travagant claims and unreasonable
demands in hope of carrying the
delegates off their feet and carry
the convention by stampede. But
their efforts proved a fat failure,
for the general tone of the conven-
ton was in favor of fairness and
justice. Roosevelt, on every occa-
sion where he had opportunity,
roared like the bull of Bashan,
calling all who opposed his nomin-
alton thieves, robbers" trait
ors" and accusing honest men who
could not be bought or bulldozed
OF dishonest practices. 1t was
shown during the hearing of the
contested seats before the national
and crede ntials committees that
there had been a well-conceived
plan upon the part of Roosevelt
and his trust hackers to fill the con-
vention with bogus delegates in his
interests which, in most of the con-
test cases, were SO apparently dis
honest upon their face that the
Roosevelt members of the commit
tees voted to seat the Taft dele
gates.
Saturday night, what had been
expected for at least two days be-
fore the vote was taken, William
H. Taft, of Ohio, was renom-
mated for the presidency, and
James M. Sherman for the vice
presidency, upon platform which
will commend itself to thinking,
thoughtful men. The claim that
President Taft has not carried out
the pledges made in the platform
upon which he was elected is nei-
Their fair nor just. During most of
his term the Democrats and insur-
gent Republicans in both branches
OF Congress have prevented in a
large measure the fulflment of the
promises made by the party. The
President is an honest, patriotic
man who has striven to give the
country good administration.
The writer recognizes the fact that
he has made mistakes, but they
have been of a political character,
which he no doubt would have
avoided had he been politician.

Must Hdye Money to SQuander.

Attorney General Bancroft, Just
before leaving for Europe on a
business trip, in speaking of the
income tax, said in part:
The income tax has proven a
failure and a farce in every state
which ever tried it, and has been
repealed by all of them and is, in
my opinion a disgrace to the state.
The only purpose of its passage
was to create another board of petty
office holders, and the revenue de-
rived from the tax will scarcely
suffice to pay their salaris. If this
substitute for the personal property
tax proves a failure, the only thing
left for taxation will be real estate.
That will mean the farmer and the
already overburdened and over
taxed agricultural interests of the
state will be called upon to meet
the deficit of extravaganza in state
expenses which now cost upwards
OF SI2 200, 900 a year, and all of
this enormous revenue is expended
on experimental legislation such
as state prison binder Irvine plants
and abandoned farms for the uni
versity at 81, 900 per acre for the
benefit of Madison real estate spec
ulators.
The income tax has already
driven capital from the state. In
dividuals and industrial corpora
tons have changed their place of
residence and have taken with them
their property which heretofore
paid a liberal portion of the public
revenue. 1t stultif1es the individu-
al. 1t encourages perjury. It hu-
initiates and degrades the dignity
of American citizenship by subject
ing the individual to inquistorial
interference in his private affairs
and his personal credit by a pry-
ing tax ferret who enforces his de-
mandS uDon the farmer and the
business man alike by threats of
criminal prosecution.

Thoughts BY the Way.

During the late Republican ma

unmeasured terms the primary cleo

door for more political knavery than
was ever dreamt of under the old
caucus and convention system and
was far more fruitful of bosses and
bossism. Ex-Governor Carroll of

We have heard much in recent
years relative to progressive prin-
ciples that the peoples interests
may be carede for and come into
their own. At the Chicdgo conven-
ton last week, there were three
progressive aspirants for the pres
idential nomination and had the
progressive delegates, so called,
united at any time upon either one
of the three, there is no doubt but
they might have nominated a pro-
gressive leader. Were either of
the aspirants honest and influenced
by high sense of duty to the
country and people?

Iowa, said the only difference be-
tween the old system and the prim-
airy plan was that the latter made
more bossy bosses. He must
have had Wisconsin in mind. Hon.
Ezra Elliott of Colorado said that
it created demagogues, and the.man
who made the most noise made the
greatest claims to political virtues
attracted the most attention, and
the man who could pay the price
generally got the cake, without re-
gard to competency or worthiness.
The editor of the Leader is not
an enthusiastic admirer of Robert
M. La Toilette, but believes n
political ethics and morality. Had
he been elected as a La Toilette
delegate to the Republican national
convention, he would have stayed
with La Toilette even if he did not
have a ghost of a show, and not
have strengthened the hands Of the
man who had treated him most shah
billy and unkindly. The expIana-
tons of Gov. McGovern and Henry
Cochem, while plausible to some
extent, do not show the loyalty
that La Toilette had right to ex-
pect.
