rise above such personalities by putting
aside both rivals.
These men did not succeed. The real
LEADERS knew that they had to fight for
Mr.. Taft, because the situation had made
| it necessary for them to do so in order
to save the Republican party from a
dictator" They also knew that, in
order to keep the republic intact, their
main effort must be directed against the
usurper and his insatiate ambition.
Yet withal those oompropisers might
have effected some sort of truce had
not their offers of compromise can
didate on a progressive platform"-the
Cummins or Iowa theory-been re-
jected CURLY and extensively by Roose-
welt, whose only answer was, "Aut
Caesar, aut nullus !n-"noniinate mel"
Let us assume for the sake of argu-
ment, that the Chicago convention would
have beerf willing to indorse Roosevelt
platform. Even then no truce would
have been possible unless it took Roose-
welt along with it. Otherwise he would
have bolted his own platform. There was
but one way-submission and acceptance
of Roosevelt as dictator. Peace-loving
as Mr.. Taft is, such craven thing was
out of the question.
Should Roosevelt ever be willing to
forego his desire for personal exaltation,
the regulars would be quite ready to try
for a truce for the sake of a united
party.

0RANGEMEN AND
CATHOLICS CLASH
More Than One Hundred Injured in
Rioting in Belfast-Try to
Wreck Arches.

Belfast, Ireland. July Fin series OF
fights between Orangemen and Catholics
in various parts of this city to-day more
than 100 persons were hurt. All the reg
uiar and reserve police in the city were
on riot duty and at one time the sit
uation became so serious that troops were
held under orders in the barracks.
The battle started when Catholics at
tempted to wreck arches erected by the
Orangemen in connection with to-day :
celebra ton OF the battle Of the Boyne.
Fully 6o.O00 Orangemen gathered here
from ali parts of Ulster and arrange
meuts We're made for a big parade and
an enormous anti-home rule demonstra-
ton.
The weather was unfavorable and rain
fell throughout the morning, but despite
this unpropitious condition the process
sion was held. The Orangemen. headed
by half dozen brass bands. marched
through the principal streets OF the city
carrying banners and cheering.
After the parade many of the Orange
men held mass meeting at which they
passed a resolution declaring their de-
termination to use every effort to defeat
the home rule bill.

SENATE PROBERs

Committee Investigating Campaign
Expenditures to Delve Deep
Into 1904 Contributions.
INQUIRY WILL GO THE LIMIT

The inquiry into campaign contribu.
tons undertaken by the Senate commit,
tee is going to be much more thorough
! and far-reaching than was at first an.
ticipated. The facts brought out by the
examination of the chairmen of the two
big national committees in the 1904 cam,

committee, more detailed investiga-
ton.
The committee has accordingly deter.
mined to call as witnesses August Bel

and others connected with the handling
of the Democratic campaign fund In
1904. Thomas Taggart. Of Indiana, who
was chairman of the Democratic Ma

executive committee.
But the Senate committee will not
confine its efforts to worming out the

tributions. Chairman Clapp is getting
tired of the limitations that because he
is a Roosevelt supporter the inquiry Will
not be searching In regard to the Roose-
welt fund. 1t was learned last night
that there is a possibility that Roosevelt
himself may be invited to appear before

ground for extending this invitation.

PENSION INCREASE
DEPENDS UPON FINDING
LONG LOST BIBLE

Winston, Conn, July 12.-Cpon the
question whether a chambermaid EN-
ployed by local hosiery in 1854 obeyed
his injunction to keep this Bible until
call for it. hinges the possibility OF

He claims to have given the chamber
maid his Bible with those instructions
thirty-eight years ago. just after being
mustered out of the Union Army. He
now believes that he is over seventy
years old. but without the Bible, which
had the date OF his birth written in II,

Canal" Competition.

The House bill regulating the opera
ton of the Panama Canal has been re-
ported favorably by the Senate Com
mittee. 1t will be remembered that
the bill contains the clause excluding
railroad-owned boats engaged in coast
wise trade. The object of this pro-
vision is to prevent the railroads from
destroying water competition with
transcontinental lines by Using all their
own boats at noncompetitive rates.
We have pointed out before that to
our mind this clause is not far-reach-
ing enough to stop this evil, Threatened
by grasping trunk lines. So long as
the railroads have the power of ad-
hitting to their wharves only such
boats and steamship lines as they
please, what will hinder them from ex-
GLIDING any ships the rates of which
are competitive with their own?
The closing of the canal to all coast
wise boats except such as clear from
terminals open to vessels on equal
serms would insure real competition
with transcontinental railways, and the
railroad-owned boats would have either
to meet the competition or sail empty.
We have said so before and say it
again. Discrimination against railroad
owned boats, as embodied in the bill,
will fail to accomplish the object aimed
at. And, incidentally, trying to ex-
empt American bottoms from tolls
smacks somewhat of a ship subsidy
in disguise.
