in the public eye by his action in hon

him for a time the criticism of those

Marshall's seyerest critics to revise
their Judgment and to concede that he
had performed his duty in spite of
great pressure to evade it for political
considerations.

OHIO PRINCIPLES.

The Taft forces are in control Of the Ohio State
They control the committee on creden-
tials by eecting elevenmen out of twenty-one; the
committee on resolutions by vote of IL to 9, and
the committee on rules by the same vote.
This situation is made possible by the vote Of
delegates elected to the State convention by county
caucuses-often by being appointed by the local
county committee. t'..
Yet fortnight ago in Statewide popular pri-
mary at which 80 per cent Of the Republican vote Of
Ohio was polled, the people did the following:
Gave Roosevelt plurality over Taft of 47,447,
and clean majority over both Taft and La Toilette
of 31,977.'
Gave Roosevelt II out Of the FL districts.
Gave Roosevelt 50 out Of a total of SO counties.
OF the 10 counties Taft carried Of them are re-
iably Democratic, having been carried by Bryan
against Taft in the last national campaign.
In ive of the counties that are Republican
strongholds, Taft not only beaten by Roosevelt
but he ran third, La Toilette nosing him out. This
is true of Cuyahoga county with Cleveland), home
of Senator Burton, which now turns up at the State
convention with Taft delegation and Senator Bur-
ton leading the fight for Taft.
No commentary is necessary to emphasize the
significance of these facts. 1t is the most forcibe
concrete illustration Of the manner and ease with

THE CROOKS POOR INCOME.

Criminologists have made more or less accurate
calculations in order to show mathematically that
honesty is the best policy. They have made broad
averages Of the amount of swag procured by crooks
and the number of years these thieves and embez-
zers have had to in the penitentary, and have
found that crime pays starvation wages
Every we'll balanced man knows that this is true,
without the aid of statistics, but il takes prac
teal illustration to carry home the truth to those who
are not we'll balanced. An illustration comes to
hand in news item from Cleveland, Ohio, setting
forth that wealthy citizen has just dsinherited the
nephew who was originally the beneficiary Of his
will, because the young man had decided to become
a crook instead of earning an honest living. His
share of the estate would have amounted to $33 0O0

The Destiny Of the Caucasian Race,
the Planet Mars, and the Present
Political Contests.
To the Editor OF TIE TIMES:

To the Editor OF TIE TIMES:
The logical destiny of the Caucasian
race Is for that race to control the
forces for its own benefit and thus to
dominate the earth through the coming
ages. This fact is corroborated by what
we learn from the planet Mars, a planet
that Is much older than the earth.
The markings on that planet show that
the forces of nature there are con-
trolled for the benefit of one only race.
The race on the earth at this time that
comes nearer doing a similar thing here
is the Caucasian race. But as to
whether the logical destiny Of that
race is to be fulfilled depends on the
degree of morality that that race puts
into its social system.
forces OF blind nature. The most in
telligent thing known to the Caucasian n
Is the Caucasian himself. Yet when he
Is without any instruction he is as
tivities will go in a haphazard manner.
ON the other hand. when he Is prop
erly trained the Caucasian can best
serve his race, and thereby he can reap
the greatest amount of possible happi-
ness: And 1t is a fact in nature that a
spocies' proper habits is the proper re-
lation or reaction between it's charac-
teristics and it's environment.

Their incomes are dependent on their
usefulness in their offices and not on
incomes derived from private property
Nor are they able to bequeath their
offices to their offspring. And yet FOR
their offspring they leave life-lasting
parental affection.
1t was through false moral teachings
that we taught an Asiatic race how tC
overcome Caucasians. And II Is through
false moral teachings that we pay trib.
! ute to private property instead of ap.
plying 1t to the well-being of the in.
dividual. 1t is the antagonism between
real and false morality that enters t.
considerable extent into our present
ism also that gives us a sidelight or
the existing anarchy in our social sys-
tenn. In another letter I will show how
this anarchy antagonizes the spirit Of

SCENE NOW SHIFTS TO CHICAGO.

With the selection of six delegates -at-large by
the Ohio State convention and the South Dakota
primary today interest in the Republican national
convention will shift to Chicago and the hearing of
the contests which the national committee must
decide.
Colonel Roosevelt is within striking distance of
chosen in States absolutely imperative to Republican
victory in November. Not living soul will sit in
the Chicago convention who can have doubt which
candidate the Republican voters want to see nomi-
mated Not living soul will sit in the convention
who can have doubt which candidate the opposition
party does not want to see nominated.
Whatever may be said for the President, his
lack of qualities for party leadership, exempiied
often in Washington during the last four years, has
been so painfully apparent during the contest for a
denomination that even his adversaries have felt
tinge of pity and regret.
He now goes to Chicago dependent upon
motley array Of delegates scores Of whom are con-
tested on the ground of being selected irregulary,
scores of whom were chosen before it was anticipated
there would be contest for the nomination. with
common knowledge that his whole cause hangs upon
those in his party with whom it is anything to beat
Roosevelt"
An open hearing and an honest decision in the
contests will eliminate the President.
But in the utterly improbable contingency that
he wins in all of them, it is inconcevable that the
dominating forces in the convention will deliberately
seek defeat; deliberately throw over the hope of
victory by permitting fatuous or stubborn or re-
vengefu motives to stand in the way Of the manifest
duty of the delegates to the party rank and file.

