ICRlTICIzES ROOTS RULING
Say. that Fundamental Issue Of
Self-Government Was
Involved

New York, July 11.--Theodore
Roosevelt further discusses the seat
ing of contested delegations in the
Republican convention at Chicago
in an editorial entitled Thou Shalt
Not Steal" which appears in the
current issue of The Outlook. In
part, he says:
"The American people are entitled
to know that the charge of stealing
the Chicago convention of 1912 is
more than campaign recrimination
and that the frauds complained OF
are much more serious than the mere
repetition of loose practices of prev
ious conventions of both parties.
Seriously and literally, President
Taft's denomination was stolen from
the American people ahd was the
critical issue whether votes or fraud
shall determine the selection OF
American Presidents. President
Taft was nominated by 21 votes, or
by 10, Ii the two from Massachu-
setts were omitted, which were only
counted by the extraordinary ruling
by Chairman Root that when dele
gate answers present and not. vot-
ing his alternate shall be called, al
ways provided that the alternate
is a Taft man and that thu delegate
is for Roosevelt. These cases cover
in their narrowest application thir-
ty votes.
Change Meant Defeat. Y
"The change of these thirty votes
would have defeated Taft. They
would have reversed all important
actions of the convention.
"The men responsible for the
theft Of the delegates cared not one
rap for the rights or wrongs OF any
of the cases. They are concerned
only with getting the required mum
ber of delegates. They did steal as
many as were needed They would
have stolen as many more as mieit

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The Bank OF
Englands official discount went UP
from three to four per cent today, as
yesterdays London cables had pre-
dicted. This had double interest IN
financial calculations. The four per
cent bank rate is exceptionally high
for the closing week of August; one
must go back to 1907 to find anything
above three per cent at this time of
the year, and the rate has not gone as
high as four during August, even in
such years of European financial dis
trrbance as 1889 and 1890 Therefore,
one question which was asked today
was whethe- underlying conditions on
the continental markets might not
perhaps be more troublesome than had
been supposed. The other matter of
doubt has to do with the failure In
London to explain the sudden raising
of the bank rate namely, the large
amount of American bills applying on
Lombard street for discount. We
shall very soon learn exactly how
much and how little of serious sig
nificance the banks decision has in
such directions. Berlin and Paris dis
count rates went up 70 today, but Lon
don private discounts rose no higher,
though they are now below the bank
rate. and our money rate made prac-
tically no response.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.--Improper
handling of eggs is responsible for an
annual loss Of the huge sum of S45,-
