The CRY of Fraud.

Col. Roosevelt's objection to the New
York primaries as unfair because of the
non-arrival of ballots at some of the poll
ing places will not carry conviction. 1t
does not follow that those who were dis
franchised by this cause were all Roose-
Welt people. 1t is, indeed, quite conceivable
that some of those who failed to get bal
lots would have voted for Taft. Inasmuch
as in all the other precincts the Taft tide
was preponderant. it is fairly to be be-
lieved that it would have been SO in
the places where through the stupid blum
ders of the election board the ballots were
unavailable. Indeed, it is claimed that
those districts were especially strong for
the administration and that the disfran-
chisement hurt Taft more than 1t hurt
Roosevelt.
However that may be, the cry of fraud
is not especially impressive. The vehe-
mence of Col Roosevelts language as he
likens the President to Boss Tweed in
jects a deplorable note Of personal bitter
ness into the campaign, which 1t must
always be borne in mind is being carried
on between republicans and not between
parties. Such tactics cannot fail to have
bad effect, especially If they lead to
further outbursts of anger and denuncia-
ton and to an eventual Reputation Of the

Physical Rivalry.

The Olympic games do not begin in
Stockholm until June 20, three months

large city-about 10000 population. Its

all Of the seats. in a stadium which can
accommodate 5000 persons have been
sold for the whole period of the games,
which run from June % to July %. An
other stand seating 10000 persons is to
be erected, and even with that addition
the crowds are expected to be greater
than the capacity of the grounds. This
is one of many illustrations which could
be given of the great and growing inter-
est in athletic sports When interna-
tional rivalry is involved the well-nigh
universal love of physical prowess-
strength, skill. endurance. quickness and
acknowledgements much deeper and
more intense. The competition open to

Closing the English Coal Strike.

Present Indications are that the British
coal strike Will end about a week from
Monday. The house of lords has passed
the minimum wage bill, which will be
approved by the king today or tomorrow.
The question OF acceptance will be sub
mitted to the men April 4, and work. 1t
is now believed, will be resumed at the
beginning Of the week following. The
strike began on the Doth Of February, and
thus has been in progress just four
weeks 1t has cost an immense sum of
money and has brought untold distress
upon the English people. Probably no one
will ever know the, actual toll OF this
rupture between the miners and their en-
ployers In terms Of human life. Children
have undoubtedly died in large numbers
for lack Of proper food. The entire social
system of England has been disturbed.
The government has been driven to an
expedient of questionable wisdom in
adopting as a last resort short Of actual
force a measure Of intervention applying
to a single industry. The evil effects of
this device to restore peace may develop
later, for while the miners have not re-
ceived all they demand, and some Of them
regard the minimum wage bill as an un-
satisfactory adjustment. the fact that the
government has been compelled to enact
this legislation is considered by many as
an invitation to future industrial disorder.
A movement is now In progress called
'syndicalism,' inspired by a purpose to
make trouble in all tho industries. 1t is
regarded by the government with the
greatest apprehension. for 1t is believed
to signify the activity Of a new political
force. 1t is q peculiarly dangerous form
of radical socialism. The settlement of
the coal strike will not necessarily bring
peace to England. 1t will be. perhaps,
followed by q short period Of quiet. but
the syndicalizts are frank in their avowal
of a purpose to invoke trouble in other
industries later. Already within a year
England has suffered from two great
strikes, that OF the freight handlers and
this now closing OF the coal miners. Hints
are given that the next interest to be at
tackled will be the railroads, in which case
all the evils Of the coal strike will be
reproduced. in intensified form. These
recurrent strikes are merely symptoms
of the economic unbalance from which
England is today suffering.

Mr.. Roosevelt and Big Business.

The trouble with Mr.. Roosevelt's
Chicago speech is that undisputed things
said in a very solemn way. Big bust
ness should not be strangled- Granted
But who is proposing such a thing? Not
Mr. Taft. Big business should not be
permitted to strangle the government
Granted. But who is proposing that?
certainly not Mr.. Taft.
2 Big business must be regulated. So say
we all That proposition is not Mr..
Roosevelt's. 1t was advanced and put
on the statute books twenty-five years
ago. and Mr.. Roosevelt while President
invoked the law against offenders, and
took credit for what was achieved under
his direction by the Department of Jus
tice.
. But he regards the antitrust law as in
sufficient So do others So does Mr..
Taft, who advocates supplemental legis-
jatfSn. The President is no protector of
trusts. They do not love him for what
he has done to them. or now has in hand
directed against them. Nobody knows
better than Mr. Roosevelt how little Wall
street likes Mr.. Taft. BY applying to his
friend and adviser. George w. Perkins,
who knows the Wall street game thor
can get full particulars, names and rea-
sons.
A difficulty in the premises is that big
business itself shows divisions about
what should be done If Congress is to
go farther In the matter of Stacking
monopoly. There are at least two fac
tions in Wall street. and George W.
Perkins is a spokesman for one. Is he
is nominated at Chicago will Mr.. Perkins
be the voice behind the candidate In the
EATERS deliverances about trusts? And
if Mr.. Roosevelt is returned to the White
House will Mr.. Perkins be the power be-
hind the throne in shaping the trust
recommendations to Congress? The two
men think alike on the subject.
1t is a singular thing that on the two
great problems MIR. Roosevelt Is essaying
leadership he possesses no training. He
would revolutionize the judiciary branch
of the government, and yet is not a law

regulation of business, and yet has never

is confessed by lawyers that court pro-
tedures need amendment, and by business
men that some business procedures call

But the details of what should be done
are most important and most difficult In
both cases, and call for much information
and experience. Blacksmiths are not set
