DR.. Hills Candidacy.

The friends Of DR.. David Jayne Hill'
who is a candidate for the republican
nomination for senator from Ne"
York, came forward at the last mo-
ment with a strong plea for him. II Is
a little too strong. 1t lacks diplomacy
and therefore lacks persuasiveness.
One admirer says of DR.. Hill: He Is
one of the very few men who could
enter the Senate chamber at Washing
ton as the representative OF the state
of New York and not appear dwarf-hke
in an inevitable comparison with his
distinguished predecessor"
While this is very complimentary to
DR.. Hill and to Mr.. Root, 1t Is very
rough on New York. Is the state SO
poorly off: Is 1t so impoverished in the
matter of men fitted for political lead
ership?
Nobody with information will deny
that Mr.. Root is an exceptional man
and public servant. His record both
in the cabinet and in the Senate testi-
hes to a great. equipment for office;
and the country without regard to
party will lose by his retirement from
the Senate.
The question Of the sort of man who
should succeed him introduces the sort
of work to be done and the value Of
experience in the assignment. If Mr..
Roots equal is not obtainable, and
republican is to be chosen. who among
that party's aspirants would best I'LL
the bill?
DR.. Hill is a scholar, an author, a
man of brains and literary ability and
has served briefly but well in a diplo-
matte post. But he has no record In
political life as an executive or as a
legislator.
Mr.. Wadsworth, still a young man,
entered politics soon after leaving
school, as Mr.~Roosevelt did, and has
had a measure of Mr.. Roosevelt's sue
cess. He knows something Of law
making. and a great deal about party
organization. Personally he is one of
the most popular young men in the
state. - -
Mr.. Calder is a business man. with
ten years experience In Congress.
where. his services. while without dis
tinctionss have been satisea tfory te his
constituents.
Mr.. Roots successor, whether repub-
lican or democrat viii have toSaddress
himself to big questions. It Is the time
of big things; and when the war closes
the American Congress will become a
buster body than it has been for many
years. Adjusting American affairs to
the new European affairs will be a
most important task.

STOPPING to Conquer.

Mr.. Roosevelt's Maryland friends are
not convinced that his letter to q re-
publican Of that state takes him out Of
the presidential equation. They expect
him to be a candidate in 1916. Their
heads are very level
When Mr.. Roosevelt declared prompt
ly upon his triumph In 1904 that he
would not stand again for the presi-
dency he was entirely sincere. 1t
was Q moment Of supreme satisfaction
to him. He was occupying the highest
office within the gift OF the people. and
by Q most impressive majority they
had Just fndorsed his course in. 1t.
He had four years more In which. to
impress his views on Legislation. So.
recalling the third term tradition, gem
orally accepted as an inhibition, he
gave the country an assurance which
moved it to general and sincere admi-
ration
Later. the tempter came. Out of
power, Mr.. Roosevelt began to sigh
for a return to power. He had tasted
Of 1t, and he liked it He was still
young, and his appetite strong.
Some of his friends who had not
Jared as they thought they should have
Jared under his successor played upon
Mr., Roosevelt's weakness. They told
him that republicanism under Mr.. Taft
had degenerated, and that only he,
Roosevelt, could restore it to its former
estate of respectability and usefulness.
As this assurance jumped with his am
pition. Mr.. Roosevelt embraced it and
acted on 1t. Swearing. he would never
run again, he ran again.
He is eager to make another race. He
and his most intimate friends are pre-
pairing the way. Nothing could be
palmer. Broad daylight is not more SO
For this reason Mr.: Roosevelt's pres
ent juggling with the matter will cause
some regret even In his own political
household 1t presents him in a disap.
pointing aspect. He IL STOPPING In an
effort to conquer. In 1913 he appeared

Boilers and Roltiug.

open threats OF boiling and rurhore
Of Intended bolting this year are grow
ing numerous in several states. II IL
reported that on the strength of suoh
threats and rumors wagers are being
laid against the elections OF Gov,
Glynn If he is nominated, and against
Roger Sullivan who has been nominate
ed. There may be some blur In this
Not that bolting is rare, for 1t ID
not. Since and including 1896 it has
been quite an industry, SO to say.
Boilers have been numerous and
some of them eminent
Large numbers of democrats bolted
the first Bryan nomination, and some
OF them bolted also the second and
third. They would not accept MIR,
Bryan on any terms. They would
have bolted him for the fourth time
If the deadlock at Baltimore two years
ago had resulted in his personal favor,
Large numbers of republicans bolted
the second nomination of Mr.. Taft. The
great majority supported Mr.. Roose-
welt, but some voted for Mr.. Wilson.
The latter would not embrace bull
moosery. and SO. in the only way to
emphasize their protest against their
the democrats.
The democratic administration is on
trial even in local contests. In New
York the democratic convention in
dorsed it. and in Illinois Mr.. Sullivan
made point Of seeing that the in
dorsement was most cordial. He felt
a personal pride in the matter. Hav-
ing helped to nominate and elect Mr..
Wilson. he must stand by his leader
and the leaders record.
Does not this commit all democrats
an both states? VIII not democrats in
Office fear at the last moment to re-
ject their party's nominees? And will
not democrats as yet unprovided for
but still seeking something from the
administration fear to tag themselves
with irregularity at this time?
If the democrats lose New York and
Illinois in November the effect will be
felt by the administration as well as
by the local organizations. Those
states are very important In the polit-
ical equation; and what is done
there in November will have effect on
the national situation in 1916.
While Gov. Glynn and Mr.. Sullivan
are very unlike as men. both are un-
der the same sort of fire. It is
charged against the governor that he
encourages bossism by using and pro-
tecting bosses, while Mr.. Sullivan Is
accused not only of that. but Of being
a boss himself. Hence the reports that
many so-called reform democrats will
reject both at the polls, notwithstand-
ing the regularity Of their nomina-
tions.

co,+.,+, his product the quantity
oonteAts. of the contents in terms
OF weight, measure or numerical count.
The amendment to the pure food law
making necessary the indication of the
quantity in food containers was passed
as one Of the closing acts of the Sixty
second Congress, and was Signed by
President Taft March 4. 1913
This amendment contained a pro-
vision. however, which made 1t impos.
sibie to apply any penalty in case Of
violation Of the law until eighteen
eighteen month period Of time has just
ended. In case of -Wolations OF the
law. penalties of fine, Imprisonment or
confiscation Of the product now apply.
The purpose Of allowing eighteen
months before penalties could operate
was to give manufacturers sufficient
time to arrange for the making of new
labels and marking packages without
Inconvenience or loss of any of the
goods manufactured at the time the
law was passed by Congress.
One interesting phase of the situa-
ton is the effect which the European
war has had on transactions of i'm
porters and the application of the pen
provided that foreign products i'm
ported prior to eighteen months after
the passage of the bill-that is, goods
imported to this country before the
present month-could not be penalized
According to Information received at
the United States bureau of chemistry,
which administers the pure food law,
many foreign manufacturers who have
failed to comply with the law to date
had counted on landing large ship

however, has caused many thousands
of dollars worth Of fancy foodstuffs,
wines, foreign ales and other products
to be held up at the ports of shipment

tity on each container. In most IN,
stances this means that the goods VIII
