 The egotsts Of the past have been content to swell with pride and use large terms in contemplation of their past achievements It has remained for Theo dore Roosevelt to discover an entirely area for the exercise of vanity and seltadultatiOn and to in Hate himself to bursting he cOntemplates his fu ture.
 Four years ago the unsuitable hunger of Theodore Roosevelt for office led him to organize bolt from the Republican party order that he might be nom mated for President For fear the purely personal side O, the movement he 1t might be missed by the careless or the minimizing. he emphasized. in famous declaration his conviction that the great cause for which the Progressive party stood could only be furthered by supporting ME" That seemed the last subimty Of impertnence. but he had some thing yet in store Today he lectures nation Of ooOoOOOO people warning its citizens that days are upon us comparable only to those Of Washington and Lincoln that t is for them to grapDle with present problems in the spirit of who upheld the hands of Washington and Lincoln and that therefore "it would be a mistake to nominate unless the coun try has in it's mood something Of the heroic"
 The effrontery of the office seeker can go no further-aways presupposlng that Theodore Roosevelt has now exhausted his own possibilities In view Of the greatness Of the in the past who have stood in the breach of hours of national peril with no thought Of self no desire except to save the State no emotion except one Of gadness that, come what might to them was given the opportunity to lay their all on the altar of their countrys service.

A FOURTH DIMENSION or IMPUDENcE

In view ot the fact that a good many newspaper presumably representing good many hundreds O thousands of readers-appear disposed to take serious y the idea of Theodore Roosevelts candidacy for h' Presidency it is worth while to turn back to tho statement that Col Roosevelt sent to The New YOrs Evening Man during his recent tour. He said;
 It would be mistake to nominate me unless the country has in it's mood some thing Of the heroic-unless 1t feels not only devotion to ideals. but the purpose measurably to realize these ideals in ac- ton.
 This is one Of those rare times which come only at long intervals in a nations history. where the action taken deter mines the bias of the life of the genera tions that follow. Such times were those rom 1776 to 1SSs in the days of Wash ington. and from 1858 ,o 1865, in the days Of Lincoln
 It is for us today to grapple with the tremendous national and international problems of our own hour in the spirit and with the ability shown by those who upheld the hands Of Washington and Lin- con. Whether we do or do not accom- pllsh this fact will largely depend on the action taken at the Republican and Pro rressive national conventions in June

taken In each local Of the four unions
simultaneously. These locals are NJ rail-
road division points for the most part.
Taking the our unions together. the
number OF these locals where the bal
loting Is now going on runs UP into the
thousands.
The ballots are being handed to the
men personally by the chairman OF each
local, who Is responsible for seeing that
they are sent back properly filled out to
the committees headquarters in Chicago.

New Method EmpisyeA.
In taking the vote q new method has
been adopted, which has excited great
interest among railroad managers. The
oalldt IL In reality a slip ttadho 70 a
statement of the proposals and this each
man Is required to sign. This slip goes
on TO STATE that tho signer has read the
proposals and that he authorizes the
chief executives and authorized com-
mittees OF the o brotherhoods TO
speak and act for me as my agent or at
torney upon all questions that may arise
In connection with negotiations between
the officers OF railway companies and or
g~anizations necessary to a favorable
settlement of the articles submitted
with the understanding that this is not
to be regarded as a constitutions strike

the submission OF the proposition TO the
officers Of the company with which I am
employed"
The committee which is now receiving
these ballots In Chicago is headed by
Peter killdufY OF the engineers union
Each Of the fou unions is represented
on II. In addition the BALLOT Ii marked
as having been approved by the four
grand chiefs OF the organizations in
volved.
As in previous controversies the pro-
posed new schedules contain WHIST Is
known as a saving clause" This says
that any rates OF pay now In effect that
happen to I've higher or any rules or
condition that are more favorable shall
not be modified or affected by any settle

posals. As to what is preferable, the
general committee representing the en-
ployees on each railroad is TO determine.
Nothing in the settlement that may DO

m!tted articles is to be construed to de-
prive the employees of any railroad

accepting any rules that may be agreed

As TO just how the > leaders ex-
pect to serve these demands OF the rail-
ruads, whether simultaneously on all or
by groups. has not as vet been dis
closed. 1t Is expected that It will be
done by groups The Eastern roads are
expecting to get theirs first, as this has
usually been the custom.
THE U asked President Carter O!
the railroad iremen, who is said to
have been the chief instigator In the
present movement. II he would discuss
The proposed demands and also whether.
II they should be made on the rail-
roads, he and his associates would con-
sent to arbitration. President Carter
said, however. that II WAS too early to
talk, at least until the mon had shown
how they stood on the question.

The representatives of the unions have
commended and are prepared to contend
in the present case that while earnings
Of some brskemen, for example, may
seem large in comparison with factory
and other labor, account should be taken
Of their expenses when on the road.
As to the contention that the roads can
not pay the proposed increases this Is
what Fitzpatrick says
THE claim that high wage increases
and reduction In working hours will I'M
poverish the railroads of the country is
spurious. The greater distribution OF
wealth does not create poverty, nor does
1t retard production or consumption. II
Is the very foundation for greater oppor-
tunities for the many poor people to ac-
quire the reasonable comforts of life and
does not permit a few to prosper and
wax tat on the poverty OF the many.
During a collective wage movement
In 1910 the employees on a certain rail-
road asked for Increases amounting to
$780, 900 annually. The president Of
the ompan who was q broad minded,
liberal man. was willing TO grant the in
crease. but was very doubtful whether
the earnings Of the roa could stand the
burden. The employees persisted. how
ever. assuring him that the gross earn
iugs of the road would increase $4,000
900 annually II the increase were
granted. and ne finally conceded their
demands. II was pleasing TO note that
the next annual report showed an in
crease Of several million dollars In the
gross earnings. The people purchase
and consume more as their conditions
improve and the railroads transport &C
c~ordlngly."
Although the referendum now going
on Is the biggest thing ever attempted by
labor, covering as IL does the entire
country, the Ia Dor leaders profess to have
10 doubt that It will be accomplished
and the ballots all counted by March /.

As to the effect of the proposed eight
hour and time and a half rule on freight
runs here for Instance IL an example
taken from the New Haven: One OF
the fixed runs on this road is from May
brook to New Haven. a distance OF l33
miles. about the average long freight
run on a railroad. \ train makes this
run usually under normal conditions in
from eleven to twelve hours. II costs
the New Haven for the engineer and
bremen TO make this run on tho present
basis, $3.50. Under the new rule this
would be increased to $144O. AN IN
crease OF 81 per cent. II this run were
TO be cut the expense to the road would
be double In tho freight service on
this road overtime nov run from 10 to
% per cent, OF the psyrolls. depending
upon the amount OF business. Just now
II Is up to the latter figure.
Some OF the labor leaders have In
sisted that the aim In the eight hour
day movement Is to obtain more time at
homo for the men. They explain that
the proposed jump in the overtime rate
is Intended to p~enalize the railroads,
for making men work longer hours. so
heavily that they will be forced to re-
arrange their runs and let The men on
