In speech in Boston on Monday
President Taft declared himself in favor
of presidential primaries, under certain
conditions and when circumstances were
favorable and if so and so and so and so.
He raised such fog about his position,
that afteIall no one can tell just where
he stands.

THE primary elections in North Dakota
resulted in great humiliation for Presi-
dent Taft, and Colonel Roosevelt himself
was considerably Jared. As sample OF
public sentiment, the election gave La
Toilette $1,000 votes, Roosevelt $4,000
and Taft only about 1900.

FORMER Governor Dawson has chal-
lenged Virgil A. Highland, Republican
State chairman and leader of the TAFT
forces, TO submit to a primary election the
choice OF delegates to the national Re-
publican convention. Highland has made
no reply TO the challenge up to this time.
A secret ballot IN West Virginia would
mean defeat for President TAFT.

Republicans of West Virginia. Cover

badly fooled and that Taft delegates will
DO easily elected.

The contest for the Democratic NOM
ination for President seems 10 be narrow
ing down to Woodrow Wilson and Champ
Clark. Both are able men and good
Democrats and either would make a
splendid President. But Governor Will
son is the choice of the Democrats, we
verify believe, and if nominated he will
be voted for by hundreds OF thousands OF
independents and progressive Republi-
cans.

ANOTHER blunder of the Taft admin
istration is forcibly brought to the atten-
ton of the people in the resignation of
DR.. Wiley as chief of the United States
Bureau of Chemistry. For several years
past bitter fight has been made against
DR.. Wiley by the dopers of foods and the
manufacturers of adulterants. In the tace
of constant and powerful opposition,
however, DR.. Wiley has stood like stone
wall for pure food and an honest enforce
ment of the laws appertaining thereto.
without fear or favor. The selfish in
terestS have used every exertion to de-
feat his reforms and run him out of office,
and have manipulated other officials in
the Departmental Agriculture to dis
credit him and his work. The President
could have ended all this intrigue with a
word, had he SO desired; he could have
maintained the integrity of one of the
governments most important bureaus
and continued work of inestimable ben
eft to the people. But yielding, as usual,
to bad advisers, he permitted continu-
ance of conditions that could have but
one result, namely, the resignation, in
disgust, OF DR.. Wiley, and SO faithful
and efficient public official is lost to the
government service.
What will be the Presidents next
blunber?

NEITHER the solemn and ponderous eff
forts of President Taft nor the cratic and
spasmodic performances OF Colonel
Roosevelt seem to be having much i'm
preston upon the people OF this country.
The President IS dull and unconvincing,
and the ex-President is becoming tire
some, even though he is setting off fire
works all the time.
The fact is, the people realize that
change is necessary, and the only way to
get a real change is to put Democrat in
the White House. The House is almost
certain to again 60 Democratic, and there
are sufficient Democrats and Republican
insurgents in the Senate to pass progress
sive legislation. With Democratic
President to approve such measures, the
people will get the legislation they so
earnestly desire and so urgently need.

AFTER the hottest legislative fight ever
seen in Maryland, the House OF Delegates
Of that State Tuesday night passed the
local-option bill advocated by the Anti
Saloon League by vote OF 81 to 49,.
The ward heelers and Saloon-keeperS
and whiskey manufacturers of Baltimore
were present in full force and threatened
and abused and Quilted the members OF
the house, and though they were assisted
by many professional politicians and
gFafters and used all The forces of iniquity,
the temperance people held their own
and won out. The bill now goes to the
Senate, and it is believed that it will also
pass that body. Governor Goldsborough
has promised to sign the bill if it gets
through the Legislature.

VETERANS PASSING AWAY.

That the Civil War was fought
by boys is shown by the War De-
partment records that 81 sol volun-
teers rs years of age or under enlist
ed in the Union Army. This was
near the age limit, for there were
1923, II years or under. The l6-
ycar-olds of 1861 are now 81, and the
very youngest who wore the uniform
is over 60.
Government statisticians estimat"
that there are about $50, 600 civil
war survivors, including Confederate
and Union men. General Ainsworth
figures that 2,l2S,94S men served in
the Union army or navy. Of the
survivors about 100000 are Union
and $50, GOO Confederate veterans.
So that more than thrce-fourths of
those who fought in the greatest con-
tlict of modern times are dead.
They are passing away rapidly.
Pension Office records show that Tn
ion veterans are dying at the rate of
100 a day, 3G, 900 n year. As they
reach 'thrrrscorc years and ten the
average mortality increases, so that
Gen. AinswOrth estimates that in
1913 there will be but 400, 721 union
veterans, in 1920, 25l ,721, in 1890
only q ,O33, and the last Civil War
veteran will answer the last call in
1913.
''Thc ranks of the veterans grow
thinner year by year, and those who

.Ex.Gov. CRoTnERs DEAD.

Former Governor Austin Lane Croth-
ers died at H. 10 o'clock Saturday MORN
ing at the home of his nephew, Omar D.
Crothers, Elkton, Md.
He had been unconscious for about 36
hours before the end. DR.. W. D. Caw-
ley, his attending physician, had been
constantly at the bedside for "a hours
without sleeping.
The sinking man did not recognize any
of those near him and had not been able
to talk with any of his relatives for sew
eral days He had not taken any medi-
cines or nourishment for about 20 hours,
and he seldom opened his eyes. Rev.
DR.. E. P. Roberts, pastor of Elkton
Methodist Church, called on Mr.. Crothers
several times, but was unable to converse
with him on religious matters.
For long time Mr.. Crothers had been
sick man. Many of his friends say
that he really never recovered from the
attack of typhoid fever which occurred
soon after he was nominated for Govern
or. In the early part of his administra-
ton, however, he showed but few effects
of his illness.
He was capable Of prodigious amount
of work and did a prodigious amount,
enough to have killed a man of lesser
strength. To his hard work for the four
years of his term as Governor his friends
attribute his death. 1t was undoubtedly
FASTENED by the work he did in the pr
mary and Gubernatorial campaigns of
last summer and fall.
He had had slight attack of sickness
before the campaign began, and another
after it was well under way, but he never
slackened up for day.
He never knew he had kidney disease
until recently, and believed himself to be
suffering from some gastric trouble,
which, if he were careful, would yield to
treatment. Until month before he died
he did not think himself seriously ill.,
After he retired from Office he to "A
very great extent dropped politics and
would not talk for publication on political
matters. His last political utterance
was an interview which he gave to The
SUN ndorsing in the strongest terms the
candidacy of Gov Woodrow Wilson, of
New Jersey, for President.
In his death Maryland loses one of her
most valuable citizens and his party one
of it's truest leaders. 1t will probably be
years before his real worth to his State
and his party will be understood or APP
preciated.
Governor Crothers was politician, yet
one of broad vision. He could see IA long
way ahead. And he was practical poll
tician. Loving his State. he wanted to
serve her with the best that was in him.
