FIFTY DIE IN POISON PLOT
Scores Are Dead and Dying in Berlin
Municipal Shelter House
Mystery.

Berlin-Scores of homeless men
are dead as the result of poison re-
ceived in the municipal shelter house
December 26. Ptomaine poison to
which the deaths were at first at
tributed is doubted and it is believed
that the men were victims of a plot.
Fifteen more of the destitute male
inmates have died, bringing the total
of fatalities up to more than fifty.
Sixty or seventy others are seriously
i'll at hospitals in the city.
The superintendent of the asylum
expresses the opinion, based on one
of the post-mortem examinations that
the deaths have not been due to i'm
pure food, but to deliberate poisoning

OHIO REPUBLICAN INSURGENTS
REJECT RESOLUTION TO IN
DoRsE LA TOILETTE.
DEFEAT OF TAFT IS ASKED
Pinchot and Garfield Speak Against
Endorsement OF Any Candidate
Platform Principles Adopted Fol-
low Those of Chicago Conference.

Columbus, O-The Ohio progress
sive Republican conference here by
a vote of So to 80 refused to indorse
Senator Robert M. La Toilette as a
candidate upon whom the progress
sives could unite for the nomination
for president at the Chicago conVen-
ton.
After refusing the Endorsement of
the league, the delegates voted, 81 TO
II. in favor of resolution, as per-
sonal expression of the delegates,
naming Senator La Toilette as tine
living embodiment OF the principles
of the progressive movement, and the
logical candidate to carry them to
successful fruition."
The vote came after three hours
debate on the floor of the convention.
and was on the adoption of an amend
ment to the report of the resolutions
committee, which had been unani-
mously in favor of not naming can
didate.
Clifford Pinchot. who declared that
he spoke only for himself and in no
way for Theodore Roosevelt, and for
mer Secretary of the Interior Car
field were the leaders in the debate
against giving any candidate an in
dorsement
Senator Works of California and
later Senator Clapp Of Minnesota
were vigorous in urging that the Ohio
progressives concentrate their efforts
in working for the election Of La
Toilette.
The resolution, which was adopted
and which had been submitted to the
resolutions committee by Mr.. Pin
chot, Walter l.. Houser and John D.
Fackler, temporary chairman of the
Ohio organization, read as follows:
We are opposed to the renomina-
ton of President Taft. We hereby
declare it to be the determined pur
pose of the Ohio Progressive Repub-
lican league to work in harmony and
unison to nominate Progressive Re-
publican for president, recognizing as
fellow progressives all who hold the
principles for which we stand, wheth-
er they be for the presidential nomin-
alton of Robert M. La Toilette or
Theodore Roosevelt, or any other Pro
gressive Republican.
We assert the essential unity of the
progressive movement throughout
the entire state and nation.
We favor the election of delegates
who will favor the nomination Of
candidate who will fully represent
the progressive principles.
> A declaration of principles adopted
unanimously was substantially the
one prepared by a committee ap-
pointed at a meeting of progressives
of the western reserve. On the cues
ton of national policies, it followed
the line of the platform adopted by
the progressive conference in Chi
cago.

AMERICAN POTASH FIELDS.

There is nothing incredible in the
fields in the United States-iEdeed it
has been expected by many people
since the necessity of potash as
fertilizer has been harped upon by
agricultural scientists and Germany
uas shown disposition to save her
own potash for her own needs. Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson sayr
that the new fields are lin the west"
which is vague, it is true. but is the
nearest clue he is at present inclined
to vouchsafe. He says that the dis
covery will enable a saving of $12.-
600 900 a year in the single item of
buying potash from Germany, which
will become unnecessary, says the
Milwaukee Wisconsin Further. be
says that the new deposits contain
more than efficiency to supply the
needs of the United States. From an
other source than Secretary Wilson's
interview it is learned that the lands
comprise nearly the whole of Unita
county. in Wyoming. and portions of
Morgan, Rich and Cache counties in
Utah, and of Bear Lake. Bannock.
Bingham and Fremont counties, in
Idaho. making in all about $500 square
miles of territory which is more or
less underlain by phosphate rock.

