LODGES BULLS EYE SHOTS
M Massachusetts Senator States Some
Truths In Few Words.

When Senator Lodge OF Massachu-
sets opened the Taft campaign in
Ohio recently he uttered some truths
in few words. Here are a few OF the
sentences which ought to be read and
remembered:
Il believe most profoundly that now.
as In the past, the success Of the Re
publican party is for the best inter
ests Of the people Of the United
States"
The Democratic house presented
the WOODEN schedule in a form which
would put an end to the wooden manu-
faotures of the United States and
would slaughter the product of the
American sheep raiser"
IF you desire to strike down the
sheep and wooden Industries of the
United states. give the Democrats full
power. and you will have it done; II
you do not. the only way TO preserve
them is to elect a Republican congress
and a Republican president"
If the proposed constitutional
changes should be carried into eff
feet they would completely revolution
ize our system and theory of govern
ment, as we have known It since the
beginning of history
All the progress that has been
made In this country In 30 years has
been by the Republican party"
The Republican party has always
been the party OF sane and rational
progress under the Constitution"
The Republican party stands for lib
Hxr
against confusion: for loyalty to the
great principles OF Justice and freedom
which have been handed down to US
from the days of Washington; In one
word, It stands for the constitution
which Marshall interpreted and which
Lincoln saved"

DODGED TARIFF REVISION
Roosevelt, When President, Failed to
Take Any Action.

Once in his life Mr.. Roosevelt al
most expressed an opinion on the
tariff question. In preliminary draft
of one of his messages to congress
as il came from the printer was this
sentence: In later message | shall
discuss the tariff" On revising the
proof sheets of his message Mr. Roose-
welt blue-penciled that line. And he
never came even that near to dis

as he remained in the White House

DESERTS PROF. WILSON.
Why q Democratic Editor Declares for
President Taft.

J. Holman Buck, the Democratic
editor Of the Western Nevada Miner
at Nina. in voicing his allegiance to
the Taft administration, is not sparing
in his criticisms of the actions and
policies of Governor Woodrow Will
son. the Democratic nominee. or of
Roosevelt. Buck is a Democrat of the
old school and readily sees the error
of his ways in supporting the Demo
cratic nominee for the presidency. In
speaking of Wilson he has the fol-
lowing to say:

In Georgia the wetness of the ground

THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL.

Since congress made an apprporia-
tin of 100000 for a monument to
Abraham Lincoln some controversy
has arisen as to the form the memo
rial should assume. So far two prop
ositions have been made One is that
an adequate monument should be
erected on the site already selected
in the city of Washington, so that
100000 could be spent on a worthy
memorial edifice. The other propo-
sition is to spend the money on a road
from Washington to Gettysburg to be
hnown as the Lincoln Memorial rail-
way, buti.the consensus is that the
idea of an automobile speedway as a
monument is most inappropriate.
With this view most of us will agree
for a public road is not worth much
as a personal monument, because the
only suggestion Of he monument lies
in the name, whereas a splendid me-
mortal edifice becomes a place the
sight of which will arouse. patriotic
sentiment. 1t will serve as the Wis
IDLE sign CT the estimate which has
countrymen cherish of the memor.
and the services OF the man whom
they delight TO honor.
The site chosen for the monument
Is on the bank of the Potomac. be-
tween the Capitol and the ancient
home of the Lees of Virginia, where
the shaft of the Washington monu-
ment is in plain sight. The most
favored design is one for an imposing
white marble temple of classic lines.

A MOST APPALLING CONSPIRACY

The proceeding Of the federal gov
eminent against the dynamiters who,
in the pretended interest of organized
labor, have destroyed property in al
most every part of the United States
during a number of years, has reached
the point of arrest of large number
of men believed to have been con-
cerned in the operations. These men
are mostly officials of labor unions,
and they are said to have had guilty
knowledge of the activities of the Nc
,Namaras and other field agents" who
actually did the work. If the accu-
sations are proved there will be made
up a record OF gigantic conspiracy
on The part of false leaders of organ
lied labor, which will give shock to
the country and which should startle
the great body of laboring men in the
United States to realization of the
plight into which their cause has been
brolght by reason of its having been
committed to the hands of violent and
lawless individuals. 1t will not do to
visit the blame for this terrible state
upon organized labor as a whole, and
the laboring men themselves can be
depended upon to square the account
and to institute the reforms in their
organizations that the exposition will
make imperatively necessary under
this revelation.
Had 1t not been for the conclusive
evidence of the Mcnamara case, in
which guilt was acknowledged and
could have been proved, there would
be very general scepticism of the
truth of these charges that have been
laid of widespread conspiracy to
destroy property by dynamite, under
the direction of an organized body.
