hard to believe Missourians are apt
to forget the real identity of his en-
emieS whether thew come in strange
guises. bearing gifts, or in their own

story of his service in the fight
against the lobby is forever ensrav-
ed upon the pnblic records of the

sent nor vandal hands mutilate.-

If the negro voter had even a
elimmer of political sense he would
vote the Democratic ticket this
year. He would get as many pos

Roosevelt Makes MemoraDdum For Use
 of the Campaign C0nazntttee.
 Washington Dispatch to New fork
 Before President Roosevelt departed for Oyster Bay he proved his capacity for direct political work by laying out basis for campaign activity by the Taft managers. He named in ms memorandum the States of Indiana. Utah, Colorado, Montana. Nevada. North Dakota, south Dakota, Nebraska ana Rhode Island as worthy of keen con sideration by the Republican managers.
 The ordinary politician would not select the Dakotas as q danger s,n ponnt, onos with conditions than any other man in the country. The inclusion of nnode Island also Is surprise. The President made ..IS notes Of nds. she v,ts, is, hnss in each IS State ressrSfo and foswardsd W the material to Senator Borah. who will be one of the really big wrokers in the
 The President has placed Maryland as certainty in the Taft column. al. though seven of it's electoral votes went to Parker, and. of course, he does not Connecticut as debatable territory. He Is not bit Mustered about conditions in Ohio. Mir. Taft will bring about har- mony in that State beyond doubt.
 Tn the nine States picked out by the President many radical programs have been popular of late. A majority of these States now have Democratic gov electoral votes to Mir. Roosevelt. The total of their electoral votes Is only forty mine. The President regards Taft as sure winner without them, but he believes they can all be carried by fol- lowing hts program, and the majority in the House of Representatives can be strengthened.
 It ca be said authoritativeiy that MT. Roosevelt Is disposed to treat lightly the so-called antagonism of the labor voters and negroes. He does not be- lieve that the defection will decide the electoral vote of any big Northern State.

HITTING HIM HARD.

The Pittsburg CPa.) Post. one of the truest of our Democratic eontemporar- ies. hits Mir. Lodge some deserved knocks on account of his speech at the Chicago Convention, and incidentally gives the present administration a few good ones as it goes along. Lodges speech was largely of the made .to-or- der variety, and as was to be expected he boosted Roosevelt and his adminis- tration above everything and every body known to the government before his time. Thereupon The Post says
 Lodge knows he was ipdicting Mo- KinIey, Harrison and all the past worthies Of h!s party to reach the courtier's climax of claiming impartial administration of the laws by Roose- welt. Who is unfamiliar with the long list of powerful contributors to corrup' scot fre.'? Who has failed to detect the behests of che Morgans. the Harri- mans, the Hills of the "tortuous" class? Then this unconscionable Pecksniff prates of his paFty's confidence ip the courts. while some of its honest lead CTS are now begging for assurance @ that tinue his own despicable attacks on the courts
 The Post should not be too hard or the Bay State Senator. He is a man of brains and intelligence, and 1t may be that he has views of his own when # is a proper time to exploit them. but this was plainly not the time. Even if he does not consider this the altogeth. CT greatest administration that has ever been vouchsafed to a great peO. pie he was not at liberty 70 say so. The Chicago Convention was an admin istration function from first to last cut, dried and properly programmed. and of course the man selected to do the orating on such an occasion must do the job just as planned. MT. Lodge. The Post says, is the Pecksnif of the Senate" and several other things equal ly uncompIimentary. Possibly The Pnsl may be preJudiced or unduly partisan. but we must quote one more para graph from It's editorial. as follows:
 No better choice could an imperialist chum have made to perform the task of exuding a shameless series Of par tisan lies, paralleled only by the cheap biographies Of his master in his juven- He vilihcation of his more honest pre- decessors. What this conscience less parader Of falsehood. garbed in Bos- tonese English. said about the Demo- cratic party needs no reply That grand conserVator Of equality of rights and denier of special privileges can sheer at pigmy assaults. But the laudation of his own party betrays the Innate tnsincerity of this sUDercillous faWner.

A NEW INDUSTRY sUGGEsTED.

