bituminous.

COMING PRIMARIES.

The next State to speak in a pri
mary election on the choice for Presi-
dency candidates will be California,
with 26 delegates This primary will
be on Tuesday next. An active cam
paign has been on in California for
some time, and the prize of the dele
cations from that State is being siren
uously contested for.
The primaries in Ohio will be next
Saturday. May 18th. A very active
and bitter campaign is being conducted
in that State. President Taft, warned
by the consequences of delay in Mas
sachusetts. took the initiative in Ohio
and forced the fighting. Ohio will have
~ delegates, and if President Taft car
ries these, as it is claimed that he will
do, that will absolutely shut Roosevelt

The Maryland primaries were the

THE ORGAN SQUIRMS.

The organ of the Federal bunch,
weakening in it's support of President
Taft, squirms on the exposure Of it's
double. dealing. 1t is now quito willing
to cater TO Roosevelt sentiment, al
though in tho past it has shamcfully
suppressed Roosevelt news and has
brought itself under the censure Of the
Roosevelt supporters in this State TO
such an extent that these Republicans
denouuce the Federal bunch and its
organ for their dishonesty, their sup.
preston OF the news, and their false
representations generally.
In order to divert attention from it's
own twistings, turnings, and untrust'
worthiness in this matter, the Smoot or
gan turns now and intimatcs that The
Tribune is supporting Roosevelt, 1nas-
much, however, as The Tribune s re.
sistanco TO the Roosevelt aggression
has been the only real and effective re-
sistance presented in this State, we can
afford to pass by the organ 3 transpar.
cnt folly in making this charge. The
Tribune's genuine opposition to Col.
Roosevelt for q third term for the
Presidency has been so openly, so firm
ly, and SO constantly stated, that there
can be no question or doubt on that
point.
But the organ bases its allegation
against The Tribune upon the fact
that The Tribune prints the Roose.
welt news. 1t is true that The Trib-
une prints the Roosevelt news, Just as
it prints all kinds Of news in which
the public has an interest. The Trib.
une gives the news, because it is q
newspaper The fact that the news
carries Roosevelt matter is not rea-
son why it should be suppressed5 The
Tribune does not suppress it, the Fed,
eral bunch organ does. And that is
the difference between a real news.
paper and a fake newspaper.
The Roosevelt supporters in this
State have noticed that The Tribune
gives the news impartially and fairly
they have also noticed that the Fed
eral bunch organ does not, and they
come out in open condemnation of II
accordingly. This they have per
feet right TO do; but the idea that be-
cause a paper prints news about Roose.

supporter, is one of those stupid con-
clusions that could not occur to any
but dishonest mind

1t is clear that this disaster will rev
olutiouize the equipment Of ships, and
especially Of the great liners. There

both Houses Of Congress a bill which
will undoubtedly cure this evil and

BONNOT,s EGoTISM.

The case of the automobile bandits
in Paris is an apt and forcible llustra-
tiou of the well-known fact that crime
grows upon its exploits when sensa.
tionalized, and that criminals will
eagerly 20 into crime IL they can get
notoriety by so doing. One of the
most notorious facts Of crminology is
that this uotoriety does, In fact, act
lively encourage crime and draw into
tho criminal vortex large numbers Of
persons who otherwise might never
have thought of criminal career
The leader of the Paris bandits was
one Bonnot. This notorious brigand
was proud Of the notoriety which he
had achieved, and made his will SO
as to be prepared for anything that
might come. In that will he gave vent
to his vanity in the following words:
"I am celebrated man. Fame trum.
pets my name to the four corners OF
the globe, and tho publicity given by
the press to my humble person must
render jealous all those who take sc
much trouble TO get talked about.
1t is plain from these expressions that
Bonuot was in crime in order to be
notorious, and that he fed his vanity by
the audacity Of the crimes which he
committed, and tho sensational ac
counts Of them.
And now the report from Paris is

THE sENATE's TITANIC INQUIRY

The Senate Committee on the inquiry
into the Titanic disaster. Of which Sen
ator William Alden Smith Of Michigan
is chairman, has rendered great service
TO the world, and especially TO the
ocean going world. 1t has developed,
first of all, that the Titanic proceeded
on her course at practically full speed
after having repeated warnings that
dangerous fields of ice were ahead of
her. No attention was paid TO this
warning. II has also developed that
the lookouts on the Titanic were not
provided with night glasses, which
would have enabled them to see the ice
and give notice so that the danger
could have been avoided if these glasses
had been provided 1t developed fur
ther. that the Titanic was insuficiently
provided with lifeboats or live.saving
appliances of real service. the result
being that only about oue-third of the
lives on board could be saved. even
though the sea was calm aud there was
ample time to have launched boats
enough TO save all.
1t is quite true that good MANY ir-
relevant and repetitvc questions were
asked, but il is also true that the wit
uesscs as a rule, gave straightforward
testimony and helped In every way
that they could to the development of
the main facts in the case; and while
number of ridiculous questions were
asked, the truth is that Senator Smith
got at the main facts in the case with
directness and in excellent style. The
criticism that he is not an expert navi-
gator has little relcvauce TO the case;
and certainly those who stickle for ex-
pert navigation and expert opinion in
. matter of this kind. will hardly be
able to say much for those in control
of the Titanic at the time that she was
driven to her destruction II is evi.
dent. moreover that the Board of
Trade Investigation in Great Britain,
over which Lord Merscy is presiding,
Is sure 60 look upon the main facts de
veloDed by the Senate inquiry as the
eist of the whole matter. Lord Mer-
sew. when the inquiry before him led
TO the point that the Titanic officers
were warned Of fields Of ice in their
course, asked, Gam 7 right in suppos

this warning, will undoubtcdly be the

ITS IMPUDENT FAKERIEs.

