force and weight and momentum OF
the Republican party. 1t is step by
step and not by leaps and bounds
that mighty nation moves forward.
1t is by building firmly from the TO !.
dation stones of sound and tried prin.
ciples that the enduring structure OF
national prosperity is to be erected.
and not by discarding the experience
and principles of the past and enter
ing upon an era of patch work and
experimentation. The principles
which have enabled the Republican
party to meet all the great crises OF
the past half century with visa legis
lation and judicious administration
are just as sound now as they ever
were and just as capable of meeting
the problems of the hture as they
have proved to be satisfactory in solv-
Ing the questions OF the past.
Colonel Roosevelt did not change
the nature of the Republican party
nor put stop to the advancement Of
the nation along sane and reasonable
lines when he refused TO permit the
Chicago convention to nominate a
candidate who would have been salts.
faotly to all elements; he merely
wrote himself down as more eager
to promote his personal ambition than
to safeguard party unity or advance
the interest Of the principles he pro-
fesses to have at heart.
It is no wonder that, with the full
knowledge OF what might have hap
pened in the Chicago convention and
of the reason 1t did not happen. such
men as Governor Hadiey, Senator
Cummins, Senator Borah, Senator
Gronna, Senator La Toilette and 9th
ers like them should have declined to
follow further the leadership of Colo
mel Roosevelt but have declared their
intention to give their support to
President Taft and the Republican
party.

BISHOP GRAFTON is DYING
Fond du Lac Churchman Rallies and
Asks to Be Placed in Chair,
But End Is Feared.

Fond du Lac.--After lying in
semi-unconseious condition for
hours, Bishop Charles Chapman
Grafton, well known churchman and
bishop Of Fond du Lac, rallied and
asked to be placed In ais wheel
chair, which he has occupied much
of the time this summer. His condi-
tion, however, is critical, and the end
is only question of days. Cable
grams have been sent TO relatives
abroad advising them of his condi-
ton. Bishop Graftons turn for the
worse followed steady improvement
covering period of some weeks,
which had led him to discuss plans
for Thanksgiving celebration to be
held in September.

Loses Foot Over a Dare.

Chippewa Falls.-George Nordby
and two companions sat on the 500
depot platform at Stanley, awaiting
the approach of an eastbound mid
night passenger train. They dared
each other to sit there the longest
with their feet on the rail. Nordby
outstayed his comrade and in at
tempting to get away from the on
rushing train he miscalculated its
nearness. The engine caught one
foot and crushed it. He was brought
to the hospital, where his foot was
amputated.

Prot. Wilson and the Earmeru.

IF prosperity is not to be checked
In this country we must broaden our
borders and make conquests of the
markets Of the world"
The foregoing sentence from a
speech delivered by Professor Wilson
at farmers picnic In Gloucester.
N. j., August Is, betrays either a re-
markable lack Of information on the
part OF the professor or a deliberate
intention to mislead his hearers
Plainly he intended to CONVEX the
idea that our foreign commerce Is
hating and hesitating. and the con
text shows that he attributed this
alleged condition to our protective
tariff policy.
The truth is that st no former pc
Rod In our history has the foreign
commerce of the United States ex.
banded by such tremendous leaps and
bounds as it has during the past four
years For the first time our exports
OF manufactured products during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1912, pass
ed the billion dollar mark; and for the
first time the record of the same year
shows our total exports to have ex.
ceeded two billions OF dollars. The
foreign commerce of the country, Inn
ports and exports, have considerably
more than doubled during the past
ten years, and the balance of trade In
our favor has stood at higher aver.
age than in any other decade in our
history. We are making "conquests
of the markets of the world to use
the professors happy phrase, at a rate
never before attained; and 1t is all
the more satisfactory when we re-
member that It is being done under a
policy which preserves our home mar.

RULED By AMBITION
ROOSEVELT WOULD NOT ALLOW
REPUBLICANS TO NAME COM
PROMISE CANDIDATE.
STATEMENT OF GOV. HADLEY
Colonel Showed That He Was More
Eager TO Promote His Personal
Aims Than TO Safeguard Party
Unity and Help ProsresslvIsm.

That was an important statement
which Governor Hadley of Missouri
made in Cedar Rapids. Iowa, recent
", when he said In effect that the
proposition was made to Colonel
Roosevelt that both he and President
Taft should withdraw in favor of
some third man who might be salts
factory as candidate to both wings
OF the Republican party. Governor
Hadiey himself was the man most
likely to be chosen in such event, and
1t appears that Colonel Roosevelt was
so apprehensiYe of this result that he
sent one of his iieutenants to the gov
ernor with the request that he put
an to the discussion OF his name.
AS the story goes. Governor Hadley
went at once to the colonel to know
whether his lieutenant spoke by au-
thority. He had no difficulty In find
ing out. Colonel Roosevelt told him
fatty that the people would not be
satisfied with anybody but himself as
the nominee and he could not give his
consent to the consideration OF any
other name.
1t was the knowledge of these facts
which led the editor Of the Topeka,
(Kan.) Capital, who was present in
Chicago during the convention, and
whose paper is even now strongly
supporting Roosevelt, to write an edi-
torial in which he outlined substan-
TALLY the above statement and de-
oiared pointedly and with emphasis
that Colonel Roosevelt was responsible
for the failure of the convention to
nominate Progressive and therefore
for the split In the party which fol.
lowed.
This is only another way of saying
that Colonel Roosevelt was more CON
cerned with the promotion of his own
personal ambition than he was with
the advancement of progressive prin-
ciples or with the success and per-
petuity Of the Republican party. No
one will challenge the assertion that
the Republican party, with it's long
and splendid history, its prestige and
its nationwide organization. would be
a better instrument for the advance
ment OF any set of principles to which
1t might be committed than a new
party even with Colonel Roosevelt as
its leader. Nobody either can chaI-
lenge the right of such men as Gov
ernor Hadley or Senator Cummins or
Senator Borah to be classified as
progressive Republicans.
II Colonel Roosevelt had been an
much interested in the advancement
Of progressive principles as he claim
to be. If be would rather have been
right than to be president, he would
have stepped aside and one of these
men or someone In complete harmony
with them would have been nominal
ed as the candidate OF the Republican
party and platform would have been
written upon which the candidate
could stand, so that the cause of pro-
gressivism would have had the whole
force and weight and momentum OF
the great Republican party behind It.
AS matter of fact, the cause of
real progress does have behind 1t the
