.THE BASIS OF INDUSTRY

L.. t- -- E Aristocratic England is much excit- ed over the recent refusal of MT. Mo Kenna, home secretary, to furnish protection for strike breakers in the absence of violence
 The question of the governments s duty was raised in parliament and Mr. McKenna replied as follows: It is recognized by the House that it is the duty of the government to preserve the peace, and to take all necessary steps to preserve peace, but when action is taken of kind which ! is known to be prOvocativevopposi tion cries of .Oh!" and labor cheers) it is too much to ask that the police shall be imported from outside in or der to prepare the way for this provo- cative action. Opposition cries of
 What provocative action") In this instance it was not the case of pros teeting men who would ordinarily be engaged at work at Purfeet, but it was case of protecting men who had excellent opportunities for work at Newport, but were brought in specially as strikebreakers. If as I have stated. these men had carried on their work, and actual disorder had arisen, government to assist in every way in it's power to restore order. But it is not and cannot be, the duty of any government to assist employers in ac- tions which are primarily intended Opposition cries of "oh! !')-intended in many cases, do not necessarily say in this case, to provoke disorder. (Op- position cries of "No, no.') I will give a case in point. In London at the present time a great deal of work is going on in the docks in unloading ships. and there has been practically no disorder. The men have behaved with great restraint, although they was a great hardship upon them that in their struggle they should be de
 teated by the action of the metropoll- tan police Nevertheless they have
 done nothing to provoke disorder. But ] if you bring into this dispute new element, and instead of taking on
 l men from shore in the ordinary way,
 you bring in ship specially designed

 without unnecessary provocation, to

 methods should be pursued in other
 districts.

If it is true that 150 delegates are willing to depart in the physical sense, it means that Roosevelt would prob ably poll great majority of the. Re- publican vote in ten or 15 States He certainly would do so in California and Pennsylvania.
 The attitude of Governor Johnson and Leader Flinn may be accepted as proof. Men are jealous for their own power. Johnson, the head of the Re- publican party in California would not be willing, and even, anxious, to go into a physical bolt, unless he was certain that Republicans at home would support him.
 Finn would cling as anxiously te his new found power, and his attitude is conclusive as to his belief in the temper of the folks back home." Roosevelt as new party candidate will be formidable.

"FALSEHOOD,' CRIES Taft
REv|VES ANAN|AS CLUB
Says He Did Not Declare People
Were Unfit For Self
Government

WASHINGTON, Feb 24.-Presldent
Taft today revived the Ananias cldp
of his predecessor TO deny and brand
as a falsehood" the assertions which
he said were being assiduously Cir
culated that in his Lincoln day speech
at New York, he had declared that
the people were not fit for selI'Gov-
ernment."
A statement embodying the presi-
dents views on the matter was issued
at the White House today. 1t was as
follows:
Among the falsehoods that are
now being assiduously circulated by
persons and papers opposed to the
president, is one that In his Lincoln
day speech, the president argued
That the people are not fitted tor
self government President Taft 5ai0
nothing upon that occasion which pos
sibly could be tortured into any suc3
construction.
The speech in which the president
made reference to popular govern
ment was delivered at the banquet OF
the State Bar association, New York,
on the night of Jan. 20. What he thcu
said on rhis subject-and II was cor
rectly quoted In the newspapers or
the following day-was this:
Popular government we all be
lieve in. There are those OF us who
do not believe that ali peoples are
fitted for popular government. The
TACT Is we know they are not. Some
OF us do not dare to say so. but do
and the question whether people is
fitted for self-government SO as tC
make the government for that people
is determined by the ability of the
majority of that people to place upon
itself the restraint by which the min
ority shall receive justice from the
majority. 1t is the question of SELF
imposed restraint that determines
whether a people is At to govern IL

than enough aldermen have signifed.
their intention TO vote for reconsidera-

though the vote would be practically
unanimous. and many OF the aldermen
are OF the opinion that this will end
the matter. In other words, they are
expecting that Cottington will not at
tempt to press the matter further.
Among the aldermen who voted for
the transfer and now say they will
vote to reconsider are Aid. Gilman.
Lynch, Keating, Hindle, Walsh and
Merritt. Aid. Lynch Is himself n ss-

was sent out, give an explanation, Sat
urday morning, when the six other
similar cases against the company
We're set for hearing, as to the man
ner OF coallng and heating the cars.
Mr.. Barker said that the cars were
heated with the Peter Smith stove,
and that 10 men were employed at
night in the Jefferson car barns to
keep the fires going in the cars on
the different lines running out from
there. He said 1t was his duty to see
that the fires were going in the car
stoves before sending the cars out on
the road. In the case of the Grand
Riyer-ave car, which was fireless,
Mr.. Barker admitted that he let it
leave the barns without inspecting II.
He was busy at the time and trusted
to the crew informing him as TO the
temperature of the car, he said. He
learned of It's condition after 1t had
made one complete "Trip and .immedi-
ately brought IL into the barns.
William G.. Williamson, sanitary
engineer for the Board of Health,
testified that he and Inspector Clark
ell made tests of the temperature in
Crosstown cars, Feb. IA. He said
that one car, No. 1873. showed tenn
perature of only 36 degrees, nine de-
grces less than the minimum requir-
ed by the city ordinance. The tenn
perature on this occasion on the out
side was 20 degrees above zero.
Similar conditions were found on
Crosstown car No. l04, Mr.. William
son said He told the court that each
car had fire. but he declared that
ii was impossible for the company to
properly heat the side-door cars with
the stove located at the end. He de-
clared that the cars were better
heated when the electricity was nsed
for this purpose.
