The result of Pennsylvania's primary
undoubtedly took the country by sur?
prise, the extent of tho popular revolt
against the Republican machine baring
??.??li ??von less fully appreciated than was
the spread of dissatisfaction with tho
system which I.orim<?r represented in
Illinois. It Is again to b?? deeply re?
gretted that President Tuft should have
Buffered from an undiacrlmtnating eager*
ne.-s to vent a gnidiro against a domineer?
lug and misrepresentalivc stale organi?
zation. I
The IVnnsylvanla Republican machlBO,
Which inherited the sticma <>f despot Ism.
has n??t been liberalised in conformity
uiih ill?- growing public demand, bul
has failed conspicuously t?*? respond to
the best sentiment in the party. Thou?
ganda "f Republicana took advantage <?f
this opportunity to express their resent?
ment at its offensive meth???|s and r?-oord.
Hut ?they were unfortunately mlsi??d into
visiting on the President's cause tin?
retribu? ion which should have been re?
served for their own slate leader?- and
Institutions. Mr Taft lias suffered un?
justly both in Illinois and Pennsylvania
for the sins of others. Wherever it is
presented on its own merits his can?
didacy will continue to command the
party's resptvt and support
Tin: rr-iv to prote?T THE
COX RTB.
If the committee of the State liar As?
sociation wishes to do its utmost to put
an end to the demand for the re?-ail it
will strive to lessen the law's delays and
make Justice cheaper ami surer. One
great cause for the romplaints against
the judiciary is the p.?reistenca of a con?
dition which President Taft called the
{rarest problem before the nation and
which led Mayor Gaynoi the other ?lay
to refer to the courts ns the bast efti
denl department of the government.
Th?? recall neither of the Judges nor of
th?*ir decisions would cure the defects
in the administration of the law, but the
eons? l'iiisiic?-?- of those defects, of their
long standing and of the burden they are
to th?> public makes the people more
ready to listen to those who atta?-i< the
judiciary.
I/?t tlif? committee work to reduce the
number of appeals The reform just
adopted by the Ohio constitutional con?
vention is in the right direction?"one
trial and one appeal," except in the
gravest cases, where it would be possl?
ble to go t?> the highest courts.
And let pleading he simplified, so that
it will 11.a be possible to fight a case
through to the highest court two or three
times ?m technicalities <?f pleading be?
fore the trial itself actually besrlns, be?
sides fighting it all the way up to that
courl again after trial. Pleading was In?
vented I'.v the nu*dia*val schoolmen, with
their passion for metaphysical subtleties.
it has been slightly modernized In Un?
code states, but it bristles with difficul?
t?.-, which only serve to defeal Justice
by making it costly and slow. And let
the procesa already under way every?
where toward a leas technical attitude

riel still further, Put common sense

public will tak<- su, h pride In the
COUrta that they will not listen to revo?

in?? Commissioner Joseph Johnson,
who has appointed one woman t-n In?
gpector in the new bureau for the pr?->
vention <>f lire and Intends to appoint
more, remarks upon the efficiency of
women in such work and attempts to
explain it thus ;
"Women are not the loafers men are,
"When a woman ?oiks she works eon?
"sclentlously. She works her full hours
"and spend- none of then* going out to
"gel a ?1 rink or for a friend y chat "
Mr. <?. K Chesterton, b?>wever, who
mikes paradox ?if (?nservatlsm, bas a
totally different explanation of the
woman worker's loyalty. He \\rit<?s:
"Modern women defend their office with
"ail the fierceness of domesticity, They
"fight for desk and typewriter as for
"hearth and home, and develop a sort of
"wolfish wlfehood on behalf of the In?
"?risible bead of the firm. That is why
"they ?h? office work bo well."
Neither explanation seems wholly t<>
satisfy, 'lake the ease <>f the oldest of
women workers, the household servant
She d"?-. not go "lit to get a drink or
for a friendly chai, but no one i?-?-'-- es*
[-?ecially called upon t<? remark thai she
works conscientiously. And so far as
we are aware, no one has ?.ver aald thai
she develops a sort <>f "wolfish wifehood'*

Hasn't novelty sometblug I?) do with
the phenomenon of woman's loyalty to
her tasks In the newer lim-s ..f employ?

the virtues of a pioneer. Naturally, only
the ini'st energetic and ambitious of the

