ciples of constitutional government.1 In nothing that he did or sald-'did he show any weakness on fundamental questions, or any disloyalty to his party or its doctrine. And the only man today about whom Republicans can raliy is the President of the United States. He will necessarily play an important role in any reorganlatlzon that may be attempted. He could hardly evade the responsibility, even if he would. Mr. Taft has more than once proved his unselfishness. His bitterest enemies can not truthfully accuse him of ambition. He would at. any time gladly sacrifice himself for the sake of his party or his country. So there can ho no question of his entire disinterestedness. The party is fortunate in having such a leader. That it will gladly accert his leadership we do not

than to build tip and strengthen the party so as to make it a useful factor ill the life of the nation. We believe
that President Taft has the confidence
of all classes of Republicans as he never had it before. He has earned It by the brave fight which he made for Republican principles.

The fact that the Erie yards are located so near the rosstng of the principal streets of the t it- is responsible for at least one half of the train movements at this point. The railroad officials might just as well recognize the fact now that anv solution of the yards problem that does not eliminate the present Erie yards will be only a makeshift and will afford but temporary relief.

MR. BETTS INDIGNANT. New York Committeeman C. H. i etts is in quite a frame of mind over the results of the late election. He does not view the situation with any philosophic equanimity. He is dead fore. It will be remembered that Mr. Hetts was the only up-State committeeman who stood for Roosevelt against Vice-President Sherman for chairman of the Republican State convention at Saratoga two years ago. ltetts is also author of a book entitled "The Betts and Roosevelt Letters," which is a textbook upon the perfidy of the creator of the Ananias Club. The telegram follows: "ol. Theodore Roosevelt, Oyster P,ay, L. I.. N. Y. Permit me to congratulate yo on accomplishing your desire to be'ome tho Benedict Arnold ct the Republican party. P.y jour party treason you have turned tho control of the nation over to Wilson and freo trade, and tho State of New York over to Murphy and Tammany Hall. Watch the rlFlng wrath of the people, whf n they begin to feel the effects of your damnable and lastardly politiial crime. CHARLES H. BETTS.
WANTS IT QUICKLY. The New York World created something of a sensation yesterday by pouring hot editorial shot Into the ranks of those members of its party who are trying to prevent an extra session. It says: "Only by an extra session can the
new Congress begin work in less than thirteen months. Such delay would be Intolerable. "Practically every question now pressing for settlement has been under consideration for years. The will of the people has been expressed more than once. There can be no doubt of It. If those who have received the latest popular mandate are not prepared to act on the th of March next, they never will be prepared to act. "Rights withheld are refused.
Justice delayed Is denied. Action deferred may be abandoned. The assurance most needed by business at this time Is that the Democrats at Washington will be prompt, that they will be bold and that they will be
efficient."

ABOI'T all of us have to look forward to now is a week's turkey croquettes and hash toward the latter part of the month.
TWO Kansas City women are in the courts because one of them called the other a peroxide bronco-pacer. Honest, what is a peroxide bronco-pacer?
WHEN the legislature meets this winter the democrats will have everything their own way and there won't lie any blaming of republicans this trip.
EDITORIAL T0BASC0. We used to think that when those two Gary bantams, the Post and th? Tribune, started scrapping that the retorts polite were on the frontier etyle. But here is a gem from "The FoolKiller" a North Carolina publication that should have the leather medal. The fighting editor writes: "I have just received through the mail another fat wad of blasphemy from that miserable, low-down, devilinspired, sin-soaked, brainless, graceless and Godless hangout calling itself 'The House of Gowrle,' in Chicago. "I gave that hellish outfit a round roasting severul months ago for advertising a book that slandered every decent woman on earth, and If they want another dose. I'm their doctor. "This present pile of printed rot is worse, If possible, than the first one. The postmaster had to fumigate my
box In the pof-toffice, after that roll of rancid rot had been poked in it.
THE KEPUELICAN LEADER. The election that retires President Taft to private life also constitutes him the laeder of the Republican party. He deserves the honor, which we are sure will be no barren one says the Indianapolis News. It is not a question of second or third place though the President, is second in
finch great states as New York andj Ohio. For the leader must be found 1n the ranks of the party he can not come from another party. The Republican party must be led by a Republican. Mr. Taft's claim to the leadership can not be disputed, or even questioned. We are not now thinking of the nomination four years hence. That may be left to take care of itself. What the Republicans have to think of is the immediate problem. During the campaign Mr. Taft Etood steadfastly for Republicanism.
More than that, he upheld the prin-
before other people could stand it to i
call for their mail. When the stuff entered the door of The Fool-Killer
office the lady clerk fainted, the ink soured, the press started backwards.
AND NOW IT IS A GOLDEN DUCK. When Charles Reade died he left a library of scrapbooks made of newspaper clippings about crime, strange incidents, queer trials and the like. "There's where I get my plots," he used to say. The writers of today are not above his practice but they do not take onehundredth part of the advantages a superior press gives them. For one moving incident that Read -used to gloat over there are hundreds now. Still, the wise novelist takes his goods where he finds them.

TS there anyone who would like to put on tiie nlove with us and stand & few rounds battling at Armageddon? Anyhow one ray of consolation that Brother Willutn Taft has Is that he don't have to hold T. R-'s hat on March 4th. IT is an axiom as old as the hills that the best mathematician on earth can't make a political ring look square to the people. LOOKS as If your Uncle Joe Cannon got fired out of congress with a boom that could be heard clear 'round the world. ADVANC12 announcements received of a new book to be entitled, "Why I Am Not in the Swim." It is from the facile pen of Martin Gill of Gary, Dyer and Glen Park.
