The official count in Ohio adds two more to the number of Roosevelt delegates in that state, making the delegates stand 3ffor Roosevelt to 8 for Taft. These two delegates are Thomas P. Downey and E. J. Gugler, who were elected by slight majorities. There has been, no change in • the democratic standing in Ohio, Harmpn holding- 31 to Wilson’s 11.

The New Jersey primaries for the selection of delegates to the

rauonal conventions was held yesterday. . The republican line-up of delegates :o date gives Taft 452 delegates: Roosevelt 409: LaFollette 36: Cummins 10; uninstructed '.13. On the democratic side: Clark 325; Wilson 202; Harmon 46: Underwood 83: Marshall 30; uninstructed 183. The agony for the r-publicans will soon be over, their Convention da:e being June 18.”'

Another Defense of the Registration Law.

As the registration law is becoming better understood and its ultimate results more closely observed it recalls to mind that trite saying: “No rogue e’er felt the halter draw With good opinion of the law.” Honest men. • decent men. Christian. upright and fair-minded citizen; favor the sanctity of the ballot ard the purity of elections. They advocate the right or every legal voter to hav>- his vpte honestly counted, regardless of the expense, ij' fair.y distributed and economically administered. The thug, the bum and those disreputables who desire to sell their vote oppose the law. The corrupt political grafter who desires to debauch the ballot box for personal gain that he may. as the result of this chicanery dive down deep into the public treasury to buy his fellow men as he would steers, and colonize repeaters in our large cities and herds of foreigners that can neither read, write or speak I a word of our language and are I only taught to vote the ticket that J has the picture of a bird on it, also , oppose the la w. I This lattfer class are raising the I cry of “expense” and “let well 'enough alone.” They raised the same ! howl when the present Australian j ballot system was advocated. j There are occasionally newspapers. happily to the. credit of the profession they are few and far j between, which join in this “let i well enough alone” and “enormous !expense” cry—newspapers whose influence is mere merchandise, whose political principle is located in the money drawer; newspapers of the chameleon species that change their color in compliance with chosen sur- , roundings, which if upon a democratic platform give out the color —the color only—of that party and if sighting an alluring bait shift to and assume another color; newspapers that oppose all reforms because reforms are always in the iiterest of good and against evil. From the beginning of our country's existence to the present day all social and political advancement and reforms have met with resistance from the corrupt, unholy and dishonest beneficiaries. In our nation’s struggle for independence the Tory sympathizers [ and sharers in England’s loot, cried I "Oh. the expense,” and “let . well enough alone.” The advocates and beneficiaries of human slavery in 1861-5 yelled “let us alone, think of the expense.” The republican senators drawing 1 salaries of $7,500 a year and $1,200 | for' some member of their family

as secretary and 20 Cents a mile going to and from their homes, when asked to do justice to the old soldier and give him a paltry dollar-a-day. responded "O; no, no, the pension laws are good enougn as they are, let good enough alone” and so on down to the present day.

All reforms are more or less expensive but are always wortn their cost . and all reforms are opposed by corrupt participants of the spoils wrung from the people through fraud and ballot box debauchery. —Carroll Country Citizen.

CONTROLLED BY STEEL

REPUBLICAN PARTY IS IN AN ANOMALOUS POSITION. When It Prosecutes the Harvester Trust, Which Is Closely Affiliated With the Giant Corporation, It in Effect Prosecutes Itself.

When a Republican administration prosecutes the Harvester trust it in effect prosecutes the Republican party., for the Harvester trust is.closely affiliated with the Steel trust and the Steel trust is the mainspring of the party. Iron and steel gained control of tire Republican party in the days of Abraham Lincoln and their grip on the organization has been growing tighter ever since. Nelson W. Aldrich once said that wool was the keystone of the tariff arch, but that is true only to the extent that -wool is supposed to keep in line for protection various agricultural states which naturally are opposed to the system. There never would have been any bribe of this kind in the case of the farmers if iron and steel had not used it to safeguard their own position.

The Steel trust Is not only the great est beneficiary of the Republican tar iff. but it is the most Impressive example of the Republican policy of pampering combinations in restraint of trade. It is a good deal more than the greatest of trusts. Its creators and owners control to a great extent the railroads and the banking Institutions of the country. The Harvester trust is one of its satellites. It was organized by George W. Perkins, late of J. P. Morgan & Co.. tVho Is still one of its directors. Up to this time it has been, like the Steel trust, one of the good trusts, because its Republicanism was never questioned. ,

We can hardly believe that this proceeding will have important results aside from the publicity that possibly may ensue. The terrorism of the Steel trust extends through every ramification of Republicanism from coast to coast. It is the Steel trust that has made Republican presidents, controlled Republican congresses, and fattened Republican corruption funds. Every loyal Republican in the Union is as reluctant to lay violent hands upon the Steel trust as he would be to commit a personal assault upon the national Reuiffilican committee.

As there would have been no prosecution of the Harvester monopoly If Messrs. Taft and Roosevelt had not quarreled, we may be sure that If the Republican party remains in power not much will be heard of the case after the differences of these two men shall have been settled in one way or another. The true way to punish the steel combination and its progeny Is to punish its political representatives, the Republican party. This can be accomplished only by a Democratic president and congress intent upon removing the extortion from our tariff laws. The most powerful of Republican presidents have not ventured to attack the Steel trust and its subsidiaries. We therefore cannot regard very seriously a movement against them by the weakest of Republican presidents.

