THOU SHALT NOT STEAL"

Notwithstanding the pronunciamento Of the Re-
publican party leaders that the tariff will be the issue
this year, the fight all along the line both within and
without the Republican party organization will be
over the validity and honesty of Tafts nomination
The South Dakota Republicans have already held
their convention and decided that Taft was not hon.
esty nominated and is not entitled to their support.
One-thrd of the Ohio State convention voted
against resolution introduced by Tafts own hench-
men and neighbors declaring his nomination regular.
The very fact that it deemed necessary by them
to introduce this resolution is confession that they
regard it as very serious.
In Michigan next week and in Indiana and Kan
early in August the entire fight will be whether
or not the Republican State conventions will brand
Taft as the nominee of a crooked and stolen con.
vention the receiver of stolen goods to such
tent that his nomination would have been impossible
without them
In spite of what politicians back Of Taft's candi-
dacy give out for publication they know that the
peoples platform this year contains but plank
Thou shalt not steal.''

WHAT IS A TAFT PROGRESSIVE?

BY way of the Rochester Courier, one Of tho
leading weeklies of New Hampshire, we learn that
"A TAFT PROGRESSIVE is about the only sort Of
candidate that can be elected governor this fall"
What is TAFT PROGRESSIVE? 1t must be
peculiar to the New Hampshire fauna. There is
only known species of beast or bird that can 60
backward as fast it 60 forward and the nature
books do not give the Granite State as its habitat
We are interested in this new form of life We
want to know more about it. Does it have claws or
wings? Does it walk erect or crawl? Is the female
more deadly than the male and does it live in cave
or roost in a tree? Can it be caught alive? And
If so with what bait?
We and the rest of the world are waiting. Tell
us more about il.

WHY ASK TAFT TO QUIT?

The movement to petition Taft to withdraw cer-
tainly does not lack for basis. And it might serve
one worthy purpose, if it is carried forward-that
of showing more how many thousand Republi-
would be glad to him retire from the contest
The entire lack of real interest or enthusiasm in
his candidacy apparent enough before the Chi
cago convention. Now it hangs like a death pail
over the prospects of the Republican party The
bosses who named him knew he was politically
doomed at fhat moment Now the utter hopeless
ness of his carrying than four States is recog-
nized everywhere. -.
The grim irony of it is that Taft will not with
draw. The time for him to have withdrawn was
during the convention contest.
But he will never 60. Any man who would take
the nomination by the methods which secured it for
him will not drop out now. Over 100000 Repub-
lcans asked him in the primaries to retire. The real
majority of the convention, as. the bosses who de-
feated it by mani pulation and trickery we'll knew,
were most urgent to have him retire. Such petitions
and facts were strong enough to influence any man
not determined on candidacy at any hazard.

WHICH ALTERNATIVE?

We believe in the preservation and main
tenance in their full strength and integrity Of
! the three coordinate branches OF the Federal
Government, the executive. the legislative and
the judicial, each keeping within its own
bounds and not encroaching upon the just
powers of either of the others-Democratc
National Platform.
Will Candidate Wilson agree to this plank in the
platform which his party has adopted as the policies
to be pursued in event the Democrats successful
this election? 1t virtually pledges Wilson, in event
of his election to keep his hands off the legislative
branch of government. 1t cannot mean anything
else if it is to mean anything at all.
Whatever strength Wilson has among the people
is directly due to his utter disregard of the theory
that the Executive has no right to encroach upon
the prerogatves of the legislative branch of govern
ment. 1t is because Wilson, as governor of New
The Washington times., 1912-07-13

Jersey has not only exercised the functions OF the
executive in enforcing laws passed by the legislature,
but has used every force within his power to compel
the legislative branch Of the New Jersey government
to pass certain bills and not to pass other bills that
he has earned among the people Of the nation
reputation as man who does things, as man who
really leads.
1T is because Wilson has made an "unconstitu-
tional governor, because he has not recognized the
theory of coordinate branches Of government that
first earned him the enmity Of the bosses and then
earned him the approval of the masses. Had he
not upon several occasions used the big stick" on
the recreant and reluctant legislature; had he not
even disregarded party regularity and all party rules
and made alliances with Republican members Of the
legislature in order to bring defeat and confusion
to the Democratic leaders; had he not so far dis
regarded the theoretical limitations of the executive
as to threaten to take the stump against every
member Of the legislature who did not vote for cer-
tain Of his recommendations Wilson would have
gone the way Of all governors who have been mere
fgureheads
Indeed, in defending his acts, Governor Wilson
in an interview in Harpers Weekly of August 20,
1911, said ..... ~
When running for governor frankly
said that, If elected, should take my election
a mandate to lead; a declaration by the
people of New Jersey that was required to be
the leader of the State, the single lever, for
the effective control of its government My
opponent said that II elected, he intended to be
CONSTITUTIONAL governor, that he would
make recommendations to the legislature and
then leave the legislature alone to decide
whether his recommendations should be carried
into effect. I said that II that what
meant by being constitutional" governor,
intended II elected, to be an unconstitutional"
governor; for 1 should hold that had a
date from the people of the State not only to
recommend reforms but to use every honorable
in my power to have them made into
laws. l offered myself a leader and the
people of New Jersey accepted my offer.
Now what is he to do as President? Will he
agree to the pledge of his party platform not to
interfere with the intents and purposes Of Congress,
or will he repudiate that plank and the big
stick?" Is he intending to let Tammany Hall and
other machines and bosses run Congress- through
they will elect along with him Gn event he is elect
ed) or is he intending to mix it with these Demo-
cratic politicians? clear, concise statement to
whether he is to accept or reject the pledges of his
platform would afford much Enlightenment to the
people who are being asked to support Wilson. 1t
would enlighten the bosses if he is to reject this
pledge it would enlighten the people if he is to be
bound by it.

