ELECTORS OF |. R.
QUIT TAFT TICKET
Pennsy Republicans and Bull
Moose Followers Reach
Agreement.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 14.-An
agreement was reached at a joint con-
ference of Republican and Washing
ton party leaders at the Bellevue
Stratford, by which the Roosevelt
electors will be withdrawn at once
from the Republican ticket and there
will be substituted real Republicans,
who will support the candidacy of
President Taft.
This. action, participated in by rep
resentatives of all factions concerned
in the settlement of the electoral
question, ends the turmoil over the
electoral ticket in Pennsylvania.
Chairman Henry G. WATSON. of the
Republican State Committee, arranged
the conference and the participants
were former Senator William. Finn,
of Pittsburgh; Thomas L. Hicks,
Washington party State chairman;
Mayor William A. Magee. of Pitts
burgh, who announced himself in
favor of Taft's candidacy on the eve
of the conference; Senator James P.
McNichol and Representatives WILL
lam S. Ware, representing the Repub-
lican city committee, and A. Nevin
DIETRICH. secretary of the Roosevelt
State committee.
Republican Chairman WATSON made
an authorized statement at the end
of the two-hour session. in which he
said: 1.-The representatives of the
Washington party will file their
papers for Roosevelt electors with the
secretary of the committee inn
mediately so as to expedite matters.
ITO avoid the possibility of trouble
over technical defects, LAWYERS for both
sides have gone over the papers care
fully and reported that the plan was
perfectly legal.
"A call will go out Immediately for
the converting of the State committee
and the State committee will be asked
to appoint a subcommittee with au-
thority to fill vacancies on the State
ticket"

GALLAGHER'S ACT
T|CKLES WAKELH
committeeman's Resignation
Looks to Him Like Further
Detection in Wilson's Party.

The following statement was given
out for publication today at Republic
can State headquarters:
Chairman Wakelee commented
with apparent enjoyment on the resig-
nation Of Mercer County Leader
Charles Gallagher from the Demo-
cratic State Committee.
HE stated that he looked for many
more OBJECTIONS from the Governors
party, not only on account of the
Governors unwillingness to work
with his party, as evidenced by the
fight he is making on Senator Smith,
and by his attempt to interfere with
the making of the State ticket in New
York, but also from the fact that the
business men of the country cannot
tolerate the Governors academic
views on the tariff. No man In large
business in the United States, except
perhaps a few importers, is willing
to allow the markets of this country
to be made a dumping ground for the
surplus products of countries that are
manufacturing rivals.
1.-THE chairman also drew attention
to the fact, as stated in the Phila-
delphia Press, that the Progressive
movement is a subsiding fever. In
the COLORADO primary the Progress
sives were utterly routed by the reg
ular Republicans. In Maine the Pro-
gressive strength was so small as to
make it useless to nominate a third
ticket.
He also considered the voting in
Michigan, Vermont and Washington
as proof that the Roosevelt party can
do nothing for itself. Its continued
existence may help the Democrats in
close States, but cannot affect the
general result. as in all probability
losses to the Republican party from
Progressive votes will be offset by
gains from conservative Democrats.
chairman Wakelee also thinks he
sees evidence OF a lack of cohesive
ness among the Progressives, not
only because of their reported dis
sessions in various States, but also
because their principal newspaper
organ, the Evening Mail, of New
York, owned by Mr.. Perkins, stated
in large type last evening that Mr..
Roosevelt had been useful to the
party as a torch-bearer, but had now
become a follower of the movement,
and hat it was no longer proper
to call the third party the Roose-
welt party.

sense not 50 much, for they are OF

STATE LOST TO c. o. p?

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-George w.
Perkins, director of the Roosevelt
third party's national campaign, said
he had seen a letter which William
Barnes. jr., wrote and sent out solic-
iting subscriptions to the Republican
campaign. In the letter. it is said,
Barnes stated it would require $780,
600 for the Republican campaign in
this State alone.
Even If Barnes should get 5000, 000,'
said Mr.. Perkins, "Ill tell him one
thing. he never will carry New York
in this election"
Then Perkins ook a shot at Wood
row Wilson, the Democratic candi-
date. He said he was interested in
the report that Wilson had snubbed
Governor Dix and Charles F. Murphy
in Syracuse.

