The tax league was the work of C. McKusick and several of his associates, and the “Colonel” was easily persuaded to print the articles written for publication, those writing them knowing by experience that the columns of the Seatinel are for sale, at any old time. It needed but a small argument to show the “Colonel” where the money sub- scribed for membership in the league would divert to subscriptions for the Sentinel for six months—and the “Colonel” was “therein,” with his usual gusto. Relative to ““not raising hell to be bought off:” It is a fact which Allen can’t deny that at the last two city elections he has sold the Sentinel, body and breeches, to the supporters of Mayor Pogue, and John F. Gibbons of this city is not at all backward in telling of the fact—that he got the use of the columns of the so-called “‘Daily Sentinel,” to use as he saw fit. In February, 1907, Allen was afraid to stand for the ‘‘dope’” being handed out by the Sentinel and hied him to St. Paul, under the pretense of working in the interest of Bemidji securing the proposed state Normal school; and he did not return until the squabble over the election had passed. He claimed no connection whatever with that “Daily Sentinel,” after Allen swelled before election, but Mayor Pogue had won out, with a big importance and told of “OUR wonderful victory”—the old coward. Last February, Mr. Gibbons and his associates felt the need of a personal organ and again they easily “persuaded” Allan to resurrect and rejuvinate the ‘Daily Sentinel,” which had slumbered for a year, Allen having told the Pioneer that he had killed the first-born “because they wanted him to roast the Pio- neer—and he wouldn’t.” This time the “Colonel” thought it in- cumbent upon himself to announce that he had no connection whatever with the “Daily Sentinel,” which he did—over his own signature, in the first issue, as the fight wasa close one, and there was a possi- bility that Mayor Pogue would be defeated. Again, when Mayor Pogue was re-elected, Allen again claimed a great victory for ‘Us,” ignoring the fact that John Gibbons had again been the “man behind the quill.” A man who will so openly sell his paper, and make no “bones” of doing so, has little license to allude to other people as “raising hell to be bought.” " Allen’s course in raising the money to sell shares of stock for his “Sentinel Printing Company” shows the caliber of the man; and his “I holier than thou” attitude ill becomes him. KEYNOTE OF THE GAMPAIGN (Continued from first page.) Rrown in regfons which have hereto- fore been unproductive, and in every way possible conserving the natural resources of the country for our- selves and the generations to come after us. The department of commerce and labor, organized in 1903, has been ac- tive and potential in extending our commerce and protecting our labor. It has dispatched messengers to for- eign countries, particularly to South America and the Oricnt, to learn the meeds and tastes of the people with & view of increasing our The exports, which in 1003 fhkgregated 1,392 million dollars, will, it is esti- mated, in 1908 aggrezate about 1,000 millions, showing an increase prac- tically to every country. Tts bureau of statistics has established a system of recording the internal commerce of the country on the great lakes and at important interior centers. Its bu- reau of manufactures has brought about moreintimate relations between the manufacturers of the United | supplemented ded in the extension for our manu- ors, gn markets factures. Tt has co-operated in the beneficent work of arbitration to avert or ter- aminate strikes and promote the inter- ests of our laboring people. Con- gress has wisely co-operated with and the work of this de: partment by enacting a law for the better protection of seamen and to prevent thef® being induced ‘to ship throuch false representations. Tt has provided for an investigation into the conditions of working women and children. Tt has amended and strengthened the law to prevent the importation of contract labor and provided a plan for the further ex- n of that class of Asiatic immi- - ion which enters into competition with American workmen. It has en- acted a law limiting the hours of la- bor of cmployes engaged in railway train service and of railway tele- graphers. The congress just closed re-enacted the law passed by the Fihy-pir}th congress to conform to the opinion of the supreme court, making com- mon carriers liable for accidents to their employes engaged in interstate commerce. It has enacted a law for the further protection of the life of railroad employes in their hazardous employment. It has provided com- pensation for laborers and mechanics who may be injured in the service of the government and making a pro- vision for their families in the event of their being killed in the course of their employment. It has enacted a model child labor law for the Dis- trict of Columbia. Tt has directed a thorough investigation into the work- ing conditions of the employes of the telegraph and telephone companies doing interstate business, and, in re- sponse to the urzent appeal from both capital and labor, congress be- fore its adjournment appropriated $150,000 for an investigation into the cause of mine accidents with a view the safety of workers of promoting in our min It is within bounds to say that mo previous sessions of congress have displayed a more active or intelligent interest in the needs of the wage- earners than the past three sessions, nor has there heretofore in the same length of time been as much impor- tant and progressive legislation in the interests of this class of our fellow citizens, The work of the department of the interior has been prosecuted under the present, administration with intel- ligence and vigor. During the past year over 2 million acres of coal lands have been restored to the pub- lic domain. During the last five years fences unlawfully closing pub- lic lands have been removed from 3,519,533 acres, and steps are now be- ing taken to remove from such in- closures 3,750,000 other acres. During the past five years $516,501 have been collected for timber tres- passes upon the public land, and other judgments have been collected on claims compromised yielding $§510,681. 