The Fresno Republican in the
above editorial shows that its edi
tor is alive to the fact that there is
a Sentim ent crystallZing rapidly in
this country that threatens the reign
of that peculiar brand of conservatism
that panders to the interests of a
class of privilege. The Fresno Re-
publican urges that whenever there
is a srious attempt to elect a So
cialist mayor. the various good gov
eminent forces should unite to Ito
put up a strong man and unite on
him."
Such an appeal. from the editorial
page. is some what significant. What
does the Fresno Republican mean
by good government forces?
Does it NOT mean all the forces
that arc opposed to Socialism?
Does it not mean that forces that
can be united against Socialism shall
bear the label of good government
forces?
Good government forces mean
the consolidation of tho DEM cratic
and Republican parties in every com
munity. where a serious attempt is
made 10 elect a Socialist mayor.

FUGITIVE BANDIT
IS STILL ATLARGE
Wonderful Endurance Shown by
Slayer Who Has Been Four Days
and Nights In the Saddle.

Idaho Falls, June 21.-The endur-
ance Of Hugh Whitney, the fugitive
bandit is a matter of wonder to the
posse. With their later start many
have almost succumbed to the rigors
Of the trail while their quarry, with
little sleep possible, and scant re-
freshment, is keeping to the saddle,
after four days of almost continuous
riding.
Still the pace is telling. His steps
were uncertain as he approached the
door of Pelot's ranch house yesterday
morning to secure food and his ner-
vousness was self-evident. Although
he loaned his rifle to one of Pelot's
boys to try shot at an eagle, he kept
his hand on the butt of his revolver
and turned uneasily when any one got
behind him.
The breakfast at Pelot's as nearly
as the officers can Judge, was the
second meal Whitney has had in the
four days of his fight. Rain has been
OF considerable help to him.

New York Senator Says
Taft Did Not Exceed Pow

Of Change in Sentiment.

Washington, D. G., June 21.-Sen.
ator Elihu Root, formally opened the
Canadian reciprocity debate in the
senate today. He announced that he
favored the agreement and defended
President Taft's course in negotiating
1t, declaring that in no way had he
also spoke in favor of his amendment
to the wood pulp and paper provision
of the bill, to which President Taft is
opposed on the ground that 1t might
jeopardize the entire agreement.
He insisted that the president had
followed the practice ordinarily fol-
lowed bye the diplomatic and execu-
tive officers Of the government in CIV
ing assurance to other governments
that certain things would or would not
be done.
Farmers Unduly Apprehensive.
II think the farmers of the country
are unduly apprehensive," he said. Il
believe this reciprocity agreement will
be for the best and the permanent in
terest of the country, and must be
for It,"
Senator Root said no one could be
blind to the change of sentiment in
the country on the tariff question. The
Canadian agreement, he said, negoti-
ated In republican administration
and backed by general popular sup
port, was great evidence of this
change.
Senator Bailey asked why the tar

House Takes up Direct Vote Bill.
With debate limited to three hours

reached late today.
House Passes Wool Bit.
The house, by vote Of 221 to 100,
passed the Underwood wool tariff re-
vision bill providing for a reduction
Of the duty on wool and manufactures
Of wool. Twenty four republicans
voted with the democrats for the pas
sage Of the measure, and one demo
crat, Representative Francis, Of Ohio,
voted against it.
Representatives Woods and Haugen
were the only republican members OF
the delegation from Iowa to vote for
the wool bill on the Anal passage.
representative Hubbard was absent,
though known to be favorable to the
bill.
The wool bill, passed by the house
asst night, will go Immediately to the
senate, but it has at no time been
thought that the measure has any
chance Of passing there at this session.
The regular republican senators take
he ground that congress should await

BRIDGES GIRL
TESTIF|ES IN
BEHALF OF SEE
Her Testimony in Defense Of
Absolute Life Apostle
Charged With Abduction !;
Father Attacks See.

Chicago, June 21.-Mildred Bridges,
for whose alleged abduction Evelyn
Arthur See, founder Of the absolute
lit cult, Is being tried, again took the
stand when the trial was resumed to-
day. In answer to questions, she de-
clared that See and Mona Reese spent
many OF their evenings in the See
home, reading and playing games, for
getting for the while the study Of abb
solute life. s.
She declared she believed See re.
ceived divine inspiration for his writ
ings. Miss Bridges gave testimony re-
garded as shielding See. She testified
that she was not abducted by See, that
she was taken to Sees temple" by
her parents, and that See never gave
her personal talks regarding the mys-
teries OF absolute life" until she went
to his home to live.
In reply to questions regarding her
personal relations with See, Miss
Bridges gave evasive answers. She
did not finish her testimony today. She
will be on the witness stand tomorrow
and possibly Thursday.
Manuscripts of the two books writ.
ten by See, containing the history OF
the cult, were read in court as evi.
dence. In one Of the books, See pre-
tended to be divine agent" for the
purpose of purifying the world and
creating new race of men and
women, all to be physically and spirit
ually perfect.
Girls Father Attacks See.
During recess in the trial Stephen
H. Bridges, father of Mildred Bridges,
attacked See in the corridors. For
the first time since Sees arrest.
Bridges met him in the open. With
curse, Bridges leaped at the apostle
of absolute life and struck him. Be-.
fore See could defend himself, court
attaches separated the men.
Mildred Bridges, continuing her tes.
timcny, said she had contributed to
Sees book, saying II wrote some
truths as I saw them" Her inspira.
tions, she said. were derived from
Sees manuscript.
