In his Lotus club response, Presi-
dent Taft said: although l am a
conservative, am not reactionary.'
This admission is at variance with
Mr.. Taft's professions when first a
candidate for the presidential office.
Then he posed as a progressive and
his first nomination was considered
a victory by the progressives Of ev-
cry party utilization. Well, the pro-
gressives have balanced the account
with His Excellency.

If any Texas man is given a place
in President-elect Wilson'S cabinet
that man. should be our oid-tlne
friend, Cato Sells. Had it net beer
for MI. Sells personal efforts, it is
not probable that Texas would have
been for Wilson in the Baltimore con-
yention, and Texas for Wilson during
the first days of that convention
meant much more than the votes
Of the Texas delegates. 80.

WILSON ExPEcrs SUPPORT o
EVERY TRUE PRooRE ssIvE. n

Governor Wilson'S first reference
to the democratic victory was this:
"At great cause has triumphed. Ev-
cry democrat, every true progress
i've, of whatever alliance, must now
lend his full force and enthusiasm
to the fulfillment Of the people 8
hope, the establishment Of the peo-
PIES right, so that justice and pro-
gress may go hand-in-hand." ..l
. This is a wise and patriotic state
ment. Progressives, no matter what
may have been their political ALI
ance, should be willing to help up
hold the administration Of truly
progressive president. ..-,
AS a people, we have reached a
milepost in our history, beyond which
no political party can exist half con-
sentative and half progressive. Ana
there is not room enough in this
country for two progressive parties.
1t is quite probable that the Presi-
dent-elect will be unable to carry out
his progressive policies and at the
same time retain the support Of all
the democrats who voted for him at
the recent election But he propos-
es to deserve the support Of all pro-
gressives, and not alone dserve their
support but have it, so that justice
and progress may go hand-in-hand."

.TAFT,s PIE COUNTER TROUBLES.

"A goodly portion of President
Taft,s troubles can be traced to his
division Of the political pie. To
commence with, he underestimate
the patriotism and manhood Of the
progressive republicans when he tried
to compel them to support his con-
servative and reactionary policies by
depriving them of appointments until
they did so. And now he is on the
Threshold Of more trouble. By I'M
ierestimating the manhood of Amerl-
cans he has won the distinction Of
going out of office, at the end of
first term, by vote more nearly
approaching unanimous consent than
that given to any of his predeces-
sors. But he does not seem to have
profited BY his plumbers, and is 60
ing to bl,1nder again. ,ssa
According to well authenticated re-
ports, Mr.. Taft is going to-, make all
the political appointments he possi-
bly, can during the few remaining
months Of his term Of office, and will
so scheme as to leave but little pat
ronapa at the disposal Of his success
sor
Z III It is reasonably safe to say that
nine tenths of the American people
will consider the Presidents appoint
ment program as petty politics and
sdisgraceful to the high office he
holds. 1t is also safe to say that a
scheme which is condemned by fair,
minded men of all parties has a
rough road ahead Of it.
When the President appoints a
large number Of his supporters to
various offices and sends the list ov.
81 to the senate for confirmation,
trouble. via begin. y 1t is not at all
likely that the progressive members
%. that body will enter into q
pie counter contract with the Presi
dent. Thus far they have proven
themselves a tuck above that class.
The democrats and progressive re
pubqicans control the present senate
am: have no desire to share the ig
Eominy o.. the Presidents blunders.
The senate will probably insist up
on the President going along to the
end, in the matter Of appointments,
just the same as though republi.
can instead Of democrat was to be
inaugurated as president on the 4th
of next March.

SMALL BOY CLEARS $500 FROM
- FERRETS.

. i
The following is taken from the
December Woman's Home Compan'
ION: .-
'"Ferrets are more remunerat1ve
han either the white mice or the
pigeons, as when they are about two
ronths old they are ready for the
market, and bring four or five doll
ars a pair. : These little animals
breed twice in a season, and have
from five to fourteen in litter. They
are as easy to raise as cats, and
make pretty pets. A small boy, whose
grandfather made him Christmas
present Of three female ferrets and
one male, cleared over two hundred
dollars last season."

BALKAN WAR NEARING THE ENC

BALKAN WAR NEARING THE ENE.
The Turks are beaten and have
opened negotiations with the Balkan
States to secure the best peace terms
possible. The war has lasted only
six weeks, but it has been almost
without precedent in modern times
for fierceness and loss of human life.
Several divisions Of the Moslems
have been entirely destroyed, and the
losses Of the allies in killed and
wounded will probably exceed 1907
900. But the wand of civilization
has touched European Turkey. The
dominion Of the Turk in Europe is
nearing its end.
This much desired result has cost
the. lives of tens Of thousands of
Christian soldiers. But they will
sleep in a land they have freed from
the rule Of the unspeakable Turk.
In this instance, war was as neces-
sary as it has been terrible. In this
instance, civilization has ridden for
ward on a powder cart" 49,. !
The big money lenders OF Europe,
q
who own Turkish bonds, have for
many years been in partnership with
Turkey and responsible fer much of
the human suffering in that afflicted
country. When the peace treaty is
written they should have no claims
against the territory freed by the al
lies.

You Can Do A lot Of
Cement Work Yet II
Yeu Work It Right

Experienced cement workers do
bus ness right up to the permanent
freezing time.
They get the preliminary work all
ready, do the grading, put in the Gin
ders or gravel foundation and get the
forms placed all ready to run the
concrete or cement.
Then they watch the weather or
weather reports and when a warm
spell looms up they work fast on the
cement proper.
Cover it up good at night and your
cement work will be safe and hard in
a 'ay or two.
OF course, your corn needs husking,
but that CAN wait, a day or two
while cement work CAN'T wait. We
still have enough Lehigh Portland ce-
ment to do all of the work that you
wanted to do. Better come in and
get it and get the work ready so
that you can use it the first warm
day that appears.

ROOSEVELT A CANDIDATE.

Il will accept the nomination for Presi-
dent If it is rendered me, and ] will adhere
to this decision until the convention has
expressed its preference" is Col. Theodore
Roosevelt's reply to the letter Of seven
Republican Governors asking him to stand
for nomination.
Republican progressives hailed the an
nouncement with almost as much enthu-
siasm as the Democrats. The Conservatives
remained silent. but with solemn mods in
timated that the Grand Old Party"is now
definitely plunged into an internal war,
which will be a serious handicap in its
fight to elect President next fall.
Before announcing his candidacy for the
nomination for the Presidency. Mr.. Roose-
welt delivered a speech on Wednesday of
last week before the Constitutional Con-
vention in session at Columbus, Ohio, set
ting forth his radical progressive policies,
which, condensed, are as follows
II believe in the short ballot.
You will get better service where you elect
on by few men. and where each man has
his definite duties and responsibilities"
II believe in providing for direct nomi-
nations by the people, including therein
direct preferential primaries for the cleo
ton Of delegates to the national nominal
ing conventions"
u believe in the election of United States
Senators by direct vote. Just as actual
experience convinced our people that Presi.
dent should be elected Gas they now are
in practice, although not in theory by di.
rect vote of the people instead Of by
indirect vote through an untrammeleC
electoral college, So actual experience ha.
convinced us that Senators should b.
elected by direct vote Of the people in
stead Of indirectly through the varioui
legislatures.
Il believe in the initiative and referen
dunn. which should be used not to destroy
representative government. but to correc
ii whenever ii becomes misrepresentation
Il believe that the initiative and refer
endum should be used not as substitutes
representative government. but as meth
