is true, but it has been the
progress akin to that made by man who has the
task of driving along unwilling horse that baIks
on the slightest provocation
Does anybody suppose that if Mr.. Taft were
really progressive he would be yoked up with
Mckinley, and Cannon, and Penrose, and Smoot,
and Crane, and Barnes and others of our most emi-
nent reactionaries?
Four year ago Mr.. Taft was winning support
on the ground that he was a progressive. He was
taken at his word. He the nomination and the
election. But he has to make his fight this year in
his true coors. 1t is impossible to keep up the
masquerade indefinitely.

SAVED BY NONPARTIsANsHIP.

They have learned lesson in Milwaukee and
will appeal to the legislature to pass nonpartisan
city election statute. The people of Milwaukee
turned to the Socialists to help them out of Difficult
ties left around by the od-stye Republican and DEM
ocratic city bosses, who there elsewhere, grated
impudently and cared not how the public Jared so
long they fattened themselves. Emil Seidel So
eialist was elected mayor in a three-cornered con-
test polling 10000 votes, and this year he was
beaten though he polled over 10000 votes. His
administration, even if it did bungle things up more
or less, converted large number of people to the
Socialist side; it strengthened the Socialist cause
fully so per cent in Milwaukee, as the figures will
show; but at the Same time it acted warning to
the alert citizens outside the Socialist ranks and
taught them that if they wanted to save the city from
becoming thoroughly Socialistic they must combine

sure that the city government would be directed in
nonpartisan, completely public-spirted manner.

ONE GREAT COAL STRIKE ENDED.

The end Of the great strike in England which
vas costing that country $50,000,Oo0 a week, is an
outcome that will give great relief to the nation.
The end arrived because of the decision Of the min
ers themselves that continuance of the struggle
should require the vote of two-thirds Of the men
not majority. The governments minimum wage
bill did not appeal to the majority but it proves to
have won the leaders, who have declared that they
had won enough and would lose instead OF advance
by further resistance
The liberal government has really settled the
contest for the miners but the reckoning remains.
The ministry will get little glory The country will be
the more ready to accept, at a new outbreak the
idea that the government take over the mines and
work them. And the naturalization idea is one

manner He did not protest or make scene, even
though he was told just where he was going His
first objection was to the fare of the place, which
did not meet with the approval of his palate. His
tastes are said to be epicurean. He soliloquized
thusly, "Of course, poor Dewey is insane, but
am not and | will be out of here inside Of week
and make up for this feed in the dinner will have
at a hotel" His self-communion was by no means
Macbethian in character. He was out within the
week. Now the solons of Massachusetts are seri-
ousy considering, If this law is not rather harsh in
its spirit and letter and liable to bring much un-
necessary hardship and with the opening for mali
ciousness offered afford opportunity for unscrupu
lous people to gain, whereas it only intended to
protect the sane who might be considered insane.

THE LIGHT OF REASON" AGAIN.

M. Chief Justice White writing his dissenting
opinion in the patent monopoly case, lighted anew
the lamp Of reason by which he contemplated the
Standard Oil case before deciding it, There was
much bitter criticism of the courts decision in that
Ii charged that the justices had in effect
interpolated the word reasonable" into the Sher-
man act.
Yet, in general way the Chief Justice follows
tle same reasoning in the patent case as in the
trust case The courts majority found legal justf-
cation for the creation of burdenSome monopoly
under patent Justice White simply refused to
any justification for such an excess Looking at
IL IN the light Of reason, he didn't believe Congress
ever meant the patent laws to be stretched in such
fashion, and he protested against decision thus
unreasonable.
The application of reasonableness, of plain COM
mon sense, to he social-economic problems that
nowadays are the most important reaching the Su-
rreme Court ought to be encouraged, not denounced
II is useless protest that the court ought to have
no economic mind" but only legal mind" That
sounds we'll il comes trppingIy from the tongue of
