EXCERPTS FROM TAFT's FIGHT
ING SPEECH.


Mr.. Roosevelt ought not to be Sc
lected as candidate OF any party.
He may now be paving the way for
as many terms as his natural life
will permit.
He has willfu1ly misrepresented me
and falsely distorted some OF my
public utterances to win the support
of the people.
He has failed to live up to his pol
icy OF giving everybody a square
deal.
He has violated solemn promise
to the American people not to be a
candidate for third term.
That promise and his treatment OF
it only throw informing light on the
value OF any promise of this kind he
may make In future.
One who sol lightly regards con-
stitutioh hal principles, especially the
independence Of the judiciary, could
not safely be intrusted with success

The champions OF road improve.
ments do not want, and do not de-
mand that any new expense he sad
died onto the government. Their pro
gram is the essence Of simplicity
and reasonableness, for all they ask
Is that the government use money
which is being wasted to give the
nation better highways
Up along the Maine coast there is
a navy yard which cost the govern
ment twelve million dollars. The only
useful purpose 1t ever served was to
create lot Of tat jobs for the politi-
cal friends Of former Senator Hale.
No battleship ever entered this navy
yard for the simple reason that the
Atlantic ocean, at that point, is not
deep enough to float battleship.
The good roads men demand that
instead OF building useless navy
yards tor the POLITICAL benefit OF sen
ators, the money be spent on the
roads, so that the farmer may. more
quickly and easily get his products
to market, and SO that land. now OF
little value because Of poor. roads,
may become valuable and useful
Here are a few Of the A. B. C's the
goods roads proposition:
The cost OF hauling, per ton, over S
miles OF unimproved country roads
is more than the cost, per ton, over
200 miles Of railroad.
A farm Is miles from shipping
station, on unimproyed roads. will
cost more per year than land can be
rented for adjoining the station.
Improved roads, as compared to IN
improved roads, will move the farm
Is miles from a shipping station to
within one half mile OF the station.
II land ten miles from q shipping
station rents for S. an acre, and is
worth 500 an acre, having unim-
proved roads, the same land. with
good roads, will rent for $12 an acre,
and sell for 5000 an acre
These facts apply as general pro
position They are based on averages
compiled from figures gathered by
government experts, and are accu-
rate.
The good roads idea is gradually
becoming Of greater political signifi-
canoe, and therein lies the hope Of
the friends Of the movement, because
whatever action is taken must have
It's source in congress.

THE CHASE HAS CHANGED ENDS.

THE CHASE HAS CHANGED ENDS.
President Taft made whirlwind
campaign through Massachusetts, the
latter part OF last week. He spoke to
great crowds in the principal cities
of the state and his speeches taken
as a whole constitute terrific attack
upon Roosevelt.
The famous lion hunter has at last
reused the Lion in Taft's nature and
the chase has changed ends.
It looks very much as though Taft
will hereafter chase Roosevelt instead
OF Roosevelt chasing Taft.

SENATOR TELLER's PROPHECY.

WEDNESDAY, MAI u -
SENATOR TELLER's PROPHECY.
sixteen years ago Senator Teller,
ct Colorado, said to the writer: =
believe that you will. live to see
predatory wealth striving to- demom-
tie gold and establish a single sill
yer money standard. At that time
the senator's prediction seemed like
3 vagary, but it does not seem 50
improbable at the present time
When the money schemers OF
Europe and America shortened up
the measure Of values, by sdeprivine
81 silver Of its money attribute, they
profited temporarily. Protited mucn
tie same as the rat profits while he
ID eating the bait that 7ure e'il him IN
to the trap.
For short time the single gola
standard vastly increased the value
of gold, because that metal was CIV

This first effect, Of the change 10
the single gold standard was ruin
,ous to debtors and wealth produc-
ers hut the venerable Senator who who
M rr.a.,p,resented state full OF mining mimi
cal, camps foresaw what has happened.
When silver =. mining became unprofit-
able. and gold mining became oouD-
IL ~ prof table, the miners na lt11,s'
turned from the production OF shVe =,
and devoted their energies to the
development Of the gold fields OF the

increased in volume until It has oe-
come cheap, much cheaper than y
was when both gold and silver Were
freely used as money metals 3.
u Az gold depreciates in value the
prices OF commodities rise, and the
change places the interests that
demonetized silver on the scattold
which they built tor the producing ' g
masses. !.
When these interests were shorten
Ing up the nations money supply
they yehemently contended that the
volume OF circulating medium had
no relation to prices. Now they are
bewailing the effects Of q "depreciatr
ing money measure. They say that
the output and supply of gold has
beyond all expectations,
and that the end is not yet; = that
this Increase has caused a general
rise in the average price-level; that
a rising price-level is likely to con- COZ
tinue, and from their standpoint pro
duce all kinds Of calamitous results.
/ Rising prices Will without any
doubt increase the value OF all
tangible property,

