Boies Penrose and Murray Crane
are preparing tonight TO accomplish
the political destruction Of Theodore
Roosevelt by making William II. Taft
the Republican nominee for the presi

it will all be over by sundown tomor

Today's whirl of the wheel put the
regulars in the position they have long
been seeking, Tonight they asked
Taft if he wanted the nomination, and
he said that he did. Now they are
going to give il TO him.
While Roosevelt is in the Florentipc
room Of the Congress telling dwind
ling crowd of his new third party
movement, Taft is in the White house
talking over the long gdistance telephone
with Murray Crane about the complete
draught of the platform. He is con
WINGED that he is going 70 be elected
so convinced that he has even accepted
the suggestion OF Jim Sherman as
running mate.
There is no talk of compromise

They will begin the obsequies by

business will be accepted without OBJ

THE RAILROADS AND Lee
LATION.

The following editorial from the
Baltimore Sun is so true of rail-
roads everywhere, and so plainly
expresses the real situation in every
state that we submit it to our read
ers:
Yesterday, Senator Maloy i'm
trodueed bill in the Senate at An
napolis requiring the railroads of
the State to place extra crews on
passenger trains under certain cir
cumstances. A few days before
Senator Hammond introduced bill
providing for the taxation of stocks
land bonds held by railroad com
panies upon which no taxes now
are paid. Yesterday, the Interstate
Commerce Commission handed down
a decision to the effect that the
railroads may be required to carry
certain classes of freight at a
loss If existing rates are necessary
to enable small dealers to compete
with their large rivals. The rail-
way engineers on all the lines east
of Chicago are preparing for strike
In case their demands for higher
pay are not acceded to, Meanwhile
the railroads are not permitted to
increase any OF their rates on any
classes of goods.
Isn't 1t about time to give the
railroads fair chance to earn
8 per cent dividend on their stock?
Doubtless, some years ago, they all,
more or less. sinned grievously
against God and man, They grant
ed rebates, they watered stock, they
showed discrimination, their high
officials took graft from the sup
ply companies and made the public
pay for it, and there was no health
in them But the gross abuses
have certainly been corrected The
Interstate Commerce Commission
Keeps a pretty firm hand upon them
In the matter of atock issues as
well as rates and discrimination and
proper service. Through the Erd-
man Act the Government has taken
ia hand in the matter of prescribing
wages paid, and it seems probable
that it will increase its activities in
this respect in the future. Wages,
in fact, have gone UP enormously
in recent years, and the cost of
supplies has increased tremendously
Yet when the Eastern roads asked
the commission some months ago
for permission to increase their
freight rates, they met with a polite
refusal.
The time will certainly come when
a halt must be called to this sy5-
tenn of increasing expenditures and
decreasing revenues, and great
many disinterested students of the
problem think it has arrived now.
The railroads must pay dividends,
otherwise they will not be able to
get the capital that is necessary for
them to maintain their tracks and
equipment in proper condition and
to increase their facilities for caring
for additional business. If the
present tendency continues, the re-
suit will be cheese-paring economies
