For Our Boy and Girl Readers
THE VIRGINIA REEL.
A Dance That Has Place In All
Parties,


At almost all children's parties they
finish up with n dance which in Amer
lea is called the Virginia reel and in
England Sir Roger de Coverley. Grown
people are just as fond of this dance a>
the youngsters. but it naturally he
longs to the children. as the idea of it
was taken from n very old children'S
game called the shepherdeSss. which is
stiil very popular in France.
The children form line. and then
the leader stands n little to the left
and the next child Il little to the right.
and they raise their hands as high as
their heads and form barrier. which
all the sheep must pass through. The
next child in line becomes the shep
hcrdcss and calls to her little lambs to
follow her through the barrier. which
they do while singing little French
song.
After the last sheep has passed safe
ly under the two children that formed
the barrier drop into lihe at the end.
and the two at the head of the line
form the next barrier. and SO on until
every child has had turn at being
part of the barrier for the others 10

trend of things is against him.
The country is against the third
term business, and therefore
frowns on Teddy's effort to Sc
cure the nomination for 1.-THE
more so because he himself has
said that under no circumstances
would he seek or accept a third
term. He will hardly persuade
the Republican convention to
name him.
And yet the ex-president is do
ing something right along. He
is not doing all this talk in vain.
His campaign will have results.
In the first place, he is doing a
good deal to sink himself in the
estimation of all thinking peo-
pie. He is really furnishing his
own moral character. Erstwhile
Roosevelt was regarded as the
very embodiment of truth and
veracity. His word stood at par
always, here and abroad. The
square deal talks of his made us
feel that the man was sure to a.
bide by the golden rule.
Alas! that confidence no long
er exists.
His pledges have been disre-
garded. Like the witches in
Macbeth, he has paltered with
us in a double sense.
Furthermore, he has not prac-
ticed the square deal. His mis-
representations of President Taft
are a shame. Why does he bear
so much ill-will toward his erst-
while bosom friend? And why
does he garble and twist the
Presidents words? He wants
everybody to give himself the
square deal, and why does he
not deal with the President on
that basis? Of course, he is not
bound to agree with Taft on ev-
erything, but when he disagrees
with the President he is bound
to deal fairly with the Presidents
words. He has failed to do so.
His speeches at New York, Chi
cago and Hartford make willful
false representations. And by
so doing the Colonel has succeed
ed in lowering himself in popular
esteem. The more he talks the
deeper he sinks. It is so easy to
slide down, but hard to climb up!
Then again. Col. Roosevelt is
succeeding in dividing the Re-
publican party on the eve of ell
ection. Perhaps he did not mean
to do it. He may have thought
that entering the list of candi-
dates would win all the Republi-
cans to his side. His veracity
may haye made him too credu-
lous. Anyhow, the Republicans
do'not take kindly to his candi-
dacy. There is no general de-
mand for Roosevelt the third
time.
This is obvious now, and yet
Col. Roosevelt is keeping up the
fight. The result is a divided
party-a Taft and a Roosevelt
party. If this continues much
longer the party's defeat is al
most certain.

VOL, ,8O-EstabIishedi8 1882

publican nominee won an easy
victory. Now the Republican
party is divided and probably
will give the Democratic nomi-
nee an easy victory next Nov
ember.
This may be the aim of Col,
Roosevelt. He knows by this
time that his own nomination by
the Republican convention is un-
favorable and he may be in a
mood to spite President Taft and
helping the discontented ones.
If that be his aim, he may sue
ceed; but what good will it bring
him? Nothing, save the venting
of his spleen.
The Colonel may be thinking
of 1916 and the reuniting of the
party under himself at that time.
If so, he dreams foolishly. If he
causes the defeat of the Repub-
lican party in November it will
be a political sin which can nev-
er be forgiven.
In case he fails at Chicago will
the Colonel start a new party?
1t is not likely, for third party
leaders have always failed hith-
erto in this country, and Roose.
welt would fare no better. He
will probably retire moodily to
his tent and think that Republics
are proverbially ungrateful.
What a sad fall to a mighty
man!

From the day three years ago, when
it placed its interests in the keeping

labor has critically scanned his every
act and with discriminating mind 1t is
Judging him as one who, without
clamor or demonstration, has kept the
faith.
On September 9, 1908, Theodore
Roosevelt, then president OF the
United States, wrote a letter to Con-
rad Kohrs on the issues OF the cam
paign, and addressing himself to the
lGboring men, said:
"If there is one body of men more
than another whose support | feel l
have a right to challenge on behalf
of Secretary Taft 1t is the body OF
wage-workers of the country.
stauncher friend fairer and truer
representative, they cannot find with
in the borders of the United States.
He will do everything in his power
for them except to do that which Is
wrong; he will do wrong for no man,
and therefore can be trusted by all
men,"
The Workingmen of the country
judged Mr.. Taft in 1908 by a record Of
twenty-seven years as a statesman,
administrator of national affairs and
presidential adviser, and they helped
to give him the magnificent majority
which put him in the White House.
During the three years he has been
president his excellent record has
been maintained so splendidly that
the laboring men have been confirmed
in the belief that they never had a
better friend in the White House.
The establishment of the postal saw
ings banks, which was recommended
by President Taft, was one of the
things that organized labor favored.
The sixteen million dollars now on
deposit in these repositories repre-,
sents the savings of the wage-earners
Taft's Personal Interest.
President Taft approved law on
March 80, 1908, to compensate work
men for injuries received while in the
employ of the United States. After
the passage of this act a number OF
workmen in the employ of the fed,
eral government were killed and their
families, not being familiar with the
provisions Of the law, failed to file
affidavits within the specified time
The secretary of commerce and labor
had no power to set aside the provi
sion Of the law, and was, therefore
obliged to disapprove OF the claims.
The matter was taken up by the
president, and he satisfied himself
that justice was not being done to the
families of the men who had beer
killed. He sent special message tC
congress recommending that gen
eral act be passed allowing all sucf
claimants compensation IL theil
claims were otherwise meritorious
This was an instance that proved the
president to be broad-minded, and anx
ious to aid the workingmen in any
way that he could.
An employers liability act, approved
June IL, 1906, was on January 8, 1908
held to be unconstitutional, Anothe
