NEW CHARTER DISCUSSION.

g UGH meetings as that held in Turn Hall on
- Monday evening are helpful in aiding the
voters TO arrive at conclusions concerning the new
charter. Many points are to be considered, the
most vital one of which is whether the new char
ter on the whole is better than the present mach.
inery of city government
The opposition as brought out by the speakers
at Monday nights meeting seems to have been
based the absence from the charter of pet ideas
held by various individuals The objection Of
many, for example, is because the charter
does not contain the initiative and referendum
provision. The division of the city into two wards
also shuts out the Socialists from any hope in the
immediate future of electing member of the city
government II there we're even more wards than
at present it would suit them. The Socialists es-
sentialy believe in partisan city government. They
would like a Socialist city government.
The idea Of the commissioners, as we take it, is
for a non-partsan city government, and therefore,
the two ideas are in conflict 1t has been suggest
ed that the initiative and referendum could be
made as an amendment TO the charter and that
should dispose of the objections Of the advocates
0i that system.
The new charter should be approached from the
point Of view of non-partsanship- whether
this or that of this that party shall or shall
not have Office.
AS the discussion develops and as meetings are
held other points will undoubtedly come to the
front and the more debate about them the better

KILLING PACE OF BUsINEss.

A WESTERN newspaper advances the novel
1 n idea that there should be government con-
troll of big business because big business is going
at too rapid prsce-killing too many OF those who
worship at its shrine.
The deaths of E. H Hartman and Edwin Haw-
ley are cited as examples of big business wearing
out the lives of men, Therefore the government
should interfere. But if the government took a
hand it might well be doubted whether the Killing
pace Of business would be halted Rather would

IF big business kills men, the simplest thing for
those in peril TO do is TO get away from 1t, and

EDITORIAL OPINION

grind the Republican party to pieces.
It is more than an acrimonious dis
pute over candidates that is in pro-
gress. The effort afoot is to drive the
so-called progressive element out Of
the Republican party and cement the
remainder into a conservative party.
Hitherto the Republican party, which
began It's career as a party of reform
and innovation, and fought even Su-
preme Court decisions when they went
against the party's creed, has sue
cessfully resisted attempts to paste
a conservative label on it. One came
pretty near sticking during days of
Mark Hanna, but Roosevelt rubbed II
off. The basis of the complaint against
President Taft has been his lack Of
sympathy with progressive ideas al
though Offering lip allegiance to them.
The history of the politics of this
country does not augur we'll for the
Republican party's future If its dis
turbing progressive elements are
driven out and the remainder becomes
harmoDiously conservative. The Fed
eralist party was conservative, but
died The Whig party found profes-
sional conservatism a poor political
asset and became the most conserya-
tive just before it's death Then the
Democratic party, defending property
in slaves, became a conservative party
and opened the way to the success of
the radical Republicans
If as result of pounding Roose-
welt into the ground and Of stigmatis-
ing those who agree with him as
trouble-makers whose room is pre-
ferred to their company, the Republi-
can party is made grandly harmo
nious it will have about as much
chance of continuing in power as had
the Adams Federalists, the Scott
Wings. or the Buchanan Democrats.
A true blue conservative party is
beautiful In theory, but IL is an organ
ization likely to be rich in generals
and colonels and captains, but weak
in privates.

NOTABLE GATHERING OF GOVERNORS.

A T THE meeting of the National Civic Fedora
L n ton TO be held in Washington next month
the governors of twenty-seven states are expected
to be present which of itself will make the ocoa-
sion remarkable.
The governors will discuss industrial peace and
progress with especial reference to the relations
between the employer and the empoye, not only
in private corporations but also in public utilities
and government, state and municipal service.
few years ago it would have been impossible to
interest so large a number of governors in a
matter concerning human rights of this kind, but
the fact that these social and industrial questions
are the ones chiefly discussed today shows the
spread Of the humanitarian and ethical view Of
life. More interests being taken today than ever
before in these questions which vitality concern
the welfare Of mankind,

ROOSEVELT.

