Il feel that the country is in
deed to be congratulated upon the
nomination of Mr.. Taft. l have
known him intim a ely fer many years
and have peculiar feeling for him
because throughout that time we
have worked fer the same objects
with the same purposes and ideals.
| do not believe there can be found
in all the country a man so well fit
ted to be president. He is not only
absolutely fearless, absolutely dis
interested and upright. but has the
wild st quaintar ce wi h the matte S
needs, without ard within. and the
hroadest sympathies with all our
citizens. He would be as emphatic
ally president of the plain people
as Lincoln himself; yet not Lincoln
himself would be freer from the
least taint OF demagogy, the least
tendency to arouse or apeapl to
class hatred of any kind. Written

memory of all we have had the pop

ctT OF HIS own MouTH.

In recent speech to farmers at
the Minnesota state fair, Colonel
Roosevelt said:
The Canadian reciprocity act was
a jug-handled arrangement under
which the farmre had to pay the
freight"
AT Boston last April President
Taft said:
Il consulted him (Mr. Roosevelt)
10 days before l made the agree
ment, explained to him in full it's
probable terms, stated the argu-
ments pro and con. especially the eff
feet of it on agricultural products,
asked him to confer with his col
leagues of the Outlook as to it's wis
dom and public benefit, and let me
know his and their judgement. He
tMr. RoosevelD replied approving
the agreement in the most enthusi-
astic terms and complimenting me
for having brought it forward"
From the Outlook office. IAN 12,
1911, Col. Roosevelwt rote to Pres
ident Taft the following letter,
which has been before published:
Dear Mr.. Pres dent: / at once
took your letter and went over it
with the Outlook editors. 1t seems
to me that what you propose to do
with Canada is admirable from
every standpoint. | firmly believe
in free trade with Canada for both
economic and political reasons. AS
you say, labor cost in the two coun-
tries is substantially the same, so
that you are amply justified by the
platform. Whether Canada will ac-
cept such reciprocity / do not know.
but it is greatly to your credit to
make the effort. 1t may damage the
Republican party for a while, but it
will surely benefit the party in the
end. especially If you tackle wool,
cotton, etc. las you propose"
The letter was signed ever yours"
which adds somewhat to its value
as revealing the instability of Col
Roosevelt
The New York Sun reprints the
letter and asks what escape there
Is from the charge of insincerity
and double dealing. 1t answers it's
own question with the assertion tina
there is no escape.
At Grand Rapids. Feb. 12, 1911,
Col. Roosevelt said:
Here. friedns in Michigan, right
on the Northem frontier, have
the peculiar right to say a word of
congratulation to you and to all of
us upon the likelihood that we
shall soon have closer reciprocal re-
lations, tariff and trade regulations
with the great nation to the north
of u.s.
Then he went to New York and
addressed an audience at Lincoln
Day dinner. congratulating his hear
ers upon "upholding President Taft
in his efforts to secure reciprocity
with Canada"
Now. in September. 1912, we find
Col. Roosevelt harranguing farmers
of New England and the Northwest
upon the righteousness of what
he advocated a short time ago.

CLEARING THE ATMosPHERE.

CLEANING THE AIMOof>HE1tf
The Republican rarty is this
year being tried by fire. Some OF
those who were Republicans last We el
or last month are now Roosevelt
men; next week they may be Demo
Gratis.
And SO it behcoves the Republic
ans to close up the ranks and where
deserters fall cut to bring in new
hlood-men aid women who know
why they stald !; nd where they
stand.
There is TO reason for losing
faith. The Republican party has tri-
umphed over deserters in the past
and will do it gain. The support of
these deserters would have been half
hearted at be st, for it was based en-
tirely upon the theory that they
were entitled to the best offices
i'm the gift of the state.
The atmosphere clears. We know
where we are. Those who are not
with us are against US. And let it
e always bourne in mind that the
rule or ruin policy has never found
faith in the merican people. The
Roosevelt party in this nation. this
these deserters would have been half
purpose in view-not victory for itsel
because it knows that is impossible.
Its real purr ose is the defeat of the

RULING OF SPEAKER CLARK

(By United Press Leased Wfre.)
WARRINGTON, ID. O., Aug. rs.
by grace of ruling made by
Speaker Clark, the house today
passed the wool tariff revision
bill over President Taft's veto
by a vote of 174 to 80. Nineteen
republican insurgents voted with
the democrats.
On the vote as at first announc-
ed by the speaker the democratic
insurgent alliance apparently mad
failed to pass the bill by two
votes. Ten members who had
paired with absentees voted as
present.
Clark ruled that 1t took only
two-thdrds of the members voting
AYE" or mo" to pass the bill ana
ruled that two-thirds had 80 vot-
ed AYE" and that the bill was
passed.
A violent dispute followed, the
republicans bitterly attacking
Clark. On this Underwood MADE
q point or order, thus finally en-
abhng the speaker to declare the
bill passed.

The women were hystericaI and
the way was steep, but at last
they reached the bottom.
Then began the search for the
body. They found II lying In

As the little party gathered
around, the meu barred their
heads. No one spoke. White
haired Tacoma looked soIemniy
down upon them ana saw Carter
cover the body with a blanket as
the others turned away.
Gathering himself into hand,
Carter made a pallet of alpen-
stocks and blankets and he ana
the other men laid the poor broK-
en- body carefully upon this ana
began the long trip TO the rail-

They arrived in Tacoma last
night, sent the last word to the

teacher in the West Seattle
school for two years.
Ambitious to improve herself
for the duties of her profession,
she had spent the summer at the
summer school of the University
of Washington, working for the

Miss Hunt was an active relig-

had also been a member of the

1t was compelling and she
stepped far out from the cliff ana

into the chasm.
They saw her topple from the
ledge, but could not reach her In
time, 1t all came so suddenly.
Fifteen feet below she hung for
a moment on another point that
jutted out into the air.
She lifted her face to them but
did not speak. Only silent ap-
peal came up to them from her
eyes. Then the girl plunged ou.
and down. +
1t was all over. Somewhere
