Merchants who send out of town
for a dollars worth of printing do
more to rob the town of that which
is due it than the man who sends to
Chicago for two dollars worth of
dry goods. Ninety per cent of the
cost of a job of printing is for
labor. Ninety per cent of the wages
paid the printer is spent in his home
town. Thus practically every cen
paid to local printers is distributed
right here at home. When a man
sends to Chicago for household goods
he robs the local merchant of his
commission and that commission is
merely the profits on the goods which
may be ten, twenty, Or thirty pei
cent, the balance Of each dollar go
ing to the jobber in the east.

ARE COWARDLY

Des Moines, Aug. 27.-"Government
by cowardice has become obnoxious ca
the people" Aron S. Watkins candl-
date for vice president on the prohibi-
ton ticket, told an audience at tha
Iowa state fair.
"we have just witnessed the appal-
ling spectacle of three parties in con-
vention assembled and so absolutely
afraid of the liquor power that they
dare not discuss the issue N the open
convention" he continued. I'm spitG
of the fact that 100000 people haVs
in one way or another expressed their
approval of prohibition, YOU would not
have learned from any action or word
spoken at the democratic convention
or the republican convention that such
an issue existed.
"And when Theodore Roosevelt. sup
Josedly afraid of no man and no lion
on earth, invited questions from his
hearers in Chicago and one man took
him at his word and called What
about the liquor traffic?' he replied,
'Oh, go to a primary school, He was
afraid TO discuss that issue, afraid TO
saw whether he favored the protection
of the home against the saloon, even
afraid to say whether or not the local
laws of the people should be respected

New York, Aug. 27.--John e. Nc
Intyre, counsel for police Lieutenant

Milwaukee, Aug. 27.--Whether ne
gro lawyers hereafter are TO be ad-
rnitted as members, was the chief
subiect before the American Bar
association which opened its thirty
fifth annual meeting here today.
The question arose in the special
report of the executive committee de-
claring that although 1t had been the
settled practice to elect only white
men as members" three negro mem
bers, including William "a Lewis, an
assistant to the United States attorn-
ev general, had been seated by the
committee in ignorance of their race.
The committee therefore reseinded Its
own action and allowing the men TO
y.er1sin qualified as nominees for
membership, asked the entire associa :
ton to vote on the question.
Wickersham announced he Would
make a strenuous flght against any
ATTEMPT to unseat Lewis and the other
negro lawyers, declaring the commit
tee had no power after once seating
fbe men to take away their member
shin because of race distinction as
that question was not involved but he
would maintain that the executive
committee, headed by national Of
ficers, once having admitted the ell
gfbility of the men had no right to
oust them without bringing charges.
Friends of Lewis assert he became a
member through an invitation sent
from the association.
Many southern members, including
Ernest T. Florence and Edgar HI. Far
rar of New Orleans, and George
Whitelock and John Hinkley, of Bal
tirnore declared their support of the
committees action was based solely
on the desire not to set precedent
for the admission of negro lawyers
generally, as prior to 1911, when But
Ter r. Wilson, of Boston and Williams
Morris. of Minneapolis, the other ne
gro members whose seats are con-
tested by the committee, membership
was composed of white lawyers only,
opposition to the recall of judges
and to any legislation which will af-
feet the present tenure OF judges
offices is expressed in special report
which has been prepared for presen-
tation to the association. Frank r
Kelfog, of ST. Paul, chairman of COM
mittee which prepared the report said
investigation showed "almost every
reputable attorney in the country OPP
posed to the recall of judges"
Seneca M. Taylor, of st. Louis
brought from the national assembly
of commissioners of uniform laws, q
model bill to be offered for adoption
by various state legislatures which
will prohibit the marriage in the

been prohibited from marrying in any

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 2T.--(Spe ecial l--
Is it possible to gain a senatorship
in the state Of Pennsylvania by the use
of methods that are strictly clean? Ac-
cording to Alexander p. Moore and
William Finn, progressive leaders OF
Pittsburg, neither Boise Penrose nor
Philander c. Knox nor Senator George
+. Oliver gained his seat in the up
per branch of congress in a fashion
that would be approved by any up
to- date school Of ethics.
The Standard Oil company and 9TH
er great protected interests, 1t is
charged, have had much more to say
in the naming of senators from the
keystone state than the people them
selves
1t was suggested to Finn that
he go before the senate committee at
Washington and tell what he knew
concerning political corruption.
Sure. I'll CO., he said. But when
appear want to be with Senator OIL
yer, Senator Penrose and others who
know som thing about campaign dele
cations In pennsylvania.
1T wolfld be enlightening to hear
! what they might tell regarding cam
paign assessments on the liquor
people and other corporations in this
state in other years. The things have
not been told, but they ought to be
given to the public. If the truth were
! told it would be interesting reading
and something over which the people
might reflect."

PRIMARIES
Little Excitement Outside City
Of Detroit

Detroit. Aug 27.-with the excep-
tion of hot fights for municipal of
fices in Detroit, the statewide prf-
maries in Michigan today promise lit
tie excitement. The voters this morn
ing began balloting for candidates for
national, state, county and city offices
and as the polls in some places do not
close till late tonight, significant re-
turns are not expected before Wednes-
day morning.
William Alden Smith has no opposi-
tion for denomination for United States
senator on the republican ticket, but
the progressives have Theodore M
Joslyn, mayor of Adrian, in the field
while the democrats have Lucking of
Detroit and George Hummer, fighting
for the right to bear their partys
standard. There are no party candi-
dates for congressman at large.
The only contest for governor is be-
tween Secretary of State Fred c. Mar
tindade and Amos Musselman of Grand
Rapids, republicans. The democratic
candidate is Woodbridge N. Ferris OF
Big Rapids, and the progressive noni-
nee will be Whitney Watkins of Jack

the more important are those OF judge

Over sixty appointments Of postmast-
ers were left unconfirmed, among them
being that of Robert II. Todd to sue
ceed Walker X. Lands, who was re-
moved as postmaster at San Juan,
Porto Rico.
OF the judicial nominations not act
ed upon, that of Richard K. Sloan, to
be district judge of Arizona was vigor-
ously opposed by the Arizona senators,
Many weary hours were spent by the
senate in executive session hearing ar
guments in opposition to Judge Sloan.
Another more recent nomination for
a judgeship was that Of Clinton w.
Howard. to be United States judge Tor
the western district of Washington, TO
succeed Judge Hanford who resigned
uul lliB OH lllNtSNAbeAliOAA ny NtAO ASN2N
judiciary committee as to his alleged
misbehavior fin Office. Senator Poln
dexter, of Washington was strongly
opposed to Judge Howard, and no
effort was made to confirm him. The

he had been engaged in politics in the
interest of the president in Chicago IN
1908.
