While concerns that sell "blue sky," "salted mines," and other imaginary property should be put out of business and those connected with the game punished, one can scarcely work up much 1 sympathy for the victims of these companies. The man who buys patent lightning rods or gold bricks i is supposed to be a stage character only, but the sup-' position is wrong.

The world is full of such persons, and one is being born every minute. Witness the alacrity with which great numbers of people invest their money in a proposition ad- I vertised to make 900 per cent profits, and explained I in detail in pamphlets entitled "The Business That Makes Millionaires" and "Sixty Dollars a Second." The world may be -growing better, but such things make one wonder if it has grown any wiser since the days of the Mississippi Bubble or the promotion i of the scheme to extract sunbeams from cucumbers! dominated. There was a working agreement be-tween the men who "did things" in both old parties. These men sat on the safety-valve, in the vain belief that by so doing they could reduce the pressure. Then came the inevitable explosion.

The scandals of the last Legislature, the exposure of whole counties corrupted by the use of money, the swift on-rush of public sentiment, the demand for a new constitution, and the election of delegates to the constitutional convention which is yet in deliberation and clearly progressive. It is the convention that heard and applauded Roosevelt's "Charter of Democracy," and it is the convention that heard and repudiated Harmon's reactionary address. The convention is distinctively representative of Ohio sentiment and Ohio conditions. It is principles that today engross the State's attention. Party lines have been obliterated and men are only pawns.

"Favorite son" is an obsolete phrase in Ohio this year. It is the battleground upon which the old and the new regimes are contending for control. It is because of that situation that Ohio's fight is attracting national attention. "A VOTE FOR THE BOSSES."

BRANDT LOSES HIS FIGHT FOR FREEDOM Prisoner Rearrested Following Appellate Justice's Reversal of Lower Court.

"MOTHERS' DAY," AND ITS MEANING. Tomorrow is "Mothers' Day," a day which by common consent will be observed throughout the nation by the paying of an especial tribute to the memory of mothers who have left us, and to the honor and sacredness of mothers still with us. The custom is a fitting one, and yet why a mothers' "day?" Why not every day a day for revering the name of mother and the qualities that make the name the most sacred of all human names? We should be patriotic on every day, not alone on July Fourth. We should be thankful every day, not alone on Thanksgiving. We should remember the Christ-child every day, not alone on Christmas.

Holidays are helpful if they do not incline us to confine the outpouring of our sentiment on those days alone. The memory and. ''name of mother. means what it does, because it stands for sacrifice, service for- I giveness, charity, and undying faith in the object of its solicitude. These are the qualities that animate I the mother every day, every hour.

They are the qualities that are most needed today in all lines of human activity, and they are needed every day. Laws, institutions, machinery, opportunity, all count for little after all in the great scheme op climb-1 ing upward toward the ideal unless behind them is 1 the mother-spirit of losing one's self, pouring out one's self, and exercising boundless charity. It 1 is the spirit that gives life to all human endeavor. May we honor it tomorrow, and practice it every day thereafter! THE MARYLAND ROAD COMMISSION. i Washington people are liberal, if perhaps not I very remunerative, patrons of Maryland roads, and whatever may be their rights, they feel a very real interest in the continuance of the policy that has given that State such an excellent start toward a completed system of model highways.

Governor Goldsborough is about to make ap- pointments to three places on the road commission. It is ventured that if he should put politics aside and retain the services of Col. Frank C. Hutton, of I Montgomery county, the action would meet general I approval. Mr.

Hutton during his service has built some of the finest roads in the country. They are at least I the equal of any Maryland has laid down, and they are shown to have been absolutely the least expen-I sive. Mr. Hutton has devised various plans for reducing the cost of first-class construction; he is a thoroughly practical constructor, as well as a fully i equipped engineer. He is familiar with the road situation in all parts of the State, and has been an insistent advocate of the plan, so successfully tested under him, of using local materials and saving transportation charges, For the commission to lose I him now would be to lose an accumulation of ex- perience and information that a new man would 1 require a long time, no matter how well he might 1 be qualified for the task, to duplicate.

In his letter to the Minnesota 'Republicans, Colonel Roosevelt aid: A vote for Mr. Taft is a vote for the bosses; it is a vote for Lorimer, for Penrose, for Guggenheim, for Qal-linger, and all the rest. If that is a fair statement, it ought to be completely convincing with the people at large. Is it fair? Certainly Taft's Administration to date has shown that "a vote for Mr. Taft" in 1908 was "a vote for the bosses." The bosses have had Mr.

