ROCKEFELLER FOR TAFT.
Standard OIL Masnate's Interview u.
iumines Presidents Claim
to be 4 Progressive.

In recent speech at Philadelphia.
President Taft declared himself to be
Progressive. Colonel Roosevelt, In
commenting upon that speech, has
pointed out that there are no better
judges of what is q real Progressive
than the men who are now supporting
Mr.. Taft for denomination.
-Four years ago." said Colonel
Roosevelt. "the Progressives support
ed Mr.. Taft for President, and he was
opposed by such representatives of
special privileges as Mr.. Penrose Of
Pennsylvania, Mr. Aldrich of Rhode
Island and Mr.. Gallinger of New
Hampshire; as Messrs. Lorimer, Can
nor and Mckinley OF Illinois; and he
was opposed by practically all the
men of the stamp Of Messrs. Guggen-
helm and Evans OF Colorado. and
Mr.. Patrick Calhoun Of San Fran.
cisco These men were not Progress
sives then. and they do not pretend to
be Progressives now. But, unlike the
President. they know who is Pro-
gressive and who is not. Their judy
ment in the matter is good After
three and half years Of association
with and knowledge OF the President,
these and their fellows are now the
Presidents chief supporters; and they
and the men who feel and act as they
do In business and in politics give
him the great bulk of his strength.
The President says he is Progress
sive. These men know him well and
have studied his actions for three
years, and they regard him as being
precisely the kind Of Progressive
whom they approve"
This gives special point to an inter-
view given by John d. Rockefeller at
his Offices at IS Broadway. New York.
on October 80. 1908. just q few days
before the election at which Mr.. Taft
WAS chosen to the Presidency.
Mr.. Rockefeller declared that he in
tended to support Mr.. Taft because,
as he said, Il find the balance of At
ness and temperament entirely on his
side. The election OF Mr.. Taft will.

stability OF business. he Is not man.

periments or 10 impede return to
prosperity. by advocating measures
subversive OF Industrial progress.
1T cannot be said that the present
administration president Roosevslt's)
has In any way favored the special in
terests to which my life has been de-
voted"
Mr.. Rockefeller had not been at the
Offices of the Standard OIL Company
for several years when he gave out
this interview, but he regarded his
declaration for Mr.. Taft as OF such
Importance that he went to the Office
for the special purpose Of giving the
interview. No one has ever accused
MIR. Rockefeller of being Progressive.

ORIGIN OF THE RED CROSS SEAL
Stamp were First Used In Norway
and Sweden.

How did the Red Cross Christmas
Seal orlginate?' is a question that is
being asked by many during this holiday
season when millions of these stickers
are being sold all over the United
States. To Jacob Riis, the well
known social worker of New York, and
to Miss Emily P. Bissell, the energetic
secretary of the Delaware Red Cross,
jointly belong the honor of originating
our American Red Cross Christmas
Seal. In 1906 Mr.. Riis' interest was
aroused by the receipt of a Christmas
tuberculosis stamp on a letter from
Norway. He published an article about
this queer looking stamp in the Outlook,
and suggested some possible uses for it
in this country. Miss Bissell at once
saw an opportunity here and prepared a
stamp, from the sale of which her
society realized $4,000 for tuberculosis
work. So impressed was she with this
success that she induced the American
lNSu NIOoo " JdhG up bi4C SdiC III 1JOC
on a national basis. With very little
organization and with hardly any at
tempt at careful advertising, the sale
that year brought in, nevertheless.
over $135, 600 for anti-tuberculosis work
in various parts of the United States.
In 1909, with more thorough organiza-
ton the sale was increased to $3.50, 900.
and in 1910 to nearly 1910, 900. Last
year the sale increased to over $3.50, 900
or 80, 900, 900 seals.
While our own Red Cross Seal dates
back only four years, charity stamps,
from which this idea originally sprung,
90 back to 1862, when sanitary fair
stamps were first used in Boston to
secure money for the care of soldiers
wounded during the civil war. Nearly
81, 900, 900 was raised in this way during
the years 1862 to 1865. After the war
this method of raising money was dis
continued in this country for genera
ton, although it found vogue in Portu-
gal, Switzerland, Austria, France,
Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia,
Sweden and other European countries.

IHE PEOPLES FORUM.
One of the Results of Whiskey in
Oakland.

To the Editor of The Republican.
On Saturday evening, November %,
man was found dead on the road lead
ing from Oakland up the river toward
the lime kiln and upon investigation fol-
lowing it was learned that the dead
man was LEROY Guthrie, a farmer and
mine operator living in the neighbor-
hood. BY his death widow and seven
children, the youngest an infant of but
a few weeks, are left to face the trials
and vicissitudes OF life.
Guthrie left Oakland a few hours pre-
ceding his death in state of intoXica-
ton and in company with two other
men, who left him at the forks of the
road, his companions going on toward
Crellin. 1t is supposed that Guthrie
either fell or was thrown from his buggy
and sustained broken neck.
The man being in liquor the question
naturally arises, who is responsible for
his death and who was the cause of
bringing ruin and grief to this home now
left without the proper means of sup
port? Not the groceryman or the dry
goods merchant, neither is the man who
sells the product of the mill or factory
responsible, but the individual who
placed before him the cup that tends to
rob man of his reason and take from
him that power conferred by the All
wise when He created him in His own
image.
This is not the first death traceable to
the doors of the saloon. How many
more they will be held responsible for
is question.

