SOME VOTE 'GETTER

Whether or not one favors the nom.
ination of Roosevelt on the Republi.
can ticket at Chicago, it must be
admitted that he is great vote get
ter The fact that out of 1,736 Har-
ward students 660 are for Roosevelt,
sol for Wilson and 34S for Hughes
indicates the sentiment not only of
the New England people but the SEN
timent of the country, as Harvard
is a national institution when it comes
to attendance. There are found stu
dents from every state in the union.
While this may not be strictly q
representative vote, it certainly indi-
Gates the American feeling. OF
course it must be remembered that if
these votes were taken as represen-
tative of party affiliation, it would
mean that the student vote of Har-
ward would run two to one in favor
of the Republicans. However, it is
fairer to presume that many stu
dents of Democratic affiliation vot-
ed for Roosevelt.

FURTHER ESTRANGEMENT.

There never has been too friendly
feeling between the English and the
Irish. The Irish are too proud to be
subjugated by England without feel
ing of humiliation. While in recent
years there has been developing ma
tional spirit, yet there has always
been that national hatred by the Irish
for the English, their conquerors.
The late rebellion in Ireland was
only manifestation of the feeling
in Ireland. The only reason that
more did not join the ranks of the
revolutionists was the fear of de-
feat and the punishment that would
surely follow.
The execution of the leaders of
that little rebellion will make further
estrangement between those two dis
tinct nationalities. Ireland will new
er forget. Her people in some way
or other will cherish the memories
of those who gave their lives to free
the Irish people from English rule.

While the Villa hunt may not be
war, it's regarded as something equal
ly as bad by the relatives of Ameri-
can soldiers killed.-Durango Demo-
crat. Yes indeed, and while Prefes-
sor Wilson is supposedly keeping us
out of war, the fact that more Ameri-
cans have been killed during his
three-year administration than were
killed in the Spanish-American war
combined with those killed in the sew
en-year Roosevelt regime, sounds
mighty much like a poor effort

PROGREsSIvEs ACTIVE.

Away down in old Mississippi the
lrogressives, who come largely from
the Democratic ranks, led by such
men as the once stalwart Democrat,
Colonel Parker, met in convention on
May 3 and endorsed Roosevelt for
the nomination at Chicago.
Then, too, away down in South
Carolina those Democrats, who got
tired of Democratic politics and at
the same time do not like to vote the
Republican ticket because of the men,
ories of the Civil war, held a state
convention on May and endorsed
Roosevelt for the nomination at Chi
cago.
These southern Progressives are
certain that Roosevelt will be nomin-
ated by both the Republican and Pro
gressive conventions at Chicago next
month. Just what they will do in
case some other man gets the Repub-
lican nomination is difficult to de-
termine at this time. 1t is quite
certain that Roosevelt will not be the
Progressive nominee unless he is al
so the Republican nominee at Chi
cago.

DEMOCRATS REVOLT.

The administration Philippine bill
has gone down to defeat, for the rea-
son that large number of Demo
Gratis refused to be bound by the Dem
ocratic caucus and preferred to take
whatever risk would naturally come
in boiling the party when the mat
ter came to vote in the house.
One of the chief causes of the de-
feat of the bill was the antagonism
of Jones, the author of the bill, to
the Catholic church. 1t appears that
Jones in the caucus revealed his re-
ligious animosities and by SO doing
alienated many of the Irish mem
bears. In fact, Jones went SO far
along that line that it seemed al
most inevitable that fistic en-
counter should take the place of
words.
1t vii be remembered that Garrison
and Wilson had agreed not to be in
favor of making the Philippines in
dependent in four years, but along
comes that big Democratic politician,
Clark, and pulls the wool over the
eyes of the president who then de-
scrts Garrison who in turn deserted
the Wilson cabinet. All this happen
ed during the progress of the bill and
when the time came for the final vote
about 40 Democrats were found alb
sent or voting against the Democrat.
ic bill, one of the pet measures OF
this Democratic congress.
1t win be remembered that the
United States secured the Philippine
Islands as a mater of expediency. 1t
Will also be remembered that at that
time it was the understanding that
when the Filippinos gave evidence of
being able to govern themselves,
they would be given their indepen-
dence. AS yet those people are not
ready for self government, no more
than are the Mexican people to the
south of us. Give them freedom now
and you will find them in the same
condition that the Mexican people
have been in for q number Of years.

He shows that Maderc resigned and
that Huerta became president of Mex
CO three days before Madero was
killed. 1t was just twelve days af-
ter Huerta became president and nine
days otter Madero was murdered that
Taft's administration expired. In
the meantime Taft had demanded
promptly of Huerta that the lives of
the 10000 Americans in Mexico be
protected. Huerta at once furnished
these guarantees of the rights If
American citizens in Mexico.
Then Mr.. Wilson became president
and, altho all other nations of the
world recognized the constitutional
right of Huerta as president of Mexi-
co, he refused to treat with Huerta
and finally with the U. S. navy and
army drove him from Mexico, how
ever, before he saluted the American
flag. Since that time this country
has just been playing with the Mex
ican affairs.
Mr.. Knox is not a man of much
talking, but he is man of much

Mexican situation better than he, ans
few, If any understand the business
of government better than he. Ger.

Tungsten in La Platas.

Tungsten exists in the La Platas
and the camp promises to attract its
quota of prospectors securing the
hills for the black metal. Eight years
ago, lead carrying ore was uncover.
ed by Fl. l.. Vanendert, a mining man
who operated in that territory for
eighteen years. Anticipating the day
the value of the metal for manufac-
turing purposes would be recognized,
he covered the ore and marked the
spot. About the time the price of
tungsten began to soar, snow COM
menced falling in the La Platas. For
months winter has held the camp In
its grasp, and prospecting has been
at a standstill. Unwilling 10 wait
longer, Mr.. Vanendert came down
from Trout lake yesterday outfitted
with skis and other equipment neces-
sary to make his way over the snow
capped mountains to the point where
the ore is located. He plans to un-
cover the ore and remove a sufG-
cient amount for a satisfactory as

A BITTER CONTRAST"

From London Daily Mail: The con-
trast between Great Britain and
France is bitter indeed. In France
the whole nation is organized on busi-
ness line. The able bodied and those
who could best be spared have been
taken from the fighting line, where
they are serving gloriously without
the slightest thought of self. The
less fit remain to carry out the NUM-
ton works and the industry of the
country. There has been no trouble
with the 'dilution of labor" there
have been no strikes; there have been
no shifts and shams, half measures
and make-believe. The country has
arisen to the emergency because the
French government has been worthy
of its trust. But here in Great Brit
ain political pretenses are still trium-
umphant. The politicians in power are
more concerned with votes than with
victory. They have never dared to tell
the people the truth, they have never
given it the great lead. To maintain
the Pigment of voluntary service they
have crippled the army and incurred
defeat after defeat. By their timid-
ity, half-heartedness, indecision and
inaction they have endangered the
cause for which we fight. They have
never moved until they were pushed
from behind, and when they were
moved, their internal disagreements
have nullified their measures.
