WHY is it that Mr.. Taft does not make the
W point against Roosevelt that he made no
protest whatever when his Saratoga Conven-
ton endorsed the Taft administration?
That Convention was completely domi-
mated by the ex-President.
1t was held less than two years ago, after
Mr.. Taft had done everything for which
Roosevelt now criticizes him.
The most effective reply that the President
could have made to the Rough-Rider, would
have been a Republication of the platform
adopted by Mr.. Roosevelts own convention.
During the session of the Saratoga Con-
vention, Mr.. Roosevelt took the floor, several
times; but never once did he say word
against President Taft, or in opposition to
the endorsement which was proposed for the
Taft administration.
Suppose the President had stood upon the
dignity of his office; had declined to be
drawn into mud throwing contest; had
remained at his post of duty; had issued,
through the reporters temperate denials of
any false accusations hurled at him by Mr.
Roosevelt; had reminded the country that
Mr.. Roosevelt was estopped from going back
of the date of the Saratoga Convention, and
lad appealed to the people to take care Of his
interests while he, at the White House. took
care of theirs-would the President have been
in as woeful plight as he now is?
Certainly not.
He did the very thing Roosevelt wanted
him to do.
He lost his temper, deserted his post of
duty, adopted billingsgate, INDUCED in furi-
Gus personal abuse, described himself as "a
rat in corner" and as "a man of straw"
He owes it to himself that the whole coun-
try became disguised with him, and lost all
respect for him.
If my memory is not very much at fault,
it was he who first INDUCED in personalities,
and to tell tales out of school.
It was fatally weak in him to denounce
Mr.. Roosevelt for doing the very things that
he, Mr.. Taft, as a member of the Cabinet,
had helped Roosevelt to do, and which Mr..
Taft never discovered to be wrong until Mr..
Roosevelt threw his hat into the ring
It was a stupendous blunder to bring up
the matter of Roosevelts dismissal of the
Brownsville negro troops, who had chosen to
make themselves accessories after the fact, to
the shooting up of that Texas town.
BY doing this, Mr.. Taft nauseated the
white people, without winning the negroes;
even the negroes know Roosevelt acted Upon
Taft's official recommendation.
My opinion is, this pair of Kilkenny cats
will obliterate each other, and that a COM
promise man will be the Republi can candi-

idcnt.

1WSHaae
M ANY of my best friends have thought
AVA that my analysis of Bryan's character
was too severe.
That opinion is rapidly changing. Bryan
is exhibiting himself in so unfavorable a
light that the whole country is compelled to
take notice.
In the West he urged Democrats to join
the Republican party, and vote for La Fol
lette.
In the South, he speaks for Woodrow VIII
son, the New Jersey Governor who obliged
the railroads by vetoing the bill which
abolished grade crossings.
lie speaks for Walso4a although he IS AN
INSTRUCTED CLARKE DELEGATE.
But what could you expect of young man
who coralled an old dotard, named Bennett,
took him into his own home, wrote his will,
made himself the legatee and charged the
dotard $500 for doing SO?
The picture Of Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan fixing
up that old mans will, en- their oacn home,
cutting out the old mans wife and relatives,
is one Of the ugiest IN our political history.
Bryan knew that he was doing wrong, for
he endeavored to hide the bequest in a sealed
letter whose contents were never to become
public.
He was not enough of lawyer to draw up
such peculiar will, and so he lost the Ben
nett estate.
But the doting dotard had already given
Bryan many thousands of dollars in cash,
and Bryan not only pocketed $500 for writ
ing will in his own favor, but claimed and
Got commissions as executor Of the Bennett
estate.
Does not that episode prove Bryan to be
mcrcenary, and devoid of any delicate sense
of hcnorg
Now, let me place before you letter that
Bryan wrote to J. Sterling Morton-a letter
which lays bare Bryan's greed for money,
and his lack of high sense Of duty and
honor:
''Lincoln, Ncb., Jan. II, 1899.
Hon. J. Sterling Morton.
Nebraska City, Neb.
Your kind letter by Mr.. Lease was received
and redelivercd. I think it was we'll received.
The postscript was judicious, [ think.
| am grateful to you for your indorse-
ment Had hesitated to write to you before
because dislike soliciting aid.
| assure you that it is the money that is in
the Office, and not the honor that attracts me.
IF successful in getting it, it will tide me
over my beginning here.
With regards to the ladies,
Yours truly,
w. j. BRYAN"
Afterwards when Bryan prated so much
about placing the man above the dollar, and
pretended to care so little for the dollar Nor
ton became Disguised with Bryans hypoc-
risy, and remarked that Bryan had confessed
that he wanted office for the money there was
in it.
When the report began to circulate briakly,
Bryan's friends were in dismay.
Bryan soothed them, unctously, with assll-

1T Is PENDLETON'S SHOW.

