Many Persons Have Lost Confidence
in Taft's Associates and Advisers

Kansas. Eloquent missionaries, preach
ing the doctrine of old-time Republi-
canism and defending reactionism and

unavailing.

Payne. Dalzell and every other man
responsible for the new tariff and the
prevailing order of things, and the
campaign will still be futile in more
than half the districts now represented
by Republicans unless the Republican
nominees are progressives of undoubted
sincerity.
There are some things the people
want done. and they are going to elect
men to do them"
The president has got in with the
wrong men and they are doing him
grave injury. They use him and his
popularity to pull their chestnuts from
the fire. If he would ally himself with
the progressives of his party rather
than the sordid gang OF professional
politicians he would quickly restore the
old-time enthusiasm and affection for
himself that now seems to be waning
under the influence of his strange al
liances. How can victories be won
when the rank and file are suffering
from acute disgust and dlstrust of the
leaders imposed on them against their
will?

KNEW WHERE HE WAS

tale about a man named Harper, an
odd old character, who played from
bone in. one of the small theaters there.
One time they were rehearsing a new
overture. Throughout the piece Har-
per was a little behind the rest of the
men. Before they started it a second
time the leader reproved Harper for
not coming in more regularly with the
other players. When they attempted
1t again Harper came in, as usual, two
of three beats behind time. The lead
er stopped and, after letting loose lot
of profanity, demanded to know if the
trombonist knew he was playing about
half a dozen notes behind the others.
Harper nodded. That's all right

WHOLESALE HYPNoTIsM

To hvpnotize one man at a time Is
No trick at all in these days OF mental
suggestion. But to hypnotize whole
communities and to keep them hyp-
Noticed is a good deal of an achieve
ment. Philadelphia is the latest com
munity to reveal its hypnotic state

go by the name of "Outside interfer-

is it? As to the merits of the strike
in detail, we are not posted, but this
much we do know: that what the p. r.

to its employees. The p. r. II. is a
monopoly, a union of financial and
traction interests bent on keeping out
for all time competition that would
tend to reduce fares and force i'm
provements. The men want recogni-
tion of union bent on keeping out

would reduce wages and lengthen

TO supplant the war system by law

county a system of good roads cost
ing $S,500,0O0, was shown early in the
game by the improvident, and some
think. dishonest effort to sell the bonds
at price and upon terms which
would have cost the taxpayers of this
county at least 100000 had the sale
gone through. That the sale did not
go through was owing to the action
of the same advisory committee, which
in the report yesterday submitted to
the board of supervisors, again calls
attention to the utter failure of officials
in charge of the good roads system to
do their duty by this great undertake
these men to accomplish anything
worthy of respect in the two years in
which they have had the matter in
charged in view OF the further fact
that what they have done has been
wrongfully done and some things that
they attempted to do and been pre-
vented from doing would have made
even a worse record, It would seem
that the only thing left for the mem
bers of the highway commission is to
resign their positions, in which they
have failed TO give satisfaction to the
people. and to allow the board of SUI
pervisors to name their successors. If
these designations are not rendered
promptly, then it is up to the board of
supervisors to take steps to see that
their positions are vacated and are
filled with some efficient men.
If this is not done it is very safe to
say that the people of Los Angeles
county at the coming autumn cleo
ton will see that the places on the
board of supervisors are so filed after
election that these much needed re-
forms in the good roads work will be
accomplished.

loss would forgive his brother, or
debtor OF anyone else!
There may be some noble Instances
of individual forgiveness. There may
be some notable exceptions. Such in
stances and exceptions prove the rule.
knowing human nature, Jesus asked
i'm his time and through the record of
his words is still asking
."Nhy call ye me Lord, Lord, and

If all the people who attend church

Canyon 3; Hereford 0.

Monday morning the team
representing the Hereford Col
lege got a severe drubbing at the
hands of the Canyon High School
in a very stort game of three
innings. 1t cannot be decided
whether Hereford's hard luck
could be attributed to their trip
to Plainview or whether the local
aggregation outclassed them in
welding the tim Der but the score
card shows Canyon to begin with
the first man up getting a single
the next, two-bagger followed
by Thompson's regular and ex-
pected three-bagger in the same
place-right field, while Here
ford's side of the card shows not
a man to have passed second
base.
The game was called after the
third inning so that the collie
gians might be able to catch the
train and they seemed ready and
willing to go after finding out
they had more to contend with
than they had bargained for.
The final score was three and
nothing and, as this is probably
the last game of the season as a
school team, the boys went at
it with vim that almost com
pletely swept the big visiting
team off their feet.
