Mr.. Methodist, Presbyterian, Re-
formed United Brethren, Luthren.
Baptist what are you going to do with
Taft? You fellows who are preaching
civic righteousness, purity in elections
and National Goodness, what are you
going to do as between William j..
Bryan, who believes in the orthodox
religion, whose character is as pure as
any mans in the United States,
against whom, though he has been
in public life for twenty-five years, no
man has ventured to say one word,
and William III. Taft, who belIev es
that the Savior was only man as you
and he are, who believes that the
Bible, which you regard as the inspir-
ed word of God, is only story book,
who repudiaIes the idea of a vicarious
atonement, who does not believe any
OF the cardinal principles of the christ-
tian religion. How can you preachers of
the Word vote for William Howard
Taft? We put the question to you.
Answer it as your conscience dictates
and in the name of consistency vote
for Bryan the christian against Taft
the infidel.
Let Charles Peter Light grind this
through his organ, the Evenihg jour
nal, with true regard for the Calvin
istic system.

History is philosophy teaching by
example. In 1882 President Arthurap-
pointed committee to revise the then
existing protective tariff. The COM
mittee, Of which the late Harry Oliver
of Pittsburg, was chairman, reported
in favor of an average 20 per cent, re-
duction Of duties, and Republican
Congress responded IN 1888 by raisiE g
the rates of duty. In 1890 there was
another Republican re sision of the
tariff (the Mckinley act in which the
rates of duty were raised still higher
under further pretenses of Protection
Finally, we have the present Dingley
tariff revision, which raised the duty
so high in many schedules as to defeat
i'm portation, and thus bred the swarm
of Trusts that are preying upon the
American people.
Yet this is the party that pretends
In its Chicago platform that it is going
to reform the tariff in the general in-
terest, while giving the Trusts signi-
ticant hint al the same time that they
need not apprehend any disturbance
In their depredations. With the ex-
pie of Republican tariff revision be-
fore them, would it not be amazing
credulity in the American people to
pot the least confidence in Republican
pretcnses Of revenue reform? The plain
trulh 10 tnat The Republican party
could not reform the tariff If it would,
andswould not if it could.-MsIl.

Charles Peter Light in his organ the
Journal, rejoices over the support of
Mr.. Unitarian Taft by the New
York World while the World
announces in its columns that
it cannot stand Roosevelt and Taft and
declares for Bryan.
The democracy can well afford to
exchange the Baltimore Sun for the
New York World.

The old Baltimore san has gone
lear to the bad. Last week they
came cut for Taft and this week de-
clared for the liquor traffic, asserting
that prohibition is fallute. When
people start down they generally go in
tobaggan style.

StenOgraphers In Demand.

The State Civil Service Commission
finds it difficult to fill vacancies in the
state service on account of the small
number of available candidates.
The eligible list for positions pay
ing from $40 to $55 a month is nearly
exhausted and another examination
must be held soon.
The majority of the stenographic
positions in the state service pay sal
aries of from S35 to $50 month, and
it is for filling these positions that
there is a scarcity of candidates.
The stenographic profession, from
a money point of view, seems a desir-
able one to enter, as there are so few
stenographers, who are willing to en-
ter the srate service under $50 a
month.
First class stenographers seem 20
have no trouble in finding renunera-
tive employment.

