THE DEFEAT OF TAFT. AND CAM

The vote which turned down Speak.
err Cannon and deprived him of the
power to select the House members
of the Ballinger investigating commit
tee was an event Of far reaching and
-smportant significance. This vote
demonstrated that the dmeocrats and
insurgents, when they Joined forces,
were masters of the situation.
The President was personally in
terested in the appointment of a.
committee which would uphold his
work in the selection of such man
as Ballinger for cabinet office and
the things which have been. done by
him in this Ballinger-Pinchot contro-
versey And Cannon ON general prin-
ciples has no higher aim in life than
the destruction of the insurgents.
To accomplish their objects Taft
and Cannon decided upon an agrees
sive campaign. Taft on his part is.
sued an order which, in effect, de-
prived the insurgent members OF
congress Of the patronage usually
accorded to such officials; and Can
non proposed to exclude the insur-
gents from all republican caucuses.
That was the condition of affairs
before the eventful vote. When the
roll-call was taken every democrat,
& except one, voted against the Speak.
er. The Tammany democrats who
voted with the Speaker at the spe'
cial session, had profited by theil
chastement in the recent municipa
election in New York. And the Pres
ident's order did not overawe the in
surgents. On the contrary it in
creased their numbers. and one O
z the new recruits was Mr.. Pickett
the member from this district.
The vote was an object lesson t.
President Taft. He had learne,
something in the school of experisnc'

administration was humping on tn

play that will be staged at the

matinee and those who contem-
plate attending had better secure
their seats in advance, because
this play comes here with the
record of having scored the big
gest triumph of any melodrama
ever produced by Mr.. Blaney in
New York, and the largest thea
tiers in the East have never been
big enough to accommodate peo-
pie who wanted to see this big
gest of all wild west plays. The
story is differentin every respect
from any other in a western play.

Theodore Roosevelt, the siren
GUS, has routed the old guard in
New York horse and dragon and
at the late state convention ne
was lord of all he surveyed. 1t
may have been a serious prob
lem in the past to figure out
what we would do with our ex-
presidents, but Roosevelt has set
the pace, and in the future they
will do for themselves, and that,
too, without the aid and assist
ance of their fellow citizens.
Roosevelt's success at the state
convention may give New York
state over to the Democrats, but
it is better by far that the old
guard be whipped out of exist
ence than that it win and con-
tinue it's rule of corruption in
the public affairs of the state.
The old guard made it's last stand
in New York and having lost
there it no longer has a leg to
stand on and the Progressives are
in control of the party machinery
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and from the Gulf to the Lakes.
This is an age of move on and
the old guard, who think they
they will be permitted to spread
themselves over the affairs OF
the land and dc nothing except
those things that they receive
orders from the higher ups to do
now find themselves in a bad
boat. Roosevelt has asked moth
ing unreasonable. He is not run
ming things with high hand.
No, no; he has only asked that
the interest of the common peo-
pie of the United States be given
some attention, which the higher
ups would not permit their rep
resentatives in Congress to do.
Vice President Sherman, the
man selected by the old guard
for the last stand, now knows
that people, the voters, are not
with him and how could they con
sistently be? Has not the men
that he represented at that con-
vention been always against the
voters? With Roosevelt as the
leader the voters have begun to
turn the scales on the Interests.

The rebels who charged Weyler with wanton
cruelty seldom restrained themselves from accom-
pishing deeds of violence likely to terrorize the
few remaining supporters of the Spanish rule. To
quote Weyer:
THE insurgents did not return in any way the
considerable treatment accorded to them by this
generous commander (Martinez Campos). At the
beginning of the war Maxine Gomez showed him
self very fair; but Maceo, as shall prove by
thentIc documents, ordered his bands to set fire

personally man he had sentenced to death, a
deed which call willful murder. And still that

As his authority for the foregoing statement

Cuban papers, but appends a proclamation Of
Maceo. Gomez's lieutenant, to his bands.
