Denials Do Not DENY,

r. G. Dunn's newspaper apo1ogtsts
are printing the statements in defense
of his record, and forgetting to print
the documents that call forth the
apology. A constant reader Of the
Pioneer Press, having perused the
reply to the interview of II. C.. Block.
would wonder what it was all about.
He would not know that Mr.. Block,
as member Of the subcommittee on
public accounts and expenditures Of
the last house, has said that the COM
mittee'si report was "whitewash''
obtained by intimidation and cajoIery.
He would not know that the report
was shown to Mr.. Dunn, who was un-
der investigation, before it was pre-
scented to the house. He would not
know that the committee was dined
by Mr.. Dunn, and requested to hurry
the thing out, SO it would not iniure
his candidacy.
These things We're stated in the
Block interview, and the denial, did
not deny them.

after taking so much pains with this
legislative report, should feel ae-

Pre-Convention Politics.

81 The republican politicians are gath
ering in Chicago preparatory to the
ratification meeting to be held next
week.
q 1t is in order to call the convention
ratification meeting because it will
come together for the sole purpose
practically Of endorsing Theodore
Roosevelt. He will be nominated by
reclamation, Senator Fairbanks will
probably be chosen as his associate
on the ticket, platform will be adopt
ed and the republicans will go home
Theodore Roosevelt, what he has done
and what he stands for. The public
generally is not paying very much at
tention to the work of the politicians
and the leaders in this convention.
The great republican masses know
that they are going to have a chance
to vote for Roosevelt and that Is about
all they care for. At no time within
the last quarter Of q century has the
candidate been so largely the issue as
In the present campaign.
At st. Louis the situation will be
different. The outcome there is vet

Gratis are not only hunting for candi-
oates, but for issues, and if the re-
publicans are clever the hunt will be

Winston Churchills recent breakdown In
a speech in parliament recalls to the Eng
lish press similar lapse of memory on
the part Of a member named She'll, in the
house Of commons. She'll was commencing
carefully prepared sentence with the
word necessity when his memory de-
serted him. He repeated necessity three
times and then Sir Robert Peel mischiev-
ously added: us not always the mother
Of invention. A correspondent of the
London Daily Mail gives some instances
of lapse of memory that came under his
own observation, as follows: II was once
staying with a distinguished divine in
Yorkshire, the author of several volumes
of poems and other literary works, and
he too, lost himself in the Lords Prayer.
Moreover, he could not recover himself
when he recommended. I was once at

Firms and Freedom,

schaumann's bullets, which yester-
day gave to Count Bobrikoff, the
cars governor general of the Russian
province of Finland, his death
wound, will not avail to modify the re-
.lentless despotism enthroned at St.
Petersburg.
schaumann is son Of one of the
Flnn1sh senator's and is said to be a
member of the Finnish Patriotic So
clety. Schaumann, like other pat
riots, burning to avenge the loss of
9Flnland's liberties, would see, upon
reflection, that assassinations under
RUSSIAN rule work no betterment for
the oppressed peoples, but rather
stimulate the liberty proclivi-
ties of the oppressors. Thus it has
been with the nihilistic assassinations
In Russia. --"
The case Of Finland is peculiarly
interesting. 1t has been ninety-five
years since Gustavus ". of Sweden
ceded to Alexander I. Of Russia, all

car receiving the country with a
formal pledge, entailed upon his sue
cessors, to protect the Firms in their
religion Iutheran), laws and liber-
ties.
The successors of Alexander T., until
the present understanding and all
legged peace-loving car Nicholas
assembled the throne, recognized the
pledge with tolerable fidelity and
the Firms held on to most Of their old
liberties, but five years ago Nicholas
entered upon a detestable course Of
repression, requiring all Finnish legis-
1ation affecting Finland to be sub
jected to the scrutiny of the imperial
state council, so gagging the provincial
F legislature. Obligatory military
service for five years was ordered, the
men being liable to service outside Of
Finland and the troops being put I'M
der the orders Of the Russian war
minister. A little later the car
ordered the Russian language to be
substituted for the Finnish as the off,
cial tongue, and when the senate OBJ
jected, that legislative body was placed
under the control of the Russian gov
ernor general, who thus was made
head of the Finnish judicial system.
Last year, the car gave. Governor
General Bobrikoff full dictatorial
powers and now every public institu-
ton in Finland has to use the Rus
sian language, altho there are only
5000 persons who speak Russian, out
of the 100000 Inhabitants af the
province.
1t looks, under such conditions, as if
Finnish freedom were disappearing
privilege, and the assassination of
Bobrikoff, yesterday, at Helsingfors,
will doubtless hasten the process Of
classification. Finland looks the fate
of Poland in the face.
Gustavus w., who handed Finland
over to Russia in 1909, did not consult
the best interests of Sweden in doing
so, any more than he consulted the

Forty years ago there was started in
Cincinnati a watchcase factory in
Which all the work was done by a
single pair of hands. Those hands
belonged to John C. Dueber. He was
trained Watchcase maker, and he
performed every operation in the
making of his own cases. To-day he
sits in his office mana ing the affairs
Of a matchmaking plant so large that
its buildings cover acres of ground.
It's employees are numbered by thou
sands, and it's watches are known
wherever honest workmanship and in
trinsic value are appreciated.
In 1886 Mr.. Dueber perfected ali all
lance with the Hampden Watch COM
pany, factory making watch moves
ments at Springfield, Mass. He Sc
cured a tract of land in the growing
and enterprising city of Canton, Ohio,
and upon this ground were erected
the buildings of what is now the i'm
nnense factory Of the Dueber- Hamp-
tory in the world where both the
movement and the case, or the com
plete watch, are made in the same
plant. This move was a step in the
right direction, because it enables the
Dueber-Eampden Watch company
to guarantee both the case and the
movement-which no other company
or cases alone. By manufacturing
movements as well as cases, they
could not be debarred from carry
ing on their business by any boy
colt or combine, though every method
was invoked to cripple, injure and
stop this business.
It is usual to call that one man who
stands for more than all others for
the growth and development of a
single great business a captain of in
dustry," but in the Matchmaking in
dustry John c.. Dueber is more than
captain-he is a general. A captain
leads. but a general plans. The re-
forms that Mr.. Dueber has brought
about in matchmaking, the sturdy OBJ
stinacy-ever confident of success
with which he fought against substi-
tuition, falsehood, depreciation Of pro-
duct, the energy with which he has
conducted his campaign, and finally,
his complete, overwhelming and
conclusive victory, stamp him as
more than mere captain. Let us call
him the General of the Matchmaking
Industry.

WoMAN's BEAUTIFUL AGE

IS It is said that if woman lives in far-
mony with the laws of nature she will
grow more beautiful as she grows older.
She should be more beautiful at 40 than at
l6, if she is not a victim to the ravages Of
disease. Most Of the world famous beau
ties reached their zenith at 40. Helen Of
Troy was first heard of at that age, Cleo
patra was considerably more than 80 when
she first met Antony. Aspasia was 90
