PRESIDENT REPLIES
TO COL. ROOSEVELT

Bitter Speech
SAYS COLONEL IS INSINCERE
Refers to Great Dangers to People
Of Third Term

President Taft made his answer
in Springfield, Mass. last Thurs
day to the criticism that Colonel
Roosevelt has made Of him and his
administration.
In speech that bristled with in
digation. in which he named Colonel
Roosevelt over and over again, Mr..
Taft told a crowd that filed Spring
fields public square how he be-
lieved Mr.. Roosevelt had not given
him square deal'a and how he bad
'misstated" and distorted" the
facts OF his actions in the White
House.
He replied in some detail TO many
OF the charges that Colonel Roose-
Welt has made against him since the
present campaign began. He took
pains to make plain Mr.. Roosevelt's
knowledge Of and complete agree
meut with many OF the actions and
policies of the present administra-
ton which lately he has condemned
and denounced.
The President declared that after
the Columbus speech of Colonel
Roosevelt he found the country I'M
responsive and he shifted his
method of cam psign from a declara
ton OF principles" aad proposals
OF reform to a series of attacks upon
the administration. Mr.. RooseYelt's
doctrine of the recall OF judges and
the recall OF decisions. his willing
ness TO disregard the wise GUS
tom" that forbids a third term,
whether consecutive or not, his APP
peal 10 class hatred and prejudice"
and his absolute failure" to put
forth any concrete propositions for
true reform and true progress. Mr.
Taft said, all combined to make him
believe that the American people
should not choose Mr.. Roosevelt to
sit again in the White House.
Mr.. Taft began his speech by de-
claring that he spoke plainly only
because he believed it time for him
10 do SO. He brought in Colonel
Roosevelt's name only because
events had forced him to use il.
In 1908 Theodore Roosevelt re.
commended to the people OF the
United States that l, then the sec.
rotary of war, be minated by the
Republican party and be elected.
He labored hard and long to bring
this result about, and he succeed ed

this campaign to begin, l let the
people know that l would like t.
have MY administration approved
by their giving me another term
At that time Theodore Roosevelt
said he was not a candidate and tina
it would be q calamity if he wer,
nominated. Since then he ha.
changed his mind"
SO far, said he, "as personal am

Democratic victory this year, if the right man is chosen at Baltimore State selections or endorsements are not generally favored throughout the country and in all lilllihood the dele gation from Arkansas will go there free to select the best man, whether :r be Harmon, Wilson, Clark or Under wood or some dark horse.' In Ar kansas Harmon is exceedingly popu lar, while Clark, Wilson and Under- wood all have a good following of ad- mirers. But the county conventions should leave it to their respective del tgations to decide who might be the Test man to endorse, or to vote fer an uninstructed delegation to the ma tional convention.

LOOKS so NATURAL.

The late Senator R. l.. Taylor ill one of his lectures few years ago sad: "In this life we pass through all the shifting scenes of humor and pathos' of comedy and tragedy, rom uhe laughing and dancing morning or youth into the shadowy evening ot old age. The world applauds us II we triumph; it despises us If we fali' Too often it gives the mead of praise to it's benefactors only when they are under the sod. What strange ana cruel philosophy. What do words or praise avail to lift the shadows Of our path 10 longer pressed by our weary feet? What are songs worth to breasts that lie still ill the songless dust? Why fill the hands of the dead with flowers which we have withheld from the living, and then With tears bend over the pallid face and whine che looks so natural" If you love 10 give, give to the living, fl you nave blessings to bestow, bestow them upon the living. None but God can bless the dead. Who would not rather have one smile today than to know that million roses would be theaped on hls coffin should he die tomorrow! Who would not rather rejoice among the flowers of love while he lives than 10 eleep beneath the wilderness of flow CTS? God speed the day when the enirit lietht of the mgrning all nations shall burst into song and laughter.

WANT APPROPRIATION
FOR SOLDIERS HOME
Spanish War Veterans De-
nounce Congress for Its
Failure to Act.

Denunciation of the House of Repre-
sentatives for its failure to act favorably
on an appropriation sufficient to prop
erly maintain the Volunteer Home for
Ex-Soldiers Of the Civil and Spanish
Wars was voiced by members of the
United Spanish War Veterans last night
at the bi-monthly meeting of Gen. Nelson
A. Miles Camp, No. 1, at Flynn's Hall,
Sth and K streets northwest.
1T is a shame" said one former SOL
der, that when it comes to appropriate
ing few dollars for the benefit of the
men who served the country hoforably
certain members Of Congress are ever
ready to oppose such measures. We
should watch carefully such matters, and
whenever confronted with opposition to
the soldiers and their dependents use
our influence, both local and national, to
convince our lawmakers that the debt of
gratitude due the men 1hO fought under
old Glory should not be forgotten"
The management of the Soldiers and
Sailors Volunteer Home of this city was
highly commended and in the good Of
the order exercises addresses were made
by Past camp Officers Mawson, Wood
