it, Only Bond Fast Approaching Dlsso-
luton With the Personal Quarrel
Between President TAFT and
2tsf Theodore Roosevelt.

The Republican party Is going to
pieces because the only bond that mas
held 1t together for years past has lost
It's power over the people. That BOND
is the protective tariff.
Republicanism's two great leaders
are now openly at war. They accuse
each other Of many wrongs, but IN
every case the charge has to do with
the tariff or it's benedciaries. Botn
wings Of the party are in full flight
from the organizations tariff and trust
record and the harshest things that
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt can say
Of each other are those that allege IN
due subserviency to the grasping boss
es Of business and politics.
Some such end as this is inevitable
In the case of every political party that
has no aim but plumber. In all Of Re
publicanism's bookkeeping for ~.
years there, has been no entry OF a
moral idea It's sole purpose has been
the enrichment of class at the ex-
pense Of another class. Its sentiments
are all sordid. Its battle cries are all
Of greed.
Mr.. Taft confesses the hopelessness
Of further monopolistic tariffs by de-.
nouncing the present schedules and
their authors and promising relief as
soon as the tariff board shall have COM
pleted It's Investigations. Ne
Mr.. Roosevelt confesses the worth
lessness; of the trust-building tariff for
campaign purposes hereafter, by seek
ing third term on other and very re-
mote issues. There were q few presi-
denotes in the bloody shirt. There
have been several presidencies In the
tariff, but Republicans everywhere
agree that there will be no more.
A party actuated by high ideals
could not possibly develop situation
such as that which has led to the vio-
lent personal quarrel between Mr..
Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt They have
fallen apart because the various bene-
ficiaries OF favoring laws have sepa-
rated into Jealous and warning groups.
some of these gluttonous interests IA
vor one man. Some Of them favor
the other. In the exposures now In
progress we have proof Of guilt on all
sides and revelations of the truth that
cannot fail to startle the country.
The break between Mr.. Taft and Mr.:
Roosevelt is more than rupture be-
tween two men. It signifies that the
two wings of the Republican party are
turning states evidence against each
other. Neither side has any defense
to offer for the party as such. Both
admit every count in the indictment
Of that organization as presented by.

it is not worth saving. The present
Republican watchword is Every man

An occasional IS below zero ruled

It kept out the immense Mediterran-

Central America, and therefore the pop.

Some Facts About Sleep

AS a rule, the larger the brain the
more sleep 1t requires. Webster went
to bed at nine o'clock and rose at
five. General Grant used to say, dur
ing his campaigns, Il can do moth
ing without nine hours Sleep"
A curious trait has marked men of
large brain-that of sleeping at will.
Bonaparte used to throw himself on
the ground and 60 to sleep within
a space of two minutes. Pitt was a
sound sleeper, and slept night after
night in the house of commons while
his colleagues watched the debate
and reused him when it was neces-
sary that he should speak.

was small frame building; it stood
directly on the street, with 4 narrow
porch across the front, and shed
addition at the back. The judge scut-
tied over to it.. The judges pulse
quickened. What location, and
what a fortunate chance that Mr:Nor-
ton was the owner OF this most des1r-
able tenement! He must see him at

the street and learn from Mr.. Pegloe
by what road Thicket Point might be
reached. Norton himself galloped into

Judge, he reined in his horse and
swung himself from the saddle.

REPUBLICAN PARTY IN PANIC
True Reason for Support Which Ex-
President Roosevelt Is Receiving
In Many States.

Colonel Roosevelt's managers have
a strange misconception Of the reasons
why the Republicans of certain states
rush to the support of the ex-president.
They think the movement shows SUI
preme confidence in his election II
nominated, but we cannot agree with
them.
The fact Is that the Republican party
is in panic. 1t is running from itself,
from its record and from it's leaders.
It is crazy with fear. It dare not make
a stand on anything that it has said
or done for 20 years past.
Mr.. Taft is in disfayor because, as
the responsible leader Of the organnizasr-i
ton, he is forced to defend It's per-
formances Mr.. Roosevelt is favored
because at a time Of rout and disas-
ter he appears with a lot of novel rem
edies for situation that all CONCERN
ed, If in normal state of mind would
know is hopeless. Both are prophets
OF despair. One is courageous and con,
sistent. The other is timid and shtfty.
Viewed calmly from the Democratic
position the condition of Republican
ism will be desperate in any event.
Neither Taft nor Roosevelt nor dark
horse has a ghost Of show. The,
party is in fragments. The two archt-
tects Of its ruin are fighting over the
remains. AS in every other stampede
some people stand by the man who
sticks to his post and others rush of
madly under the leadership of man
who holds out a fantastic hope of bet
| terment.
It will not be possible to bring these
elements together again. They have
lost faith in each other and in them
selves. They do not expect to elect
a president this year. They are run
ming only with the idea that they may
escape the judgment. ~
