His Comparison of Taft and Roosevelt, and Prediction of Coming Demo cratic Success a Ridiculous Mass of Rot. Winston Churchill has written some clever stories of American life, and maybe his only claim to notice Is based upon them. But he has made a shy at politics, too, and asks consid eration on that score. He is on his way home from a for eign trip, and interviewed in London about the political situation in the United States, declared that It was blue lor the Republicans. A Demo cratic victory in November would not surprise him. He picks Mr. Roose velt for 1912, and hopes to see him the candidate. Mr. Churchill does not seem to know that the men who have con trolled the Republican party for the past quarter of a century are the men who elected Theodore Roosevelt Governor of New York in IS9B, vice president in 1900 and president in 1904. Mr. Roosevelt was glad of their support, and in office worked with them with a will. He left the White liouse last year on excellent terms with the great majority of them. Why should the party cast them out, and at the same time prepare to ac cept the leadership again of the man who with their aid made so great a name for himself and accomplished so much form the country? We hear frequently and from many sources criticism of Mr. Taft for the relations he holds with Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Cannon. Why has he not barred the door against them? Why should he be visited by, and give his confidence to, leaders so roundly de nounced by men and newspapers of prominence in Republican councils? By whom, except representatives of the interests, is either .Mr. Aldrich or Mr. Cannon trusted today? And so forth. Do not the men who talk in this strain know that Mr. Roosevelt while in office gave his confidence quite as fully to Mr. Aldrich and to Mr. Can non as Mr. Taft has ever done? Did the doors of the White House ever swing wider at the approach of the chairman of the senate finance com mittee or the speaker of the house than during the seven years' occu pancy of that building bv Theodore Roosevelt? Did not Mr. Roosevelt pay public tribute to Mr. Cannon? And is it not a widely accepted belief in political circles that it was the in fluence of Mr. Aldrich that prevented Mr. Roosevelt at the beginning of his second administration, so to say, from taking up the tariff question? Why, then, all this gabble about putting Mr. Taft out and Mr. Roose velt in again on the allegation that the former keeps, and the latter did not. keep, bad company? Are Mr. Al drich and Mr. Cannon worse men now than a year or so ago? What proves It? No rot deserves more justly the description of tommyrot than the rot Mr. Churchill and his friends are as siduously circulating. Minnesota, Too. Tl.e action of the Republican state convention of Minnesota was on the tame lines and dominated by the bp-P'.«» spirit as the recent Republican convention of Wisconsin. Its indorsement of the president tvas net only strong and unequivocal, it was enthusiastic. This was, in fact, the keynote of the convention. The attempt to weaken this indorsement by indirection was overwhelmingly de f.. ted. it Is reassuring to hear tills clarion note of loyalty from our sfc w r stat»».

HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXULT Republican Party Has Done Well, and the Leaders Are Accordingly Pleased. The political situation at the close of congress could not be more fitting ly expressed than in the following from the Washington Star: "Where are the fond Democratic hopes of yesterday?" Republicans in congress asked today as they contem plated the record of legislative achievement of a Republican congress, under a Republican president. The question was suggested by recollec tion that only a short time ago the Democrats were flushed with expecta tion of sure victory In the ft 11 elec tions, based upon possible failure of constructive legislation. Less than a month ago the Demo crats were loud in jubilation over the seeming plight of their opponents. Some Republicans, too, of faint heart, were willing to hedge their bets for an even break on the prospects of carrying the next house. At that time the outlook was gloomy. The railroad bill, the postal savings bank bill, the statehood bill and other administration measures Were apparently hopelessly bogged down in the mire of party factional- Ism and partisan opposition. President Taft, with his back to the wall, figuratively, was fighting off a horde of snarling, snapping adversa ries, some of them in his own party. The president's friends had their hands full in pleading for a square deal for his administration and the congress. He never turned a hair; never showed that he heard the yelp ing of the pack. Within a week it has dawned upon the country that quietly, unostenta tiously, without beat of drum or sound of cymbals, the congress and the ad ministration have carried out a record breaking program of legislation. "The greatest record since the civil war," is the claim officially made for the session's work by the Republican whip of the house, John Dwight, of New York, and he produces the list of laws enacted to prove it. The administration leaders in con gress have been claiming all along that all that was needed to insure the approval of the country of this administration and congress was a fair trial of the administration's abil ity. They got it, and now they are confi dent that the country will appreciate the result. The next step is a vigor ous campaign, with sturdy carrying of the load of insurgency, handicap that it is. The insurgents, it is claimed, will be saved in spite of themselves. The tail will go with the hide in the coming elections, the leaders think, helping to make up a safe working majority in the next house of repre sentatives. STAY IN THE PARTY CAMP Factional Strife Among Republicans Will Ee Settled Within the Organization. It is called to public attention by the Cleveland Leader, that "whatever the difference among Republicans in respect to party policies and leaders, it is evident that there is a general determination to settle all disputes and difficulties inside the Republican organization. There is warm work between the factions, but they stay in the Republican camp." In the opinion of the Norwalk Re flector, "this is proved by the very large vote cast at primary elections. In South Dakota, for instance, the to tal vote for the three Republican con dldates for governor fell only a small fraction short of the vote cast tor Taft in the last presidential year. The number of voters who went to the polls and took part in the pri maries after classifying themselves as R< publicans, was extraordinary. ' Such 1 section of the country, and It 1 must fie remombi red thai there was a J great dearth of Demur tla for party i purposes, the last liuie the nation ! went to the polls." Worried Democrats.

