Presidents Indictment Against the
Party.


In message sent congress last
January, President Roosevelt said:
The attacks by these great corpora
tlons on the administration actions
have been given a wide circulation
throughout the country, in news
papers and otherwise. by those
writers and speakers who, conscious
ly or unconsclOusly, act as the repre-
sentatives OF predatory wealth--of
the wealth accumulated on giant
scale by all forms OF iniQuity, ranging
from the oppression of wage earn.
ers to unfair and unwholesome meth
DDS of crushing out competition. and
to defrauding the public by stock
jobbing and manipulation of secur-
tiles Certainly wealthy men of this
stamp, whose conduct should be abb
hoTrent every man OF ordinary de-
cent conscience. and who, commit
the hideous wrong of teaching our
young men that phenomenal business
success must ordinarily be based ON
dishonesty. have, during the last few
months, made 1t apparent that they
have banded together to work for
reaction. Their endeavor is TO
overthrow and diseredit all who
honestly administer the law, to pre-
vent any additional legislation which
would check and restrain them. and
to secure, II possible. freedom from
all restraint which win permit every

he wishes unchecked. provided he has
enough money What an arraign-

The advantage OF the daily tele-
graph service which the Evening
Press Is now receiving win be APP
preciated In the fact that we are able
to give TO our readers this evening
the acceptance speech delivered by
Bryan In Lincoln at 10 o'clock this
morning, The speech Is an able
declaration OF the principles for
which the great commoner Is con-
tending and viii be read with interest
by the people regardless of party,
because It Is the utterance of one
Of the foremost Americans OF the
present age. and a declaration of the
rights OF the masses to government
for all the people.

pay the taxes will realize, when too
late, that they have been buncoed
and are paying two or three dollars
to one by other counties. Protests
ought to be made to the state board
now In session at Boise, and they
should be made In manner to COM
mand justice instead of continue
ton of tax assessment that is moth
inE short OF legalized robbery, The
constitution says that taxes must be
equal. but they are not so In Idaho.
and never will be until the people
arouse TO the fact that they are being
robbed by an unjust method of tax

prevent any attempt at tariff reform
before the election; and the reduction
promised after the election is so
hedged about with qualifying
phrases, that no one can estimate
with accuracy the sum total of tariff
reform to be expected in case of
republican success. If the past can
be taken as a guide, the republican
party will be obligated by campaign
contributions from the beneficiaries
of protection, to make that party
powerless to bring to the country any
material relief from the present tar
iff burdens.
Why No Antitrust Legislation?
A few years ago the republican
leaders in the house of representa-
tives were coerced by public opinion
into the support of an antitrust law
which had the endorsement of the

unlawful enriching of directors and
for the purpose of concentrating the
control of the railroads under one
management" All these, he charges,
"Quickening the conscience of the
people and brought on moral
awakening" During all this time,
beg to remind you, republican off,
cials presided in the executive depart
ment, filled the cabinet, dominated
senate; controlled the house of rep
resentatives and occupied most of the
federal judgeships. Four years ago
the republican platform boastfully
declared that since 1S60--with the
exception of two years--the repub-
lican party had been. in control of
part or of all the branches of the
federal government; that for two
years only was the democratic party
in position to either enact or re-
peal law. Having drawn the
salaries; having enjoyed the honors;
having secured the prestige, let the
republican party accept the respon-
sibility.
Why No Tariff RefOrmP
The presidents close friends have
been promising for several years that
he would attack the iniquities of the
tariff. We have had intimation that
Mr.. Taft was FESTIVE under the de-
mands of the highly protected in
dustries. And yet the influence of
the manufacturers, who have for 20
years contributed to the republican
campaign fund, and who in return
have framed the tariff schedules. has
been sufficient to prevent tariff
reform. As the present campaign APP
proaehes, both the president and Mr..
Taft declared In favor Of tariff re-
vision. but set the date Of revision
after the election. But the pres
sure brought to bear by the protected
interest has been great enough to

The. Vpshur Republican comments
as follows on the subject;
II. Roy Waugh viii represent Up
shur county in the next House of
Delegates. He is a scholarly young
man, fun of vim and ambition. He
was given the nomination without
opposition. His record as prosecut-
ing attorney Is an enviable one. He
e a lawyer of ability, a forcsful
speaker and well qualified for any
position. He has risen into recognt-
ton by his own personal efforts, and
without opportunity. He is conced-
ed 10 he one OF the strongest GAM
palGners in this part of the State and
Is always ready to do service for his
party Some fruits of his work in
the last campaign can be scen by
Hooking 10 the results in Pocahon-
tas county where practically the
whole Republican ticket was elected
by q large majority when the county
was hitherto Democratic.
In Upshur he being IN acquaintance
of Glasscock was possibly the first
man to put on the armor in behalf
of the Eoyernor-elect. As is well
known Upshur county elected the Re
publican ticket from Taft to Con
stable, not Democrat elected with
lin the county borders. In his home
ca paigH our brilliant young friend
was most active campaiEner. and
no man has a 'hstter claim FOR Taft's
.1.726 majority aud Giasseock's fall
ing behind the president much less
than one hundred votes than he lie
is in the fght FOR the speakership
If he is elected the lower branch OF
our state lawmakers will have as its
presiding officer an honest. capable
man and both he and his county de-
lServa the recognition ana honor.

lifetime. to the South Penn Oil Com

his death and are still good produc-
ing wells.
Since the death OF MIR, Amos. the
heirs claimed all the production from
the wells, with the exception of al
lowing the widow the interest on
one-third of the same. This course
was pursued until Mrs. Amos insti~
, tuled her suit in the Marion county
circuit court about five months ago.
Judge Mason in his opinion held that
Mrs. Amos wac entitled TO the full
one-third of the ruH1 estate during
her lifetime, and aIEH ohe-thlrd OF
