JUST WHEN THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY BECAME CORRUPT.

At this time, just prior to election
day 1T is wise to bring to the mind
of the voter few facts regarding
the republican party, and the man
ner in which it is and has been in
the past viewed by Theodore Roose-
Welt, otherwise known as the bull
moose candidate for president.
Theodore Roosevelt has been
Identified with the republican party
Tor many years, and the republican
PARTY was good enough for him back
in 1882. when he wanted to go to
the assembly, although at the cleo
ton that fall the people of his dis
trict repudiated him by a majority
of close to 100000.
The republican party was good
enough for Theodore Roosevelt in,
1886 when he accepted nomination
for mayor from the corporations and
bosses to defeat Henry George,
whose name will go down in history
as the friend of the common people.
The republican party was good
enough for Theodore Roosevelt in
1889 when he wanted to be civil
service commissioner, although the
chairman Of it's national committee
at that time was none other than
Matthew Stanley Quay.
The republican party was good
enough for Theodore Roosevelt in
1897 when he wanted to be assistant
secretary of the navy, and obtained
that position through the favor of
Mark Hanna, Thomas Plat and Matt
Quay.
The republican party was good
enough for THEODORE Roosevelt in
1898, when he wanted to be COVER
nor of New York and was willing to
subserviate his principle to the saw
ing of Platt's corrupt machine in
return for the nomination:
The republican party was good
enough for Theodore Roosevelt in
1904, when the "bosses" interposed
no objection to his nomination for
the presidency on the republican
ticket.
The republican party was good
enough for Theodore Roosevelt in
1908, when it meekly permitted him
to offer William Howard Taft as a
proxy for the presidency.
The republican party was good
enough for Theodore Roosevelt up
to the time of the national conven-
ton in 1912, and If it had nominated
him at that convention it would still
have been good enough for Theodore
Roosevelt
1t was at this stage in it's history
that the republican party became
corrupt, although had the republican
party at that time bestowed upon
Theodore Roosevelt the nomination
he sought it would have continued
as the party of the people in his
eyes, and he would have welcomed
with open arms every interest which
is now supporting Taft and the re-
publican party, without question as
to how those interests may have &C.
quired their wealth but with an
open eye as to how much they were
donating to elect ME"
Theodore Roosevelt is the most
egotistical demagogue in the history
of the world, and the voters of the
United States will find less danger
to the perpetuity of the republic un-
der democratic regime, even, than
In making the error of choosing to
place him at the head Of national
affairs.

TACOMA, Wash, March "a
plan to help foreigners coming to the

states and prominent labor men, held
here recently.

10 the merits of the pipe is concerned.
The public can judge for itself.
You ask me what consider ii
proper formula for the metal, and
will answer that as follows: SilicUl.,
not 10 exceed 2 per cent; phosphorus,
not 10 exceed, 3 per cent; manganese,
from q 70 s per cent: combined car
bon, a per cent; graphite carbon, 20
per cent.
In the metal We analysed for The
Times we found one-half OF one pei
cent above the right proportion OF
phosphorus and rs per cent above the
right proportion of silicon. The pres
ence of so much phosphorus and 5;l!
con makes the pipe very brittle, espe
cially al low temperature. Such pIp1
might stand certain strain in sum
mer time and give way quickly vllen
the ground was frozen.
The cheaper grade OF pipe has the
higher percentage Of phosphorus ans
silicon. The iron from the south Is
less expensive than the northern iron
and il is characteristic of the south
ern iron that II has too much phos
phorus and silicon"
The Detroit water board does not
have an analyst in its employ IL
make a minute examination or the
pipe as purchased. The pipe is some
times analysed and tested, but there
is no regular method TO this.

breakage OF the water mains is no
longer regarded as a mystery by en-.

readily to the force OF expansion when
the earth surrounding 1t became
frozen and subjected t. to an un-
usual and irregular strain.

to The Times, Tuesday morning, when
asked what he planned to do in re-
gard to the complaints of Highland
Park residents, as pointed out In The
Times, Monday. against the selling
OF liquor by G.. ID. Ardussi, whose
saloon is at the SiA-mile road and
Woodward-ave., just outside the

why, we'll find a way TO stop him.
I'll stop him IL | have to place a msn

- IL Is difficult for tbs To get evidence
against Ardussi, because we cannot
always be around just when the law
may be violated. II is possible, how
ever. for any citizen, under the War
ner-Cramton law, to make a con-
plant against saloonkeeper for
selling liquor on Sunday, or at any
other time during prohibited hours,
and II some one would only take adj
vantage of that privilege, we would
then be able TO prosecute Ardussi.
