A SEVENTEEN THOUSAND DOLLAR
FALSEHOOD SHOWN.


FALsEHooD SHOWN.
Take the first item in the pub
lie examiners report which says
that $17,225, for pine cut on sec
tion 16 $500 was not paid. State
Auditor Iverson certifies that
this money was paid into the
state treasury on August Ii,
1894 and that the pine land investi-
eating committee reported the
collection of this money to the
state legislature, filing it's report
with the governor on Dec. Fl,
1894.
Sections 33-58-19 and 36.59-I9
the second item in the public ex-
aminer's report and the second
and third items in the state au-
ditor's statement, is also cited to
show the,falsity of the public ex-
aminer's statements. He alleges
that no effort was made to collect
the balance of the money due the
state for timber cut from this
land. The state auditor certifes
that the cutting was done before
State Auditor Dunn assumed
office, for the most part, and that
the timber had been shipped out
of the state. State Auditor liver
son also certifes that Mr.. Dunn
placed thecollection of the money
for this trespass in the hands of
the proper state officials, namely,
the state treasurer and the attor-
ney- general and that they fol-
lowed the timber to Cleveland.
Ohio, and that the attorney gen
eral collected $780, which was
turned into the treasury, but
was unable to collect any more
as the tresspasser was bank
rupt and his bondsmen were fl
nancially irresponsible.
ANOTHER SAMPLE OF MISREPRE
SENTATIoN.
1858 The public examiner
among other misleading and false
statements says cruiser McKen-
zie reported that the section had
been cut south and west and that
no payments had been made be-
cause Of this cutting. State Au-
ditor Iverson certifes that cruis-
er Mckenzie reported that the
tim Der was being cut on the
lands adjoining this section of
state land and that there had not
been any cutting on the state
land.
16-52-12. Public examiner re-
ports that cruiser Mckenzie
made an estimate of the timber
on this land and reported that
there had been cutting done on
this land but the records do not
show who did this alleged cutting
or how much was cut. State
Auditor Iyerson certifes that the
exact language of cruiser Nc
Kennels report was this: ''New
cutting which means that the
tim Der had never been cut into
and that no cutting had been
done. The cruiser does not say
that anything was ever cut on
this section, and the public ex-
aminer's statement is an abso-
Lutte falsehood.
36 1912. The public examiner
makes similar false statement
regarding this section. He says
the cruiser reported "that there
were new cuttings and that he
estimated the amount of timber
still standing at 100000" and
he further alleges that the re-

without causing the slightest distur
bance to business conditions.

That whenever the need arises there
should be a reimbursement OF the tariff
schedules Is undoubted; but such
changes can with safety be made on
ly by those whose devotion to the
psinciple OF protective tariff is beyond
question; for otherwise the changes
would amount not to readjustment
but to repeal. The REIMBURSEMENT
when made must maintain and not
destroy the protective principle.

In all of this we are more fortunate

In the last eight years they have laid
down as vital, and to leave undisturb'

tion because OF which they ask that
the administration itself be driven
from power.
Seemingly their present attitude as
to their past record Is that some OF
them were mistaken and others insin-

Our toothold in the Philippines
greatly strengthens our position in

pine people themselves We have al

their government, and our purpose Is
to increase this share as rapidly as
they give evidence of increasing fit
ness for the task. The great majori-
ty Of the officials of the islands
whether elective CT appointive, are al

This is the first step to be taken In
the future; and 1t would be eminently
uuwise to declare what our next step
will be until this first step has been
taken aud the results are manifest.
To have gone faster than we have al
ready gone in giving the islanders a
constantly increasing measure of self

In the Caribbean Sea we have
made good our promises OF independ-

assertion that our mission In the
island was one of justice and not OF
self aggrandlzement; and thereby no

and Panama we have shown that the
Monroe Doctrine Is a living reality,
designed for the hurt OF no nation, but
for the protection of civilization on
the western continent, and for the
peace OF the world. Our steady
growth In power has gone hand In
hand with a strengthening disposition
to use this power with strict regard
for the rights OF others, and for the
cause OF international justice and good

STRIKING PASSAGES
From ROoSeyelt'S Speech Accept,
ing the Nomination for
President.

Three years ago l became President
because Of the death of my lamented
predecessor. l then stated that 1t
was my purpose to carry out his
principles and policies for the honor
and the interests of the country. To
the best of my ability I have kept
the promise thus made. If next No
vember my countrymen confirm at
the polls the action of the conven-
tlon you represent, I shall, under
Providence, continue to work with an
eye single to the welfare OF all our
people.
We who have been Entrusted with
power as public servants during the
past seven years Of administration
and legislation now come before the
people content to be judged by oui
record of achievement. In the years
that have gone by we have made the
deed square with the word; and If we
are continued In power we shall un'
swervingly follow out the great lines
of public policy which the Republican
party has already laid down; public
policy to which we are giving ant
shall give a united, and therefore ar
efficient support.

1t Is singular fact that the only
great reciprocity treaty recently
adopted-that with Cuba--was final
ly opposed almost alone by the rep
resentatives OF the very party which
now states that it favors reciprocity.
And here again we ask that the worth
of our words be judged by compar
Ing their deeds with ours.

ty. We hold that the prosperity OF
each nation Is an aid and not
hindiance to the prosperity of
other rations. We seek international
amity for the same reasons that make
us believe in peace within our own
borders; and we seek this peace not
because we are afraid or unready, but
because we think that peace Is right
as well as advantageous.

The Isthmian Canal Is now being

Is unwise to intrust the carrying out
OF 80 momentous policy to those

whole undertaking.

We recognize the organization OF
capital and the organization OF labor
as natural outcomes of our industrial
system. Each kind of organization
Is to be favored so long as 1t acts in a
spirit of justice and of regard for the
rights of others. Each isto be graut-
ed the obedience to the law; for no
man Is above 1t and no man Is below
It. The humblest individual Is to
have his rights safeguarde6 as scru'
pulously as those of the strongest or
ganization for each Is to receive JUS
tice, no more and no less. The prob
lens with which we have to deal In
our modern Industrial and social life
are manifold; but the spirit In which
it Is necessary to approach their So
luton Is simply the spirit ofhone sty,
of courage and OF common sense.

Base Ball.

Columbus should by all means
organize a base ball club to join
one of the many State leagues
and to furnish amusement for
the dull summer days which are
before US. There is no primary
election to enlist interest and en-
thusiasm this season, and with
nearly every town Of it's size in
the South already in the field
seeking games. it would be an
easy matter to organize a club
here upon a permanent and pay
ing basis. We have ideal grounds
and supporters of the game
without mum Der and all that is
needed is a manager. Won t
some enterprising and public
spirited citizen, in touch with the
national sport, come forward and
take the place?
Apropos of base ball reminds
US that an effort is being made to
have great game here on the
afternoon of Decoration Day be
| tween some of the colleges for
the benefit of some local charity
or enterprise. Several of tie
college teams have been written
to and we may expect to see a
fine exhibition on that occasion

day that Mr.. Thos. Locke con-
tenn plates managing an all-pro-
fessional baseball team in this
C .ty this year and playing the
game here Mr.. Locke has just
returned from Shreveport and
other Southern and Cotton States
league cities and he has investi-
gated the baseball situation thor
Oughly and finds that it is feas-
IDLE to play professional ball here
upon a paying basis. Mr.. Locke
states that all of the Southern
leagues will soon begin to release
good players, and as it is too late
for these men to make engage
ments in the larger leagues, they
will be content to play in the
smaller towns until next season.
He has the matter under consid-
Grafton, and if he can get some
one interested with him Colum-
bus will have an all-star nine rep
