TAFT MEN ARE GETTING VOTES.

In startling contrast to the insurgent cam
paign of abuse and peevshness the campaign OF
the Taft republicans is progressing with the quiet
dignity OF "A really big movement Taft has held
the allegiance OF the real republicans of Califor
MIA from the first, for, matter how they may
differ ON local questions the California members
OF the party will always remain loyal to their
principals IN the presidential year. Taft support
ers are not calling names and welding knives.
They are proceeding Systematically to pile up the
majority for their candidate The first gun IN
the campaign in this state showed the alignment.
Republicans who had felt any anxiety over the
California branch Of the party were treasured
by the demonstrations that followed the first
call to arms.
The leaders of the republican party realized
Immediately that their work would be merely to
help swell the majority. California S twenty-Slx
delegates were easily for Taft the first show
ing In the meantime the opposition to the presi
dent has suffered from internal feuds The thin
ranks Of the insurgents have been torn with dis
sension and will be still further torn as their de-
structiye campaign advances With their two
leaders hating each other with bitter hate
and ready to take the stump against each other,
the nsurgent party of California will end where
it began in iaundiced hate and iealousies.
1t is campaign of sneers that has been waged
by Hiram johnson and his followers. Advocates
Of destructive policies they have sneered at the
constructive policies of President Taft; as tax
eaters ana J0D-nOluelS tnev nave SneeTeu at IHe
work which President Taft did toward securing
the Panama-Pacifc exposition. The epitome Of the
insurgent campaign is sneer. the weak man IS
method of expressing his hatred of the big man.
This is the admission of Intellectually. When a
sneer upon his face it means that he
feels the superiority of his antagonist and admits
to himself that he is beaten
Roosevelt has never pointed out honestly any
matter that showed Taft to be anything but the
able and constructive man that he announced him
to be when he held Taft up before the American
people as the only logical candidate to succeed
him at the end of his second term This is be
cause Roosevelt knows in his heart that Taft is
all that he held him up to be; consequently he
has adopted the sneerng attitude the offensive
method of weak men and men who know that they
are in the wrong johnson and his followers have
adopted the same weapon. 1t is the only one left
TO them
Meanwhile the Taft republicans proceeding
in dignifed manner. They have a list of sub
stantal achievements to set before the people

appear all the more ineffectua-S f. Post

WILL CHINA MAKE GOOD?

1t to be expected that the sudden tran
sitiOn in China would furnish suggestion for the
gloomy predictions to the inability of her
people to meet successfully the new RESPONSE
bllltles they have recently assumed China
has been little known among civilized nations
and considerably less understood She has pos
sessed a civilization of her own, the intellectual
elements of which the Western mind may easily
have moderated Her people have been Judged
by standards common to other nations and so
judged they have failed to receive credit for
eeeents of mind and of character which closer
students of Chinese life believe are to produce
some surprises for the near future
Every person at all sympathetic with the new
movement in China hopes that by agreement
Ct the powers her territorial integrity shall be
fully guarded and that her people viii thereby
re afforded fair opportunity to work out their
social and governmental problem unembarrassed
BY complication forced upon them from the out
side at most critical time.

with being an essentially llterate people Those
who know. assert that this estimate Of them is
entirely unwarranted.

CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS.

a local humorist is credited with having
coined the declaration eye cannot serve God and
Tammany' True that assertion is, it is like
firing one more shot into a riddled hulk 1t has
long been the weakness Of certain moralists to
confne their criticism to evils that are far re-
moved from their own field of social and political
activity while taking no interest in righting the
wrongs near home
The man who comments ON the weaknesses and
moral delinquencies of Tammany, at long distance,
escapes adverse criticism and runs none of the
risk encountered by man ON the firing line
Men abused Tammany who during the strug-
gle TO free California from the grasp of the cor
ruptonist lifted hand to aid the cause Of
honest and efficient state government.
Infinitely more dangerous than Tammany be-
wider in its power for evil is the cause
that is using the respected name of the president
Of the United States as a rallying point for every
organized enemy Of progressive government.

posed embodiment Of great cause Mr. Roose

MAY CLEAN UP MYSTERY.

The mystery concerning the BIRTH
place of the Venerable Bede, Eng
lands first historian, has a prospect
of being solved if the ecclesiastical
scheme for excavating the founda-
tons near the ancient tower of st.
Peters monastery, Wearwouth, is
successful. The monastery was
founded in the seventh century, and
is now part of the fabric of Monk
wearmouth parish church. The foun-
dations of the building, believed to
have been part of the monastery, are
situated near the west side of the
tower, and they have never been ex-
plored. The urearthing of the crypt
and of interesting tablets and memo
rails is probable, and this may throw
light on the birthplace of the Vener-
able Bede.-London Graphic.

CUBAN REBEL LEADER MAKES
THREAT TO ATTACK TOWN
Onslaught On Guantanamo
Would Precipitate Crisis
In Uprising

WASHINGTON, June 12.-The writ
ten threat Of the rebel leader Estenoz
to attack and burn Guantanamo,
where the main body OF American
marines are encamped, and tales OF
atrocities committed. by federals
against prisoners. frightened up the
Cuban situation here today.
Estenoz is thought to be in earnest
In his threat TO assail Guantanamo
and thus bring the revolution TO a
crisis at once. For two nights the
state department learned today, scat
tering shots have fallen in the head
quarters OF Lieut.. Col. Lucas, OF the
marines in Guantanamo. The naval
station near Guantanamo has not
been molested.
The marines in Guantanamo are
being held ready for instant action as
are the Cuban federal troops under
Col. Machado. A general attack on
Guantanamo, such as EstenoZ has
threatened In letter to the mayor
of the town in the opinion OF officials
there, would certainly be followed by
an order sending the American ex
peditionary force of 5000 regular in
fantry to the island at once.
Stories coming TO Washington to-
day that the Cuban regulars are
mutilatlng prisoners by cutting of
their ears caused state department
officials no little worry The United
States, as the recognized guardian of
Cuba, feels that IL cannot tolerate un.
civilized warfare In Cuba.

Been Destroyed

SEWARD, Alaska, June 12.-That
about 200 persons have perished In
the destruction of six villages as the
result Of the eruption of Katmai vol
cano was the fear expressed today
by persons on board cannery tender,
which arrived here. The villages, most
OF whose inhabitants were native
fishermen, are Kanatuck, Savanoo-
sky, Douglas, Cold Bay, Kamgamute

The tender reported that its last
reports Indicated that the eruption
had ceased, but sharp earthquake
shocks today caused the fear that II
may have been renewed.
II is impossible to get any details
of the destruction. but the tender
brought word that when 1t was last

FEAR DEMOCRATIC RULE

With the probable appointment of
Daniel l.. Dilworth as tax assessor, 10
succeed Henry Plass, July the
Democrats will be in control OF the
board OF assessors. The Republican
job-holders are speculating on their
chances for remaining In the office.
In former years whenever the Repub-
licans got control of the board there
was a general shake-up in the office
force and now that there are Is Re
publican employees to eight Democrats,
exclusive OF the assessors and ,sist-
ants, the Republicans are wondering
II they are due for the same treat
ment.
Several candidates have already ap-
peared for the jobs OF assistants, the
expected elevation OF Mr. Diiworth
creating two vacancies. Aid. Ed F
Keusch, William j. Lee, former sec.
retry of the Board OF Education,
and John Scott. at present clerk in
the assessors office, are mentioned
for the places.