Taft ever since. The legislation has been their legislation, so far as he could make it such. The bosses didn't want Garfield, and did want Ballinger. They were accommodated. The bosses wanted Cannon kept as Speaker; Taft led the fight to keep him.

The bosses wanted Aldrich to boss the tariff revision. Taft helped keep Aldrich in power, and declared Aldrich's bill the "best ever." The bosses wanted a bogus railroad bill. Taft got it up for them, and tried his utmost to get it passed as he had prepared it. The bosses wanted a Commerce Court. Taft got it for them.

The bosses wanted Archbald on that Commerce Court. Taft put him there. The bosses vanted Lorimer retained. Taft wrote to Roosevelt begging him not to write against Lorimer in the Outlook. The bosses wanted the pure food law nullified, and Wiley driven out.

Wiley is gone. The bosses wanted the Roosevelt decision in favor of pure whisky set aside. Taft himself, when nobody else would do it for him, wrote the decision that gave the bosses their way. The bosses wanted but why tax patience with the long enumeration! They wanted to run the Administration. Taft has let them.

A vote for Taft in 1908 was surely a vote for the bosses. Why are we to believe it will be different now? The bosses are all for Taft, and Taft is for all of them. It's pretty tough that a member of Congress can't go out to see. the bull game these days without a sergeant-at-armg pestering around and yanking that member back to the House. At least that's what a number of statesmen think today, following the manner In which they were unceremoniously taken from the park late yesterday.

Congressman Roddenbery of Georgia and Congressman Mann of Illinois are responsible for the embarrassment of the statesmen fane. Mr. Roddenbery raised the race question In the House during the consideration of private bills, and Mr. Mann mado a point of no quorum in order to put the members on record on this mooted subject. But eighty-two members were present when the point was made, and It required nearly two hours to find the hundred-odd needed to make a quorum.

Quite a number were located at the park, for the Eergeant-at-Arms had a happy thought as soon as he glanced at the clock and noted the game was on. The Roddenbery amendment proposed that no pension money should be paid to pensioners of African descent until the races are segregated in the several national soldiers' homes. The Georgia member read a letter from a civil war veteran, now In a home, who resented the fact that white and colored inmates occupy the same building, and, in some instances, eat at the same table. Mr. Roddenbery declared the races should be separated, and a number of Southern members voted with him on the roll call.

The amendment was defeated by a vote of 137 to 4J, with thirteen members voting present, the total being just a quorum As the "captive" members came In in groups of three to four a taxlcab load they were much "kidded" by those statesmen who had been marking tlmo awaiting the round-up. "What's the score?" came a voice from the back of the hall. The member addressed was protesting that he had been "attending to official business," when a rain check fell from his hat. The short filibuster of Congressman Roddenbery came unexpectedly, and the House fans had deemed it entirely safe to ventuie out to the ball park. PENSION QUESTION BEFORE THE HOUSE NEW YORK, May 11.

The appellate division of the supreme court, first department, dismissed the writ of habeas corpus Issued by Justice Gerard. February 0, releasing Folke E. Brandt from the cuetody of Harrv M. Kaiser, warden of Dannemora prison. Brandt was immediately arrested on a bench warrant Issued by Judge O'SulIivan of general sessions, and at 4:30 o'clock yesterday again became a prisoner In the Tombs.

Justice Miller wrote the opinion, which declares that Judgo Roealsky committed no "error or Irregularity" In sentencing Brandt to thirty years imprisonment for burglary In the first degree, upon his plea of guilty to a charge of having broken into the homo of Mortimer L. Schlff, by whom he had been employed as a servant. Tho Justices of the appellate division uiiammouBiy concurred in justice Miller's opinion, and Presiding Justice Ingraham added to it a supplementary opinion In which he broadly intimated his belief that any action in Brandt's behalf at this time came four years too late. me craer or tho uppoimte division carrying Into effect yesterday's decision, will be entered Monday. At that time Mltabeau I Towns, attorney for Martin F.

