Kansas CITY Journal: III anything
should happen to Mr.. Roosevelt, this
(progressive) movement would be over.
Parties to live must be built on moro
substantial basis. SO II one man stubs
his toe its usefulness will not be over"
This is the observation Of Ormsby Nc
Harg, contest manager for Roosevelt
at Chicago. Although Mr. McHarg did !
more than any other single Individual
to arrange the fake contests In the
south that were to give plausibility to
the Roosevelt claims Of robbery at
Chicago, he Is not willing to follow his
candidate to political suicide McHarg
is too smart for that. He has his own
personal grievances against President
Taft-who nipped McHarg's exorbitant
fee from the Choctaw Indians-but he
is not going to ride losing horse oven
for spite.
The progressive" party Is g. one
in THEODORE Roosevelt and without him
there would not be even the inconse-
quential showing now being made.
Roosevelt started the Bull Moose"
movement for his own personal aggan-
dizement. Therefore II Roosevelt should
Stub his toe" the whole thing would be
off, There would be no progressive"
party for not single politician attach
ed to the third party movement could
carry It on. Even Roosevelt with his
dominant personality his political cun-
ming, his wonderful energy. his remark
able tenacity and overweentng ambition
cannot make the movement more than
flash In the pan. AS Mr.. McHarg sug-
gests, it takes more than the disap-
pointments Of one individual to give
Impetus to new political party. The
Bull Moose movement is not based
upon a single sound principle, 1t has no
vital issue Of it's own, It answers no de-
mand and has for its sole object the
personal vengeance and self-exploita-
ton of an Individual. True. 1t Is backed
by Wall Street But even an abundance
Of money will not suffice. There must
be something in such a movement to
appeal to the voters, and that is the
fatal deficiency OF the Roosevelt party.
Already the Bull Moose has been de-
serted by the larger part Of his person
al following that amounted to any
thing Even the seven little governors"
have dwindled to two, and these two
are without national standing or In
fluence Not a single creditable leader
Of the Roosevelt fight before the Chi
cago convention Is left to give consola-
ton to the desperate candidacy OF the
Bull Moose. johnson, Heney, Clapp,
Garfield and Pinchot now constitute
are all OF small caliber. Whatever Nc
Harg's faults, he has analysed the third
party movement correctly. Without
Roosevelt, it would dissolve in an hour.
If the colonel should stub his toe the
dear people would be left to drift for
themselves. What precarious situa-
ton when the salvation of the republic
is dependent upon a single hot-headed
and irresponsible Individual.

FINISHES LONG WALK
cattieman Wins Prize Of $12,575 for
Walking From Denver.
,, Nevn.ner Union News Service.

Western Newspsper Union News Service.
Baton Rouge.-W. A. Chapman, Wy
oming rancher, 62 years old, wound
up a trip of 1898 miles in Baton
Rouge, and received a formal letter
from Gov. Hall stating that he had
visited the executive office, the last
point ON his long jaunt.
Chapman now claims the champion
ship of the country as long distance
walker and incidentally wins the
purse of s12,575 offered by the Stock
mems Association and Humane So
ciety of Colorado. Seven contestants
began the long walk, but Chapman is
the only one who stuck it out.
The trip was to have ended at Pitts
burg instead of Baton Rouge, but the
Humane Society called off the last
stage of the journey.
I'm as fine as the day left" states
MIR. Chapman.
Chapman's journey began in Den
yer. whence he went to Chicago and
then through the New England states,
down the Atlantic coast to Florida.
Next he went along the Gulf to Mobile
and finally reached New Orleans. He
remained here for a few days, begin
ming then his final lap. He crossed the
river at New Orleans, went to Thi-
bodeaux and continued through Napo-
leonyille and Donaldson to White
Castle. There he again crossed the
river and wound up here.

DECISION AFFECTS TAXES
State Will Lose Some Railroads fol
Source of Revenue.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton Rouge.-The eject of the de-
cision of the Interstate Commerce
roads of the state, known as tap lines,
are not common carriers and not en-
titled to share in the joint rates is
already being felt in this state, ac-
-cy:yit ss----tu ASststuHt- -Aetoruey GeH-
eral Barrow.
Several of the tap lines have noti-
fled the railroad commission that
they will discontinue as common car
riers under the state law as soon as
they can be dissolved and that they
will then reorganize as private car
riers. The line will become then
merely plant facilities, passing from
under the control of the railroad com
mission.
Incidentally it will mean that these
roads will become one of the sources
of revenue for the parishes under the
proposed tax amendments as prepar-
ed by the tax commission. When
the segregation of the state and local
sources came up for discussion 1t
was argued that the plantation tram
way lines, being merely plant facili-
ties, should be left for parish taxa
tion. It was then urged by represen-
tatives from the lumber section that
a similar exemption should be made
in the case of the short lumber lines
which are used for private purposes
only. 1t was finally agreed that it
should be provided that all railroads
under the control of the commission
should be taxed for state purposes.
AS these former tap lines will no
longer be under the control of the
commission the state will not be able
to tax them.