The East Oregonian refuses to be-
lieve that Portland people can be SER
iously considering the idea of trying
to pull off a Roundup show in that
city during the Elks grand lodge. 1t
would be the height of discourtesy to
this city and to our bustling lodge of
Elks that has been planning for
months to go to Portland in a body
and to ride mounted in the great Elks
parade. 1t would also be strictly con-
trary to the liberal attitude taken by
the Portland Commercial Club two
years ago when the subject of having
a Roundup in Portland was broached,
At that time the Commercial club
took the advanced stand that the
Roundup was a Pendleton show and
that our copyright should be religi-
ously respected by other northwest
towns. Later on Spokane took the
same view of the matter.
1t is the belief of this paper that
IL the Roundup directors and the
local lodge of Elks will but call the
attention of the Portland people to
the impropriety of any move to re-
produce the Roundup in Portland
that the scheme will be abandoned
if it has been really considered.

ia the Chicago Medical Recorder, and
there is cat in nearly every house,
hold in the country!
DIR. Osborne says that the cat is re-
sponsible for the sickness and death
of many human beings. She points
out that the cat has adapted itself to
human environment and manner of
living since the dawn of history AMI
is in measure susceptible to the
same diseases as the human race.
To the question, "Is the cat me-
dium through which some diseases
increase their virulence for mankind ?"
Pasteur answers affirmatively as to
rabies. Or. Osler says: 'In order of
decreasing severity of hydrophobia
come the wolf, cat and dog"
Every civilized nation is engaged
today in warfare against the white
plague" Scientists have demonstrate
ed that by taking every precaution
consumption, or tuberculosis can be
eradicated in a comparatively short
time. 1t will distress many to learn
that the cat is subject to tuberculosis
and can convey it to human beings
Another dread disease transmitted
frequently, it is asserted by cats is
diphtheria. An epidemic of diphther-
ian in a hospital in Connecticut was
traced to rats, which became infected
from sewage from a hospital, and
the rats in turn infected the cats
which caught them, and the cats in
fected the people. Epidemics of diph-
iberia in two towns in Traverse
county, Mimi, ragged for two years.
Then a crusade against cats practic-
ally eXterminated them in that Sec
tion, the disease subsided and has not
appeared for several years.
Scarlet fever, whooping cough,
small poX, glanders, anthrax and many
kinds of skin diseases are contracted
by cats and convened by them to hu-
man beings, according to reports of
numerous physicians cited by DR.. Os-
borne She says that the cat is a
scavenger by nature and is apt to
collect all kinds of disease germs in
its roaming through streets, alleys,
cellars and barns, "after which she
comes into the house to be the CEN
ter of the family group"

RUNIBLING.

At the close of the session last
evening it was still an open question
as to what the Coliseum volcano
would finally belch forth. The vot-
ing during the day was again favor
able to Taft and indicated the anti
Roosevelt forces We're holding a solid
line against him. However the final
test had not been reached.
A feature of the convention that is
becoming more and more manifested
Is that-contrary to expectations
the Taft leaders are more united and
are working with a more singleness
of purpose than the Roosevelt men,
They are inspired by but one great
desire and that is to down Roosevelt
To accomplish this one purpose they
are laying personal ambitions aside
and are willing to go to most any
extreme.
On the other hand there are signs
that within the Roosevelt brigade the
personal ambitions of some leaders
have to be reckoned with. The col
onel is not the absolute dictator and
cannot handle his generals and SOL
diers just as he would like. Some OF
the generals are ready to bolt and
follow Roosevelt through thick and
thin. There are others, and consipcu-
Gus among them stands Borah, who
are not so ardent. They want to put
up the hardest fight possible and win
If they can but seem averse to TAX
ing chances with a bolt. Borah pos
sibly remembers the time when Fred
T. Dubois then senator, walked out
Of the republican national convention
in 1896 and with others formed the
silver wing Of the party for that cam
paign.
Hadley too is a coming man ana
has been doing very well in the re-
publican party despite its rotteness.
Just how he stands regarding the
question Of bolt had not been fully
disclosed last evening. The fact of
his boom for vice president how
ever looks like the Taft forces are
trying to hold him in line. No doubt
they would like to have him on the
ticket in the event Taft is renominat-
ed. Then if the colonel bolted he
would be forced to fire upon one OF
his own chieftains. However, the
suspicion that Hadley would go over
10 the enemy under such circum-
stances may be entirely unwarranted.
Unquestionably though, McGovern
listened to the sirens when he ran for
temporary chairman. In making that
race the Wisconsin governor allowed
his own ambition to overcome hi.
loyalty to La Toilette.
Meanwhile the volcano rumbles.

Creamy Sauce.

Work one-fourth cupful of butter
until very creamy and add gradually,
while beating constantly, one cupful
of powdered sugar: then add one
half teaspoonful of vanilla, a few
grains of salt, and one-fourth cup
full of heavy cream, beaten until stiff.
Remember in filling mold for steam
ing never to allow mixture to fill
mold more than two thirds full, for
room must be left to allow for the
rising. Eor snow puffs never let the
mold be more than one-half full.

Canton Pudding.

Cream one-half cupful of butter and
add gradually two tablespoonfuls of
sugar; then add two eggs, well beat
en-, one cupful of milk, two and one
half cupfuls of flour, mixed and sifted
with three teaspoonfuls of baking
powder, one-fourth cupful of Canton
preserved ginger, cut in small pieces,
and one tablespoonful of the ginger
syrup. Turn into well-buttered
mold, adjust buttered cover, place on
trivet in kettle containing boiling wa
ter, cover closely, and let. steam one
and three -fourths hours. Remove
from mold to hot serving dish and
serve with whipped cream sweetened
and favored with some of the ginger
syrup. If you do not own a trivet,
improvise one. The cover of a five
pound lard pail, through which a
dozen or more holes have been punch
ed, answers the purpose.
