with conspiracy to debauch voters, .
in having disbursed So, 900 to carry
the recent republican congressional
primary, former Congressman Joseph
Sibley was secretly arrested last night.
He was later released on his own re-
cognizancc.
The arrest, following so quickly on
Sibley's announcement that he could
not make the race for Congress be-
cause OF his weak heart" and the
statement that the primary expendi-
lures were to be investigated, has
caused sensation in this district.
Not only Sibley, but his campaign
managers and confidential representa-
tiycs are involved in the criminal
charges.
Sblcy will appear before Justice OF
the Peace II. F. Perry at Warren, Pa,
Friday.
The information against Sibley was
made by Constable Walter Paige, OF
Warren, Pa. Paige obtained the war
rant and served it on Sibley last night
at SibIey's home here. In the infor-
nation Frank Fl. Taylor, secretary to
Sibley, is named as co-defendent.

charge that his withdrawal was made
in the hope that the probe of his
enormous expenditures would be dis
continued.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING, AUG. D

AS may have been expected, Presl-
dent Taft is still standing by Theodore
Roosevelt. The substance OF state
ment made by the former, which Will
be found elsewhere in the Gazette, tells
the story. The president says he never
took any part in committee cabal to
defeat Roosevelt for temporary char
man of the coming republican convcn-
ton OF New York. On the contrary,
he explicitly deplores the result OF the
committee meeting which chose Vice
President Sherman. He rebukes The
partly leaders who have permitted tc
90 abroad uncontradictcd that the pres
ident of the United States was behind
their factional preferences Inc insists
that at every opportunity he advised
the fullest conference with former PreS-
ident Roosevelt, and says he has been
panied by the columns OF unlounued
assertions in the newspapers concerning
his attitude in respect to the New York
situation. The presidents letter
throughout is temperate though posi-
tive. He does not hesitate to charge
that the republican organization OF the
state had played politics with the prcsl-
dents name and misreprcscntcd his at
titnde. He asserts that some OF the
old guard are not seeking republican
success at the coming election, but they
wish to perpetuate their control OF the
republican organization at any cost to
the party. Mr.. Taft has been i'll Il
dilemma for some time. He found
himself in position by which he was
compelled to take his choice between
the vice president Of the United States
and a former chief executive. dc has
concluded to stand by the latter. The
rent in his party is destined TO widen
all the time, no matter which cause he

The tragedy Of the death OF the
lady near Star Wednesday from
ptomaine poisoning should be q

their duty and protect the people
have been slandered in many cases
where they should have been help

comes around treat him as friend.
What Meridian needs is a more
pronounced public spirit. Take
any community whose citizens are
intent only on their private affairs
and YOU find a community that
does not progress as it should. II

upon the wrong idea that it does

Get out of the Notwithstanding
habit, as there is no record of an
Idaho community being ruined by

there is evidence Of communities
being permanently retarded by
failure to provide themselves with
improvements when the time came.
Bonds Of community are as le-
climate as a mortgage on a
farm. Perhaps three-fourths of
the people buying farm do not
pay the full price, but no one can
say the system is wrong On the
other hand, small mortgage on a
place is an incentive to economy
and industry, as the buyer desires
to pay it off and will save more as
he goes along than if he were free