When 1t comes to raising rabbits we belt. In some of our Western States the rabbit family has proven a genuine pest, to be gotten rid of in any man ner that presents itself. but Australia does things different, judging by the statement that 2s,OOO tons of rabbit meat were sent from that country to London alone last year. Obviously there must have been a paying market there for that kind of beef" or 1t would not have been sent there in such great quantities. Maine con temporary by the way. argues that here is & pointer for some enterprising per- son to start up an industry that will down the meat trust, and give relief to the eaters of meat.
 The Maine brother does not give de- tails of how his project Is to be car ried out and made effective; whether by making use of the wild rabbits or by raising them for the purpose. For many years Australia has been liter ally overrun by rabbits. The English kind were carried out there in large numbers years ago in the hope and belief that they would rid the country of certain other pests that were a great nuisance, but that was a case where the remedy was worse than the disease. The climate and conditions In Australia were so favorable to the animals that in a few years they were not only a nuisance but an actual msn- ace to the inhabitants. As one writ CT spoke of 1t, they seemed to spring up from the earth, so fast did they multiply and so well did they

 Serene E. Payne.

Sereno E. Payne, the veteran repre- sentative in Congress of the Thirty first district of New York, was born June 26, lS43, in Hamilton. N. Y. At an early age his family removed with him to Auburn and he has since made that city his home. He was graduated from the University of Rochester and was admitted to the bar in 1866. His first public office was that of city clerk of Auburn, which he filled from 1868 to 1871. He subsequently, was elected supervisor, district attorney. and mem Der of the board of education. He was elected to the Forty eighth Congress and has been reelected biennially ever since, with the execution of one term. Mr. Payne was a member of the British and American Joint High Commission m lSyY, and as member of the Com mittee on Ways and Means ne helped to frame the Mckinley and the Ding ley tariff bills. Since 1899 ne has been chairman of ule Ways and Means Com mittee and one of the recognized Re- publican leaders of the House of Rep resentatives. He is a close friend of Speaker Cannon and during the legis- lative session the two usually leave the Capitol together and stroll down Pennsylvania Avenue arm in arm when the days work Is done.

 vention of the declaration In favor of publicity in the matter of the source of campaign Contributions becomes serious by reason of the fact that sher- man. the Vice Presidential nominee. figured conspicuously in the Harriman- Roosevelt correspondence concerning the s250.000 raised by Hartman ana his associates in 1904.
 There Is q notable lack of enthusiasm in the country generally ana the fact that the real demonstrations ct the convention were for Roosevelt and La Toilette is Already. source of worry for Republican leaders. The statement is made In many newspapers that Secretary Taft was not pleased by the selection of his running mate. He. pre- ferred q WesteTner of more fiberal associations. and the fact that ms wishes were ignored is another evidence of the supremacy of the reacrionary
 There seems to be the possibility also of trouble over the choice Of the man ager of the campaign. The rivalry of Hitchcock and Vorys seems 10 have eliminated both of them.
 While Republican discipline Is to a certain extent asserting itself there are yet evidences of factional antagon- ism. Neither party to recent contro- versies is thoroughly satisfied that it has obtained all that 1t would like to
 
 there will be careful scheming for ad- vantage on the part of both the radicals and the reactionaries. It is by no means improbable that the factionaI differences will come to the surface in the struggle over the national chair manship, While the nominee for President will be allowed to name the chairman, he is embarrassed by the fact that he must take his campaign man ager from one faction or the other. and under the circumstances he can scarcely escape giving offense. If Crane is chosen this will be additional evidence of the supremacy of the re- actionary faction and it will tend to make more trouble for the ticket in the West. If a Western liberal is elected there may be some question as to his ability to secure the necessary cam paign funds.
 The political necessity of the on- casion almost demands manager from the East, or at least that he pc a man in touch with the financial powers. since the party must rely y on big campaign fund.
 Each days developments since his nomination indicate that Taft was stronger the moment he was declared the nominee of the party for President than he will ever be again.

Cabot Lodges NarrOwneua.


 It is a great mistake to think, and to teach others to think. that a political party which includes in It's membership at least one-half of the people Of the United States Is con spiracy against the public welfare That is the state of mind irto which no one should allow himself to fall We may have our preferences. we may differ as to policies. we may think tha' one man or one party is more fit than another to govern the country. bus we ought never to permit ourselves to believe that our friends ard neigh bors who may belong to the other par sciously plotting against the interest. of the people. It is to be .regretted that such a "scholar in politics" as Senator Lodge should take this view He seems to regard the Democratic Party as a sort of entity existing sep arate and apart from the millions of triotic as those represented at Chicago who compose 1t.
