Here is a sentence from the letter

refuses to accept the duly nominated

party: J 1 i ' .
I realize that honest men may draw ab
solutely opposite conclusions from the

any reasonable man can examine the evi
dence and reach any other conclusion, I
am willing to concede the honesty of

But fine words butter no parsnips.
Continuing - to denounce every one
who disagrees as dlsnonest does not

ment which the Rooseveltians claim
for themselves. ...
Democrats and the Tariff Board.
The democrat of the house were
politically unwise to let party politica
actuate them in killing off the tariff
board by , refusing to appropriate
money for its continuance. It ia
well understood that they did this to
get even with the president for veto
ing their haphazard tariff bills. But
back of that it should be remem
bered that it was definitely under
stood the administration was com
mitted to scientific revision of the
tariff, v else the hoard, would never
have been created, and '.the demo
crats knew ; very well when they
batched up their twilight, tariff
measures me president couid not
approve them. without , stultifying
himself. They were, no more in good
faith then than theyV were' .when they
killed the tariff Iboard. .' It was all a
part of their plan to 'put Taft'tn a
hoie.;v ;. , . '"4if...i.-;,;-
But the "politically unwise feature
lies in this, that the trend of political
thought today ia toward the. tariff
board idea, which means schedule
making by experts, just ai much so
as when' Champ Clark so ardently
pralsed. lt when 1,, was first pre
sented. And the democrats, boasting
progressivism in this' campaign, con
vlct themselves in dealing a death
blow to this highly progressive meas
ure. But, no, oot the death blow. The
tariff board is not a dead issue. The
country demands it and in the end
will have it.
. Our Farming Poiiibilities.
.One it. simply lost in a forest of
figures when he undertakes to com
pute the Value of American farm
products. Here, for instance, la a
financial paper estimating that our
six leading crops corn, wheat, oats,
barley, potatoes and hay this year
will amount, to , J 88,000,060: more
than they came to last year. We no
longer speak of th total values, but
the' excesses;.' Not What did last
year's crops bring,:, but how vrnuch
more or lesa will the crops of tbU
year bring is the question.
Yet in spite of all this tremendous
increase in thW production of new
wealth; we accuse ourielveg of con-1
suming faster than we produce.
Then -with what rapacious greed we
must consume! But the criticism Is
not wholly unfounded. Our balances
at the end of the year prove that we
must enlarge our productive'' area
and increase our acreage yield. And
the extent and character of our soil
permit.. us to. do both. When It is
possible to increase our output of six
crops by more than 1750,000,000,
with only the beneficence of a mora
propitious season aa the cause, what
could we do wjth this plus a general

' Score' One for the Pacifists.'
It wai admitted that woman's suf
frage 'gained an impetus of perma
nently increasing effect when the Na

mitted itself in, faTor of this principle;
But, while this is true, certain , re
strictions will hamper the teacher
from promulgating the doctrine of
equal suffrage in the school room.
What seems to us as of much more
significance is that, this same asso
ciation should have committed Itself
as resolutely to the cause of world
peace! . IWorld peace is not a polit
ical doctrine. It can be preached
by the young woman to boys and
girls in" the school without offend
ing the partisan prejudices of their
parents.. . And when the rising gen
erations are enlisted on the side of
peace as against war,-peace will as
sume proportions of power it does
not now possess. ', i '"
What an adroit move, therefore, by
the pacifists to have Baroness Bertha
von 8utter of. Austria, one of the win
ners of the Nobel : prize, and cele
brated, for her part in promoting uni
versal peace, to address the teachers
of the United States, as well as the
federation of women's clubs. And
this distinguished woman will be
granted other opportunities of facing
assemblages" of women and teachers
before leaving the continent. - ' The

ATTRIBUTES OF THE MAN OF POWER
Characteristics of the' Eeaily Strong Men "of. the World.' f ;
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Two men in a crowd stand close to
gether, and yet they are the whole wide
world apart. In fact. If you should meas
ure the distance that, separates them
by going (rem the outer side of each
man VvOO miles around the earth too the
outer side of his neighbor, you would
obtain a mora accurate result than If
you measured the Inches that divide their
adjoining pockets. -
What makes this tremendous differ
ence? In some qualities all men ars the
Same. Their needs, their appetities, their
handicaps may be as much alike as their
bodies, and not so different as their
houses. Yet at once you feel that here,
on the one hand, is a man you can trust,
and the other man is wholly unreliable.
One Is sure to put things through that
he has undertaken; the other will drop
them mid-channel. One loves his own
kind, the other is a misanthrope; the
first is crafty, or witty, or dull, or
morose, or susceptible; the other is In
genuous, or conventional, or electrically
nervous, or Jovial, or inert to passion
and romance and sentiment. This man
sees all en earth or In the heavens above
that Is beautiful; the other seowls and
tares at the ground, heeditss ' of the
appeal of any loveliness in the visible
creaUon. On rejoices In his allotted
task, accepts added burdens cheerfully,
makes the trouble of frlends-and even
strangers-hl consent; the other Is a
crustaoean In his shell, a curmudgeon
who glowers and threatens and blas
phemes. One rnkn the children trust, and
confide In;, frm the other they will
flee, as though from an abhorrent ogre.
, But you meet a great man, and, for
the -life of you, you cannot see what
there Is In him that distinguishes him
by a bead and shoulders from the rank
and file. Why do men pay homage to
one no bigger than themselves, less
handsome and less accomplished ap
parently? He stands no higher In life,
and is co-heir to ths same six feet of
sod In death. Yet. from the general
opinion, he looms and towers above
the run of mankind. Are there net
thousands as sagacious, as forceful
and as magnetic as he? Why, then,
do they flock round this one and not
divide their homage? What Is the
source of his peculiar power, and why
Is It that when affairs ef msanituda
are seeking a director the responsibility
is eemmltted to his hands? What makes
the Immense difference between ootencv
and lmpoteney? Why do you Instinctively
turn for aid In any matter to ene man.
with the sense of h's marked superi
ority to his fellow? How do you knaw
that this man will do, and the other
won't? What selective instinct will an
able you to tell Infallibly emoni the
thronging thousands the strength or the
weakness of an individual? It Is the

