Travellers arriving at Mountain
Home must obtain "a very poor
first impression of the town
from the dnapidated condition of the
sidewalks on either side of the park
from the station to Alturas street.
Many of the planks are loose. or
have rottened. and in a number Of
places nails protrude several inches.
There is ample opportunity for acct
dents. particularly after dark to say
nothing of the possibility of ruin TO
women's gowns and shoes. If no
provision has been made for improve
ments at these points, it is up to
the village board to induce the rail-
road company to lay good cement
walks and crossings, otherwise the
town or the railroad company may
have some damage suits to defend.

Especial Correspondence

Washington, Dec. 16.-Illinois repub-
licans are considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of inviting President Taft out to Chi
cago for the purpose Of introducing
him to some prominent citizens of that
state who have been loyal in their
support Of the republican party. They
have reached the conclusion that dur
ing his many visits to Illinois the pres
came in contact only with democrats.
For several months members Of the
Illinois delegation in congress have
been dissatisfied with President Taft 9
tendency to appoint democrats in Illis
nois and TO ignore the recommends
tons made in behalf Of republicans
from that state. The appointment OF
Julian w. Mack. of Chicago. to be a
member Of the new court of commerce
has aroused the Illinois republicans
where they are seriously considering
the advisability of calling on the Pres
ident for the purpose Of telling him
that his persistent selection OF demo-
Gratis is proving harmful to the demo-
Gratis
Too Many Democrats.
One member Of the Illinois dele cation
is authority for the statement that
every appointment of importance made
by President Taft in the state OF uli-
Eois has gone to democrat. The
President began his term by appoint
ing Franklin MacVeagh secretary OF
the treasury Mr.. Mac Veagh was for
many years prominently Identified with
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1910-12-16

the democratic party IN nlinois. y
1894 he was givon the democratic nom
nation for United States senator and
made q statewide campaign expound-
ing the democratic doctrine.
At the time President TAFT decided
upon Mr.. Macveagh to take charge Of
the treasury department he also Sc
lected Jacob McGavock Dickinson, a
secretary of war. During President
Clevelands last term Mr.. Dickinson
served as assistant attorney general
and since he became a member OF Pres
ident Taft's cabinet he has been can
didate for the democratic nomination
for United States senator from Ten
nesseee. Mr.. Dickinson was living in
Chicago at the time Of his appoint
ment by the president but he Is a native
Of Tennessee and votes there.
Lloyd c. Bowers. who recently died
was appointed solicitor general. I'LL
nois members of congress assert that
Mr.. Bowers had been prominently
identified with the democratic party IN
Illinois.
Crane Also . Democrat.
Following closely on the heels OF the
Rowers appointment came the nomin-
alton OF Charles Crane, Of Chicago, as
minister to China The nomination
was withdrawn later on because Of an
indiscreet speech made by Mr.. Crane
but the republicans still remember MS
nomination. The next appointment IN
Chicago, was that Of census super
visor, which also went to democrat
following which Judge Brown, demo-
crat Of Chicago, was made member
of the board Of visitors to the naval
academy. Now comes the nomination
of Mr.. Mack. a democrat, to be
member of the court Of commerce. MT
Mack is understood to be a personal
friend Of the presidents. The Illinois
republicans are wondering where the
presidents fancy is going to lead him
and they are not disposed to listen to
arguments that he Is looking for the
best men for the places at his COM
mand, irrespective Of politics.

Evidently no straw is too slight or
small for the congressional insurgents
to grasp in their hunt for indications
that Colonel Roosevelt will align him
self with them and with them alone
when he returns home.
You know what my position has
been on most progressive questions. L
have not changed them since I left the
United States. I will be glad to see
you and your committee upon my ar
rival in America
This is reputed to be the purport of
a reply which Representative Hamilton
Fish, of New York, one of the insurgent
clan, has received from Mr.. Roosevelt
tc g letter which Mr.. Fish sent him in
behalf of the insurgent cause Reports
from Washington indicate that these
words from Mr.. Roosevelt have brought
great comfort to the insurgents hearts
and that they will wait on him en-
masse when he reaches the United
States.
There is nothing in the words quoted
above which could not be accepted with
just as much solace by President Taft
and his friends. President Taft and
Colonel Roosevelt have always stood to-
StLlCl III lllOoA III OsoA S9SAfN qoCSblNIlE-
The reforms which Colonel Roosevelt
promulgated and preached have always
had the endorsement of President Taft.
Colonel Roosevelt frequently expressed
the opinion that Mr.. Taft was a better
man than he to work out these reforms
| in concrete fashion through the medium.
of just and equitable legislation. That
was why Mr. Roosevelt favored Mr..
Taft as his successor in the presidency.
! No word has been uttered by Presi-
l.dent Taft, no act has been committed
| by him. which would indicate that he
| has gone back a single step on the
progressive questions in which he and
Mr.. Roosevelt have ever been in agree
ment. If several Of them have not yet