Inc Smoot organ must enjoy its Ill
fame for fakery, since it seems anxious
to exploit the same. and to keen the
public In mind Of the fact that it is
under a heavy cloud Of opprobrium for
ITS falsities and dishonesties.
1t recently made a false and sensa.
tlonal assertion about two knives being
found IN the penitentiary cells in con.
ncctlon with its fake stories on the
Morris execution, and now it makes a
bluff about a $500 forfeit, calling on
The Tribune. Warden Pratt. and the
Descrct News to prove that it is lying.
But if the Smoot organ really thinks
that 1T has any foundation for its
knife story. let it prove its case, not
call on others to prove negatiou. Ii
made statement afirmativcly on this
matter. This statement was bv the
Warden and other prison officials dc
nounccd as untrue, Now it is UP to the
organ TO establish the truth of what il
claims, If it can. There is not par
tlcle of sense in its wall that others
should prove that it is lying: the fact
that 1t is lying is evident on the face
of it.
But why 90 back TO matter that
has gone by? Why not take the most
recent case of its fakery! When the
murder Of Mr. Harvey by a Mexican
bandit was reported, the Smoot organ
faxed lot Of stuff about what the
church officials were doing, wnat they
had ordered. about their appeal 10
Smoot. about their order To Apostle
WINS TO go down TO Mexico and
| straightcn things out, and all that sort
Of sensational stuff. The church an
thorities denied the whole matter, stat
ing that there MAS no truth in the
statement at all They had not met
and had not taken the action Indicated.
or. in fact, any action AT all. Apostle
Ivins had not been sent 10 Mexico. and
has no present intention OF going
there. nor could Inc do any good by 20
ing. Now, here is case that involves
matters OF fact, easily and quickly as
certainod. We arc quite willing 70
submit the facts Of that fakery to the
church authorities themselves, and 10
let them say whether the Smoot organ
told the truth about their ease. The
question is very narrow, straishtfor-
ward one. Did the Smoot organ lie in
its statement az 10 what the church au
thorities had done or not, The church
authorities have already Indicated thai

THE BRUTAL CAMPAIGN.

It is shocking thing. politically con
sidcrcd. to see such campaign as VIC
are having this year. The Republican
party is broken in two, aud tho bitter
ness between the two factions rs, IN
fact, greater than tho bitterness be-
tween either faction and the common
foe. the Democratic party. The vim
lictive, personal warfare that has been
forced by Col. Roosevelt is certainly
ore of the most damaging party pro-
cesses that ever was introduced in this
country,
The unrestraincd ferocity and brutal
ity of Roosevelt IS attack upon Presi-
dent Taft was shocking TO the Amer
lean sense of decency. The Spring
field (Mass.) Republican. commenting
upon this. shows that Roosevelt had
dcluded himself into the idea that
President Taft would not turn upon
him; and as this conviction grew IN
Roosevelt IS mind. the savagery of the
attacks upon President Taft by the
Colonel and his campaigncrs grew IN
vindictivencss and ferocity. The coun'
try was being disgusted with the IL
rades of abuse and indignity that were
being heaped upon President Taft
"Thc distortion Of truth surpassed the
record of regular political campaigns
when Republicans and Democrats fire
at each otherp
But the assault was made by an c1
President seeking third term, upon
his former friend. the President Of the
United States. The question was, what
should be done7 President Taft con-
suited his political friends and his
Cabinet about the best course to pur-
sue. He bore himself throughout with
dignity and patience, but the attacks
grew beyond all measure Of decency;
and. as President Taft explained, his
back was to the wall, aud if there were
any manhood left in him, he was
obliged to fight. He therefore drew
up plain statements of fact and entered
into the Massachusetts campaign with
a vigor that both surprised and discon
ccrted Roosevelt and his friends. In

the dignity of his office and
has made an aggressive fight upon
Roosevelt only when it was necessary
to do so in order to defend himself the
more completely.
1t is quite true that the American
people, as Il rule, do not like this sort
of warfare, and especially they DO
not like TO see party disrupted in this
way by the bitter contentious between
It's President. aud its eX-President. But
t is necessary TO remember where the
responsibility for this lies. "Decency
md fairness have been outraged in a
way living men have not beheld in our
politics until now" by Col Roosevelt
But although il is disheartening
event from every point of view,
whether of party or of country. the
public cannot fail TO remember all the
time where the responsibility for ii
all rests. Nor can the public fail to
.ecal that President Taft fought only
n self-dcfense, and when he was alb.
,olutelv compelled TO fight.
