The Contests" and Decency.

From Chicago Record Herald
As an independent and unprejudiced
newspaper, The Record. Herald is free
to state that it has not apologized, and
would not condone or apologize, for a
single unfair or raw" decision of the
Republican national committee. Had
there been any "strong. arm" work, any
steam roller" tactics, The Record.
Herald would have been among the first
to warn and protest in the name Of po-
litical morality as well as mere party
expediency. What are the facts, what
is the plain TRUTH
OF the thirty-four contested seats
passed on by the national committee up
to Monday evening only four presented
the appearance of merit to the ''Roose-
yelt members" In all the other cases
the decisions were unanimous. In the
four doubtful cases Committeeman
Rogers of Wisconsin, La Toilette
supporter, stated the weight of evidence
to have been on the Taft side. In the
ninth Alabama district contest Com.
mitteeman Lyon of Texas, q Roosevelt
stalwart, voted with the majority.
A decent regard for ordinary honesty
should have restrained even violent
partisans from yelling murder, theft
and fraud, from denouncing crimes
never even threatened, from indulging
in threats and bluster apropos of a
steam roller" that no one had vet seen,
heard or smelled. Yet we read of petit
tions to committeeman begging or warn
ing them not to continue" to do-what? ?
We read of decisions to "bolt" if the
committee persists in-what2 In rem
dering unanimous decisions, or in Civ
ing honest judgment in accordance
with the weight of the evidence2
The Record. Herald is booming no
candidacy of it's own. 1t stands for
justice, truth and honor in the present
situation. It is bound to state that the
Republican national committee up to
this date has discharged its obligations
impartially and honorablv.
Give the committee fair play.

Tho Old Mark ct Basket.
From the New York World |

i
The expense of delivery of articles of
food by the dealer to the consumer are
an important consideration in the cost
of living If the State Food Investi.
eating Committee can throw any clear
light on the subject or hold out any
hope of relief it will perform an i'm
portant service.
Whether it is due to the growth of
competition among dealers for custom
ers' favor or habits Of extravaganza
and lack Of energy among housewives,
the old. fashioned market basket has
practically been banished from use.
The telephone may hsye something to
do with it; it is so easy to call up the
butcher. the baker, the grocer, and give
orders for the days supplies. And If
the butcher and the grocer deliver the
goods. naturally they put the actual ex-
pense and something more in the bill.
Still there is always one remedy, and
no good reason why it should not be
tried in practice. III the dealer finds
the cost of delivery high and the con
sumer finds it still higher, why not
compromise by establishing q lower
scale of prices for those who carry their
own parcels homer If women will
travel long distan ces to bargain sales,
why will they not save their odd pen
pies at the grocer's by the expenditure
of little physical effertf Have the re.
tail dealers ever considered the matter
seriously, or have they found an oppor-
tunity for increased profit in studying
the ease and convenience Of their Gus
toners and fixing their prices so high
As more than to cover all the trouble
they take to please2

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-04-29

When president appoints a
politician postmasteE general, and
then begins to lose his grip, he
knows what to expect. Taft is ex-
pecting it.
Our own opinion is that as a
president, Taft is afne golf play
er, and as a candidate, Roosevelt
is fine annexer of campaign CON
tributions, and that they both
talk too much with their faces.
The polls open at 6 a. m. to-
morrow in Massachusetts. The
result will not be known until
Wednesday probably because of
the complicated ballots, which
look as if they had been patterned
after the Illinois ones.

kindly to the proof offered. A pros pector who endeavored to get back. ing to develop some find unless he could show patent would have a hard time of it.
 That the land office under it's pre- sent chiefs Is set on this rule, how ever, is shown in another case in the Detroit mining district in this state. Here testimony was offered before the federal register and receiv- CT and which convinced them that a claim taken by the Ibex Mining com pany should be patented. It was shown that there were many mineral indications on the surface, the same as those Of other near by mines, that were paying productions. and that a mining company that had developed other properties were willing to in- vest @ large sum to develop the claim. The local officers held:
 We think from this showing that there can be no question that the land is mineral in character and that there is a valid discovery of mineral in the rock in place. There was tes- timony from several of the witnesses that the mineral showing was suifi- cient to justify prudent man in de- yeloping the claim with a reasonable expectation of finding a valuable mine.
 This decision was reversed, how ever, by Assistant Commissioner $. V. Proudfit, of the general land office, one of the men intrusted with the reform of that bureau after Secre- tary Ballinger left the department of the interior and Secretary Fisher came in. He held that the proponder- ance of evidence showed that an insuf- ficient amount of mineral of value had been discovered. Of this ruling the Salt Lake Tribune, an authority on mining matters says:
 It is a most extraordinary change from the statutory and practical rules that have guided the department in the past in issuing mining patents. It throws the whole matter into uncer- tainty and makes the issue of a pat ent depend not on any established fact or series oi facts, but on satisfying the opinion of someone who may not be honest and intelligent. IL would be quite impossible under this ruling for a prospector without much money to even get a patent on a mine, for he would probably be unable to convince the desk man in Washington that he had a mine with the development which he might be able to make.
 It is also declared that the land off, fee is putting obstacles in the way of mining companies obtaining property near their claims necessary for the erection of necessary works. and that forest rangers unnecessarily interfere in the matter of the roads and the stringing Of wires. These things un- doubtedly will cut figure in the com ing election, for there is strong resent ment among the mining men and other westerners of wealth of the at. titude Of Secretary Fisher.

Fifteen Million peOpIe
 Will Vote For President

That more than 15 million persons in the United States will record their votes for president in the campaign of the present year is evident from the official statistics of presidential votes published in the Statistical ab- stract of the United States, which has just been issued by the bureau of statistics. department of commerce and labor. Prior to 1888 no govern mental official record of the votes cast for president existed, but an act pass ed by congress on February 9. 1887, made it the duty of the executive of each state to report to the secretary of each state the name of the electors and the number of votes given or cast for each person voted for, and these reports made to the secretary of the state in 1888 and in each subse- quent presidential election, form the basis of the official record Of the pre- sideDtial elections in the United States. This record which has been published for several years in the sta, tistical abstract Of the United States suggests that the total number oi EOltS Cd5L III tue IicS4NtAllei G4CN- ton of this year exceed for the first time l. millions. The total number in 1908 was l4,sS7 900; in 1900. 13,965. 900 in 1892, I2.044,00O and in 1888. ll,3Sl,- 900. Dividing the vote thus official ly recorded into the population nam ed by official counts or estimates for the average population of each vote cast as follows: in 1908, 5.98 persons for each vote cast; in 1904, 6.10; in 1900, 5.44; in 1896, 5.l0;. 1892, $40 and in 1888, 5.27. The statements published in the abstract show the vote cast in each state for the various candidates in each presidential cleo tion from 1888 to 1908, and the cleo toral vote by principle political parties state by state. during the same per iod
 The above statement showing the official record of presidential cleo tions during the last quarter of a cen tury. illustrates the variety of inter- esting and official information presen- ted by the statistical abstract issued
