Roman Catholics have reason to

New York would be a Jewish CON-

Governor Barstow writes to the Ban

gratifying to hear the numerous and
hearty expressions of favor In regard

CALAMITY AND SANITY.

The Foraker program in Ohio against
Taft has been stated by Senator Dick,
"to appeal to the people and business
men on the ground that sanity and pros
perity are better than unchecked reform
and calamity" That proposition, there
fore, acknowledges that the republican
administration has been q failure and
has produced calamity and panic. Con.
gress, which includes Dick and Foraker,
is also responsible for the fact that tariff
protection is not panic proof and does
not produce prosperity, as much as the
president is, for the republican majority
Of congress has refused to revise the tar
if which shelters the trusts and has
omitted to revise our financial laws to
meet new conditions. What is the use,
therefore, OF the appeal to the people and
business men, who are suffering from re-
publican mismanagement, for they will
certainly turn a deaf ear to those who
have led them to their present pass, and
who have shown little sign OF sanity.

plan to build this 100 mile highway
connecting the greatest army posts In
the country is heartily favored. They
