ZELAYA DEFENSE is WEAK
Effort to 0iscredt Secretary Knox
Really is Unworthy of Serious
Consideration

So far as the press summaries show.
the Zelaya attempt at proving Secre-
tary Knox's action against him to be
unjust and unfounded relies for its
main point of evidence on letter as
serted to have been written by
Leonard Groce to his mother Just be-
fore his execution, and stated to
have been retained "for diplomatic
reasons" The retention for six
months of letter from a man on the
eve of death for diplomatic reasons,
would be sufficient to cast doubt on it
N it contained anything to prove
what is claimed. But the fact is that
there is nothing whatever in the let
ter indicating the justice Of his exc
! cution.
In the letter Groce referred to him
self as "a wayward son." tells that he
coined the revolution in Bluefields
and was captured and sentenced to be
shot to DEATH" and sums up his fate
as "the result of war and disobedience
| to a loving mother" These are the
| sentiments which would naturally
come from a rowing spirit on the eve
Of death. But waywardness and dis
obedience are not in civilization capt.
tai crimes. Not one word in the let
ter weakens the claim that Groce and
! Cannon were entitled to the treatment
of prisoners of war or overcomes the
evidence before the inquiry instituted
by the Madriz government that they
were sentenced by the arbitrary or
ders of Zelaya himself.
When such a shallow claim is set
up on the basis of a letter that fur
nishes no proof it is a legitimate de-
duction that the Zelaya defense is so
weak as to fully vindicate Secretary
| Knox's course.

The Farmers Warned.

Mr.. Foss, the reciprocity man from.
Massachusetts. was inaugurated to
his seat in congress recently, with the
display of much enthusiasm by the
western corn growers. It's all very
funny now, when the corn growers
are banging away at Uncle Joe, and
having lots of sport with Taft and his
policies, but just wait till they get
onto what FCss' scheme really is.
Foss looks up in Canada and sees po-
tatoes selling for 80 cents bushel
below our price, and oats, butter, eggs.
chec1e. everything from the soil.
cheaper than 1t is on this side OF the
line. Then, Foss says. Let's buy our
products up there, Why do we pay
the west so much more for our food
than We can get it for OF our neigh
bors over the line? This is exactly
what Foss means by reciprocity, and
what everybody else who talks about
il means But wait till our agricul-
tural friends Of the west have thought
this business over awhile, and you viii
see a dimlnution Of their enthusiasm
for this great reciprocity champion

TAFT In THE RIGHT
N PRESENT POSITION As-To THE
PAYNE LAW.
Chief Executive at No Time Said He
Considered the Measure Perfect
Nor That 1t Was Really What
He Desired.

Some remarkable advice has been
offered to President Taft. Summar-
lied, 1t runs like this: 1T is not
too late for you to remedy the evil
you did last year by indorsing the
new tariff law. Come out now and
frankly confess that you spoke hastily
and with too little knowledge. You
have seen since, and know now, that
the law, instead of being the best. is
considered the worst tariff measure
the Republican party has ever en-
acted. 1t has divided the party east
and west, and will be source of trou-
bic while 1t remains on the books.
Stand up like a man, confess your
fault, advocate an immediate revision
of the revision, and all will be we'll"
What would be left of Mr.. Taft II
he were to do this thing? Who would
care n rap for his opinion on any of
the measures now pending in con-
gress If he should confess that he
dealt with the tariff question in ig-
norance, or without the sand to stand
up to his duty? He would make the
most pitiable spectacle of himself i'm
aginable. The act, in fact, would be
tantamount to suicide. But, more
than all, it would misrepresent Mr..
Taft's convictions. 1t would be base
Notwithstanding that would not
comport with Mr.. Taft's character.
In saying that the Payne law is
upon the whole, good law, Mr.. Taft
nnrfnpt He
had not concealed the fact while the
bill was taking shape that certain OF
its provisions were not to his taste
nor did he hesitate when signing the
measure to express regret that 1t was
not Just what he desired. He simply
made what he considered the best OF
a concededly difficult situation.
Nor has he attempted at any time
last year or this, to prescribe the
length of the measures life. He wants
il to have a trial. and doubts If the
business world would profit by an i'm
mediate reopening of the question
even to correct errors. But that is fol
the country to say. The president, II
he so desired, could not prevent dis
cussion of the subject, and If the
country wants the errors of the Payne
law corrected at once it can secure
such action.
There is much of good in the law
In fact, the good exceeds the bad, ant
a revision based upon the principle o
/ protection would leave much of the
| law unchanged. The bad should, anC
! must, &C, and there is no apparen
/ reason why Republicans shoult
/ slaughter one another at the polli
over the question of when and how
] to do it.

