American Federation OF Labor, in a

GUST T. R. WORKER.
Internal Revenue Officer Ignores
Hint to Resign.

President Taft directed the removal
from Office last night of Joseph E.
Thompson, collector Of Internal revenue
for the Alabama district, at Birmingham,
Ala. No reasons were given for the re-
movaL
Thompson is known as a strong Roose-
Welt supporter and there have been
charges that he was out working for the
ex-President. These charges began to
reach the President and the Attorney
General before the Chicago convention,
but It was decided TO withhold action for
awhile. It was said at the time that the
official could be removed on charges OF
"pernicious political activity" but It was
preferred by the administration that he
should voluntarily resign. The intima-
ton was conveyed 10 him. but he de-
clined 10 grasp 1t. a few days ago Sec
retary MacVeagh addressed a letter TO
the collector asking for his resignation,

This letter WAS made public by Mr.
Thompson at Birmingham Wednesday
night, he announcing that he had re-
fused TO comply with the request. His
reply. declining to resign. was received by
Secretary MacVeagh this morning, but
he declined 10 make It public Following
a conference between the Secretary and
the President yesterday afternoon II was
decided TO forcibly remove him from Of

New York. July 25.-The Democratic

Rochester and Saratoga also sought the

Teddy Has Another Grievance.

Mr.. Roosevelts latest charge" is
that of SHARP practice" which, of
course, means anything that does not
conform to his personal interests. Had
his men done that which he so brazenly
accuses the Taft people of having done,
IT would be square deal" 1t is
simply another version of "Whose OK
Is gored" This is what he says:
Votes were counted only by the ex-
traordinary ruling of Chairman Root
that when delegate answers present
and not voting" his alternate shall be
called to vote, always provided that
alternate is a Taft man and the dele
gate Roosevelt man. They swapped
the electoral vote of Massachusetts for
two more stolen delegates. / think it
was about as expensive a bit of sharp
practice as ! ever saw INDUCED in.

San Antonio's "Push." "

The benefit to cities from concerted
action once more has been illustrated
in the case Of San Antonio, in Texas,
which has doffed old and antiquated
habits and assumed progressivism and
an energy with results that almost are
marvellous for any Southern city, espe-
cially of one of the size and topography
of San Antonio.
Like many other places, and Incl
dentally like Washington, that city
found itself possessed of several organ
izations, the purpose of which was to
promote its commercial and industrial
welfare. They were all well inten-
toned. They were useful, but they
were frequently at odds. Why? Be
cause they did not always pull together.
Finally, becoming convinced that in
union alone there is strength, the citi-
zens urged amalgamation, which was
perfected under the name of a Cham
Der of Commerce.
What was the result. Within a few
weeks after the consolidation the
Chamber was called upon 10 raise
SII5yooo for the Gulf Railroad, in order
to bring the city nearer to Aransas
Harbor, which is 100 miles closer than
Galveston, thus lowering San Antonio's
freight rates. This amount was forth
coming speedily.
Right on top of this, the Chamber
had to provide $I6oooo for its own
maintenance. This was raised by sub
scription, and two weeks ago a cam
paign was begun to get together $780,
900 for a new railway to Mexico, and
it already has been brought to a sue
cessful end
We are not surprised to learn that,
owing to such achievements, the Cham
Der of Commerce of San Antonio has
decided to celebrate these events by a
luncheon, which its leading citizens at
tended. The accomplishments of the
past twelve months have made a grea.
impression on the Texas community
The men there have demonstrated wha;
can be done by concentrated effort, BY
cooperation. Let it be a lesson to our
own and to other communities how to
proceed toward forwarding their civic
interests.

The "Hoodoo" Of the Campaign

Mr.. Bryan. in the Commoner, proph-
estes that Mr.. Wilson will be elected.
We are inclined to modify this by say
ing that Mr.. Wilson possibly may win
if Mr.. Bryan will keep out of the cam
paign. There is no use in mincing the
truth. Bryan, in three Presidential con-
tests, has succeeded only in bringing
defeat to his party. Have the Democrats
forgotten that he stumped the country for
Judge Parker, making number of
speeches daily, as the one man best
fitted for the Presidency and how de-
terminedly he fought that same man at
Baltimore as absolutely unfit"
1t was again Bryan who succeeded in
disrupting and deadloclsing this years
Democratic convention which began
harrnoniously enough. He was sent as
delegate to Baltimore by Nebraska
with instructions to vote for his life
long friend, Champ Clark, who always
has been a Bryan supporter. But what
did he do? He violated his States in
structions at the very moment when
Nebraska's preference was about to be-
come the choice of the convention. Thus
Bryan demonstrated his contempt for
popular primaries by attacking Clark in
an unjust manner, inspired chiefly by
envy, when it seemed certain that the
Speaker would be nominated.
Not satisfied with having done this
mischief, Bryan, when the tide turned
to Wilson, endeavored to prevent his
nomination by suggesting that both
Wilson and Clark should be retired for
third man. What third manl Him.
self, of coursei But luckily for the
party, some of the leaders began to
look through his little game, and Bryan
left the convention detested even by
some of those who had been his friends.
The only chance Democracy has to
make a reasonably strong impression
upon its voters is to insist that Bryan
keep out Of the fight with both the
spoken or the written word.

Japan, Russia, and Germany.

Politics makes strange bedfellows.
This has been demonstrated once more
by the Russo-Japanese pact, which is
a deliberate slap in the face of England.
No lessl Japan not only turns her
back on her former ally; she allies
herself with her national arch-enemy.
To watch the diplomatic game, as it
is being played nowadays, requires an
alert eye. Here we face a sudden
friendship between two recent bitter
enemies, which involves a great deal
more than ever was intended by the
Portsmouth treaty; it means the re-
lection of the much-made-of Anglo
japanese alliance.
Now, as to the cause: Japan has
been complaining for some time that
England, instead of aiding, has antag-
onized her business interests. Lombard
Street has refused to lend her money,
but has advanced millions to her rival,
China. The Nishi-Nishi, of Tokyo,
speaks her mind pretty plainly, accord
ing to the Tagblatt. of Vienna:
'1f Britain should refuse to continue
her alliance with US, all We could dc
would be to bow to the inevitable. In
that case We should be forced to seek
the alliance of Germany in addition to
that of Russia. German wealth
and industry are gradually creeping ur
to that of Great Britain and America
and the efficiency Of the German army
and navy is model for the world. Il
the alliance with England should ever
be abrogated, we might be very glad
10 shake hands with Germany"
The world knows now what the Czal
and Kaiser were talking about at their
recent meeting. The new treaty reg
ulates the delimitation of the spheres
of influence of the two empires in
Mongolia and Manchuria and defines