Is a correct theory When the guam

OF it to buy a certain quantity OF
tangible property.
The men who were Worshipp1ng
the single gold standard sixteen
years ago are now deploring the
.".ever-increasing volume and ever-de-
preciating value Of gold" They say
it Is a condition which produces un-
rest discomfort. agitation, strikes.

desirable things.
The scarce money fellows have
certainly got into hot box, and arc

New Jersey, with IA electoral VoteS
is almost certain to 60 with New
York. In 1908 Mr.. TAFT had 265. 1926
in New Jersey to Mr.. Bryan's 1872
SGT, a republican plurality OF s2,75s.
Champ Clark would make as sorry
an appeal to the independent vote
OF New Jersey as to that OF New
York ,3I{5
Like New York and New Jersey,
Connecticut has elected a democratic
governor since 1908--and by the
grace Of the independent vote. Mr..
Taft's plurality over Mr.. Bryan in
Connecticut was 44,6eo, and Champ
Clark nomination would give that
state to the republicans too VA II.
New York, New Jersey and Con-
nectfcut have &c Of the Il electoral
votes that must unquestionaibly be
gained in order to elect q democratic
President. Champ Clark can never
get them. To nominate him Is to
give these votes to the republican
candidate, whoever he may be. #
Where, then, are the democratic
votes coming from? Ohio? 1ndii
ana? They have only 80 electoral
votes between them, and Champ
Clark has no especial strength in
either Of these states. He has no
especial strength anywhere, and 1t
would be difficult TOR the democratic
party to name a more vulnerable can
didate.
Mr.. Clark is fine type Of the
old FASHIONED, slang-whanging poll
tician, but the country has outgrown
that type. No personal charm no
personal merit, can overbalance The
partisan detects OF such a candidate.
Would the country intrust the lead
ership in the complex work OF tariff
revision to a man who once proposed
to burn down all the customhouses?
Would it intrust the financial cred
it and honor of the nation to a man
who in another great inancial crisr
is compared President Cleveland to
Benedict Arnold and Judas 1scariot!
Would it intrust the delicate bust
ness OF foreign relations: to the ire
sponsible individual who as Speaker
Of the House OF Representatives help
ed to inflame Canadian sentiment
against reciprocity by suggesting the
annexation of Canada?
The World is not seeking to force
a candidate OF its own upon the DEM
ocratic party 1t Is merely dealing
with the political situation as It
exists. We had hoped that it would
not be necessary to treat Mr.. Clark's
candidacy seriously. That was
compliment we had paid to the In
telligence OF western and southern
democrats, but it was a compliment
which we now find was undeseryed.
The sooner, then, that the plain,
blunt truth is stated in the frankest
possible fashion the better
Champ Clark's nomination would
be democratic suicide!

PROHIBITION
SUFFERS DEFEAT
State Law Cannot Stop In
terstate Shipments of
Liquor.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Prohibitlon-
lists suffered severe defeat today in
"A decision of the supreme court, de-
claring liquor may be shipped from
one state into dry counties Of an
other state though prohibited by laws
OF the dry state.
The case decided today was brought
to test the law. The r. W. Cook
Brewing company of Indiana, sued
the Louisville & Nashville railroad for
refusing TO accept beer for interstate
shipment to "dry" counties In Ken
tucky The railroad pleaded obedl-
ence to Kentucky law against ship
ment of liquor to the "drys" but the
federal court held the railroad could
not refuse such shipments.
BY it's decision today. the supreme
court opens the doors to shippers
selling liquor in "dry" territory. The
lower court held that the Kentucky
law was only effective over shipments
of liquor from within its borders but
couldn't stop interstate shipments.

