THE RESULT IN OHIO

The failure of his own state to support
President Taft at Tuesdays election,
coming after other reverses at the pri-
maries, naturally disappoints his sup
pOrterS and elates the supporters Of
Colonel Roosevelt The loss of Ohio by
a decisive majority was not among the
thinks looked for by the Taft managers,
and six weeks ago a suggestion that it
might occur would have been received
with incredulity in every quarter.
It is said that not until ten days ago
was the possibility Of reverse seriously
Presidents campaign. Chairman Layin
Is reported as saying that there was not
time enough then left to obtain "delib-
crate popular judgment Yet the Roose-
welt campaign had been under way for
more than two months and the Roosevelt
forces were probably even better organ
lied IN Ohio than they have been in any
other state. 4 reverse for the President
is again to be attributed to circumstances
for which he was In no wise TO blame.
Mr.. Taft comes out Of the Ohio contest
with 10 loss OF personal prestige. lie
did herculean labor. assuming burdens in
the last days of the canvass which should
have been shared by others. Before the
public he stood practically alone as the
champion Of the cause of sane and order
no toll or inconvenience. He did his part
manfully and ungrudgingly, and IL is
no discredit TO him that he could not
prevail single-handed against an Opposi-
ton so skilfully managed and so lavishly
financed
But while the result in Ohio is a seri-
Gus disappointment. the Presidents cause
Is by no means lost. Indeed, those who
should be best acquainted with the facts
say that it is already won. But when
cautious deduction is made from the num-
Der Of delegates assigned to him by his
campaign managers, he Is still within
short striking distance Of control of the
national convention, and there is good
reason TO believe that the delegates
whom he will gain in the next two
weeks will give him majority, provided
all now instructed or otherwise com
mitted to him stand fast and fair
share of the contests are decided in his
favor. He will continue to fight 10 the
end for the principles which he repre-
sents. He enters cheerfully to-day upon
his speaking campaign in New Jersey.

Deadly AUTOMOBILES.

4 departure In Jurisprudence which
has found favor in Chicago might prove
equally popular If tried In TINS city
There has been series Of serious auto
mobile accidents there, which deterhiiieu
city and county officers 10 begin cru
SADIE against spceders and reckless drl'-
ers. In consequence a Judge imposed
fine of $1,000 on driver who had run
down and injured fourteen-year-olh
girl. The charge on which this man was
arraigned was assault with deadly
weapon. and the judge. In sentencing
him. agreed that the recklessly run auto
mobile was indeed q deadly weapon.
Perhaps the Judge had certain grin
sense Of humor Yet there was more
hard sense than humor In his sentence
Every community has drastic laws gov
ernng the carrying Of concealed weapons

strictly regulates the carrying Of dyna-
mite through its streets. A city unfortu-
nate enough TO have steam cars running
ut grade through It's streets enforces a
slow rate of progress for the trains. The
habitual automobile speeder In the city Is
individually as much menace to the
safety of the public as the man with the
pistol. or the contractor who has to haul
dynamite. or the moving railroad train at
grade. Nominaly. there Is regulation OF
automobile traffic by law in this city.
Actually. there is a law hOnored in the
breach. and for breaking IT speeders and
reckless drivers occasionally suffer the
insignificant annoyance Of arrest and n
small fine. II might conserve the health
and happiness Of the public here If police,

MR.. CRANES RETIREMENT.

Senator Cranes decision not 10 seek n
reelection has been generally, and no
doubt truly, attributed 10 lack OF sympa-
thy with the new order which is rapidly
establishing itself in the Senate. Mr..
Crane is one Of the few remaining links
In that body between the new and the
old. and he naturally looks back with
regret To the days when party disci-
pine was better maintained and the
necessity for party leadership was I'M
hesitatingly recognized. Although he has
sat i'm the upper branch Of Congress less
than eight years he was early admitted
TO the inner Republican councils there
and became the efficient lieutenant Of
Senators Aldrlch and Hale. then jointly
charged with the Republican leadership.
TO this task Mr. Crane brought indus
try. capacity and subtlety, and when
Messls. Hale and Aldrich retired two
years ago. weary Of the struggle TO pre-
serve the old order against the new
spirit Of insurgency and individualism
which had fared up, Mr. Crane was au-
tomatically designated TO continue their
work so far as It could be continued
. Evidently he thinks that he has been
devoting himself TO an ungrateful labor.
insurgency is growing more rampant
every year and the old traditions of the
Senate are being more and more ignored
or broken. Mr.. Crane finds such An ut
mosphere uncongenial and prefers 10
seek retirement, as Mr.. Aldrich and Mr..
Hale did, and as Mr.. Bailey Is soon
TO do.
The Massachusetts Senator will he
missed as n conciliatOr and adjuster. I'm
which role he exercised large infu-
ence on legislation. With him will de-
part almost the last conspicuous exem-
plar OF a once constant and potent Scna-
torial type.
