New Hampshire
The insurgent movement, or in other words, the movement toward political freedom within the Repuhlcan party, baa attracted much more attenUon In other statea than It haa In New Hampshire, but nowhere else la there going on at .the present moment a sharper conflict for control. The progressive wing of the Republican party haa put forward as Its candidate a decidedly young man, Robert Baas, who in spite of his youth has been three times in the state legislature, and once In the state senate, and whose ability and Independence have made him the recognised leader of the anti-machine Republicans. It waa under bis leadership that the direct primary law waa put through last year. It having previously been submitted to Governor Hughes, who said It was one of the best he had seen. Mr. Bass haa been outspoken In his present platform. Everybody knows where he stands on railroad rates, express' rates, employers' liability, and other matters now Interesting the more Intelligent voters, and especially on the question of whether the railroads of the state should continue to have their property valued at less than fifty per cent, while the property of an ordinary farmer la valued on a basis of seventy-five per cent When Mr. Bass was asked, aa a matter of political strategy, by the railroad candidate who opposes blm whether he would favor publishing his 'campaign expenses after election, he replied that he favored publicity not only after the election, but also before It, and not only after the primaries, but also before them. Who Is opposing the progressive element in New Hampshire? The same old crowd that dies hard. The Boston and Maine is fighting politically today as doggedly as It ever fought in the history of New Hampshire. At one time there was some uncertainty about what the best policy this year would be. It was settled, however, on -the day that Jacob Galllnger. United Statea senator, arrived In hia home state. There waa then put forward at once, aa the stand-pat railroad and machine candidate, Bertram Ellis, speaker of the house, president of the senate and chairman of the appropriations committee, at a time when those offlces were held only with the approval of the Boston and Maine. Ben Kimball, president of the Concord and Montreal railroad, came back to New Hampshire at the same time as Galllnger, and Ellis has alwaya been closely associated with Kimball, who' la the commanding general In the field for all the railroad forces. Floyd, the last railroad governor of the state hat also come out openly for Ellis. Those who do not understand politics from the inside tmay receive a flash of light from a recent incident. A man named Hamblett is an attorney for the Boston and Maine and one of their chief political lieutenants. Not long ago he went into a public telephone booth in the state house and called up President Tuttle of the Boston and Maine, and boasted that he and his crowd had the reformers "licked" on a tax bill in which the railroad waa Interested. Two country members happened to be aittlng outside the booth. These gentlemen had not believed fully the current talk about business and politics, and they were so horrified by this personal experience that they at once went to a notary public and testlfled to the conversation. Hamblett is for Ellis. Among the conspicuous ornaments of the old Cannon machine in Washington Is Congressman Sulloway of New Hampshire. The progressive republicans have put forward in opposition to him Sherman E. Burroughs, of Manchester, a' lawyer who haa been in the reform organization since it started, in Winston Churchill's campaign of 1896. and who Is now standing on4 an outspoken anti-Cannon platform. . Aiso"" mere Is to be a hard light over the make-up of the state senate and of the governor'a council. In other words, the lines are drawn up for a severe battle, and September 6 will decide whether or not New Hampshire in the Immediate future Is to be in the grip, of the Galllnger machine. It is generally believed that If Bass Is beaten at the primaries the democrats will carry the election, a result which the railroads and machine would prefer to progressive Republican control. Editorial in Collier's for August 27.
On the Job
One of the great reasons for the rapid material progress of the United States is that foremost qualification on the part of most , American men , of always being on the Job. . Perry Becker, district agent for tbe International Harvester Company, waa one of the painfully injured in the terrible automobile accident, Wednesday. Propped against a tree he told in detail to a reporter of the Palladium what he knew about the affair. Then he entered into conversation with a southern Wayne county land owner, asking him about a new farm that had been purchased recently. The landowner volunteered the information that he would soon be in the market for a gasoline engine for use on the new farm. Perry Becker, bruised, tattered and in pain, just an hour out of the jaws of a terrible death by the skin of his teeth, came back as quickly as s flash, "We have a twenty horse power gasoline traction engine on the floor at the International wareroom at Richmond. Maybe it would answer your purpose.' Terry Becker was on the job. And he Is district agent for the International Harvester Company. The moral? . Is not for you who always are on the job. It is for you who never get beyond your first job. Who never will get any higher up unless you make yourselves more valuable to the business you are working for. Get on the job.

