ELlHu ROOT FOR PRESIDENT.

The action of the republican conven-
ton in New York in recommending
that the republican national committee
call a national convention at an early
date for the purpose Of adopting new
basis Of representation In future ma
tlonal conventions, and IN going on
record In favor of permitting each
state to adopt its own method Of sell
Getting delegates to national conven-
tions, demonstrated. first, that the re-
publicans of New York are willing to
make reasonable concessions In re-
Spouse to popular sentiment within
the party so long as they do not en-
croach upon the fundamental prin-
ciples of government as represented
by the republican party; and, second,
that Senator Eihu Root is the bigges
factor in shaping the policies OF the
republican party in the Empire state,
and that his prestige there, along with
his long recognized ability and bril-
liant record in public life. makes him
today the most conspicuous possibility
for the republican nomination for
president in 1916.
Senator Root has served as secre-
tary Of war and as secretary of state
in both of which positions he distin-
guished himself. showing grasp d
great national and International ques-
tions which places him on a level with
the greatest of those great statesmen
who have occupied those positions
Upon entering the senate he at once
took the rank of leadership in tina
body of strong and experienced men
and today he comes nearer embodyins
all those elements of craftsmanship
which combine to make great presi
dent than any other man in the re-
publican party. Many things may
happen In the next three years, but a
the present time the outlook Is high
ly favorable to Senator Root for tht
republican standard bearer In 1916.

THE LATEST FUSION.

Dorchester Democrat and Chronicle)
The latest fusion of the progressive
and democratic forces brings to nina
the days when the rag money men
and the greenback party courted poll
teal fellowship with the democrats
and the populists Joined with the
bourbons in opposition to the robust
sound money ideas Of the republica'
party. In some instances these COM
binations were temporarily successful
but the people, after brief experience
with confusion, decided to return to
wiser administrative and economic
methods. When Mr.. Bryan made his
spectacular and eloquent appeal Tor
free silver, he carried majority OF
the democratic party with him. But
the saner element Of the party turned
to the sound money principles OF the
republican party. History will repeat
itself, undoubtedly, and the countf..
will return to republican rule.

THE plAz CANDIDACY.

The United States officially can take
but slim comfort from the announce
ment that Felix Diaz is to be can
didate for the presidency Of Mexico.
Unless most of our information from
Mexico Is wrong and certainly some of
it is, Diaz' candidacy. in the nature of
things, is tantamount to his election,
says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Huerta we have officially and popu-
larly held guilty of the murder of Ma
dero. What part he had in the death
Of Madero no one knows definitely,
but that he was any closer to the
crime than Diaz, then in open revolt
against Madero, is doubtful. Huerta
turned traitor to Madero and that is
the reason perhaps why we can not
look at him without scowling our dis
approval.
With Diaz president, Washington
may elect to recognize his government
although in reality such government
will be on identically the same basis
as that Of Huerta. Any election in
Mexico at the present time must be
a political farce, no matter how grave
ly and with what dignity 1t is carried
out. We may be rid of Huerta per-
sonally, but Huertaism will remain
The outward forms may change as a
result Of the election, but we can not
close our reason to the fact that the
essentials in Mexico will be unchang-
ed.
II the United States recognizes Diaz
such recognition will likely have the
effect Of reviving Mexican credit. and
with more money and a greater pres
tige abroad, If not at home, Diaz may
have better luck in crushing the rebels
and brigands.
In the meantime the petition of ref
ugces from Mexico to be sent back a;
government expense adds a touch o.
the ridiculous to a situation ordinar-
lily serious. The beat it, order OF
the state department has added mt
laurels to our national diplomacy
Gamboa's offer to send Americans
home first class, rather than to le.
class, started a grin around the world
that will broaden with the reading OF
the refugees petition to be sent back,

OF duty. He frankly says that he has
made $1,000 out of his lectures and we
are to assume that he il well salts
fed with the addition Of so consider
able sum to his $4,000 salary. A
cabinet officer ought to be able to live
fairly well on slS.5O0 a year. Other
cabinet officers have had to be con-
tent with less and have not complain
ed nor resorted to circus methods to
get more money.
The circus methods OF Mr., Bryan are
apparent In the Chautauqua advertise
ments. Here Is an extract from a
Kansas paper, announcing various at
fractions for local Chautauqua:
New York City marine band.
Avon Sketch club.
English Opera quintet.
NeopOlitan Troubadours.
William Jennings Bryan.
Elliot A. Boyl.
Sears. the Taffy Man.
| Lorenzo Bwickey.
| Ed Amherst OFT.
The Oregonian is not informed as IT,
the stunts performed by all these ar
lists; but 1t is obvious that 'vaude-
vile hue is given to the happy family
group thus appearing together on the
gtasshopper circuit.
Mr.. Bryan gets $3.50 a lecture
Moreover, under his contract he lakes
the first $3.50 coming In, and the next
$3.50 goes to the association, and the
balance Is evenly divided between Mr.
Bryan and the association. What hap,
pens If the first $3.50. should not ma
terialize is perhaps not worth inquiry
since the superior attraction Of see
rotary Of state on the vaudeville stage
always produces large financial re-
suits. But there Is at least one Chau-
tauqua association in Oregon that has
been brought to realization of the
fact that Mr. Bryan insists upon the
fulflment of his contract to the last
cent. He takes no chances. A cab'-
net officer worrying along with only
$4,000 a year regular salary can not
afford to take chances.

all its methods. but nothing OF evi
dence from a man like Mulhall could
damage it. He seems to be absolutely
without one redeeming good quality.
An official bulletin issued by the
publicity agent Of the Manufacturers
association deals with him In about as
vigorous language as 1t Is possible t..
frame up in English. Here Is a sam
pie:
"Bereft of every quality Of senti-
ment, Mulhall remains unparalleled in
mendacious malice. Had he been sired
by Ananias. damned by Sapphire and
born In hell, he would dishonor his
parents and disgrace his country"

UNiONiSM At THE CANAL.
Seattle Post IntelligenceD

(Scattle POST lnteIllE6ncPTD
In the October American Magazine,
Ray Stannard Baker writes most
interesting article about Colonel Goo
thals and the work he is doing on the
Panama Canal. One of the problems
he had to meet was the labor situa-
ton. Colonel Cocktails took the posi-
ton that the canal is not private
enterprise based on profit, but gov
eminent enterprise based on service.
His position is further defed in the
article as follows

another, but to fight the jungle and the

should not be settled on basis of
conflict, upon their ability through or
ganization to injure the work, but
upon the basis of service, or their
ability to push the work. 1t Is as un-
just for a labor union to force more
than its share of wages as against un-
organized men, as II is for contract
or to snatch undue profits. Having
no secrets here and every record wide
open, we can and must settle wages,
not as matter Of conflict and truce,
but upon the basis of what each work

100000 Fertilizer
Tags Are Ordered

Atlanta, Dec. 6.-In anticipation
of the ever increasing demand fol
commercial fertilizer there has beer
ordered by the department of agri
culture fourteen million fertilizer
tags for the season of 1914.
This is sufficient tags for 400.
900 tons OF fertilizer. Of this
number 1000, 900 tags have already
been received.
According to Assistant Com.
missioner of Agriculture Dan
Hughes the demand for fertilizer
for grain crops this fall was un-
usually good and already orders
for tags are coming in in anticipa-
ton of the heavy deliveries to be
made after Christmas.
The sale of cotton seed meal TAGS
has begun, too, and this Georgia
by-product has already become one
of the foremost in the state.
With the use of the proper
amount of commercial fertilizer
next year, Georgia promises to re-
peat her wonderful crop success of
1913.
