The pushing of Col. Roosevelt
to the front has done one good
thing: it has taken the wind out
of LaFollette's sails. We never
thought that the Wisconsin SEN
ator had much Of a show. He
has none now since the Oyster
Bay statesman has been pushed
to the front. V
What may happen between now
and June there is no telling; but
it looks as if the Democratic Con-
gress with it's tariff tinkering
will make the nomination of Taft
a matter of plain necessity. If
the Republican party is going to
abide by it's record, it will have
to sustain the President for he
stands by the last conventions
declaration of principles.
Does anybody know where
Roosevelt stands on the tariff
question? We know Taft mind,
do we know Col. Roosevelt's?
This is, the great question of the
day and the Republican candi-
date must be a man Of sound
views on the subject.

Tho Release of Banker Morse.

Mrs Charles ". Morse, wife of the
banker whose prison sentence has been
committed by President Taft, has la
bored indefatigably for pardon since
her husband was found guilty of vio-
lating the national banking laws:
Morse was indicted Feb. II. 1908, and
was tried the following October in the
United States district court, New York.
He was found guilty and sentenced to
serve fifteen years in the federal prison
at Atlanta. He appealed and lost and
also lost a motion for a new trial.

Ladies' World bears a new i'm
print THE Mcclure Publications,
Incorporated-but an announce
ment by the editor states that
the only editorial change will be
in the way of improvement, and
giving even greater value to the
subscriber. THE magazine opens
with a story by Keene Abbott
called Jeff of the Sheep Ranch.
Other short fiction of exceptional
interest are The Expulsion of
Tommy Gerreno, by M. A. Ian
dreux, and The New Mother, by
Imogen Clark. The serial, The
Land of Content, draws toward
the most exciting part Of the
novel. In special contributions
this number is exceptionally
good, the Dickens anniversary
bringing out very readable con-
tribution by Peter Freneau.
Then there is the third INSTALL
ment of Strickland Gillilan's a.
musing experiences, another of
the Studies in Married Life, and
a common-sense talk on Econom-
| ical Dressing. The household
department, as usual. is full of
practical up-to-date information
for the housewife and help for
the cook, and the rest of the
book deals with many other
things that women want to know.

During the Civil war Father
McEowen Loyalty responded to
his country's call for aid. enlist
ing on the 9Th of August, 1862,
at Greenville, as a member of
Co. G, 44th o. V. I. He served
until the close of the war in
mounted infantry and cavalry
forces; was once taken prisoner
and twice his horse was shot
from under him at Martinsburg.
He was imprisoned for a month
in the Pemberton building at
Richmond, and then released.
Always found at his post of du-
ty, he faithfully defended the
old flag and stood by the Union
cause until it's supremacy was es-
tablished. He was a staunch
member of the Grand Army of
the Republic and found much
pleasure in recalling the memor-
les of tented fields in the midst
of his old army comrades. But
the comrades are fast changing
to memories. Like the tented
fields, today the memory of his
life challenges ours by its stain

The gentleman himself declares

are forever pushing him to the
front. And that is sstrange, con.

land anent a third term. No man

ernment has been elected to the
third term. Washington could
have been, but he was patriotic
enough to decline the honor, see
ing in it. a menace to the repub-
lie, and ever since Washington's
day, no man was made president
of the republic for more than two
terms.
! In 1880 the friends of Gen. U.
S. Grant made a desperate effort
to nominate the old hero for a
third term, but the effort failed.
The General had served as :pres-
ident for two terms, and after
the expiration of his second term
had travelled through the older
countries across the Atlantic and
had been received with disting-
uished honors by the royalties
Of Europe. When he came home,
his friends started the boom for
a third term, supposing that so
distinguished a man as Gen. U.
S. Grant would be elected the
third time without much trouble.
They failed. The American ped
pie wanted no third termer in the
White House.
Roosevelt's friends would do
well to consider the task they are
undertaking.. If the hero of the
Civil war-the hero of the North
could not be elected the third
time. what hope is there of cleo
ting Theodore Roosevelt?
We believe that, like General
Grant, the ex-president is not
seeking the Office. It is his fool
friends that are active in the bu-
siness, and, like Gen. Grants
friends in 1880. they too will fail.

the Colonel, and he means by
that he is not making any active
measure to secure the nomina-
ton, but he knows well enough
that his admirers are doing all
they can to secure his nomina-
ton. And this he could stop if
he wants to. It looks as though
he IS willing to be pressed into
the service again. He is not an
active candidate like LaFollette
or Harmon, but a receptive one.
He will accept of the honor if the
public press him into it.

in trade of the opponents OF the
administration, whose hope is
that a feeling of doubt, artific-
ally prOpagated, will turn the
public from a calm consideration
of the questions involved.
Take Oklahoma, for instance.
Four years ago they tried the
same game out there and Presi-
dent Taft. then Secretary of
War quietly picked off the del
egates when the noise had sub
sided. 1t must be an edifying
spectacle to the American public
to have vaudeville methods ap-
piled to presidential politics in
the hope that by the use of dyn-
amite, boys on horseback and
other circus stunts, a convention
may be electrified and stampeded
into doing that which it's sober
sense would not permit. And it
is safe to assume that these me-
thods will be resented by no one
with greater indignation than by
the gentleman whose misguided
friends are endeavoring to con-
jure with his name in this unau-
thorized and outrageous manner.
Advance stories that purpOrt-
ed to show that the Fourth Ok
Iahoma District, at the Coalgate
convention, would instruct for
Col. Roosevelt, are of equally re-
liable character as many others
that are now being put into cir
culation. An announcement for
President Taft, unless it should
come from a notoriously rebelli-
GUS source, does not attract as
much attention as a declaration
against him. The fact that Ma
tional Committeeman E. G. Dun
can has declared that Taft will
get the solid delegation from
North Carolina" has been for
gotten by a good many people.
The announcement that both SEN
ators and everybody else is for
Taft in Delaware is being over
looked. Hayes of California says
that that state will rally to
Taft" but it doesn't cause much
excitement. Supreme Court
Judge r. J. Hanna and Creight-
on r. Foraker say that New Mex
leo is for Taft. Otto Barnard,
Samuel S. Koenig and Herbert
Parsons have made it clear that
New York will support him. Law
renee K. Langdon, Progressive
leader in Ohio, is making speech
es for him. The Republican men,
bers of Congress from Ohio have
declared enthusiastically for him.
Indiana has repudiated State
Chairman Lee because he showed
disloyaIty to Taft. National Com
mitteeman David ". Mulvane
says the delegation will be as a
man for Taft from Kansas. The
Virginia state committee, the
Tennessee committee. South Da-
kota Republicans at Huron, the
Georgia state committee and 9TH
ers have pledged support and de-
mand his denomination. Con-
gresham Ralph Cameron says
there is nothing to it but Taft in
Arizona. Samuel Platt of Car
son City pledges Nevada.
