A HANDY COMMANDMENT

1t is to be drawn upon the Taft forces like q
sword from it's scabbard and fourished in the

circus act, but there are times wheniit is to be
sheathed, and one of these times is when there
is talk of what the presidential electors are go
ing to do s.. S. -
Senator Dixon, Roosevelts manager, is out
with the declaration that already seyenty-iv
electoral votes have been pledged for Roosevelt
regardless Of the wishes Of the states they rep.

OF course this isn't stealing; no, indeed. The
eghtl commandment is not being violated oh no,
indeed. aJSGgJss IA ~ Il.
The unvarnished truth is that no elector in
the history Of the United States has betrayed the
wish of those whom he represented. The unpf
namented truths that without any legal ne
stric6es puhlie opinion has been SO binding that
NO dlecto has dared to defy it by going contrary
to the expressed desire Of those whosvoted for
him. KsskSaTs Sse1N
Dixons audacity is also the an1acity Of
Roosevelt. Dixon's boast that he has pledged
Republican electors to |betray their trust is the
boast Of the rough-riding colonel Rooseyelt's
supporters threw fits all over Chicago at the
mere mention Of seating Taft delegates; and,
after throwing fits, they declared righteously
that Roosevelt would not accept the nomination
with stolen votes. Roosevelt supporters came
back to Hawaii with the statement that the
colonel could have won the nomination by tax
ing tainted votes, but he would not do it.
Where are those qualms of conscience now,
when Il IS matter of pledging for Roosevelt

Where are those pious paroxysns IS

The amended Congressional Act Of
March 26, 1910. provides for the deppr
tation of any alien who may be proved
to be interested in any manner in pros
titution. This Federal statute Is broad
and thorough and permits the deporta
ton of all such characters. Aliens not
resident within the Territory more
than two, or three years may be de-
ported for criminal acts or vagraney,
provided It can be shown their crime
or condition arises from causes orig
mating prior to their arrival here. In
the case, above mentioned. the legal
authorities, it is stated, hold that the
guilty person can not be deported.--