5 During the last five years 782 fraudulent land entries have been canceled, restoring to the public do- main 1, 40 acres. From July 1, 1902, to May 1, 1908, deeds for 160 acres each have been granted to homestead secttlers on the domain, covering 44,033,280 public acres. Since July 1, 1906, 171,047 original homestead and desert land entries have been made, embracing 28,371,400 acres, carrying out the avowed policy of the president to prevent monoply of our public lands and place a family on every 160 acres. It is estimated by conservative engineers that the reclamation act will bring into culti- vation and occupancy a quarter mil- lion acres of land now desert: and uninhabitable, to be fashioned into farms for our people, and this vast area will be brought into cultjvation without entailing the loss of a single dollar to the national treasury, as the land reclaimed is assessed, and the owner must return to the treasury the cost of reclamation. Under this act the government has constructed 1,881 miles of canals, 56 tunnels and 611 miles of wagon roads into heretofore inaccessible regions, the expenditures in this work agare- gating nearly $1,000,000 per month, As a result of the operations of the reclamation service eight new towns have been established, 100 miles of branch railroads have been construct- ad and 14,000 people have already taken up their residence in the desert. The work of thé pension bureau has been brought up to date.: The labor has increased, but the expense of administration during the last four years has decreased nearly $700,000. The force has been reduced from 2,000 to 1,400, and yet the number of rertificates issued during the last twelve months has been greater than any previous twelve months since the bureau was established, nearly 400,000 having been issued during the past year. The act of June 27, 1890, was the first disability law in the history of the world granting a pension to sol- tiers and sailors because of their ington dedicated to the peace and prosperity of all the Ameri¢as. The United States and Mexlco have co-operated in bringing about better conditions, which will put an end to all discord and restore peace and prosperity in Central America, Al the instance of the United States an Mexico a peace conference of repre- sentatives of all the five Central American countries. was held ip Washington in November and De- cember, 1907, and at this coenference, which was attended by representatives of the United States and Mexico, & series of treaties was made of the greatest practical importance, among then being a treaty which provides for a permanent international court for the trial and decision of all ques- tions whatever arising between Cen- tral American countries. Whis court has just been inaugurated in Costa Rica. In this a long step has been taken in the direction of prosperity and enduring peace in Central Ameri- ca, and the United States has won and receives the gratitude of the good and peaceful citizens of all those coun- tries. i The building of the Panama canal, the most colossal undertaking of the century, the successful completion of which is now assured, makes it more important to the United States than ever before that there shall be no hos- tile control of the route between either our great Atlantic and Pacific ports and the isthmus. sonit is of especial importance that the people inhabiting the islands and shores of the Caribbean shall main- tain: independent, peaceful and pros- perous governments. The policy of States and buyers abroad and, by bringing purchasers into_closer touch the United States to aid them in main- For that rea- |y, the Tast fotir year: ith the active participation of the delegates of the United States the second international peace conference at The Hague in the summer of 1907 entered into agreements, which, taken together, have been declared by hiih authority to constitute one of the greatest advances ever made toward the- reasonable and peaceable regula- tion of international conduct. Twelve treaties agreed upon at that confer- ence, all designed for reducing the probability or mitigating the horrofs of war, have been approved by the senate and ratified by \%e president of the United States. A Following the action of The Hague convention in providing greater facili- ties for the use of the permanent court of arbitration at The Hague, the United States has put itself upon the basis of the peaceful settlement of international disputes by concludin, fieneral treaties of arbitration wit ngland, France, Spain, Portugal,4'he Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, T- way, Switzerland, Italy, Mexico and Japan, while many other similat treaties are in course of negotiations. Under the general treaty with Great Britain the two countries have agreed to arbitrate before The Hague tri- bunal the difficult and vexing ques- tions, which for miore than a century have caused so much ill will and con- troversy, regarding the rights of our fishermen in the fisheries on the coasts of Newfoundland and the mari- time provinces of Canada. Congress at its last session made the necessary appropriations to defray the expense of this arbitration. The questions between Japan and the United States which caused so much public excitement in the year 1807 have been disposed of to the satisfaction -of the people of both countries. The friendship and sym- pathy between the two governments have now been signalized by the gen- eral treaty of arbitration concluded between them, by the invitation and acceptance of the invitation for the visit of our fleet at Tokyo and by the response of the United States to the invitation of Japan to participate in the great exposition which is to be held at Tokyo in the year 1912, for which congress has authorized the expenditure of one million and a half dollars, the greatest sum ever appro- priated for a foreign exposition. The unfriendly feelings among the people of China which grew out of the enforcement of the Chinese ex- clusion law and led to the boycott of American goods have disappeared, and American trade in China has