PROGRESS AND LOYALTY.

Ex-Governor Stokes Of New Jersey
has made q retort upon the Hon. Ever
EFT Colby OF New Idea" repute which
for its cogency and effectiveness de-
serves to be commended TO the cOnsld-
Grafton of all who are inclined TO fol-
low Mr.. Colby and other Third Term
politicians in their desertion and would
he betrayal of the party with which
they have hitherto been associated.
Mr.. Colby was reported to have con-
demned Mr.. stokes for remaining in the
Republican party after having adyo-
Gated the nomination of Colonel RoOse-
Welt at Chicago, and to have charac-
terized his course as treason to the
Progressive cause.
Mr.. Stokes admits that he favored
Colonel Roosevelt's nomination. He
entered the Presidential primaries as
Il Progressive, but also as Repub-
lican, as did Mr. Colby. When, how
ever, he was defeated at the Chicago
convention ne did not conceive it to
be his duty TO bolt. He had entered
primaries ard convention in good faith.
and he considered that good faith and
loyalty required him to abide by the
result He thought, and he urged 1t
upon Mr.. Colby at that time, as he now
reminds him, that It was incumbent
upon them both to remain In thG party
and to seek its reform from within.

POLICE AND CoLoNIZERs.

The Investigations Of the Honest Bal
lot Association, non-partisan BODY
comprising supporters Of all the lead
ing Presidential candidates, disclose
plans for extensive election frauds
which should have the attention OF
Police Commissioner Waldo. His Or
ders TO the police, however well in
tended. directly play into the hands OF
the illegal voters who have been colo
nized in several Assembly districts
and who if not interfered with will, ac-
cording to the Burns detective agency,
cast between 1900 and 1000 fraudu-
lent ballots tomorrow.
b If the police, instead of being sta
toned in the polling booth in full
sight Of the voting, as heretofore, are
placed on the street, as the Commits
sioner now directs, ito preserve out
ward order and decency," so to speak,
and are also forbidden to make arrests
without warrant Of persons voting IL
legally unless the offences are COM
mitted In their presence, the colonizers
will enjoy practical immunity. They
can take their chance Of voting at one
polling place, and, even If detected
can move on unhindered to another.
The request Of the Honest Ballot Asso-
citation for such modification OF the
orders to the police as will make the
force a really effective instrument FOR
the prevention OF illegal voting and
the arrest Of repeaters should be
needed by the Police Commissioner.
He cannot be ignorant of the fact that
this organized colonization, Of which
the detectives have found specific evil
dence Is in the interest Of Tammany.
He should on that account be espe-
cially watchful and avoid any possible
complaint that the Tammany city adj
ministration had, through change In
police methods, facilitated frauds by
its own partisans.

THE RECORD.

On this last day before the election
every man who is qualified TO vote to-
morrow ought to give at least a little
time to thinking about his obligation
and his opportunity.
First of all, he should resolve TO vote.
If he has intelligence and an active
conscience ne must realize that TO
refuse or neglect to take part in the
election would be an ignoble desertion
of duty. He must also. if he has intel
ligence and an active conscience, ac-
knowledge that President Taft has
been faithful, honest and patriotic, and
must feel a strong desire to rebuke
those who have falsely accused him Of
exhibiting the opposite qualities.
That last consideration, such is hui
man nature, may of itself determine a
good many votes; but most of the
voters ask for something more. We
urge those who are looking for proof
that the President is also wise, eff
Gent and progressive to study the
record of his administration.
He has done much, and all that it
was possible to do, to take the tariff
out Of politics and revise the sched-
uleS one at a time. with full knowl-
edge Of facts and needs, by means OF
Il permanent Tariff Board. He has Sc
cured the establishment of postal saw
ings banks and the initiation of Il
real parcels post system. He has OBJ
tanned the passage Of a federal en-
ployers' liability act. He has helped
to strengthen the federal power in
regulating interstate commerce and to
enlarge the jurisdiction Of the commits
sion. He has enormously extended the
field of civil service regulation in the
interest of -partisanship and eff
cheney. He has labored increasingly
for economy in the public service and
actually brought about substantial
reduction of appropriations. He has
INDICATED the antitrust act by caus-
ing it to be steadily enforced against
transgressors. He has been foremost
in the cause Of international peace,
and in particular has effectually re-
sisted strong pressure and temptation
to embroil the United states with
Mexico. He has promoted by practical
steps, in contrast to visionary schemes,
the conservation Of national resources.
He has stood immovably for those
safeguards of life, liberty and the pur-
suit Of happiness which the Constltu-
ton provides, and for its amendment
as occasion demands by the deliberate
and orderly methods which it pro-
vides.
He has done his work justly and
patiently. and with a deep sense Of
public care. as the President of all the
people. He has spoken and acted the
truth at all times and under all cir
cumstanceS.

