to join solidly against member going

a league, he declared in an address last
night.
Taft declared that the United States
may have to disregard the principle laid
down by Washington when he warned
his country to beware of entangling
alliances.
"lt seems now as if the time has
come when we must make great sac
rifice," he said. Conditions have
changed since Washington uttered his
historic advice. And even without
entangling alliances we seem 10 have

The first military efforts cf the al

The French were driven back into the
sea, and the British were unable TO
hold the shore positions.
In the second plan, the English and
French forces concentrated in the south

sole offensive point. They instituted
a 10 ward movement along the line oc-

Mob Law Means Life
To Nation, Says BIease

Boston, Aug. 26.-"W When mobs are
no longer possible, then liberty is
dead, ~ was the statement of Cole
Blease, former governor of South Caro-
lima, in an address before the governors
conference today in which he cham
pioned southern mobs who take the law
into their own hands. Lynching for un-
mentionable crimes, Blease declared,
was protection to civilization.
Denouncing the prison methods of
most states, the former governor brand
ed the third degree practices employed
in the north and west as cruel and un-
constitutional. He prophesied that the
time would come when the nation would
follow South Cardinals footsteps and
support mobs who punished criminals
guilty of hideous crimes. In defense
of mob law, Blease said:
"There is no hypocritical and sancti-
monious violation Of fundamental rights
under the cloak of the law by those
sworn to uphold the law; the deed is
open and civilization and justice are
vindicated. When mobs are no longer
possible, then liberty is dead. I"
Governor Hunt, of Arizona, Joined
Governor Dunno, of Illinois, in a plea
against capital punishment.
"Tragic experiments of the past, "
said Governor Hunt, Gin conjunction
with the research of scientists in re-
cent years have not only discovered the
contention that drastic punishments pre-
vent crime, but have indicated that
violence in dealing with offenders be-
gets violence in the populace."
Governor Goldsborough, of Maryland,
was greeted with tremendous applause,
when, in replying to the speech of
Blease, he said southerners did not ap-
prove of such sentiments as expressed
by the former South Carolina executive
He declared such sentiments were un-
American, irreligious and unchristian.

one evening to report a party at a

baby: He met his hostess at the door.
and after the usual salutations he
asked after the baby's health. The
lady, who was quite deaf and suffers
with the grippe, thought he was ask
ing after her cold, and answered that
she usually had one every winter,
this was the worst one she had ever
had; it kept her awake at night a
good deal. and at first confined her
to bed. Then noticing that the news
paper man was getting nervous, she
said she could tell by his looks that
he was going to have one just like
hers, and asked him to come in and
sit down.

Mr.. HARDING RE,1ERArEs.

Mr.. Harding, whose candidacy fol
the governorship occupies his and his
supporters minds very largely at pres
ent, had sent out to the news
papers advance copies of speech to
be delivered yesterday by him at the
chamber of commerce in Des Moines.
There was nothing new in it beyond
the matter contained in his previous
statement given out to the press ex-
cept that the speaker made more evil
dent his position as against the pres
ent system of law enforcement, against
the highway commission and re-
iterated his assertion as to SILLY and
foolish laws" He says "one of the is
sues Of the campaign in Iowa will be
whether or not we are to retain a rep
resentative form Of government or are
to be governed by a commission or
commissioners
Mr.. Harding's speech is vague ex-
cept to those who are in sufficiently
to be able to read between the lines.
Those are satisfied as to his meaning.
The liquor element without doubt will
accept his assertions as to SILLY and
foolish laws" as referring to the sump-
tuary laws which have been passed by
this and previous legislatures and his
reference to law enforcement as an at
tack upon the conduct of the present
department of justice and take hope
the good roads movement will feel
that champion has taken the arena in
their behalf, and his criticism of the
highway commission as a kingly
power" will be agreed to and ap-
plauded by the bridge contractors with
much unanimity.
Still the speech is vague, it isn't a
platform but knock, an appeal to dis
grunted elements and bid perhaps for
liquor support. While sufficiently clear
as to reaction and it's proposition to
repeal laws and throw a dam across
the stream of prgress it isn't suffi-
GENTLY definite as to any policy ex-
cept Of reaction.
1t is not likely that any person with
a tear-down policy lacking any sug-
gestion OF building progress will eve,
be governor of Iowa.