The late William James startled eld-
timers by announcing that truth Is still
In the making, and that all of it has not
been discovered yet. Prof. Wegener of
Marburg now applies this thesis. to the
geographical location , of Cambridge, by
assuring astronomers that the Harvard
observatory is about 140 yards further
from tbe observatory at Greenwich than
it was twenty-six years ago. Here is
surely the "last straw" laid on the back
of the ancient theory of a "terra flrma"
on which everybody could depend. The
first was deposited when. Copernicus and
Oalliee took the earth from Its central
position and set ' It whirling ' through
space,, Then came a whole series of re
vised versions as to Its shape and be
havior. It used to be settled that its
pointing axis never varied; the geometri
cians who follow . Its movements now
have a confirmed wobbler on their hands.
We see the once round earth transformed

compromise between a sphere and a cube.
The old geologists were persuaded that

ELECTORAL COLLEGE CONfUSION
What May Happen Cdr tt at Com
Ins Election.
; ; .Harper's Weekly.
Yet another time the eleoteral college
is a seurce of. confusion and uncertainty!
The failure of that device of the fathers
Is already monumental, but apparently
we have not yet realised the full extent
of It '
This time the trouble comes about
through the pretension of Certain fol
lowers of Roosevelt that he Is the true
republican candidate tor president. As
we understand Colonel Roosevelt's own
statements, he wishes his new party to
be entirely distinct from the republican,
with a different name, a different organ
isation, and a membership wholly its
own, to which even democrats are in
vited to contribute. Yet he has done
rothlng to rebuke or check those of his
folio wen who, claiming to be Still re
publicans, would subvert to his interest
the republican machinery in certain of
the states where they control It. Their
design, an announced, la very simple. In
the states concerned they have either
named or propose to name as candidates
tor electors en the republican ticket men
who. It chosen, will vote, net for Taft,
but for the progressive candidate. Colonel
Koosevelt .
The plan Is indeed simple, and one can
easily see that It is disingenuous and dis
honest. But that, unfortunately, is not
the really practical question about it.
It is demonstrably Illegal? Is there a
clearly practicable way to defeat it?
That' is the very serious question now
presented to the republican managers.
It ia Idle to eay that such a question
ought not to arise at all. The law is
antiquated and Impossible, based on a
theory that hag sever worked, and so
long as we retain It we must expect to
encounter just such troublesome absurdi
ties a this.
As to the right end wrong of the mat
ter, there ts one preeedent Which might
well be controlling. In IsTt, James Rus
sell Lowell was chosen ene of the repub
lican electors of Massachusetts. After
the eleotton he was. It la said, gradually
convinced that TUden had carried the
country and ought to be seated. He wae
strongly moved and - strongly urged to
vote for ' him In the electoral college.
I Cut after grave reflection he felt that he
who must make his valence known.
When he Is in action he Is known of all
men for the man he Is.
The man of power Is the mar. who.
first of all, controls himself; who reins
In his temper, bridles his speech, har
nesses his energies to effective labor and
not to spasmodic impulse that dies out
like a fire .In straw. He Is likely to be
taciturn rather than garrulous; he does
not point to the' medals on his breast Or
recite his doughty deeds or dwell upon
the honors vouchsafed him. He would
much prefer to mention what he has done
after he has done it, rather than to in
dulge In swelling prophecies of great ac
complishment. He' has a will that .' or
dinarily seems inflexible; yet he , knows
enough to stoop or bend to avoid a break
age, and he will not obstinately persist
against advice in a ruinous course just
because It is the course be had once
chosen and his pride will not permit
him either to quit or to change. .The
great man is known by. the things he
doesn't, as well as by those he does. He
may . actually disclose his power by the
admission of his weaknesses. The able
general knows when to retreat as well
as the psychological ' moment for the
charge' that carries the day. Nobody
wants a man or a motor car or a saddle
horse that only knows how to go ahead
and keep on going. Not to be. restive
and impatient while one bides one's time
till the striking hour to be. seduously and
steadfastly patlent-to "work Rid wait"
and not explode with Irritability or be
worn down by the friction this' Is the se
cret formula of" the man who can swing
other minds into line with his own. the
man who win both make good and do
good, tho man on whont others rely with
a oontentcd sigh of satisfaction because
they know that he has ,only to be told
or to think for hlmself-and he will carry
the felling of the 'thinking into prompt
and complete, execution. How many of
such men are there? -:
Some unemployed men several hun
dred of them carrying sandwich boards
paraded single-file around a Liverpool
hotel. The legend they carried, read
"How Many Are We?" The purpose was
to call attention to their pitiable In
