back, there Is little document on re-
cord in Washington, another in New
York, and still another in Nassau,
where his Oyster Bay home is situated,
which take all the steam out Of
"Teddy's" claims.
Each little document is clear evidence
that Mr.. Roosevelt never missed
chance to avoid paying his Just portion
of the taxes Of the community in which
he had property. Probably the exciting
times which have intervened to hold
Theodore's attention since the filing OF
the papers which impeach his asser-
tions have caused lapse in memory

Is something which may wake up Mr..

March, 1898.
EDWIN P. HANNA,
Notary Public.
The following statements of reliable
officials who knew of Roosevelt's tax
lodging proclivities will have to be
proved false before he can be. cleared
of the charge. The first is by Tax As
SCISSOR Trimble of the District of Co.
lumbia- He says Roosevelt never paid
taxes while in Washington. Mr.. Trim
ble's statement is as follows:
You can say that Theodore Roose-
welt did not pay any taxes during his
residence in Washington. Officially we
do not know of Col. Roosevelt in this
Office. and had no dealings with him"
The way Roosevelt escaped paying
his New York taxes was by fling affi-
davit that he was living elsewhere. In
Oyster Bay, in 1897, he made affidavit
that he did not start paying until 1898.
Commissioner Thomas L. Feitner, of
New York:
'"The year 1898 Is the first time in
which Theodore Roosevelt's name ap-
pears on the tax list of the city of
New York. He paid no taxes here in
1897, or in any other year."
Tax Assessor Waldron, Of Nassau,
puts this crimp in Theodores claim TO
honesty:
Theodore Roosevelt paid taxes in
Oyster Bay for twelve years, but did
not pay in 1897. He made an affidavit
then that he was paying personal taxes
in New York city, and he was dropped
from the list. Chicago American.

remain here until after the presidential
election in the United States. when he
will return to the Philippines. To a
correspondent Of the Chicago American
he said:

in which he enclosed map showing
his palace in Luzon, where he now is
From this palace he issues orders and
rules, undisturbed by the American SOL
diers. Aguinaldo personifies the aspira-
tions Of his people. The only way Nc
Kinley can end these aspirations is by
putting twelve millions of Filipinos to
the sword
'The American people want CONNER
cial privileges and advantages in the
Philippines and not our liberty. We
are perfectly willing to grant these ad-
vantages, but Mckinley, who has al
ways been a tool of England and car
ried out the British policy, would not
listen. We have confidence In the
American people, but we have no con-
fidence in the present government at
Washington.
''The Philippines are not conquered
as yet. The Americans capture town
today, and il they leave it its recapture
becomes necessary within a week.
AguinaldO is as safe in his palace on
the Island of Luzon as Mckinley is in
