QUIETLY MANAGED BUT GOOD.

Ihere was half air of mystery
throughout the city last night, little
groups were standing on the corners
leIephone bells were ringing telling
sood wives at home that hubbys were
TO De engaged on important business
matters for some time during the
evening, secret conferences were held
and all on account of little private
athletic contest that was to take place
in the Turner hall.
Several well known gentlemen and

oeen invitations sent around quietly
10 number of merchants, office men
/ professional men and others, who
take an interest in the manly art.
At $3.50 O'Clock there were no less
than several hundred gentlemen ga

{ lew OF these were representatives of
the various professions and altogeth-

William c. Erlau, a well known
athlete who visits this city frequent-
ly and numbers numerous friends and

Mr.. Erlau has been member of
the Denver Athletic club for a great

keep in excellent training and never
loses an opportunity to enter friend
ly bout or encourage enthusiasm for
the sport
Mr.. Erlau has been in the city for
a day or two calling on the trade
and of course in that time met many
of his friends. Mr.. Erlau is a man
who would at once stir up enthusiasm
in boxing, being an Appolo Belvedere

Williams they consented to box sever

FREE TRADE DEAD.

A local Democratic paper has
tried to create stir about the
tariff. 1t still harps on tariff for
revenue as being the Democratic
faith but along comes the Wheeling
Register and denies it as follows:
ASouthern Democrats, who once
followed the free trade banner, are
now demanding protection for the
enormous industries that have been
built up in that section under the
protective tariff. They are willing
that there should be reduction in
some schedules, but not those that
protect the industries of the South. !"
So far as Democracy is concerned
none dispute the fact that the South
usually makes the platform and it
is also a fact that, when it comes to
the electoral vote, the Southern
States cast about all Democracy re-
ceiyes. and thus the South must and
does necessarily constitute the Dem
ocratic party and is responsible for
its policies, and since it has so
avowedly declared itelf as the Regis
ter SAYS in favor of the protection
idea, it is not at all likely that there
is any real demand for free trade or
tariff for revenue only. The truth
is the tariff question is not the liy-
ing issue it used to be and today the
country is more uniformly for a
protective system than ever. No
one denies that schedules need revis-
ing from time to time, but the re-
vision will be best made by the Re-
pubicans, who understand the
workings of the tariff system so
much better than the Democrats.
which has been SO impressiycly and
wildly proven.

A Democratic paper or two excuse
the action of Thaw, the slayer of
White, on the grounds that this
country is Republican instead of
Democratic, but the law will not
take the same grounds. Moreover,
if the reason advanced by those DEM
ocratic papers be true, it is certainly
fortunate for the good of society and
the safety of young girls that the
country is Republican, otherwise, ac-
cording to their argument, all the
girls in the country would be ruin
ed. But to be serious about it, the
Telegram makes no such imputation,
but. nevertheless, it can not and will
not be responsible for the insinna-
ton made by these Democratic pa
pers against their own party, as that
is their own affair, and they are
privileged, so far as the Telegram IS
concerned, to make all the insinua-
tons they desire against their own
party. But this paper regrets that
any party paper, or any paper what
eoever, would so arraign a political
party in America.

ing out the reforms he had already
undertaken Mr.. Roosevelt should
add tariff reform on the basis OF

would not that add immensely to his
strength among Independent voters?

case if the Democratic convention

protection plank Of 1Ir. Bgan's own

BRYAN ARDoR DAMPENED.

A dampner has evidently been
placed on the Bryan ardor Of some
Of the lesser Democratic newspaper
lights in this state by the Wheel
ing Register, which is recognized as
the main state organ of Democracy.
The Register after saying the
Philippine question is a dead one
declares thus:
aThe money question was also
considered as settled up to a few
days ago, when Vim. ]. Bryan came
out with his London interview re-
wing the Is to l and the free sill
yer issue. But for Bryan's declara-
lion, the two parties would today
have been virtually agreed on the
money question. But Bryan is the
disturbing element, and his own
declaration considered in light OF
his possible nomination for the presl.
dencv in 1908, makes a realignmeni
of the parties improbable at this
time"

