TAFT'S TITLE CLEAR
Roosevelt the Man of 1rickery
at Chicago.
His Efforts, for His Own interests. to
Gust Delegates Regularly Chosen,
Can Not Surely Have Been
Forgotten.

It is not easy to follow the rea-
soning which interprets' as progress
sive victory-that is. a victory for the
so-called Progressive party-the &C
ton Of the New York Republicans In
declaring for a new basis OF repre-
sentation for national conventions.
The Progressives did not originate
the proposition. 1t has been In the
minds of leading Republicans for
years. Thomas C. Platt. NJ. S. Quay
and Mark Hanna all favored it. They
saw, as others did, that. with nothing
to Ufer the presidential candidate on
election day, the south had far too
much to say in the choosing OF the
candidate On that account, they
urged on more than one occasion the
reduction of southern representation
in Republican conventions; and men
who now call themselves ProgressiVes
gave them no support whatever.
That the proposition has more
strength today than formerly is due
almost wholly to the action OF the
Progressives last year in their enorts
to tamper with the south's power in
the Chicago convention in the inter
ests of Mr.. Roosevelt The seats OF
delegates regularly chosen for Mr..
Taft were contested upon the fiimsiest
pretexts, and strong influences exert
ed to substitute Roosevelt men. 1t
was an industry. financed by the
Roosevelt organization.
But it failed. 1t was so w'-so
transparently repugnant to the code
of fair dealing-that leading Roose-
welt supporters on the national com
mittee revolted. They would not have
it; and, unable to secure the south
ern vote by fraud Mr.. Roosevelt was
defeated for the Republican nomina-
ton.
Nor does the Progressive character
ization Of the southern states as
rotten boroughs" fit the case. In
times past some southern delegates to
Republican national conventions sold
their votes for spot cash. But did no
delegates from other sections-wheth'
er we consider Republican or Demo
cratic conventions-ever sell their
votes for promises Of office' And
In morals strictly considered. what is
the difference between the two trans
actions?

been at other times, she was not rot

much rotten" temptation. stood firm
for the instructions that had beer
given at the time her delegates were
regularly chosen. And this fact en-
tered into the assurance which Chair
man Root gave to Mr.. Taft in his
speech Of notification, that his title tc
the nomination was as clean as that
Of any candidate for the presidency
the Republican party had ever pre-
sented to the country.

Republican ProsressIves Fading Ava,

Last year Mr.. Roosevelt received
145.000 votes in New Jersey. This
year the two contesting candidates
for the Progressive gubernatorial
nomination received a total OF less
than 5000 votes. 1t is true that un.
der a court ruling which declared that
no participant in the Democratic or
Republican primaries last year could
this year vote the Progressive ticket,
thousands Of would-be Progressive
voters were disbarred. because last
year, before the third party was
formed, they voted as Republicans.
At the same time this fact does not
wholly account for the disappearance
of 1877 900 votes. In many precincts
in the city Of Trenton for instance,
not one Progressive vote was cast
and more than one editorial express
sion in the New Jersey newspapers is
to the effect that the fight will be be-
tween Stokes and Fielder. 1t is also
asserted that the Progressive party
is rapidly vanishing as political
factor in the state.

1t is perhaps wise to make distinc-
ton between THE educational value OF
the pictures than of THE value of edu-
cational pictures this latter is always
conceded. while the former is sometimes
questioned. If we begin by eliminating
the abuses of the picture for which in
dividuals of doubtful nature and with
more than doubtful purpose are re-
sponsible, we find that the average pic
ture and the well-conducted picture house
possess positive educational value.
A recent New York police commits
sioner than whom no one else is better
able to speak, in speaking of the fact
that the great majority of crimes were
committed by young men. advocated the
use Of well-conducted picture places.
especially on the Sabbath DAYS, for the
purpose of providing an attraction for
those to whom the churches were not at
tractiye and who could not be reached
by the ordinary means. The attractive
power of the picture has always been
one of its strongest features. Here is
the first great victory to, the credit of
the educational value of the picture, for
il has succeeded in one Of the most try
ing problems in sociology.
The next step is the class of exhibition,
and the nature of the picture. The time
has passed for unhealthy pictures, the
pictures of the future will be increasing
ly of a higher order, everybody in the
world of moving pictures is educated, or
being educated to the production to that
which will edify and not debase; as a
result, the common standard Is one
which few years ago would have been
considered very high standard.
The moving picture is prepared with a
view to the fact that 1t is expected to
give pleasure that will profitably enter

better order of things, in almost every
instance the subjects are of a superior
order; the cost of production is too great
to admit of anything but the best sub
jects and work, SO that which is of a
positive immediate, as well as of a per-
manent, future value is alone produced.

tends more and more toward an elevated

impaired a spirit of honor among its

the moving picture people themselves are
becoming jealous of their own interests.
Under such conditions the foundations
are being generally laid for the educa-
tional value of the moving picture as an
