Reed and Francis, candidates
for United States Senator, spoke
at the Old Settlers reunion at
Montgomery City Saturday. They
were notified in Odvance that the
reunion barred political speeches
or references to politics. Francis
didn't even hint at politics.
but Mr.. Reed just couldn't re
frain from telling the people how
he had always voted the straight
Democratic ticket from President
to Constable, inclusive. 1t was
a sly slap, of course, at Francis.
Old Regularity is too dead to
r%esurrect and Mr.. Reeds effort
to call him from the tomb as a
witness to help his case will fail.
The people do not elevate a man
to office now because he is an,
| always-vote- 'er-Straight fellow.
That old appeal to political pre-
judice is unworthy of a man big
enough and broad enough to
represent the intelligent people
of Missouri in the highest legisla-
tive body in the world. Neither
do they want a man there who
always has a chip on his shoulder
for members of the opposition
parties. A fellow whose's Away,
railing at those of a different pO-
litical faith from himself, will
soon cripple his usefulness as a
legislator. The Torchlight hopes
Mr.. Reed will not persist in his
beligerant attitude and in his APP
peal to political passion. 1t has
a high regard for his ability and
his sagacity as a lawyer and these
things are beneath him.-Shelbina
Torchlight.

Vital Washington News

throughout the land, and in the
insurgent districts particularly,
are becoming impatient at ROOse-
velt's apparent reluctance to state
exactly where he stands on the
subject of insurgency.
The result is that Theodore
Roosevelt is not quite as popular
an ex-president as he was i'm
mediately following his return
from Afriea.
This is an unbiased conviction
that has been forced upon me
after having travelled from
Washington to the Pacific coast
and back. l have talked with
hundreds of persons of all classes
and have s]Ojourned especially in
the insurgent districts.
Roosevelt is not unpopular. |
do not wish to convey that i'm
preston. He still has a large
following.
But many Of R~oosevelt's adj
mirers seem to feel the ex-presi-
dent is waiting to see which
faction of his party is the strong
est, instead of making a decision
morally right.
If Roosevelt acts quickly and
with clear-cut candor he may
prevent further inroads on his
popularity. If he does not so
act, the movement which he is
given credit for having started
will march on without him, with
LaFollette or some other genuine
progressive at the head.
WILL T. R. AID LODGE2
Word has come into the west
via the Associated Press that
Roosevelt will campaign for the
reelection of Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts,.

sumner is a myth.

Fourth: Experience has vindi-

ALDRICH AT HEADQUARTERS
Quite an important conference
was held on j. Pierpont Nor
gan's yacht "Corsair,' off New
port, r. l. recently.
1t is understood that MOrgan's
guests included Senator Nelson
w. Aldrich, Senator George P.
Wetmore, who had just returned
from seing President Taft at
Beverly, and Charles d. Norton,
the President S secretary.
Morgan is known to take the
view that Aldrich's promised re-
tirement from the Senate would
be a natural calamity" and
it is believed he urged Aldrich to
reconsider the matter.
Politicians in Rhode Island
have never believed Aldrich
would retire at the end of this
term, as he announced last spring
1t was not expected that Wall
Street would consent to lose its
most able representative in the
Senate.
FAVORING NECESSITIES"
President Taft asserts that il
the Payne-Aldrich bill necessities
were favored" at the expense o
luxuries. Here are a few com
parsons which show how the Re
publicans really Favored" the
necessities The necessity raw
sugar was taxed 65 per cent.
while the luxury diamonds, cut
but not set, were taxed only
10 per cent. Such necessities as
blankets, flannels, women's dress
goods, shawls, knit goods, wear
ing apparel and other wooden
manufactures, were made to pay
a tax of from so to 40 per cent.
while the luxury automobiles
were taxed but 40 per cent.

Puts His Whole Case Up to the
Cabinet and Promises TO Re-
sign II Not Upheld.
MEETING WILL BE CALLED
Countrywide Protests Force Of
fiCiaI ACtiOn-Last Trial of
His Policies.

BEVERLY, September IT, Secretary
Of the Interior Ballinger, assailed with
storm Of disapprobation from the en-
tire country, has been forced TO put his
whole case up to the cabinet with the
assurance that if it does not sustain
him in his policies, he will resign his
position.
This statement was made today from
the "summer capital" authoritatively-
A midvacation meeting of the cab
met will be held as soon as possible to
consider this new feature of the Bal
linger matter, the strongly unfavorable
report of the Democrats and insurgents
on the Ballinger investigation commit
tee forcing official action.
Ballinger states that unless the ad
visers of President Taft fully uphold
him he will resign, acceding to the de-
mands of many insurgent States as ex-
pressed at the late primaries. This will
probably mean that the charges of Gif-
ford Pinchot and CLAWS as presented
to the congressional committee that in
vestigated them, will be again gone
over in substance.

FIGURES
SHOW REAL HORRORS

ST. PETERSBURG, September IL
The resume of the cholera epidemic that
has swept over Russia shows the actual
conditions to exceed in horror those
which were supposed to be the case.
Official figures published yesterday show
that up to the present date there have
been 1S2,237 cases reported.
Out of this number there have been
1858 deaths-as many as resulted from
the terrible black plague that swept
over early England.

CONSTITUTIONAL

Republicans criticize our Demo,

said Candidate L. L. McCandless who
wants to become congressional delegate.
a'They say it's only a bargain be-

ment and can be ended at any time.
"The supreme court has declared
constitutional the two-per-cent income
tax, and if the Republicans say the
special income tax is not binding We
add the special tax to the regular and
make it four per cent. Z"
When asked if this wouldn't be an
injustice to the salaried man, Deacon
Trent said the exempted amount could
be raised to protect him.
