Why He Didn't Hear.
''It must be that while this matter
was being urged by the Roosevelt con-
testants before the committee that, al
though the gentleman from Missouri
was on the front seat, he was not
listening. Possibly, Boss Barnes, who
was also on the front seat may have

the ribs, thus distracting his attention"
Answering the charge of Mr.. Mondell
county had been soap box affairs"
Congressman Warburton said:
The primary In King county was
called and held exactly as primaries
were called and held In everE. other
gates to the State convention. So, IL
the Roosevelt delegates from King
county were to be unseated because
they were elected at soap box pri.
mary every county but one that sent
Taft delegates to the State convention
and who were given seats by the State
committee and the Taft convention
should have been deprived Of them,
The Washington Progressive said he
agreed that "soap-box primaries" are
not desirable If there is a law provid-
ing for a primary. But, he added,
"they the immeasurably better than
permitting twelve men to meet secretly
and usurp the rights Of over 10000 Vot'
ers."
Mr., Warburton outlined the manner
In which the Taft men grabbed control
of the State convention, denying ad-
mission to the Roosevelt delegates.

La Toilette HITS
ALL CANDIDATES
FOR PRESIDENCY
Taft, Wilson, and Roosevelt
Scored BY Senator In
Weekly Editorial.

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 16.--President
Taft's keynote for the campaign will!
satisfy the conservatives; Governor Wit
sons must be considered significant in
connection with his record as a State
executive, and Colonel Roosevelt's, Is
just Roosevelt" according to the
view editorially expressed by Senator
La Toilette In the current number OF
his magazine today.
Taft's acceptance speech, the editorial
declares, Is a direct appeal to the con-
servatives, and the President does not
recognize that the peoples movement
legislation will aid In making the Gov
ernment more responsive to the will
Of the majority. La Toilette pointed
out that TAFT claims credit fol good
1910 which were amendments forced
by progressive Senators on the very
bad Administration bill"
Governor. Wilson'S speech. the edi-
philosophy rather than specific legis
iative and administrative policies"
Restraint and understaternent char
actertze. and in degree weaken his
zine continues. "Therc is, however, no
ambiguity. He frankly announces-and
this doubtless required courage--that he
believes in tariff for revenue"
Criticises Lack of vigor.
La Toilette citicises the Democratic
candidate for lack of vigor in attack
ing the trust problem.
Violent denunciation OF Roosevelt
formed the discussion Of the Progress
sive party's candidate. His "profes-
sion of faith" the editorial declares,
"is neither the one thing nor the other
lit IL Roosevelt"
"He is forcible. definite, and positive
on matters about which there can be
no dispute" the Senator continues He
asserts with the enthusiasm of an orig
lnal discoverer principles advanced by
Republican progressives years ago. His
discussion OF those subjects. as though
they were new issues, is really comic. I"
Roosevelt, 1t Is asserted, does not
dare go to the root of the existing trust
evils for fear of ''forfeiting financial
backing of Perkins and his Steel trust
associates. Mccormick and his friends
of the Harvester trust"
Milestone About Neck.
Summing up. La Toilette declares:
There Is a milestone about Roose-
velt's neck. and that OF itself makes him
impossible as the candidate of a real
progressive moment"
The editorial also assails the colonel
for his silence on the question of rail-.
road overcapitalization, physical val.
uation,- his excuse that the middle
man Is responsible for the high cost OF
living, and his CLOSING over of any
reference to the Money trust

TAFT in HISTORY.

New York World (dem): History
will deal more sympathetically with
Mr. Taft than did the popular majority
at the polls, and its verdict will not be
long delayed. Blameworthy as he has
been in some respects, the fate that
has overtaken him was not deserved.
There will be revision Of the popu-
lar judgment as to him, and it will be
tempered by knowledge and sympa-
thy. Some revenges that appear to be
successful are dearly paid for in time.
AS president Mr.. Taft will leave 4
record of many triumphs and single
conspicuous and fatal blunder. He has
been constitutional magistrate gov
erning by law and not by caprice. He
has given us the greatest supreme
court since the days of Marshall and
Story He was the first president 70
enforce the criminal clauses of the
Sherman law. He has urged the re-
form of judicial procedure He has
powerfully supported the cause of ar
bitration.. He has worked for reci-
procity. He has suppressed iingoism.

laws Of Iowa in regard to the support
of the poor as follows:
Code section 2236-"If a poor per-

the board may pay him such an an
nual allowance as will not exceed the
cost Of maintenance in the ordinary
way. . ..s. H.'f
Section 1137-"If any poor person,
On application to the trustees, is re-
fused the required relief, he may ap-
ply to the board of supervisors, who
upon examination into the matter, may
direct trustees to afford relief, or 1t
may direct specific relief. sid "

and poor person as used in this chap
ter shall be construed to mean those
who have no property, exempt or
otherwise, and are unable, because Of
physical or mental disabilities, to
earn living by labor; but this section

to needy persons who have some

Roosevelt and the South

Springfield, Mass. Republican: What
a complete failure Mr.. Roosevelt has
had in the south, Notwithstanding his
refusal to admit negro delegates from
the Southern states to his national
convention and his avowed purpose to
form a white mans party, is seen in
the election returns. No southern
states has voted for Roosevelt; no
southern state has even wavered. And
the border states, where race feeling
is by no means weak, were more
strongly democratic than before In
twenty years. If Mr.. Roosevelt's new
white mans party has shown some
strength in the popular vote south Of
Mason and Dixon's line, 1t cannot be
said to equal that Of the old populist
party, which was 80 strong in that re-
gion two decades ago and then passed
into oblivion.

He has promoted civil service reform.
He brought about the corporation tax.
He has had regard for economy.
Mr.. Taft's stumbling block has been
the tariff. He signed the Payne-Ald-
rich bill which he should have vetoed,
and he vetoed the non-partisan bills
reducing the cost of living which he
should have signed. No doubt he de-
served punishment for these errors,
but not at the hands of men calling
themselves high tariff republicans;
not at the hands of states like Penn
sylvania; not at the hands Of indus
trial oligarchies like Rhode Island.
Judged either by his virtues or his
mistakes, here Is president who has
met unmerited humiliation. Defeat
was necessary and inevitable, but only
treachery and ingratitude could it be
made so overwhelming as to amount
to stigma. .-.a1
We believe that an informed and
charitable public opinion will present
ly transfer this reproach from the man
to the system. The man will be re-
membered for the good that he has
done. The system. Of which he has
been the most notable victim, will be
destroyed. i.9M
