MR.. TAFTS OHIO METHODS.

The President orders his lieutenants in Ohio to
push the fight for control OF the Ohio State con-
vention involving six delegates-at-large to the Re-
publican national convention, to the limit, because
the principles we represent are too important to
the country to lose anything by our voluntary con-
cession.''
Unfortunately, through a defect in the Ohio
primary law, delegates to the State convention were
not chosen at the same time or in the same manner
as we're delegates to the national convention. Had
they been there is no question that the voters
who repudiaed Taft in seventeen out Of twenty
one Congressional districts by electng Roosevelt
national delegates, would have completed the job
by electing Roosevelt men to the State convention
The delegates to the State convention have been
selected by the old-fashioned county convention and
caucus system and it is evident from Tafts orders
to 60 ahead with the fight in the State convention
what has happened-or what he thinks has hap
pened. 1t is apparent to him that what he could
not obtain by an appeal to the people, he has OBJ
tanned by lefthanded conventions and the abuse of
Federal patronage.
THE principles we represent are easily under
stood when we read in Ohio dispatches to this
mornings papers:
President Taft's demand that his supporters
in Ohio fight to the last ditch in the Republican
State convention has thrown into panic the
postmasters and other politicians who have OBJ
tanned their places under his Administration.
The spectacle of Republican convention in a
State which has elected only eight Taft delegates
out of forytwo, reversing the decision of the people
through the Vaccinations of few bosses and ere
dentials committee would be the last word in the
story Of Tafts complete domination by and sympath,
with the bosses, and would clinch the proof that hi:
delegate strength at Chicago will msrepresent the
masses of the Republican party instead of represen
them.
the object lesson would not be lost and perhaps i
would be just as we'll to give the Taft manager
just that much more rope. 1t would surely Prov
sufficient.

NEW YORK. May s1.-The striking
walters struck their strongest blow last
evening.
BY tbs p. M, the walters and cooks
in nine hotels, restaurants and clubs

Not more than fifteen minutes elapsed
between the exit of the first group of
culinary attaches and the march out of
the eleventh. In no case was there any
disorder.

rocr1s were but sparsely occupied, and
the diners for the most part transient

situation as I novel experience. The

Previous developments in the strike
served as a warning to some of the pro.

the places vacated by the strikers.
The situation has become much more
serious during the last twenty -fou

Los ANGELES. Cal, May 3l.-That

direct examination of Bert Franklin, in

and occasionally Ill tempered, while
Ford was interrogating him Wednesday

MR.. NEWS PROPERTIES.

Harry S. New, Republican national committee
man from Indiana, and chairman of the committee
on arrangements for the approaching Chicago con-
vention, is stickler for the square deal to that
degree that he refuses the request of Colonel Roose
velts manager for admission tickets to the Chicago
convention upon the ground that neither the manager
nor Colonel Roosevelt have contributed to defraying
the convention expenses.
Now will Mr.. New, whose seat as delegate at
large from Indiana is being contested, observe the
same rigid regard for propriety and exactness and
refuse as a member of the national committee to
vote upon his own contest?

ANOTHER MASTERPIECE ACQUIRED.

The transfer of European works of art to this
country continues to excite degree of alarm which
is beginning to amount to CONSERVATION in the Old
World capitals. One of the latest acquisitions is that
gorgeous study in yellow, "Saome" painted by Henri
Regnault when he was twenty-seven years of age.
France has special affection for all the works Of
Regnaut by reason of their excellence, in the first
place, but more particularly because of his tragic
death in the siege of Paris during the Franco
Prussian war. He the victim of almost the last
shot fired, and was cut down in the very flower of
his young manhood. Those who recall the vivid
description by Gautier of his lfe his work, and his
tragic fate will be able to understand the esteem in
which he was held by Frenchmen and the desperate
efforts which made to prevent one of his
masterpieces from going abroad.
This country will not be lacking in appreciation
however, and the canvas which has just beer
acquired will be an object of veneraon. Just where
il is to be placed has not yet been made public but
the wisdom of establishing national museum o
art here in Washington, which is suggested from time
10 time, acquires new interest and Importance il
this connection.

THE ENGLISH LABOR SITUATION.

The refusal of the executive committee of the
Sailors and Firemens Union of Great Britain to
Join in national strike in order to bring that country
to its knees again and grant the demands of the
dock workers. whether no, silver lining to the
industrial cloud that has hung over Great Britain
for years.
To avoid just such national prostrations of busi-
ness and the actual visitation of starvation and dis
ease the English government has given the aborers
of that country a great amount Of advanced legsla
tion including minimum wage law, workmen's
insurance. compensation for accidents and disability
and old age pensions, and has compelled the recog-
milton of unions by employers.
None of the legislation amsS, but having
obtained it, it is now up to labor to abide by its
agreements and give the nation rest from the ruin
Gus agitation that has marked the past year. During
the period of recovery 1t can be ascertained if the
relief afforded was adequate and, if not still more
relief can be obtained through the government, and
by peaceful methods
The program of a few leaders in Great Britain
whose avowed purpose is not to secure industrial
peace and progress, but to inaugurate perpetual
industrial war and attacks upon society, contains
nothing good for the man in the ranks. Even the
Socialist national convention in this country, just
adjourned went on record against crime, sabotage
or other methods of violence as weapons of the
working classes"
If reform is obtained by dint of argument and
virtue of justice it is poor way to maintain il tc
wage war of avowed vindctiveness upon those
granting it.
The history of industrial evolution and the advice
of labor leaders who have really accomplished thing:
for industrial toers sustain the contention that arbi
raton is better for the ultimate welfare of the labor
ing classes than syndicaism, and an appeal to the
sense of human justice gets more than the conducting
of war against all society. The action of thu

ARGUMENTS AGAINST PRIMARIES

do not attend them. They resolve themselves into
a campaign of agitation, and the candidate who
presents the most plausible argument, stirs up the
most voters, and perects the best organization wins
Therefore, the primary system is to be condemned
So runs the argument of those who do not like
the opportunity afforded the people by primary to
register their will in the selection of party leaders

WOMEN AND BUSINESS.

That was wise judge in Chicago who handed
down the decision that woman is not luxury, but
6 necessity. Leaving out the sentimental part of the
equation-her place as sweetheart, wife and
mother-which has been played in all the keys,
woman is necessity to the commercial world. All
business is keyed to her. She is the only and simon
pure Ultimate Consumer.
Retail dealers write their ads to interest her,
trim their windows to challenge her attention, pro-
vide accommodations for her convenience, and in
vented the Bargain Day" to appeal to her ever
present sense of thrift.
Indeed the ads themselves tell the story. Even
the ads which are intended for men are graced with
a wornan's face or figure, appeal to mans recog-
nition of the judges decision that woman is neces,
sty.
