These Newspaper Ballots.

Those who have noticed what a
pitiful showing Mr.. Taft is making in
the postcard balloting of the anti
Taft papers should wait until the APP
peal to Reason, the anarchist paper,
printed in Kansas, polls its subscrip-
ton list. Debs will run many thous-
ands ahead, followed BY Mcnamara,
Haywood, Gompers, LaFollette,
Roosevelt, Berger, barrow, Stubs,
Bourne and others, but Taft will be
far, far down the list if indeed he
gets any votes at all. It is quite clear
that if the president gets renomina-
ton and reelection somebody else
will have to vote besides the SUBJ
scription lists of the opposition
papers, especially when the judges
and clerks are employees of these
wapers working under orders. X.

Statesmen Learn to Dance.

jefferson City, NO., Feb. 3.-Jef
ferson City is learning to dance. MOI
since the last gathering of 'the Old
Guard" in the Governors mansion,
in 1904, when the late Judge James
D. Fox and Gov. Dockery danced the
Virginia reel together has there been
such an outburst of terpsichorean
fervor at the state capital.
At the nightly classes of a local
dancing academy the elder statesmen
and raw recruits meet upon common
ground to be instructed in the mystic
mazeS OF the dance. One of the pu.
pills is Judge A. M. Woodson of the
Supreme Court. Another is Jesse
Tolerton, State Game Warden.
Atty. Gen. Major declines to matri-
culate because, as he says, the mod
ern system of dancing is too slow for
him Gen. Major Major boasts Of the fact
that he is the champion heel and toe,
clog and soft-shoe dancer of this state
and defies Judge Woodson or any
other lawyer to meet him on the
boards.
Con Roach, who buys shoes for
fourteen pairs of feet already, does
not look with favor upon any form of
physical diversion which is likely to
increase his monthly bills but he de-
clares that if anybody gives him
dare" he will 60 in and show what
he can do.

Boston settlement worker, after an

renee textile mills, reports to the
Boston Herald that the operatives
have been forced to introduce into
this old New England town the low

existence.
But of course this cannot be true,
because the owners are highly pro-
tected by the tariff in order that they
may be able to pay American wages"

long committed to this course and
was engaged in a conspiracy to that
end exploded from Its own absurdity.
Now let us examine the events that
preceded his decision.
During those four years of his
presidency, when he was untrammel-
ed by the pledge to maintain the Nc
kinley policies, which guided him in
the first half of his term, Roosevelt
formulated and labored to establish
many of the policies now embraced
in the Progressive cause. In his de-
votion to them, he persuaded the
people to elect as his successor the
one mar he believed capable of pro-
noting them-a man whose pledge
to this work he implicitly trusted.
This accomplished, in order that
there might be not a suspicion of
interference, or even doubt on his
part, he left the country, and for
fifteen months removed himself alb
solutely from American affairs.
He returned, to find his hopes and
his faith utterly extinguished. He
fou-d those policies e%mbodying Soc
Idl anu SCOuOullC JuSliCo "ulCu u6
had inaugurated, and for which he
had won public approval, being
strangled piecemeal by the man who,
above all others, he had believed
would faithfully guard them. He
found the President supported in
congress by every servant Of special
privilege and every foe of the Roose-
welt purposes, while faithful and
efficient advocates Of those princi-
Piles were being driven from Office.

when opportunity offered, he raised
his voice again in behalf of the
cause, and gave tremendous impetus
to public support OF the sincere and
courageous P~rogressives In congress,
who were making a losing battle for
principle. Senator La Toilette, be.
cause OF his force and sincerity, had
become the most potent leader in
the fight against President Taft's
reactionary plans, and was regarded
by most P~rogressives al their logical
candidate for the nomination.

Now, we speak Of our personal
knowledge. We were present when

SINCERITY
OF ROOSEVELT

No person is closer to Theodore
Roosevelt than e. A. Van Valken-
berg, editor of the Philadelphia
North American. When Mr.. Van
~Nalkenberg writes an editorial on
rs Roosevelt Sincere?" 1t Is we'll
worth reading. We reprint 1t here
that our readers may Judge for
themselves. The editorial is as fol-
lows:
In yesterdays North American
this question was discussed upon the
evidence afforded by Theodore
Roosevelt's career and by the appli-
cation of those standards which de-
termine whether a public mans
policies are inspired by honest be-
lief or selfish p%retense.
Four effective tests were suggest
ed. 1t was pointed out that the his
torian makes the final measure of a
statesman's sincerity by examining
the extent and fidelity Of his follow
ing; that his motives may be Judged,
ers and by the controlling force
which guides his acts, and that a
consistent display of moral courage

certify.
That Roosevelt meets these tests
is conclusive to judicial minds.
Whatever differences of opinion
there may be as to his policies, his
temperament or his methods, none
but the victims Of blind malice and
prejudice accuse him Of hypocrisy.
There is, however, more direct
proof of his sincerity than that to be
reached by the processes of deduc-
ton. Three times within ten months
he has demonstrated it; twice at
least In the view Of all And
The North American, as stated yes
terday, can offer ir~refutable, person
al evidence that his w~hole-hearted,
unselfsh devotion to the cause he
represents can no more be question
ed than his power in promoting that
cause. We purpose to relate the cir.
cumstances Of these crises in his
career by which his aims we're laid
bare, and 1t will be understood that
we speak from personal knowledge
of the events described.
The first scene to be recalled Is
that Of his determination to become
a candidate for the Republican NOM
