liVOLlTIOX IN POLITICS.
It scorns quite plausible, if not cer
tain, from the statements of Col. Mul
hall, that it was Roosevelt the reac
tionary republicans were after and
that they were hoist by their own pe
tard when Taft was forced upon them
in the Chicago convention. Their
arbitrariness "has been their undoing.
In other particulars, crediting the
fame authority, their organization and
their alliance with the N. A. M. served
them well or, rather, tho N. A. M.,
for tho welfare of that combination
of selfish interests seems to have been
the sole purpose of government as
conducted by the reactionary wing
of tho republican party. The people
got the leavings.
Incidentally some things aro ex
plained why Pres. Taft was unable
to accomplish what he set out to do,
why Itoosevclt and Taft split after the
former had placed the latter in line
for tho presidency, and why the re
actionaries renominated Taft in 1912.
Previous to the campaign of 1908
Roosevelt and Taft were the closest
personal and political friends. Their
personal Intimacy extended to ad
dressing each other by their first
names. Their political frendship was
emphasized by Taffs devotion to the
president and the latter's interest in
having hl3 cabinet officer elected to
tho presidency.
When Taft became president his
purpose was to carry on the policies
Introduced by Roosevelt. That was
his declared intention and the record
shows that ho tried to carry it out,
but ho lacked tho punch. He found
the reactionaries arrayed against him.
He first fought them, more or less
feebly, and then surrendered. That
was when Roosevelt quit him and be
gan to lay plans for, the coup of 1912.
Cannon or some other equally rad
ical republican, was the choice of the
reactionaries in 1908, but Roosevelt
rodo ruthlessly over them. By 1912
Taft was fo thoroughly domesticated
or, at least, so thoroughly in their
power that they ran the steam roller
over Roosevelt and renominated him.
"What followed has been sufficient to
vindicate the evolution of politics.
Under a reactionary republican ad
ministration no such exposure of po
litical methods as that now being
made would have been possible.
We cannot picture William Howard
Taft, as president, discerning the pos
sibilities of an investigation of tho
congressional lobby nor a reactionary
republican congress voting to author
ize it.
COXI'USKI) BUT NOT ALAI13IED.
Tho placing of a loan of fifty mil
lions for the Mexican government
sterns to be behind the concerted
movement in Mexican and European
circles to induce or force the United
States to recognize the Huerta gov
ernment. Trcs. Wilson is authority for the
statement that he has not been ap
proached In an oillclal manner by any
European government on the subject
of recognition and the presumption Is
that the Intimations or impressions he
has received have come from foreign
financial sources by reason of the
failure to sell Mexican bonds without
recognition of the present Mexican
government by tho United States.
Tho president confesses himself
confused by the contradictory reports
ho has received directly and indirect
ly In regard to tho Mexican situation
and has widely determined to make no
alteration In his policy toward that
government until tho uncertainty in
his mind is dispelled. Ambassador
Wilson will be asked to lend what aid
he can to this end. He has been call
ed horn for that purpose, and also
will be given an opportunity to explain
his activities in the interest of tho
Huerta government, concerning which
there has been considerable talk in
the newspapers and In administration
circles.
It is assuring to the country that
Pres. Wilson has no apprehension of
European action that mi.ht be con
strued as a violation of the Monroe
doctrine. European governments may
feel free to urge recognition upon the
United States regardless of its effect
upon this country, but they will be
slow In attempting to force their
wishes.
nrr: conciliation board.
Out of the stress of the moment has
come a congressional enactment of
great wisdom and usefulness through
its creation of a mediative power car
rying the authority of the govern
ment to bring about peaceful solution
cf labor disputes.
Tho creation of the olfice of com
missioner of mediation and concilia
tion together with those of assistant
commissioner and consulting members
of the board places the government in
position to exert its influence in pre
venting strikes and bringing about
equitable adjustments of labor dis
putes. To a degree it usurps in this
particular the mlssloa of the National
Civic association, of which S-th Low
Df New York is president, which has
rendered useful services in the present
Xi lance.

It Is not the function of the com
missioner and the board to arbitrate
or decide terms of settlement. It has
no Judicial or other authority beyond
the scope of efforts to conciliate war
ring interests and induce them to
amicably adjust their differences. If
these efforts fail it is then the province
of the commissioner and board to lead
the contestants to the board of arbi
tration authorized by the same
amendment to the Erdman act that
created the mediation and conciliation
commissioner and board.
The expedition with which this
measure was formulated and put
through congress Is one of the legis
lative marvels of the day. It is with
out precedent except at times of equal
exigency, when war existed or threat
ened. Congress forgot its politics for
1
the moment and united in providing
the government with a law which
seems to provide a much needed remedy.

