Roosevelt and His New Party.

A new party from the ground up is
the Roosevelt program. After a Sc
ries of discussions with his licutenants
in Chicago, in which there were sew
eral sharp clashes, Col. Roosevelt de-
cided to cut entirely away from the
party with which his whole public
career has been identified. He said
that when he returned to Oyster Bay
ne would communicate with a number
of Democrats who, he thought, might
wish to join the party.
The Republican nomination for
President, Col. Roosevelt asserted
last night, was his for the asking on
the day President Taft was rcnomi-
mated. Hc declined to accept it, he
said. on the terms under which the Of
fer was made.
On his way back to Oyster Bay the
former president gave glimpse into
the history of the last day Of the con-
vention, when 1t was apparent that
the tide of battle had turned resistless'
ly against him. 1t was plan to seize
control of the convention at the last
moment by certain move, overturn
the Taft majority, and make Roose-
Welt the nominee. This is the story
as he told it:
Early Sunday morning group OF
delegates from Southern States ar
ranged private interview with Col.
Roosevelt. They told him they had
come to offer him the nomination.
They had with them list of the
known Roosevelt delegates and stated
that they were authorized to speak for
a block of Taft delegates who were
wiling to swing over to Roosevelt to
avert rupture in the party. The num-
Der of these delegates, they assured
Col. Roosevelt was large enough to
nominate him or any other candidate
he might name.
One provision was made, Roosevelt
continued. It was that he must ac-
cent che nomination from the conven-
ton as then composed, and not insist
upon the removal Of the 78 delegates
whom he contended were fraudulent
before he would recognize any act OF
the convention.

ess any. courage or force of character
those VINO realize that they are vest
ed with responsibilities which they
should exercise in accordance with
the dictates of their conscience, not
Mr.. Bryan's to assert their indepen-
dence and exercise their own Judge
ment.
Mr.. Bryan is great man., but he is
not the repository of all wisdom and
all virtue. He naturally exercises
great influence in the councils of his
party, in spite Of the fact that he has
three times lead to disastrous defeat;
but a wise, judicious, conciliating
councillor is one thing while an arbi-
trary, intolerant, autocratic dictator
is quite another.
But whatever may be Mr.. Bryan's
purposes or intentions in this matter,
it is the imperative duty of the party
leaders not to permit the party to be
wrecked in obedience to his whims,
or even his convictions. If necessary,
they must inquire of some other oracle
than Mr.. Bryan conscience, and must
rely upon something else than the
infallibility Of Mr.. Bryan's Judgment.
The convention to assemble is to be
4 convention of Democrats, not a hos
tile array of "progrcssives" OF "radi-
Gals" on the one side and "conserva-
tivcs" or "reactionarics" on the other.
One of these last has just well-nigh
wrecked the Republican party. IS it
the purpose Of Mr.. Bryan to emulate
the example of Mr.. Roosevelt?
Any one who seeks to bring about
such a division or fails to do all in his
power to prevent it, will prove him
self an enemy to his party and un-
worthy to participate in its councils
or share in its honors.

NEW ICE CREAM LAW.

The state authorities arc now en-
rared in the enforcement Of the new
ice cream law. No attempt has as yet
been made by the State Dairy and
Food Department to analyze ice cream
nor to draw samples, prcfcrring to
wait until the manufacturers ano
dealers have accustomed themselves
TO the provisions Of the statute and
have made such changes as are ne
ccssary.
But the trouble comes in the effort
to make the public understand
Everybody who sells ice cream, and
everybody who serves it-including
keepers of hotels, restaurants, board
ing houses and lunch counters-muSt
if it contains condensed milk, skim
med milk or skinned milk powders,
display a sign, conspicuously placed
announcing the fact. There are also
provisions on the law as to the per-
ccntagc of milk fat, use Of gelatlnt
and sucroSe.
Dealers in this city have been pro-
vided with copies of the requirmnts
Much of the ice cream sold in AleXan

COMPEL PEACE AT BALTIMORE

1t is much to be hoped that even yet
the Bryan people will think better OF
the expressed purpose to fight Judge
Parker's selection as temporary chair
man of the Baltimore convention. we
can perceive not only no justification,
but no possible excuse for making an
issue in the matter and preclpltatlng
bitter fight.
1t is the peculiar function of the ma
tional committee to select the temper
airy chairman, and in the absence OF
some real and eXigent reason for re-
yersing the committees action, this
should not be done.
Probably no one cared particularly
about Parker's selection. Almost any
eminent or distinguished party man
would have been equally acceptable to
the rank and file of the party; but
having been selected, for Bryan to at
tack him on the floor Of the conven-
ton would be taken, and justly taken,
as simply gratuitous affront both
to the committee and the nominee.
Mr.. Bryan's proposed action, there
fore, would have the effect, which
might we'll he disastrous, of promptly
developing a line of cleavage in the
convention. That any intelligent man
could honestly doubt that such dis
eention would not we'll fail to be in the
Highest degree unfortunate and
fraught with the gravcst danger to
the most glowing prospects for sue
cess; that the party would dcilber-
ately and without adequate JuStltl-
cation adopt course that gives every
promise of destroying party harmony
and endangering party success, is
incredible.
Granted that Mr.. Bryan honestly
and earnestly diSapproves of Judge
Parker's selection; does he conceive it
to be his conscientious duty to demand
at any cost, regardless of the wishes
and opinion Of all other leaders, that
his individual will shall be taken and
accented as the sole rule of conduct
by which party leaders and authorl'
ties-committec, subcommittee and
convention-are to be judged?
If this be true, then Mr.. Bryan vii
never be satisfied with convention OF
party leaders preserving even SHOW
of independence of right to deliberate
and determine for the party. He VII
be content with nothing less than
"bed of justice" assembled to hear III:
orders and register his DEGREES.
1t has been charged against Mr.
Bryan that he was incapable of work
ing in harmony with any except hi
respectful servants who accepted i'm
plicitly his conscience as their rule o
action; that while less brutal, vlolen
and unscrupulous, he was no less ar
bitrary and dictatorial than Roosevelt
that perhaps far more honestly an
sincerely, but not less lntolerantl
than Roosevelt, he arrogates to HIM
self the sole right to speak Tor nj
party and to know and to express tn
popular will. Let us trust for the SAX
of the party not to mention Nj
Dryan--that this is not true.
But if this be true, then it IS hig
time for those party leaders who posS

ENGINEERS CONCLUDE
 THEIR TESTIMONY
But Right is Reserved to Introduce
 Other Evidence of Advisable.

New York, July 19.-Several men who run electric engines that haul the passenger trains to their termin- als in this city, testified today before the wage arbitration committee at the Oriental Hotel. They based their plea for higher pay upon the same ground taken hy other members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, who are striving through arbitration to induce the fifty-tWo trunk railroads of the East to increase and standard ize their pay. They urged that their work is even more hazardous than is that of the steam locomotive engineer drivers and cited many instances in which their fellows have been shock ed or burned by untoward accidents. It was developed that their average monthly wage is $45
 With the appearance as witnesses of several other freight train engi- neers Grand Chief Stone closed the case for the Brotherhood, reserving the privilege however of introducing new testimony if that course shall be considered advisable after the rail- road managers have presented their case at the hearing to be resumed at the Oriental Monday morning.
