BUT A TEMPORARY VICTORY.

Politically speaking, it is certainly Ar
outrageous thing to find that in Cali
| fornia, a great State of this Union. the
laws are such that they will disfran
chise the supporters of National Pres
| idcntial ticket. Such a thing as this
was never heard OF before, and if il
had been stated AS possible in any for
mcr generation of the National life. il
would have been secuted as an impos
sibility. And vet we find ii to be the
actual fact that in California no voter
who wishes to cast his ballot for Taft
can do so, This is by reason OF the
fact that the Roosevelt gangstcrs have
obtained control of the State and Of the
party machinery. and although they do
not belong any more to the Republican
party, they are using the organization
name, and the position of that party
for their own disorcanizing purposes,
The laws of California are such, it
appears. that lot Of political br,gands,
if they happen to he in u position which
controls the makeup of the ticket, can
SO make up that ticket as TO favor
themselves and rule cf from all posi-
BILE opportunity to vote those who are
Republicans in fact. That is TO say, n
piratical political party has captured
the Republican ship in California, is
pillagine it, and is making the Repub
hcans walk the plank.
Needless to say, this is but tempo
rary victory. for the Republican party
i'm California cannon be killed, even
though it is muzzled tins year; and
those who do this mu2Zling Will 90
down to obscurity in political infamy
which they have richly earned. The
Republican party OF California will be
organized as Republican, Will remain
Republican, and will he the exponent
in that State OF Republican principles
long after every one of the political
pirates who have now triumphcd under
their black flag have gone into a shame
full oblivion.

STEAMBOAT" SERMONIZING.

The first presidency delivered some
telling blows to the Progressives and
the Democrats at the opening session
of conference yesterday. President
Smith defended the constitution by
word of mouth while violating it In
practice by offering, political advice
from the pulpit. AS we have said be-
fore, President Taft does not need uu.
constitutional interference with poIiti-
cal liberty to aid him in upholding the
constitution
President Jund followed his chief
with an appeal TO all the saints to let
well enough alone. AS Mr.. Dooley says,
President Lund is one Of those who
want to make the temporary organiza-
tion of the world permanent That
was his definition of standpattcr -
If the next House of Representatives
happens to be Democratic, which is not
at all impossible, what splendid ma
terial the first presidency is preparing
for contest in the event the Repub-
lican candidates are successful at the
polls in this State. Religious advice to
voters and political instructions to read
ers of an official church organ, added
to a thousand evidences already accu-
mulated, would read we'll in the Con
gressional Record.
Then think what a start has been
made. Conference has only begun, To
night Saturday there is to be meet
ing of the seventies and Monday morn
ing general priesthood meeting
1t promises to be a regular old time
spirit conference with Big Boss Smoot
pulling the strings. When will the lead
ers ever tumble TO tho fact that the
people arc sick and tired of such humil-
iating performances?

purposes of her own, md it is likely
that the other European powers have

WILSON ON TAFT.

We have noted heretofore that Gov.
crnor Wilson has given to the Roose-
veit crowd an example of fair minded
ness in the treatment Of President Taft
that must have been shock to the
Roosevelt boosters, but which the
American people will approve as not
only the fair thing and the courteous
thing, but as showing the proper
amenities and courtesies of public life.
In his talk at st, Paul, Governor Will
son said:

united states who knows the facts can

Governor Wilson s idea that he would
rather have tho advice of crowd such
as was hearing him than the advice
Of Cabinet is purely academic, Of
course, and is intended, no doubt, as a
rhetorical windup for his courteous per-
sonal allusion to President Taft.

IRRIGATION CONGRESS WORK.

Senate Committee Orders Report on
Measure Limiting Hours.

The bill limiting the hours of labor on
government work by private contractors
to eight hours a day was ordered favor
ably reported from the Senate committee
on education and labor yesterday. The bill
already has passed the House. No amend
ments were offered by the Senate COM
mittee.
The bill has been the object of serious
attack BY manufacturers and government
contractors throughout the country. They
contended that it deprived a man of his
constitutional right to work as long as
he wanted to. would prohibit them from
working overtime on hurried government
contracts and would place great hard
ships on the contractors. The Senate COM
Inittee held prolonged hearings on the
measure. arguments both for and against
the bill being adduced.
The bill directs that all government
contracts shall stipulate that parties do
ing work for the government-both con-

ate on an eight-hOur basis. 1t would not
affect, however. contracts for land or
