It appears that Chairman Lee of the Republican state committee was an undertaker before he got into politics. And it seems from the way Republican affairs are going that his old business hand has not lost its cunning.

Roosevelt, when he speaks in Indiana in the fall, doubtless will utter tlhe same old things that some people think he believes. But as the Pittsburg Post says, he is a rank Cannonite. He prates of the people; he serves the special interests. His ''deeds arid his preachments collide. Later, wflien party warmth increases, he will utter a panegyric over Aldrich, fall on Taft’s neck, and for a time uplift will be kept in the attic.

Mr. Beveridge has made another call upon Roosevelt. A dispatch says that “Senator Beveridge told the newspaper men tihat lie had just run in from Indiana for a few hours and was going hack right away.” This is misinformtaion. Mr. Beveridge did not run iri to Oyster Bay from Indiana. He is rarely in Indiana. Sometimes he runs into the state "for a few hours” and t3ren gpes

“back right away,” but it is never theother way about. He may be a legal, but he is scarcely an actual, resident of the, state.

(leorge P>. Cox, Republican boss of Ohio, makes affidavit.that Senator Hurt on. another Republican boss, is a liar and hypocrite, or words to that effect. Cox also swears that Burton said to him Xick Longworth came from a snobbish family and was a snob himself. Other affidavits from other Republican leaders about eadh other are yet to follow. So it seems that the Ohio brand of harmony is much the same as that in use among Indiana Republicans.

Tile “tariff, commission” proposition that the Republicans are trying to think they can agree on is such a transparent fraud that no one will be deceived by it unless he wants to be. The commission is intended to find “tactT' whidh will justify the robbery of the people through high tariffs. It is also intended to delay as long as possible any real tariff reform. To pay the present expenses of the men who are to do these things the last session of congress appropriated $250,000 of the people’s money. This was done in spite of the protests of the Democrats.

The Chicago Tribune prints an interesting item about one of the leading business men of that city. Samuel \Y. Allerton, at tihe age of eighty-two, has relinquished his allegiance to the Republican party, and has become a Democrat. The antagonism of the veteran ranchman, packer, banker and capitalist (has been aroused against the Republican party on account of what he terms its tendency toward paternalism and meddling. Mr. Allertbri has a controlling'interest in the Chicago stockyards, and in the years past lias been a heavy contributor to the Republican campaign. It is evident that he has given serious Wrought to his course, as men do not lightly change their partv allegiance at the age of 82.

‘‘His (Watson’s) apparent determination to keep out of (headquarters, and his statemnet in reply to Fish that he will “take blow for blow,” if necessary, ami that as much as he would regret to indulge in personalities, he will do so if the attack continues, makes it appear as a certainty to tihe Republican workers generally that the former candidate for governor and the present candidate for L’nited States Senator are not going to pull together in the present contest,” says the Indiana correspondent to the Cincinati Enquirer. And so it does. But then Watson thinks tiliat Beveridge did not support him two years ago, and Beveridge thinks Watson is not supporting him now —all of which lays a very proper foundation for a finish fight.

President Taft and,a party of friends, courtiers, retainers, golfstick bearers and so on have been having 'tpiite a fine time on ojie of the “president's yatchs.” Now it happens that the president’s yatchs are government vessels that the people of the United States bought and paid for out of their own pockets. These same people also pay for the good things with which the vessels are equipped. • Two vessels pf the navy department, the Mayflower and the Sylph, are maintained for the private pleasure and convenience of Lite president of the United States. For the last five years of the Roosevelt administration tflre cost of maintaining these two vessels, and the Dolphin. wlqch is treated as the private yatch of the secretary of the tiavv, was nearly 51.500. 000. -