HADLEY FOR SECOND PLACE,

II is evident that Governor HerDert
| S. Hadley of Missouri will be maze
the Republican candidate for Vice
President as soon as the national COM
mittee Is able TO meet and fill the va
cancy on the ticket caused by the
death Of Vice President Sherman. Inc
replies received by The Tribune from

bIIity of an early indication OF the
nrohable candidate showed the trend
of opinion to be In his favor. Chair
man Hilles now announces tnat ol

ton. he has indirect statements from
or representing other members, so tlat
the sentiment of a majority or the
committee is understood, and hVe-
! seventies of that majority is ready 10
approve Mr. Hadley's selection.
President Taft has let 1t be known
that Mr.. Hadley's nomination would
be agreeable to him. In fact, ne
wanted Mr.. Hadley as his running
mate four years ago, but those VINO
were at that time his closest couh-
sellers and instrumental in bringing

ton Of Mr.. Sherman. Governor hau-
lev is n sane, progressive man, whose

Republican principles have made MN

Mr. Taft before he had achieved ma
tional reputation. The practical as

circumstances vote the Republican

ing of voting in the dark, ana prevents

BIRDS AND BUGS.

The annual meeting Of the National
Association Of Audubon Societies mas
called attention again TO the whole
sale destruction of birds and TO the
disastrous results which are likely 10
follow so marked q disturbance or the
balance Of nature. At the same time
DR.. HoTnaday, the Director OF the
New York Geological Park. puts FOR
ward circular letter OH the SUBJECT
with Il report from a committee or the
Fourth National Conservation Con-
gress. It is represented that five mill
ion men and boys are slaughterins
birds in this country, and that insect
pests are inflcting losses OF hundreds
of millions Of dollars yearly upon the
nation. most Of which would lie
averted If the birds had not been de-
stroyed. Ii is, therefore, urged that
Congress should. At this winters ses-
sion. enact one Of the three bills which
are now before It for the protection OF
migratory birds.
There may be those who will regard
the statements made as exaggerated,
though they are. in fact, probably well
within the limits Of truth. There may
be those who do not take interest III
wild life and who do not love birds
for either their beauty or their mel
ody. But even the most unsympathetic
unitarian must find food for thought
I'm the indubitable statistics Of losses
from insect pests and Of expenses in
Cured In artifcially fighting them. II
must be evident to the practical mind,
moreover that any considerable elimi-
nation of bird life unfavorably AFFECTS
the balance of natural forces. \ large
proportion Of birds are distinctively IN
sectiyorous. Their existence ana ac-
tlvities in normal numbers Keep the
insects from becoming too numerous
and conversely their destruction anordS
the insects opportunity to Increase
abnormally.
That Is the logic of the case. and II
is not TO he overthrOwn. II explains
why certain insect pests have so enor-
mously increased in recent years, NJ Il
cost Of hundreds Of millions to the
country. Certainly it suggests in the
most direct and convincing manner the
need Of prompt legislation for what
ever protection to insect-destroylns
birds it is possible to afford. 1t IS
probably true. as stated, that the Yalue
OF the birds as insect destroycrs is far
greater than that Of their feathers
and of their flesh for food. Certainly
il seems like the economics OF bedIaiIl
TO spend vast sums in inefficient arti-
fetal efforts to subdue insect pests
when the birds would do the work
ever so much more efficiently at no
cost to us, if only We would let them
do It,