FUSION OPPOSED
BY DEMOCRATS
Regular Organization Against
Alliance With Keystones
in Pennsy.

HARRISBURG. Sept. 4-State flu
sion between the Democrats and Key
stone parties was the principal thing
discussed here at a three-hour ses-
sion of the Democratic State execu-
tive committee. The question had
also been thoroughly threshed prior
to this meeting at a conference at
tended by thirteen Democratic candi-
dates for Congress.
Both meetings were executive ses-
sions, but 1t is said that after the
congressional candidates lad report
ed to the members of the executive
committee that all the members of
the latter body expressed themselves
as opposed to State fusion, although
they favor fusion between the two
parties in the districts.

NO SMALLER FRACTIONAL CURRENCY.

IT T is understood that the popular demand for the halfcent
and three. cent pieces is not to be granted, the treasury
department and the Senate finance committee being
opposed. The adverse influence comes from the street railroad
companies and the manufacturers of cash registers and slot
machines. There are also some prudent publishers who fear
the advent of the half penny newspaper. The half penny would
be a boon TO the wage-earners and to the multitude of the poor,
but there are really so many special interests involved that
this boon cannot be granted. All other nations have the small
fractional currency, but also do they have all the benefits of
a real parcel post, which Congress has denied us.

FOREIGN POST DIX BALM

SYRACUSE. Sept. IA foreign
mission for Governor Dix is the very
latest thing In Democratic gossip.
Woodrow Wilson when he reaches the
White House is to send Dix's name to
the Senate as ambassador to Spain
or Italy, or maybe Greece. Any one
of the lnnocuous ~monarchies of Eu-
rope will do.
Senator O'Gorman, they say, al
ready has preached the subject to
Wilson. putting it to the candidate
for President hat a qualified promise
of a foreign mission will make 1t that
much easier to turn down Dix i'm the
State convention, which will be held
mere on October /.

NO BENEFIT TO THE CONSUMER.

eTa HE anthracite coal carrying railroads may be ordered by
the Interstate Commerce Commission in October to reduce
their excessive traffic rates, but as the railroads own or
control the coal mines it will only be a matter of bookkeeping,
like the disso' ution of Standard Oil and Tobacco. The con
sumner will get none Of the benefit. And the coal barons are
even now getting ready TO put winter prices skyhigh. Abso-
lutte divorce of the railroad from the coal company is the first
essential step for the relief of the people from the systematic
robbery they have endured for years TO build mp the coal roads
and make great fortunes for their owners.

THE FANATIC JAPANESE SOLDIER.

cTa HE passionate devotion of the japanese soldier and sailor
to the emperor, so %strikingly exhibited in The war with
Russia, was exemplifed in the suicide of the famous com
mander, General Count Nogi during the imperial obsequies at
Toxic yesterday. 1t was that trait of the Japanese character
which won the great battles in Manchuria and in the Sea of
tJapan. The military value of patriotic fanaticism is well known
10 historians. 1t made an Arab tribe the conquerors of Asia,
North Africa and Spain, and threatened to make Europe
|Mohammedan. 1t makes Japan a formidable neighbor on the

THE CULT OF HUMAN SACRIFICE.

IN LII the Asiatic nations have, in some form, the death cult
that led General Count Nogi and his wife to deliberately
sacrifice their lives as a tribute to their dead emperor.
China has it. A disgraced mandarin commits suicide. In
India for ages the widow of a Hindoo submitted herself to be
burned on the suffice. The funeral rites of Asiatc potentates in
the past included human sacrifice. But we do not have to go
back many centuries in Europe to read of the slaughter of men
and women to grace the obsequies of a tribal chief or con
oueror. Our own remote ancestors were not unlike the Asiatics.