known phosphate deposit in the world

Renort That Great Britain Has Sent
Note of Protest to Cars

Washington.--Bar Turcoman
troops attached to the Russian
army drove more than 1000 Per-
slams from their homes In fifty VII
lagos and slaughtered them as the
searcblights of Russian Warships un-
covered their hiding places in the
Bandarijaz swamps along the Caspian
sea.
First word of this hitherto sup
pressed and unparalleled atroclty
reached Washington from the central
Persian committee at Constantlnople.
The report is current in diplomatic
circles in Washington that, shocked
by the barbaric cruelties OF her ally,
Great Britain has sent note OF pro-
test and disapproval to ST. Petersburg.
1t was explained that, although this
butchery was the first to mark the
CORY trail of Russia into Persia. S.
complete was the censorship OF the
car that until now no werd of 1t mas

lea.
Bandarijaz is small seaport town
in the province of MaZinderan, in the
northwest corner of Persia. To the
east and southeast were between 81
and 60 small villages, now villages no
more
On tho northern side of the interna-
tional border 1000 Turcomans, even
more barbarous and undlsciplined
than Cossacks, had been concentrated
by the Russian authorities.
Without provocation or warning,
these assassins were unleashed upor

ON the JUMP AGAIN.

President Taft is of again on a
tour of the country. He IS going into
ais own state this time, and will 30
the best he knows how to rally his

by politicians as one Of great impor-

Whether or not Mr. Taft will bene-

matter. In the matter of travel Mr..
Taft is very strong, that being the
one form of activity in which he en-
cages without urging, but his tours
have not contributed, as a rule, to the
advancement of his political fortunes.
Many people think Mr.. Taft would
play stronger hand if he remained
at he seat of government, pressed
useful reforms demanded by the peo-
pie, kept a firm hand on the political
situation and held his enemies to their
lines. There is strong demand from
his supporters that he organize his

are protesting loyalty with their
mouths and keeping their hands con

WISE PRESIDENT MADERo.

President Madero of Mexico, is
wise in his day and generation. He
recognized the fact that the execution
of General Bernardo Reyes would re-
suit in an outburst of Indignation
that would not tend to promote recon-
ciliation between the disturbed fac
tions Of the republic or bring about
peace throughout the country And
yet Reyes must be punished in some
way for his assault on the govern
ment. So Madero has decreed that
the chief of the recent rebellion is to
serve term in prison, of indeterml-
nate length, the intention evidently
being to pardon him wheneyer ito is
deemed that he has done sufficDehC
penanee to satisfy the outraged pabI1e
conscience.
BY this method Madero will gain
a reputation as humane executive
and will be enabled to so work thihgs
that Reyes will emerge from brief
Incarceration as stanch ally of the
government.
All of which demonstrates that the
president OF Mexico is not lacking in
the qualifications Of the successful
politician.

THE OLD DEMOCRATIC IDEALS.

In this day of so-called reform and
advanced ideas" OF government one
hears much talk of the effect that
the progressive age" is so different,
SO East, SO complicated, so great, that
the work OF the fathers who con-
Oeived our form OF government and
saw II well established among the
governments of the world, was good
bat that their ideas are not ftted to
the issues of today. When a demo-
crat who cherishes the ideals OF the
fathers" plead for the faith of yes
terdAy and prays for the maintenance
of our institution. he ls told by your
genuine progressive that the tonic
which we used for the struggling
babe is not good for a stalwart> though
ailing giant now grown. They say,
for instance, that representative gov
ernment was success in other days
and the only Kind a green, awkward
nation could AFFORD to risk. but that
We are advanced well enough now
to Try out direct democracy and ap-
ply It to all officials from the presi-
dent down to constable.

protests TO make except in rare in
stances. The creed of your so-called
free thinker would make it easy for
the average man to have few regrets
and more time for making money
and getting divcres. Such creed
is but the companion piece of eonN en-
ience.
1t.c. III there IS o4t one. re-
l.gion, and one brand of democracy,
In The Ten Commandments all was
said, and in democracy's was said
when Jefferson declared for equal
rights for all, special privileges for
none" and observed that the country
which is governed the least is gov
erned the best"
We know that the old time religion
and democracy we have tried are
sound, for they have answered the
purposes for which they were intend
ed.
Speaking specifically of the old
ideals in government, there is one
fact which seems to have been ig-
nored by those who cry for a new
system: A rich, powerful government
that gives freedom and opportunity
full play such as ours is, is the re-
suit of the system, which the pro-
gressives would supplant with untried
theories.
We are asked to give up that
which we know is good for something
of whose merits we know not save
what the dreamers promise us.
