posal by Ezra Meeker of Tacoma.
S4-year-old pioneer, that the gov
eminent restore the old Oregon
Trail by making it national
highway.
He wants the epic of the '40s
and '50s-the opening OF the
great sunset empire in which he
took conspicuous part--to be en-
graved In a 2,000-mile band OF
maeadam stretching from the Mis-
souri, to the Pacific coast, AZ an
abiding memorial to the spirit of
the pioneers.
1t is purely labor of love with
the, venerable old patriot and his
torian, and SO ardent Is his pas
sion to restore the most remark
able road known to history that,
in the face Of great hardship aud
almost insurmountable obstacles,
he has succeeded in recovering
and marking about 1000 miles OF
the old trail.
Retraced Old Trail.
To do this he retraced with 0
prairie schooner and an OK team
the road by which he and the vast
army Of homeseekers trekked
westward half a century before;
seeking out the ancient ruts and
the many obliterated stretches
The journey took q year. and hi
travelled $3.50 miles.
This he did at the age of -
driving from Puyallup, WASH. te
Washington. d. c., to make hit
first appeal to congress.

Vic Denies
He Killed
F. MaderO

NEW YORK, April 16.-Gen.
Victoriano Huerta, former presI-
dent of Mexico, denies he was re-
sponsible for the death of his one
time friend and chief, President
Francisco Madero.
He said he knew who had corl-
mitted the crime of numbering
Madero in prison, but that, as a
soldier, he had professional Sc
crets, and this was one of them.
He said that history would. do
him justice, and that eventually
Mexico would be saved by a Next
can.

Millionaire Says Term

Best Time" of His Life

That was what Frederick A.

"Of course" he explained, ut is
disagreeable to be imprisoned on

under these circumstances than
not at all.

ANOTHER
Rack IN THE FOLD

Senator Miles Poindexter, of Wash
ington, the only Progressive member
OF the United States Senate, has is
sued a letter in which he states that
he has returned to the Republican par
ty. Senator Poindexter gives many
reasons for his action, but he was
probably guided solely by one, which
is that he wishes to stay in the Sen
ate aud knows that he cannot be re-
elected next year as a Progressive.
In his home state Senator Poindexter
is given credit with being a past mas
ter in the science Of politics. Ten
years or SO ago he was district attor-
ney of Spokane county, jumping from
that position to the exalted office OF
United States Senator, in competition
with several men who were perhaps
better qualified and more entitled to
the position.
Senator Poindexter's return to the
Republican fold may be taken as a
certain indication that the Bull Moose
party is dead beyond resurrection, and
that in his judgment the old party of
protection is equally certain to return
to power in the election next year.

SPEAKER CLARK
A PRoTEcTIONIsT

Speaker Clark, how dare you9 How
dare you say you favor "Made in the
U. S. A." as a national trademark
How dare you further say, as you did
January 3, 1915, according to a Wash
ington telegram to the New York
Times, that goods made in this coun-
try gives employment to American
wage earners who want employment,
and employment at a living wage is
becoing a mole pressing problem every
day''a Mr.. 81 eaker, if you will listen
to Iowa you will hear shouting from
the sanctums, one sanetum at least,
that Protection to American industries
and wage earners is robbery and
that those who favor Protection are
"porch climbers Again, Mr.. Speak
er, how dare youq The answer is easy.
Mr.. Clark is a statesman. Hence he is
not given to economic lunacy. Oppo-
sition to Protection in this country is
a mark of political imbecilty. Mr..
Clark is not a political imbecile.
The first act of the American Con-
gress was a Protective Tariff law,
written by James Madison and signed
by President Washington. During the
administrations of Washington, Adams,
Jefferson and Madison, for a period of
three and twenty years, the Tariff was
several times revised, but always up
ward, never downward. What porch
climbers the early Presidents must
have beeni Even as late as Jackson's
time in his celebrated North Carolina
letter he said this country must have
a Protective Tariff or it would go to
pauper labor.
And yet the echoes of Tariff Robber
and "Porch Climber" screeds are
heard here and there in this great Re-
publican state. For CHARACTERIZATION

An investigation ordered by the
Democratic Department of Commerce
to determine the effect of the new
Democratic Tariff law upon the coun,
try has resulted in the return of a
clean bill of health for that act. The
investigation initiated was confined to
industries in Montgomery county, Pa.
1t is trues that the Montgomery
County Manufacturers association
complained that conditions in that sec
ton of the country were d~eplorable.
i. is true that the investigator con
frmed this statement and reported a
.'falling off in the number of men EN-
ployed in some of the plants" But
what is that in comparison with the
greater and more important discovery
made by him that more than the av-
erage aount of money was spent in
~improveents during the last year and
that the banks Of te community We're

1t is not surprising that a Democratic
investigation should result in a vindi
cation of Democratic Free-Trade; but

that the best excuse that could be al.
legged for charges of a d%eplorable stu.

of employment should be the sound
conditions of the banks shows how i'm.
possible it is for the champions of the
Underwood act to frame up any ade-
quate or even plausible defense.

try. But it is a significant fact that
they come under a Democratic Free
Trade administration and that they 60

Earth's Diameter.

The earth's greatest diameter is not
necessarily at the equator. According
to the eminent Professor Henkey, the
actual greatest diameter is that taken
from the summit of Mount Chimbo-
razo. The line drawn from this point
to the opposite side on a point in Su-
matra gives a diameter of 1929 miles.
