His Chicago speech, prefaced by the as sertion. "1 am here tonight to apeak for the renominatton of President Taft; I am now and always have been a progressive," is the most for midable broadside yet fired In the present campaign. It is sure to have wide and effective influence. It ia sure to drive in upon the minds of fair-minded men the pivotal fact that President Taft Is entitled to a square deal and is not getting It from soma of his old friends, who, only for per sonal and political reasons, have turned against blm. It remains to be seen whether the sanity of this nation will renounce a president wbo hss kept the faith, re deemed bla pledges and advanced progressive principles of government, but who has done it all along un dramatie lines. No administration. not even Roosevelt's seven years, can show more tangible results of needed sod constructive statesmanship than cessors. Bills gran ting pennlsstoa for the construction of a bridge across the Missouri betweea Council Bluffs snd Omaha have been passed at sev eral times, and the parties behind them bav vainly hawked them about la the financial markets. Inability to see are necessary funds has resulted la the lapsing of their franchises. It tbe new bridge is needei, and to to be constructed, its promoters will do very well if they put the question before the public on Its merits, and not as a speculative proposition. .

Secretary Stlmsen, who, while refualng to criticise Roossvelt personalty, asks the Amerlcsn people If It Is fair to criticise President Taft for csrrylng out the promises, for redeeming. the pledges, on which the people accepted blm, sponsored by Mr. Roosevelt, as their chief execu tive. The sense of American Jus tics.' we believe, will answer with a resounding "No. it it not fair." Divest , the snti-Tsft campaign of personal animus and ambition and net very much is left. Many of tbe men. who prevailed upon. Colonel Roosevelt to run for the. third term nomination, were actuated solely by revenge for Taft, born of disap pointed selfish ssplratlons. , Tbey neve forced Colonel Roosevelt, for ths 'first time In his brilliant career, Into a place where be must try to sx plain the anexplalnablt; they have put him on the defensive. Upon this very point Secretary Stlmson well says: I believe those wbo are forc ing him (Roosevelt), contrary to bis! original Intsatlon, Into the srto sga'nit Mr. Taft, are Jeopardising In stead of helping the real progress In the Ballon." Bach advice from sin cere friends, with no axss to grind, like Btlmion, Lodge and others. would be worth much more to Col onel Roossvelt Just now than all tbe balderdash that Is being handed to him by self-seeking exploiters ot anil Taft grudges.

It is difficult to believe any Vassa- chusetts community would tolerate such Inbumsa abuses as were heaped upon women and helpless children at Lawrence during tbe woolen mills strike. Tbe revelations made by eye witnesses to tbe house committee st sshiugton furnish food for very gKive thought. Why are police of ficers permitted to drag children and heat women, throwing both In dirty prisons when it sulu tbelr conveni ence. Fortunately for union labor. It may not be saddled with the blame f-r this Inhumanity, it rests unon ths shoulders of the law's ml alum. Witnesses told of how mlserstty r'sd were most of these children, th children of the men and women wbo worked In the woolen mills and hi ruck because tbe sere nnabli to buy enough of tbs cloth thee wer tusking to keep themselves and their babies property protected with cloth ing, to say nothing ot appearance. Added to this stste of sifalr Is the bullying brutality of the officers rf lit Isw. What sort of sentiment ob ta'nt In t community whsre suvb things csn go oa, tven for t day.' 'A strike lesder expressed the opin ion to the bouse committee that "This system of taking children from strike towns Is a system that's going to prevail In this country 'In ti.s fu ture In labor wars." Let ua hope not: let us hope that the labor war and the strike will give wty to a mors sent, feamaaa and Just method of settling workmen'! controversies Instead. But this la true: that the strike and labor war will live at long aa the- narrow vision that-cannot view tbt Interests snd relations of capital and labor at mutual and In terdependent. The concessions art not all to bt mads by labor; tomt must corns from tbt employer. It remains to be teen whether tbe English- .sutfragettst srrested and sentenced-to hard labor In prison will continue their violent demon stration when retessed. They pre tended to. aid the coal miners' strike In London by destroying property In nowise related to the strike situation, their destruction amounting to t!S, 000.

The revival ot the bill In congress for permission to construct another bridge serosa the Missouri river at Omaha la but one of several promi nent signs that Indicate tbe commer cial growth of this community. The additional bridge enterprise Is not t new one. It has been before the people on many occasions during ths last twenty years. When the Douglas street bridge was built, and the talon Pacific bridge was recon structed. It was thought the problem had beet) solved, but tbe growth ot traffic was such that these facilities were soon found to be inadequate. Tbe building of the East Omaha bridge did not afford tbe relief re quired, and today the railroads cen tering In Omsba find tbst the bridge facilities art Insufficient. Tbe need for taother first class railroad bridge across tbt Missouri Is almost Impera tive.

As the matter now stands, relates the Washtngtot correspondent of ths Boston Transcript, the Yellowstone Park Hotel company, the Wylle camp people and the Telmwstoas Psxk Transportation company, who have control over the transportation and tourist business, are refusing lo allow say competitor to enter the field. The people of Cody tried secure permits from ths secretaay ef the Interior for permanent camps within the park substantially tha same as those al ready established by ths companies men tioned. "In this war." says a .Wyoming complaint, "the Cody people could prop erly handle the tourists who come through Cody. But this proposition hss been tamed down by Mr. Fisher, who asks that ths Cody transportation com panies make arrangements with tha monopolists to handle their guests. Tha monopolists, however, will aot give the Cody companies the rates which they de mand, and consequently they feel them-' selves virtually to be excluded from the park. This," sdds our Informant "I dus entirely to ths fact that the monopoly now controlling this business Is con trolled in turn by men who have large political power In Washington and who are naturally opposed to ths Cody route as sn entrance Into tha park, because It would mean the cutting down of business by ths wsy of a hitherto popular entrance at Gardiner, Mont."
