furnished the scant majority by
which disgrace was perpetuated

1t is Interesting to note that the
votes Of Chiffon and watson alone!
had they been changed, would have
unseated Stephenson. AS both West
Virginia senator's have been sub

nature in their own state, 1t may be
safely assumed that they were voting
on the principle of taking no
chances.

seating Stephenson.

Examination Of the vote that was
cast in the United States Senate on
the charges of corruption preferred
against Stephenson, the millionaire
senator from Wisconsin, discloses
that Senators Chiffon and Watson
of West Virginia, both voted in IA
vor of allowing him to retain his
seat.
Stephenson was acquitted of the
charge of having corruptly expended
s1O7,7sS in the Wisconsin pri'
maries, by a vote of 40 to 4s. 1t
was determined that he had no
guilty connection with any cor
rupt primary methods, which, in
fact, was the only point that could
be tried, but there is yet a big sus-
picion that the aged mans seat
was bought by unfair methods
Senator Lorimer, of Illinois
whose right to retain his seat is to
be voted on within a few days, also
voted for Stephenson's acquittal'

Dodging the Issue.

In discussing ';Big Business" the
other night in Chicago. Colonel
Roosevelt fractured his precept of a
square deal when he said that "our
opponents differ from US in wishing
to see prosperity come to the big
man first, and then drip down
through to the little man" Doubt
less the colonel refers to President
Taft and his supporters when using
the term "our opponents" If so,
he deliberately misrepresented the
facts. None of the Taft men wish
for anything of the sort, nor would
the principles they favor, ii properly
carried out, bring about any such
unsatisfactory condition of affairs.
The great trouble with the colonel
is his inability to meet an issue
squarely, and this trouble is we'll
Illustrated by the Washington Post,
as follows:
Colonel Roosevelt has quoted lib
orally from the speeches and
writings of Abraham Lincoln, and
has emphasized his great admiration
OF ILincoln as man and a states
man. But he has seemingly over
looked one of Lincoln's points of
greatness, point that is worthy
of emulation by every man in public
life. This was Lincoln's absolute
fairness in stating the position of his
opponents.
In his debates with Douglas, Lin
coin stated fairly and squarely the
position of his opponent, and then
fairly aud squarely met 1t. He did
not attempt to confuse issues by
misrepresenting what the,opposition
stood for or by misquoting what
others said. Douglas. however, had
no scruples in twisting and garblins
what Lincoln said, and in misstating
his position. On the false premise
thus offered Douglas endeavored to
arouse the passions of the people
against Lincoln. The greatest dim
Guilty Lincoln had in the debate was
ito hold Douglas to the issue, honest
lily and clearly defined. He knew
that Douglas dared not face the Is
sue, and that Douglas would try to
becloud it by making it appear that
Lincoln was believer in the social
equality of negroes and whites-a
thing that Lincoln opposed as much
as douglas. /,
But the people were not fooled
Iby the misstatements of Douglas as
to Lincoln's position. On the con-
, trary, they resented the unIairnesS
of 1t, which was in effect an assump-
ton that they were not capable OF
understanding the real issue. The
appeal to sustain douglas and pop
ular rights" did not fool them. at
TALL.
/ 1t is odd that Colonel Roosevelt
has not had his attention attracse~
to Lincoln's unfailing fairness in
stating the position of IS oppo-
,nents.

 The fad of Mrs. Lois Miller of Hutch inson, Kan, is the collection of alman- acs. She has a complete set of these booklets dating back to 1921. In the years between 1920 and 1s45 the all munacs were as important in the homes as the family Bible. They were not given away as they are today. That was before the patent medicine makers had annexed the almanac business. Mrs. Miller says that many in her collec- ton sold for 25 to 90 cents each.
 These early day almanacs were not larger than the present patent med icine brand. but instead of being filled with testimonials they contained re- cipes. proverbs, admonitions, essays, and usually a sermon or two. The al- manacs of the 20's never ventured to
