What the political Courthouse
gang are up to no one can tell. They
are beginning to realize the fact that
their days are numbered and they
are grasping at all kinds of phan-
toms and are displaying all kinds of
chicanery. They are now trying to
manipulate the voting precincts of
Mingo county to their advantage and
in their desperation they are resort
ing to every device to hold on to
their waning power. There is hard
ly a day but what you can learn of
some of their knayery and corrupt
political methods, headed by the in
diyidual who is presuming to. place
himself before the people as Judge
of this judicial district. They are
publishing a lot of rot about the
changing of the precincts of the
county at this time and from now
on you can be prepared to hear OF
all kinds of corrupt proceedings,
Give them plenty of rope and We
shall see where they land.

forward in the matter of procuring
the best man to wear the judicial err

the majority. The Machine Rene
gades of this county have put fore

put himself forward. 1t is not out
of place to discuss the matter as to
who should be our Judge and we
should say the very best and strong
est man should be selected. Any
body would be an improvement on
the present Machine Renegade Dem
ocrat who is aspiring to the Judge

the most corrupt political organiza-
tions in this county that has ever
been known i'm this or any other
country, and to elevate him to such
place would be calamity, there

a mistake should receive grave at

POSSES AND LEADERS. !"

In one Of his Massachusetts,
speeches Mr. Roosevelt said: MIR.
Taft says that his supporters are not
bosses. but patriotic leaders. Is Mr..
Lorimer a patriotic leader2 Is Mr..
Patrick Calhoun, of California, the
man whom Francis Heney indicted,
a patriotic leader? Are Messrs Gug-
genheim and Evans of C dorado pa
triotic leaders? Is Mr.. Penrose, of
PENNSYLVANIA patriotic leader?
Does Mr.. Taft mean that Messrs
Gallinger, Aldrich and Cannon are
patriotic leaders and not bosses?
Does Mr.. Taft mean that Mr.. Cox of
Ohio is a patriotic leader?
II don't care rap for the term
inology of the matter. l care for
the fact. If 1t is any comfort to Mr.
Taft to call Messrs. Lorimer, Cox
Penrose, Guggenheim, Calhoun, Gal
linger and the rest patriotic leaders,
instead of bosses, let hims do SO, but
earnestly hope that the plain peo-
pie will vote against that peculiar
type of patriotic leader; and, mind
you If these particular patriotic
leaders were not behind Mr.. Taft,
Mr.. Taft would have no chance OF
carrying one state in twenty
throughout this union"
Without desiring to seem toe
critical. one can not help remarkine
that in 1908 all of these gentlemen
named by Mr. Roosevelt were sup
porting Mr. Taft. Mr.. Roosevelt
knew it. They were also behind Mr.
Roosevelt himself in 1904, as they
We're behind the national ticket upor
which he ran in 1900. There was
no difference between Messrs Tai
and Roosevelt These gentlemen
were all patriotic leaders. Bryan

While men of all kinds are de-
batting about the cause of high
prices, Gov. Woodrow Wilson states
the underlying cause, accurately and
like a statesman. He says: y
We have only to dig a little way
into the tariff schedules themselves
and get experts to explain to us the
real significance of here a phrase
and there fraction, to see the
whole business laid bald aud bare
before us by which systematic ad-
vantage has been taken Of the tariff
to raise prices without awaiting the
assistance of economic laws, ard
without regarding either justice or
the rights of the public The tariff
is the mother of artificial prices be-
cause it is the foster-mether of mo-
nopoly, and only when these roots
of the whole evil thin are touched
shall we begin to get control of the
forces which have all but mastered
us"

Gentlemen, all, we are called upon
to conserve the best interests of our

in the wrong, no harm will come of
their efforts and the efforts of their
friends in the country, for whether
right or wrong a closer bond OF

But they are not in the, wrong.

fulfilling of our prophesies, while the

The Outlook of Mexico.

Our responsibility is not confined
to the protection of our own imme-
date interests in the country, great
as they are, out, by reason of the
obligations implied if not expressed
in the Monroe doctrine, the world
has the right to look to us to ex-
ercise some sort of police power
over the Mexicans. During the die
tatorship of Diaz there was no need
for the performance of this duty, but
now that Mexico has reverted to its
normal state of lawless unrest now
that the fiction of Mexican capacity
for constitutional self-government is
fully exposed, the only escape from
the responsibilities which confront
us is the rise of another dictator.
Madero has failed to fill that re-
quirement. Will Gomez or Orozco
or Zapata do any better-Philadel-
