by numerous applications for federal
charters for banks of $4,000 capital to be
organized in certain sections of great

national banks in cities of $1,000 must
have at least $4,000 capital Several
such applications have been received from
Chicago, notably for the organization of

held to create much more than merely a

of these cases the Taft delegates repre-
sent absolutely nothing but fraud as vul-

Will Charge Defeat to Fraud.

Mr.. Taft cannot be nominated unless
he gets an overwhelming majority of the
rotton borough states which never cast a
republican electoral vote, and in which
the delegations represent only the office
holders. Even if he gets practically all
the delegates from these states he cannot
be nominated unless, by deliberate fraud

Facing a Desperate Situation.

Facing a Desperate Situation.
1t is desperate situation with the
Roosevelt men now, and they are seeking
TO win in other directions what they are
being denied in the contests before the
national committee. The effect upon the
Roosevelt cause of yesterdays decision in
the Indiana cases is admitted to be DAM
aging for the reason that the outcome In
those cases undermined confidence In all
the other Roosevelt contests
The conviction has been growing upon
the national committee from the first that
the contests are flimsy in the main, ano
that most of them should not nave oeen
brought The committee feels 1t should
have been spared the arduous task OF SIT
ting for two weeks through arguments
that have no foundation in fact.
That the colonel. as | have lntlmateo
before must have been mlslnformed
about many of these contests seems clear
in view of his strenuous insistence tnat
these very Indiana contests, when every
one of his men on the committee voted
against were thrown out UNANIMOUSLY.

nothing is heard of platforms or policies

Majority for Home Rule

The Irish home rule bill passed it's first reading by a vote of 360 to 266. This was practically the full vote of the liberal majority. True in Decem- bcr, 1910, the party showed ma jority of 124, but bye-elections had reduced that majority, and a majority of 94 is about as large as the liberals can now cast.
 Gladstone tried, first in 1886, and again in 1893, to pass home rule bills. His first effort was defeated by a de- lection in his own party in the house of commons, and his second effort went to defeat in the house of lords.
 The peers have at length been rem dered powerless. The present bill is, too, cautious tentative measure, and the Irish people must prove them selves worthy of self government in home affairs in order to secure it's full benefits.
 The unionist leader, Andrew Bonar Law, says the present bill cannot be passed without appealing to the peo- pie. The premier does not antici- pate an appeal to the people. If he can hold his forces together two years the bill will be passed, and the Irish people will win what they have long

 9 His ability is unquestionably great. and growing.
 B. His capacity for leadership has not been equaled, since the time of Henry Clay
 f. His steadiness of purpose, his self control and his preserving industry have inspired his own party, and carried con- sternation into that of the enemy. 5. Special privilege and official graft hate him and dread him as they do no no other man.
 G. He sticks to his post of duty, while Taf. and Wilson and LaFollette are de- serting theirs.
 '. He passed through both honses tariff bills which would have lowered the prices of manufactured goods, thus enabling the people to buy more. This would have increased the business of every merchant. If the people did not have to pay such high prices. they would have more money to spend in other directions. They could afford to be more liberal with the preacher with charitable work, etc s.

MAJ. ARCHIBALD W. BUTT

From the Savannah Press.
 It is probably too true that Mai Archi- bald W. Butt was lost by the sinking of berg Sunday nght.
 From day to day the list of the sur sivors as they were flashed from she death hole off the Grand Banks has secn eagerly scanned not only by the presi- cent in the White House. but by the army comrades of Major Butt, his news paper friends, his schoolmates in Angus ia and his acquaintances all over me country.
 For no man had more friends. From the time that he grew up in Augusta, when he was educated at Sewanee, Tenn from the day he went to Washington as cor responde,at of southern papers-the Sa- Sannah Press among them-to the time when he enlisted in the army during the Sponish- Amer ican war and distinguished himself in the Philippines, Archie Butt had leen an active, conspicuous figure He was genial, popular, manly man. full of courage and rehpement. tender and true. He was a model son, a noble brother. q faithful friend During two administrations he had filled the position of military aide at the White House and had accompanied President Roosevelt and President Taft in their various trips throughout the country. Just before Roosevelt sailed for Africa it was Archie Butt who was dispatched from the new President bearing an autograph letter of f a White House. About two years ago Major
