Washington, July 12.—Under
the caption The Case of Mr. Roo
sevelt, Senator La Follette has
written the following editorial
in the current number of La Fol-
lette's Weekly;
“Bryan at Baltimore, forego
ing all chance of his own nom
ination, marshaling all his for
ces, braving Tammany and the
trusts to I'escue his party from
their domination, carrying the
Convention for the adoption of
the most progressive Democratic
platform yet offered and the nom
ination of the most progressive
Democratic candidate availacle,
was a towering figure of moral
power and patrotic devoting to
civic righteousness.
‘ ‘Roosevelt at Chicago, cacked
by derved from the .^tock-wate’'*
ing operations of tKe Steel Trust
and the Harvesle3r.;iE^% org
anizing what are now confessed
to have been fake contest as to
nearly two hundred delegate in
or^r to control the Repiiblican
Convention and secure his ow)
nomination,' refusing to aid in
making a piogressive platform,
bound to have the nomination or
destroy the Republican partv,
was a most striking example of
misdirected power and unworthy
ambition.
“Roosevelt had as great an
opportunity to serve the progre
ssive cause in Chicago as Bry? n
had at Baltimore. But Roose
velt was serving thci man, not
the cause. He wanted one thing
—he wanted the nomination.
And yet he did not have enough
votes to nominate himself upon
any honest basis. He did have
enough delegates in that conven
tion ultimately to have nominated
a real progressive and adopted a
strong progressive platform.
He could even have nominated
Hadley on such platform, and
progressive Repubhcans could
have supported Hadley in much
the same spirit as hundreds of
thousands of them will now sup
port Wilson. Neither Hadley
nor Wilson are veterans in the
progressive ranks. Neither of
them has been tried by the sev
erest tests. Both appear to be
men of high ideal?, whose records,
through short, give prom
ise.
‘ ‘But Roosevelt would not con
sider Hadley. He would have no
one but him self. At the first
suggestion of Hadley he ordered
the third party maneuvers, lest
he lose his followers..
”Ifhe had the eviden«?es to
prove that Taft could not as hon
estly and fairly nominated, why
did he not direct his lieutenants
to present that evidence to the
national committee, and to the
convention and the country, so
clearly tl a" the con\ e ition would
not have dared to nominate Taft,
and that Taft could not, in honor,
have accepted the nomination, if
made?
“The reason is obvious. An
annaysis of the testimony will,
I am convinced, had a majority
of honestly or regularly elected
delegates. This the managers
upon both sides well understood.
Each candidate was,-taryirig to
set asuflScient nu mber of fraud-
ulenty credentialed delegates
added to ihose regularly chosen
to support him, no secure control
of the convention and steam roll
the nomination. Il was a proce
eding with which each had san
ctioned in prior convention.
“This explains the extraordinary
conduct ofRoosvelt. He could n^ t
enter upon such an analysis cf
the evidence as would prove
Taft’s regulaily elected delegates
in the minority, without i nevit-
ably subjecting his own spuriou
sly credentialed delegates to an
examination so critical as would
expose the falsity of his conten
tion that he had an honestly ele
cted majority of the delegates.
He therefore deliberately chooses
no claim everything to cry fraud
to bully the national committee
and the convention and having
thus created a condition which
make impossible a calm investig
ation of case upon merit, carry
the convention by storm.
“That this is the true pscyho-
logy of the Roosevelt proceedings
becomes perfectly plain. He
was there to force his own nom
ination or smash the convention.
He was not there to preser
ve the integrity of theHepublican
party and make it an instrument
for the promotion of progressive
principles, and the restoration of
nonsense bf R,bd^evelt cixpcis^d:

Instead, he ^lled the public ear executive head, is no les^ the
with sound and fur,. Heruthle- manjn the right place than is
ssly sacrificed evry thing to the
one of his being the one candid
ate. He gagged his follwers in
the convention without putting
on record any facts upon which
the public could bask a definite
intelligent judgement regarding
the validity of Taft's nomination.
He submitted no suggestion as
to a platfcrmtof progressive pri
nciples. He clamored loudly for
purging the convention roll of
tainted delegates vpithout purgi
ng his own candidacy of his tai-
htad content and his tainted trust
support. He offered no reason
fora third party, excepting his
own ovesrrmastering craving a
third term.'*
The Taft Orfuuzitioi^
Mr. Hilles. His fine abilities in
dealing with men and situations
were brought out at Chicago and
he will prove the very ablesit
kind of man to get the organiza
tion of the Taft forces .into the
smoothest ‘working order. So
that with the finely perfected or
ganisation with which it will en
ter the campaign and with the
support of the business interests
the Republican party has little
to fear ^ to the outcpnie. But
it will work and it will ^brk and
it wiif do unremitting work, in
fact in the carrying on of the
campaign in the hottest cont^t
that has mar^e^ natini^l politics
for many yeare. /Orgariizaia^

