for whom champions have been too
few. | have been puzzled at the at
utude of the men in question. They
are often men who in the past have
been very severe in their Condemna-
ton of corruption, in their cOndemna-
ton OF bossism and in railing at in
justice and demanding higher ideals
Of public service and private life Yet
when the supreme test comes, they
prove false 10 all their professions of
the past. They fear the people so in
tensely that they pardon and uphold
every species of political and business
crookedness in the panic-struck hope
OF strengthening the boss and special
privilege and thereby raising pow
erful shield TO protect their own soft
personalities from the public They
are foolish creatures: the people
would never harm them; Yet they
still dread the people. They stand
with servile aCQuieSCenCe behind the
worst representatives of crooked bust
ness and crooked politics in the cOun-
try and by SPEECH or by silence they
now encourage or condone the efforts
of our opponents 10 steal from the
people the victory they have won and
TO substitute boss rule for popular
rule Some of these men have in the
past assumed to he teachers of their
fellow men in political matters. Nev-
er again can they speak in favor of a
high ideal Of honesty and deoency in
p01irical life or of the duty TO OupOSe
political corruption and business
wrongdoine: for to do so would ex-
pose them to the derision of all who
abhor hypocrisy and who condemn
fine words that are not translated into
honorable deeds
Apparently these men are influenced
by a class consciousness which I had
not supposed existed in any such
strength They live softly. Circum

these men of soft life seem cast into
panic lest something that is not rightly
theirs may be taken from them. In
unmanly fear they stand against all

change may le. They not only come
tar short of their duty when they thus
act. but they show a lamantablo short
sightedness. In this country of ours
no man can permanently leave TO his
descendants the right to live softly; and
if he could leave such q right, it would
in the end prove to be right not
worth having The inheritance really

our children and 10 our children 5

work-the ability for efficient effort,
not the opportunity for the slothtul

We have a right to expect in return

Chicago. June 1s.-Colonel Roose- ,
welt addressed a monster indignation"
meeting at the Auditorium last night.
In part he said:
Il address you as my fellow repUb-
licans. but also and primarily address
you as fellow Americans, fellow cit
liens, for this has now become much
more than ordinary party fight. The
issue is both simpler and larger than
that involved ia the personality Of any
man. or than that involved in any
factiOual or in any ordinary party
contest. We are standing for the great
fundamental rights upon which all sue
cessful free government must be
based We are standing for elemen-
tarv deceucv in politics. We are fght-
ing for honesty against naked rob
hery: and where robbery is concerned
the all-important question is not the
identity OF the man robbed, but the
crime itself.
As far as Mr. Taft and I are per
sonally concerned il little matters
what the fate OF either may be But
with Mr.. Tafts acquiescence OF By
his direction, and in his interest, his
followers have raised an issue which
s. all important 70 this country. II
is not a partisan issue; Il is more
than a political issue. II Is a great

7. r. Calls on Convention
To Check Alleged Robbery

ported other candidates TO remember
that one OF the cardinal principles OF
the doctrines which We hold in com
mon is our duty normally, Loyalty and
in good faith to abide by the well
thought out and honestly expressed
action Of a majority. The overwhelm-
ing majority Of the republican progress
siyes have declared for me. Il has be
come clear beyond shadow Of doubt
that Il ! had not made the progressive
fight II would have completely broken
down, and there would have been no
substantial opposition 70 the forces
OF reaction and Of political crooked
ness. Let those progressives who
stand for principle and who are con-
ce-ned with the fortunes OF any partic-
Ula- man only as q means for Sc
curing the triumph Of principle. pom
der these facts and refrain in this cri-
sis from playing into the hands Of
our enemies.
il is not TO be wondered at that our
opponents have been very bitter;
for the lineup in this crisis
is one that cuts deep TO the founda-
tons Of government. Our democracy
is now put 10 a vital test, for the con
fict is between human rights on the
one side and on the other special
privilege asserted as property right.
The parting Of the ways has come
The republican party must definitely
=f1a he
must stand. by deeds. and not mere
~ by empty phrases, for the rights Of
humanity, CT else II must stand for
special privilege. Our opponents are
fond Of calling themselves regular re-
publcans In reality they have no
title 10 membership in any party that
I is true 70 the principles of Abraham
. Lincoln. They are lighting for the
cause Of special privilege and their
/ chief strength Is drawn from the
( benefciaries OF entronched economic
and social injustice do not in the
least mean that they are all Of them
or even q majority Of them injured by
. improper motives any more than
would say the same thing Of the men
ir the north who during the Civil
war were favorable 70 slavery and
hostile 20 the union. But most OF
the master spirits among them have
a strong selfish interest in resisting

wrong The real masters among ouI
opponents are often by no means the

REGARDING THEIR

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Secre-
tary of the Navy Meyer assailed the

Whether the pork barrel Is more

Heavily armed an angry mob is to-
night gathered around the frail

lynching Jas. Dawson. n United States
der home on a furlough who late
last night murdered Kenneth Bar
rett and his wife and perhaps fatal
y wounded Daisy Dawson. a sister.
Mortally wounded. Mrs. Barrett gave
birth TO n child and then died. The
bullet that caused the death OF Mrs.
Barrett also caused the death OF the
unborn child.
Because OF the wires being down
between this city and Vulcan IL is
impossible TO learn details tonight
Of the working of the mob and sew
eral reports have been received that
Dawson was lynched shortly before
midnight. but this report cannot be
confirmed. The report is 10 the
effect that the mob stormed the fail
and strung the murderer up TO a
nearby tree.
Domestic trouble Is said 10 have
been the cause of the murder. Daw-
son had just returned home on leave
OF absence when he engaged in "A
quarrel with Barrett. Drawing his
revolver he sent two shots through
Barretts brain and then shot his
wife. who was clinginr to his shoul-
der. II is believed that the shooting
OF his sister was accidental.
After committing tine crime Daw.
son attempted 10 ESCAPE across the
border into Kentucky but was caught
by the mob along the Big Sandy. lie
was later rescued by the police and
locked in the frail jail. When the
news spread the mob gathered quickly
and the reported lynching followed.
The last report received from Vul-
can OF an authentic nature was 10
the effect that the armed mob was
gathered around the jail and the ex-
pected lynching would soon follow.