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The total business Of the New York
Stock Exchange during last week was
not important, either in volume or as
indicating the sentiment OF the market.
In the early part of the week the ten
dency was downward, while during the
latter days there was a recovery In
prices and the trading tone was
stronger. The action OF the market
however, could not be accepted as re-
6ecting the passing events which
usually influence trading sentiment.
The week, which was shortened by the
closing OF the exchange on Saturday
out Of respect TO Vice-President Sher-
man, will hold a place in Stock EX-
change records Of 1912 as witnessing
the highest call money rates up TO No
vember z.
Business in trade and industrial
branches continued TO move with slight
interruption toward the promised de-
velopment Of general prosperity, Of
which the weeks and months for long
time have given continued evidences.
There has been particular activity
among the steel and iron industries
supplying railroad equipment. The pur-
chases of the railroads have been
heavy, and the october records of steel
and iron production eclipsed all former
records. There has been an increasing
demand for steel specialties, and in
some OF the plants night shifts have
been put on TO meet the requirements
for deliveries. one Of the important
events In the steel trade was the plac-
ing last week by the New York Central
Railroad Of the largest all-steel pas
senger car contract ever recorded. The
contract called for the delivery in 1913
Of 207 coaches, for which practically
81, 100000 will be paid. In other indus
tries reports have been relatively en-
couraging. 1t Is worthy of note that
In harmony with the industrial output
the distribution through mercantile
channels has been active. In the dry
goods line there was reported both
an Improvement In trade and pro-
nounced firmness in prices, and this
included the numerous departments of
the drygoods output, showing a broad
ening Of mercantile demands. The one
line OF business which was said not to
be up to expectations is footwear for
spring delivery, but manufacturers are

rAvoRs BRONX COUNTY BILL
Jones's Protest Ineffective, Mr.. Vic
tor Asserts.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The letter of my friend, j. Harris
Jones, published in The Tribune this
morning. In protest against the ratihca-
tiQn OF the Bronx County bin by the
voters OF this borough next Tuesday, is
not likely to have any effect upon the
vast majority OF intelligent Bronxites
who are determined to place this great
community OF 10000 persons in a posi-
ton where we can get what we are
entitled TO in the way OF recognition
from the city authorities, including rapid
transit facilities, police and fire protec-
ton. and educational opportunities for our
children-more than 5000 school children
are now on part time in The Bronx. II
is true. as Mr.. Jones says, that a reso-
luton opposing Bronx County was passed
by a vote OF 81 to 2 in the name of the
Highhridge Taxpayers Alliance Tuesday
night; but neither the president nor the
secretary OF that organization concurred
I'm tho vote, and only one-tenth of the
membership OF the alliance was present.
Mr. Jones recently sent out a large
number Of letters and much other litera-
ture protesting against the Bronx Coun-
ty measure in the name OF the North
Side Board OF Trade. OF which he is presi-
dent. But for doing this, without tho
authorization OF that body. he has In
Cured severe and deserved criticism from
many OF its members. Including DIN j.
Stephens. former president OF the North
Side Board OF Trade. who Is one OF the
largest coal merchants in New York City
and one Of the largest property owners
In The Bronx and an earnest advocate
Of Bronx County.
1t Is true. as Mr.. Jones says, that from
time to time the North Side Board of
Trade has gone on record as opposed to
the creating OF Bronx County. but under
peculiar circumstances. Tho North side
Board OF Trade has a membership "
about five hundred or more. but at ~
meeting when the last vote on the props-
sition was taken only about eighty nasaa-

THE sULzER EXHIBITION.

The Democracy's "little Jack Homer
keeps exclaiming, "What a great boy
am r. and doing nothing else. There
sis no man in this country whom the
GEAR hates worse than he hates me"
he told a Harlem audience on Satur-
day night This assertion deserves a
place beside his THAT was too much
"sEe ne. so l abrogated the treaty of
1882" his Il was THE Congressman"
his declaration that New York State
"never had the audacity to repeal
any law which he put upon the statute
book as Speaker Of the Assembly and
his everlasting point to the rise and
career Of William SulZer."
There are other and equally ludi-
crous exhibitions Of vanity in Mr.. Sui
GERS speeches. Every one OF them
that we have seen in full abounds in
the crudest and most childish egoism.
That more Of it has not appeared in
the press is due TO the subordinate
degree of attention which the state
campaign is receiving. Only brief
accounts Of Mr.. Suffers canvass have
appeared. and that has been blessing
to him. Had the state read his
speeches in full day after day it would
have found him the strangest candi-
date ever put up for the Governorshlp.

normal supporters. Every one daily
meets men who a fortnight ago eX-
pected to vote the straight Democratic
ticket, but who have been sickened by
his childish exhibition OF vanity on the
stump and intend to support some
other candidate.
The silence of his earlier newspaper
supporters Is significant. "The New
York World" has RETAINED from men
tioning his name on its editorial page
for a fortnight or more. THE New
York Times" has manifested an equal
degree of dissatisfaction with its
candidate. Self-respectlng newspapers