His office has to do with vS /(*'/£A ' the welfare of the workingman and results of his M f #m . Si I work have shown that no better choice could \ have been made. K John Mltchell ls a self made man - lle knows ~ tjj\W what it is to toil in a coal mine. He has gone down in the pits not knowing whether he would / lK Wjjfh,. come out alive. He has had some narrow es r///////A /~S, MIIIIM capes, and he has seen his companions and friends die at their work. He is noted for his kind-heartedness. In the fall of 189S he was vice-president and organizer of the United Mine Workers of America. There was a striko at the Virden Coal company's mine in Virden, 111. For days the striking miners camped around the stockade the company had erected for the protection of its property. Mr. Mitchell, acompanied by several newspaper men, visited the camp of grim toilers one night, and the sights he witnessed touched his heart. Then came the day when the company attempted to land a train-load of negroes from Ala bama to take tho places of the white men. Governor Tanner had refused to order out the militia to protect negroes from other states. There was a riot. Nineteen or twenty men in the ranks of tho strikers fell dead under the shower of .bullets from rifles used by hired detectives from an agency in St. Louis. Negroes were killed, and one or two guards slain. The engineer of the train was shot through the arm. Then came John Mitchell again. He was what might bo called the angel of mercy to the stricken families of the miners. He wasn't violent; he coun seled peace. There was an element in the ranks of the union men, who thought Mr. Mitchell too peaceful, but in the long run his policy was found to bo the winner! No man ever did as much for the miners as he. The other day ho; went out to St. Louis from New York and talked on the sub.iect closest to his heart —that of placing safeguards around the working man. He said their were more persons killed in the United States each year in the peaceful industrial pursuits than would be killed if this oountry and England were continually at war, and three times more than in any other na tion. He urged the need of an automatic compensation for victims cf indus trial acidents in lieu of tho employers' liability protection. | GORE SHOCKED SENATORS Thomas Prvor Gore, the blind senator from I -= — Oklahoma, caused his fellow members of the Uni §ted States senate to sit up and take notice a day or so before the adjournment of congress. It takes a great deal to cause the staid old senate to show anything like a panic, but when Senator Gore intimated that an effort had been made to bribe him to the extent of $25,000 to §50,000 in connection witli legislation affecting $3,000,000 in attorney's fees for services rendered to the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations, in land and township sites, the senator gave immediate at- Then when the senator involved two former members of the senate in tho alleged plot the upper branch of congress strained its ears to catch every word. The senator's charges reached across the capitol to the house side, and a member of tho lower branch also was dragged into the affair. Of course the senate ordered an investigation, but it has since been found that no money is available and it may be some time before the matter is thoroughly threshed out. Ry reason of being blind, Senator Gore attracts unsual attention In con gress. When he was eight years of age ho was acidentally struck with a fctlek by a playmate and he lost his left eye. Three year slater the senator suffered the loss of his right eye, when an arrow from a cross-bow, drawn by another playmate, struck him. Mr. Gore did not let the loss of his eyesight interfere with his schooling, j He was graduated from a normal school and then went through Cumberland : university, in Tennessee. He was married to Miss Nina Kay, in 1900, and j nhe has been a great help to him in his reading. He removed to Texas in : 1895, and was a delegate to the National Populist convention In St. I.ouls, in j 1890. He was nominated by tho Populists as a candidate for congress, but , wan defeated. After he had removed to Oklahoma in 1901 he became a mem j ber of the Territorial council, and when Oklahoma became a state, he was | elected senator.

The five children of some faithful patients had measles, and during their rather long stay in the improvised home hos pital they never failed to greet his daily visit with pleased acclamation. The good doctor felt duly flattered, but rashly pressed the children, in the days of convalescense, for the reason of this sudden affection. At last the youngest and most indiscreet let clip the better truth. "We felt so sick that we wanted awfully to do something naughty, but we were afraid to be bad for fear you and the nurse would give us more hor rid medicine. So we were awfully glad to see you, always, 'cause you made us stick out our tongues. We stuck 'em out awful far!" The Miser of Sag Harbor. "Economy," said Daniel W.
