the president is using his personal, IL
not his official. influence against Mr..
Lorimer, Mr.. Paynter said he desired
10 resent the imputation against the
president.
Il have had" he said, IAN exalted
opinion of the presidents character
and have believed that he has chosen
wisely in many OF his selections for
judicial positions He has been a
Judge and knows the rights and llber-
ties Of the people are only safe with
an honest and independent judiciary
THE president is a great lawyer and
knows that the constitution divided
our government into branches and
that 1t was intended that one branch
should not invade the province of an
other. The president knows that the
senate is made the judge of the cleo
ton Of its members: therefore, the
constitution denies to the executive
and judicial branches of the govern
ment the right to determine who is en-
titled to seat I'm this body Certainly
the president would not attempt to VIC
late the spirit. If not the letter. of the
constitution which he has promised
10 obey. Surely he does not want to
do that"
Declaring that such a course on the
part of the president would be "cal-
amitous and humiliating." MIR. Payn-
ter said the president could as well
advise the Supreme court as to the
tenor of its decisions in the Standard
Oil and tobacco trust cases as to un.

or against Mr. Lorimer
Referring TO Senator Beveridge and
the minority report he presented, at

Paynter remarked;
IF he committed an error In the
preparation of the minority report, /
think he is entirely excusable. The
senator evidently had to prepare 1t In
great haste because he and another
distinguished senator. Mr. Owen from
Oklahoma, were in mad rush i'm a
frantic effort to strike the first blow
in this contest"
Mr.. Paynter defended the character
lof Senator Lorimer. who he said was
"a man of perfect morals" and also
spoke in terms of praise of Speaker
Shurtleff of the Illinois house of rep
resentatives and State Senator Lee
O'Neil Browne. the Democratic leader
who gave their support TO Lorimer.

and others Is as follows
I'VE, the undersigned, associate our
selves together as the National Pro
gressive Republican league.
THE object of the league is the pro

progressive legislation.
Popular government in America has
been thwarted and progressive legis-
lation strangled by the special inter
9sts, which control caucuses delegates,
conventions and party organizations,
and, through control of the machinery
Of government. dictate nominations
and platforms. elect administrations

eminent has in certain states super.
seeded the delegate convention system
and the people have assumed control
Of the machinery of government has

popular will and progressive legts-
latlon been secured
The Progressive Republican league
believes that popular government is
fundamental to all other questions. To
this end it advocates:
The election Of United States sen.
ators by direct vote of the people.
Direct primaries for the nomination
Of all elective officials.
The direct election of delegates to
national conventions. with opportunity
for the voter to express dis choice for
president and vice-president.
Amendment to state constitutions
providing for the initiative and refer
endum and recall.
"A thorough general corrupt prac
tice act
The league will cooperate with
progressiyes in the several states, and
wherever acceptable will render as
sistance In promoting the organization
Of state leagues.

TAFT IS BROUGHT
IN LOR|MER CASE
2aynter Hints at Effort to Boil
Ster Administration.
INVASION OF SENATE RIGHTS
kentucklan Describes Senator Lori
ner as "Man Of Perfect Morals"
and Gives Praise to Lee
O'Neil Browne.

Washington-Th first mention OF
the reported interest taken by
President Taft in the case of Sena-
tor Lorimer was brought into the de-
bate by Senator Paynter of Kentucky,
who was a member of the subcommit-
tee which investigated the charges Of
bribery in connection with Mr.. Lori
mer's election.
Before taking up testimony in the
case Mr.. Paynter took occasion to say
that he did not appear as "the apoli-
gist of bride givers or bribe takers.
Declaring the question to be a judi
eial one. Mr. Paynter said:
Il did not approach the investiga-
ton with any feeling or thought that
the country demanded a victim to ap-
pease its wrath, or that any member
Of this body, if such demand was
made, would subsequently yield to 1t;
neither did | suppose that sacrifical
Offering would be made of the accused
senator to satisfy a popular demand.
nor did | suppose 1t was necessary to
do so TO give character and standing
to the administration.
Having brought the asident into
the discussion, the Kentucky senator
professedly undertook to eliminate
him from it. Referring to the fire.

HEREDITARY PAUPERIsM.

A very careful investigation has
been recently made in England with
q view to determining by scientific In
quiry how far pauperism might be
dealt with as a transmissible and
hereditary evil. The investigation
goes to show that pauperism tends to
recar IN successive generations of the
same family. says the Philadelphia
Record It is propasated in large de-
gree By free unions among unmarried
persons OF moral feebleness and con-
sequeDt iliegitimacy, as shown by
backward examination of pedigree.
Paupers appear to prefer pauper al
Ifances- The resulting inbreeding
tends TO The perpetuation Of degen.
crates Much, of course. may be due
To environment as a consequence OF
herding paupers together in poor
houses or warehouses provided at the
public expense, but If heredity be
dominating factor in producing and
reproducing through succeeding gen
erations a definite pauper stock, with
a native incapacity to live in any
other way except as social parasites.
the laws should be shaped so far as
possible to bring about a means of
prevention There should be sex sep
aration In so far as such a rule could
be enforced by state authority We
take great pains to secure the propa-
ganda OF healthy and superior breeds
of domestic animals. There seems to
be no sound reason for a failure to
protect ourselves as far as we may
against the deterioration of the hu.
man stock.

TAFT PROHIBITS
FIGHT BIZ HAITI
San Domingo is Protected by PresE
dents Action-Peremptory
Order Issued.

Washington.-That there must be
no war between Haiti and San Domin-
90 was the peremptory order issued
by President Taft to the American
minister at San Domingo.
This is the first time that such an
order has ever gone forth from the
White House The order is made pos
sible by the fact that the United
States, by guaranteeing San Domin-
COS debt to European nations, made
of that republic a protectorate @
this government and, consequently
gave the United States the power to
tell Haiti that she cannot interfere
with American political institutions
in San Domingo.
San Domingo and Haiti have been
quarreling for over a year about a
frontier line. San Domingo claimed
the right to extend one of her roads
across the traditional border and this
brought up the old question of the
frontier. Both nations armed for the
conflict and sent troops to the scene
of trouble.
ices. There were some perfunctory
acknowledgements of the favor but
the armies remained In camp.
The following is close paraphrase
OF the telegram sent by order of the
president to Minister Russell at San
Domingo:
THAT as there appears to be in
reality no essential difference be-
tween the proposal of the Dominican
and Haitian government to reach an
amicable adjustment of their present
boundary dispute, this government
cannot believe that the minor points
regarding the maintenance of the
status quo and the cessation of the
work on the road pending the settle
ment can be regarded as sufficiently
important to warrant any delay what
ever in the drawing up of suitable
articles for the submission of the
matter to arbitration and can far less
be regarded as of sufficient import
ance to warrant any further talk by
either party of resort to arms.
The American government there
fore feels that the two governments
should at once unite in framing a
compromise providing for the early
adjustment Of this question. Mean
while the status quo should be main
tanned. troops should be withdrawn
from the border and work upon the
road should cease until the final set
Element of the question"
Secretary Knox calls attention to
the special interest of this govern
ment in the Dominican government
and its obligations. under the couven-
ton of 1907 and also to the peculiar
interest taken in the welfare of both
the Dominican republic and the re-
public of Haiti saying that this gov
eminent will be glad to exercise it's
friendly good offices to facilitate such
an arrangement.

Following his election Senator La
Toilette appeared before the joint
session and delivered short speech
