THAT Hammond, Indiana,

THAT Hammond, Indiana,
: sport who held five aces
in a poker game, discovered that
fives were not good as against a
flush and a double barreled shot
gun. The holder of the flush
and the shot gun was very
moderate in his contention that
Mr.. Hoyle was good authority on
poker. He used only one barrel
of his gun and shot below the
knees. According to the latest
medical authorities in Kentucky,
the practice of holding fives in
a poker game is too dangerous
to become epidemic.

THE BULL MOOSE move

THE BULL MOOSE move
l is being sneered at by the
leading dailies of both Demo-
cratic and Republican persuasion
who affect to believe that the
candidacy of Roosevelt will have
little bearing on the election re-
suit in November. If these pa
pers would learn to tell the truth
and let their readers know the
real situation they would have
more weight when they attempt
to influence public opinion.

That the third party bill have
a decided effect on the result of
the election this fall is patent to
all thinking men. Just what efs
feet it will have is difficult to
tell. Taft was beaten from the
day of his nomination, and the
third party movement can only
make his defeat more decisive.
But there are other effects it may
have. If it carries a few states
it might throw the election of
psesident into the House of Rep
resentatives. 1t might even win
the election.

There is a growing belief in
the minds of the people that the
two dominant parties have kept
the real measures that would be
of benefit to the people in the
background, and have faxed is
sues" to keep up party strife
and elect men who would pam
der to the big business interests.
The people are tired of being
given only promises of relief,
and the number that are willing
to lay aside party and vote for
measures is hourly increasing.
In the great unrest of the pres
ent no one can foretell how the
great masses will vote this fall.
If the Bull Moosers adopt a
radical platform that has the
ring Of truth and sincerity in it,
and make a vigorous campaign,
their recruits will not all come

WASHINGTON March 1.-The senate
today adopted resolution calling oh
President Taft to submit to all the cor
respondence with Colombia dealing with
the acquisition Of the Panama canal
tone BY the United States. The resolution
was offered by Senator Hitchcock Of
Nebraska. who urged It's adoption In a
speech In which he charged former
President Roosevelt with participation In
conspiracy TO foment the revolution by
which Panama was lost 10 Colombia and
the canal zone became the property Of
this country. There was no division on
the vote OF adoption.
''The conspiracy which resulted In the

approval of the highest United States
officials, and the spoliatlon was largely
