The men of the Utah are especially

one of the very latest acquisitions to
the United States navy.

Nathan NJ Wilmington in Newburyport, Mass Herald.

How are the mighty fallen! What
strange vicissitudes in the life of
man, and especially in the career of
a public man! A year ago Senator La
Toilette was the chief apostle of the
Republican insurgents, their acknowl
edged leader and without rival. lie
had distinguished himself as gov
ernor of Wisconsin and made that
state a model on which other states
aimed to frame their public policy.
He had, as new senator, forced his
way against the opposition of older
senators of both parties to a new man,
to recognition in the front rank in
that august body. Only a few weeks
ago he was the acknowledged head of
what was called the progressive
movement in the republican party,
and if President Taft was to have a
rival set up against him Senator La

as suddenly as the great Babylonian
king he was turned out to grass with

plies but a few delegates from North

two scattering. 1t is like the trans

Peril OF CAESARISM
BY Arthur Wilmington in Newburyport, Mass, Herald

Drawn by lot from the freemen of the
county of Essex, and a trial by jury
of his peers of twelve men drawn in
the same way, we have the rule of
the people. And whenever that right
coming down as it does from Magma
Charta is assailed as it was in 1894,
when judges sitting in courts of
equity attempted to administer the
criminal law without a trial by jury
there will be found some giant in
tellect like John P. Altgeld to make
an assault on the courts" which has
merit in its cause. The positive leg
islation desired by the people can be
had the moment they make demand
and there are plenty of cowardly leg
isJators to pass half-baked laws like
Cur presidential primary system on
the mere whisper that the people want
it. In fact there are a thousand men
in Massachusetts today searching for
a popular issue to advance their polit-
ical prospects. What is difficult is
arousing people to take an interest
in real political reforms and not the
enacting of the reforms after the in
terest has been created,
The one great obstacle that democ-
Tacy has to contend with is the
tendency to make hero Of leader
and when that leadei has not the
power of self-abnegation so often dis
played by Abraham Lincoln 20 ride

the name of liberty erect an empire.
1t is most fitting that John s. c, Alb

raphers of Napoleon, should have q

of Theodore Roosevelt which is the
symptom of disease. 1t means that

increase.
This makes the case duubly dg.
gravating, that while the Senator
had cultivated the field and raised
the crop. it should be seized by one
who had done nothing in the tillage.
Nobody had ever heard of Roose-
welt as an insurgent or as favoring
insurgency until La Toilette had
blazed the way and done all the ;u-
tellectual parts of the work. But that
is in line with the eX-president's
whole career He does not originate
ideas nor policies, but puts electric
energy into the ideas and policies of
others, and this energy is sometimes
not in strict line with the constitu-
ton and laws of the Union. Senator
La Toilette is a man of great energy
and force of character and notably
superior to the other in intellect and
original ideas. but he can not com
pare with the man who has super
seeded him in the titanic force which
Roosevelt puts into every undertake
ing.
Here is a remarkable situation as
affecting the republican party, The
split between the Taft and Roosevelt
supporters is wider and deeper than
that which separates either faction
from the democratic party, while so
far as personalities are concerned II

OF my personal acquaintance who has
fought for great reforms for twenty
years who has any faith in Roosevelt.

heard in his state of any reform tina.
Matthew Hale or Arthur Hill has ever
advocated or now advocates? Where
did James r. Garfield, William Allen
White, Charles ]. Bonaparte and
George w. Perkins win their radical
spurs? In fact Theodore Roosevelt's
career is marked by his opposition
to great reformers. He began his
career by running for mayor Of New
York against the greatest force in
modern political reform, Henry
George. In 1896 he said he expected
to meet John p. Altgeld on the field
OF battle and he hoped to see him
lined up under wall and shot. In
1910 amidst the most tremendous
English reform movement he rushed
to call on Joe Chamberlain and didn't
think Lloyd-George worthy of his at
tention.

convince himself, If elected for a
third term, that his rule was lndis-

doctrine that whatever is right is

ANOTHER LAND
PATENT DENIED

BIO. May 30.-The second of the
test cases brought b. the Territory
against the applicants for patents to
homesteGds in the Kauwih III tract,
Hakalau, was decided yesterday in
favor Of the Territory. In the case
decided by Judge Parsons yesterday,
Manuel Nicolsu de Souza was denied
his application for patent on the
grounds that he had not fulfilled the
conditions of demonstrating as regards
the cultivation of a portion of the land
or the planting of trees. The decision
also states that the nonass ignment
of interest clause in the homestead
agreement is unfulflled.
This ceSe differs from that OF the
Henderson test cas- in that it was
brought under right-Of-purchase
lease, although the points made by the
government were similar TO those ad-
vanced against the Henderson claim,
which was under a homestead lease.
Judge Parsons decision followed
along the lines laid down by the SUI
preme court in the appealed Hender-
son test case.