Miss Katherine Elkins, in the top picture, whose matrimonial perplexities In connection with the Duke of Abruwi (shown Just beneath her on the left) have assumed a new aspect. Report has it that the continued importunities of the Duke in the face of royal opposition, has not been so much to have Miss Elkins become his bride as the mere Duke, but rather as tbe prospective King of Greece. The trouble between King George and tbe military clique surrounding the throne augments daily. Tbe King and Queen of this unhappy country are shown in the lower pictures. It Is expected that at any moment they may be called upon to abdicate in which event it may be tbe Duke of Abrutzl for King and some day Queen Katherine. 1 ' i
Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE, ' Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye CRO WORSHIP. We are all hero worshipers. We admire our hero because there Is something In us like that which wo admire io him. Tbo boy's early hero Is the policeman or tbe fireman or tbe soldier, because there Is something In hia hero that Is like something In blm. And so of tbe race. . My cave man ancestor made his hero of tbe man who could crush the most skulls with his club. And; there is something of my stone age ancestor In me. bis heir. Therefore tbe worship of the warrior while tbe hero of tbe gentler arts goes unsung. - :'.'.-" , But tbe time will come i when we shall build our iaonnments to tbe heroes of peace, to tbe men and women who serve tbe race and sacrifice for tbe race, rather than to the warriors who roll garments in blood. Some day we shall cease to admire s Charlemagne, wbo made bis specialty that of killing men. and celebrate tbe virtues of a Pasteur., who by his patient laboratory discoveries saves men from such horrid deaths aa that of hydrophobia. Somg day an Edison will rank above a Caesar. Some day we shall understand thai one David Livingstone, on bis knees in Africa, praying for tbe open sore ot tbe world." Is worth a hundred Charles M artels, wbo hammered the Mohammedans; that tbe perils of a Paul and his labors are Incomparably greatergreater in sacrifice and patience and heroism than that of all your blood letting generate. . We shall see clearly, some day That tbe Thirty Tears war was a mere skirmish compared with the ago long campaign great and good men bare made against Ignorance and superstition aad brutality and poverty and tbe evlla of political and social Ufa. -.

Items Gathered In From Far and Near
The Presidents Letter. Washington Star. It did not need the President's letter to Mr. Griscom to convince the country that he had no hand in the political play which resulted in the rejection by the New York state republican committee of Mr. Roosevelt's name for the temporary chairmanship of the. state convention. Despite the hints and even the direct statements to the effect that the President was a party to tbe action of the committee, it was not credited that he had made the egregious blunder as a politician and committed the unpardonable act as President of thus Interfering in the political affairs of a state where bis predecessor in office must be reckoned as among tbe leaders of bis party. It is most unfortunate that the situation has developed to its present point and that apparently the good faith of tbe second highest federal official should have been brought into question so publicly and so pointedly. Whatever explanations may later be made, the most important fact now stands forth that the President has In nowise involved himself in the faction fighting of his party in tbe state upon which it must depend for national success in two years hence. For a Better City. Indianapolis News. It is not a vast population alone that makesa great city. We have never been carriejd away with the ambition for a town large in numbers. We do crave quality; but what there should be about numbers, after the point, is reached that brings to a city practical ly all that any city can have, we do not see. Indianapolis has certainly at tained a size which enables it to command the great advantages of city life. More than this were repetition. After there are parks sufficient, theaters, paved streets, lights, schools and public transportation, what were size ex cept more of the same? The thing that every city ought to strive after (and this be it said will bring increase of size) is quality. We spoke recently to two things that make more for a better city. One is low taxation. It is useless to try to make a city what it ought to be if its tax rate becomes overburdensome. Almost invariably with American cities excessive taxation means loose management, extrava gance and waste. And no city ean have a worse advertisement than that and none a better than low taxation that, by good management-keeps up efficiency. The other thing to which we spoke was clean byways and alleys and back yards. , French Airmen. New York Sun. . Americans have performed remarkable feats in the air, and they hold more than one record, but it is1 no derogation of their skill to allow the general superiority of the French flying men and their easier and surer handling of the aeroplane. Flying is no more a novelty or a wonder in France. They take to the air in that country as a duck to the water. M. Hubert Latham makes visits and keeps appointments in his aeroplane, and Farman, who passes for a Scotsman, however, travels about In his biplane very much as an American tours In his automobile. The French are licensing air pilots. Parsiot a budding aviator, qualified recently and straightway flew from Doual to Chalons-sur-Marne, a distance of about 100 miles, with a bouquet to lay at the feet of his sweetheart. We shall certainly have to admit the preeminence of the Frenchmen who share the air with the carrier pigeon and the swallow. v Who Weighed Itf From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
