Indianapolis News: With all these
influences taken into consideration, 1t
is not hard to see that Governor Will
son might well doubt the value of the
support Of Harper's Weekly, and that
when he was asked the direct ques-
ton he would with his usual frank
ness say so. The effect of the change,
one may very readily believe, will tend
to strengthen his candidacy among the
people in general because it removes
a suspicious connection that they were
unable to explain to themselves.
The truth of the mater may be that
Governor Wilson has been such a
shock and disappointment to certain
interests that expected him to fail
readily into their political ways that
they have decided that it is unwise 20
lend aid or comfort of any kind
toward making him president who
would prove equaily unsatisfactory IL
them and equally satisfactory to the
people who want to stop the encroach-
ments of Big Business on the govern
ment.''

on the assumption that it was Harvey
that blew greatness into Wilson. 1t
is hardly necessary to point out that
this assumption verges on nonsense.
If Governor Wilson discovered that
Colonel Harvey was controlled by the
conviction that he was the father oi
and chief proprietor Of the Wilson
candidacy the governor may be ex-
cused for deeming the friendship irrI-
tating and irksome. That Colonel
Harvey is able to prove that on some
foraway date, before any one else he
suggested" the name of Wilson, es-
tablishes no rights of ownership.
Indeed, it has seemed obvious to
many friends of Governor Wilson from
the beginning that the prominence of
Harvey in the Wilson movement was
an element of weakness rather than
of strength. This was not wholly, per
haps not principally, because Colonel
Harvey has been accused of intimacy
with Wall street, but because of a
srectes of overzeai in the manner of
the advocacy. If Governor Wilson has
sense and sensitiveness, and it is to
be assumed that he has, he must have
souirmed not a little as he read what
was said of him. He must have re-
f1ected on the truth of the saying that
no blows are so hard to bear as those
from a foolish friend.

New York World: For a presiden-
tial candidate to tell an influential
supporter more than five months be-
fore the nominating convention and
over nine months before the election
that his support is no longer desired
is surprising.
For a man to tell an intimate friend
that his loyal and long continued work
in his behalf is no longer a service but
an injury is plainly unpleasant.
But we can see nothing shocking in
giving this frank answer to q plain
question Presumably Colonel Harvey
wanted the truth when he asked the
question. Presumably Governor Will
son believed he was telling the truth
when he answered.
'1ngratitude!" arises the chorus of
Governor Wilson's shocked opponents.
We should be far from shocked even
if we could discover ingratitude in
Governor Wilson's position.
Ingratitude is one of the rarest vir-
tues of public life. Gratitude" is re-
sponsible for many of our worst po-
litical abuses. Upon gratitude is
built every corrupt political machine;
upon gratitude" is founded the power
Of every ignorant and INSCRIPTIONS
boss; in gratitude is rooted the sys-
tenn of spoils, of log-rolling, of lobby
ing. Lorimer was elected by graft
tude." Payne Aldrich bills are passed
for gratitude" Hartman campaign
funds are raised for gratitude The
great majority of the voices which are
denouncing Wilson's ingratitude are
the voices of machine politicians,
chief among whose stock in trade is
this gratitude"

Unaccountab1e Attitude of
County Commissioners.

It is difficult to understand why the
county commissioners. four out of five,
should refuse to perform so urgent a
public duty as that contemplated in
the division of the eight larger city
voting precincts.
There is not person in Pensacola
who has ever witnessed an election
here, but who knows, and the COM
nissioners themselves certainly know,
that this division should be made now.
Some Of the precincts are SO large
that a laboring man, in order to be

lay off from work to take his turn at

NEW TEN PIN
LEAGUE LAUNCHED
IL Is Composed of Players of Pensa-
cola, Fort Rarrancas and the Cruiser
Montgomery.

Arrangements were completed last
night for a new ten pin league COM
posed of players Of Pensacola, Bar
rancas and the [. S. 5. Montgomery.
This promises to be one of the best
contests ever held in Pensacola in
bowling tournaments and some rec
ords may be smashed before the sea-
son comes to an end.
The Montgomery team is well known
here among the local talent, having
had several warm contests on the local
alleys.
The two teams from the fort are the
Pick of the post and several are pro-
fessionaI bowIers, having a long string
Of victories to their credit.
It is needless to state that the To-
cal team will be in the running from
beginning to the end of the season,
as the men chosen for this special
league are the bets in town and ex-
pect to carry off the honors, although
they may have q hard struggle.
The season commences wednesday,
Jan. 31st, and viii continue for twelve
weeks, until Wednesday. April Goth.
The regulation rules of the Ameri-
can Bowling Congress will be strictly
observed in all games and the teams
consist of five men each.
The games will be played alternate
~ between Pensacola and the Fort
Barrancas alleys, the first week com
mencing in Pensacola, second in Bar
rancas, third in Pensacola, etc. A
beautiful trophy will be presented to
the winning team and special medals
for other honors will be given to con-
testants.
There will be a practice game on the
local alleys Wednesday night between
q local team and a team from the
post and also one with the Mont
gomery team probably Saturday night

Courageous and Progressive.

Kansas City Star: In view of the
Affiliations of Harper's Weekly doubt
less Governor Wilson felt that the
support of the editor, his friend,
Colonel Harvey, was putting him in a
false light with the country, Doubt
less too it might be wished that the
governor had not found it necessary
to convey any such intimation to
Colonel Harvey. A man may have
well meaning friends whose assistance
he would like to get along without,
but which he must simply accept as
one of the handicaps to be carried as
best he can.
In all his relations he has shown
himself a strong fighter for progressive
ideas. His energy, courage and ability
have made him a national leader in
the forward movement. Against these
qualities it is believed his lack of tact
in this case will not weigh heavily
with the mass of voters.

The ballot this year will be the

the day following the election.
What inspectors want to serve that
long and what inspectors can possibly
make a correct count under such cir

Proves Wilson'S Strength.

Boston Transcript: 1t is question
able whether the exact status of a
candidates fitness can be judged by
one episode of this sort. Undoubted-
ly Governor Wilson was right in de-
cIaring that Harper's Weekly was
hurting his candidacy, just as it would
be decidedly inmicaI to the interests
of any candidate to have one Of the
largest corporations in the country
known as backing him. Any effort on
Wilson's part to remove the impress
sion that there was any corporation
or big business enlisted in his sup
port ought to help him in the long
run. = If there has been no
interruption in the strong popularity
which Wilson has enjoyed among all
classes of this country it does not
make very much difference what
Colonel Watterson or Colonel Harvey,
or the politicians say.
Straw ballots are being taken all
over the country to estimate the
chances of candidates. Their value is
problematical but their contents are
interesting. Where any straw ballot
has been taken that ballot has been
pretty uniformly indicative OF popular
strength for Wilson. It might be fair
to cite such a straw vote as that held
in Oberlin college the other day
This college is at Oberlin. Ohio, as
everyone knows. and is one of the
strong schools west of the Allegheny
mountains: Wilson, 256; La Toilette
so; Taft, 81; Roosevelt, II; Harmon
II, while Hughes, Folk, Bryan, Knox
Debs and Clark got a few votes each
This preponderance of strength for
Governor Wilson in a state in which
Governor Harmon and President Taft
live is surprising.