the Religion of Usefulness was the
subject of the morning sermon dellv-
cred by Rev. c. r. Havighurst at the
Epworth Methodist church, Sunday
morning. The attendance was un-
usually large at this service, and the
sermon was greatly enjoyed.
Rev. Havighurst spoke Of the many
different ways in which religion may
he made usefu land helpful Wealth
is one OF the greatest aids to chris
tianity, II It ls used in the right way.
Many people think that piety belongs
to poverty, and that rich man cam
not be godlyman. This belief Is one
Of tho great hindranccs to christian
progress. Many say Money Is the
root Of all evil"-that is a wrong
version OF the Bible verse, which
reads, "The love OF money is the
root OF all evil"
The reason why so many people
believe that money is a hindrance to
Christian living, Is because II is gain
ed dishonesty In many cases The
right use of money can make II one
of the greatest aids TO christianity.
Another way In which religion can be
made useful Is in speech. Rev. Havg-
hurst related a number Of incidents
to prove that kind words live and
grow in the hearts of those to whom
! they are spoken. Prayer is another
aid TO religion. II is the greatest
weapon given the christian to fight
sin.
But above all, above money, above
speech, above prayer, the greatest fac
tor in the progress Of christianity IL
, christian living. What we are i'm our
every day lives counts more for our
influence on humanity than religion,
which Is like "Suuday-stop" on the
organ OF life Many of us pull out
this stop on SUNDAY and push it in
for the remainder of the week

EyangeIIslIc spIrIl sln AIIyc.

The eYangellstic services which
were closed at Calvary Evangelical
church, one week ago, Sunday have
not been closed in the hearts Of the
congregation members or their pas
tor. In every service, the way Is open
for those who long to turn away from
sin to come and meet Jesus, and the
services are most interesting and help
ful.
At the morning hour, Rev. 10. l..
Weatherwax preached a very forceful
and convincing sermon His theme
was that the highest and most excel
lent OF all knowledge is that men
should know Jesus as a personal Sa-
vior. Friend and Lord. At the even
ing service, the subject was "Do Men
Mock God?' Both services were well
attended

unltcd Brclhrcn Church.

Behold what manner of love the
Father hath bestowed upon us, that
we should be called the children Of
God; and such we are" This verse
found I'm the first book of John and
the third chapter was chosen by Rev
j. w. Miles. Of the United Brethren
church, as the foundation for his SER
mon, which he preached Sunday morn
ing.
In the beginning of his discourse,
Rev. Miles spoke of the kind of love
which Jesus has given us. This was
a love OF unreasonable condesccnslon.
Tho Creator gave his love to the crea-
ture whom lie created in Ills own
likeness. lie made him capable OF
fellowship with Himself. God ga, Q
His love TO man, but our text does
not refer to man as he was created
by God, but as he was marred by
sin. The infinitely holy bestowed His
love upon unholy and sinful men. lie
did not give 1t to only those who
were immeasurably beneath Him,
but to those who were In active re-
bellion against Him. God commend-
eth His love for u.s., in the while we
were yet sinners, Christ dies for u.s.
His love for us Uhen was not one of
complacency, but OF compassion. Not
of admiration, but o. benevolence
and pity. 1t was love seeking not
It's own, but our well-being. Not res
joicing over. the good and beautiful,
but seeking with deepest solicitude
for the salvation of the unworthy
and sinful"
The second step in Rev. Miles SER
mon, was the consideration that thi1
love OF Christ, Is one which eXalts
and dignihes us. "He himself calls
US His children, not because He first
created us, but because He has re-
generated us and created us anew
II we are His children, then we share
in His life. If we are truly His chill.
dren, then we morally resemble Him
A Christian looks like His Master
They are like Him IN their inner life
and they resemble Him I'm their out
ward actions. In both conduct ant
! character, they bear some moral re-
semblance Of Him, because they arr
His children, made such through faith
in His Son.
IN this love, we have that which
inspires its objects with the mos
blessed assurance. called children o
God, and such we are" This love Il
impaired in such manner that We
may know that we are the sons o
God. Now, If we are the children o
God, we should act like we are. W.
should live upright lives. BE kind
| loving, tendorhearted to those II
need. BE honest loving righteous
ness, hating sin. Working for the sal
walton Of the lost. We should no
take the name Of Christian in vain
but we should honor Him who ha
taken up into His family"
