Bulls Eye Shots,

The new diplomacy" inaugurated in
the foreign policy Of the United States
proclaius truth and frankness as it's
characteristics. 1t is the absolute can
dor of Mr.. Taft in consulting openly
with his predecessor in the White
House upon questions relating to the
public good as allied with Republican
victory that so COMPOUNDED his critics.
There is nothing so dazzling as the
white light of courageous candor.
Both political parties can fly the
American flag on land, but it is the Re
publican party that would keep the
American flag flying at sea over the
American merchant marine.
When Mr.. Taft delivered his speech
Of acceptance the country understood
why he could not make it shorter
Every word counts, and every word
tells; not one could be spared.
Taft hits hard. He is in the heavy
weight class and the opposition recog-
nizes that there is nothing soft about
his fighting. Every blow he lands Is
weighted with the force of conviction.

When Mr.. Bryan goes campaigning
down South some man may be thought
less enough to interrupt him IN the

tion?" asks Hr. Bryan. Bless your
heart. the average man understands it
without any explanation. - Omaha

WANTS A LARGER ARMY.
President May Ask Congress for 10000
Increase.

President Roosevelt in his final annual
message to Congress probably will rec
commended an increase in the numerical
strength of the army 70 at least 100000
men. At present the army is on a foot
ing of 10000 men, the number provided
for in time of peace. To the general
staff it has become evident in the last
two years that 10000 men are too few
properly to garrison the posts at which
il is necessary to maintain an army
force. These posts include the garrisons
in the insular possessions of America.
The law provides that the army may be
increased to 100000 men in time of
need.

TAFT GAINING STRENGTH.
Independent Political Writer Finds
Republican Candidate Popular.

1hdepcnueuL TO1lClCdl WT1Ler r 1uOS
Republican Candidate Popular
Walter Wellman, the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Record
Herald, thinks Taft is gaining strength.
Writing Of his candidacy recently he
said:
1T is not denied that for some weeks
after the Chicago convention there was
in the East, at least, an undertone Of
prejudice against Judge Taft, springing
from the belief that he was mere
echo of Roosevelt; that he was mot
his own man." that he could not have
been nominated but for the President
aid, and that he is only a stalking horse
for the man at Oyster Bay. Curiously
enough, many men who like Roosevelt,
and would vote for him If he were to
'un again, felt lukewarm toward Taft
because of this belief that he was only
tie Presidents shadow. Now this fcIi-
ing is largely wearing away. Il never
was entertained by men wh0 knew the
facts. who knew Taft himself, who
we've familiar with the strength of his
character, his independence of mind.
But the men who did entertain it are
beginning to perceive that he is his
own man and a strong one 1t that.
The more speeches Taft ulhlcs, the
more frankly and plainly he talks, tie
less will there be of this mistaken no.
ton that he is overshadowed by an
other. Taft's frank talk on the LABOR
ard injunction questions and his riain,
blunt denial Of the foolish story that
he once said 81 day was wages
enough for a working man, has done
him more good than his more iabOred
and pretentious efforts.
Judge Taft's friends argue that to
some extent he has been a misunder-
stood man, and they want him to take
the stump to show the country what
be really is. They would like to have
tie masses of the people look upon him
n the same way as he is looked upon
by residents of this city, where he Is
81 well known Ask any man OF the
rational capital, be he Republican or
Democrat, what he thinks o. Judge
Taft, and he will tell you that Taft
is one of the biggest, strongest, finest
characters we have ever had in public
life. This is my own opinion, and for
twenty years l have known and watch
ed most of the important mon of Con-
gress and of the government OF both
parties. / am not a hero worshlper,
nor a partisan. But Taft has impressed
me, as he impresses every ono who
really gets to know him, as the finest
ty pc of man this country produces, and
better fitted by temperament and train
ing and experience for the difficult
task Of the presidency than any man
we have had IN that office for many
wears. The friends and admirers OF
the Republican candidate believe the
country should know the man as he
/, and as he is known to be; and they
think the best way to bring tnat about
Ia for him to travel and speak lton
one end of the country to the other"

ANTWERP, Sept. THE police here
today arrested Count De Toulouz-Lau-

pons. The count protested against his
arrest, claiming to be an American cltl-

Nicholas E. Savine, also known as
Count De TOulouz-Lautrec and Prince
Savine, has a long record of adrolt swim
dies in various parts of Europe and is
also known in the United States. When
arrested at Bremen three years ago and
taken to St Petersburg to stand trial
on a charge of swindling, Savine told
a romantic story of his adventures and
alleged prosecutions, and appealed to
Emperor Nicholas, in return for the serv-
ices of his ancestors and himself to Rus

He asserted that he was n2turalized an
American citizen in Chicago, April 81,
1898, and in his petition to the EN-
peror then set forth that he was de-
scended from long line of counts and
princes who intermarried with the noble
French family of Toulouz-Lautree.
Savins in his youth was an officer in
the aristocratic chevalier guards and left
the service owing to falling into the
hands of usurers, but later was allowed
to serve as a volunteer IN the Turkish
war of 1877. He recounted in detail
a long series of trials on various charges.

Escaped from Siberia.
The final result of these charges was
his Punishment to Siberia, whence, after
various adventures, he escaped to
America. Savine asserted that he served
as captain of the United States cavalry
during the war with Spain, and said
that he was wounded at Santiago.

When we come to contemplate the
vast field Of natural western resources,
available for food, for industry and
for commerce; when we attempt to
grasp in one act Of thought, the
length and breadth and depth OF the
riches with which Providence has
loaded this section; when we try to
realize how every possible want, every

consider how measureless are the
values which will spring into being I'M
der the Republican policy of dealing
with the west, and how these values
when once created are solid and real,
can be incorporated into the epdur-
ing structure of human society, we
may begin to estimate properly the
measure of responsibility which rests
upon this nation and its chosen rulers.
This is not merely to preserve I'M
harmed the priceless boon of civil lib
erty which leaves the Individual citi-
zen free to do his share in work Of
development, but to adopt such meas
