Name Your Proof, Senator!

Senator Cummins of Iowa, hitherto
counted as Taft adherent, is preparing
to support Roosevelt, "if he can do so
without leaving the Republican party" :"
The Senator will make public his po-
sition when he returns to Iowa upon
the adjournment of Congress. Just
now he is silent on the matter, and
this information has accidentally leaked
out. 1t is stated that Senator Cummins
has read the evidence in the cases of
the contested delegates to the Chicago
convention, and has become convinced
that the Presidents denomination was
not according to the rules.
Always rsckoned as a Progressive,
the step TO Roosevelt was. easy, but
the difficulty has been that the Iowa
Senator has not wanted to leave the
party. 1t is said that he has told
Roosevelt that he will work for him
and for Roosevelt electors, if Roose-
welt will accept his support on the
terms outlined.
We do not pretend to eriticise the
Senator for the step contemplated.
Every man is entitled to his conviction
and to act accordingly. But he makes
a very broad and sweeping assertion
when he imputes fraud on the part Of
the entire body Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, which decided in ia
vor of Mr.. Taft and against Mr.. Roose-
welt The Iowa Senator will have to
be prepared to show conclusive proof
of his assertion
His alleged declaration would mean
great deal If proven, it would at
once turn the tide of a great many,
who believe in Mr. Taft, from him
and drive them either into the Wilson
or the Roosevelt camp.
OF one thing we are absolutely, con-
WINGED. Mr.. Taft would neither have
wanted, nor accepted, nomination by
"fraud"-for this, in short, is what Mr..
Cummins is said to allege-even if the
National Committee had been corrupt
enough to use SHARP practice"

the attitude of Senator

States troops beyond the American terri
tory without an act of Congress
The authorities hold they are in duty
bound to take precautions for the protec-
ton of American life and property in
foreign countries whenever they appear
to be jeopardized. This has been done
repeatedly in Central American countries
and force Of marines and soldiers have
been stationed in China for several
months, cooperating with the troops of
European powers in protecting foreign
interests and in keeping open the rail-
road line from Pekin to the sea. None
of these movements have ever been re-
garded as constituting an act Of war. In
1909 Zelaya, then President of Nicaragua,
was hostile toward the United States, was
opposed to the entry of American troops

it. In the present instance. however.
President Diaz and the government au-

An Occult Lesson.

The safe arrival at Liverpool of the
Allan liner Corsican is an obvious IL
lustration of the merits of the reforms
suggested by Senator Smiths investiga-
ton committee of the Titanic tragedy,
namely, the need for greater precaution
at sea in thick weather and the fitting
of ships with bulkheads that were both
watertight and workable.
The Corsican rammed an iceberg off
Bell Isle, in the Newfoundland waters,
August II. and after an investigation
of the damage sustained she proceeded
on her voyage across the Atlantic On
August II she arrived safely at her des-
tination, and we learn from the cap
tain's report of the accident that owing
to the hazy weather on August II the
ship was moving on her course at
dead slow" So ably was the liner
handled and so we'll did the collision
bulkhead work that the ship practically
made no water aft of the bulkhead,
and the only persons on the ship who
were disturbed on the voyage were the
members of the crew who bunked for
ward
If the Titanic rule of full speed had
been in force on the Corsican, and if
her safety appliances had been as use
less as the bulkheads on the great
White Star ship the year 1912 might
have had two great marine disasters in
stead of one to its record. The log OF
the Corsican's voyage is an irrefutablc
lesson that safety at sea ought to be
of far greater consideration than speed.

Total Number of Voters.

Even with the admission of the two
new States of Arizona and New Mex
leo, the appearance of women for the
first time as voters in California and
Washington State, and the advent OF
an army of FIRST voters, total vote of
100000 for President next fall would
be very large in the light of past rec
ords. The estimate of the Census Bu-
resu puts the new male voters at $780,

ing to the census, was 6a.o47,7I4 in
1890, 7s,ooA7I4 in 1900, and oI,o77,a66
in 1910. While the population between
1900 and 1910 increased I5.o77.6oI, or
n per cent, the number of actual voters
from 1900 to 1908 increased only 1885,
463. or less than 10 per cent. in eight
years. In 1890 more than one person
voted for President to every FIVE of
population; in 1903 less than one person
voted to every six >of population, al
though the total vote was over ooo.ooo

tial election.
The Census Bureau has counted all
persons of voting age, without regard
to other considerations. Allowance must
be made for aliens and others who are
disqualified from voting. Of the re-
mainder a considerable proportion will
fail to register. Besides, in wintry
weather large number of registered
voters always neglect to cast their bal
