The adventures of William Pittman,
soldier of fortune and insurgent-at-
large, whom Secretary of State Knox
is endeavoring to extract from the
clutches of President Madriz of Mic
aragua, show how history keeps re-
peating itself, and in the case of Mic
aragua must keep on doing so. in all
probability, until the United States,

a little more than fifty years ago
an American was presiding over the
destinies of the much troubled Cen
trail American republic. The incident
is wildly, eloquently described in
James Jeffrey Roche's STORY of the
Filibusters." Walker was the prince
of flibusters. His career is one of the
most adventurous TO be found in the
whole encyclopedia of American enter
prise. Born in Tennessee in the days
west. the son of a Dundee banker who
had crossed the sea to find a larger
stage for action, a dabbler in newspa-
per work. young Walker ventured forth
into the far southwest at about his 18th
year and proclaimed himself president
of Sonora. Unappreciative Mexlcans,
who declined that sort of liberation,
drove him back across the border.
where he surrendered to American au-
thorities. Two years later, i'm 1856, the
same authorities found it expedient to
recognize Walker as president of Mic
araugua. An impulsive. restless, fear
less mana born filibuster IL there
ever was one-he swept all before him
in Nicaragua in 1855; but in 1851, when
the allies had pulled him down off his
high and shaky perch, an American
man of-war carried him off to New
York a prisoner for the second time.
a few years later the filibuster fever
got the best of him again. and this
time with the usual handful of dare
devils like himself. he captured Tru-
jillo, in Honduras; and perhaps he
would have been a president for the
third time but for the Intervention of
the British, who took him and turned
him over TO the Honduran officials
and on Sept II, 1860, this personally
pure, temperate, honest and fearlessly
brave rebel died under the Trujillo
The case of Pittman proves that the
spirit OF Walker is still in evidence.

fuses to take the part of Mr.. Il. u.
Mark, a role made famous by the al
legged comic papers. SO he passes out
this for the benefit Of the Hon. Amos
and the Hon. Pat-which is cal
culated TO hold them for a while:
I'VE sent the candidates a series of
questions. The three republican cam
didates have replied We shall take
no definite action on these replies until
we have heard from the democratic
candidate, whoever he may be. OF the
three republicans Osborn came out
fiat-footedly and told us he was OPP
posed TO the tonnage tax and told us
why. He was square, toed i'm the mat
ter and made no attempt to dodge the
point. The other two candidates made
nice sounding replies, but lodged the
issue entirely. They neither said they
favored or were against 1t. Therefore
we have on the tonnage tax question
but one reply really before U.S."

the insistent cry for reform which
finally led to the passage of a state

AS to what Mr.. Osborn stands for
in the present camoaign in which he
seeks the Republican nomination for

is against machine domination and
the ruling of the masses by sracial
interests. He is for a cleaning out IN
