Probably the figures from The Yer
mont election will be so suggied and
construed by the adherents OF the
three major parties that each will
find some comfort i in the results.
Should the Republican vote in other
states in the November polling spIi,
60 to 40 per cent as it appears to have
done in Vermont, the chief gamer
would be the Democratic party, while
there would be nothing but a trailing
role for the moose to play. The taft
Republicans may point to the Vermont
result as evidence that there is little
or no prospect of success for the
moose candidate, and that the voters
must take their choice between VIII
son and the Republican nominee.

Political yeracity.

In the second place regard a
vote for Mr.. Taft as a vote in the
interest of political yeracity. Apart
from questions connected with Ger
tain cabinet appointments, the sum
of Mr.. Tafts offending was his ac-
ton on the Payne ldrich tariff bill.
That was the ground OF progressive
insurgency. The sincerity of Mr..
Roosevelt in capitalizing insurgency
based on this isgue may be judged
by considering his own attitude to-
ward the tariff, both when president
and now as a candidate. Insurgency
on this issue was utilized by him as
borrowed capital The primary cam
paign then inaugurated was run large
ly on borrowed capital. What original
contribution to the progressive pro-
gram has been made By him except
that OF the recall OF Judicial decisions +:
Each item of the program has been
taken up in turn, calculated and utii-
lied according TO its exact political
value. Everywhere the politician has
been in evidence rather than the re-
former: no where more conspicuous
" than in the adoption and utilization
Of woman suffrage.
In Ike manner it is very hard to
reckon the violent inconsistencies OF
Mr. Roosevelt simply as inconsistent
cies; hard, for example, TO reconcile
on this ground his trades against
bosses with his special instructions to
the boss o. Pennsylvania to take an
active part in the preliminaries to the
republican convention; hard to recon
Gle his denunciations of the political
use OF money by the trusts with his
silence when questioned repeatedly by
Mr.. la Toilette regarding the finan-
cial support Of his campaign. The
whole atmosphere OF the primary
campaign vas charged With exagger-
alton and Misrepresentation, misrep-
which could be met only
by specific corrections Of the pregi-
dent IN pernon. The constant appeals

| DR.. William ]. Tucker, former pres
ident of Dartmouth college, writing
in the Congregationalist and Christian
World, analyses the perplexities con
! fronting Intelligent and responsible
voters ad submits these reasons why
he will vote for Mr.. Taft:
will state, in general terms as far
as possible, the reasons which to my
mind justify my intention to vote for
Mr.. Taft The statement of these
reasons will call up incidents and
events which, though recent, are in
danger of being forgotten. These
ought to be kept steadily in mind to
give the true perspective through
which TO view the political situation.
We cannot afford. in the interest of
truth, 70 allow the course OF events
leading up to present conditions to
become covered over with the dust OF
the campaign. These events are an
essential part of the campaign.
Independence of the Presidency.
In the first place regard vote
for Mr.. Taft as vote to maintain the
independence of the presidential of
flee. The attack of Mr.. Roosevelt up
on Mr.. TAFT, especially the manner OF
it, was public dishonoring of a
close personal friendship. Fer any
thing that appeared then, or for any
thing that has appeared since, it was
an unworthy act II wac srow edIy an
act contrary TO Mr.. Rooseyelt's first
honorable impulses, and TO many Of
his friends gave evidence which could
not be ignored that he was beginning
10 part company with his better self.
To his enemies it vas simply CON
frmation Of their charges in regard
to his ruinous friendships.
But the act had much deeper sig
niticance. 1t was virtually the i'm
parchment OF the president by his
predecessor in office, now assuming
the role OF dictator under the guise
OF tribune of the people. The SEN
constituted tribune OF the people, is
the new type OF the political boss.
We have had party bosses who were
credited With having been the MAX
ers and unnakers OF presidents. The
new kind OF political boss deals with
forces far more subtle and effective
than those which have been within
reach OF the party boss; namely. pop
ular preiudices. excitement and dis
contents, and those economic gener-
alities which can be so easily made
to serve political ends. The strong
man armed with these resources can
at any time constitute himself a tri
bune of the people. His special OPP
portunity is at the time when the re-
nomination OF president according
to the accepted custom is pending.

JAN. ITO SEE RUSH
FOR ASSEMBLY JOBS.
Total Number of Minor Offices Exceeds
that of Representatives and
Senators.

Senator'S.
With the opening of the Forty-sev-
enth General Assembly early in Janu-
airy, says the Republic, wild scram-
bic will begin for the many small
jobs and clerkships incident thereto.
At each session there is rivalry
over the dispensing of these places,
which are considered desirable be-
although the pay is small, the work
usually is light and opportunities are
given to pay the expenses of staying
in jefferson City during the session.
The pay of the members OF the
Senate and House is SIS per diem and
mileage to and from their homes. As
this pay continues only during the
seventy days in which the Assembly
is in session few members seek those
political honors from a pecuniary
standpoint, but rather because of
the prestige.
Each member of the Assembly is
allowed to employ one clerk at $3.50
per diem. Sometimes members
name members of their own families
to serve in this capacity and some
times even draw their clerk pay,
allowing their clerk to remain at
home.
A fixed number of extra stenogra-
piers, pages and clerks of various
capacities is allowed, and when all
are named they considerably out
number the members of the Legisia-
ture.
Aside from the selection of the
Speaker and Speaker pro tenn of the
House and the President pro TEN
and caucus chairman OF the Senate,
who must be selected from among
the membership of the respective
bodies, there always is spirited con-
test for preference in the appoint
ments of chaplain iii each house,
chief clerks, folders, door-keepers,
sergeants-at-arms and other clerical
positions.
Until the chaplains are chosen
there usually are as many ministers
seeking appointment as there are APP
plicants for other places. There were
nearly fifty applicants for chaplain
two years ago, and fully as many are
expected this year.

