for ourselves agree, that che Cover
nor of each cotton State proceed at
once to appoint q representative IN
each county, who in turn will ap-
point a representative in each school

from every farmer a binding, writ

acreage in 1911.
without discussing the merits OF
pending proposals for monetary re-

for emergency currency based upon
commercial paper, underwritten by
banks or associations of banks, pro-

1T is our firm opinion, that by

selves from impending sacrifice and
can restore the fair price which de-

can insure stable values from year

said:

will and should defeat Mr.. Taft" for
reelection. The Beverly letter con-
fess that President Taft attempted to
use Federal patronage to reward
members of Congress who voted as he
desired on legislation and to with
hold patronage from some members
of Congress who voted contrary to
his views and in accordance with
their own convictions.
Thus was established a precedent
of rewards and premiums for sub
serYience and mental dishonesty and
punishment for independent thought
and honest action. WITH such an ex-
ample emanating by confession from
the office of the nations Chief Execu-
tive is the wholesale bartering of
votes in Adams County, O., and Dan
vile, Ill.,, and many legislative bodies
to be wondered at?

sage demonstrates to my mind that
he lacks faith in the intelligence and
independence Of the American peo-
pie. A man afraid to trust the peo-
pie will not be and should not be
trusted by the people. To use one of
his own favorite expressions, Presi-
dent Taft vas disingerious in his
Peoria speech when attempting to ex-
plain his position to the people and
TO defire his attitude toward the Ar
izona Constitution.
HE claimed to have confidence in
the sober second thought of the
American people, yet he vetoted the
Statehood restitution which proposed
to submit to the people of Arizona
the second time the question whether
their constitutional provision for the
recall should apply to Judges as well
as other officers. Here was plain
proposal to submit to tie sober Sec
ond thought of the people, but the
President was not willing and insist
ed that the recall Of JUDGES must be
eliminated even though by the terms
of the resolution the Arizona elector-
ate would have had a second oppor-
tunity for the most mature considera-
tion of the subject"

CRISIS in PARTY
TAFT ADMITS REPUBLICANS MAY
BE DEFEATED.
Confession of Weakness Of His Fol-
lowing Surprises Large Audience
at Hamilton Club.

President Taft surprised a large
audience at the dinner of the Hamil-
ton club at Chicago on Monday by
what most of his hearers construed
as an admission Of the possibility
of Republican defeat In the coming
national election. He was speaking
to what had promised to be an un-
usually enthusiastic audience Of Re-
publicans.
Those present hastened to ascribe
the presidents utterances to weari-
ness after his long tour Of speech
making, and especially after the hard
three-day campaign" in Chicago. 1t
was his last public utterance il Chic
ago before leaving for Pittsburg
Monday night.
Now we are at, some people
think, the crisis in the Republican
party with reference to its contin-
uance in the guidance of the ma
tion," the president said. 81 am
hopeful that the good people of the
country who know a good thing when
they see it have only chastened us in
order that we may do better here
after, but with no intention Of Shift
ing from shoulders that are better
fitted to bear the burdens of the
present problems and carry them to
a successful solution to those which
are untried and which have new
theories Of action that we do not be-
live in, and that we do not believe
the people believe in. However, If so
be it that they desire to make a
change, we shall loyalty support the
new government under any condf-
lions, with the hope it will insure to
the benefit Of the country, but with
the consolation that, after one trial
the people think they ought to go
back to the old party that has served
them SO well in the progress Of the
nation, they will do so. We can do
so. We can bear that load-that is
ALL"
The address before the Hamilton
club, in which the possibility of de-
feat found expression, followed the
laying of the cornerstone Of the new
home of the Hamilton, club, one Of
leading Republican clubs of the Mid
die West. The cornerstone cere-
mony followed a trip through the
stock yards, and visit to the Ma
tional Dairy show. The remainder
of the presidents day was spent at
his hotel in receiving politicians and
friends.

The Chinese Are Promised Complete
Constitutional Rule and Thorough
Reform in all Departments.

A dispatch from Peking. China
says the demand of the national as.
sembly for a complete constitution
al government has been accepted to
by the throne. An imperial edict was
issued Monday apologizing for the
past neglect of the throne and grant
ing an immediate constitution with
a cabinet from which mobiles shall be
excluded. A second edict grants par

with the revolution of 1898 and sub
seQuent revolutions and to those com.
PEELED to join in the present rebel
lion. The imperial edict, which Is
from the hand of the emperor, Hsuan
Tung, says:
II have reigned three years and
have always acted conscientiously In
the interest of the people. But l have
not employed men properly, as I am
without political skill. I have en-
ployed too many mobiles in political
positions which contravenes consti-
tutionalism.
ION railway matters one whom
trusted deceived me. Hence public
opinion was antagonized. When l
urge reform, officials and the gentry
seize the opportunity to embezzle.
Much of the peoples money has been
taken, but nothing to benefit the peo-
pie has been accomplished.
"On several occasions edicts have
promulgated laws, but none of them
has been obeyed. The people are
grumbling why I do not know. Dis
aster looms ahead, but 1 do not see. "
After referring to uprising in va
rious places the edict continues:
The whole empire is seething. The
spirits Of our nine deceased emper-
ors are unable to enjoy the sacrifices
properly, while it is feared that the
people will suffer previously.
"All these things are my own
fault, and hereby announce to the
IudL oWCdl W lClOl Ill oil u
with our soldiers and people to car
ry out the constitution faithfully
modifying legislation, promoting the
interests of the people and abolish
ing their hardships, all in accordance
with their wishes and their interest.
"The old laws that are unsuitable
will be abolished. The union Of the
Manchus and Chinese mentioned by
the late emperor shall carry out
now. Even If we unite I still fear
that we may fall. If the emperor do
rot regard and do not honor fate and
the people be easily rnisled by out
laws then the future of China is un-
thinkable. 1 am most anxious day
