THE PATRONAGE LEVER.

The Roosevelt shouters have been
trying to make much Of the PROPOSE
tion that President Taft has been
using the power of patronage, OF tine
spoils, TO get delegates for himself
to the Republican National conven-
tiou This ignores the strenuous use
Of tho spoiIs by President Roosevelt
himself while he was in office, and il
also does Injustice to President Taft
for the President has distinctly stated
that no Republican is going TO be dis

party standing and rights by reason OF
his attitude as between Roosevelt and
himself, He has recently rcappointcd
Collector Little at Salem. Massachu

not hold this against him, stating in

in the one to be held at Chicago.
This is in letter addressed to Rep
resentative Gardner, and it states the
position clearly and accurately. Presi-
dent Taft is no spoilsman; he never
was such, and he is not in the least
likely TO become one. On the other

The more important iron ore deposits

have said with regard to it, The main
thing so far as Utah is concerned, and
our chief desire in the matter, is TO
have the immense iron deposits become
better known, and TO hasten the day
when they will be utilized on large
scale, precisely as stated in so friendly
a manner by the Commercial. That
day is drawing nearer all the time, and

lv and emphatically a nomination by
the bosses. If there ever was such
thing in the history + this country.
We note that in a comparison between
President Taft and Col. Roosevelt, Mr..
William Allen White Of Kansas sizes
Roosevelt up as taking short cuts IN
his decisions and insisting aeon apply-
ing moral standing rather than rule
and precedent in reaching his eonclu-
sions. We do not know what sort of
rule of moral standing they have in
Kansas that would JUSTIFY this sort OF
cncomium npon Col. Roosevelt, for
Roosevelt whole course through the
present campaign has been false,
Ireachcrous. and distinctly lacking IN
moral quality. He has not only unjust
" and falsely assailed President Taft,
his former friend. but h" had doubled
upon himself shifted his positions, de
Med his former acts nd talks, aud, IN
fact, has played the unscrupulous
dcma gogue of larger scale than 1T
was ever played before in the United
States. To speak of him. therefore,
as applying moral standing appears
more like IRONY or sarcasm than sober

THE ROOSEVELT DENIALS.

Col. Roosevelt comes forward with
specific denials and evasions Of the
charges made by Representative Gard
ner Of Massachusetts. The Colonel de-
nies that the information he had with
respect to the LorImer case ought TO
have restrained him from coupling
President Taft s name with Lorimer in
his Illinois campaign. and be under
takes to give feeble justification for
his act in doing this by stating that the
Taft Senators are the ones who are
supporting Lorimer. That is. In spite
of his personal knowledge that Taft
had nothing to do with Lorimer, he ar
raIgned Taft as having an alliance with
Lorimer. because Senators who sup
port Taft are also supporting Lor-
inner, He does not in any way un-
dertake to show that Taft is acting
with those Senators in the Lorimer
case. and so Roosevelt puts himslcf at
decided disadvantage on this point.
Col. Roosevelt denies Mr.. Gardner s
charge that he suppressed report of
Herbert Knox Smith, Commissioner OF
Corporations, and also that there was
any suppressed paper of any kind about
the Harvester Trust. With regard to
the Harvester Trust, the charge Of Nj
Gardner was not that there was any
suppressed paper, but that Roosevelt,
while President, wrote to the Depart
mept of Justice suggesting or advising

vester Trust be not proceeded with On
this matter the Colonel quotes tele
grams from former Attorney General

meal. The Smith telegram ought to
be conclusive on the point, although we
not know as to what extent it iustifies
the Roosevelt denial, but perhaps it
was not officially "report that was
| suppressed. As 10 any denials by
| Roosevelt himself. Of course. they
would have to be taken with liberal
discount, because OF his crooked course
in this campaign.
One OF the most astonishing things
that Roosevelt has said is when. in
one of his recent speeches, he declared
that the bosses were against him when
he was nominated for Vice President.
| Tbs is surely an obsession of memory,
for the public recalls very distinctly
that Mr.. Roosevelt did not want TO be
nominated for Vice President, but
wanted TO be nominated 70 succeed

T1TANIc's UNPREPAREDNEsS.

The committee OF Senators inNesh'
eating the Titanic disaster appears to
be succeeding very well in getting in
sido facts, and these facts are of the
most surprising character.
First Of all. there was no attention
paid to repeated warnings of the ProX-
unity of iccbergs; second. the man IN
the crows nest had no night glasses
to watch for iccbcrgs, for other vessels,
or for anything else. 1t has always
been supposed that the outlook on al
most any kind Of ship is fully sup
| piled with the usual and ordinary ap
paratus for his work. Spy glasses and
| night glasses are ordinarily supposed to
| be part of the necessary equipment OF
tho watch in the crow S nest. 1t is
amazing TO find that an ordinary uten-
sill, absolutely necessary for a watch
10 the night, was not provided. Not
only were repeated warnings of the
proximity of icebergs disregarded, al
though the ice was known to be near,
but the Titanic proceeded without de-
crease of speed and precipitated dis
aster that might as we'll have been
avoided as not in fact, with ordinary
precaution or attention, it appears that
there was no danger Mt all.
Then. as TO the lifeboats. II would
no taken for granted unless the fact
were questioned, that each boat had its
particular crew and its particular Off
Ger. that when the alarm was sounded
TO take to the boats, every boat crew
and every commander of that crew
would know precisely where his boat
was and what TO do with it, The
launching would naturally follow, and
the crew of the boat would every one
know his place. Nothing Of this kind
seems to have been the case. Mem
bers of the crew were sent on one boat
or another, without regard to any pre-
vious assignment, and, in fact, there
were no boat crews provided, and no
commanders designated for the boats.
Those of the'crew that were best able
to get to the fro"t appear to have
been sent into ono boat or another
at random, without any regard TO
their fitness, and without any special
instruction in their duties Tho result
was that the boats, few as they were,
werc not properly filled and were not
properly manned. The grossest abuse
of passengers is reported, and the most
calous. scornful remarks were made by
the sailors with respect to the male
passengers left OH board the doomed
ship. so far as all tins is concerned,
there was no organization, no disci-
| plinc. no Encouragement whatever.
All this makes a very bad record
indeed, and while there may be some
| justification for the plea that it was
impracticable for the ship while in her
course over the ocean to stop TO have
| boat drills, il certainly is not imprac-
ticable for the ship to have her boat
crews designated and the boat drills
practieed while the ship is in barbor
One can hardly believe the unprepared
ness which all this testimony discloses.
And Vet it is impossible to disbelieve
it. because il is told as matter of
fact by persons who saw and know
what they are telling. 1t is, indeed, a
sad chapter of reckless indifference
and disregard of the most ordinary
precautions that one would suppose it
were impossible to find

visory or executive functions, but Is

tion when information on the subjects
within its scope is desired by Con-
gress or the President. The informa-
tion thus gathered is to be supplied
without recommendation, Just as the
information gathered by the Tariff
Board is supplied. The recommends
tons of Miss Lathrop may justly lead
the public to expect the best possible
results from the work which she is
TO have in charge.