Hubert, "next friend" of Br.tndt In tho proceedings for his release, will make application for per-mlHxIonl to carry tho case to the court ofapneals. The permission will undoubtedly bo granted, and formal no-tlco of appeal will then bo given. ny tho order of tha appellate division Prandt will be forthwith remanded to the of Warden Kaiser. It Is. however, th belief of his counsel that an appeal will act as a stay, and that the vouthful Scandanavlan miiv remain In the Tombs pending argument.

If not a deolslon, upon the prayer to the court of appeals. No application for the man's release upon ball Is contemplated at this time, nlthough It Is Status of Brandt Defined by Counsel "Brandt's utatus Is this: He must remain in custody of the sheriff thirty days, which Is the time allowed In which to take an appeal, and at any tlmo dur. Ing that period he can furnish ball conditioned on his guaranteeing that he will appear be. foro tho nppellato division af. ter tho decision of the court of appeals and abide by the of that tribunal.

"As soon ns tho order of tho ap. pellate dirlsion la filed, which will bo on Monday, notice of appeal will be served. "This notice will act as a stay to prevent him from being re-moved to Dannemora until bis appeal has been decided. This stay Is absolute for thirty days, and in case ho gives ball, will continue until bis appeal has been heard and disposed of." Statement to counsel for Brandt. WHOLE TBI ID" COIKott held tlint the appellate division might admit him to release under bond.

Mi.nduy, June Is the last day upon which argument may be made in the couit of appeals before Its adjournment for tho Humintr. Mr. Towns hopes to be able to carry the case up before that time, and to have It given such preference as will permit a decision before adjournment. In the event of a confirmation of the appellate division's decision, thera still remains recourse to the Supreme Court of the United States. This possibility has teen seriously considered throughout the proceedings, especially bccauHs Brandt Ib not an American citlzena.

Address MAIL DAG EDITOn OF TUB TIMES. I OHIO'S POLITICAL FLUX. There is vastly more to the Ohio turmoil over electing delegates to the two great national conventions than the personalities of the candidates i involved. Probably in no other State is the issue more clearly and squarely drawn upon principles rather than men.

Both Taft and Harmon are Ohio men, yet in spite of this fact which should, under the old order of things, leave them without opposition in their own territory, they are both facing a terrific fight. Ohio is passing through that transition that Kansas, Oregon, Iowa, and Wisconsin experienced I some time since, that California has just passed through, and Pennsylvania is rtow experiencing. Ohio is becoming progressive. The reaction has commenced. Until two years ago it was numbered 1 among the States that were hopelessly machine- Between the humane, practical, considerate, and statesmanly measure which Senator Cummins has had reported from his Civil Service Committee for retirement and pensioning of civil service employes, and the brutal, demoralizing proposal of coolly forcing people out of the service at sixty-five years of age, there is a great gulf fixed.

Senator Cummins has, by dint of long application and study, placed this civil service problem on a new plane. He has put it before Congress in a form that assures consideration of its real merits, its vast complexities and profound difficulties. Senator Cummins has employed the most expert actuarial assistance in working out his plan. It proposes to establish, in approximately twenty years, a balance between the contributions of the employes, and the cost of the pensions that shall be paid those who are retired, and thus make the scheme carry itself without direct contribution from the Treasury. But meanwhile, because there is now such a great accumulation of superannuated workers, it will be necessary for the Treasury to invest a considerable annual sum in direct payment of their pensions.

This is the penalty that the Government must pay for its long period of neglect of this difficult question. The longer action is postponed, the greater will be tho cost of doing the thing in this the only right way, or else the greater will be the inhumanity of doing it by lopping off the superannuates. Gentlemen may be never so sincere in their protests, on principle, against creating a civil pension list. But the fact stands that in some fashion or other it must be done. If a great industrial cor poration finds, after hard-headed experiment, that it is sound business that it pays to adopt such a system, what excuse can the Government, which ought to be a model employer, find for doing less for its army of faithful workers? No other employer of large bodies of workers has so much difficulty in retaining the best and most efficient; and the reason is plain.

The Government pays small salaries, provides sadly limited opportunity for advancement, and gives no consideration at all to the ultimate future of its people. Private employment is more attractive; the Government service is become too much a training school from which people go out at the first opportunity to seize the more attractive and remunerative chances that the general business world affords, Such a condition can make only for a lower and lower standard of efficiency and stability in the Government service. Something based on the Cummins scheme will at length have to be made law. The longer the delay, the more its inauguration will cost. Why not do it now? and, owing to tha dlspobltlon of Senator Heyburn to aemana demand nrotracted con sideration.

