1000 days attendance The result of this law is,
that in counties like King the taxpayers pay to
the state in school taxes under the levy, consider
ably more each year than that county receives
back from the state on the apportionment.
Perhaps no recent news has afforded the demo-
cratic candidate for president so much interest as
the announcement that Mr.. Taft proposed making
a campaign tour M. Bryan regarded his oppo-
nents decision as distinctive vindication of his
in the present as we'll as his two previous
paigns, when he travelled over the country deliver
ing political speeches. When asked if he had any
comment to make on the subject Mr.. Bryan said
We'll, am getting great deal of consolation
out of the way the president and Mr.. Taft have
been doing. I used to be called hard names be-
cause advocated an income tax and now the in
come tax has been indorsed by the president and
Mr.. Taft
II used to be bitterly denounced because
favored railroad regulation. Now the president
and Mr.. Taft have brought that reform into popu-
larity and am no longer considered singular.
Il used to get good deal of criticism because l
favored tariff reform, but now tariff reform has
become so urgent that Mr.. Taft is willing to have
special session called Immediately after the in
auguration TO act on the subject 1t used to be
that when l talked about independence for the
Filipnos I was told that the American flag never
came down when it once went up. Now we have
republican candidate for president who believes
that the Filipinos must ultimately have independ-
ence.
And now my greatest sin is to be made virtue
by imitation. Surely imitation is the sincerest
form Of fattery When went out campaigning
in 1896 and 1900 they said it was demogogic to run
around over the country hunting votes. Now it is
eminently proper, since Mr.. Taft is going to do it.

Eugene w. Chain, prohibition candidate for
president, expresses the following sentiments re-
gardng local option, which the liquor interests are
striving to obtain by means of the republican party
in this state:
These people who are asking for local option
on the liquor question will be asking next for local
option on the 10 commandments -
What we need in this movement more than a
prohibition law is prohibition mayor and pro-
hibition sheriff and prohibition governor and a
prohibition president"
Local option is farce Your old parties put
it in their platforms to keep you from killing the
liquor traffic by electing prohibition officials to
office"
"You can not make it right by law to do some
thing on side of the street that is wrong to do
on the other side of the street."
49,
Your vote for Taft is your vote thrown away
What can he do for you? What could he do for
you even if he Wanted to? LaFollette and Roose-
velt have undoubtedly wanted to do something for
the public, but they were turned down by the re-
publican congress and the republican convention
which nominated Taft. When men like Roosevelt
and LaFollette are unable to do anything with the
republican party, what can fgurehead do?
49,
Protection is the cry of the high tariff advo-
Gates But who should receive this protection, the
trusts or the people?
Burglar Trust Manager will be required to
turn night into day, to throw aside all sentiment,
to enter the houses of the best families regardless
of their feelings to act the hypocrite and, if nec-
essary, to go to Jail.
Applicant-Um! You don't want an ordinary
burglar. What you want is newspaper reporter.
What am oratory, Brudder Jackson?
Brudder Smmins will elucidate. If you says
black am white, dat am foolish, but if you says
black am white an bellers like a bull and pounds
on table wifi bofe fists, dat am oratory, an some
people will believe you.
