sci. William Allen White, the What's
the matter with Kansas" editor from
Emporia, seems to take the Nebraskan

Wall street became reconciled to Mr..

idea of the situation. Now this. is
merely confirming the impression re-
ceived several weeks ago that the Taft
candidacy, in order to appear fairly
conservative in the East and fairly
radical in the West, is up against a
knotty problem of political science.

THE TRUE SITUATION.

(From the Youngstown Vindicator.)
The acting coroner of Stark county
is reported as declaring that he does
not intend to let the Massillon hospital
investigation drop with the fling Of
the state board of charities report
which is expected to be a whitewash
of the affairs at the institution where
attaches are accused of cruelty that
resulted in death. What does the act
ing coroner of Stark county think the
investigation was made for? Isn't
the state administration pretty largely
responsible to the Republican bosses
just now, and are they not face to face
with a campaign in which it would
be rather unpleasant to have a report
condemning the conduct of attaches
of the institution which, as the news
paper reports stated when the investi-
cation was being made, was a shock
ing surprise to the trustees?

SOME NEW PURITY LAWS

Columbus, o., June 1.-THE time in
which manufacturers and dealers in re-
noVated butter may operate without let
or hindrance from the state is growing
short The new law of last winter goes
into effect July /, and after that all but
ter of that kind must be labeled plainly
as such. The new law giving the state
dairy and food commissioner power to
enforce purity of paints also goes into
effect and he will be able to make il hot
for dealers handling paints that are NOT
pure. He is also given authority over
inseed oil, Much of the linseed oil now
on the market is impure. In fact much

use in paint II the new law is en-
forced it will compel the paint and oil
business to be placed on an honest basis
But the paint law will not go into effect
until January l, 1909,
A new law giving the food commits
sioner power to compel all proprietary
medicines not recognized as standard
preparations by the United States phar-
macopoeia, to bear labels showing what
per cent of alcohol or narcotics or poi

the use in drugs, for internal or external
use, of methyl or wood alcohol, is in
effect now

works and pulls wires to get appro.
priatlons for government buildings in
the towns of his district These towns
may not need such structures, but
that is not an argument. The con-
gressman needs votes and II Uncle
Sam foots the bills what's the odds?
SO the citizens of Podunk and Rat
tlesnake Corners swell with pride
when they read in the papers that
through the untiring efforts of Con-
gressman Smiters and appropriation
of $4,000 has been made to buy site
in each of the towns. for public build
ing. Smithers stock goes up. Repub-
licans and Democrats agree he is a
great man, and there are rumors,
which create little surprise, that he
lunches with the president every day
and possibly spends night each week
at the White House. Defeat Smith
ers? Why, it would be a calamity to
the district!
And so scores and scores of sites
are purchased and buildings erected
totaling cost of millions and mill
lions in order that Smithers and other
congressman may make their calling
and election sure and draw their sal
aries and mileage.
Formerly public buildings were built
in centers where the business of the
public made them necessary. Today
hundreds of them are being erected
in towns which do not Justify such
expenditures and solely BECAUSE the
congressman, through log-rolling,
thinks to ingratiate himself in the
good graces of his constituents.
Partially as the result of this un-
warranted extravaganza the govern
ment is running millions behind its
receipts and the people are paying
the campaign bills of the men who are
trying to hang on to their political
jobs.--Toledo Blade. ..-...-

FAMILIAR FACES.

surround these names. They were
active participants in the fraud of
1876 and aided in robbing Samuel J..

now after nearly a generation OF
years they are again prominent in the
new fraud of 1908 at Chicago.-Find-

MAcK's AMENDMENT ACCEPTED.

The Columbus Press-Post INDUCES
in the following: 1T is said that
George B. Cox feels greatly elated
over the vindication he has received
from William H. Taft's cruel asper-
sions of 1905. How vindicated? do
you inquire? By the action of Mr..
Taft putting him in charge of the
Republican organization in Ohio, and
thus making Mr.. Cox the man of the
greatest prominence in the Chicago
convention"
Mr.. Taft did not make George B.
Cox the head of the organization in
Ohio. Cox had the cards up his
sleeve by which he was able to play
the game that made him the head
practically of the organization in Ohio
and enabled him to dictate to the
convention in the matter of candidates
for state Offices. Taft, through his
brother, who is a great admirer of
Cox, meekly surrendered to Cox, and
Joined hands with him in every way
in the Cox effort to boss the state
convention. Let us have all the truth
and not part of it-Sandusky Register

Mr.. BRYAN's CHANCES OF ELEc
TION.

In the general roundup at Chicago
the politicians have an excellent op-
portunity to exchange views concern
ing the outlook for the campaign
against Bryan. There are already in
dications that the easterners are re-
Ceiving a series of mild shocks from
the western Republicans they are
meeting. It has become the fixed be-
lief Of an eastern man that the nomina-
tion Of Bryan means Republican
walk9ver, for he has been told so
countless times by those so-called
Democratic papers of the eastern
cities which have fought the Bryan

tive minority when the question of the
measure of praise that should be given
in the platform to the policies of Pres
ident Roosevelt was under considera-
tion.
The Taft leaders have been playing
for time ever since they discovered
that majority of the committee on
resolutions apparently was not in IA
vor of an anti-injunction plank. The
subcommittee met at 10 o'clock today
and after a recess for luncheon, met
again at in the afternoon. At 4, ac-
cording to the agreement at adjourn
ment yesterday the full membership
of the committee on resolutions as
sembled but the subcommittee was
not ready to report. The sub-commit-
tee thereupon agreed to report to the
full committee at o'clock tonight.
When the committee met at 8 o'clock
the subcommittee was not ready to re-
port and it was agreed that there
should be postponement of the COM
mittee's session until 10 o'clock.
Later the subcommittee on plat
form reached an agreement which is
said to have been unanimous. It. is
described as making passing refer
ence to the power to issue writs of in
functions and bestows high praise up
on the integrity of the courts. ,E
Speaker Cannon is here yet and de-
termined to stay until the anti-injunc-
tion controversy has been adjusted
one way or the other. His friends re-
newed today their argument that if
an anti-injunction plank was, contain
ed in the platform presented to the
convention, Uncle Joe should go on
the floor with a delegates proxy and
lead the fight against the plank.
To his friends the speaker said:
III ] should go into the convention,
would preface anything had to say
by an absolute declaration that l
would not take the presidential nomi-
nation under any circumstances.
Then ! would tell them what thought
of this dastardly attempt to interfere
with the independence of the courts"
All of which means that Uncle is
terribly in earnest.
More than 10000 kilograms protest
ing against the proposed anti-injunc-
tion plank have been received by del
egates.