No mor« perfect party organ
ization has ever been made than
that which i» being formed about
the candidacy of President Taft
for re-election by his party. The
selection of Mr. Charles D. Hill
es. Mr. Taft’s private secretary,
as chairman of the national com
mittee insures the services of a
man of wide information in the
field of politics, of close acquaint
ance with the men and themi.>ve-
ments and one who not only has
the qualities of leader and direct
or, but is so close to President
Taft as to be thfe most inspiring
of all men whose names have
been proposed. His sekcti>n
will not represent sectional bal
ance or the superiority of any one
state in the general movement
forsuccejs. Mr. Barnes, of Ntw
York, would have made an in
domitably aggressive leader, but
inis activities in behalf of New
York will be no less strenousand
successful than if he had been
rnade chairman. The Empire
State has been east upon the
discard heap by Mr. Bryan and
the Democrats will have to con
tent themselves with seeking the
nomination for their candidate
without New York—a purely fa
tuous undertaking. For while
Mr. Wilson will not undervalue
New York the Democrats of the
state have been too deeply and
gratuitously affronted to aiford
him any encouragement to be
lieve they will eat the crumbs
that fall from the Bryan table.
Senator Crane, of New Eng
land can be depended upon to
take care of the New England
end of the Taft campaign and
other leadei^ like Lodge and Root
will be active in their sections.
Numbers of other men of promi
nence in the West will see to it
that the Taft organization is in
perfect working order. In every
part of the United States the nat
ional committee under Mr. Hilles
will take the minutest pains to
have every part of the political
field well tilled and the getting
out of the vote on election day
brougfht to perfection. The
choosing of orators and the pub
lication of campaign material
and the numerous other mea
sures to be adopted to insure suc
cess will be carried out without
either delay or vacillation. No
other party will be nearly as
completely correlated as Jhe Re
publican and no other party will
have the United States so cover
ed at every angle. This cam
paign by the Taft forces is to be
distinctly one of fine and com
plete management. It is to be a
cairipaign where the directorship
of the, men at the head will be
responded to by every voter
whose support is catsred to by
written or orally pronounced ar
guments.
When the particular conditions
call for aggressiveness to the
point of bitterness the aggres
sion will be forthcoming. When
the conditions call fdr concilia
tory argumentation it will be
supplied, when the arrogance of
Roosevelt or the assumption of
Wilson challenge facts, the facts
will be so arrayed and so built
up as to make irrefutable. When
the lines close in and the fight
becomes intense the very pick of
the party will be found leading
the assault upon the breastworks
of the enemy. There will be no
defensive work done by the Re=
publican party. It will not en
ter into any talking tour with
anybody. It will simply go out
for votes which the people are

Saving Ten Gents A Week’
Why didn’t King- Mida-s, the
gold lover try to save 10 cents a
week? says the Chicago,Tribune.
He could have given the world a
wonderful example of the value
of the saving habit Besides, he
would have left money for the
members of his family alive to
day. Midas was one of the kings
of Phrygja, As the Phrygian
line was wiped out by the Cim
merians about 670 B. C. We may
assume he lived about 80C B. C.
or at least 2,721 years ago.
If King Midas had started in
saving 10 cents a week he would
have saved a dime, therefore, on
each of 140,870 weeks. This
would have made him the neat
little sum of $14*0^.20. Al
though not, a fortune in these
days, $14,097.20 is quite a fair
sum to save by giving up one ci
gar a week. But there is more
to follow.
In those adys of political up
heaval and commercial uncer
tainty, capital was entitled to a
bigger return on its investment
than it would be today. The
risk was tnuch greater. Though
we have no actual records of
Phrygian rates of usury it is fair
to assume that the Midas’ ac
count drew 10 percent interest
compounded annually for at least
the first ^0 years, or until the
commercial world had reached a
comparatively recent stage of de
velopment
Beginning, therefore 800 years
befo'e Christ, Midas put into his
savings 10 cents every week.
At the end of the first
ten 'weeks he had a dollar. The
Interest on $1.00 for one year is
not great, even at 10 per cent,
but it adds another dime to the
ten already saved. At the end
of the second year there is some
thing more than two dimea to be
added.
At the end of the first 100 years
the accumulations on the first
dollar, at 10 per cent compound
ed would be $13,780.66. Thus,
Midas, in the year 700 B. C.
would have had $18,780.66, re
sulting from his first 10 weeks’
savings. The compounding goes
on through the next century so
that at the end of 200 vears, or
in the year 600 B. C., Midas
would have had $189', 606,500,04
from his first dollar.
At the end of the next hundred
years or in 500 B. C. the results
fronj those first ten dimes put
away would bt $2,619,128,149,-
100,63 Continuing this com
pounding through the following
2,411 years it is not a compli
cated mathematical problem to'
arrive at the sum Midas would
have today from his first $1 sav
ed.
Remember, moreover, this sum
which would up arriong the un
countable trillions of dollars,
would represent the increment
of only $1 put away by Midas.
Midas himself, busily saving
dimes, wouln have started a new
series of dollar pyramids every
10 weeks. At the end of the
