we Are Republicans

That was a straight forward,
sound and sensible speech that
President Taft made to the mem
bers OF the Maryland Editorial as
ISOLATION last week. There was
clean cut honest politics in it. At
ter saying that any presidential
elector who would sail under false
colors, pretending to be a republi-
can and then training with and sup
porting the boilers, was a dlshon-
est man, and unworthy the conf
dence of honest men, he said:
eve are republicans. T b
means that we believe in certain
principles; that we believe in the
constitution of the United States;
that we believe in maintaining that
constitution; that we believe in
progress along the lines that that
institution indicates. We are pro-
tectionists and we are in favor OF
maintaining the present prosperity
by maintaining a tariff system
which shall preserve business as it
goes on now and shall secure as
high wages as possible to the wage
earners and reasonable profit to
those who invest their capital.
Being party, we are anxious
to have the opinions that our party
represents put into force in the OPP
Grafton of the government. The
only way we can do that is by
electing a congress and a president
who will carry them out. Now,
that means that we have a single
party, and not part of two parties.
To have a man on both sides
of the fight when we are on one
side, is uncomfortable, especially
when he is behind you.
Before the convention it is all
right we should differ as to the
men best qualified to represent us
as republicans in carrying out our
principles of the party. But after
the convention each voters inf1u-
ence should carry its proper and
proportionate weight in the election
of the party's candidates.
There gl eat force in the moral
ring and application of what Pres
ident Taft says.

Senator Cummins of Iowa, the
political topper, who is holding
office because of the support OF the
representatives of republican vot-
ers, has declared himself in favor
OF Roosevelt for president, thus ig-
noring his party and the principles
enunciated in its national platform.
Should he make the discovery that
he has made a mistake, he will no
doubt flop back and assert vele-
mently that he was always a true
republican, and that, politically
speaking, it was his first and only
love.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

The Milwaukee Journal says:
That the people c, the state are
strongly in favor OF the income
tax" The vote cast al the primary
election for Gov. McGovern would
indicate the contrary, that the PEG
pie are strongly opposed to the law,
not so much as to its provisions,
As they are to being taxed to raise
money to be uselessly squandered
by extravaganza, which has char
acterized republican administra
tions in the state since the pro-
gressives got control by deceiving
the people. If the editor OF the
Journal will get out among the
people he will be surprised at the
hostile sentiment prevalent against
the state administration and the
bosses who have run the state for
themselves and not for the people.
The insincerity and political
cowardice of the Bull Moose man
may be CLEANED from the fact that
while speaking in Ohio just before
the recent election in that state,
he never spoke a word in favor of
woman suffrage, but as soon as he

repeated.

The doves had flown away to the

stage began her Indian cradle song
She came, distinctly turning toward
the box party. She had never sung
like this in London before. There was
a freshness In her voice, quality in
her gesture, a pathos and a sweetness
that delighted her audience. They
fairly clamored for her, waved and
called and recalled. Dan stood mo-
tionless, his eyes fastened on her, his
heart rocked by the song He didn't
want anyone to speak to him. He
wished that none of them would
breathe, and nearly as absorbed az
was he, no one did speak.

SYNOPSIS.

Dan Blair, the 22-year-old son of the
hfty-million-dollar copper king of Blair
town, Mont, is a guest at the English
home of Lady Galorey. Dams father had
been courteous TO Lord Galorey during
his visit to the United States and the
courtesy is now being returned to the
young man. The youth has an ideal girl
I'm his mind. He meets Lily, Duchess Of
Breakwater, a beautiful widow, who is
attracted by his immense fortune and
takes liking to her. When Dan was a
boy. a girl sang solo at a church, and
he had never forgotten her. The Ga
loreys, Lily and Dan attend . London
theater where one Lefty Lane Is the star.

her head of yellow hair, real yellow
hair and not a doubt of it. like sun
shine-not the colnr one gets from in
side bottles. Her arms, her hands
flashed with rings, priceless flashes.
and the little spears pricked Dan like
sharp needles.

here, though? Have you bought the
Gaiety theater? I'm the most exclu-

Her accent was English, and even
that put her from him. AS he looked
at her he couldn't understand how he
had ever recognized her. If he had

girl he remembered had both softened
and hardened; the rounded features
were gone, but all the angles were
gone as we'll. Her eyes were as gray
as the seas: she was painted and her
lids were darkened. Seen close, she
was not so divine as on the stage,
but there was still more thrilling
charm about the fact that she was
real.

she directed Higgins. who was getting
her into her bodice. And how do

CHAPTER IV.-Continued.

