Too Much of 1t

IF we are going to restore self-government to the
people, we must restore the business OF politics to the
people, and, PROFESSIONALLY, we have too much OF
politics. Too much politics is very bad, for at least
two important reasons 1t interferes seriously with
the daily avocations of people, and it confuses the
people.
Take for instance, the state of Ohio. Her people
have just been through the hot presidential primar-
les and been distracted by two national conventions
that vitality concerned her. Yet she will soon have
to nominate state officers then vote her consti-
tutional amendments, in September and then engage
in the presidential campaing and election Other
states are in somewhat similar fixpolitics, politics
all the spring, all the and most OF the fall
Self-government is a tremendous matter, but it
should be made simple matter when we consider
that it should be matter for careful study and de-
iberate action The vitality important issues are
really not so very numerous. Why not settle them
at once? Why not make it our especial business to
settle them?
AT the primaries not 35 per cent of the voters
turn out, anywhere. At the election high 90
per cent turn out The people sick of the ever
lasting round of campaigns Yet, we cannot have
successful self-government unless the people make
politics particular business. If we tire
fuse the people, the bosses will surely selfishy profit
by the business Of politics.

Lucky Panama.!

Uncle SAM having gone into the restaurant bust
ness down in Panama, is serving good, nourishing
meals for CENTS and regular banquets for 30 CENTS
hotels, and serves something like 100000 meals a
month
Travelling accustomed to American hotel SER
vice and prices, amazed at the quality quantity
and cheapness of meals at these Stars and Stripes
hostelries There's nothing at home in the states to
compare with them. And this in spite of the fact
that everything has to be transported to Panama and
kept cool in that blazing climate, while most Amer-
can hotels under better climatic conditions have
bountiful supply of food easily accessible
Talk about the cost of living! Uncle Sam has
knocked it in the head down there, where he has had
full swing, and could shake off the grip of the Amer
lean food trust and avoid the ncompetency and greed
of private management.
And IT Uncle Sam can do so well right off the bat
In the adverse conditions of the tropics, what
couldn't he do if he really got busy here at home to
make meals cheaper for everybodyg

NEW 10RK LETTER xs nsa

NEW YORK, Aug. 8-Through
the killing of Herman Rosenthal,
gambler and reprobate, by hired
assassins, the attention of the
country has been drawn to the
ease and dizziness with which a
man may be put out of the way
by his enemies in the nation s
metropolis.
In the Rosenthal case, the es-
cape of the murderers has been
laid to indifference, due to an al
legged alliance between members
of the police department and the
gambling interests.
It may be thought, outside of
New York, that such bold
crime as the killing of Herman
Rosenthal must be exceptional in
New York, and that only through
some unusual reason could the
perpetrators of such an assassi-
nation get away so easily.
Not at all. The Rosenthal
Staying had its peculiar features,
but it was only one of constant
succession of midnight assassina-
lions which mark the contempt
for human life prevalent in this
city's dark underworld.
On the night Rosenthal was
murdered, two men sat playing

checkers in a barber shop at 261
e. 10th st. Two men entered,
and one of them said to one of
the checker players, "Are you
Roeco?"
YES" he replied.
Eight shots were fired into
Rocco's body, and the two walked
out, leaving their victim dead on
the floor.
That they were hired to kill;
that they did not even know per-
conally the man they murdered
was shown by their having to ask
him his name before they killed
him. They have not been caught.
On the next evening, less than
"a hours after Rosenthal was
killed, man was walking along
the sidewalk near Second av. and
108th ST., when several others
came up to him and put 10 bull
lets into his body.
He was dead when the police
picked him up, and none of his
slayers was caught.
The Rosenthal case is getting
much publicity, but the papers
scarcely mentioned the other two
killings. They are of a type too
common to merit any extended
notice.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-The
fight made in the senate against
the confirmation as federal judge
of former Governor Richard A.
Sloan of Arizona has resulted in
temporarily. checking President
Taft's purpose. The Arizona sem
ators convinced enough of their
colleagues that Sloan's connection
with corporations and his oppo-
sition to popular government rem
der him unfit for the bench, and
thus have prevented Sloan's con-
firmation at this session. 1t is
learned, however, that 1t is the

To try and try again,
So that the summer evenings

We fill her haunts with coal oil
She thrives on kerosene;
She sails through all our MEETINGS

A number of automobile acct

through the failure of the car be-

car stops or slows down to turn

congress adjourns and then give
Sloan a re-appointment. Antiei-
pating this action, the citizens of
Arizona have prepared to put in
to operation their new law for
the advisory recall" of federal
judges. Under this unique law,
the people of Arizona may submit
the question by petition and vote
on whether they want their fell
low citizen, Sloan, to act as a fed
eral Judge. Such action, of course,
has no binding legal effect, but
as an expression of large ma
iority of the people of the state,
it would be apt to have weight
with president like Mr.. Taft.

Isn't it funny how immigration laws work2
A few days ago little 10-year-old Scotch girl
came to New York with her grandmother. She was
refused admission. The law says girls must be ac-

night, however, 1t is impossible to
see the hand signals and the acci-
dents are frequent.
The danger has b2en practically
obyiated by the invention of
small electric contrivaSce that is
fastened to the back of the
drivers glove. II consists of a
small electric light with a pow
erfuI reflector which is sewn in
to the glove. The wires lead from
the light and the battery operat-
ing it to the inside of the thumb

he holds up his hand and presses
his thumb and forefinger togeth-
or. The light flashes and the
proper signal can easily be given.
