While campaign managers for both
President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt
are claiming a triumph in Massaehu-
sets, unbiased analysis will. We be-
lieve, disclose substantial advantage
for Mr.. Taft. On the face Of the re-
turns, the delegates elected are d.
vided, half and half, while the prefer
entail vote gives the president q sub
stantial majority over the colonel. II
the delegates therefore carry out
their instructions regarding the sew
eral districts and the state at large
as their constituencies, Taft will have
twenty-six and Roosevelt ten of the
thirty-six votes in the convention ap-
portioned by the Bay state.
Aside from capturing more than
two-thirds OF the delegation. Presi-
dent Taft has demonstrated that the
Roosevelt wave, which had seemed
apparently irresistible in Illinois,
Pennsylvania, Nebraska and Oregon,
is not necessarily overpowering
wherever a direct primary vote is
had. The president has met in per-
son the fighting forced upon him by
the opposition, and has done SO with
measurable success, which will be
strongly encouraging TO him and his
supporters in the states that are yet
to select their delegates.

Another Democratic Bid.

The sweeping anti-injunction bill
reported by Chairman Clayton Of the
house judiciary committee is mani
testify another democratic bid for
votes. Labor leaders have long adj
yocated the principles this measure
embodies. but even they probably
have little expectation Of the bills
enactment into law. The bill pro-
yides specifically against blanket in
functions. reiterates the unrestricted
right OF the workman to assemble
peaceably and upholds the boycott
and right OF Withholding patronage
by concerted agreement.
This is such a radical and sudden
manifestation Of love for the laborer
on the part OF the democracy that II
must naturally arouse suspicious. The
democratic majority of the judiciary
committee has no more idea Of pass
ing this bill than Of abolishing the
tariff, but that will not interfere with
their manufacture OF campaign capt.

Duties of Army Chaplain..


An unusual publication from official
sources Is the pamphlet distributed from
the office Of the chief Of staff Of the
War department. entitled, Chaplain
Duties and How Best TO Accomplish His
Work" by Chaplain George J. waring,
Eleventh cavalry. The text is divided
into such subjects as practical sugges-
tons, chapel buildings. religious services.
post exchange, libraries. post schools, en-.
tertainments. visitation Of troops, Of hos
pitfalls and Of the guardhouse. II is urgei
that there be a distinct building of
ecclesiastical architecture devoted to re-
ligious service. 1t is also recommended
that the government allow IS a week to
every post In this country to be paid to
the ministers in those churches in the
nearby town who have at least fifty
members Of their church in that post.
II Is pointed out that chaplain should
not be employed in conducting the post
exchange. and that he can better en-
ploy his time in taking an interest in the
post school, having charge OF entertain
ments and visiting the troops, those in
hospitals and those in the guardhouse.