At the end of the tenor solo
Princess Oltary runs into the pavilion
and there changes her dress and ap-
pears once more to dance before the
Tajah and to prove herself the dancer
he has known and loved in a cafe In
Paris. Lefty Lanes dress in his dance
was the classic ballet dancers, white
rs the leaves of lily. She seemed to
swim and float; actually to be breathed
and eXhaled from out her film gown;
and the only ray of color in her cos
tune was her own golden hair, sur
mounted by small coralcolored cap,
embroidered in pearls. The actress
bowed to the right and left, ran to the
right, ran to left; glanced toward the
Duchess Of Breakwater's box; &C
knowledged the burst of applause; be-
gan to dance and finished her pas seul,
and with folded hands sang her song.
Her beautiful voice came out clear
as crygtal water from crystal rock,
ana her words were Graded like
doves. like boats on the boundless
Eeas.
From India's coral strand. :"
But there was no hymn tune to this
song of Lefty Lanes in "Mandalay!"
TO the boy in the box, however, the
words, the tune, the droning of the
flies on the window pane, the strong
odor of the hymn books and panama
fans, came back, and the clear sun
light Of Montana seemed to steal into
the Gaiety as Lefty Lane sang:
The Duchess of Breakwater clapped
with frank enthusiasm, and said:
She is a perfect wonder, isn't she?
Oh, she is too bewitching!"
And she turned for sympathy to her
friend, who stood behind her, his face
illumined. He was amazed; his blue
eyes ablaze, his head bent forward.
he was staring, staring at the Gaiety
curtain, gone down on the first act.
He laughed softly, and the duchess
heard him say:
Good! Well, l should say she
was! She's a girl from our town."
When the duchess tried to share her
enthusiasm with Dan he had disap-
peared. He left the box and with no
difficulty made his way as far as the
first wing.
Can you get me an enfranceT he
asked a man he had met once at Cn-
dene, and who was evidently an
habitue.
Il dare say. Rippin' show, isn't it?"
Dan put his hands on ducal shout
ders and followed tho nobleman
through the labyrinth of flsea
Which of em do you want e, see,

Dan, without replying, went forward
to a small cluster of lights in one OF
the wings. He went forward intuitive-
ly, and his companion caught his arm:
'Oh, say, for Gods sake, don't go on
like this!"
But without response Dan continued
fore the door, and Dan. on card over
the entrance read Miss Lane" The
smell of calcium aud paint and per-
fume and the auxiliary hung heavy on
the air. The other man saw Dan
knock, knock again and then so in.
Unannounced Dan Blair opened the
door Of the dressing room Of the
actress. Miss Lanes dressing rooms

friends. They were done with great

Lane, who stood at the entrance
through the smoke, burst into laugh
so bright, so delightful, that he was
carried high up on the coral strands
to the very beach. She crossed her
white arms over her breast and leaned
forward as a saleswoman might lean
forward over counter and with her
beautifully trained voice, all sweetly
she asked him:
Hello. little boy, what will you
take"
Blair giggled, quick to catch her
meaning, and answered: "Oh, choco-
late, l guess!"
And Lefty Lane laughed, put out
her white hand, the one without the
cigarette, and said: Haven't got
that brand on board-so sorry! Will
a cocktail do? All sorts in bottles.

gins handed her and ran 1t through
her hands, still beaming on Dan.
Come in to see me at the Savoy on
any day, at two-thirty except on mat

Put on your scarf" Poniotowsky,
taking it from her hands, laid it across
her white shoulders, and she passed
out between the two men, light as
bird, smiling, nodding. followed by the
prince and the boy from Montana. The
crowds began to fill the lately empty
wings-dancers, chorus girls with
their rustling gowns. Lefty Lane said
to Dan:
Guess you'll like my solo in this
act all right-it's the best thing IN
'Mandalay.' Now go along. and clap
me hard
1t gave him a new pleasure, for she
had spoken to him in real American
fashion with the swift mimicry that
showed her talent Dan went slowly
back to his party. AS he took his
seat by the duchess she said to him:
You went in to see Lefty Lane. Do
you know herr"
Know her!" And as Dan answered,
the sound of his own voice was queer
to him, and his face flushed .hotly.
Lord, yes. She used to be in the
drug store in Blairtown. Sold soda

Whoever would have thought that she
had that in herr" He nodded toward
the stage, for Lefty Lane had come
on. She sang in our church, too, but
not for long" +
Who was with her in her dressing
room?" the duchess asked. Blair
didn't answer. He was looking at
Lefty Lane. She had come to dance
for the rajah, and in her arms she
held four white doves; each dove had
a coral thread around its throat. 1t
was a number that made her famous,
