The Man Who Wrecked 1t

Mr.. Roosevelt, who has genius for be-
ing wrong, was again quite in error when
he ascribed the wreck of the Republican
party to the men who "in the Republican
convention of June last by deliberate
political theft wrenched the control of
the party from the people, made it the
party of reacti On and gave it into the
absolute control of the bosses.
The Republican party was not wrecked
in June. 1912. 1t was wrecked in June,
1908 Theodore Roosevelt is the man
who wrecked it.
The Republicans in 1908 diG not want
to nominate Mr.. Taft for President, but
Mr.. Roosevelt, by the power of the feder-
al machine, forced the nomination. Had
the national convention been left to it
self 1T would have named Governor
Hughes or somebody like him; the coun-
try would have had Republican Presi-
dent instead of a proxy President, and
the Republican party would still be united
under progressive leadership.
What took place at Chicago in June,
1912, was the logical consequence of
what took place at Chicago inJ une, 1908.
The party has been wrecked by Mr..
Roosevelt policy personal government
and he is still urging the country to
adopt the same kind of government that
smashed the Republican party.-New

Trustworthyness of Modern
Business

Retail trade has undergone great
change within comparatively few years.
The general spirit of old-fashioned trade
was that of the horse jockey. There
were the goods, you could look them
over all you wanted to, just as youcould
feel the horses spavins and look at his
teeth. But it was up to you to find the
defects.
The modern merchant looks at himself
as practically a supply agent for the
public. 1t is not for his interest to give
them any goods that they will not like,
because, if he does, he loses his clients
he is then anxious to describe his goods
to the last detail so that his customers
may know just what they want,
Conseq lently he uses the newspaper
advertisement regularly, as business
agent uses daily or weekly report to
his client or superiors. The man who
makes the most complete reports, giving
details with the most sincerity and in
teliigence, is the man who gets the trade
Also, people who overlook these regu-
lar reports that their purchasing agents
make in the newspaper advertisements
are in the position of a client, who does
not watch W at his agent is doing for
him, and who does not follow market

Curiosity Without Enthusiasm.

When Frank P. Morse was manag-
ems Titanic memorial last summer he
visited New York for the purpose OF
getting newspaper editors to run edt'
torials praising the undertaking.
Whenever Morse gets on a job of this
sort he has a double barreled fit of i'll"
ness, the two ailments which try to
destroy him being enthusiasm and
loquacity. He blew into the Office OF
one editor and showed out this broad
side:
Now, look here, colonel, this is a
great and noble proposition. We want
you to run an editorial saying that it
should be crowned with success. In
brief, the women of this country are
asked to contribute half million dol
lars to build a great memorial arch
to the heroic men who died on the IL
tanic to save the women and children.
They died noble deaths. This is
noble thing. Will you help us?"
The editor, who was rather on In
years and fond of smoking cigars, blew
out a puff of smoke, looked at Morse
in a bored manner, and asked:
where did you say these fellows
died?"
Whereupon Mr.. Morse, talking to
himself in hurried manner and cur
sing the promptness with which Amer.
leans forget heroism and the time to
pay money, flung his quivering form
into a Pullman car and made his es'

English country houses are, to my

same time the most comfortable places
imaginable. In my Indian sketches l
have already paid tribute to the won
derful hospitality of the Briton, and
should like to mention it gratefully
again. At home we are apt to think
a guest must be everlastingly amused;
he is worn to death with the occupa-

ed by his host. There is nothing of
this kind in England. Unless there
is something special on foot, such as
a shoot, each guest is absolutely his
own master. The whole house and
home of the hosts is in the fullest

Although there was no further open

a hat that suited him, one exactly like
the hat he had on. They proceeded
downtown in comparative silence

How Vermont Feels About 1t

Public sentiment of Vermont. as reflect
ed by the newspapers, is against the
wanton extravaganza of paying sweepers
and pages in the State House four dollars
a day for seven days in he week, whether
those employees work or not. And why
shouldn't public sentiment be against it?
Ask any individual member of the pres
ent legislature, who voted for that ex-
travagance, whether he would do the
same were he personally paying the bills,
and you would be rather sure of receiving
a negative reply-no, they wouldn't pay
four dollars a day, seven days a week,
work or no work, when they could get
the same work done for hal the price at
least. Therefore. is impossible to justify
the act when they are voting money out
of the state treasury for this purpose
