Hurt i'm Runaway.

Last Friday Matt Pibal and his
wife we're seriously hurt in a run
away which occurred on their farm
north of Tabor. The old couple
were about to make a trip to Ia
Dor in a buggy and just as they
were about to leave the horses be-
came frightened and both Mr.. and
Mrs. Pibal we're thrown out of
the buggy against one of the out
buildings. Mr.. Pibal has a collar
bone broken besides being bruised
on the head. Mrs. Pibal struck a
large stone in falling and has
three ribs broken and a large ga
on her head. They are now in the
care of DR.. Blezek and if nothing
unusual happens, both will soon
recover. The team they had ran
away the previous day but the old
gent thought he could handle
them.

CONCLUSION.

The purpose Of this resume Of the
contests In which there vas any shad.
ow Of substance has been to inform
those who have not time or inclination
to read the longer and more detailed
account Of them contained In the larger
pamphlet. 1t il not essential to make
Mr.. Taft's title indisputable that all
men agree on every one of the issues
raised. They were decided by the tri'
bunals which uniform party usage had
made the proper tribunals to decide
such contests. If those tribunals acted
In good faith mistaken Judgment would
not inVaIidate their decisions. AS a
matter OF fact. en- examination OF the
facts show that the tribunals were
right in every instance. There Ii not
the slightest evidence that they were
moved by other than a mere desire to-
reach a right conclusion On the other
hand, the action of the Roosevelt men
in bringing 100 contests that they
promptly abandoned strongly tended
to show the lack of good faith In the
prosecution Of all of them. Those who
support President Taft can well AFFORD
to stand on the record In this case and
to asseverate without fear Of success
ful contradiction that the delegates
whose seats were contested were as
fairly seated in this convention as in
any in the history Of the party.

This committee called a congressional
convention to be held on May 10. But
there was no publication Of the call.
which had to be thirty days before the
convention. until April 81. The Taft
convention seems therefore to have
been duly and regularly convened.
while the Roosevelt convention was
not, The Taft delegates were seated.
Tenth District.
In the Tenth district the decision
turned largely upon the bad faith with
which two members of the district
committee voted in the seating Of dele
gates and upon the bad faith with
which one of them used the proxy In
trusted to him. The Taft delegates in
this case bolted and left the hall and
Immediately in the same building Or
ganized another convention which cOn-
sisted Of delegates from six counties.
Proceedings were regularly held; a per-
manent organization effected. the re-
port Of the committee on resolutions
adopted and delegates pledged to Taft
were elected. The undisputed evidenee
indicated that a fragrant attempt had
been made to deprive Taft Of this dis
trict, to which he was justly entitled.
The national committee sustained the
dtle Of the Taft delegates and alter.
mates by a practically unanimous vote.
Fourteenth District. ,
In the Fourteenth district there were
fifteen counties in the district. When
the, executive committee met at San
Antonio to make up the temporary roll
there were ten members Of the com
mittee present whose right to act was
%undisputed. Of whom six were for Taft
and four for Roosevelt. There were
four other Roosevelt men present
whose right to vote was disputed and
who were clearly not entitled to repre-
Sent their county at that meeting. One
of them held the proxy Of the commit
teeman from Kendall county. who was
dead, and the proxies from three Other
COUNTIES were held. two by postmas'
tiers and one by an assistant postmns
ter, while under the election law OF
Texas no one who holds an office Of
profit or trust under the United States
| shall act as a member Of an executive
| committee either for the state or fol
n district or county The temporary
roll was made up by Taft members
ha wing a clear majority without per
hitting these men to act under theil
proxies. There was q contest over thu
delegation from Bexar county. which
contains the city Of San Antonio. Full
consideration was given to this contest
but the testimony was overwhelming
that Taft carried the county by q vot'
of four or Eve to OK. On the proper
basis the total vote In the district con
yention was sixty-seven, Of which TIT
number instructed or voting for Tai
was thirty-seven and one-half, th'
number voting or Instructed for Roose
welt twenty-eight and one-half, not vot
ing one. The Taft delegation wal
therefore seated at CHICAGO.

