Such a house broke!
The Industrial Commission

It is hoped that the industrial com mission to which Congress will likely lend aid in every way possible, and which proposes to look into labor con- ditions in this country and abroad with the view of bringing capital and labor into closer and more harmonious relationship, will succeed in bringing about better understanding between the big industries of America and their employees.
 Strikes have been too numerous in the United States, and they go a great way toward arousing an an- tagonism between the employer and the employe that should not exist. They entail hardships to both that might well be avoided, and cause suf- fering indirectly to thousands of peo- pie who can have no voice in the set clement of the questions at issue.
 A study of conditions and causes that bring them about by men compe- tent to diagnose the trouble and sug- gest remedy that will be fair and equitable would save the people mil lions annually that are otherwise wasted and at the same time create more cordial relations between the captains of industry and the men who toll to the lasting benefit of both.
 The industrial commission was ere ated by the Industrial Congress at Nashville year or so ago, majori- ty of the states in the Union being represented. It is the purpose of the commission to make careful and scientific study of industrial condi- tions, not only in this country but in Europe as well, and to offer such suggestions as they may determine upon to promote closer ties between capital and labor
 Congress has already approved the plan, and it is understood that it will give financial aid should it be re- quired.

Disl0yal Committeeman

The regular republicans are having . hard time of it. Everything seems to have gone wrong with "the grand old party" ever since the steam roller nominated President Taft for re-elec- ton.
 Colonel Roosevelt bolted and he car ried large and influential following with him. Trouble over electors in certain states then followed, and now comes the embarra ssment of having to oust Roosevelt men from the na- tional republican committee. The com mittee met in New York Wednesday and accepted the resignation of three of its members and declared vacant the seats held by members from West Virginia, North Carolina and New Jersey, who are said to be Roosevelt partisans. William S. Edwards of West Virginia issued statement from Charleston, ". Va., refusing to recognize the authority of mine mem bers of the national committee in a star chamber session. to undo the will of the people expressed through mag isterial district conventions. Many sincere men who had been active in the republican party for years past are now following Roosevelt, the founder and standard bearer of a new party. But looking at it from any party viewpoint every Roosevelt man should have felt in honor bound to re- tire from the national republican com mittee. Those Roosevelt men who have remained on the committee up to this time must have felt ill at ease. No bolter should take advantage of his national committee membership to embarrass Chairman Hilles. But some of the "disloyap committeeman look at the situation in a different light, and it is evident that they intend to balk the republican nominee in every way possible.

'The Guinea Pig Power" the Colonel Makes the Basis for Determining Brain, Activity and Strength.
FITZGERALD'S SPEECH
 WROUGHT HIM UP
He Resents the Implication That He Intended tc Make the White House His Permanent Earthly Abode.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

GETTYSBURG. May $0.-Only men with the brains of three guinea pig power according to Roosevelt can take serious heed of Congressman Fitzgeralds speech yesterday about the colonel Fitzgerald read what purported to be d memorandum of President Roosevelt relating to al- terations in the White House ito be permanent during my life time
 "Fitzgerald's accusation or implied accusation is too preposterous to need any serious discussion" said Roose- welt here today. Just as machinery can be expressed in terms of horse power, so some intcIlects can be eX- plained only in terms Of guineapig power. That kind of an accusation can only be needed by men with brains of about three guinea-pig power"
 At an engineers luncheon RoOse- welt said among other things. that railroad men seem peculiarly to un- derstand there must be good returns on investments and good returns make good remuneration for the men who actually run the road engineers. firemen and others. In all lines of work these three clements have to bC considered.
 Any abuse of any of the three ele- ments brings punishment on itself and any championship of inferior workmanship by wage earners hurts themselves. On the other hand the capitalist who issued watered stock and who when detected. seeks to shield himself saying that his op- ponent is attacking capital. really stands in the position of a man who issues counterfeit money, These prin- ciples are so obvious that in the ab- stract, hardly any men can deny them In short there must be a gen une effort to work along the lines of the very old familiar doctrine of the square deal"
