 All except members of the National Committee were excluded from the room at 4;lb p. m, and few minutes iater " was known that the Taft dele- gates had been seated.
 The Arkansas contest fnvolvfne sba two delegates from the Fifth Congree- sional District, was then taken up only half an hour was devoted to 1t, and the committee voted without a dis senttng voice to seat the delegation in- structed for Secretary Taft.

 All of the members of the committee were present in person except fifteen. and thirteen of these were represented by proxies.
 Anti-Taft Men Meet.
 Tonight a meeting was held in the room of Senator Hemenway of Indi- ana, at the Auditorium Annex. which was attended by representatives of Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, Vice. President Fairbanks and Joseph G.. Cannon. A statement was prepared which says in effect.
 Contest between Republicans has been considered and decided by those regularly and properly chosen Tor that purpose, and by them only when they can honestly consider the merits of each case in a judicial frame of mind"
 The statement further declares that if Secretary Taft has, as his friends claim. a majority of the National Com mittee. the presence of Messrs.

in different sections of the country is

In the Middle West the indications
are uniavorabe to Republican success.

puollcans. In Illinois also the chances
Of Republican success are far from

lMMIGR RATION.

The large falling off of immigration
since the business depression began has
already been noticed. That it persists
il shown by the returns for the month
Of July last past The number of immi-
grants during that month was 2i,75O,
against 91132 in July, 1907, decrease
of 12 per cent.
The greatest decrease from any coun.
try was from Russia the immigration
falling from 24,911 20 q, 1913, or II per
cent. This, however, was so near the
general average that no considerable
difference il to be noted in the immigra-
ton from different countries.
The reason for this reduction is the
same with reference to all the countries
from which immigrants come. Oppor-
tunities for employment have declined
and our country no longer presents the
same attractions for immigrants that
it did y year ago, and consequently
the number coming has declined about
three fourthH
The number of persons debarred dur
ing July was 537, compared with l,24l
| in July 1907, or ~ per cent Thus the
number of persons shut ont did not de
cline so much IA the total number of
immigrants This appears to show that
with the reduced attractions of this
country for immigrants the efforts to
evade the law have been reduced in
number. There is no longer the same
temptation to disregard the law that
was presented in mole prosperous times.
Fol- the months that ended July 81 the
immigration from all countries was
1913, 0OG, against 7SG, G67 for the same
period last year, "a decrease Of 70 per
cent So it will be seen that the de-
crease in July was little less than for
the 4ix months, but the difference is
hardly large enough to indicate any
marked improvements in conditions
These figures are instructive M show
ing how largely immigration is infuenc-
ed 10y the probabilities of employment
and The matter Of wages We often
flatter ourselves that our institutions,
by their freedom, are an attraction to
foreigners, but the fact il that the OPP.
portunity of earning money attracts
many more people than are affected by
any sentimental regard fer free institu

1t is clear that there is no reason fol
predictions of disaster in the event oil
Mr.. organs election, and one would
think that the Republicans had done in
iury enough to the business of the coun-
try to refrain from the old style of pro
phecv that Democratic success is always
bad for business, while Republican vic
tories are succeeded by prosperity. The
conspicuous inaccuracy of this assertion
has been demonstrated within a year.
The people are no longer so easily to de-
lude upon this point.
Mr. Bryan's review of the last three
great panics the only ones that have
occurred since the Republicans came IN
to power-showed that they all took
place under Republican auspices. The
manic of 1873 followed great Republi
can victory. That Of last year came
after more than ten years Of Republican
rule. The panic of 1898 came SO soon
after the advent Of a Democratic adj
minis.ration that il must have been
caused by the acts of the Republicans,
for the Democrats had enacted no iegis-
lation before it began. 1t occurred I'M
der the operation of laws passed by the
Republicans.
1t is conceded on all sides that recov-
erv from panic conditions is largely de
pendent upon confidence. During the
acute stage of last year panic the Demo
Gratis contributed what they could to
restore confidence and thereby the re
sultng evils were diminished But the
Republicans are so intent upon holding
on to the power that they have abused
that they refrain from telling their fol
lowers that return Of prosperity is not
dependent upon the success of any one
party. This is their bounden duty, but
they are singularly obliviou4 to the need
of the country for reform, If they lose
the elections this year it is no more
than usual for party after panic and
they should be prepared for it.

REMEMBERED ONLY TOO WELL,
Farmer Used WelI-learned Phrase at
Unfortunate Time.

A certain wealthy farmer, who
owned broad acres in an aristocratic
section of the Bay State not so far
distant from Boston, figured among
his neighbors as something of a dia-
mond in the rough. One of his strong
est predictions was to exploit his
rather stiff opinions of persons in
terms that could not be mistaken. His
two daughters had social aspirations,
in the interest of which they had to
give frequent lectures on the social
usages of the community.
when you find that you simply
must let out your opinions of the peo-
pie you meet the doting parent was
instructed, please always preface
your remarks with the qualifying
clause, present company excepted. -
1t happened that the aspiring daugh-
tiers were giving a dinner that same
night at which they fondiy hoped to
give the family a big social boost.
Papa got severe drilling as to his
table manners, and sat at the head Of
the family table with no little trepida-
ton. Under the inspiring influence
of the wine however, he thawed out
perceptibly, and soon was unburden-
ing his soul of all the opinions that
had accumulated in the course of the
dinner. Incidentally he gave a vivid
account of all that impressed him the
day before when he attended the
county fair, which was something Of
an event in the countryside.
Yes, Stree" went on the loquacious
family head Il seen things that was

The speaker could not understand
how it was that none of the guests en-

not until his daughters got chance
to tell him.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1908.

In an article discussing the political
outlook, Henry Watterson says in
the campaign Of 1854 our slogan was
'Tu1n the rascals ont Since every
rascal exposed by Roosevelt is still AT
large, and az defiant a7 ever, would not
Punish the rascals be good slogan
for this? Both the jails and the treasury
would be fuller, while the saints who
think they own the earth and the full
ness thereof will be none the worse tor
being admonished that there are still a
people and God.
1t is a fact that notwithstanding Mr.,
Roosevelt's fuss and fury about enforc'
ing the law against violators OF the
antitrust and other laws intended to
protect the weak against the strong,
none of these viOlators have been pun
ished. 1t is true there have been suits
begun against trusts and fines have been
imposed upon corporations for violating
the antitrust laws-a few corporations
but the real offenders haven't been
punished If the law had been enforced
again1t the men who broke the laws in
stead Of against the corporations with
which they were connected the viola
tions would have ceased almost immedi.
ately. Unfortunately, one Of the first of
the violators Of the law against rebates
was man high IN favor with the Ad
ministra;ion, and halt was called
Since then the plan Of proceeding a.
gainst the corporations has prevailed,
and the violations have gone on pretty
much ~ if it We're not expected that the
law was to be obeyed.
Aud If Mr. Taft should be elected
wouldn't he follow in the footsepts Of
Mr.. Roosevelt? 1t is the impression
that he would, since he was nominated
with the understanding that he would
carry out Mr. Roosevelts policies.
The plan of furnishing the corpora
tious instead Of its officials is unjust,
because it Furnishes the innocent stock
holders. The great majority of the
stockholders have very little to do with
the management Of the properties in
which they have shares. Yet under the
prevailing system Of enforcing the law
they are the real sufferers, since ont Of
their pockets comes the money with
which to pay the fines
II is evident that IA long as this sys
TEN prevails the law will be violated
only by striking the real offenders will
ii be possible to put an end to the viola.
tions Of the law. The slogan suggested
by Mr. Watterson promises to be pop.
ular one
