The Steam Roller,

Washington Democrat: A great
"holler" is going up about the steam
roller in Chicago. The Roosevelt
boosters are bowling their heads off
in which they show that they are not
dead game sports. Roosevelt, who Is
hunter and ostensibly man OF val
or, surely ought to be game enough
to take his medicine when it is CIV
en- to him in such good doses. When
you are licked, you are licked, In
politics, as anywhere else, and the
only manly thing to do is to grin
and bear it.
Roosevelt is receiving no other
treatment than that accorded to the
vanquished each time since the world
began. But he need not 20 very far
back in history to find a case in point
No farther back than 1908, the steam
roller was at work in Chicago, only
the difference is that instead of Roose-
welt being run over by it, he was the
chaffeur and ran over everybody that
came into his way.
Roosevelt was handling the steer
ing gear. Everybody that was not
for him and Bill got run over.
The Sioux City Journal says out
lot 200 contests in 1908, all but three
went for Roosevelt. If you monkey
with fire., you are apt to get burnt.
Look out for the cars!

THE CHILDREN AT WORK.

There are more than 100000 Hit
crates in the United States. and one
in seven of all children between 10
and IA are not in school, according to
the Child Labor Bulletin,Sa new quar-
terly review issued today by the Ma
tional Child Labor Committee. Twen>
ty-nine states do not care whether
children can even read and write
when they permit them to go to work,
and there are million children to-
day under the age of sixteen years
who are employed in the various m
dustries Of the country. in addition to
another million in agriculture, only a
part of whom are assisting their par
ents on the farm"
The first number Of the Bulletin is
devoted to child labor and education.
the subject of the English Annual
Conference on Child Labor, held m
Louisville, but incidentally 1t shows
how far the United States has pro,
crossed since the first child labor law
was passed in Massachusetts in 1876.
Thirty-nine states have passed child
labor laws since the organization or
the National Child Labor Committee
in 1904. The fourteenth birthday is
now the lowest limit for work for
children in the northern states, with

Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana and
Virginia.
Strong indictment is brought against
the child labor system in that 1t
means racial degeneracy, the perpetu-
alton of poverty, the enlargement OF
illiteracy. the disintegration Of the
family, the increase of crime, the low
ering of the wage scale and the swell
ing Of the army Of the unemployed.

The MOSQUITO.

The Mosquito.
The gentleman mosquito
Is pleasant, sweet and kind.
The thought Of giving trouble
Is distant from his mind;
But o, his little lady
A vampire you will find.
Time was when smoke would choke
her
And bergamot would bar,
But now she thrives on smudges
OF incense and cigar.
She's fully acclimated
To all the scents there are!
She raises up her children
In pool, or pond or fen,
And teaches them persistence,
To try and try again,
We put up screens against her
So that the summer evenings
May be the bane OF men.
We put up screens against her
She suueezes through the screen;
We fill her haunts with coal oil
She thrives on kerosene;
She sails through all our nettings
Unruffled and serene
The gentleman mosquito
Pursues no bloody trail
He makes no mortal suffer,
He makes no mortal rail;
But o, beware the female
Who's deadlier than the male.
-Berton Braley

NOISE, BUT NOT BRAINS.

There was flood of oratory offer
ed on the question of temporary chair
man. A dozen or fifteen men spoke
to either side. But Cyrenus Cole, edi-
tor Of the Cedar Rapids Republican,
who was present in the convention at
the time, reports through the col
umns of his paper that on the whole
it was disappointing series of
speeches. Those who have attended
the great conventions Of the past felt
a lack of greatness in the speeches.
There were two that rose to some
eminence, as Mr. Cole Viewed their eff
forts. One of these spoke for Mccoy
ern and the other for Root. The form
er was Hadley of Missouri. and the
latter ex-Congressman Watson of In
diana. They did not make great
speeches. but they showed some evil
dences of craftsmanship and of
thought. They spoke concisely and
often eloquently They we're listened
to and they held the command of their
audience. Concerning the others Mr..
Cole says:
But the rest was more like wind
jamming than either oratory or states
manship. Johnson of California is an
amiable butcher of the English Ian
guage. His grammar was beyond en-
durance, nncouth and unlettered as
he is. He spoke from an abundance
of wind rather than richness OF
brains. He Is a noisy charlatan.
Heney of California, whose reputation
rests on his processes against Abe
Reuf, was also extremely noisy, but
he did not leave great deal of mat
ter for thought. On the Root side
such men as Gov Bradley of Kentucky
and even Serene Payne, the author of
the famous tariff bill, did not rise high
! as orators and their influence upon
4 the audience was not large.
/ The whole flood of oratory that the
convention was compelled to listen to
tended TO show that great men are
not as numerous in the party conven-
4 tions as they were in former years

soils and the Garfields who thrilled
the convention Of 1880, convention
that was frequently referred to, we're
all absent and no substitutes have
grown up in the party for their
places"
Mr.. Cole was looking for great lead
ership and the impression left on his
mind was entirely disappointing. He
says that the men who now seem te
dominate the party are mostly nois,
fellows, men who have made reputa
tons not on years of craftsmanship
or state service. but who have come
into prominence on some local or po
lice issue, like Heney with his Reu
case and Lindsay with his juvenile
court ideas in Denver. He admits tina
these things are all well enough II
their way, but they do not tend t.
make statesmen in the old and accept
4 ed sense of the word. They are owe
night reformers, who spring into prom
! inence by announcing some new O

LATE Young writes from Chicago
that Roosevelt has the voice, but Taft
has the votes. AS to Col. Cecil Lyon
of Texas, Mr.. Young says that he may
never be as handsome as he was be-
fore Mr.. Devine of Colorado exposed
him and his methods, but he will
know more. when the man on horse
back talks about stealing delegations
his words will not have their former
weight with those who heard the de-
bate on the contested cases" The
gentleman from Colorado seemed to
be quite familiar with Colonel Lyons
biography and he recited it with a
freedom that was shocking even to a
Texas man.
