LAUGHTER AND CURSES.

Samuel Untermyer, attorney for business interests
that are fighting the Standard Oil Company told Mr..
Taft, with bluntness, that the great corupng COM
binaton is laughing at the decree Of dissolution of the
Supreme Court and laughing at Taft.
The cause for laughter is not far to seek. 1t feels
secure in the benevolent attitude of the United States
Senate. 1t feels security in the kindly assistance
from the bosses in the two old parties.
What it can do has been recorded in the Penrose-
Archbod chapters Penrose investigated Standard
Oil; Archbod read and approved the report then
sent Penrose $25, 900 check.
The Senate stands as the barrier between the
rights of the people and the power of governmental
control and the depredations and corruption Of the
Standard Oil trust The Progressives have the only
program for the curbing of the trust and other in
fluences that have throttled free government.
No other evidence of the far-reaching and cor
receive power of the Progressive program is needed
than the uncontrolled hatred of Roosevelt and
flung at him by the Standard Oil leaders.

that all the world should be ap-
prised of the fact.

And he Is still young man. There

BY the way, 1t IL not amiss here to
recall the first little Job that Grant
performed as secretary to the or
ganization. 1t was In 1909. The In
ternational Esperanto Congress was
looking for a place to hold its next
annual meeting. Grant went after
1t. 1t was IN session at Montreal,
Canada. He spent $50 of the Cham
ber's money in railroad fare, hotel
bills. cigars, and other diplomatic es-
sentials. He got the congress. He
got more than this. DR.. Edwin c.
Reed, international secretary of the
congress. made Washington his per-
manent home and practically the in
ternational headquarters of the So
ciety. This also led to the estab-
lishment here of the official journal
of the society.
Grant argues that the meeting Of
the congress. the permanent good
citizen, and the newspaper are worth
great deal more to Washington
than the paltry $50 that he spent in
the initial effort.

THAT INDIANA FLOP.

Taft newspapers have given liberal space to the
reputed loss Roosevelt has sustained in Indiana by
Enos Porter, who was "a Roosevelt delegate to the
Chicago Republican convention announcing he SIS
through with the Roosevelt crowd" and being ap-
pointed member Of the Taft State executive com,
mttee.
Porter is through with the Roosevelt crowd in
Indiana, sure enough. The Roosevelt crowd kicked
him out as a political scalawag.
When the delegates chosen for the Repub-
lican national convention, the sixth Indiana district
was for Roosevelt. 1t not even contested by the
Taft forces. Porter wanted to 60 as national dele
gate, but there was doubt among many Roosevelt
men as to his loyalty. He protested, and went so
far to sign written pledge to support Roosevelt
throughout the convention if he were elected dele
gate. He was elected.
He then broke every promise he had made, and
violated his written pledge. He voted with the Taft
forces, or refused to vote at ALL at the Republican
national convention. When he came home he was
ootracized politically by all politicians who believe
man in public life should at least keep his word
He promptly rewarded for his treachery
and deliberate deception by being made member
OF the Taft executive committee of Indiana. He
couldn't be elected dog pelter in his own district.
Such is the political character of the man whose
support Of Taft is being advertised throughout the
East as a great asset

u. S. SENATORS FOR $1,000.

Among the many letters Mr.. Hearst has taken
French leave to print there is one in the current
number of Hearsts Magazine which ought to interest
the Clapp committee when it resumes its search into
ancient campaign funds.

Pennsylvania, acted as scout for the Standard Oil
Company, wrote in 1908 to John D. Archbold telling

Industries for Washington. He wants
the conventions for the ready money
that they always leave in town. He
wants small industries to give en-
ployment TO the thousands Of young
men and women that arrive at the
bread-winning age every year. All
this host OF people cannot fnd en-
ployment in the Government depart
ments. Most Of these positions are
recruited from the States, anyway.
Employment for Washington people
who must work is coming to be
quite a problem, according to the
views OF the Chamber Of Commerce.
Value of Conventions.
Secretary Grant figures out the
financial value of a convention to a

he argues that a convention that
brings only one hundred people to
town for one or two days is worth
going after. A delegate to any sort

THE CHILDREN'S ERA.

Against the prediction based on race suicide
statistics, that $50 years hence babies will entirely
60 out of fashion be opposed the statement made
at the hygenic congress- that about 55,Oo000o births
registered every year throughout the world and
that the death rate is slowly but surely going down.
Nearly quarter of these 55,00oOo0 infants die in
their first year, but experiment. especially with diet,
has proved that fully half of these deaths are pre-
ventabe. To make this prevention reality is one
of the growing purposes Of all the civilized nations.
Prophylaxis now attends the child at its birth and
follows it up to the time leaves school; in
cases it continues with it into the workshop. But the
main thing is the increasing attention which science
is giving the young. 1t knocks high kite the pre-
dicton of future sadly lacking in children In fact,
it presages that this and the next century two is to
be pre-eminently the childrens era.