Bates County Girl HonOred

| An important step on the ladder Of
musical fame was taken Friday by
Miss Helen Smith, pupil of the Kan
sas City Conservatory of Music, who
signed a contract with the Redpath
Lyceum bureau for seasons work,
beginning next June. Miss Smith
has advanced rapidly in musical cir
cles of this city since taking up her
studies with Ottley Cranstan of the
Conservatory vocal department two
years ago and is local product. Pos
sessing soprano of notable strength
and purity and charming personal
ity she has been valuable member
OF the Conservatory opera society
and during its two searons of grand
opera has attracted attention in the
role of Seibel in "Faust."
Miss Smiths home is in Adrian,
Mo. While studying here she has
been soloist for the Hyde Park M.
E. Church, lately leaving that posi-
ton for similar one at the Central
Presbyterian. She has also done
concert work both in the city and
out.
The venture in which Miss Smith
will take part with the Rednath neO-
pie is a new one and is unique among
Chautauqua affairs. She will be the
leading soprano with sextette in an
operetta of four acts which now is
being written. 1t is possible that
Miss Smith will be put on
solo work on tour. She has the dis
tinction of being the immediate choice
made from 100 voices tried. Kansas

In MemOriam

LO, these many moons Bates coun
ty has been entertaining a poet mn
awares, in the person of Mel Camp
bell, proprietor Of Nyharts general
mercantile emporium, and although
the versatile Mel has periodically
burst into song, usually when inspired
by dining well, he has kept secret his
talents and hidden his lights under a
bushel (of onions probably.) How
ever, his latest postprandial effusion,
written while absorbed in the con-
temptation of the delights of roasted
duck, by a fortunate mischance fell
into the hands of ye pencil pusher,
who being no respecter of persons,
hastens to expose to the public glare
Mr.. Campbell's fame, Or shame, as
the case may be- Here it is:
Here lies the body of Mallard drake,
A bird of plumage fine,
Who persisted in his early youth
AS warning to his kind.
He might have lived to ripe old age,
High up in the air to soar,
But he flew too close to Campbell's
gun;
His flying days are DER.
No more he'll fan the airy deep
On pinions true and strong,
No more his keen eye vigil keep
Alright 'er the feathered throng;
No more he'll fly from south to north,
Or travel from coast to coast;
tie has gone the way of all the earth,
For LIFE ENDS IN A ROAST.

WILKES-BARRE, PA, Sept. H.
When it comes to making baseball hiss
tory, Derby Day" Clymer, pilot of the
Wilkes Barre club in the New York
State league, comes mighty close to
being in class by himself
While in the American Association,
Derby Day" made it a habit to win
pennants and when he tired of the
company there and the task became
irI1some, he folded his tent ane NOV
ed on to Wilkes Barre. where he sunk
some of his shelzels in stock of the
Coal Baron club.
During the first year as magnate
in the New York State league, NAL
achi Fittredge led his club and the
famous old catcher romped home with
a pennant. The next year found
Derby Day" in charge of the Coal
Barons and he bagged the pennant af-
ter a fine struggle. Last year he re-
peated and had the pennant wen long
before the close of the season was In

Conditions We're somewhat different
this year. While he got together a
likely looking club, accidents shot it
to pieces and when he should have
been fighting for place with the lead
ers. Derby Day was in last place.
hugging the cellar so tightly that it
seemed he was doomed to stay for the
balance of the year.
Under most discouraging conditions
Derby Day" set out to make some
baseball history and he has done it
in such way that the fans Of Baron
vile will not forget him for years to
come. With few changes in the
club which occupied the cellar ne set
out on a winning streak which was not
broken until twenty five straight VIC
tories were chalked up to his credit,
which to say the least was going some.
From the cellar he moved step by step
until he had reached the top, six
weeks time being necessary to make
his tailenders leaders of the lea que.
The twenty-five consecutive victor
ie5 of Clymer's club goes down in the
baseball guides as one of the note
worthy achievements of baseball his
tory. Only one other minor league
club has surpassed the feat, while no
team in the majors comes very close
TO the record.

HAS JOE WOODS STRING
OF VICTORIES BEEN BROKEN
BY Associated Press.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE question as
to whether a pitcher can be batted off
the slab and still be credited with a
victory came yesterday after the game
between the Boston Americans and
the Chicago White Sox. incidentally
there was much argument as to
whether Pitcher Joe Wood should
have been credited with his fifteenth
victory. He was officially declared the
winning pitcher but there were many
who argued that his string of victories
had been broken and that Pitcher Hall
should have been credited with the
victory.
Under the system worked out by
John Heydler and Robert MERCY, when
the latter was secretary of the Amer
lean league, no pitcher was given
credit for a victory if he was batted
ont of the box. President Johnson
did not follow that system in a recent
ruling involving Pitcher Walter John
son. The president of the league could
not be found and no ruling from him
could be had regarding Pitcher Wood.

CHICAGO GRAIN
AND PROVISIONS:

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Favorable weather
conditions in the spring crop country
had a bearish effect today on wheat.
Cash sales also were reported the small

same as last night to 1-4d3-sc lower.
December started at 80 IL to 90 7-sc. A
fall to 80 3-Sc followed.
Lessening danger from frost made
corn prices weak. December opened

December oats started at 80 14d3-sc

then descended to 30 1-sc.
Notwithstanding lightness Of demand,
provisions developed a firm tone, the re-
suit of hog strength. First sales varied