A Poor Trade.

What could the Democrats do II
they should capture the house? They
could not enact any laws. They could
not enforce any policies. They could
embarrass the opposition, but in the
end they would be compelled to vote
for appropriations to carry on a Re-
publican administration. They would
be thwarted in any effort to initiate
reforms. The phantom honors of the
house might start all kinds of in
testinal struggles among the Demo
Gratis The losers would be sore, and
the winners would discover that they
had traded off friends for empty
honors. Washington Post.

Right Man for Supreme Bench.

There has been through the length
and breadth of the land but one opin-
ion as to the fitness of the selection
when President Taft nominated Gov.
Charles +. Hughes of this state to
fiji the vacancy on the bench of the
Supreme court of the United States
caused by the death of Justice Brewer.
In character as a man and in ability
as a lawyer the governor meets every
requirement. and If, as has been sug-
gested, the presidents purpose has
been TO strengthen the august tribunal,
il will be generally conceded that the
object has been accomplished,-Troy

Helen Most Popular Name.

Statistics have been amassed by
some one in girls college, where
there is an enrolment of 1000. OF
this number more than 100 have the
name of Helen, which means light.
Mary came second with less than so.
Then followed Margaret. Ruth, Flor
ence and Elizabeth in that order. Old
fashioned names are frequent. There
are still many Hopes and Dorothys,
and few Emilys and Penelopes, but
Abigail, Huldah and Hepzibah seem to
have outlived their popularity in

with a sense of the debt that we owe
the old soldiers as the years roll by.
Those of MS who see the "old boys in
blue" marching through the streets
on Memorial day year by year, can
scarcely miss being struck by sense
of the weight of years that rests upon
the shoulders of this good gray
army" Remember it is more than
whole generation ago, as human life
goes, almost generation and half,
since the last recruit was enrolled in
the volunteer army of the Union just
before the war came to its close.
There are very few members of the
Grand Army. very few soldiers of the
Civil war, who are only at the three
score mark. Indeed, there are not
many of them who are not at the
psalmist's term of life, three score
and ten. There are but few alive who
answered the first call of President
Lincoln If the new recruit were only
twenty when that call went out, he
is sixty-eght now The soldier who
was thirty is nearly eighty.
1t is a touching thought 10 think Of
this noble army and look back through
the half-century that is gone by and
think of the bright, promising, sturdy
youths with life all before them, with
quickened pulses, with firm, unwaver-
ing tread that shook the earth in the
first army corps and brigades organ

Col. William H Bixby. who will sue
coed Gen. William L. Marshall as CHIEF
Of engineers Of the army. is regarded
as one of the abiest engineers in the
Corps Of Engineers.
Although never stationed In this city
he has been here frequently on public
business and is well known to many
residents, including prominent officials.
He is a brother-in-law of Paymaster
General e. B. Rogers of the navy.
Col Bixby was born at Charlestown.
Mass. in December, 1849, and will be
retired for age in December, 1913. He
was one of the star graduates at the
United States Military Academy in the

ly appointed to the Corps of Engineers.
He reached the grade OF colonel In
February, 1908. and Is now the senior
