One Hundred Years of Peace. 
One hundred years have passed in 
peace. During these great years 
with thousands of miles of unpro- 
tected boundaries the United States 
and Canada have been at peace. A 
centenary of peace is being ar- 
ranged for June 4. On that date 
suitable observances of the day will 
be provided for by a joint commit- 
tee from the United States and 
Great Britain. This is a practice 
lesson in international peace. 
The Stadium Bridge. 
The acceptance of the report of 
Colonel Fred V. Abbott of the 
United States engineer’s office on 
the proposed Stadium Bridge at 
Harvard, will end the long struggle 
for a suitable bridge over the 
Charles river. The gift by Larz 
Anderson was a public benefaction. 
The Colonel’s Greatest Asset 
At last the secret is out. ‘‘My 
greatest asset,’’ says the Colonel, 
‘‘ig that I have never been excited 
over my candidacy one way or the 
other.’’? The calm has indeed been 
almost oppressive. As the lady ob- 
served in a play by one of Maeter- 
linck’s disciples, ‘‘I am calm! I will 
be calm! Oh, my God! how calm 
T am!”’

It is evident from the Californian 
ballot that the women of that state 
had the honor of being the first to 
vote in a Presidential Primary. They 
did not bungle their vote either. 
Would they have fallen on the 
Massachusetts ballot. Of course Not.

MONEY MAKES THE VOTES 
The Roosevelt Barrel Seems to Be 
Kept Well - Filed — Marylanders 
Had Money Enough After the 
Primary—Can Taft Stay This 
Pressure? 
(From the Washington Correspond- 
ence of the Springfield Republican.) 
It is not so much the Roosevelt 
vote or his success or even his utter- 
ances that are now causing discus- 
sion as the size of the barrel the 
Roosevelt people are enjoying and 
who is filling it. It has long been 
have had money to burn and have 
really been burning it. They ap- 
pear not to have to inspect a dol- 
lar twice to see how far it would go, 
but have thrown it out as if it had 
the value of a dime. They have 
paid princely salaries to such agents 
as they have hired, and, indeed, no 
means have apparently been too 
costly for them so long as_ they 
brought results, triumphs at the 
primaries and delegates. 
The lavishness witnessed in Massa- 
chusetts is practised everywhere 
and even augmented in certain 
places. In Maryland so much mon- 
ey was spent among the voters and 
workers that reports reached Wash- 
ington that half the State was 
drunk next day after the primaries, 
and as one congressman put it, “‘the 
Negroes are everywhere riding in 
automobiles.’’ The Negro vote was 
very important; it numbered 12,000 
in Baltimore alone, and Roosevelt 
carried Baltimore. It has been cus- 
tomary to engage Negro voters to 
work for $10 on election day to get 
out the vote and the Taft people 
evident that the Roosevelt people 
in control of the party machinery 
arranged to engage the usual force 
at the customary rate. So they sent 
out checks of $10 apiece, only to 
have them returned with the infor- 
mation added that the workers had 
already accepted checks of $75 
apiece from the Roosevelt people to 
work for them. So Marylanders are 
saying. 
It is being entertained that the 
Roosevelt people have at least $1,- 
000,000 to oil their machinery and 
more should it be needed. Where 
does it come from, many inquire? 
To be sure, Medill and McCormick 
and the Pinchots and Perkinses are 
rich and they have been liberal 
‘Cangels,’’ but there is a limit even 
to their means, and the matter in 
which the coin is pouring out sug- 
gests even more liberal sources, and 
it is being whispered in Washington, 
that the chief ‘‘angel’’ now and the

prince of any ‘‘angels”’ at any time 
ever is C. R. Crane of Chicago, who 
was appointed minister to China, by 
President Taft and recalled before 
he could sail from San Francisco. 
He has felt the ignominy of that 
occurrence tremendously, it is said, 
and is out for revenge. One report 
has it that the sum given by him is 
only $500,000, but that a million is 
at the command of the Roosevelt 
people to beat Taft if it shall be 
necessary. 
The affluence of the Roosevelt 
people is also causing grave concern 
for the ability of the Taft forces to 
retain the allegiance of the south- 
ern delegates so far elected, and 
such still to be elected. The south- 
ern delegate, according to tradition, 
knows the value of his vote and 
adjusts his predelictions with sur- 
prising agility, according to the ap- 
preciation of its worth by others. 
Tn the 1896 convention Mark Hanna 
complained bitterly that the south- 
ern delegates would not stay bought, 
but had to be secured over and over 
again, and at rates that rose pro- 
gressively. Can the Taft southern 
delegates withstand the blandish- 
ments the Roosevelt people may .em- 
ploy? If not, apparently the Taft 
cause will be in considerable jeo- 
pardy. Ormsby McHarg, one of the 
Roosevelt agents, has been very in- 
dustrious in the south, and there 
have been reports of some change 
in sentiment among certain of the 
Taft delegates, but it is to be noted 
that Senator Sanders of Tennessee, 
says that the new southern delegates 
are a different type of men from the 
old, being honorable and steadfast 
in their allegiance and true to their 
promises and instructions. If this is. 
so, the Roosevelt invitations will 
prove no allurement. It is to be 
noted, too, that the Roosevelt people 
continue arranging contests in the 
south, which might be taken as an 
indication that they have met with 
some disappointments in their quest 
to convert Taft delegates.
