THE GREAT TAFT-AOE "BARBE-

George Ade OF Newton county. Indi-
ana. is professional ioke-maker. but
IL was not suspected that he would
work of such funny trick as his
great Taft barbecue" turned out to
be. Instead OF free feast OF roasted
beeves and trimmings. there were full
dinner pals" containing a lunch for
which Is cents was charged. Those
who were thoughtful enough to bring
the price got something 10 eat The
rest were compelled 10 flI up on Mr.
Tsfts speech And this was far from
satisfactory
Mr.. Taft talked about a larger navy.
a stronger army and coast defenses.
something in which they had little in
tsrest. while he ignored the live issues
Of tariff revision. iniunctions. suAran-
tee OF bank deposits. publicity OF cam
paign funds. and other questions about
which they desired 10 hear his views
Surely Mr.. Ade maintained his reputa-
tion as one OF the greatest humorists
OF the day.

Within an hour after the dishonora-

Knisely Denounced il on the floor OF
the house. Later he made an affidavit
setting out the facts involving Repub-

Hanly Tken there was great squirm-

Doubtless ;hey had not dreamed that

among Republican politicians OF their

trouble was hat they had run up
against an honorable man and in that
had made a mistake" Everybody
knew tha, Mr. Knisely had told the
truth.
The governor with great apparent
indignation. called for a legislative IN
euiry- This was held and Mr.. Knisely
reiterated his story. The governor de-
cisred that he had only talked to
Knisely "on high moral grounds" and
Wickwire said he vas ~misunder-

last week the fact was developed that
the Republican state central commit

control the action OF the federation.
Many letters written By Cromer to del

stated that be was writing al the re-

asked them 10 stand By James <. Wat
son. The federation. however. adopted
q resolution reanrning its oppos tisn

Hanly for calling the special session

tion contained the following state
ment:

This was an amazing position for
Mr.. Roosevelt 10 take. but when
Roosevelt lad given him his cue. Taft
took the same ground and undertook
10 fortify himself by the statement
that there Is no law in either Europe
