New Rules Allowed
New Taft Evidence.

Judge Hundley drove in a snug fit
ting spike when he sprang an affidavit
on alleged boiling delegates. The affi-
davit was by D. c. Hancock, who was
secretary of the boiling convention. 1t
said in part
Had there been no split | would
have remained in the regular conven-
ton and voted to indorse Mr.. Taft and
to support MI Farley"
This man was secretary of their
convention and yet he called our CON
vention regular and declared he would
have remained with the regulars de-
clared Hundley
This was new evidence secured since
the adjournment Of the nationa com
mittee 1t was vindication Of the
fight Of last night. Under the steam
roller rules this could not have. been
introduced. The old rule said that no
evidence received since the adjourn
ment of the national committee could
be introduced. The new rules say
nothing on this point.
There is vindication right there q"
declared Halbert Under the old rule
we could not have introduced that new

for the compromise candidate was Al

three hour conference was held by
Crane and Senator Kenyon, Of Iowa.

This ended early in the day and at that
time Senator Crane stated that the two
had discussed replacing Taft with
Cummins before the convention and
that there was good reason to believe
that the factional controversy would
be settled
great part of the discussion was
given up 10 the platform that Cum

demand a progressive platform con
tanning no planks fsvoring reactionary

Senator Kenyon pleased the Taft
leader when he said that Cummins was
not in favor OF the recall of judges
either in the manner advocated by
Roosevelt or in any other form. He
was. however. said Kenyon. an advo-
cate of the initiative and referendum.

EXACT, EVEN JUSTICE
WHAT THE COUNTRY LOOKS FOR
FROM THE DEMOCRATS.
Work Of Reforming Trusts Must Be
lmpartlally Done and No Spirit Of
Persecution Allowed TO Mar
the Needed Changes.

When congress meets In extra SEES
sion, with Democrats in control Of
both houses. there will be strong
temptation to get even" with a group
Of trusts that have looted consumers
for many years and turned a part of
their plumber over to the Republican
party as campaign contributions.
The temptation is natural and hu-
man; but it must be resisted. Even
trusts must have justice from a Dem
ocratic administration Not more than
justice, for that way lies a crime
against the people; not less than JUS
tice, for that way lies reaction
The sugar trust, owned and con
trolled by friends of Mr.. Roosevelt, is
In many ways the most contempt
BILE organization between the oceans.
1t has robbed consumers by high
prices. 1t robbed the government by
false weights, It has bribed public
servants, corrupted legislation, tried
to control the foreign policy OF the
United States.
Yet even the sugar trust must have
Justice; even, exact Justice. Changes
In the sugar tariff must be made for
the advantage of the American peo-
pie, not for the disadvantage OF the
trust Criminal prosecutions-if pros.
ecutions come-must be made to en-.
force public rights, not In a spirit OF
revenge.
The sugar trust must not be perse
cuted by the Democrats merely be
cause it was given a license to plumber
by Mr.. Roosevelt.
What is true of the sugar trust is
true Of the Perkins harvester trust, OF
the steel trust. They must be pun
ished for their crimes, not for theil
politics. They must be treated will
cold, impartial justice-and there is
nothing on earth of which they are
so much afraid.
Justice viii break the grip of thu
steel trust.
Justice will stop the robberies o
the wooden trust,
Justice will free farmers from thu
greed of the harvester trust.
Justice will do these things in sucl
wise that they never can be undone

TOO MUCH LOW GRADE ROSIN
Industry Has Approximate Value Of
s2o,ooo,ooo - Crude Methods Of
Grading Prove Costly.

In this country there is produced
annually forty million 2SO-pound bar
rels Of rosin, having a value of ap-
proximately S2O,0000OO. For many
years the crude methods Of grading
this product for shipment have lost
the producer millions of dollars The
question today between the producer
and user is one of samples cut in cor
rect size.
Uncle Sam, through his department
of agriculture, has devised a method
which does away with cutting the
sample. He has invented an appa.
ratus which will mold a sample the
exact size, by which the producer
himself can grade the rosin as it is
made at the still, and thus know def
nitely before shipment exactly what
his product will grade.
The simple apparatus which is rec
commended for this work comprises a
small mold made OF two pieces of or.
binary roofing tin. 1t is about one
and a half inches high and exactly
seven-eighths OF an inch wide on the
sides, inside measurement. This Il
the size in which the standard grade
samples should be cut. With the ap
paratus is needed an ordinary tir
dipper, knife and a set of standard
rosin types.
The samples for grading are made
in molds while the rosin is still II
liquid form in the barrels. The typ,
numbers are printed on the tiny blocl
samples to indicate the season il
which it was produced.

TWO MEASURES IN DEMAND
Provision for Income Tax and Direct
Election Of Senators a Duty Laid
on Democratic Party.

Democratic triumph should mean
the prompt success OF two popular
measures-the income-tax amendment
and the direct election OF United
States senators by voters.
Victory for the income tax is almost
won The votes OF only two more
states are needed for ratification. This
is not a partisan political measure.
Within four years It has been advo-
Gated in both party platforms In Mas
sachusetts. Rhode Island and Maine
In Indiana, Kansas, Wisconsin and
Michigan in Utah, Colorado and Cal
ifornia.
Both Democratic and Republican
this amendment is, therefore; yet we
count Democrats its safest friends.
For the Republicans in Massachusetts,
Utah and Rhode Island went back on
their state platform pledges to beat
the amendment, and in Maine and
elsewhere they tried It with less sue
cess. This measure should be ratified
before March T. II in the coming re-
vision of the tariff there should be
some sacrifice OF revenue it should be
no longer possible to raise in defense
Of robbery the old plea that 1t is the
only way 10 keep the government run
ming
The amendment providing for the
direct election of senators is but be-
ginning its scrutiny by the states,
Two Of them only have passed it. 1t
also should be promptly ratified, that
we may have no more of Senator
Wool, Senator Cotton, Senator Glass,
Senator Steel, Senator Coal, Senator
Copper, Senator Railroad and Senator
/ Bank.
These two measures are Of the sort
which will prove that the truest pro
gressivism is True Democracy.

Enforce Antitrust Law.

Governor Wilson's prescription Of
imprisonment for the heads of trusts
is not vindictive or cruel, or even ex-
cessive. The antitrust law was en-
acted twenty-five years ago; 1t has
been enforced over and over again.
BY this time all the trust magnates
must understand what the settled pol
icy of the country is with regard to
all these industrial aggregations that
are suppressing competition just so
far as they are able to. Now it is time
they took notice of this and made
their business methods conform to the
deliberate and matured opinion OF the
country.
