CHALLENGE IS NOT ACCEPTED
NEW YORK YACHT CLUB RE-
FUSES LIPToN's RACE OFFER.
The Refusal Is Because Sir Thomas
Proposed to Limit the Size of the
Boats - Decision of Clubs
Members Unanimous.

New York City. Sir Thomas
Liptons challenge for a contest for
the Americas cup in 1908 was declin-
ed last night by the New York Yacht
club. Sir Thomas asked for race of
sloops under the 68-foot rating and
the members of the club based their
refusal to race on the general propo-
sition that the Americas cup repre-
sents a trophy for the speediest type
of yacht that can be produced on a
water line length of 80 feet or under
and that, therefore, any proposition
to limit the size of the boats must be
refused.
The members of the New York
Yacht club at the meeting called to
consider Sir Thomas fourth challenge
for cup race, voted unanimously to
reject the challenge, after Lewis Cass
Ledyard, former commodore of the
club, made a speech in which he de-
scribed the deed of gift governing cup
contests as drawn up by George l..
Schuyler in 1887. Mr.. Ledyard pre-
scented a resolution declaring that the
club could not take the position of
limiting the water line length of the
boats under the deed of gift
Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt,
chairman of the meeting, appointed a
cup committee to convene immediate.
ly after the meeting and prepare a
reply to the challenge. The cup com
mittee made up of Commodore Van
derbilt, j. p Morgan, Lewis Casa Led
yard. f. ID. Morgan, f. G.. Bourne,
Henry Walters, Rogers Maxwell and
Oliver lSelin had a session which con-
tinued long after midnight.
The sentiment OF the club members
at the meeting was that the Reliance,
the winner of the last Americas cup
races, was still an unbeaten boat and
that the race for the blue ribbon of
the seas with smaller and therefore
slower boats, was out of the ques-
ton. Mr.. Ledyard made the only
speech at the meeting, which was at
tended by nearly 200 members OF the
club.

THE TRIAL OF SENATOR BoRAH.
The Second Witness for the Prosecu.
ton Admits that He Is Perjurer

Boise, Idaho. - The first excite
ment in the trial OF United States
Senator William f. Borah for alleged
conspiracy in land frauds came We'd
neSday when Albert Nugent. the Sec
ond witness produced by the govern.
ment, admitted on crosS-eXamination
that he committed perjury in taking
out timber land claim; admitted
that he had been promised absolute
immunity by an officer OF the federal
government for testifying; admitted
that at the request of the federal of
1icer he had sworn to a complaint
against man whom he did not know.
and proclaimed that he believed it to
be part of his bargain for his immun-
ity that he should swear to any COM
pIaint against any person, regardless
of any knowledge that he might have
as to the persons guilt. When the
name of the federal officer who in
duced him to sign the complaint was
asked by Senator Borah's counsel the
witness swore that he could not give
it.
The day was given over to the in
PRODUCTION OF a mass of paper on file
at the land Office at Boise and to the
evidence Of two men who said they
received money from John l. Wells
with which to prove their timber land
claims. Wells is one of the men in
dicted with Borah. Counsel for the
senator did not object to this testi-
mony.
The defense scored it's first point of
the trial in the examination of the
first witness, A. A. Anderson. He was
asked by Special Prosecutor Rush
what his intent was when he took out
a timber claim. Judge Whitson sus-
tanned an objection, based on the
ground that man confessing perjury
could not properly testify as to any
secret intent he may have had.
Anderson and Nugent both testified
that they received from John /. Wells
$4l2 Nith which to prove their claims
and each received $3.50 additional for
transferring the claims to the Barber
Lumber Co.'S interests. Two bills
given to the men by Wells and let
ter from Wells to Nugent were admit
ted in evidence. Anderson, an elderly
Swede was not crOSS-e8amined.
Prosecutor Rush asked Nugent
when any officer of the government
had ever asked him to swear falsely.
Nugent replied that he had always
been told to tell nothing but the truth.

ALL DUE TO PROTECTION.
Prosperity in the Past Has Had But
One Source.

In an address at Marshfield, Mass,
August %, Congressman Mccall said:
I'VE are pretty near the edge of a
financial setback. Economically an in
dustrial crisis at this time would be
senseless and wanton, but we should
already have had one if our prosperity
had not been well nigh invulnerable,"
What was it that in the past ten
years has made our prosperity well
nigh invulnerable?
Production at the maximum and
consumption keeping pace with pro-
duction.
Abundance of employment at the
highest wages ever known.
Liberal buying by wage earners at
prices remunerative to both manufac-
turer and merchant.
A money market kept steady by ia.
vorable trade balances averaging
close to half billion dollars a year.
These were the prime factors of our
rock-rooted prosperity.
What has shaken the foundations Of
that prosperity?
An insane rage for the disturbance
of sound economic laws and ideal eco
nomic conditions, coupled with i'll
judged fulminations against "preda-
tory wealth" and no word of reproach
for predatory political wreckers of
business stability. O.
Foolish and probably unlawful
trade agreements" designed to take
work and wages away from American
labor and hand them over to foreign
ers.

Call might truthfully say: "All Of
which | saw and part of which | was"

How Cuban Reciprocity Works.

The roundup of trade with Cuba
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1907, does not show well for the wis
dom which opened the door to a mar
ket of S5,000,000 consumers, the most
liberal on earth, in return for some
few extra privileges in a market of
less than 100000 of relatively small
consumers.
Even as a proposition in philan-
thropy our reciprocity experiment
with Cuba has not been shining sue
cess. Briefly stated, our generosity in
allowing the Cubans q rebate of tar
if payments on their exports of sugar,
tobacco and a few other things repre-
sents a money loss to this country Of
rather more than $4,000, 600 year.
In 1907 we bought of Cuba products
worth T441 $50 and we sold to Cuba
our products TO the value of $4S,-
$50, ,913.
The difference between our sales to
and our purchases from Cuba was
$49,111,777. Close upon $50,00O0 600
went out of our money supply and was
used by Cuba in purchasing from for
eign countries commodities which for
the most part Cuba could, had she felt
so inclined, have bought in the United
States.
Then, too, on that nearly $9S,00O,O0
of imports we granted . tariff rebate
of 20 per cent. In this way some
thing like $15,OO0,O00 or $20,00O000
was kept from going into the United
States treasury.
Add to the adverse trade balance
Of nearly $50,000,00O the amount lost
in treasury revenue and you have a
pretty big total representing the cost
of our philanthropical reciprocity
with Cuba. Somebody is making big
money out of the deal, but it is not
the United States.

The nRaalU Prnsneritu

At the present time one cannot but
pause and marvel at the unparalleled
prosperity which now hovers over this
progressive nation. Every industry
throughout the country is fourishng
as never before, and a full dilner
pail confronts every tradesman and
aborer who is willing TO toll. From
east 10 west and from north to south
comes the demand for men; harvest
time is at hand and some industries
may suffer for lack of help. There
is no excuse for single idler in the
United States under present condi-
tons, neither has there been for some
years past-but just now the field OF
opportunity is broader and better than
ever And the end is not yet: ad-
yanccment is certain whore confidence
is so pronounced and general. The
country is without a serf or slave.
and with plenty of work at good wages
should inspire everyone with a desire,
from political standpoint, to leave
well enough alone. Just now there is
dearth Of political talk, but never
theless, it is well to remember that
invariably times are good while the
Republican party holds in. And who
would care to, or can truthfully deny
it? Let's have no thought of going
back to the dark period of few
years ago.-Wyoming Press.
