that story printed in the New York
World, a couple of months ago, to the
effect that Charles P. Taft, half-brother
to the war secretary, had up to that
time expended $4,000 in his efforts
to control the convention. Mark Hanna
is said to have spent half million to
secure the nomination of the lamented
Mckinley, while w. r. Hearst let go CT
at least a quarter of a million in his
vain attempt to land the democratic
nomination four years ago. Thus, it
will be seen that, compared with the
big pro-convention spenders of the
last two decades, Charles P. is nothing
of piker. And apparently, Charles P.
and William HIS managers are proud
of it.

TAFT AND GRANT

The dispatches these days are filled
with convention rumors from Chi
cagO. and many of them will be taken
by the general reader with more than
the customary allowance of salt.
On the face of the returns it looks as
if Secretary Taft would get the nomin-
alton. Bearing in mind that he had
back of him the full power of the Roose
Welt administration. and bearing in
mind also that up to date the Taft fam
lily has been put almost a million dol
lars nearer the rOor-house by the Wig
orous state-to-state search for dele
gates, it would appear to the proverbial
man up tree that unless somebody
reneges the nomination will be handed

EMMA GOLDMAN.

It is refreshing to note that, aside
from one or two notable instances,
Emma Goldman. high priestess of an
arc.,ism has been permitted to speak
without molestation in the various
cities of the northwest she has recently
visited.
During recent years some mistaken
police officers throughout the country
have taken it into their heads that the
proper way to stop the spread of an
archy. and even socialism, was to pre-
vent the leaders of these parties from
exercising their constitutional right of
free speech. and by the free use of po-
lice clubs on the heads of those who
had gathered to listen to the discOurses.
This action. of course, has just the OPP
posite effect, and many people began
to look upon the agitators as class
of martyrs, and thus the anarchistic
and socialistc creeds grew by leaps
and bounds. The American people
love fair play, although they some
times take peculiar methods of dis
playing it.
For instance. when the military au-
thorities at Portland punished a pri-
vate who had been guilty of shaking
hands with Emma Goldman, giving
the soldier three years in prison for
this henious offense, the commissioned
officers of Uncle Sans army probably
developed more anarchistic sympa-
ti1izers than Emma had in her last half
dozen speeches.
The great majority of right minded
people believe that the So
called Christian anarchy-such as
Emma Goldman preaches-is a
Utopian dream; that the blood
thirsty anarchy such as the
European and Patterson, N. j., anar-
CnlStS prdct1ce, is common lnurueT,
and that socialism is an impracticable
scheme to permit the lazy man to earn
as much as the Industrious man.
These are the commonly accepted
views, and there are not enough rheto-
rical legerdermain artists in the whole
world to convince the people that these
views are wrong.
But whenever the so-called "author-
ties attempt to suppress free speech
by the use of force. when outlawry
manifests itself in brass buttons and
shoulder straps. a lot of right minded
people are liable to consider the cure
worse than the evil-and embrace the
evil

There's a moon not too Obstrusive,
Sort of misty and delusive,
Frequently and OPPORTUNITY hiding,

And a maiden, sweet and pretty,
Not too solemn or too witty,
Down a country lane a-walking, free
from madding, gadding crowds,
With a youth, in love aplenty,
Probably some five-and twenty:
And heart that's lifting Sweet, oh,

And kiss-Ah, these things happen
