defeat of the local option bill in the
recent Maryland legislature. Mr.. An
derson charges that the Mayor was
selected to his present position with the
aid of the liquor and vice element and
repaid them by organizing the leglsla-
ture against temperance legislation.
He has twice challenged the Mavor to
public discussion of his responsibility in
the premises. Some Of these letters
were written several weeks ago. He
claims already to have replies from some
of the candidates for President, and
says further that he is giving this notice

WHO OWNS THE REPUBLICAN,
PARTY?

Out in Chicago in a little room in the
great Coliseum Building, a group of half
e hundred men are sitting several hours
each day, empowered to exercise a
trusteeship for the political interests Of
about fifty million people They con-
stitute the National Committee Of the
Republican party just 50 of them in
all.
They confront a task more significant,
more momentous, than has ever been
delegated before to a National Com
mittee. They must decide, so tar as it
IS within the power rePosed in them
and it is a tremendous delegation Of
authority that they possess who shall
occupy seats in the National Republican
Convention few days hence Their
decision may deUermine-is expected by
the now dominant faction in the party
to determine who Shall be nominated
Cor President.
IN this group Of 50 men vested with
this authority, laden with this response
5iity, are 16 men who have within the
iast two or three months been rejected
by the Republican voters of their States;
men who will not succeed themselves as
committeeman; men who have submit
Cd their stewardship to the people and
been discharged.
These 16 men make up the backbone
Of President Taft's strength in the com
mittee. Without them he would have
about one-third of its members.
Three weeks hence not one Of these
men Will have On official relationship to
the national organization Of the party.
They will have retired and new men
viii have succeeded them; men who
will better represent the present tenn
per and purpose of the people.
But meanwhile these men who are
soon to retire possess The power to de-
rermine the membership Of the National
Convention. They are using that power
10 make Mr.. Taft the nominee.
MIR. Taft cannot be elected. Every
body knows that. The men who are
betraying their party by the desperate
effort to nominate him admit their be-
trayal, but say chat they would rather
have the party defeated with Taft lead
ing it than to win with Roosevelt.
The Republican party does not belong
to any 80 or 40 men, even though they
chance to be for few days at a fateful
time the members Of its National Com
miLtee. If, in such a juncture, il
permits such betrayal it will deserve
the fate that lmpends.

FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO SEE A
JOB THOROUGHLY DONE.

The Taft steam roller seems to be do
ing its work pretty thoroughly at Chi
cago. Anyone who likes to see a JOB
we'll done should be tickled to death
with the work of this particular piece
Of machinery.
1t seems to be doing its work so well
and so effectively and so thoroughly
that not only is it crushing under its
weight all opposition, but also seems to
bent on crushing and obliterating the
Republican party as well.
We all recall how the steam roller
worked during the French Revolution.
1t was a fine thing for those in control
ofGthe Terror to steam roller thousands
of victims to the guillotine 1t was
not quite so funny when the roller
caught under the weight of those same
leaders and steam-rollered them to the
guillotine also.
Anarchy, after devouring everything
in sight, in the end devour5 itself. If
We do not greatly mistake the Taft
steam roller, after crushing. every thing
else in sight, viii in all probability pro-
coed to crush itself. Nor do we think,
if the present methods. are persisted in,
that the Republican party will be an I'M
considerable tine a-dying.

Brilliant Emerald hues Tint the Sky at
Morn and Eve.
In Egypt, where the atmosphere is
very clear, the green tints of the sunset
light are peculiarly distinct. AS the
sun descends nearer and nearer to the
horizon and is immensely enlarged its
rays suddenly become for an instant Of
q brilliant green. Then succession of
green rays suffuses the sky well nigh
to the zenith.
The same phenomenon occurs at sun
rise, but less conspicuously. Some
times at sunset, just as the last portion
Of the suns disk vanishes. it's color
changes from green to blue, and so also
after it has disappeared the sky near
the horizon is green, while toward the
zenith it is blue

the ancient Egyptians, and references
thereto are found in their sacred writ