Senator Galllnger was prevented Friday from pressing the bill to passage, ho win Drinc im inm-er up again at an early date. Oiled Mail Pouches As Life Preservers Mall bags soaked In oil, not only make excellent life preservers, but they fur nish all the necessities for a comfortable camping out on the ocean, according to W. E. Bahr, of Lincoln, whn la Rt the Drlscoll Hotel. Mr.

Bahr says that ail the passengers OI II1Q nitiiiii; tuum imvc uccii mvdui had they thrown over the mall bags that wont down with the ship. These bans uoaked in oil. he said, would have served for life preservers and kept out the cold. Three bags would carry a man, ana a number or Dags rastenea together would carry a whole party. Bags might have been burned, he says to light up the ocean, and show the way for the gathering ofthe lifeboats and the coming of the Carpathla.

Also he says burning bags could have been utilized to warm the survivors, cook coffe, heat soup, or meat, and generally make the turvlvors comfortable and fortify them against the cold.

I have read your editorial In Tuesday's Times under the caption of "President Taft and the Bosses." In this editorial you endeavor to make It appear that President Taft haa formed an alliance with the odtus George B.

Cox. You certainly do not expect any person who has the sllghtost familiarity with Ohio politics to accept your statement as being true? It was President Tntt In his Akron speech of 1905 who was responsible for Cox's over-thiow. That speech resulted in the do-feat of Governor Herrlck and the election of Judson Harmon. It was fearless and to the point. Is it powlble that you are deluding yourself with the belief that the public has forgotten tho Intimacy that bus always existed between Roosevelt and Boss CoxT Do you recall the fact that after the Hamilton Club episode, when Roosevelt dra-matically declined to sit at the same festal board with William Lorimer, the redoubtable colonel visited Cincinnati and attended a dinner given by Nick Longworth? Sitting at his right at this dinner was George B.

Cox Roosevelt, according to press reports, devoted his entire conversation to tho bow. It may be that the exigencies of Nick's political fortunes caused (Roosevelt to fawn upon Cox and to curry favor with him. It must not be forgotten, however, that George B. Cox controlled all of the Federal appointments while Roosevelt was President, and that no nppolntment has been made In Cincinnati by President Taft upon the recommendation of Cox. As a nr tart the.

Federal appointees In Cincinnati today are all men who are antagonistic to The Boss. While I hope to see Lorimer ousted yet I am free to say that he Is as Dure as the driven snow when compared to the odlus Cox. Roosevelt was Cox 8 friend when was President, and Is hlB friend today because his son-in-law needs his suport. At no.time in his life has President Taft ever trained with tho Cox machine In Cincinnati and your attempt to make It appear otherwise would be laughable were It not so mendaciously contemptible. Cox, Bill Fllnn.

Bill Ward, and the unspeakable Perkins are the men who are supplying the BlnewH of war for Roosevelt In his bogus fight against the Bosses. This Is a sight fit to make the angels weepl GEORGE A. MILLS. What's on the Program in Washington Today Raise Ei cry thing Except the Clerks' Salaries That Seems to Be Where the Boasted Economy Is Most Efficient. To the Editor of THE TIMEP- Again the poor "Government Clerk" Is the subject for much discussion, and this time aB before, when the great question of economy Is raised, reduc tions and dismissals In the service are what can be expected, Instead of a general Increase of salary In all departments which the clerks had been hoping and praying might be accomplished by Congress during this session; and also trusting to the lawmakers of this great and thriving nation to And it in their hearts to encourage these clerks who have long kept the wheels of the Government machines in motion, by legislating the bill making this general raise In the scale of salaries, which without doubt, would be a greater stimulus for more efficient and faithful service and therefore effect the economical situation for the betterment of the Government, as against the discouraging outlook by reductions and dismissals.

Is not the cost of living In Washington Just as high for the clerks an for the members of Congress, and now with the bill for raising salaries of private secretaries, there will also be a raise In food prices naturally, for the markets and boarding houses in Washington are already raising food stuffs and board, so how can a clerk decently live on present salaries when these conditions exist? Will some one answer the question? SEVERAL CLERKS. OF VISIT QUAKER CITY Twenty-seven States Are Represented in the Delegation Looking Over City.
