TAFT a TRUE AMERICAN

The action Of President Taft
in cutting down Army and. Navy
expenditures is meeting with the
strong and earnest approval of the
people who produce more than
they consume.
Nations that foster the fighting
attitude are like "gun men," they,
are in great danger Of finding what
they are looking for. The man
who carries a shooting-iron is a
very bad life insurance risk.
America can't afford to initiate
the senile countries of the East,
soldier ridden and priest ridden.
Taft has the true American
Spirit.-The Fra.

REPUBLICAN, STATESMEN

For the first time in the history
of tariff legislation under the re-
publican party, the leaders for
downward revision have been on
the republican side. For the first
time the expert authorities bring
ing light to bear on the iniquities
of tho system as it has boon oper.
ated are republicans. In the SEN
ate whore by far the better fight
for reductions has been made, the
country has witnessed a complete
exposure of the sugar steal, made
by Senator Bristow; Of the cotton
and WOODEN steals, made by La
Toilette and Dolliver; of the to-
bacco steal, made by Beveridge; of
the steel graft, made by Cummins;
Of the pulp and paper graft, made
by Brown; of the lumber graft,
made by Nelson.
These men have become experts.
They have forced the majority, in
order to accomplish its purposes,
to disregard incontestable facts,
presented by members of the re-
publican party. not by the opposi-
ton party.-Kansas City Star.

Judge Gavin, of Denver, has
been making personal raids in the
opium Joints in that city. He
sums up the situation as follows:
There are more than l, 900 opium
fiends in Denver today. You can't
treat this cancer; you've got to re-
move it The 70 are cases in Den
yer where use of opium by young
wives has wrecked homes. Den.
yer opium dens are the breeding
ing place for repetition of the

be expressed in one word-degen
eracy. The evil effects of opium
are a thousand per cent greater
than the evil effects of whiskey.

Judqe Robertson Aqain,

Judge A. Heaton Robertson contin- ues to be discussed as the next candi- date for the governorship of the dem ocratic party, and 1t is intimated in New Haven that he is a receptive candidate" Judge Robertson has been twice nominated and twice defeated for the governorship, but it is the opinion of certain democratic leaders that he may be persuaded to run again, in view of the hopeful democratic out look alleged to have been created by the acts of omission and commission of the last republican legislature, which left openings as wide as a barn door for the enemy to march through.
 The defeat of the public utilities bill especially is held to be invaluable cap- ital for the democrats, and the knock- ing out c: bills concerning employers liability and the removal of the $5,000 limit in damage suits for accidental deaths is banked on to help.
 Whether the leaders can paint a rain- bow rosy enough to beguile Judge Robertson from the serene calm of private life, however, remains to be seen. In New Haven the sentiment for Robertson is practically universal among the leading democrats and there fs a feeling of confidence in the judges 'receptiveness." No other can- didate has been prominently mention ed, thus far-and they've got to run mebody.-Hartford Post.

BREED THEATER.
Casters Last Battle, Greatest Indian
 Picture Made.

Realizing the great interest that his patrons have in truly good western pictures. Manager McNulty has secur- cd for the remainder of the week the great attraction, entitled On the Little Big Horn, or Custer's Last Battle.
 To correctly display the genuine bat tDeL the facts and events leading up to it are introduced in a logical manner, showing the arrest of Rain-in- the Face, by Tom Custer in the winter of 1874, two years later, the arrival of General Custer at Post Fort Lincoln. The next scene shows the willy Indian leader with his band of naked painted devils leading Clusters cavalry into a trap. The brave general is tantalized by them into making charge, and as the patriotic little handful of men un- der Custer reach the next hilltop they find themselves surrounded by nearly three thousand Sioux warriors who are waiting for the slaughter.
 The last battle now takes place, and the red circle of death closes in about the white soldiers, and the forty-five men are killed and Rain-in- the Face Is avenged.
 Every Indian character is genuine, many of them being members of the original band, now peaceable land own CTS in the vast west that was once the hunting grounds of the warlike race they sprang from. What is said to be the finest scenic story drama the Bio- graph company has ever made will also be shown. besides many other features.

The Fate of Explorers.

In the recently published autobiog- raphy of the late Henry M. Stanley, the famous African explorer dwells with much bitterness on the unkind and even cruel reception given him by dis tinguished men of science on his re- turn from the Dark Continent. What was my reward?" he asks, and con- tinues: "Resolute devotion to cer- tain ideal of duty, formed after much self -exhortation to uprightness of con- duct and righteous dealing with my fellow creatures, had terminated in my being proclaimed to all the world first as a forger and then as buccaneer, adventurer, a fraud and an imposter. It seemed to reverse all order and se- quence, to reverse all l had been taught to expect" Almost might Dr. Cook write in the same strain. Stanley was a sensitive man for all his seeming hardness, and the attitude of men like Sir Henry iRawlinson, Francis Galton and other prominent men in the Royal Geographical society, an attitude frankly contemptuous, stung him to the quick. Stanley in the story of his life recurs again and again to the hos tility he encountered from men of science. He lived to establish all his claims and to become honored in the scientific world.-Mexican Herald.

THE AUDITORIUM.

The moving picture sensation of the season is being shown at the Auditori- um Wednesday and Thursday. Drink is the title of this wonderful film, for wonderful it Is fin more ways than one, In the first place it is the longest sub ject ever taken of one subject. taking nearly three-quarters of an hour to run. The actors are the most talented French pantomimists and the settings are perfect. It is taken from Emile Zola's famous novel L'Assomoir. (Drink). The complete play is shown. and the death of Croupeau at the fin- ish is a most finished piece of acting. Two comedy reels will also be shown. Have you seen those funny contortion- ists, Welch and Muitland? Well, don't miss them, if you enjoy a good laugh. The entire programme this week at this popular theater is first-class, the clever comedy character work of Billy Barry, Jr.. deserving special mention, however.
