This Correspondent Takes the
Part Of Deneen, But the People OF
Illinois Stay WithT. r.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
/ am q Progressive Republican and my

prised to read of the determination OF
Colonel Roosevelt to place an independ-
ent State ticket in the field In Illinois.
II there Is any man in the United states
to whom Colonel Roosevelt IL indebted.
It Is Gov. Charles 8. Deneen OF Illinois.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. De-
neen called the legislature Of Illinois In
to extra session and forced that body
to pass a Presidential preference pTi-
mary bill. Roosevelt secured hfty-six
Of the ffty-eight delegates because OF
the governors action. Without this, he
would not have had ten delegates from
Illinois In the national convention. The
firm stand assumed by Governor De-
neen gave Mr. Roosevelt an opportunity
to get into the contest, If Governor De.
neen had not done what he did, Colonel
Roosevelt would have been left at the
post He would not have been able
to even get started in the recent con
test for the nomination. IT strikes me
that the colonel is showing the rank

that Roosevelt always stood by M

STRAWS!

The Moss committee announces nothing more will
be done with the investigation of the charges that
the pure food laws not being lived up to by the
packing houses and that the meat inspection laws are
being disregarded This announcement comes after
the effort to smudge the reputation of Roosevelts
Administration had failed
The House committee that started to investigate
the beef combine and its relation to the high cost OF
living, the data for which were first published in The
Times grew weary in weldoing before it had scarce
ly gotten under way
1t took the prodding of Congressman Norris, pro-
gressive and Roosevelt supporter, to cause the COM
mttee to reconsider its conclusion to lay the matter
over until after election.
Why is it that spirit Of lassitude has seized all
Of the Democratic investigations that lead to the lair
of Big Business, and caused them to call of any prob
ing that cannot put Roosevelt in bad light2 And
why is that even in this day of boasted Democratic
opposition to Special Privilege it is only the prOgres

A PRACTICAL PIECE OF LEGISLATION.

Manifestly to make the same soil area produce
more in crops, and produce 1t longer, is the most
direct and conclusive answer to the cost-of-living
question. Notoriousy, the soil does not produce
ANYTHING like its reasonable capacity, because agr-
cultural methods not all they should be. The
development OF machinery to do about everything
on the farm has doubtless induced farming on big
SCALE to which the unavoidable coroary is less at
tention to details.
Vast increase in knowledge Of both methods and
science has been wrought in recent years by re-
search experiment, test and study. How to get the
results Of this work actually into the practice Of the
farmer is the big practical question. Valuable in
formation in Farmers Bulletin that doesn't get
into the farmers head and practice, is wasted. A
sort of university extension" system Is needed.
Looking to this end are several measures now
pending before Congress. The Smith-Lever bill looks
merely to this extension work. the Page bill includes
this and also provides for Federal cooperation with
the States in the introduction of agricultural educa
| tion in the common and secondary schools. The
latter, being broader, and looking to the develop
ment of trained body of agricutursts, capable OF
grasping and making the best use of scientific meth
DDS, would seem preferable. 1t proposes that the
Federal aid to agricultural education shall be dis
trbuted on the basis Of partnership with the States
dollar for dollar The States will be in general con-
troll The general scheme looks to the creation, ir
time, of an agricultural school in every rural Con
sressional district to the teaching of better agrcul
ture in the common schools of the country, and also
to the work of agricultural extension which the
Smth-Lever measure contemplates.
Both measures are good and useful; either woulC
accomplish a great practical purpose. They ART
addressed to one OF the most pressing issues Of ht
time. To pass either would be step in the righ
direction; the Page bill would be the longer step.

Congressman Norris of Nebraska, one of the
progressive Republicans who has fully demonstrated

President Taft for reelection states his willingness
to submit his to the Republicans of Nebraska

Roosevelt and President Taft will 60 to the hnish

This Correspondent Would Read the
Word Reasonable" Out Of q
Times Editorial.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Under the caption, Reforming the
Dining Car" there appeared in The
Times of July 20 an editorial Offering
suggestion that does not seem to me to
be particularly happy. The suggestion
is to "charge something extra for every
Ave minutes that the diner occupies
dining car space over a reasonable time
for his refreshment."
AS the editor couched his suggestion
in serious language, l take him seri-
ously, although / should prefer TO be
able honestly to credit him with a
subtle Righteousness beyond the reach
of my sense of humor. The majority
Of his readers, ] think. must have taken
him seriously. Some of these may have
dismissed the suggestion as not worthy
of notice; others may have charitably
credited Its author with having superb
digestive apparatus without the neces-
sary and highly useful accompaniment,
the discriminative palate; still others
but surely these must have a hopelessly
! rudimentary organ of taste-may have
agreed unreservedly with him.

RELYING ON IGNORANCE.

The Titanic disaster occurred in latitude 4l46,
longitude 5o.l4. Immediately thereafter the steam
ship companies formally adopted a much more
southerly course The fact that their vessels would
henceforth follow this presumably safer route was
announced all over the country by paid advertise
ments.
The travelling public wishes to be luled into no
false feeling of security Two liners came into
New York this week reporting icebergs in latitude
4l.4e longitude 5O07-about ten miles from where
the Titanic went down.
If the companies have gone back to the old
route, should not the public be told Of the fact?

STILL BEING KICKED AROUN'.

says the action of the Democratic House caucus in

the pary's Baltimore platform, upon which the ink
is scarcely dry proved that the party is unfit to be
trusted and is guilty of "squalid dishonesty"
Yet one Of the leaders in behalf of the ant-navy
program was Speaker Clark the recent candidate OF

The denial of Harry Thaw's third application to

well-empered justice 1t will discourage the practice
of going conveniently insane when one wishes to

thereafter in order to take ones place in society and
again become menace.
