Cannon and Aldrich Followers Admit
Defeat and Are Beginning to Retire
From the Field-Fig ht Hard for the
Old Ways, and Presidents Pro-
gram Still in Great Danger.
Washington, ID. c.


April %, 1910.
Thus the old order changeth, Civ
ing place to new,
Lest one good custom should cor
rupt the world"
So sang the great poet ON the pass
ing of King Arthur, the heroic legen-
Diary savior of Britain. And so may
we say today in witnessing the pass
ing of the old leadership under which
the Republican party has lived and
won for forty years.
There has clearly come out here
this week for the first time the Ger
tainity that the leaders of the old
school know they are defeated. For
eight ye2rs-ever since Roosevelt took
McKinley's place as president-the
leaders who have controlled the
Republican party for forty years, have
been facing a new element within the
party-an element which they could
not control, which they did not I'M
derstand, and which they hated. Slow
ly this element has grown, first amor
tho vo.ers, and then, by hard fighting,
among the Congressman. And now
the old leaders admit defeat, and we
shall soon see the reins of leadership
and the responsibilities of control
handed over to the men of the new
movement.
1t is customary TO accuse many of
the old leaders of corruption in the
Interests of the great corporations and
trusts which have grown up under
their care. But this is, in many cases
at least, unjust. They believed in
certain principles of government, and
have worked on those principles. They
have written them into the law OF
the land, and We have become a rich
nation under them. Their god was
Business, and their battle cry was
Prosperity" And their methods and
laws have stimulated business and
brought prosperity, till no nation
that ever lived has had the wealth
of America. Their principles were
approved and their me hods indCrsed
| by the men that elected them, and
they have simply held to the old faith.
But the world has moved on. Shrewd
men have taken advantage of the
times to steal, and have hidden under
cover of the law made to protect bust
ness. Great injustice has been done,
anG the people have found that many
men were getting more than their
share of the prosperity produced, while
the great majority were getting less
than their due So there has been
growing a revolt against the old meth
ods-a revolt which has had for it's
watchword Justice and Equality"
People have demanded that the laws
should be made for the protection Of
the buyer as well as the seller, of
the poor man as well as the rich
of good living as well as of good bust
ness.
And this has brought the revolt in
the Republican party. Roosevelt, head
inc the movement for new laws, has
been rallying the people behind him.
The old men, seeing only the possible
damage to business, have rallied to
the defense of their old customs. And
from this they have taken the name
of their faction. They are Stand-pat-
ters. Like a man who in a hand of
poker, does not draw cards, but is
satisfied with what he has, they

Mr.. S. {. WEIGHS FUNERAL

The funeral of Samuel f. Welch,
held at his home here last Friday,
was one of the largest known in Be-
rea Hundreds of citienzs, and visi-
tors from outside, as well, attended
the services and followed the body to
its last resting place in the vault in
the Berea Cemetery.
The funeral was conducted by the
Rev/Mr. Carrier of Valley View, who
has had charge of the building of the
new Methodist Church here Music

of Misses Cornelius and Ambrose, and
Messrs Gamble and Hopper. The act
ing pail bearers were Messrs. John
Fowler, w. II. Porter, Scott T. McGu-
ire, f. p. Lewis, J. w. Stephens, S.
r. Baker, Jno. Gay and Nathan Welch.
There was also long list of honorary
pail bearers.
over hundred carriages followed
the hearse, and probably thousand
persons witnessed the interment.
SO far as has been found, Mr.. Welcf
left no will. John Welch has, for the
time being, at least given up his stu
dies at Yale, and has taken charge
of the business. Every thing there wa
left in excellent condition. There was
no debts, and probably no executor
will need to be appointed.

"Cop" Blind TO Beauty.

When a young lady was summoned
at Crewe. England, recently, by con-
stable for riding her cycle without a
light, the superintendent of the po-
lice said he was surprised that such a
smart-looking young officer should
have summoned such a handsome
young lady and declined to press for
a conviction. The chairman said the
policeman's action did not speak
much for his gallantry.

MILLIONS OF DAMAGE:-The cold
SPELL which struck here was general
over all America east of the Rocky
Mountains, and did immense damage.
Early reports indicated that the fruit
and spring wheat crops of the entire

later adyices say that there will be
something saved The cotton crop
as far south as the middle Of Alabama
is also gone, and the loss from this
alone has been estimated at as high
as half a billion dollars. Probably
later reports will modify this estimate,
also The fact remains, however, that
the damage Is as great as has ever
struck this country from cold wave,
and Is much more wide spread than
is usual.

A Most Interesting Treat

One Of the most interesting treats of
the season was the appearance in the
dining room of the Fort Pierce hotel,
last Thursday evening, of the exhibit
tiun of child songs and folk dances, Civ
ell under the auspices of the Actor
Child League of New York city. and
the management of Miss Nella Whip
pie. The program consisted Of thirteen
excellent numbers, each being so well
received and heartily applauded that an
enchore was given. The actors, (belng
the children of touring actors ranged
in age from five to thirteen years, and
So delightfully."- natural was their per-
forrnnces that many remarked that

Of them again in the theatrical world in

THE Lafayette county Democratic
executive committee assembled at Mayo
last Saturday, and adopted a resolution
authorizing the names of the candidates
for circuit Judge and State attorney
to be placed on the primary ballot, not
with standing the action Of the State
committee, directing that these names
be left of the ballot. Thus far, only
three county committees have met and
all have directed that the State COM
mittees instruction in this regard be
ignored. Evidently the Democracy of
Florida will not tamely submit to the
gag rule of politicians holding the
proxies of the peoples representatives.

TRYING TO SQUARE \ CIRCLE.

F1r IS amusing to read some of The editorials now
days In reply to letters from angry subscribers
Il who demand that their paper shall not be rcac-
tlonary or standpat in uo Republican procyitcs The
manner in which the editor squrms and tries to explain
is laughablc.
We have noted several such incidents in the columns
OF the esteemed Muskogcc PhocniN aud day ago
the Bartlcsvie Enterprise, attempting to sub
scrbcr that it s ana has been progressive furnishes
explanations:
The Enterprise has always claimed to be pro-
gressiyc; It is not nsurgcnt The difference be-
tween the two elements In the Republican party
Is that the Insurgents believe in getting what they
want in the Republican party and It they fail
there to ally themselves with the Democrats in
getting vlut they want This plan only
suit eventually in breaking up the Republican
party The progressive Republicans, such as
Colonel Roosevelt contend that the Republican
party Is big enough to handle the problems Of
the country and that those who bclong to the or
gani2atiou should do their lighting IN the prim-
aries aud conventions and abide 10y the result
there
Isn't that delicious? Enterprise has been saunch
defender OF the old muchinc gang Kansas of Balngcr
Cannon and the old regime Congress; and 1t has last
precious few opportunities expressing It's opposition to-
accomplish Ditto the rhocnN Yet both seek to molor,
their progressive readers boy explaining that they pro
grcsslvcs" but not insurgents
But at that the, both dcuccdly good newspapers;
just a little out of wnc with their tmc-thors all.