DECEMBER CIRCUIT COURT.
Few Cases Disposed of This Week
Grand Jury to Adjourn To day.

The December term of the circuit
court for Garrett county convened Mon
day at 10 O'Clock with Judge K. z.
Henderson on the bench.
Austin Brown was appointed fore
man of the grand jury, with the follow
ing as members of that body:
Clever A. Michael, D. L. Conneway,
Albert Ashby, Ralph 7. Browning, E.
R. Brydon, Asa B. Friend, Jos. r.
Glass, G. j. Gnagey, VIM. NJ. Frazee,

Stephen Casteel, John L. Fratz. n. r.
Selby, Robert L. Grove, Chas. F. Ham
mond, Geo. Warwick, VIM. A. Carr,
John r. Cope and Ernest K. Hillearv
In delivering the usual charge to the
grand jury Judge Henderson informed
the jurors that the oath taken by them
made them a part of the court, as much
so as the judge, and that their part in
the proceedings was inquisitorial. AT
ter instructing them in regard to their
duties and method of performing them,
the Judge brought to their attention
certain statues required by law to be
brought to their attention.
Up to to-day very few cases have
been tried. A large number of wit
nesses have been before the grand jury,
which will most likely adjourn today.

on a loose board that went down with
him, throwing him under the rapidly
moving saw. He was cut so badly that
he died in seven hours. Mr.. Oss' home

chairman Hoffman and others that if
a certain resolution prepared by =
committee was laid on the table, he
would promise them his support for
the denomination of Taft. At that
time, also, we were advised that nu-
merous letters were sent to Mr.. b.
rall by his political friends here, stat
ing that he preferred Roosevelt to
TAFT, but would take no part in the
contest. Any further doubts as to
whether or not he would come out in
support of Roosevelt were put at rest
by recalling his attitude during the
last months OF Roosevelt's admins
tration, when the latter's policy of
conserving the resources of Idaho had
strained the relations of the two men.
The Columbus speech of Roosevelt
seemed to have settled the matter.
Now that the Ada county campaign
is over we look forward to an expla-
nation from Mr.. Borah of the reason
for his unusual demand on our peo-
pie to set aside their presidential pref
erence on his account.
In conclusion I desire to challenge
the chairman of the Ada county Re-
publican committee, who is also chair
man of the Roosevelt forces, to sub
NIT to the people of Ada county a
sworn statement of each and every
item of expenditure made by each club
during the campaign just closed, and

thereof

STATEMENT BY
GENERAL ROBERTS

desire at this time to express my
,noreciation to the loyal supporters
of President Taft who cooperated
with me in the effort to secure del
eoat;on favorable to his denomination
I highly appreciate the expression OF
confidence given me by tile Taft del
eeates who met in the Taft headquar-
ter. prior to the county convention
Saturday, and by rising vote passed
the resolutions which were published
Sunday morning in the Statesman.
II has been sought in various quar-
tiers to convey the impression that
large amounts of money have been
expended by the Taft club in the cam
oaien Just closed. The total expendi-
ture of money will not exceed $500.
NV efforts in various directions have
been hindered and hampered by the
lack of ready funds. and the apprehen-
sion that funds might not be forth
coming to meet necessary expenses.
The list of contributions to the cam
oaign fund of the Taft club has var
led in amounts from 81 to SIS. which
latter amount represents he largest
contribution made by any one person
for this purpose.
It has always been the custom in
Ada county in Republican conventions
to give proper representation to each
precinct represented therein. The
Roosevelt campaign managers, while
constantly asserting their desire to
carry out the will of the people, and
to give more direct representation to
them, have, in the convention just
closed, refused to give representation
to city precincts of Ada county, de-
spite the fact that there was a clean
majority for Mr.. Taft of 224 votes in
the city precincts of Boise. Matching
promise with performance, it seems
indeed to be sorry exemplification
of the old adage of keeping the word
of promise to the ear and breaking
it to the hope" And this is only par
alleled by their constant assertions
during the campaign that Senator b.
rah was indeed and in fact a candi-
date for the nomination for president,
and the Rooseveltian promise that in
case he failed in the nomination for
president on the first ballot, that
Roosevelt would turn his votes and
strength to Mr.. Borah; yet when they
had an opportunity to vote to make
Mr.. Borah a candidate for president
by the vote of the convention, the
Roosevelt forces voted solidly against
this motion.