Senate Has Done Nothing This Season

The senate has done practically nothing this session. The senate Republicans have drifted along. There Is neither party organization nor party spirit among them. A group has been busy playing politics. They have done something to help the president in his struggle for delegates. Nearly all the Republicans have been thus engaged in their respective states. They have given virtually no attention to legislation, outside of local measures. On the other hand the Democrats are diligently and aggressively working out their program. Before the session adjourns it promises to be definite and comprehensive. They have been less diverted by the presidential campaigning. While there is divergence of view within the Democratic party, there has been general cd-operation, whenever the call was made for a forward movement. And this co-operation has been all the more effective because it has swept along insurgent support in the house and, "hen the period-comes for voting upon important measures, will probably command such support in the senate.

1 am greatly pleased with the platform of the Pennsylvania Republican party#—Colonel Roosevelt at Baltimore. Including, of cqurse, the tariff plank, which is standpatism and guarantees’ special interests among the Pennsylvania manufacturers “a reasonable profit.”

The people did not elect Mr. Taft president. Theodore did It. At least he says he did. And who dares deny the truth of what Theodore Bays?

COME BACK TO THE TARIFF

All Artificial Prices of Which the People Complain Are Found to Center There. One fact, one that every man of practical sense can grasp, was very clearly set forth in the speech of a prominent Democratic leader at' the Reform club:No doubt there are many reasons why modern business has been organ ized on lines of wide combination. No doubt, too, there are many causes, natural as well as artificial, which lie underneath the rise in prices, but, however economists may argue this matter, or whatever general laws and tendencies they may disclose, we have only to read the testimony taken at trials instituted by the government or iniestigations instituted by congress; we have only to ?Ig a little way into the tariff schedules themselves and get experts to explain to us the real significance of here a phrase and there a fraction, to see the whole business laid baki and bare before Us by which systematic advantage has been taken of the tariff to raise prices •Without awaiting the assistance of economic laws, and without regarding either justice or the rights of the public The tariff is the mother of artificial prices because it is the fostermother of monopoly, and only when these roots of the whole evil thing are touched shall we begin to get control of the forces which have all but mastered- us.” '

To paraphrase the word of the illustrious French statesman, Leon Gambetta: 'The tariff, that is the enemy”’ And it is an enemy that every man with a veteran get at. —New York Times.

CAN SHOW A CLEAN RECORD

Democratic Representatives Have Done Their Duty to Their Constituents and Party. The one issue on which a Democratic house was elected in 1910 was the high cost of living and the downward revision of the tariff. Chairman I’nderwood of the committee on ways and means Is fully justified In claiming credit for his party for having fulfilled its pledges so far as lay in its power. . . The tariff bills passed during the extra session of congress last year came to naught through the vetoes of Mr. Taft. During the present session lhe house has passed the wool bill, ti»t? sugar bill, the metals bill and the chemical bill, and not of them has yet been favorably acted upon in the senate or even brought to a vote. The failure of tariff revision since the 1910 elections does not rest with the Democratic house. The responsibility for failure belongs to the senate and the president, both Republican. Never at any time has the Democratic party been more united on the tariff issue than it is today. It has been true to Its promises and to the needs and demands of the country. No other issue of the day is of greater interest and importance to the people than lower taxes on the necessaries of life at a period when prices are excessive and artificially stimulated by the system of high protection. The tariff Is still in politics, in spite of the optimistic plans of Mr. Taft and because of his veto policy, and in the coming election, on their record in the house, the Democrats ■have all the advantage of position.

Blame Rest on Roosevelt.

The chickens do certainly come home to roost, in national as well as in individual affairs. But for Mr. Roosevelt’s spoliation of Panama, but for the shock that he gave to Spanish American confidence in our integrity, there would be no such fanatical jealousy and suspicion on the part of Mexico as we see today and there would be no doubt of our ultimate motives, whatever we might think it necessary to do. A European warship might today land troops iih Mexico with less danger of a conflagration than was caused by the dozen American soldiers who carelessly strolled across the bridge at El Paso. American interests of incalculable magnitude are now at stake in Mexico and the burden of our responsibility for those Interests has been rendered doubly grievous by the action of Mr. Roosevelt, who first committed an act of piracy in the name of the American people and then boasted of it before the world.

Roosevelt Didn’t Permit Suit.

Former Attorney-General Bonaparte now explains that he “had forgotten the existence” of the letter from President Roosevelt directing him “not to file the suit (against the Harvester trust) until I hear from you.” And he adds: “I did after receiving it just exactly what I would have done if I hadn’t received it —that is to say, I completed the departmental inquiry and then reported to the president that I thought the suit should be brought.” But the suit against the Harvester trust was not filed- Mr. Roosevelt did not permit it.

Made Friends of Mammon.

The Roosevelt policy was to distinguish between “good trusts” and “bad trusts” and to make sure of the political and financial support for his administration of the-good trusts, including especially thbse “far-reaching Morgan interests generally.” Need anybody be surprised that those interests, acting through George W. Perkins, are now seeking to make Theodore Roosevelt president of the United States once more? It could not well be otherwise.

Don’t be too sure of your first old biddy that makes e noise like a sitter. Butter color should be added to the cream before churning is commenced. One of the prime causes of roup in poultry is close, stuffy roosting quarters. A quart of cream weighs about 2.1 pounds, and a quart of milk 215 rounds. The period of time between the hatching of tlfe chick and its first feed is critical. Don’t get a big flock of hens till you can manage a small one to good advantage. Quack grass is a perennial and the roots must be cut off under the surface, to kill. ~'V‘e at bran and Mnseed-meal make the best combination to give to a freshening cow. the pim P in & chicks.

In changing feed with the herd, remember it is necessary to make the change gradually. Winter dairying will never be over°ne - least no one has noticed any indications of it. The consumer is paying as much for four quarts of good milk as he is for one pound of butter. ith plenty of moisture in the ground this promises to be a good seasen for early gardens at least.