SENAT OR ELK|NS
SAYS new TAX
ARE BEST P0SS
q s 8 5 So

CHARLESTON, July mo,
] am not a candidate for the Presi-
Idency,. said Senator Elkins in an
interview last evening. The Sena-
tor reached the city last evening in
the private car Graceland, over the
Coal s. Coke road. In the party are
the senator's son, Blaine ElElins,
and Superintendent Bowers, of the
Coal & Coke company. Senator
Elkins viii spend several days in
the city. After driving over the
city he was called on by local poll
ticians- and later left with Secretary
of State Swisher to call on Cover
nor Dawson. He talked on the
Coal q Coke, the tax laws, the last
congress and the literary efforts of
David Graham Phillips. Speaking
Of the new tax laws, Senator Elkins,
said: i
ssWe have made the best tax laws
possible and are trying to reduce
taxatin. This was a perilous under
taking, but the Republican party
met it boldly. l Do not say that
the tax laws are now perfect, but
We have made start. Whenever
experience shows it to be necessary
to make changes the Republican
party can be depended to do it.
Under the recent assessment hun
dreds of millions have been added
in the way Of assessment, and this
in effect is equal to adding this
much to the property already pay
ing taxes and viii inevitably reduce
the average. The burden heretofore
has rested upon the smaller volume
Of property. We have a load to.
draw and We have doubled the team,
added another chain of fJst, horses"
Senator Elkins said he did not
mind saying that he put in the rate
bill the four most important amend
ments, switch connection, fair dis
tribution of cars without discrimin-.
alton, prohibiting railroads selling
coal in competition with shippers
and making pipe lines common car
riers, as well as private concerns.
Upon David Graham Philips ar
ticlel on him in his EsTreason Of The
Senate. Senator Elkins said /:
sThe greatest and most mendac-
ious lie in that article is that I am
worth thirty millions. There is no
word of truth IN it and no specific
charge is made. When | conduct
ed the Blaine campaign they alleged
everything against me, but they
could not be specific / have lived
in, West Virginia thirty-three years
and my life has been open and above
board, and rest my career on my
record here. Wherever ! have been
/ have had the confidence Of the peo-
pie. On two occasions I was in
Europe when nominated to congress,
when Phillips says I was land
grabbing. / could not have been
elected if the people had not con-
fdence in me-"
Mr.. Elkins expressed the utmos.
confidence in his reelection to the
senate, saying he had no opposition
save that of the Democrats. He
also said his visit to Charleston was
not of a political nature.

ROOSEVELT AN ISSUE.

While small Democratic newspa-
pers are berating President Roose-
welt with the intent of lowering.
him in the esteem of the public, it
would be well for them to call a
halt and take enough time to read
what the great Democratic newspa-
pers have to say about the matter.
Here is what the New York World
says about Mr.. Roosevelt as an IS
sue:
The Republicans intend that
Mr.. Roosevelt shall be the issue in
the Congress campaign complains
the Buffalo Times. Of course they
do. What better issue can they
have? Not only.is Mr.. Roosevelt
the issue, but apparently the issue
is going to manage the campaign.
This may displease Demccrats, but
no Republican candidate for Office
is likely to complain about either
the issue or the manager.
1T was inevitable that Mr.. Roose-
velt should be the issue in the fall
campaign but how about 1908? Is
it not almost certain that he will be
the issue in the next Presidential
campaign if conditions continue as
they now are? That is a situation
which the Democratic party might
as well face first as last. Let US
examine it.
.Mr. Roosevelt has really done ex-
traordinarily well in the matter Of
curling trusts, monopolies and cor
porations. It is easy enough to say
that he might have done more, but
the fact remains that in coping
with the abuses of organized capital
he has done muchbetter than any OF
his predecessors in the White House
and while -hesh has been doing it he
has succeeded in holding his party
together. He has forced Rate
law, a Meat-Inspection law and a
Pure-Food law through Congress
BE has enforced the Antitrust Law
as none of his predecessors ever
dreamed of doing. He is enforcing
the Anti-Rebate law with vigor and
success. He is moving against the
most powerful and the most unpop-
ular corporation in all the world,
the Standard Oil Company.
ALet us assume that the Demo-
Gratis nominate Mr.. Bryan on q plat
form demanding the curbing Of cor.
porations and the destruction of
trusts and monopolies. Mr.. Roose-
velt has already appropriated these
issues. In large measure he has
made them rs own. Will not his
party demand his denomination on
/ the ground that having instituted
these reforms he is tie logical can
| didate for President in order thai
he may complete his work? VIII
! Mr.. Roosevelt be abe to resist suci
an appeal?
'If it should come to the pincl
of choosing between Mr.. Roosevelt
with his record of substantial
achievement, and an untried execu
| tive like 8fr. Bryan, with handi
cap Of dead issues, would not tn
sober business elements Of th
country select Mr.. Roosevelt as tn
lesser evil? Would not the very
men who are now denouncing hin
for what they call tmeddling witt
business support hun in preference
to somebody who claimed to be ia
more radical?
