THE HERAlD'S TICKET
REVILING ROOSEVELT

HLVllINU HUUSlVllI
The presidential campaign of
1912 is different from any of it's
predecessors in that the guns of
the old parties, instead Of being
directed at one another, are all
trained upon one person. That
erson is Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, the nominee of the
new Progressive party. Demo
Gratis, Republicans, Socialists,
Prohibitionists and all of them
seem to have joined in a discor-
dant chorus, the burden of
which is that the Colonel is a
bold, bad man wholly obsessed
with the idea of wanting to be a
king.
In their efforts to paint the
Colonel very black, the opposi-
ton have resorted to all the
tricks of the political trade; no
means is too unfair, no SANDER
too vile, no trick too dirty. But
in their rage to defeat the cause
of the people, they are likely to
overdo the thing; in fact they
are just now engaged in that
very delectable task.
It isn't necessary to more than
refer to the theft practiced at
the Chicago convention, where

powers back of them had decided
to kill Roosevelt off. TIL y

cause of his inability to see that
he's a catspaw. The talk that
if Roosevelt had stepped aside,
LaFollette, Hadley Or som e
other Progressive might have
been nominated, is the merest
bOsh. The cards were stacked
by the old corrupt machine with
Taft as the figurehead. No
other result was possible under
the conditions obtaining at the
national Republican convention
And after the conclave adjourn
ed, the same gang representing
the invisible government so
graphically described by Sena-
tor Beveridge in h S keynote
speech at the Progressive con-
vention, simply adjourned to
Baltimore and transacted bust
ness. In Chicago, Barnes, Pen
rose, Crane, Root and their pup
pet the unspeakable Vic Rose
water, were at the helm. At
Baltimore the same gang was in
charge, but there the visible
managers of the invisible gov.
eminent" were Murphy, Bel
mont, Ryan, Sullivan with the
suave Parker as steersman.
They started out to put Clark
over and failing in that resorted
to strategy so subtle as to
draw Bryan's fire and cause him
to revile them. Bryan appar.
emily swung the Baltimore con
vention, but the invisible gov.

Wilson is m ost estimable,
scholarly and upright man, but
does any sane person suppose
for a minute that if elected to
the presidency he can accom-
plish very much with the Tam
many milestone around his neck?
Thus the invisible govern

And after the adjournment of

TWENTY YEARS
SINCE REUNION
TIME TURNS BACKWARD AND
GRAY HAIRED SISTERS
GIRLS AGAIN.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 81
Guests in the lobby Of The Seel-
bach last night heard ripple Of
laughter and looked about, expecting
tc see merry party of school g:rls.
But instead they saw four white
haired women, arm in arm, apparent
ly Indifferent to those about them,
and lost in the joy of being with
eac other. These four women, pro-
minent in the affairs of their res
pective cities, were sisters who for
twenty years have never seen each
other, all at the same time.
They have met separately during
this period, but this was their first
general reunion. and they seemed as
happy and as care-free as if they
still were sweet sixteen.
The four sisters are Miss Mary G..
Hay, Off New York, a well-known
woman suffrage leader, and .presi-
dent of the New York State Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs; Mrs Writ
S. Humphrey, of Evanston, Ill, pro-
ninent club woman; Mrs. Henry G.
Durbin, Anderson, Ind, wifi e Of a
brother of ex-Gov. w. T. Durbin, of
Indiana; Miss Flora N. Hay, a lead
ing member Of the Kappa Kappa
Gamma Sorority and reference libra
rian of the Evanston Library.
Although they all have snow
white hair, they have lost little of
the beauty and grace which we're
theirs as debutantes. To put it in
their own words: affairs of home
and business and club life had kept
them separated long enough SO
they "just got together nd are out
for lark" They are being girls
again.

AGAINST INCREASE
OF ENGINEER PAY
GRANTING OF DEMAND WOULD
WIPE OUT THE IMMENSE
SURPLUS.

NEW YORK, July 27-W. w.
Atterbury, vice president of the
Pennsylvania railroad, was the prin-
cipal witness to-day before the Ar
filtration Commission, sitting at
Manhattan Beach to pass upon the
demands of the locomotive en-
gineers of all the Eastern railways
for increased pay. His testimony,
while it referred mainly to the Penn
sylvania lines east of Pittsburgh, of
which he is the operating head, pre-
scented the whole case of the rail-
roads so clearly that he held the at
tention of the board for the three.
hours that he was on the stand.
Mr.. Atterbury said the Pennsyl-
vania's method of arriving at basis
of pay for it's employees has been "a
constant endeavor to pay fair rate
for fair days work" He furnish
ed tables showing hours of work,
miles run and the average pay for
engineers, which last, he said, was
equal to, if not better than, that on
any competing railroads.
To grant the demands now made
by the engineers would, the witness
said, add to the operating expenses
of the railroad the sum of s911,5S0
a year, and if proportionate in
creases are made in the pay of all
other employees, the cost would be
$11,S7S,6SS, which, he declared,
would wipe out the surplus of the
Pennsylvania railroad in one year.