Centralized Government

American newspapers are OCCASION
ally moved TO poke fun at the sub
jects Of the British king for their
centralized government They are
fond of quoting the language of the
old time comparison that Great Brit
ain is like a huge spider with Il very
small body and with very long legs
which, it is said, are sure to drop off
some time. and leave the body in u
very sad plight.
Now. there is something to this
criticism For instance. when King
George was in Bombay recently, he
said in his address to the people there
that he had been in that city just
once before, and that was six years
ago. And despite his evident ignor-
ance of the country and its institu-
tons, he speaks very smoothly of
my possessions in India" and this
brightest star in the crown of Brit
ain; and he used other like illustra-
tons. all with very good effect and
doubtless with great pleasure TO him
self.
Americans, of course, are prone To
criticise that sort of thing. But what
about our own country? How much
recognition is the territory west of
the Mississippi, which comprises two
thirds of our domain--in the habit of
receiving.
Take a look at present conditions.
View the cabinet, for instance. There
is Knox, of Pennsylvania, Stimson. Of
New York, Wickersham, of New
York. MacVeagh. Of Illinois, Fisher,
of Illinois, and so on down the list.
lust one cabinet officer lives west of
the Mississippi.
How about the supreme court?
Holmes lives in Massachusetts,
Hughes i'm New York. Day in Ohio,
White in Louisiana and so on. The
president lives in Ohio and the vice
president in New York. The two
most important ambassadorial posts
are filled by men. one from New YORK
and the other from Massachusetts. 1t
happens that the speaker of the house
of representatives lives west of the
Mississippi, but this is the first time
such q thing has occurred in twelve
years.
Doesn't it look just little as
though the governmental tail is Was-
ging the dog?

In the bright lexicon of the contest

that those things beside their great

that he has been chosen for third
term. the chances are that, except for
any consequent fright that might re-
suit because of the innovation. things
would go along much the same as
they have been going along for the
past several years.
But there is another horrible sug-
gestion. Ii is said if Mr.. Roosevelt
be elected a third time ne may be
elected fourth time and even a
fifth. if he live long enough. But not
il the people don't want to elect him.
Let us remember that And if the
citizenship of the country choose TO
elect a man term after term. what is
TO be done about it? 1t is an inter
esting query. The constitution is
silent on the subject and in the abb
sence Of explicit guidance by that in
strument the electorate have the right
to do as they please.
And if a majority of the people of
the United States chooses to elect
man-Mr. Roosevelt or any other
man-for a half dozen terms, does
anybody know any good reason why
they should not do SO? They might
not be wise in following this course;
hut if they choose to follow it and do
follow it in fact, they are keeping
strictly within their constitutional
rights in the process.
The Republican doesn't know
whether it would he "A good thing to

Useless Pother

A good many newspapers, both
democratic and republican, are con-
siderably exercised over Mr.. Roose-
velt's presumptive candidacy for the
office of president of the United
States. But all this pother is really
unnecessary.
Suppose Mr.. Roosevelt is seeking
the nomination, what of it? He is
past thirty-fiv years of age, is q
native born citizen, and there is no
legal impeachment TO his alleged am
bition. Some say the breaking of the
two-term precedent is distasteful TO
a large section of the citizenship; but
Washington was Offered a third term
and So was Thomas jefferson. There
is very insistent demand, in these
degenerate days. that we return to
the government of the fathers; and
a return to the government of the
fathers. if we are to return all the
way. necessitates the offering OF a
third term to somebody. and Mr.
Roosevelt happens to be the only
available individual in esse.
And then we don't care as much
for precedent as we did once. In
deed. it seems that precedents. these
DAYS. are made principally that they
may lie broken. We are shattering
nreeedents right and left every day

Far be ii from The Republican to
defend the beef trust. This paper
confesses to a very serious dislike for
the business methods of many of the
men connected with that rather
malodorous organization; and il is
in hearty accord with many Of the
things that have been said about
them. but recent developments at the
trial Of the packers. now in progress
in Chicago, lead to suspicion that
there are other sinners in the coun-
try besides the beef barons.
Here is one Of the facts brought
out at the trial In 1909, when beef
steaks, such as the average citizen
buys. were selling throughout the
east and middle west anywhere from
70 to 50 cents II pound-when the
price of meat had scared to such
height that labor organizations and
societies of various kinds declared a
boycott on meat, when a wave of in
dignation was sweeping over the
whole country at the alleged eXac-
tions Of the beef barons," these same
"barons' were actually selling beef to
those dealers at SIX and seven cents
a pound.
An evasion by the beef trust"
somebody shouts. Oh, no. it is moth
ing of the kind That fact was es-
tablished by the governmental was
sworn to by witness which the
government placed on the stand. And
il was substantiated by the books Of
the packers themselves.
Now, the man who can buy beef in
Chicago at six cents pound and sell
il in Milwaukee or indianapolis or
Pittsburg at % cents and 80 cents a
pound, would seem to be operating on
a pretty comfortable sort of margin.
II has been established by the gov
eminent that in some instances the
beef trust made a profit as high AS
20 per cent Also, it has been es-
tablished that the retailers made in
some instances almost 400 per cent.
And almost any business man will
admit Il profit of 400 per cent isn't
half bad.
The Republican says amen to the
beef trust prosecution. But II Mike
Cudahy, plus 20 per cent profit equals
one criminal, what does another man
plus 400 per cent profit equal?
