Red Rains

Red raiu is fairly common. and in May. iSSa. there was heavy fan of blood red hail at CaStlewellan, County Down. Ireland. The red hue was not merely on the surface. When one squeezed the pellets the fingers were deeply stained.

WHY NOT. GENTLEMEN ANY POLITICS.

The bill which the Senate passed some weeks
ago, directing that the Government shall appeal to
the Supreme Court the Tobacco trust dissolution
case, continues to hang FIRE in the House committee.
Why?
; Since the decree Of the New York circuit court
was entered in this case, the value of the stocks Of
the Tobacco trust has approximately doubled as
indicated by market quotations.
II has done this because the decree, pretended
to be the consummation Of victory for the public,
was in fact, great victory for the trust.
The circuit court, after the Government had won
its case directed the trusts lawyers to prepare the
Decree and accepted it. despite determined protests
behalf Of the public and the independent tobacco
interests js
The Senate passed bill directing that this case
be appealed There was effort to smother it. but
public opinion demanded it. The acceptance Of such
precedent as has been created in the tobacco case
would be vastly the worst thing that could be done
under the antitrust act.
Are we to understand that the Democratic House
is immune to the appeals of public opinion; that il
cares nothing for saving the antitrust act that it
is willing to let that legislation be distorted into
permanent shelter to the trusts?
That is the only conclusion that will be possible
unless this bill is passed.
1t is going to be a very real issue in this cam
paign, too unless it is removed by the right kind
Of action.

WHOSE PROPERTY ARE THEY?

Why all this sound and fury about the people
stealing Taft's Presidential electors? Whom do
Presidential electors represent-the people or the
Bosses, or party organization? In whom is the
title of an elecor vesteda State boss the people
If vested in State boss who willed it to him but
the people? And cannot the power which vested the
ownership in him cancel the will?
Mr.. Taft has no Presidential electors except such
as the people designated should vote for him, and
nowhere has there been any effort upon, the part
of Roosevelt or his lieutenants to take any such
electors from Taft
On the other hand, by common, ordinary larceny
the Taft bosses have tried to prevent electors
selected by the people and instructed by the people
to vote for Roosevelt from being allowed on the
ticket and carrying out the peoples instructions.
The people not trying to steal their own
electors. They are merely oiling their shooting
irons preparatory to protecting their own property
from political secondstory workers. 1t is possible
as has been proved, to steal Presidential nomina-
ton, but never again in this country will it be
possible to steal Presidential election by stealing
electors who carrying out the instructions of the
people who gave them their commission to sit in
the Electoral College. T. -@.'..

NEW YORK POLICE SCANDAL GROWS.

The proportions and character to which the New
York police scandal, growing out of the Rosenthal
murder, has developed, are shocking beyond belief
1t is now accepted that the murder was the result
of carefully laid plot, deliberately rehearsed, and
that traitorous and grating police were its chief
figures. The gamblers of New York. constitutional
and insstent lawbreakers that they are nevertheless
do not appear to be comparable with the corrupt
section of the police for all-round depravity.
The chain which traces the murder plot from the
actual killing back and up to police officials, appears
complete. It is shown-and this is the most sug-
gestively horrible detail of the cold-blooded affair
that the street in the neighborhood of the Hotel
sMeropole, swbeH the killing took place, was care
fully cleared pfvehicles half hour in advance of
the shooting in order that there might be no possible
impeachment to nhe hurried getaway of the murder
car after the crime! K
Gambling and the social vices have long been
very definitely understood to be syndicated affairs
of high politics and downtown finance in New York
The proof, that would leave uncertainty has, OF
course been difficult of procurement 1t looks as il
one single incident Of contempuous excess was des-
tined to bare the whole system.
After all, the whole New York disgrace traces
back, plainly enough to the supne acqueseence' OF
the metropolis in the rule Of political machine
without conscience or any honest purpose. Tammany
is gigantic lnstrumentallty OF plunder. There are
good men in Tammany and it even has produces
some good results, in the physical management Of
the city. But it is organization, system, founded
on the lowest and most cynical code of morals. II
is corrupting, degrading, vicious. Its influence ha:
inevitably been to give nerve and encouragement te
the kind of men who capable of just such crimes
as this that has shocked the world. When plundel
sits enthroned at the top, vice and crime may be
expected to occupy the steps to the throne. New
York now knows this. - r ..@

1T ISN'T so TERRIBLE.

1t is the purpose of the Republican Congressional
campaign committee to give no countenance or aid
to candidates for Congress who supporting for
President anybody except Taft.
The Congressional committee will maintain rep
resentation at the Republican national committee
headquarters and cooperate with that organization
Notification of this attitude of the Congressional
organization might once have inspired terror in
progressive Republicans 1t will not do so this year.
In the 1910 campaign the Congressional committee
not only withdrew the light of countenance from all
progressives, but frowned menacingly upon them.
Notoriously did all it could to help defeat them.
The result was that about the only people who got
back to the House were the real progressiyes, or
those reactonaries who managed to bunco their
people into the belief that they were progressives.
The Congressional campaign committee can
terrorize nobody Its support is the certificate that

ASQUITH TEMPTS FATE.

Asquith does not seem to realize that he is chal-
lengng the inevitable simply sweeping back the
irresistible tide-when he turns a deaf ear to the
suffragsts, Birre with his Irish program, Lloyd
George with his altruistic insurance, old-age pen
sions and dsestablishment measures Churchill with
his mammoth navy bill-all these adjutants of the
British premier making progress under the most
popular and dramatic conditions, with one section of
the people cheering after another. But when his
ieutenants mention woman suffrage to him. the most
powerful prime minister Britain has seen for many
a decade gives no word or sign of encouragement
He merely allows the home secretary to ease the
sufferings of the women who fight their way into Jail
Zangwill perhaps the foremost champion of the
square deal for women, predicts that Asquith will
fall because of his relentless opposition to the cause
that he dare not face general election from his
present position. 1t is remarkable what grip he
manages to keep on his Liberal and Radical support

WHAT FEDERAL OFFICERS ARE FOR.

Apropos of rumor that William Loeb, collector
at New York, will resign and join the Progressive
party prominent Republican" is quoted:
1T would be good thing. Loeb has done moth
ing for the organization in his present position.
Ninety per cent of the customs employees voted for
Dix against Stimson two years ago, and it was all
his fault"
There's the Taft idea of what Federal official
is for He should have voted 100 per cent of those
customs employees for Stmson instead, he let 80 per
cent vote for Dix. 1t was rank, awful treason!
The business of collecting the customs and
administering his big office might be left to subordi-
nates but Mr.. Loeb, if he is to be satisfactory
official under Taft, should at least vote the customs
service employees.
