announce that conference will be

evolve unity plan, which has been

his poem, 'fClear the Way" printed
If any one has 4 copy. Both poems

(By Charles Mackey.)
You cannot pay with money
The million sons of toll,
The sailor on the ocetn,.
The peasant on the soil,
The laborer in the quarry,
The newer of the coal
Your money pays the hand
But it cannot pay the soul.
49, p
You gaze OF the cathedral
Whose turrets reach the sky;
But remember, the foundations
Whic in earth and darkness lie,
And were not those foundations
So darkly resting there,
Your overs could never soar
So proudly in the air.
The workshop rust be crowded,
If the palace would be bright,
II the plowman did not pillow,
Then the poet could not write.
So let every toll be hallowed, =
That man performs fol man,
And have its share of honor,
AS part of one great plan.
The tiIier Of the soil need not have
an earthly mind.
Z The newer of the coal
Need not be in spiri. blind;
But each performs his labor
To help his fe1lowman,
Each from the Least to greatest, y
Is needed in Gods plan.
See, light darts down from heaven,
And enters where it may:
( And the eyes OF all earth's people
Are cheered by one bright ray.
So let the minds true sunshine
Be sp.ead on earth as free,
And fill the souls OF men
AS the waters fill the sea.
{ Ye men who hold the pen,
Rise, ike q band inspired,
And poets, let your lyrics
With hope for men be fired.
TIL the earth becomes a temple i
And every human heart
Shall join in one great service,
Each happy in his part.

The Standard Oil letters have been
embarrassing to many o. our states
men. In giving them publicity, MT.
Hearst has rendered a distinct service
to the Americas people, revealing, as
they do, the sordid story OF govern
ment for plutocracy.
The letter Of Representative Snbey
to Arehbold, in which Roosevelt is
shown to have expressed q desire to
have luncheon with the Standard Oil
man and talk matters over with him,
discloses, as the other letters disclose,
/ the connection between politics and
business. Silbey wrote:
"The president was delighted to
know that he had been misled as to
the attitude of the S. o. Co., or rather
delighted to know that the report was
untrue. i hink you can pu in a very
probable hour over here. know who
| told him, but l cannot repeat it. He
urged. strongly that you come over
and meet.hin, and said he wanted you
at luncheon where he could have a
lquiet talk with you. / cannot solve
| the motives OF the ones VINO put MN
on the wrong track, but he was there
and told me the story so far as !
would let him do so; / finally said
Please do not tell me, but If Mr..
Archbold comes over, you tell him.
The Archbold letter is suggestive OF
Roosevelt's letetr. to Hartman IL
which ne invited Hartman to visit
him, with the suggestion that he migl d.
desire to conceal his identity, and dis
cuss the presidential message, in con
nectioh with the raising of additional.

ROOSEVELT BY 10000
California Also Declares Un-
mistakabIy for Clark.
Incomplete Returns Show thai
These Two Candidates Distance
the Esd.

San Francisco, May 15.-Roosevelt
has carried California by a plurality
which will amount to forty or fifty
thousand, and he had also carried San
Francisco, but not by so large vote
Returns are still incomplete, but
they show that Roosevelt is leading
everywhere and that in the southern
part of the state he polled more than
the combined vote OF Taft and LaFol-
lette, and in many places, supposed
to be Republican strongholds, he has
beaten Taft by three to one. This
tremendous vote was scored in Pasa-
dena, Riverside and Santa Barbara
In San Francisco a majority of 90
$40 women must have voted for
Roosevelt.
Clark is sure of the Democratic
preferential vote, as he is running far
ahead of Wilson. In most Of the re-
turns received thus far he has scored
at least . to over Wilson.

Replies TO Presidents Charac-

OVATIOAS IN TWO OHIO CITIES
Roosevelt Holds Himself to Discussion
of Great Issues Involved in Cam
paien-Speaks in Eastern
Par of State.

Canton, O., May Is. - Theodore
Roosevelt in opening his Ohio cam
paipn, hot on the trail of President
TAFT at times only separated from him
BY two hours in the same towns, held
himself carefully under restraint in
his references to President Taft.
There was a short sharp bite in
what he did say, however about the
president, but it was little more than
encc to the bosses.
: Steubenville he said: 81 see that
Mr. Taft alluded to me as a dema-
2ooue and a flatterer, egouist and as
en"aged in 'honeyfugling' all of you
This will not tempt me into any re-
taliation in kind, but I wish to point
out to you this, that four years ago
Mr. Taft he'd not discovered that | was
a tlatterer, a demagogue, an egotist
and engaged in honeyfugling the peo-
pie"
At Youngstown the colonel said he
had not come to answer Mr.. Taft's
assaults upon him.
ever" he continued, that | do not
think was in very good taste-a jest
as to the possibility of my having died
on the Titanic. Mr.. Taft shall have
a complete monopoly of calling me
neurotic and a demagogue and Jest
ing about what would happen if | died
on the Titanic and all the rest of 1t.
| ask your attention only to the great
issues involved in this fight"
The real reception to the colonel
did not begin until the afternoon when
he reached Youngstown. There the
town turned QUIT and evolved itself
into demonstration.
At Alliance the crowd Of 5000 that
packed the public square was said to
be about twice as big as that which
turned out for the president in the
morning. Other big crowds greeted
him at Wellsville, Warren and Niles
These crowds were the best of the
day
The colonel spent the day in a bonn
bardment of the eastern side of the
state, travelling from south to north.

1T IS APPRE CIATED
Joseph ii. Stephenson'S Great Re
ductiOn Sale of Furniture.

The fact that people appreciate an
unusual opportunity was amply evil
denced yesterday opening day of
Jos H. Stephenson big reduction sale
Of his $G 900 furniture stock, conducted
by the r. Kelly Sales System, of Mime
apols The store was thronged all day
and the buying was liberal 1t is
the generally voiced opinion that the
bargains are greater than advertised and
certainly the variety and quality of the
stock could not be surpassed.
1t is somewhat unusual for reliable
furniture dealer TO hold special sale
and the people appreciate it doubly so,
because they know that Mr. Stephenson
will continue in business and that his
sole reason for allowing this remarka-
BILE price slashng is because he has
three times the stock he should carry
and this is evident to any one who
merely chances into the store. Furni
ture literally in stacks and hung from
the ceiling and there is great futter
of red tags, and if the people of this
section show their usual shrewdness
that furniture stock will dwindle
rapidly.
