Why Silver Dollars Are Sc &c g.

1t is chiefly around Christmas
time that the scarcity Of silver dol
lars becomes noticeable. The mint
has not been coming silver into lar
ger coins than 50.cent pieces for
about three years, with the result
that the ''cartwheels," as the silver
dollars were formerly called, have
largely disappeared from active cir
culatiOn. A clerk at the Bingham
House, who has been blessed with a
boy baby during the past year,
wanted, among other little gifts, to
give his young hopeful silver dol
lar marked "19O7," which, could be
suspended about his neck on string
and used 20 help cut the little teeth
which were beginning to show signs
of appearing. He inquired among
all his friends for a "19O7" silver
dollar, and it was not until he had
been on the vain search for nearly a
week that some one told him 10 call
at the mint, and there he received
official information that, under adj
vices from Washington, they had
not coined any silver dollars since
1905, and therefore, there had never
been nor would be any silver dollars
for the present year.-Philadelphia

heart failure.

Since the Presidents second dec
lsration that under no circumstances
would he serve again as President,
the sentiment for Secretary Taft has
rapidly developed all over the
country.
It is stated by those closest to the
Secretary that the States and Con-
gressional districts which have al
ready assured their support amount
to almost three hundred votes, with
out including single Southern State.
It has certainly put the Secretary
far in the lead of every other CAM
didate, and if the Southern States
which have been declaring so loudly
and strenuously for Roosevelt would
now prove their sincerity by lining
ND for the Secretary, it would at
once give him practically enough
votes to nominate him, to say moth

Dies on Parting With Lucky. Thirteen.
There is food for thought by
members of the Thirteen Club in
the career Of George Miller, just
ended, coincident with his unfaith-
fulness to the hoodoo number.
In the first place, Miller joined
the police force some. years ago on
May Is, and asked permission to
wear the hoodoo badge, No. 10,
which the other policemen side
stepped. The first week out he
stopped runaway and received a
purse for his bravery. Then he
saved woman's life and got a gold
watch as a token. He received pro.
motion for attention to duty.
"Lucky 49," as he became known,
got diamond ring, a silver whistle,
another gold watch, new suit of
clothes, and finally a cigar store as
gifts for devotion to duty. "Lucky
Is" decided he was too lucky to be
"cop," 80 he resigned on Novem
Der 13 and took charge of the gift
tobacco store.
The store failed two days after he
forsook "Lucky 10" He got into
a job as night Waterman. The kis-
met had deserted him. He got into

"At every session of Congress

sentation. A good indication that

Another indication that the North

the fact that they can put up any
sort of a man on the Democratic
ticket and count on the South to
vote it straight-in fact furnish
practically all Of the votes without
even so much as having a voice in
the matter. We do not mean to ap.

to some north. IN Republicans, but

a hearing in the matter, they might
soon learn that the South Is part

why the PATRONAGE MACHINE CROWD
IS AGAINST TAFT.

WHY the PATRONAGE MACHINE @hOWD
IS AGAINST TAFT.
The patronage machine crowd In
this State have been busy for many
months opposing Secretary Taft and
abusing him and misrepresenting
him on all occasions. One of the
chief grounds Of their opposition to
him is what they allege he said in
his speech at the Greensboro Con-
vention.
They quote him as saying that 1t
would be better for the Republican
party If all the offices were filled by
Democrats, and they say. therefore,
Republican cannot support Taf.
for President unless they want the
offices given to the Democrats. OF
Course, Secretary Taft never said
anything of the kind. What he did
say was that one Of Ahe troubles
with the Republican party where 1t
did not grow In the South was that
there were too many men holding
Federal offices who did nothing to
build up the party or to advance
it's principles, but who wanted to see
the party organization maintained
for no other purpose than for the
distribution of Federal patronage {;
he further said that where there was
no Republicans but this kind to hold
Offices that 1t would be better for
the party If they were held by
Democrats. This statement Is one
which will be endorsed by every
patriotic Republican In the State or
elsewhere. Indeed, no one can OPP
pose what he did say except the
patronage machine fellow at whom
it was directed.
Therefore, every professional office
nolder in the State who has been
abusing the Secretary on account OF
this speech has been admitting that
the cap fit him exactly.
The CAUCASIAN takes this occa'
sion to say that it unqualifiedly EN-.
dorses that speech, and we believe
that nine-tenths of the Republicans
of the State endorse 1t and further,
we want to say that if the rank and
file of the party will turn out at the
primaries and send delegations of
representative and patriotic men to
the next State Convention, and
there pass a resolution endorsing the
Secretary's speech, that it will dc
more to give the party prestige and
standing and to bring into the party
thousands upon thousands Of men
in the State who today believe in
Republican principles and who
would like to join the party if IL
would put itself in the position to
invite them to do 80, than anything
else that could be done.
In short, the party owes 1t to
itself to take such action at the
next State Convention as will give
the lie to the repeated charges that
the Republicans in the State did not
want any party, and nothing would
DO this more effectually than to en-
dorse Secretary Taft's wise and pa.
triotic utterance.

WHERE AN HONEST SUPPORTER OF
RoosEvELT's POLICIES STANDS.

kOOSEsElI FOLtSiES S'H"
Former Senator Squire, Of the
State of Washington, in an inter
view, says that bis State wanted
and still wants President Roosevelt
to serve the country another four
years, and thinks that he should
submit to do 80 as matter of duty
But he says if the Presidents re
fusal is irrevocable, that then his
State is for Judge Taft, for the same
reason that it is for Roosevelt. He
says that no man who is honestly
for Roosevelt's policies could fail to
be for Secretary Taft, because ne
measures up in every way to the
Presidential size, and that there Is
no man who could more ably and
successfully carry forward those poll
cies.
Besides, he says that he cannot I'M
derstand how a man can claim to be
an admirer of Roosevelt's policies,
and, at the same time, attempt to
dodge behind the excuse that he can
not support Taft because the Presi-
dent has confidence in his sincerity,
ability and fitness. He says that it
is clear that that excuse is invented
by the enemies of the administra-
ton. He asks, "How can man be
for Roosevelt's policies, and then be
for a man for President who is not
known to be a supporter of those
policies ?"
The Senator says that he person.
ally likes all of the candidates, yet
that every truthful man, no matter
who his personal choice for Presi-
dent may be, will be forced to admit
that Secretary Taft is not only big
man by nature, in both heart and
brain, but that he is also big in ripe
Judgment and successful achieve
ment; tina. he has been the Presi-
dents chief supporter-the great
constructive and executive force in
his administration +; that he has met
and handled all of the great untried
problems, including the Philippines,
Cuba and the Panama Canal, with
consummate skill, ease and wisdom ;
and that besides this, he is squarely
for the policies Of the Presidents
administration and qualified to a
marked degree to effectively carry
them forward to success.
Then he says that this being true,
why should any one who Is for the
President for what he stands for
look for some one else as successor ?
The CAUCASIAN has not seen the
situation stated more forcefully and
clearly than by Senator Squire. If
there is any one who claims to favor
Roosevelt's policies aud doesn't agree
with Senator Squire, we would be
glad to hear from him and publish
his views.