Makes an Appeal for Saturday Hall
Holidays for the Clerks.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
One who has had occasional glimpses
into the ways of Washington official
dom wonders why 1t would not be fair
play and probably true economy to
grant the Government clerks Saturday
half holidays during June.
In many offices this would not make
up to the clerks the number of hours
they are called upon to serve overtime.
although they are expected to work
after hours whenever SO called upon,
while II necessity demands their taxi
ing even a few minutes from office
time, 1t is taken from their annual
leave.
The idea obtains in many parts of the
country that Government clerks have
an easy time. Perhaps this idea has
grown out of former conditions, for 1t
certainly does not apply to the con-
ditions of the present with the many
restrictions under which most Gov
ernment clerks, whether conscientious
workers or not, are now placed.
AS those who have these matters to
decide for the clerks are not themselves
so restricted in regard to the hours
and minutes of their service, the mat
ter Of few hours of in the hot summer
does not, of course, come home so
keenly to them; also, this instance
probably affords opportunity for them
to score another point in their some
times seemingly far-fetched economy

oHIO's NEW CONSTITUTION.

The constitutional convention of Ohio has COM
peted its labors, and in September the organic
law for Ohio will be- passed upon by the voters. The
total cost Of the convention within the amount
appropriated by the Legislature, 100000.
The proposed new constitution is to take the
place Of the constitution under which the State is
now operating which was written in 1851, and it pro-
vides fory-two amendments to the old constitution
Whatever the defects of the new constitution,
and no doubt exist, feature stands out very
clearly: the amendments reflect the changed cond-
tons since the war. That constitution was written
for the agriculturists. This one abridges none Of
their rights, but ii is modified to meet the needs Of
cities and workingmen
In 1851 there were no great municipalities,
and no municipal problems. There were no great
public service corporations, great industrial PROB
lens, concentration of wealth, no concentration
of poverty; the submerged tenth and Big Business
are creations of the last generation.
New conditions create new duties and the Ohio
constitution of bellum days is inadequate Hence
we find the new one filed with provisions regarding
commission form of government for cities quasire-
call for certain public officials host of provisions
affecting workngmen, and clause providing for the
created by party organizations to hwart popular rule
and a return to direct government.
An analysis of the Ohio constitution of 1851 and
one of 1912 will give an eptome of the progress
of the last half century, and starte one with the
fact that although under the flag and bearing
the same name, we are entirely different people
with entirely different problems than those which
confronted the last generation.

HUBBARD OF IOWA.

In the death of Ebert H. Hubbard, Of Iowa, the
progressive movement loses one Of its best, finest
and most courageous souls. He died on the morning
after vindcaton at the hands of the voters Of his
district which proves that republics are not always
either ungrateful undiscernng. He beat his op-
ponent himself a strong and reputable man. over
whemingly at the polls, and then suddenly sue
cumbed to an attack of heart failure.
Mr.. Hubbard Of all the progressives in Con-
gress was perhaps the most unwavering in his loyal
ty to progressive principles. When other Iowans
wavered on the matter of supporting Cannon for
Speaker, Hubbard stood firm and carried the line
along in its attack on the enemy OF progress When
bl Hubbard alone from first to last took the stand
that if every other vote in the House was be cast
for that niqutous measure, his would stand recorded
against it.
When it came to the reciprocity measure, Mr..
Hubbard, though representing farming constitu-
ency, voted his convictions and made speech for
reciprocity which perhaps the best delivered in its
favor And the farmers Of the Eleventh district of
Iowa rose to appreciation of his integrity and hon
esty of purpose, and gave him that final honor OF
their support which must have made his heart glow
with joy even as it ceased to beat.
Mr. Hubbard was fine lawyer, a man of poetic
instincts and literary attainments who was perhaps
too fine in nature to be either pushing Congress-
man or forceful politician. He won in politics by
his appeal to the best in human nature, and con-
vinced the people that he was true to them because
he was always true to himself. The best that car
be hoped from his district is that il will find mar
to succeed him who will in some measure follow ir
his footsteps.

ANALosTANs FORGOTTEN CHARMS.

Private enterprise once inspired the hope that
Analosan Island which an estuary divides from the
Virginia mainland few swimmer-strokes below the
Aqueduct bridge, would be converted into recrea
ton garden and playground for the people. Has the
purpose been abandoned beyond all hope of revival?
The stay-athomes, and even the mermen and
maidens who lend daily animation to the upper
reaches of the Potomac, seem to be all unaware Of
the wild beauty and tangled luxurance of this green
retreat almost within the shadow of the Washington
Monument In the old colonial mansion which
once sat in the heart Of the island like the castle
of feudal baron, was born James Murray Mason,
whom the Confederate government sent as minister
to England and France. The old home has fallen
into ruins, and the solitude of the wildwood is so
rarely disturbed by the foot of man that Ii has be-
come a haunt
Where wild things lark and lnger
In groves as gray and gran as time.
The island-valey Of Avlon, for which the passing
King Arthur pined was not sheltered in a more
eloistral calm. And in these first June days, when
countless varieties of shrub and tree are dressed in
their greenest livery, this forgotten retreat has a
charm of its own Of which the country nowhere round
about can boast. The elder blooms nod in fellow
ship with the yellow iris. The marsh willow turns
its silver leaves to the breeze. The immemoral
song sparrow finds refuge there from the persecu,
tons of his English cousins; the wren builds and
broods unafraid The kngfsher, poising for a mo.
ment above the water, flashes like arrow upon
his prey. The blue heron dozes, knee deep in the
marsh.
1t is paradise for the naturalist and under
