TWELVE COUNTS IN INDICTMENT
AGAINST THE REPUBLICAN MA
TI0NAL ADMINISTRATION.

That the Roosevelt administration.
which is attempting to project itself
into the future, is highly vulnerable
needs no proof beyond the presentation
of the bare facts.
1. 1t has been extravagant and
wasteful.
2. 1t has attempted to popularize
war.
8. 1t has gloried in Philippine i'm
Eerialism.
4. 1t has menaced the States with
federal usurpation by means of con-
structive jurisprudence.
8. 1t has recklessly undermined con-
fidence in our business methods, causing
panic, depression and suffering.
g. 1t has profited by the political
contributions of corporations seeking
legislative favors.
Z. 1t has spoken vociferously against
the malefactors of great wealth, but it
has not brought one Of them to Justice.
8. 1t has bullied congress, threaten
ing to do as it pleased, law or no law.
8. 1t has assaulted the courts when
their judgments were contrary to it's
wishes.
| 10. 1t has maintained the highest
| tarlf ever known In free country and
| has made no move in favor of income
and Inheritance taxes.
II. 1t has constantly demanded law
and more law for the prosecution of
trusts, although existing laws are held
by it to be too drastic for enforcement.
II. 1t is now attempting to round out
career of wilfulness, greed, ambition
and tyranny by forcing the election OF
personally excellent and amiable
proxy.-New York World.

The contest which the democratic
party is conducting in this campaign is
contest against monopoly in all it's
aspects, and under whatever name, in
the interests of the people. On the
other hand, the republican party can
not and will not conduct such cam
paign, because it is too closely bound
to monopoly to serve the public interests.
AS the democracy is entirely free from
this sinister influence, is may, therefore,
be fully trusted to defend the rights of
the people whenever and wherever
assailed by the spoliatory trusts.

Mr.. Taft is to go on the stump. Why?
West today is for Bryan and will vote
for him unless the tide is turned.
Suddenly the republican papers,
which have been prating about it being
''undignified" for presidential candi-
dates to go about speaking, now think
it is the very thing. They say "me too
to everything Bryan does, with reser-
vations that please the trusts.

Our republican friends can now have
the privilege of voting for their prefer
ance for United States Senator If they
will sign a statement solemnly pledging
the bosses toat they vote the republican
ticket. The mere fact that they say
80 is no good. 1t must go down on pa
per with the signature Of the voter at
tached, so the statement can be filed
away for future reference.

When the government. deposits it's
money in bank it first demands guar
antee. When there are banks run on un-

the government insure the individual
depositors? This is pertinent ques-

bearer. 1t may be answered atthe polls

There is not the slightest doubt in
the world but that the next president
of the United States will be named Bill

Mr.. Taft is fifty-three years Of age
and has held Office twenty-seyen years
of his life, but was never elected to
any position by the votes Of the people.

Time may bring candidates wisdom,
but it doesn't make them any prettier.

Mr.. Taft's promise to call an extra
session to revise the tariff in ease he
is elected is calculated to enthuse the
eminent tariff benefciaries who feel
that their schedules need revising up
wards.

Senator Hopkins of Illinois says "Mr.
Taft's promises are not binding on the

TENNESSEANS TO
SEEK TEMPERANCE
MEMBERS FROM THIS STATE
WILL CRATE AT BIG MASS
MEETING AT CAPITOL.

WASHINGTON D. c., Feb. g.
There will be a big temperance mass
meeting tomorrow night at the First
Presbyterian Church, John Marshall
Place, this city, at which several Ten
nesseans will take a prominent part
Congressman Nathan w Hale will
preside, and Senator Taylor and Rep
resentative Sims are expected to
speak on sunshine and moonshine.
The meeting is one of series in
tending to be held to influence Con-
gress to enact prohibition measure
for the District of Columbia.
Among the younger members of the
House Of Representatives upon whom
the temperance forces are placing
much reliance are Richmond p. Hob
son and Cordell Hull. The country
at large knows of the conspicuous
services rendered by Mr. Hobson dur
ing the Spanish-American War, and
Mr.. Hull endeared himself to the
young men of a Tennessee regiment
as Captain during the same struggle.
They both represent constituencies
that are taking advanced ground on
the prohibition movement, and are
earnest advocates Of It.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin.
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the In
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to It's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;

EDUCATION OF
The RED MEN
INDIAN SCHOOLS ARE SUBJECT or
LIVELY DEBATE IN LOW
Err HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-When the
Indian appropriation bill was taken up
in the House today on its merits and
for the consideration of the amend
ments, much opposition was expressed
by Mr.. Smith, of Arizona, to the sec
ton making appropriation for collect
ing and transporting pupils to and
from schools not on the reservation.
He offered an amendment to limit
the appropriation to the transporting
of such pupils only within the State
in which they live. He believed, he
said, in the principle that the Indian
should be educated not with the view
of helping himself, but of helping his
people, and charged that in many
cases where Indians had gone back
to their reservations from non-reser-
walton schools, they became the worst
Indians of all.
Mr.. Gardner, of Michigan, pointed
out many notable cases where Govern
ment educated Indians had made a
mark in their professional and bust
ness life, but Mr.. Smith said that II
such was the case, it only resulted in
putting the Indian In competition with
citizens, whereas he could accomplish
much good among his own people.
This remark brought Mr.. Olmstead,
of Pennsylvania, to his feet with
vigorous defense of the Carlisle
School. He did not know, he said, OF
a single instance where any Carlisle
pupil or the parent of any such pupil
ever raised his hand against the Gov
eminent. Money for non-reservation
schools, he argued, was well expended.
In respnse to a question by Mr..
Stephens, of Texas, Mr.. Olmstead de-
MED that Billy the Kid, an alleged out
law. was a Carlisle student.
Mr.. Carter, of Oklahoma, opposed
the amendment of Mr.. Smith because,
he said. he believed in as broad an
education as possible for the Indian.
The amendment was also opposed
by Mr.. CURE, of Oklahoma
On a viva voce vote the amendment
was last.
