Mallory tucked Marjorie under his
arm and Marjorie tucked Snoozleums
under hers. and they did sort Of

The porter was pale blue with excite

breath In all three bodies that they
scrambled up the steps Of the only
open vestibule.
The porter was mad enough to give
them a piece Of his mind, and they
were meek enough to take It without
q word Of explanation or resentment.

Mr.. Hilles' Forecast.

Chairman Hiles doth claim too much
True. ii is a chairman's business to claim.
He must put good face on things. He
must hearten his side, and keep ii hearten-
cd The rank and file must be made to
believe that there is victory ahead as
reward for hard and unremtting labor.
But there is an art about claiming.
To be effective il must he done in sea-
son and in reason.
Mr. Hilles' claim which appears today
offends in both particulars 1t is out of
season-decidedIy premature. Things are
Just beginning to move: and as our ma
tional things are big things there is no
telling at this time where anybody is
at. To forecast the November result
is to raise a question as to ones serious
ness or Judgment.
The claim is ont of reason. 1t gives
nothing to the progressves, and bat little
to the democrats. Now. undoubtedly,
there is fight on. Never before have
the republicans been in so bad a shape
at the beginning of presidential cam
paign. and not in twenty years have
the democrats been in such high feather
Ii borders on the absurd therefore to
represent the race as walk-over for
There seems good right to expect that
in six or eight weeks change will show
i'm the aspect of the general situation.
Mr. Roose~elt's pretentionS should suffe.
under d period of stump discussion. They
cannot be kept in their present millen-
mia iistic key. And Mr.. Wilson is booked
for a srilIing experience as to opinions
Ht has expressed as an author. and his
Probabl course of action if elected Pres
dent
From several causes therefore. Mr.
Taft may look better in early October
than he looks today. His friends believe
that conservative sentiment in both
capitalistic and labor circles will in the
cad fix upon him as the best man in the
race. If it does and appropriate action
accompanies the capitalization of such
sentiment, Mr.. Tafts prospects should
improve considerably. For although
the word conservative has been misap-
piled and out of favor for some time it
SIN spells a policy under which business
III the main Is conducted. Mr.. Wilson $
acceptance of the Baltimore nomination
rings with conservatism.
AFR. Hilles is probably right in the be-
lief that Mr.. Roosevelt will draw from
both of the old parties But certainly
not in numbers from the democratic
party For he must be intense in his
radicalism indeed who leaves the demo-
cFatic party at this time to go EXPERT
menting with such a man as Theodore
Roosevelt, with his bag of traps and
tricks.

The Busy Bosses.

Boss Barnes of New York has been
made chairman of the advisory commit
tee Of the republican national committee.
Well, why not? Why should not Chair
man Hilles. utilize all the bossery in his
party? Everybodys dom ii now.
Take the so-called progressives. The
! bossiest boss in the land is at their head.
AS boss Mr.. Roosevelt commands hon.
age from all living bosses and from the
shades of all dead bosses. And assisting
him are Boss Dixon, Boss Finn. Boss
Woodruff, and hundreds of bosslets TAX
ing their first lessons in the art of run
ming things for the dear people. Never
was new party better equipped in that
line Its whole progress to date has been
shaped by men who know all the ins
and outs of political activity.
Take the democrats. Charles F.. Muir
ply is on deck. and will remain there.
Democratic criticism does not disturb

in this campaign, and knows that the
party's managers know it. Thomas Tag

Illinois. and Mr.. Nugent i'm New Jersey.
And Boss Murphy. Boss Taggart, Boss
Sullivan and Boss Nugent compose a
husky quartet in the matter of rounding
up voters and steering them to the polls.
The republicans must take notice. With
talent of the same kind within their own
ranks. why should they not command it =?
Surely their tribulations warrant that
they put every available man to work.
Boss Barnes will have his hands full in
New York. Boss Penrose confronts a
situation in Pennsylvania more trying
than Boss Cameron or Boss Quay ever
knew. Ii Boss Guggenheim has any
time to spare. Colorado calls for it from
her highest peak And Boss Crane, who
is asking nothing more for himself in the
way of office, sees the Bay state i'm a
badly disordered condition.
Hail. hail. the bosses are all here.
What do they care about the abuse that
is heaped on them? When Boss Roose-
welt opens his capacious mouth and emits
TRADES about bosses they simply laugh.
Recognizing the fact that every celebrity

those TRADES as among Mr.. Roosevelt S

then his private secretary, and treated
the matter lightly.
But he began looking into the, subject.
and in December. 1887. after he had been
in Office nearly three years. and when the
presidential campaign for 1883 was open
ing, he made the tariff the sole topic of
his regular message to Congress, and
paved the way for his denomination. He
became not only the leading champion of
tariff reform of that period, but impressed
himself so strongly on the controversy
that men took sides as of the Cleveland.
or the anti-Cleveland. tariff school In
the short space of three years MI. Cleve-
land had mastered the tariff so thor
oughly he was able TO establish a CULT
and it exists today, although no tariff leg
islation has so far resulted from it.
May not Mr.. Wilson take a similar
course respecting currency reform? His
confessed ignorance on the subject today
may give place to knowledge. He may
refuse to be hurried. and after three years
of study come forward with a scheme of
his own. He may become in time the
leading champion of currency reform and
base his campaign for reelection on a
message dealing exclusively with the
subject.
The next Congress, even if democratic
in both branches. cannot possibly deal
with all the questions that will knock for
attention. We may safely assume that
the tariff will have the right of way.
Then the trusts should follow; and the
tariff and the trusts should keep the
Sixty-third Congress busy. Currency re-
form will keep; and the democrats may
go into the campaign of 1916 with Mr.
Wilson again the leader, and with the
cry of currency legislation shaped accord
ing to the Wilson school

Currency Reform.

Something is being made by the oppo-

OF the question. and in time come to great

When Mr. Cleveland was first elected
l'Ifsident tariff reform was pressing. His
party was urging it. and votes for him
Lad been obtained on a promise that
democratic success should mean new
schedules and duties based upon the pr.n-
ciple of a tariff for revenue only.
When this promise was called to the
new Presidents attention by tariff re-
formers impatient for action, he refused
to be hurried. on the score that he knew
nothing about4the tariff. He made the

Children of a Naturalized Citizen

From the Providence Journal.
1t is said that vigorous protests are be-
ing made in some quarters against re-
cent decision of the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor to the effect that nat
uralizatiOn confers citizenship on minor
children who happen to be domiciled
abroad, as well as on those who are with
the parent in his adopted country. Sec
rotary Nagei will prepare a statement i'm
support of the position under the nat
uralization and immigration laws. on
grounds both legal and humane. He is
well fortified, doubtless. 1t is established
that children of a naturaliZed citizen ac-
quire citizenship automatically; but the
question of the status of a child who for
any reason may still be living in the ma
tive land has apparently not been raised
for conclusive debate. Logically, why
should residence make any difference?
1t seems a foolish provision If, due to
any defect Of the law. some of the chill
Gren of American parents are like them
selves American while others are Italian,
for instance.