Atlantic Fleet Ready

The entire Atlantic feet, together
with torpedo boat destroyers and tor
pedo boats have been ordered to as

practice in accordance with the program

Officials OF the Navy Department are
unanimous in declaring that the mid

cruising on second-class vessels.
The war maneuvers will end on Aug

THE TELLING "WoRD FROM HOME"

Talk about getting this Government back in the
hands of the people, there certainly can't be much
doubt that it is getting there as fast It knows
how. The excesses of the bosses have started
reaction that is rapidly making every publicst, every
politician, every oficehoder afraid to draw his
breath until he gets some sort of permission from
the constituency.
The bosses arranged carefully to steal nom-
ination at Chicago. Then came the word from
home" from millions of homes; by wire, by Ntter,
by personal call and appeal to delegates; and when
the thing was over it was found that word from
home" had smashed the greatest and most powerful
political party that this country any other has
ever known.
The bosses undertook to grab the Baltimore con-
vention, and again came the word from home" 1t
came in thousands of kilograms, many of them
having hundreds of signatures attached; in letters,
petitions, resolutions in every form that could make
its protest against bossism impressive. And the
bosses failed of their project.
Today, the same thing is going on once more
with regard to the attitudes of Republican Congress
men toward the two nominations that came out of
Chicago; the honest and the dishonest Your Con-
gressmens business in this quadrennal year of
grace is primarily to get himself elected He wants
to hitch his wagon to star, and is tremendously in
earnest about picking not merely star of first
magnitude, but THE star of first magnitude He can't
afford to make mistake He doesn't want to be
hurried He is playing for time for opportunity to
survey the field to learn which way the cat is going
to jump
Meantime, while he watches the cat with refer
ence to her intentions in this regard, he notes that
she is growing up to the proportions of royal
Bengal tiger that threatens to bite him.
For the people at home are pressing for his
answer. They want him to tell them which way HE
is going to jump They have been assured by him,
year after year, that he is something of leader him
SELF Now they want to see him lead. They de-
mand that he line up, declare whether he is going
to be fish or esh and start doing something for the
cause he espouses.
This, gentlemen, is going to be a bad wear for
the dodgers. The man who boldly takes a position
and sticks to it is going at least to save his face
to preserve the respect of his people He NAV get
beaten, but if he does less than that he is still more
likely to meet defeat.
This is year for young men; for men who have
long enough career ahead of them to make il
possible for them to do right even though it involve
temporary reverse. The old man. the man tc
whom one reverse means the end of his political
life is in bad situation
To the young man, who has courage enough tc
deserve we'll of his constituency, there should be
no difficulty deciding which way he will 60 He
will get in line with the vast and growing BODY o
opinion that is urging the newer, the better, the
higher considerations upon him. On that side ht
will have chance to save his career. Elsewhere
there is nothing but ultimate defeat and disaster
| before him.

A good joke is told on an editor
who went out to report a party
at a home recently blessed with a
baby, as follows: He met his
hostess at the door, and after the
salutations, he ask the baby's
health. The lady who was quite
deaf and suffering with the
grippe, thought he was asking
after her cold aud answered that
although she usually had one
every winter, this was really
the worst one she had ever had;
it kept her awake at night good
deal and first confined her to bed.
Then noticing that the news
paper man was getting nervous,
she said that she could tell by his
looks that he was going to have
one just like hers.

The Trustees of the Chhipley
High School held a meeting Tues
day morning and elected the
teachers for the 1928 term of
school.
The principal of the school has
not yet been elected, but will be
in a short time.
The teachers selected are as
follows:
Mrs. w. c. Jockey, 1st Asst.
Miss Nella Wells, 9TH grade.
Miss Annie Judson, 9th grade.
Miss Ethel White, 5th grrde.
Mrs. Collins, 4th grade.
Miss Alma Langston, Sd grade
Miss Anis Horne, I'd grade.
Miss Callie Hentz, primary de-
partment, first division.
Miss Janette Campbell, prima-
~ department, second division.
The Banner is of the opinion
that the teachers thus elected
will, with thoroughly compe-
tent and progressive principal,
be the strongest faculty the Chip
lev High School has ever had,
and we predict a most prosper
Gus school term under their man
agement.
