TAFTs TITLE CLEAR
Roosevelt the Man OF Trickery
al Chicago.
His Efforts, for His Own interests, to
Gust Delegates Regularly Chosen,
Can Not Surely Have Been
Forgotten.

Il is not easy to follow the rea-
soning which interprets as a progress
sive victory-that is. victory for the
so-called Progressive party-the nc
ton OF the New York Republicans In
declaring for a new basis OF repre-
sentatlon for national conventions.
The Progressives did not originate
the proposition. II has been In the
minds Of leading Republicans for
years. Thomas G. Plat, M. s. Quay
and Mark Hanna all favored It. They
saw, as others did. that. with nothing
to offer 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 efforts
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 we're contested upon the flimsiest
pretexts, and strong influences exert
ed to substitute Roosevelt men. 1t
was an industry, financed by the
Roosevelt organization.
But 1t failed. 1t was so "raw"-so
Transparency repugnant to the code
of fair dealing-that leading Roose-
welt supporters on the national COM
mlttee 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" At 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?
Rotten" as the south may have
been at other times, she was not rot
ten" at Chicago last year, but, against
much rotten" temptation, stood firm
for the instructions that had been
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 to
the nomination was as clean as that
of any candidate for the presidency
the Republican party had ever pre-
scented to the country.

Is found in conspicuous place. as.

Electrical Rat Trap.

New Lenox. Ill. A wooden box with
an incline cover is placed beside a
deep tin can with perpendicular sides.
At the end OF the cover Is u hinged
platform held In place over the can by
springs. says the Popular Electricity.
This platform is connected by a cop

circuit OF an induction coil. and two
dry batteries are located inside the
box. A small hook to which bait Is
fastened is attached In front of the
platform. The only way In which the

Is by way OF running up the incline
cover and onto the platform. which is

NEW ELECTRIC BARBER POLE
BY Day II RevoIves and by Night II Is

1t Is said that the striped barber

when every barber was supposed to
be a surgeon. In days Of old. when
knights were bold. cuts. Commissions,
bruises and wounds we're not at all
infrequent Then 1t was part OF the
BARRIERS business to dress wounds.
The striped pole served to guide the
unfortunate one to the nearest bar
ber-surgeon. Whether or not this skill
in surgery helped when the razor
slipped Is not stated In history.
Only recently has the barber pole
been electrified. BY day It revolves
and by night 1t Is illuminated by a
small electric lamp. The electric or
revolving barber pole has for a mid
die section glass cylinder that Is
two feet or more in height by about
eight inches in diameter. this section
being supported on an ornamental
base or on stout brass rod rising
from the sidewalk The glass section
Of the pole is surmounted by an or.
namental cap.

is another cylinder made of a thin,
lightweight, translucent material up
on which are painted the traditional

shaken off when II reached to the

Last year Mr. Roosevelt received

year the two contesting candidates
for the Progressive gubernatorial
nomination received a total of less
than 5000 votes. II 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
