again reigns; that bull mooser and re.
publican are brothers once more.
In Maine determination was effected
and demonstrated. The reunited repub-
icans swept the state-took everything
in contest and walked away with 1t. Bull
moosers of the Roosevelt variety did all
they could. Old guarders Of the Smoot
variety did all they could. Both gave
every assistance in their power to those
intrusted with the management of the
campaign.
The example set was good. Will it be
copied in larger states, say in New
York, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana, where
bull moosery four years ago was great
force and operated to the hurt Of the
republicans7 Mr.. Smoot, in substance,
so urges, and is prepared to do his bit.
And in promptly noticing the story
calculated to do both him and his party
harm, Mr.. Smoot set good example,
which should be widely copied. The
roorback period of the campaign has
begun; and a roorback put out of busi-
ness in time may frustrate nine on the
eve Of Matching. And this is as good
policy for one party as for the other.

The Price of Freedom.

4 suit has been filed in New York
which may result in light being shed
upon an episode which has heretofore
been somewhat mysterious, namely, the
release from the federal prison at At
lanta of Charles W. Morse, convicted Of
banking frauds and pardoned by Presi-
dent Taft. Morse fought desperately
for his freedom, exhausting every legal
recourse to prevent conviction, but the
inexorable process of law sent him final
ly to the penitentiary. There he was
apparently stricken with a mortal dis
ease. His condition was frequently re-
ported as pitiable. An appeal to public
sympathy was made. The warm heart of
President Taft was stirred by the rep
resentation that Morse had only short
time to live. and he granted him his
freedom in order that he might end his
days at liberty. Promptly upon his re-
lease Morse began to improve, and to-
day, according to report, there is not a
healthier looking man in New York than
the erstwhile dying convict.
Now comes one Max c. Baum of New
York, claiming compensation in 100000
for his services in securing Morse's re-
lease. He alleges that he worked for
Morse during the legal fight against con-
viction and afterward, at the instigation
of Mrs. Morse, he continued his en-
deavors to elicit sympathy, first through
a fraternal organization to arouse pub
lic sympathy, and that later, by other
means, he enlisted the sympathy of Mr.
Taft. He says that Morse promised that if
he succeeded he would be made wealthy
beyond the widest dreams. All that he
actually got from Morse, upon the lat
ters release, was bouquet Of roses.

Swatting Roorbacks.

Senator Smoot is one of his party's
"ubeel horses" in the Senate and out.
In the Senate he is equally good in com
mittee work and in open debate in the
chamber. Out of the Senate he is equal
ly good as adviser and as stumper An
allaround man, who knows his business
For this reason more than ordinary in
terest was aroused the other day by the
statement that the senator was critic
Of Chairman Wilcox. and of opinion
that the republican campaign was not
being properly managed; that the re-
turned bull moosers we're being made too
much of and the "old guard" too lit
tie of.
When this was brought to Mr.. Smoot's
attention he put it to sleep with an en-
phatic contradiction, and in doing SO
said this:
II am out to elect Mr.. Hughes. He

VAN iiEl W use every means ne can 10
bring about Mr.. Hughes election, and
\ don't care who helps him. There is
rirthing in the talk, so far as am con
eerned, of dissatisfaction"
In no other spirit can the republicans
win this election. The sharpness of the
division of four years ago is well re
fnembered; and probably the Utah sen
ator remembers it as well as anybody
else Bull moosers distrusted and de
nouneed republicans, and vice versa. The
shindy was red hot while it lasted.

The Easily Obtained Pistol Again.

A young lad shot and fatally wounded
girl the other evening in this city. He
claims that the shooting was accidental
BE has nevertheless been held on q
charge of murder. In any case, the fact
stands forth distinctly that this youth
had deadly weapon in his possession
contrary to the law. He explains that
he obtained the pistol from another boy
relating complex story Of the transfer
Once before he got into trouble through
the possession Of pistol. He seems to
have had no difficulty getting guns.
But as matter of fact nobody has
the least difficulty getting guns in
Washington, under the present laws.
Anybody with murderous or suicidal
impulse can get pistol within a few
minutes. The formula for obtaining one
is merely to give name and an address
any name and address will serve.
Given the price-and the price is cheap
and the gun is to be had.
Repeated crimes and suicides have
demonstrated the dangerous laxity Of
the local laws, the utter uselessness of
the statutes as a defense against trag-
edy through pistol use. It has been
urged again and again that no matter
how many names and addresses the
dealers in deadly weapons may record
the pistol crimes and self murders con-
tinue and will continue until it becomes
an offense to sell, exchange or give away
a deadly weapon save upon the presen-
tation of a permit issued by some re-
sponsible official, before whom the
would-be purchaser must present him
self with proof of his need and his trust
worthy character.
Just why such an amendment to the
pistol law is not pressed by the authori-
ties is beyond comprehension. The ne
cessity has been apparent for years. The
matter has been specifically urged upon
official attention many times Yet no
action is taken, and session of Congress
after session has been allowed to pass
without any official effort to obtain an
enactment which would unquestionably
reduce the pistol crimes in Washington
by a large percentage. Is human life
so lightly regarded here that this mat
ter is deemed not worthy the attention
Of those in authority
