Violating the Eighth Commandment

That which Mr.. Roosevelt proposes
to make a feature in his campaign
calls to mind a jingle 1 learned from
my mother at a time when she tried to
impress on my youthful mind those
simple, wholesome truths that gentle
mothers try to fix in the minds Of their
children as guiding stars of conduct
thru life:
1T is sin to steal a pin.
1t is a greater to steal tater."
That was when all the world looked
fair and no one was vile. Fifty-odd
years have made change. 1t is still
a sin to steal pin, but to steal po-
tato, especially if it is prize potato,
on this point sentiment is not unani-
nous. There is no question but it is
a sin, if man is hungry, to steal a
loaf Of bread. At least it is violation
of law for which punishment is swift
and sure. But to steal railroad, fitch
from the public by Misrepresentation,
and combination, that's business, and

Progressive Republican Convention On
August 5

The Roosevelt supporters will hold
their convention in Chicago Monday,
August S. The call is signed by rep
resentatives from forty states, and by
prominent democrats from three states,
Colorado, Georgia and Louisiana. A
son of the great Southern writer, Joel
Chandler Harris, is one of them and
Judge Ben Lindsey, of Colorado, is an
other. The representation will be
based on one delegate for each senator
and representative from every state.
Such convention was simply inev-
liable. There are five million republi-
can votors in the United States with a
burning desire to smash the heads Of
Taft and his supporters with ballots.
There are millions of republican voters
who believe in honesty in politics as
much as in the other relations OF life
who believe that man who is crooked
in his politics will be crooked in other
respects if temptation presents itself.
These voters simply had to have some
one on whom to center their votes and
show their indignation. They could
not swallow Taft and their indignation.

The movement to force by petition
the resignation OF President Taft from
the ticket made at Chicago by the
tainted republican convention may fail
in its purpose but it can not fail to have
a powerful effect. Public opinion is
still one of the most potent factors I'M
der our government. During the great
life insurance scandal Of a few years
ago it sent three presidents to untimely
graves. They simply could not stand
the accusing finger. McCurdy was re-
peatedly asked to resign and indig-
nantly refused. The accusing finger
OF the magazine and newspaper press
kept pointing at him and he finally did
resign, not only resigned but shortly
after took sick and died.

Jim Hill Mustard-A NOxiOus Weed

While we have known for some time,
or rather since the state Legislature
made it a punishable offense to permit
it to grow on ones premises. We did
not know the weed above referred to
by sight until last Wednesday, when
H. x. Featherstone brought stock to
this office, which we shall keep to help
others identify it.
All over the eastern portion of the
state it is quite common and in some
localities it is menace to successful
farming. Indeed, so much so that a
few years ago, in response to urgent
request from the farming communities
the Legislature passed law to prevent
its spread and if possible eradicate it..
1t is a punishable offense to permit it
to 60 to seed on the premises of any
citizen of the state. 1t is thick on
almost every residence street and va
cant lot in the town. This is prob
ably due to the fact that few know the
weed when they see it. Knowing the
evil effect and injury to tillers of the
soil from allowing one fully grown
stalk to go to seed, few people would
allow it to grow on their premises, not
solely because it is made a punishable
offense but from the wholesome mo-
tive Of promoting the public good. To
show how much danger there is in al
lowing it to go to seed, in one large
stock OF Jim Hill Mustard there are
some half million seeds, enough to seed
a quarter section Of land. Come into
The Echo Office and examine a speci-

people have changed their views about

some people have. Such powers as

SLIME OF THE SERPENT
ON CHICAGO CONVENTION
How II Fraudulent Delegates Voted on
their Own Rights to Help Nominate
Taft

Oscar Strauss, former ambassador to
Turkey, will support Colonel Roosevelt
in the new third party movement, ac-
cording to a New York Sun dispatch
from Chicago.
THE upshot Of the Chicago con
vention," Mr.. Straus said, is that the
grand old republican party has fallen
into the hands OF men who have vio-
lated every tradition upon which the
party was founded and have destroyed
the party. Had the great lawyer who
by the aid of the fraudulent votes of
the convention was selected its chair
man regarded his duties as sacred
trust from the party itself and not as
the attorney of a faction, and inter
preted the Crucial question that was
submitted to him at the outset by a
high moral standard, instead of by a
narrow technical legal standard, the
grand old party of Lincoln would have
been saved.
THE decision of Mr.. Root that each
of the 70 fraudulently seated delegates
would have the right to vote upon the
question OF the title of his II col
leagues-in other words, that each Of
such delegates could vote upon all the
rest except himself-was most inge-
NOUS technical decision which killed
the spirit.
Had he decided as the plain die
tates of common sense and common
Justice demanded, that the accused
hould not sit in judgment upon thems-
selves, then the $50 and odd dele
gates whose title to their seats were
undisputed would have been able to
pass upon the title of the 70 alleged
fraudulently delegates instead of hav-
ing II of the 70 fraudulently estab-
lished their fraudulent claim.
This action drew the slime of the
serpent upon every act of the conven-
ton and gave Barnes and his clique,
with the 70 fraudulent votes, absolute
power over the convention, thus de-
feating the overwhelmingly expressed
will of the republican voters in the
primaries. These 70 fraudulent votes
gave Barnes and his clique the major
ity, which majority selected the ma
tional committee which is to continue
through the next four years until the
next national convention, and COM
plete the vicious circle OF fraud, so
that the only way to save the great
principles is by third party.
