Greater than Luther is the splendid
manliness, the human strength in the
m idst OF human weakness which
forces men to repeat: "Hier stehe ich.
Ich kann NIGHT anders." 1t IS the
same IN all langua ges and in the
mouths Of all men who decide TO live
and die with their true convictions;
Here l stand, l can not do otherwise
Ii is as true on the street and in the
office and in the home today as 1t was
400 wears ago when Luther stood be-
fore an emperor and hierarchy. 1t is
as great in the mouths of the humble
man VINO keeps the courage OF his
convictions today as it was on the lips
Of Luther before the diet and the
king Time and place and years do
not affect its grandeur. Peasant or
prince or prela,e or priest, obscurity
or renoWn are not its essential ele-
meats The greatest man in the world
today or Yesterday and the greatest Of
tomorrow is he who shall believe and
say Here l stand. I can not do other
wise"
To know as we'll as he may, 20 think
as deeply as ne can. 10 conclude sin
cere,y. to stand on his suresr conclus-
ion is the t-uest measure Of d man.

The masses of the republican party
are the party. The party has no head
that any member is bound TO follow.
This Is fact July established be-
yond peradventure. When an 3nnuen-
tial minority OF the party rebelled
a against accepting the rate bill as pre-
pared by Attorney General Wicker
sham and urged by President Taft, ex-
traortlinary efforts were made TO drive
that minority from the councils OF the
party. and It was even attempted to
coerce them into submission by with
holding the usual courtesies in the
way Of public patronage. This unus-
ual and unprecedented course did not
have inc desired effect Republicans
with red blood IN their veins refused
to surrender their conscience and they
finally succeeded in inducing the presi-
dent 20 recede from his untenao!e
position. by remaining firm for the
principles in which they believed. Now

may say, perniciously. opposing the

this fact fully and irrefutaoly estao-

II there is any one thing we nave

spectacle Of the eastern republican
versus the western republican, r. the
Canadian reciprocity scrap. While
they have seemed to be on different
sides Of the fence they have united in
their attempts 10 prove that protec-
ton for the farmer Is OF no value. IN
this they have been seconded by the
democrats. so that We now have the
spectacle Of all the leaders Of the TWO
great parties united on this one sub
jecr.
OF course the eastern republicans
and the western republicans have
neither of them said that protection
vas of no value to the farmer In
fact they have united in declaring as
vociferously as possible. that II Is OF
great value 20 the farmer. But all
this time their actions were labelling
their words as hot air
The eastern republicans say. for in
stance: The tariff ts q great thing for
the farm er-but free trade with Can
ada will not hurt the farmer a bat Tor
the farmer has always had to sell his
products in the market in com petition
with the world anyhow. And they

IS true

OF the country would 80 to smash Il
we are given free trade with Canada
but the fasteners will ind out when
they have cut off the tariff on farm
products that It will not reduce the
cost OF living to them, as they expect.
They will find that it will make no Diff
ference in the prices they pay.
Isn't this spectacle! Both OF them
are tearing their hair in their fear that
the farmer is to receive a jolt, and
then both of them are acknowledging,
aside, that free trade isn't going to cut
any figure to amount anything.
The real fact of the matter is that
the tariff has never done the farmer
any good 20 amount to anything. He
may receive some benent from the
tariff on butter. eggs, and some OF the
garden products. but on the main
crops he has never received any direct
benefit. His product has been sold on
the markets of the world. and always
will be sold on the markets of the
world until the time comes when the
United States can not produce enough
to supply the demand at home. He
may have received some little benefit
from closer markets, but for every dol
lar benefit he has received from the
tariff he has paid out five to the east
ern capitalists and mill men who have
written the tariff on their own pro-
ducts and seen to it that they could get
an immense profit thru competition
from foreign fields being prevented by
a tariff wall
But it Is refreshing to see these good
republicans admitting the facts. OF
course they do not admit them in
words but they do in acts, and ac-
tons are what count.

An application will be made to secure

such classification win be granted to
the new league. Wilmington would
probably be the bone of contention II

team in Paterson. IF the attempt Is

Will come over this afternoon from New
York.
In the semi-nnal Young Joe Cans
replaces Leo Baker, who is now in
Albany. Sailor Davis will be his OPP
ponent. Both are good men. evenly
matched, and their bout ought to be
pleasing to the fight fans.
In the pr~eliminaries. which will be
four In number, the following men will
meet: Young Wesley VS.. Battling
Jimmy, Banty Lewis VS.. Young Nc
Kenna, Dick Burge VS.. Young Kimball
and Young Mack VS.. Kid Beebe.
Preparations have been made to
handle a big crowd. as the card is even
ly balanced from the first preliminary
right up to the star bout. The Proctor
prelimlnaries are always as good as
the W big bouts. The club is gaining
new patrons every week, and most Of
them become regulars thereafter.

utes, Hackenschmidt gaining it by
slamming his fatigued opponent to the

Hackenschmidt picking up the local

night at the Olympic Club, as Their
was not enough money at hand to
make up a suitable purse.
The management gave tickets for the
next show free, after expressing re-
grets. 1t is their intention in the flu
ture to change the club night. so as
to better please the fans.
Those who travelled the long distance
to the club got many q chill. owing to
the heavy atmosphere. 1t was deemed
best to put on two prellminaries. free
of charge. Just before the second bout
concluded Jack Gilmartin made an
nouncement of the disappointment In
store.
The bouts.
Backed by Billy Leary and Bob Muir
ply, Bert Stevens, of Summit, went
against Kid Ross, of East Orange, In
the first bout, Ross being seconded by
Danny Savage. Stevens used a left
lab throughout, urged by his handlers,
while Ross danced around, hoping to
connect with a swing, and finally made
an impression by using a jab himself.
He also landed with a right swing.

Stanzo met in the second "go" and
some healthy wallops were exchanged.
Ferris was quick in landing and ran
Stanzo to cover In an effort to escape
his lawmakers and jabs.
