But, as said before, that was before
the days of Theodore. It's a tame
newspaper nowadays that does not
carry the word Liar" in thirty six
point in two or three first page heads.
The colonel has used the term so ire
ouently it has become almost a house
hold word.
During the 1904 campaign Judge
Parker, who was then Roosevelt 9
opponent, charged that the Standard
Oil company was contributing heavily
to the colonel's campaign. Roose-
welt retorted with liar and won ap'
plause. 1t now develops from the tes-
timony of Senator Penrose, who sole
tied the contribution, and John u.
Archbold, the Standard OIL official,
who gave the money, that such con-
tribution was made. What Is the re-
suit? Why, Col Roosevelt merely
adds two more liars to his list. Parker
the man whose defeat was aided by
the contribution, is not the only liar.
Penrose, the man who solicited the
money and Archbold, the man who
paid it out in currency are liars, too
The Dubuque Telegraph Herald reca!ls
some other instances IN which the
colonel made use Of his favorite
epithet. 1t says:
Mr.. Roosevelt never has refrained
from hurting the epithet "liar" at any
one who put out statement embar.
raising to him or seeming to compro-
mise him. Hartman, (whom he does
not deny summoning to the white
house,, declared that Roosevelt sole,
tied him to raise $260,00O fund IN
Wall street, and Roosevelt called
Hartman liar. Odell, of New York
who last week confirmed Hartman,
is a liar. Now Penrose is lar
Ex-senator Chandler was liar. MT
and Mrs. Bellamy Storer were liars
The girl riding horseback, who failed
to turn out for him, lied when she
said he dashed her horse with the
whip. Judge Parker was a liar. Wal
lace was liar.
Roosevelt alone is honest. he alone
tells the truth. He and Moses alone
are moral He and the Lord are try
ing to save the world.
When they get out the new editions
of the dictionaries it may be neces
sary to give an added word or two in
defining the word Webster's now
gives It this way: LARA person
who knowingly utters falsehood; one
who lies" It may be necessary to
add anyone who disagrees with T.

PRESS COMMENT.
THE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE

Harper's Weekly: William H. Taft
takes his stand squarely as the con-
sentative candidate for president OF
the United States. AS such, he seeks
the support Of thoughtful, prudent,
citizens Of all parties, saying:
'T know that in this wide country
there are many who call themselves
democrats who view, with the same
aversion that we republicans do, the
radical propositions Of change in our
form of government that are reckless
ly advanced to satisfy what is cup
posed to be popular clamor. They are
men who revere the constitution and
the institutions Of their government
with all the love and respect that we
could possibly have-men who depre.
cate disturbance in business condi.
tions and are yearning for that quiet
from demagogic agitation which is
essential to the enjoyment by the
whole people of the great prosperity
which the good crops and the present
conditions ought to bring to us. To
them appeal
This is honest and bold. Mr.. Taft's
idle partisan boasting, his portentous
prognostication of Economic revolu.
lions" and business depression in
the event of republican defeat. his
futile attempts to place Wilson in the
same category with Roosevelt, his
labored tariff expositions-all these
may be ignored.
The one overshadowing fact is that
Mr.. Taft draws the line between the
two traditional political trends az
sharply as 1t is drawn between British

The COMMERCE COURT SAVED

cav his second veto of the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial Dill, the
chicago B Record-Herald says, the
nresident knocked out the commerce
court rider and so saved the court
from Immediate destruction. 1851.
"There are differences Of opinion as
n the value of the court, but among
the newspapers, at least, there Is q
notahla agreement that the method
employed for getting rid OF 1t was inde-
fensibie. Democratic, republican and
progressive papers are IN harmony on
the subject. It is pointed out that the
method is dishonest because the at
tempt is made to carry the riders
through not on their own merits put
on the merits Of the bill to which they
are attached There is IN effect an
ultimatum that the questionable must
be accepted with the wholly unobjec-
tionable. an effort to accomplish In In
direct ways what should be done. II II
Il to be done at all, In a straight
forward manner without confusion.
at ts fact moreover, that the case
against the court Is by no means so
clear as the majority in congress would
have people believe. 1t is said COR the
court that it has greatly expedited final
decision, and that its record as a whole
shows that 1t should have longer
trial. Here was a case, as the New
York Evening Post urges, not FOR
jumping at, conclusions and cutting off
heads with the impatience Of the Queen
in Wonderland, but for considering the
matter in all It's bearings and proceed
Ing in a deliberate and orderly man
ner.'
AThose who have led the fight
against the court declare that they will
return to the charge later, but mean
Wills there will be a better Under
standing Of the merits Of the contro-
versy, and nothing can be lost by the
delay. It is fortunate on all accounts
that the rider, not the court, was
abolished"

a NEW HOUSEHOLD WORD.

In the olden days, that is before
Theodore started running for office
and holding Office, it was Gus
tonary to use little caution
before hurting the charge Of
"liar." Not only were we given to
understand by those who looked after
our moral teaching that it was dis
tinctly improper to pass the lie, but
our bump of caution made us hesitate
before we used such harsh language.

How A Chautauqua Will Come
To Your Town.

A Chautauqua is easily within the
reach of your town. This is the hoO
of il.
The Ohautauqua Association $
function is simply that of co-opera-
ton. 1t has nothing whatever to beg
nor to sell. Incorporated as ''no-
profit corporation" its only necessity
is to pay operating expe nses it is Or
ganized solely for the purpose of MAX
ing Chautauquas possible for the
towns where the plan is offered.
Capitalized at $50, 10000, it has al
ready assumed obligations of more
than double that amount in order to
bring Chautauquas easily within
the reach of many towns. These oh
legations include such items as tents,
which alone cost $7,500.00; seating
equipment; contracts for talent; adj
vertising, etc. All these items of ex.
pense the Association will bear for
your town.
Cooperation is the method where.
by this can be done. Cooperation
enables the Association to bring a
Chautauqua to any community for
abo Mt fifty per cent. of the cost of the
same features If secured by indie
pendent arrangement, and at about
fifty per cent. of what Chautauquas of
equal grade are costing western COM
munities when under independent
management.
This cooperation is offered to se-
lected group of communities of which
your town is one.
Operating i'll such a wholesale way.
1t will be at once apparent that the
movement must be established upon n
solid business basis. or be in constant
danger of disaster. Consequently.
the Association asks for definite CO.
operation from each community, lust
as it in turn, gives guarantee to each
community.
As the program printed in the Chau.
tauqua Courier shows, there are thir-
ty-one events for which season tick
ct Is sold for two dollars.
1t is great program.
