If Cincinnati is included in Mr.. Roose-

to have him and Mr.. Longworth speak

the latter the futility of the bull moose

their influence to minimize the vicious
custom which some men have of splitting

translated into cleanup work will make
the great cause prosper.

Presidents Press Club Speech,
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
President Wilson was we'll advised in
conserving to publication of the infor-
NAL talk which he gave the Washing
ton Press Club. The country will read
with interest and new understanding
Mr.. Wilson's account of the very hu-
man embarrassments of his office. Com
PEELED to wreak himself upon his work,
to order his day rigidly, and to shut
out as many haphazard intermpters as
possible. the President has been ac-
curing the reputation of one austere
and aloof, merely a thinking machine,
a man of mystery. But in Mr. Wilson's
frank disclosure Of his Utmost thought
about all this we perceive that he is
throughout keeping his genial interest in
everything that is human, though OBJ
liged to hold it. as it were. under cover

Panama.

The President asks for the repeal of
the free tolls law on two grounds: ID
1t violates the national honor, and e, 1t
hampers him In his foreign policies.
lie does not so intend it. but ground
number one is affront to the country.
The men who framed the law did so
after consideration of the charge that
the honor of the country was involved.
They decided overwhelmingly against the
charge In their Judgment. American
coastwse shipping not only could with
honor be exempted from paying canal
tolls. but should be exempted in the
national behalf
Congress so ordered. President Taft
approved, and both the democratic party
and the bull moose party in national con-
vention Endorsed the action taken. was
not the national honor safe in those
hands, Has II ever been in safer hands
since the foundation of the government?
So far as that feature of the case is
concerned, repeal has not a leg to stand
on.
The strength Of ground number two can
not be determined by the public in the
light of the limited Information it now
Possesses. If 1t knew all that the Presi-
dent knows 1t might reverse itself in
part as he has wholly reversed himself
But 1t knows next to nothing about the
arguments and influences that led to his
change of front and now control him.
In an address. that occupied only four
minutes in the delivery. he has made
merely confession and an appeal.
That the President Is in a close place
and feels his embarrassments We may
all believe. But that very fact strength
ems the case of his opponents, democrats,
republicans and bull moosers alike. in
Congress. They fear to vote him, in
ungruds.ng measure. the powers he de-
sires. There are other foreign questions
pending and scheduled for early hand
ling. and. as his opponents reason. he
may be outmaneuvered on them as he
has been on the tolls question.
Whatever Congress may do In this mat
ter under White House pressure. it should
not on any account yield the point Of
our right to favor our coastwise shipping
passing through the Panama canal. We
have formally asserted that right, in
neither heat nor haste, under leadership
wholly worthy both as to intelligence
and character, and we should continue
to assert It until the cows come home.
AS to whether the right should be eXer-
cised in the light Of what has taken
place since 1t was formally asserted is
the real point now at issue. If the right
is reaffirmed. We can do as we please
about exercising 1t: and can repeal or
suspend the free tolls provision for any
good and sufficient reason of either in
ternational or domestic policy.

Mr.. Longworth Announces

Nicholas Longworth wants to come

moosery, with his father -in-law in the

by his services. He will continue to be
a national. and even international, figure,
instead of dropping out of sight into a
parochiaI rut He has made a place for
himself which at this time he could not
abandon without heavy loss to himself
and the public.
And congratulations to Col. Goethals
on another account. He has escaped
for time, at least-the Vaccinations Of
managing politicians. Had he gone to
New York he would have found himself
factor in political calculations, and the
object of attentions from political lead
ers. Part of the game. there is reason
to believe. was to trade upon his name
for political advantage. This is not al
legged against Mayor Mitchell. but there
was something suggestive in the fact
that no sooner was Col. Cocktails name
introduced into the police equation than
talk of him for the gubernatorial race
began. 1t was heard in both democratic
and bull moose circles.
OF all times this would be the worst
time for a man of Col. Goethals' talents
and training to enter politics. state or
national. Issues are numerous. Unrest

cheering, could show the way through

an entirely different kind acquired. He
would find restraining campaign speakers
in full flow a far more difficult job than
restraining rivers at flood tide: and the
clipping of unredeemable campaign prom
ises in his name staggering by compari-
son with clearing away the rank and
luxuriant growth of a tropical jungle.
America is very proud of Col. Cocktails;
is thankful for the services he has al
ready performed and rejoices in the fact
that he is still in health and strength
and good for other tasks. There is much
work ahead in his line; and when he Is
through at Panama-he has had long
and trying siege there-his assignments,
we may all be sure, will be to his liking
and afford him opportunity to show his
quality further in the line of his eminent
gifts.

distance of $50 miles through the malls
in ordinary crates and boxes used in

eraliZation OF the parcel post regulations
Is sure to make a considerable puncture
in the cost of living imitation. Diff
culties in shipping garden produce have
in the past kept these products rotting
on the trees or in the fields. and have
often left both the farmer and the city
consumer to the mercy Of an unscrupu-
lous middleman. 1t will be welcome to
city folks and farmers alike.

A man of gloomy manner spoke
In accents low and sad:
Il wish that I could find a joke
That really made me glad!

Mid heartless repartee.
The puncturings by cynic pen
Have little charm for me.
Il see the pictures which portray
With lines grotesque and queer
Bowlegged men in fierce array,
Whose bullying optics leer.
My sense of humor is SO small,
I feel no glad surprise;
They do not make me laugh at all.