Baltimore Evening Sun
Rooseyelts declaration that he will
accept the nomination for President II
it Is rendered him insures one OF the
most spectacular, living, thrilling
campaigns that the American people
have ever known. Not only is he the
most interesting figure in the politics
Of this country-perhaps Of any coun-
try--today. but he has in particular
genius for compelling attention. He
never loses sight of the dramatic effect
OF any pronouncement. any movement.
Thus he never lacks an audience
The contest between himself and
TAFT must necessarily be a bitterly
personal one. There we're passages in
the Columbus speech evidently aimed
at the President, and the latter came
back Immediately with a sharp state
ment obviously aimed at Roosevelt.
'rhe Colonel evidently believes, or at
least wishes the public 10 think that
be believes, that the President has be-
trayed my policies" The President
assuredly looks upon the Colonel as
an lndian-giver. The relations be-
tween them strained as they are at
present. must inevitably become more
oil 90 Ah1 NciAlib0Nos
It is useless to deny Roosevelts
popularity in his party We Eastern
ers who think our own thoughts and
live in our own narrow circle have no
comprehension Of the way he is re-
garded in those States between the
Alleghenies and the Rockies, and on
the Pacific Coast-the States where
the Republican votes come from. N
each party voter could freely express
his choice, there is no doubt in our
minds that Roosevelt would gain the
nomination by a tremendous majority
OF votes. That the Governors of seven
States-States either heavily Republi-
can OF doubtful-should openly prefer
him to the 'titular leader" of the party
is in itself very significant That the
Roosevelt people want the direct pri-
mary wherever they can get it. and
the Taft people do not, is equally sig
nifcant.
But-Taft has the organization.
That makes difference.
And that fight, as we see it, will be
productive Of good. Roosevelt and
Taft are very antagonistic types Of
men The one Is innately radical; the
other innately conservative Too many
of the Republican voters have been
feeding on the husks Of outworn doc
trines this long time past. The fathers
have not yet forgotten the Civil War
and the sons have been voting the
ticket because their fathers did. This
campaign will make them think, will
present live issues TO them, will make
each man determine whether he is a
radical or a conservative, and in con-
sequence become a more enlightened
citizen. Anything that makes the mass
Of the people take more interest in
political questions is always a good
thing.

FEDERAL ACTION AT LAWRENCE.

II HE Federal government is to act in the Law
i renee strike situation and a thorough inves-
tgation is 10 be made to ascertain whether any
Federal law was violated at Lawrence.
The authorities have probably realized by now
that they made a grave mistake in dealing with
the children of the strikers as they did. The par
ents felt that they we're within their rights when
they assured the authorities that the children were
being taken from Lawrence with their consent ex-
pressed in writing and attached to each child. To
the protests OF the parents against interference
the police paid no attention, but forciby removed
the children from the trains.
The commander of the militia it seems, was re-
sponsble for the entire performance that has
brought discredit upon the city. High handed meas
ures only make matters worse and intensity the
strikers and their friends in the belief that they
have been unfairly dealt with.

OWNERSHIP OF EXPRESS COMPANIES.

IF THE government wants to extend its activities
j. it might take over the express companies as
provided for in a bill introduced in the Senate by
Mr. Gardner of Maine. They could be operated in
conjunction with the postal service.
The measure indicates the probable cost of TAX
ing over the properties as follows Real property,
$l4,932, 100; equipment S7,58l405; materials and
supplies, Sl38,2l0; advance payments on contract,
S5,s56666 and franchises, good will etc. Sl0,S77,-
369 a total OF $39165819
The balance sheets of the companies show other
assets of nearly Sl50000000, but Senator Gardner
arg1es that they are not devoted TO express SER
vices and that the properties might be retained by
the corporation without impairing its value. One
of the obstacles, however would be the relations
between the express companies and the railroads,
but this should not be insurmountable.

THE ROOSEVELT ANNOUNCEMENT
lew York Globe.

New YORK GLOBE.
The announcement by Col. Roose-
welt of a willingness to accept a
presidential nomination introduces no
new political factor into the situation.
But the announcement throws into
stronger relief the woeful plight Of
the Republican party. 1t is plain that
the word has gone out to abuse with
out restraint or limit all those sup
porting the Roosevelt candidacy. They
are already called Populists, Social
lists, anarchists, revolutionists, and in
cendiaries. He is attacked as arch
demagogue, hysteriarch. lunatio Now
this plan of campaign, while it will
probably bring about the nomination
of Taft, will destroy Taft's chances
Of election, and incidentally probably