Getting the News
BY ITtFD C. KKLLY.
Probably no one ever got a Job on a
newspaper by a less customary meth
od than Ben V. Allep.
Allen is today an able political writ
er and Washington representative of
a great Ohio newspaper. He is bir,
not only professionally but physical
ly so big and Eelf-possessed in man
ner that one cannot think of him as
lacking a job. Yet he once had such
dire diificultlcs getting himself con
nected with a newspaper that he was
almost discouraged into giving up the
effort and taking a place in a bank or
a shoe store.
"When he finished college Allen was
intent on writing for the press. He be
lieved he had a message, or some
thing like that, and that the plac for
him was in the world of journalism.
But his trouble was that lie could not

find any city editor who shared his
faith in his own abilities. There was
one paper in particular on which he
had set his heart. It was the paper
that had been at the breakfast table.
A
i
in
his own home ever since he could
remember, and he wauld readily have
sold his soul for a place on the staff
of that Journal. lie went eight or
nine different times to see the city
editor, and each time was rebuffed.
The city editor thought Allen looked
too much "college". Not being a col
lege man himself, the city editor was
annoyed by the sight of stalward young
mm who looked as if they might know
a great deal about football forma
tions. Besides his staff was full.
However, the asistant city editor,
who had been sitting near by listening
to Allen's offers of his services, felt
sorry for the young applicant. The
assistant city editor was John M. i?id
dall, now associate editor of the
American magazine, and even then a
man of unusual resourcefulness. Ho
followed Allen out of the city room
one day, called him to one side, and
whispered to him that he would guar
antee to get him a Job if he would
only follow instructions. Allen said
he would do anything.
"Well, your part may be a little
irksome and tedious," SiddaU warned
him. "but it will be worth trying. Now
listen. Every afternoon at 1 o'clock
the city editor gives out the assign
ments to members of his staff. They
report here promptly at that hour.
I want you to report promptly at that
hour, too only not here at the ottice.
You are to report at that cigar store
over yonder across the street. The
others report here and you report
there. That ought, to be simple
enough."
"But what am
store?" inquired
I to do at the cigar
Allen.
Nothing whatever," replied iddall.
"Just report on the dot and remain
there for two or three hours every af
ternoon." "What's the Joke, anyhow." Allen
asked him.
"Quit asking questions now," ad
monished Siddall, "and do what I tell
you."
Siddall seemed so much In earnest
about it that Allen took a chance on
following out the scheme, and day
after day he might have been seen in
front of the cigar store smoking large
"black cigars, and pacing to and fro
nervouslv. likf a wnmnn wnitinir fnr
end of the second week he was about
to give It up, but he happened to meet
Siddall on the street, and the latter
urged him to stick right along.
"And be sure," added Siddall, "to
show up there promptly at 1 p. m."
On the twentieth day of Allen's af
ternoon appointments with Destiny
something happened.
When Siddal walked into his office
to po to work, he found the city edi-
Mor with a woebegone face, looking
for all the world like a cab horse with
a secret sorrow.
"We're up against it," remarked the
city editor lugubriously.
"How?" asked Siddall.
"Oh, nothing." said the city editor,
"only that I've got the heaviest as
signment book we've had in months,
and three men are off two sick and
one suddenly called out of town. What
we're going to do goodness knows; I
don't."
"Well, the only thing I se to do is
to get hold of some extra help," sug
gested Siddall calmly.
"Oh. ye-ehl lne idea! Extra help.
ut h,c,re In the name of the eternal
Sam Hill are we going to get it?"
"I can get a man a fellow by the
name of Allen to take some of the
smaller assignments." said Siddall.
He's been wanting a Job."
"Ah, you couldn't ever locate him
in a year." protested the city editor.
"Just leave that to me," Siddall in
sisted, as he stepped out of the little
olfice. He grabbed the ottice boy, led
him to the front window, and pointed
to something across the street.
"See that big slob in front of the
cigar store?" said he. "Hustle right
over there, tap him on the shoulder,
and tell him Mr. Siddall wants to see
him immediately."
The olfice boy had scarcely had time
to beat it across the street when Allen
came bounding into the office with the
exuberance of a collie pup.
"Now you know why 5'ou have been
reporting to the cigar store every
day," said Siddall. "I'm about to get
you a job."
He introduced Allen to the city ed
itor and it was arranged that the big
chap should have a day's trial.
Siddall called him aside for a final
word of warning.
"Listen carefully to what the man
tells you," he said, "and write all your
assignments down on a piece of paper.
Don't ask him any questions about
how to get the stuff. Just listen, and
don't say a word. Then come out
here in the hall and I'll show you how
to go about covering the assignments."
That was Allen's first few minutes
in the Held of journalistic endeavor.
Although that was fifteen years ago.
he has never been off the payroll of
that same newspaper clear up to the
present day. And in that period he
has risen from humble cub to one of
the successful political writers of the
country.

The sleishhells jingle jingle.
The air with frost a-tingle.
And from our cozy ingle
We look out on the snow.
Theres ice upon the river,
The passing people shiver,
The mercury doth quiver
At zero or below.
We hear the sidewalks creaking.
The chill winds moanhkg, shrieking.
And gratefully we're seeking
The comfort of the tire.
To keep the furnace maw full
Makes coal bills simply awful.
It ought to be unlawful
To raise the prices higher!
The water pipes are freezing.
With fearful colds we're sneezing.
We find the fact displeasing
That we must sniff and cough.

changed her appearance so she could
find out what sort of irl this pretty
sister was, too.
"H'm," said this daughter, with a
haughty air, "do you think I came to
this well Just to draw a drink for
you? I certainly did not come for
that purpose, but you can drink if
you want to do so."
"You are not very polite and not

"And, as you seem to have such an
unpleasant disposition, I will make
you a fitting gift. This is what I give
you every time you open your mouth

The child was a little frightened,
but thought, in her naughty pride,
that the woman was merely talking.
She hurried home to her mother.
"Well, daughter," said the mother,
"how did you get along? Did you