The following general order regard
ing the observance of Memorial Day
has been issued:
Comrades: We are approaching
another milestone in our march west
ward. The sun of our day is nearing
the horizon and our thinning ranks
remind US that it is fitting for US to
pause and pay heartfelt tribute to our
brave comrades sleeping so peacefully
in their shallow graves all over the
Southland, and in every city, village,
and hamlet throughout this Depart
ment. Their work is done; their war
fare over. Let us cherish and revere
their memories.
In compliance with the Rules and
Regulations, and General Orders No.
from National Headquarters, Satur-
day, May 30, will be observed as
Memorial Day by the Grand Army of
the Republic of this Department. and,
it is hoped, by all good citizens of
this state which sent out over ninety
thousand of her best and bravest men,
in grateful remembrance of our
heroic dead who fell in battle or
wasted away in prison pen, and of
our comrades who have since passed
over to the other side. Let US strew
upon their last resting places the
sweetest flowers of spring, and plant
there the flag they loved so we'll and
preserved without the loss of a single
star. Let us also remember their I'M
selfish devotion to duty, and from
their example gather inspiration that
shall cheer and sustain US, as with
halting step we march on toward the
sunset; and as the present generation
looks on or takes part, may they, too,
be inspired with the true spirit Of the
day.
As a preparation for Memorial Day,
let all the Posts, accompanied by the
Woman's Relief Corps, Ladies of G.
A. R., Daughters and Sons of Veter-
ans and Spanish War Veterans, at
tend divine service on the Sunday
preceding May 80, meeting at the Post
hall and going in a body to the church
where arrangement have been made
for such services. Post Commanders
will arrange to have all comrades, the
w. E. c., Ladies of the G. A. r. and
Daughters and Sons of Veterans at
tend patriotic exercises in the public
schools on Friday, May %, and will
urge the attendance Of all the children,
teachers, clergy and the public gener-
ally, to tue exercises to be held on
Memorial Day. Post Commanders
should ask the mayor or other exc
cutive officers of their respective cities
and villages TO request that all places
of business be closed. and that citi-
zens abstain from secular labor and
amusements during that portion of
Memorial Day devoted to Decoration
and Memorial services. Post Com
manders viii see that President Lin
coins Address at Gettysburg be made
a special feature of the Memorial Day
exercises.
Flags throughout this Department
will BE placed at half-mast on the
morning of Memorial Day and so re-
main until noon, when they will be
hoisted to full mast for the remainder
of the day. City and town govern
ments and all our citizens throughout
the state are kindly requested to COM
ply with the same form.
By commandand of
JOHN G. MARTIN.
Department Commander.

Evidence That AssaiIant Used

Witnesses Heard Shots Fired at
Night and Bullet Holes
,, Are Found

Damaging evidence tending to show
that Morris Haas carefully planned 10
shoot Heney was discovered by repre-
sentatfyes of the district attorneys OF
fee who spent several hours last even
ing in q search for persons intimate
with Haas This investigation in the
vicinity of Haas home brought to light
three persons who said that they heard
shots al different intervals. apparently
from the cellar Of Haas home
Steven Gotelli. living at 2200 Turk
street and employed in a butcher shop
adjoining the Haas home. said 70 the
officials that he heard number or
shots fired in-the vicinity of the Haas
house and later saw man emerge
from the place who resembled Haas
GOteIIi said also that to his best recol-
lection the shots were fired about 3
o'clock last Tuesday night
Russell Tilley. boy living in Meal
lister street within several blocks OF
the Haas house, accompanied Goteh
upon this occasion and cOrroborated his
statement.
III. Bressin. a butcher employed in the
same shop. also informed the officials
that he had heard mysterious shots at
various times Bressin had informed
his employer several days ago of the
mysterious shots. but little attention
was paid to the occurrence until Bres-
sin learned last night OF the attempted
assaSs sina tiOn
The statements made by these three
persons and the finding of two boxes OF
cartridges in the Haas home were con-
sidered as damaging evidence against
Haas by the Investigators, for in their
minds it plainly indicated that Haas had
planned the deed eoOlly and deliber-
ately.
Young Gotelli made the following
1o1 forof ~o
of the district attorneys office:
4 was playing handball last Tues
day night near Haas home when
heard two shots fired. 1t seemed TO
me that they were fred in an alley
way or cellar near the Haas home. a
short time after they were fired / saw
a man come out of the cellar under
1s4S McAIIister street. He was dressed
in light clothes and had mustache. I
do not know Haas very well, but to
me it looked like him."
Tiney did not have much to say
when interviewed. He substantiated
the statement made by GOtelH and
said that he had heard two shots. but
he was not certain as to the time OF
day.
Bressip was at work in the butcher
shop when visited by the detectives.
Il have heard shots fired in this vi
cinity several times" said Bressin,
and only recently I called my employ
/ er's attention to the fact We thought
nothing of it at the time. In my judg-
ment the shots were fired a few doors
above this butcher shop, but I am not
prepared to say exactly where they
were fired"

which took place after GOtelli. Bres-
sin and Ti1ey had been interviewed.
several bullet holes were found in the
boards of porch in the rear of the
Haas home. To all appearances the
holes had been there for more than
month. but the shattered condition of
the boards left no doubt in the minds
of the officers that they were caused
by bullets.

assertion somewhat amazed the OIL

she had never heard the graft prOsecu-

terms of the neighborly Haases and be-
came so evasive that the task Of ques-
tioning her was given up.
The Haas home was sparingly FUR
nished and the evidence of the approach
of poverty was plain. officers search
ing the house discovered a purse con-
tanning $50, which Mrs. Haas declared
was the only money in the house and
all the family had to supply the neces-
saries of life.
Hundreds of letters from liquor firms
in San Francisco were found in Haas
