THE ELEVENTH COMMANDMENT.

President Taft has been Officially
notified of his nomination for the
presidency by the republican party in
the Chicago convention, and officially
he has accepted that deserved honor
The notification speech was made by
Senator Root who took occasion 70
say that Mr. Taft's title to the nomin-
alton is las clear and unimpeacha-
BILE as the title of any candidate Of
the party since political conventions
began" The senator continued:
For the second time in the history
of the republican party, a part of
the delegates refused to be bound by
the action of the convention. The rea-
son assigned for this course the
dissatisfaction with the decision of
certain contests in making up the tenn
porary roll of the convention. Those
contests were decided by that tribunal
upon the law that has governed for
more than forty years which impose
the duty of deciding such contests"
The injection of this question into
the formal notification to the presi-
dent of his nomination, shows ccnclu-
sively this, that the republican party
not only has nothing to fear from a
careful investigation of tn. merits OF
the Chicago contests, but that it Is
inviting such investigation, and The
declaration of Senator Root cannot be
interpreted as other than challenge
to the Bull Moose and his cohorts to
prove their oft-reiterated charge of |
fraud.

will be brought up in the house to-
morrow, when it will be sent back to
conference to await the caucus action

tcrian and statesman, Ruggiero Bon

taken to recreate what it must have

stand the baths. One does not need
to be a profound student of Roman
times to understand what it means to
discover under one building (the

STEEL TRUSTS LABOR POLICY

The Steel Trusts labor policy has
been wonderfully successful, from the
capitalistic point Of view, ever since
the trust became well organized.

AT each of these plants this morn

charged by their brass check being

threats that a similar example will
be made of Others"

NO USURPATION.

While bills calling for the repeal
of the newspaper publicity law are
pending in both the Senate and the
House, the matter has already been
argued before the Supreme Court.
The measure which could throttle
the free press, giving Congress, as it
does, a practical censorship of all
publications, was argued against by
Mr.. James M. Beck on the ground of
unconstitutionality.
Touching on the attempt of Con-
gress to exercise a forbidden power,
Mr. Beck said:-"S Should the Court
sustain the contention of the govern
ment in the case at bar, then its
great declaration, through Chief JUS
tice Marshall. that Congress may not
under the pretext of executing its
powers, pass laws for the accomplish
ment of objects not intrusted to tbs
government" will become for man.

letter"
The decision of the highes

will be awaited with keen interest.