was l"<s that? four years ago, in \'.n

The Monthieux Coal Mine COmpai

Rcjiorts re< elve?l by the commercial
agen-dea Indkato an expanding volume
of bualnaaa in most linea of tirade and
conservative optimism In Industrial and
nnanclal circles. Better w?saUi?sr condl?
tlons, the expectation that th? ?liffeien?-.? |
between the anthracite coal ??penttors
and miners will l>'> petti?-?! on lln?SS satis?
factory to both parties, enlargement ?if
demand for textiles and a t.to.ob-r mar?
ket for metals at higher prhes are feat?
ures of tho present situation that en?
courage the idea of gradual Improve
ment in our mercantile activities. Bank
Clearings show for the last week a gain
for all cities of more than -3 per cent
as compared with the same time a year
ago, while the latest reports of gross
and net earnings of the chief rallmads
the I'nited States reflect growing
transportation receipts. Tho recent in?
dustrial and trad? expansion is being
well maintained, and the distribution of
merchandise, both wholesale ami retail,
i i unusually heavy for this period of the
year. In all departments of the iron
and steel trade increased business is
noted. The T'nlted States Steel Corpora?
tion is operating at the highest produc?
tive rate in Its history, and a?0001*dlng
to "The Iron Trade Review'* the inde?
pendent concerns are making substan?
tial gains, especially in the Bast, where
the mll-ls aro now working at about ?"?.">
per cent of their capacity.
In the drygnods market a striking con?
trast to the conditions prevailing a year
ago is found in production and con?
sumption. At this time In 1911 the tex?
tile Industry was in a state of extrem**
depression, while just now activity Is
reporten! throughout the trade, including
a largo export business. Speculation in
cotton future.-- Is active and prices for
options are higher, tho advance in QUO?
talions being bused to a largo extent on
the floods in the Mississippi River terrt
tory and heavy rains In both tho east?
ern and western sections of the cott?.n
| belt, which have delayed field operations.
Spot cotton Is selling at the best price
of tho year, but well under the ?-(notation
of a year ago. Homos-tic and foreign
spinners are heavy buyers, and opera
tors on the Cotton Exchange believe
that until more Is known reganling tho
new crop yield the tendency of prices
will be upward. Wheat Is higher owin
to advers?? reporta on winter wheat,
while corn and oats nlso have advance!
because of unfavorable advice? from th??
farms. It Is to?, early in the season to
formulate a theory as to the ultimate
I outcome of the year's harvests, but In
?-pite of the last week's response of cercai
price.? to bull operations information re?
ceived by officers of railroads in the
agricultural section of the country Indi?
cates that poll conditions are In favor of
big crops.
Political and labor developments ten1
to cause Irregularity in stock market
movements. The larger Interests, how?
ever, apparently are not at all worried
r\?r tho outlook and are proceeding
with their plans for strengthening rail?
way and industrial corporations by new
financing. New securities find a ready
market- Although bank reserve? ar?
relatively low, there la an ample supply
of capital in the country available for
Investment in the offerings of high grade
companies, and it Is worth noting that
in the last few weeks Issues brought out
by prominent banking houses have been
heavily oversubscribed. Local banks
continue to receive funds from the in?
terior in excess of shipments, but to
gome extent the gain on Interior ac?
count is offset by heavy payments to the

from trade and speculative quarters is
ini'reasing. Speculation on the London

BRITISH COLONIAL TRADE
Writer Sees Great Results from Its
Future Development.
T<> the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In an editorial In your Issue of the
St h instant, under the heading "Uritlsh Co?
lonial und Korelen Trade," you state that
"France, Germany end Ameri.a are &o
ni ah larger than Australia and ?"a nada,
that trade with them mlirht naturally he
supposed Immeasurably to exceed that with
the latter. Yet such 1? not the case "
I do not know If hy "America" you mean
the rnltfd States and South America, Of
the former only. If the latter ls excluded,
Canada ls larger than th? I'nite?! States,
and I think that Australia and Western
Australia are larger than France and Ger?
many.
That Australia, with her small popula?*
tlon, "Is Great Britain's hest customer" ls
a credit to her lo\alty. Sho ls tho most
?beautiful ami fertile of all th??. British col?
onies, an?l only the lone distan?'??, presents
more people from settling there, and, be?
sides, the lmmluratlon rules are very
strict, the cry being for a "white Aus?
tralia," excluding as many as possible of
the Chinese and negroes.
I am glad to note In your editorial that
Germany is ?such a good customer of Brit?
ain, notwithstanding all those wild Jingo
cries of war and rumors of war that we
hi ar of as being possible between those two
nations, so closely bound by ties of blood.
May their commerce keep on Increasing
and all thoughts of warfare forever ceaee'
When Great Britain will 'wake up" and
i?> ase to be a "dumping ground" and a free
harbor for the merchan?llse of all the na?
tions of the earth, and will exact customs
dues as rigidly as Mr. Iyoeb does In New
York, and ?a hen 'imperial preference" and
prota tlon (for which that at.io statesmaaj
and patriot Joseph < bamberlaln f??'ight so
hardi will bo established, "l-'rance, .?Mr
many and America" can take a back seat,
tit up and rub their eyes.

MORE SOUTHERN POLITICS.
To the ?Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter of T. T. Hicks In your
paper ?several days ago on "Southern Re?
publicans Their Motives and ePrlnctples
Been In North Carolina," attract?.i my at?
tention and reminded me that l know some?
thing about Southern political methods an?l
Injustice from actual experience and obser?
vation gained ?luring a residence In Texas
from MM to 1ST.. Mr. Hicks Mates manv
plain, Impressive truths In his short letter,
but ho lalls far short of telling the whole
story.
We ail know that practically there is only
ono party In the South, and that by un
eonstltuUonal dlsfranehtsement, outrageous
methods an?l appeals to the prejudices and
lectlonal feelings of the ?people In the)
South the Republican rarty ls euchred out
of thirty-five Congressmen and thirty-five
eli.'toral vote?., and that poltti? al Opposition
r completely strangled <?f course, just
enough opposition to Democracy is avowed
to give political contests the semblance of
an election, but not enough to endan?;?-r
whooping Democratic rietorles All kn<<w
that from 6.0*? to lB,tOS votes elect Cor\
gresemen In the south, while in the North
mi re than _.,??. .0 votes are polled In every
Congress district. In oth?>r words, one
?.-ote in tho South counts for as much ns
three or four do in the North With SUCb
ira ts before us, have we irot a "government
let tiio people, hy the ?people, for the 'peo?
ple".
In the name of Justice and liberty. In
the name of perfect ?freedom, fair play aril
a esquare deal, and In behalf .of free speech.
an emancipated >oonacti ne??? in th? South and
perfect political tobration with an equal
chance for all, I ask how much longer these
conditions will be allowed to exist?
