the San Fernando road and fell eX-
hausted in the doorway of Mrs. w.

protection.
1t was some time after his run of
nearly two miles before Chabrier could
tell his story, and then he related how
he had been beyond Edendale, looking
for man whom he knew, and was on
his way home when he was stopped by
two men, both of whom were masked
and armed with a revolver.
They pointed the guns at his head
and demanded his money When he
told them that he had none they threat
ened him and said they would kill him
il he had not told the truth. Then they
searched him and found nothing of
value on him, whereupon they ordered
him to move down the road to a point
where, they said, they proposed to kill
him.
He started with the highwaymen
after him. and when he had gained a
few feet on them he ran and ran until
he reached Mrs. Taylor's place, whith-

Protest will be made through the
Austrian embassy here.
In an interview today Tewfik Pasha,
president of the council of state and
minister of foreign affairs, declared
that the government already had pro-
tested against Bulgaria's declaration of
independence and had proposed to the
signatories of the treaty of Berlin the
calling of a conference. This Turkey
considered to be the best course for
the protection of her interests.
The minister added that Great
Britain, France and Russia disapproved
of the conduct of Bulgaria. In reply
to a question, he said that Turkey de-
sired peace in the, interest of Internal
reform, and he counseled calm and
mediation.
The reports of Turkish military pre-
parations are denied here, and it is
said the government is merely COM
pleting the deficiencies in various army
corps.
Following out this program, new guns
and ammunition are being sent to
Adrianople and Salonilxa.

WILL TAFT CONTINUE THE ROOSEVELT
p0LIGIEST

The Elk Point Leader last week
solmenly assured it's readers that "to

Any of the Roosevelt policies were even
mentioned the republican nation
al convention. 1t then warns the voter
lest Uncle Joe Cannon and the terrible
stand patters gobble up and control
the coming republican administration.
La this connection it is interesting
to uotice how others regard the same
possibility. The Sioux Falls Press has
been brought tardjly and reluctantly
to the support of Secy. Taft. But read
the following all the way through,
please, from an issue of the Press one
day last week, and see how much more
hopeful the Press is than the Leader:
1T is not necessary to lake the word
OF anybody else for it. We have it
from Taft himself, in the following
paragraph of his article in Golfers
Weekly upon the duties of the presi-
dency:-
at remained for Roosevelt to prove
how the people will respond to a strong
and true leadership, when the hour
has come for great reforms. The poll
cies which he inaugurated must be con-
tinued and developed. They are right
and they are the policies OF the people.
For that reason his successor may
well disregard any charge Of lack of
originality If he does not make an en-
tirely new program Of his own"
cot course Taft before this has de-
clared himself in accord with the be-
liefs of Roosevelt. But the above
statement has been made since his
nomination by the Chicago convention.
He is no longer 10 need OF President
Roosevelt's support for the nomina-

consequent risks, like most old line
companies. This in the end Is the
only fair basis and is the Only basis on
which an insurance company can live
and pay out. The present read just
ment is hardship on the old mem
bers, but they should remember that
they nave enjoyed the benefit of insur-
ance for many years below cost and
that The new rates are not excessive
for their present age. Aost fraternals
have been driven To similar read just
ment and those that have not will lind
it necessary as their risks increase.
The truth of the matter is that nearly
every fraternal order has been selling
insurance below cost In order to get
the business. This is neither fraternaI-
ism nor business. The new order of
things is designed to put true fraternal-
ism GA business basis and should be
heartily welcomed, not only by Work
men but by members of other factional
organic atoms as well.

Supposedly republican newspapers

resent TO their readers that Taft
would be no such president as Roose-
Welt has been. Such newspapers, OF
course, represent big interests that are
for themselves first and party after

prospects. In reply to both we have
Tafts own statement that the policies
which Roosevelt inaugurated must b.

no conditions, no halting phrases. 1t

yeM policies must be carried on.
This bears out Senator L. Follette's
opinion that Taft il more nearly in az
cord with the Roosevelt doctrines
than is the platform on which he was
nominated. So over against the ca
jolery of Wall street and the PARTISAN
ship OF Bryan we may place Tafts rep
utation for veracity and LaFollette's

 Should a male teacher who never pays poll tax be permitted to hold position in the public schools in Arkansas?"
 This question has been frequently asked and was called to the attention or Superintendent George B. Cook Saturday. II is contended that teach CTS. above all others. should be among the first 10 pay pcll tax This tax goes to the school fund. and the teach CT gets more benefit from il than any other person. and he should be re- quired 10 pay il. otherwise he should be barred from teaching in the public schools. so argument runs
 Some persons who have talked the matter over with the superintendent would like to have him suggest that an act be passed by the legislature making a male teacher ineligible to teach in the public schools in the state unless he is a poll tax payer.
 Superintendent Cook, in discussing the question. said that every good male citizen in the state should pay the poll tax and that so should every teaehe. of the sterner sex. The male teacher should be proud Of the privi- lege of paying poll tax said Super intendent Cook. He k more for tunate than the teacher of the oppo- site sex. He enjoys benefits that the other does not. His pay is greater than that of the other. and in addi ton 10 this he is distinguished by every che with the title of professor. He not only receives the pay but is also accorded the honor of his pro fession. He certainly should esteem il pleasure to pay his poll tax. and l believe he will when the matter is presented to him in the proper shape, without going to the legislature tc make him do SO"
