POETRY ON STREET CANS
A Florida Town Finds Way to Solve
the Garbage Question
New York Herald.

1 rem the New York Herald
Painted jingles on street cans for hold
ing refuse were tiled with success by
the woman's club of small Florida
town not long ago. The cans were deco
rated with bright eolors and placed neal
the cub, where fruit eaters and careless
newspaper readers might be tempted e
throw away skins and waste paper.
The jinges We're so bright and extend
ed such a cordial invitation 10 everybody
to nh the refuse cans that 1t looks as
though the clean street problem has al
last been successfully solved, SO far as

REPUBLICANS PROTECTED
 TRUSTS IN NEW JERSEY

New York, Oct. 25.-In reply to the message read by former Senator Rev. eridge in Louisville, as coming from Colonel Roosevelt, in which it was stated that Governor Wilson had not prosecuted the Standard Oil or To- bacco Trust as New Jersey corpora tions, Senator James A. O'Gorrnan made public to-day the following tele- gram from Governor Wilson:
 Authorize you to say that Repub- 1ican majority in Legislature made revision of corporation laws inpos- sib1e, and no New Jersey official could prosecute for propose dissolution for breach of Federal statute.
 WOODROW WILSON .''
 "Governor Wilson's telegra m puts the matter squarely up to the Repub- 1ican Legislature of New Jersey" said Senator O'Gorman.
 Governor Wilson's position is that the powers of the States over corpora tions chartered in the several States should not lie dormant nor be usurp- ed by the Federal Government, but Governor Wilson insists that the trusts should be prosecuted, both by the states and the Federal Government, and he believes that not merely the civil but also the criminal portion of the Sherman Law should be enforced against the trusts and trust mag mates.
 Governor Wilson, in his inaugural

by Governor O. c. Colquftt of Texas to the governors of the other states. Governor Baldwin is now in receipt of one of these letters, which is a part of the propaganda of the Texas Anti Tuberculosis Association. It is de- cIared in the letter that the only ob- ject is to save those afflicted the hardships of the journey and the re- suItant disappointment on account of the lack of facilities for caring for them. Statistics for the various states show only five persons in Tex as, afflicted with tuberculosis, who were born in this state, and only one whose body was sent back. Illi- nois heads the list with 99 of her ma lives who have gone there, and sixty eight whose bodies were sent back There is an average of twenty three persons from each state now in Texas afflicted with tuberculosis. These statistics are based on a period of five and half years.
 There are no free hospitals, says the letter, in the Southwest for other than citizens of the Southwestern states, and no assistance can be given strangers by charitable associations because the public does not contribute funds for that purpose. Owing to

address, and also on three other oc- casions, has demanded that the Leg islature of New Jersey revise the cor poration laws, in order that he and the proper officials might have the powers of prosecution and dissolution which they now lack.
 Senator Beveridge has forgotten that in 1911 the Senate of New Jer- sey had a Republican majority. The Republican majority in the New Jer- sey Legislature was so buBi1y Ey1Rs to destroy Woodrow Wilson's progres- sIve legislation that it had no tlT1e to respond to his repeated demands that the corporation laws of New Jer- sey be made effective to prosecute and dissolve the trusts.

WHY WASTE YOUR vorE2

Every vote for Woodrow Wilson is vote for progressive government '' says the New York World. Every progressive vote against Woodrow Wilson is vote thrown away, or worse than thrown away.
 ''Why waste your vote?
 MT. Roosevelt cannot be elected As between him and MT. Taft the contest is merely question of which will run third. This may be in terestfng but it is not important to the welfare of the American people. Even if MT. Roosevelt could by any possible chance be elected, his victory would result only in a desdlocked government. He would have a hos tile Congress to deal with, wIsief1 did not recognize his leadership and which would not work with him His elec- tion would mean merely four years of turmoil without profit to the coun- try.
 "Governor Wilson can be elected. and he will be elected But this is not enough He should be elected by a majority so great that there can be no mistake as to the meaning of the peoples mandate. He will go into office with a Democratic House. and if his majority is large enough he will have a Democratic Senate as well. This will make President Will son the leader of a united party in full control of both branches of Con- gross and in g position to carry out all the progressive policies to which it is pledged.
 '-The country will have immediate revision of the tariff to reduce the cost of living, with as little distur- bance to legitimate business as pos sible. It will have an honest. en- forcement of the law against preda- tory trusts and monopo1ies
 s.It will have a free government emancipated from boss rule and from corporation rule. It will have a sane, progressive administration of public affairs from the day of Wood

 That Is what the great mass of the American people want, whether they call themselves Dem ocrats or Republicans or Progressives. That $ what they will get if they act intel ngently. The way to get it is to give Governor Wilson a majority so over whelming that it will be indeed the voice of the people.
