His Own State Rejects Roosevelt.

Mr.. Roosevelt is now in the pecu-
liar and forlorn position of presi-

licly rejected by the voters of his par
ty in his own state. Apparently but
seven of New York's ninety delegates
to the Republican national convention
are for Mr.. Roosevelt, while eighty
three are for Mr.. Taft
Mr.. Roosevelt and his idolaters arc
loudly yelling Fraud! The only Wis
ible excuse for this howl is that the
Republican ballots were late in reach
ing number of polling places in
New York city. The head of the cleo
ton commission says the delay was
due to eleventh-hour litigation insti-
tuted by the Roosevelt faction over
ballot positions by which the printers
were tied up and timely delivery of
ballots made physically impossible.
AS the Democrats control the local
election machinery, and as it is evil
IDENTIFY the Democratic interest to let
Mr.. Roosevelt get as far as possible in
his efforts to destroy Mr.. Taft, the
explanation bears the stamp of truth
on its face. Furthermore, it does not
seem to be claimed even by Mr.
Roosevelt that prompt delivery of the
ballots would have much altered the
result. On the face of it the Roose-
welt men got tired and went home,
while the Taft men waited until the
ballots arrived.
The failure of presidential aspir-
ant to obtain solid delegation from
his own state has usually been fatal.
The only conspicuous exception was
that of Mr.. Cleveland in 1892. That,
however, was before they had the
legally protected primary in New
York. 1t could be explained as a
"Tammany intrigue" which it was.
Mr.. Roosevelt's rejection is directly
by the body of Republican voters of
his own state.

more. Chicago Inter Ocean.

The famous baseball player-evan-

the attempt which was made to con-
vert hard-fsted old mountaineer in
Kentucky.
"Jim," in addition to being in need
of regeneration of every kind, was
hard-headed and stubborn, and he re-
sisted all the. missionary work that
was done in his behalf. At last a
leading citizen 4 the little town made
a desperate attempt to save the sin
ner's soul.

mean to tell me you amt teched by
the story of the Lord that died to
save your soul?"
"Humph!" commented "Jim," in
disgust. do you mean to tell me the
Lord died to save me. when He amt
never seed me, or knowed me?"

hotly, ut wuz a darned sight easier
for the Lord to die for you because

HOMESTEAD LAW.

Speaker Champ Clark a few days
ago made brief-speech, in the house
in support of the Borah bill reducing
the homestead period from FIVE to
three years. The speaker favored the
bill and incidentally gave the greatest
Missouri statesman, Thomas H. Ben
ton, credit for the homestead law. He
said:
"Mr. Chairman, in the early days of
the republic speakers frequently took
part in debate. For some reason-I
do not know what-that custom has
fallen into 'innocuous desuetude,' to
use Mr. Cleveland's famous phrase. l
have notion, not fully matured, to
revive it. do not see why the speak
er has not as much right to make
speeches as anybody else, if he feels
like it.
"Missourians take an abiding in
terest in the whole western, south
western and northwestern country.
The ablest defender that the west
ever had in either branch of congress
was Col. Thomas Hart Benton, of
Missouri. the greatest Missouri states
man that ever lived; and Col. Roose-
welt says in his Life of Benton that
when thousand Missourians loaded
their wives, children and~-household
goods into their wagons and went
across the plains they settled forever
the ownership of what was called the
Oregon country; that up to that time
the people out there, when it was held
in joint occupancy, had been tempo
rary soujourners; but the Missourians
were there to stay. In addition to
that the country has been very largely
populated by Missourians. They are
a prolific race, and they like to go
forth to better their condition Just
why they leave Missouri can not tell
to save my soul, but they do leave it
l suppose have received over hun
bred letters from Missourians in the
west in favor Of this bill, and | am
making these remarks to please them
more than for any other reason, ex-
cept for the strongest reason possible
and that is that the bill is right ant
ought to pass.
"a strange historical fact is thai
during the entire 80 years that Ben
ton served in the senate he worked
necessarily to make it easier for peo
pie to really homestead land and liv,
upon it.
"And one of the greatest inaccura
cies in history is that the fatherhoot
of the homestead law is accredited
to Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania

other Republicans who believed the
Taft administration not sufficiently
progressive. So long as Roosevelt
maintained that position it mattered
not how vigorously he assailed the
Taft administration there could be
no proof that he was acting from
selfish motives Had he maintained
that position it is more than PROB
able that he would have been nomi-
mated. He apparently had the TAFT
forces not only on the defensive, but
beginning a retreat and asking for
quarter. Popular support was rap
idly turning from the president to-
wards Roosevelt and the feeling was
growing that Roosevelt was the man
to nominate.
But the tide has turned from Roose-
welt. 1t dates its recession from the
announcement of his candidacy. He
was from that time no longer a disin-
terested party. His solicitude for the
progressive movement was revealed as
a mask for a political conspiracy
against Mr.. Taft for the personal ben
eft of Mr.. Roosevelt. Multitudes OF
enthusiastic Republicans who would
have joined vigorously in drafting
Mr.: Roosevelt as leader turned
against him and bitterly resent his at
tempt to exploit his personal ambi-
tons at their expense and thrust him
selp upon the party. A large portion
of these Republicans under conditions
produced by his announcement when
forced to choose between Roosevelt
and Taft will follow the. traditions OF
their party and stand by the president
and the administration in power. Their
minds pregnant with the idea Of a
square deal which has been SO stren-
uously preached to them by Mr..
Roosevelt himself, they turn to ex-
emplify their belief in that. doctrine by
standing by Mr.. Taft.
The Chicago convention will con-
tain large following for Mr.. Roose-
welt, but they will be in the minority.
They can not name him for president.
The best they can possibly hope TO
do is to force the nomination of a
compromise candidate. They may
possibly defeat Mr.. Taft, but they can
not nominate Roosevelt. In case such
an event occurs Idaho will be pleased
to present the name of Senator Borah
and the outlook now is that he can
gather considerable support should
those conditions arise. Should Sena-
tor Borah announce his candidacy, OF
permit some of his over jealous
friends to do so he will find the same
creased slide to oblivion as Roose-
welt has hit-Gooding Leader.
