High Points in Roosevelt's
Criticism of President

Extracts from Colonel Roosevelt's
speech at Louisville yesterday:
1t would be interesting to know
exactly what outrage on American
citizens or on the rights of human
ity anywhere could make him
president WILSON, cross the line
between being willing to fight"
and too proud to fight"
President Wilson was not too
proud to fight Haiti. He has
taught the world that no nation
which is small enough to be help
less can insult us with impunity.
President Wilson has seen the
lives of some 500 Americans taken,
afioat and ashore, and never in one
case has he made good the promise
of his platform.
Instead of speaking softly and
carrying big stick. President Will
son spoke bombastically and car
ried O dishrag.
Apparently Mr.. Wilson does not
mind the Mexicans being at war
with us as long as we are not at
war with the Mexicans.

More to be considered than the
Availability OF either Hughes or
Taft, however, is the demand of the
west that the next president come
from somewhere west of the Allie
gheny mountains The west will be
the undoing of all the eastern can
|didates.-Des Moines Register.
While condemning the South and
the democratic party for sectional
ism we, should keep our own skirts
clean. Opr only interest is to elect
some man president who is big
enough to take nation wide view
If we elect such 4 man it does not
matter whether he lives in Maine or
New Mexico, Rhode Island or Utah.
A threat to undo any candidacy be-
cause east or west of the Alleghenies
is little short Of treason, and indi-
Gates narrowness and provincial
ism that is a disgrace to any citizen
1t should not escape observation that
the ''west" would be the loser III
such an issue. 1t is not wise for the
states west Of the Mississippi to raise
such an issue as the states east of
that river would swamp us hopeless
ly in every election.-Eagle Grove

PRICE OF PRINT PAPER.

Fort Dodge Chronicle: The feder-
al trade commission, which has been
Investigating the high cost of print
paper, finds that the price of paper
is going up while its cost TO manu-
facture is declining. In other words,
the printers and publishers of the
country, and eventually the public,
are being gouged by paper manu-
facturers without any justification.
During the first half OF this year the
average cost CT producing news
print paper in domestic mills was
less than S1.65 a hundred pounds,
or below the average cost in the last
three years. At the same time the
smaller newspapers, not protected by
contracts with the mills, were being
compelled to pay $500, $500 and
even $500 a hundred pounds for
their paper supply. This is worse
than highway robbery. for the high
wayman takes a chance, and the
small publisher in this case has no
chance and no choice. He simply
has to stand and deliver. 1t is a
which cannot be permitted
to continue, and it is up to the gov
ernment to find a remedy,

Loca, men who attended the ses-

ly favorable impressions among men,
bers of the board. They obtained a
glimpse of the negro problem from
a new angle, and when they left
Jackson many of their former i'm
pressions concerning relations be-
tween the whites and blacks in the
South had been very much revised.
A rather amusing incident was the
Testimony of Laurence Jones, prin-
cipal Of the Piney Woods Industrial
School, and the impression it made
on Herbert Quick, member of the
board
Quick is one of the foremost schol
ars and writers in America. He re-
signed a position at $4,000 per year
as one of the editors of the Saturday
Evening Post to accept a $4,000 per
year place on the Farm Loan Bank
Board, which shows tolerably we'll
what sort of a person he is.
When Laurence Jones appeared
before the board he commenced
quoting Socrates, the first crack out
of the box, SO to speak. Quick looked
a bit startled. He was not looking
for Socrates from such a source.
Jones was telling about the idle
negroes in Mississippi, and quoting
the ancient philosopher, he remark
ed that, mot only is he idle who
does nothing, but he is also idle who
might be better employed Mr..
Quick stared at the witness like an
entomologist who had discovered
some rare bug, but the testimony that
came from Jones a few moments lat
er quickly convinced him that the
negro was not "bug," but level
headed, progressive and wide-awake
member of his race, who is doing a,
real and substantial work for the adj
vancement Of the negroes in Missis-
sippi
Every economic phase of the ne
gro problem, said Jones, can best be
solved in the South, where all of its
phases are thoroughly understood by
the people. He made an earnest APP
peal for the location of the Farm
Loan Bank in Jackson, and declared
that small loans, with ample time to
pay, will enable many thousands of
negroes in Mississippi to become
land owners.

It is claimed for Wilson that he
received more votes this year than
was ever given a candidate for presi-
dent. But that means nothing.
Ter before. The increase in popula-
ton was about two per cent per year.
That would mean natural increase
in the vote of sixteen per cent since
the election of Taft in 1908, who re-
Iceived the largest vote ever cast up
to that time. The total vote in 1908
was approximately 14,900.00O. The
natural increase in the vote in eight
Years is approximately 1884 900. Be-
|sides that probably one million of
votes were added to the total this
year by women in states where they
never voted for president before.
Hence the aggregate vote this year
ought to reach at least 17,2$4,000.
1t is likely that Hughes, although de-
feated, received a larger total vote
than any candidate for president up
to the election this month. Howev-
er, Roosevelt holds the championship
as presidential vote getter. In
1904 he secured 7,623,4S6 to 5,077,-
