WHY THIS porHER.

The virtuous indignation as
sumed by President Roosevelt
because Gov. Haskell, late
treasurer of the democratic ma
tional committee, is charged with
tavoring the Standard Oil com
pany,a charge he vigorously denies
and demands proof, is subject to
some suspicion as to its being
genuine.
Does Mr.. Roosevelt forget that
Elihu Root, his secretary of state.
lives in mansion given him by
Boss Tweed and that he was at
torney for the men who put
through the Metropolitan street
railway steal, the biggest single
graft ever perpetrated2
Does he forget that Geo. r,
Sheldon, connected with twenty
or more trust corporations is
treasurer of the republican ma
tional committee?
Does he forget that Charles +.
Brooker, president of a corPor-
alton now being proceeded against
by the government, is member
of the executive committee2
Does he forget that Frank o.
Lowden, of the Pullman car
company and Boies Penrose are
on that same committeer
Does he forget that Taft's
managers selected the head of
the Dupont powder trust for
treasurer of the national COM
mittee?
Does he forget that Taft knew
all about Foraker before he
sought him out and effected a
reconciliation and shook hands
with him on a public platform
And that Mr.. Taft accepted his
service until Hearst fired his
chargesr
Does he think his assumed
indignation over charges which
are not proven, but strenuously
denied and undoubtedly false, will
blind people to the rottenness oi
the republican campaign leaders
and the patent insincerity Of Mr.,
Taft2 If he does. he doesn't
know the American people. They
read and they remember.

QUEER how before and since
the convention the Pueblo Chief
tain denounced the Guggenheim
domination of the republican
party and now is boosting the
state ticket nominated under the
orders of this same Guggenheim.

"TAFT's Labor Record" is the
headline of an editorial in a lead
ing republican daily of this state.
Let's see. So far as his personal
labor is concerned he has held
Office for so many years that any
record prior to that is ancient his
tory. As to his leanings toward
the laborer, about the only place
where he has shown it was while
he was a federal judge granting
injunctions against labor unions.
That record is known and remem-
bered, no reminder necessary.

ONE of the strongest arguments
ever presented in favor OF the di.
rect primary for the selection OF
United States senators is-Gug-
genheim.
The foregoing is from the Pu-
eblo Chieftain, yet that paper is
energetically supporting a state
ticket put up by the Guggenhsim
machine. Beautiful consistency.

Winter flannel worth 10 cents

Winter flannel worth 10 cents a
pound taxed l44 per cent, but if
it is worth more than 70 cents a
pound the tax is SO per cent.
What do you think of that sort

reason why goods used by rich

TALK about calamity howlers.
the republican press has again
taken up the cry that business
will be demoralized and the
country go 10 destruction if
Bryan should be elected. That
sort OF scare has been worked un.
til it's efficacy has been worn out.
The people are in humor to
elect Bryan to see if things could
get any worse than they are and
have been.

SOME republican papers vic
iously oppose the guaranty of
bank deposits. evidently because
they think it party policy, not be-
cause they understand the sub
ject. The Grand Junction News
is one of that kind. In an article
opposing the plan, that paper
makes the truthful, but somewhat
impolitic statement. that "1n truth
the depositor's money is only the
raw material which is turned
over to the bank to work up into
profit for the bank" There you
have it Mr.. Depositor. You furn-
ish the raw material" and take
the chances; the bank works it
up" and takes the profit. What
is the matter with that sort of a
deal? And how they do work it
up" sometimes. The News ought
to invest in financial primer and
study it year or so.

WHEN the president OF the Man
ufacturers Association. an organi-
zation formed for the purpose of
destroying organized labor. and
of keeping the wages OF labor
down to the lowest possible point.
comes out with a declaration of
hostility to Mr.. Bryan and of de.
votion to Mr.. Taft. the friends OF
the Democratic party can very
we'll feel that they have made a
material gain. AT the same time
the Federation of Labor OF Chi
cago came out for Nr Bryan and
against Mr.. Taft. Is this going
to mean a direct clash between
the common people whom Lin
coin said the Lord must have
loved because he made so many
of them. and that sort of employ
ing class which finds its own pro-
fit in putting the dollar above the
man and in grinding the faces OF
the poor.-Lake City Phono-

let of newspaper cartoonists and
humorists and he could cry give
me liberty or give me dried ap-
piles without danger of being ad-
vised to try the latter alternative.
Those days are gone, but there
really seems to be no logical rea-
son for supposing they were any
better than our own. Oratory as
means of vote getting is out of
date and the political leaders re-
alize it. Hy ysterical denunciation
of one political party by another
appeals to the public sense of
humor and political leaders know
only too we'll how fatal is that
deadly weapon, ridicule.
So the little oratory that is
wasted on the ambient air in def
erence to prejudices of old-fash-
ioned people is toned and tanned,
sprinkled with amusing stories
and humorous anecdotes and
little in the way of returns is ex-
pected from it. In towns of any
size the organization of. marching
clubs and glee clubs is almost i'm
possible. Every year the leaders
find it more difficult to get their
forces out in purple and pink re-
galias and while there still sur
wives the species of antedeluvian
who dotes on dazzling the eye OF
the beholder or awakening the
echoes with siren rooster such
as we used to have IN the Ed
Wolcotr days. Even an ostrich
plume and a sword has less at
traction than of old.
The apathy apparent in this
campaign may be traced directly
to public sense ofthe ridiculous.
Political bombast makes the peo-
pie laugh. Fife and drum corps
make them tired and marching
clubs are objects of pity when
they are not subjects for un-
seemly mirth. We will never for
get the campaign of 1878 when
Jim Belford and Tom Patterson
chased each other around the
mining camps and made night
hideous with their ansthemas. the
one against the other. 1t was nip
and tuck as to which could utter
the most abuse and make the
most noise. While it was con-
sidered good sport in those days
it would be regarded as rather
vulgar in these more enlightened
times and 1t is probably quite as
we'll that we have gotten over
our old bombastic notions as 10

however, and Johnson will also recov-
