Cummins Criticises Taft;
Ind0rSeS La Toilette for 1912

DES MCHNES, August Ex-senator A. B.
Cummins. in an interview yesterday. came
out for Senator La Toilette for President
was emphatic in his expression of dis
approval of President Taft and of his
candidacy for the republican nomination
Taft, he said 'is out Of harmony
with the political views of the rank and
file of the republican party. Tie whole
party, / believe. is strongly in favor of
going on and trying to find some solu-
tion for the questions with which the
country is now confronted. Without dis
paraging Taft. / 40 not believe that he
takes the progressive view.
Personally, l am opposed to President
Taft If / had my way he would not be
the choice of tie republican national con-
vention. and if 1t were possible for me to
prevent 1T I do not hesitate to say that
/ would do so.
la Toilette" he said, Stands for leg
islation which is perfectly safe and sane.
notwithstanding the efforts that have
been made by his enemies to discredit
him as unsafe. His judgment on great
questions is reliable. and the accusations
of being erratic and an unsafe radical
are made without any foundation what
soever. His views are sound. and the
intense earnestness with which he fights
for cause espOused is the only thing
that leads many to the erroneous belief
that he is unsafe.
The recent special session OF Congress,
Senator Cumnlins said left President
Taft with little gained or lost from the
standpoint of political strength. The
newspaper support accorded the President
was of material aid. but he declared that
in the end reciprocity would lose more
votes for the republican party than 1t
would gain.

RIOTERS ARE OPPOSED
TO CHECK ON CHOLERA

NAPLES. August "a dispatch from
Cosenza, the capital of Calabria, reports
serious condition of affairs at Verbi-
caro-, in the northern part of that prov
ince. The ignorant Inhabitants of the
town have become furious against the
sanitary work of the physicians and
Red Cross nurses in trying to prevent
the spread of cholera and have started
rioting.
The people have become obsessed with
the idea that the sanitary measures are
intended to spread disease. The rioters
have already cut the telegraph and tele-
phone wires. burned the city hall and
killed two members of the Red Cross So
ciety.
The mob is in complete possession of
the town and has erected barricades
wherefrom it will try to repulse any
attacks. Troops and doctors are on their
way to Verbicaro.
The rioters killed Mayor Guaragna and
all the members of his household. as
well as several other officials. They
burned, in addition to the city hall, the
prefecture. the praetorial court, the tele-
graph Office and the mayors house.

U. S. ACQUIRES ISLANDS
Located in Pacific Ocean at
Mouth of the Panama
Canal.

COLON, August 29-The islands of
Naos, Flamenco, Culebra and Perico. In
the Pacific ocean. near the western end
Of the Panama canal, have been acquired
by the United States government. The
deal was handled by the Isthmian canal
commission. and the negotiations have
extended over a period Of several years.
The United States virtually owned half
Of the islands already, as a half interest
was the property of the Panama rail-
road, all the stock Of which is owned by
the United States government. The other
half was purchased by the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company which formerly
using tugs and lighters to transfer pas
sengers and freight to Bilboa, which has
been accessible to ocean-going vessels for
only five years.
The purchase was made for the purpose
Of using the islands by a series Of con-
Meeting embankments. to form a great
breakwater for the Pacific end of the big
ditch" The embankment from the main
land to Naos. begun three years ago. is
nearly ready. But for the embankments.
it is asserted. the canal outlet would be
menaced with great danger in case of
storms, due to the heavy currents off
shore. Canal engineers assert that these
currents would have had the further
drawback or ming IN the canal mouth
with the sediment they carry in large
quantities.
1t is expected that the islands will serve
an additional purpose, as the site for
forts to protect the canal, but nothing has
been given out upon this point.
1t is believed here that the acquisition
by the United States government of the
islands of NaOs, Flamenco, Culebra and
Perico has been made by an exchange of

Company. the latter becoming the owner
of certain properties on the mainland.

Notwithstanding. the President signed
the Payne-Aldrich Smoot bill and ve-
toed ours.
Taft Forgot the Square Deal.
I'm this connection 1t should not be
forgotten that when Mr.. Underwood
reported the wool bill every line. para
graph and section was thrown open to
debate and amendment and that de-
bate continued until the members dis
cussed 1t all they wanted to- Instead
Of being slapped together hastily with
out due considera tion, 1t was one Of
the most thoroughly and carefully
considered tariff bills ever presented
to any President for his signature.
I'm view of the foregoing facts, it
surely must be that the President, in
his zeal to reform the broken lines of
the standpatters, forgot that all men
were entitled to square deal when
he uttered this monstrOus and prepos-
ferrous sentence:
1.-The bills bear internal evidence
of the fact that they rested on a basis
of not tariff for revenue only. but
tariff for politics only
Really, / do not see how he could
find it in his heart to utter the fore
going words. for which there is no
basis of fact in the universe.
Never in the history of the govern
ment, ] venture to say, have important
public interests been dealt with in such
light-hearted way. with such absolute
ignorance Of the effect OF legislation and
with such willingness to sacrifice busi-
ness interests to political exigencies.'
Reckless and Unfair Statement.
That is as reckless and unfair a
statement as has been put into print since
Gutenberg invented movable type. and
is personal reflection on the sense,
honesty, integrity. bona fdes and patriot
ism of every mans democrat or republican,
who voted for these bills. AS such l
resent them. not for myself alone, but
for all who voted as I did
That was a queer and suggestive pic
ture for democrats and tariff reform re-
publicans to contemplate; the President

friend. Mr.. augustus Peabody Gardner.
flanked on one side by Brother Gardner
himself and on the other by Gardner's

That was enough to make
the angels weep.
THE President rushed in to create an
issue. We pick up the glove flung into
our faces and the faces Of the consumers
Of the land. We gladly accept his gage
Of battle. We confidently believe that
the people will indorse our cause and
give to us the victory. for we have right
and truth and justice on our side.''

Wool Bill Carefully Framed.

The President himself is a man of
large general information, as we'll as a
man of great ability. but certainly he is
not enough of tariff expert to justify
him in vetoing tariff bills which passed
the House by majorities of more than
two to one. 1t is not a fiippant or un-
friendly statement to say that he pos
sessed only the surface informa ton on
the tariff, as Gov. Dingley denominated
IL, which is possessed by every citizen
well informed in a genera. way
The President implies that ne refused
10 sign the wool bill because il was in
troduced and rushed through without due
democratic members-elect to the Sixty
second Congress met January 10 and
selected the democratic members of the
committee on ways and means, making
Mr.. Underwood chairman.
They personally and with their helpers
at once began to assemble information on
the wool schedule. The bill was reported
to the House about the middle of April,
a period of three months on the prspara-
tion of one schedule out of fourteen.
Whereas the hearing on the Payne bill
with fourteen schedules. began November
IL, and the bill was reported to the House
March IL, a period of little over four
monthes devoted to fourteen schedules.
ANY tyro in arithmetic knows that
as we devoted three months to one
schedule and the trainers of the Payne
bill devoted. on the average, only two
severths OF one month to each schedule.
we devoted ten and half times as
mitch time to a schedule as did Brither
Payne and his republican coadjutors