been restored to its natural course.. The United States has secured the assent of all the nations having possessions in the Orient to a united effort with China to put an end to the curse of opium in the Orient, and an interna- tional conference under the leadership of the United States has been agreed upon to meet at Shanghai on the 1st of next January for the purpose of devising and formulating an interna- tional agrecment to prevent its pro- duction, sale and use. But the crowning act in the drama was that in which the president him- self took the initiative, halted the armies of Russia and Japan, bringing about -an honorable and, it is to be hoped, enduring peace, Yet nothing has added so much to his just fame as his persistent and irrevocable refusal to break the un- written law of the republic by accept- ing a nomination for a third term. By this act of self abnegation he places his name and fame in the se- cure keeping of history by the side of that of the immortal Washington. With this splendid record of the last four years in the management of our domestic and foreign affairs, backed by the history of nearly half a century of Republican policies, the public mind must rest in the convic- tion that the continued ascendancy of the Republican party will best pro- mote the interest of the people and advance the glory and stability of the republic. The work of the convention will soon be concluded. The platform will voice the dominant thought of the people, and the candidates nominated must stand upon it firm and erect. They must have the patriotism and sagacity of a Lincoln, the tenacity 05 a Grant, the wisdom and modesty of a McKinley and the courage of a Roosevelt. With such a platform and such candidates the issue cannot be in doubt. The Republican party con- fidently submits its record to the ap- proving judgment of the American people and upon its renewed declara- tion of faith, invokes continuance of oublic favor. the fore the question of our banking anfi currency system, the considera~ tion of which became and continues to'be a subject of pressing and com- manding importance. In the midst of unusual prosperity, with 6,698 na- tional banks under direct supervision and control of the national govern- ment, with a paid up capital of over 900 millions, a surplus and undivided profits of 750 millions and an out- standing circulation of 630 millions, secured by United States bonds, ev- ery dollar of which was worth its face in gold, with an unprecedented hold- ing of coin in the treasury of the United States, yet sudden paralysis seized the banks, national and state, and they were either reluctant or un- able to respond to the ordinary and legitimate demands of trade, Consternation prevailed, confidence shaken, and nothing but the prompt and heroic action of the secretary of the treasury averted a widespread and serious catastrophe. President Roose- velt well said in commending the sec- retary of the treasury: “I congratulate you upon the ad- mirable way in which you have hand- led the present crisis. I congratulate also those conservative and substan- tial business men who in this crisis have acted with such wisdom and public-spirit. By their action they did invaluable service in checking the panic which, beginning as a matter of speculation, was threatening to de- stroy the confidencé and credit nec- essary ta the conduct of legitimate business. “No one who considers calmly can m,xestiun that the underlying con- tions which make up our financial and industrial well being are essen- tially sound and honest. Dishonest dealing and speculative enterprise are merely the occasional incidents of our real prosperity. The action taken by you and by the business men in ques- tion has been of the utmost conse- quence and has secured opportunity for the calm consideration which must inevitably produce entire confidence in our business conditions.” That such a- disturbance should ave occurred under such circum- stances furnishes the strongest evi- dence that there is something inher- ently defective In the system itself, which can only be reached by a thor ough. overhauling. -~ But this system, taining such governments -has - been. arosecuted with special & r- | B hastily inaugurated . by Secretary C‘x_aaa ring the &gxégendps of wi Ly defecf abllity to Tespond at all “Gmes 1o the varying and exactin emands of trade, yet during the forty-five years of its existence has Served a wise and beneficent purpose. The recent panic calted the atten- tion of congress to the necessity of further legislation, and a measure has been ‘passed’ providing for an emer- gency currency of $500,000,000 to be issued under certain conditions and limitations, an authorization, it is be- lieved, which will prevent the recur- rence of any such disaster as befell the country last fall. The secretary of the treasury has already taken the necessary steps to give effect to this legislation, and banking associations ‘are already forming to avail them- selves of the benefits of this act. It is doubtful if the provisions of this act will.ever be invoked, as the ability to supply $500,090,000 additional cur- rency whenever needed will of itself have a tendency to make its issuance unnecessary. In the meantime, however, the Re- publican party is not indifferent to the necessity of a further and com- prehensive revision of our monetary and banking system, and to that end the congress justclosed authorized the creation of a monetary commission, composed of 18 members of the two houses of congress, clothed with pow- gress at the earliest date practicable what changes are necessary or desir: able in the monetary system of the United States or in the law relating to banking and currency, and for this purpose they are authorized to sit during the sessions or recess of con- gress, at such times and places as they may deem desirable, to persons and papers, to administer oaths, to summons and compel the at- tendance of witnesses, experts and other assistants as shall be necessary to_carry out the purpose for which said commission was created and to make such investigations and examin- ations in this or other countries of the subjects committed to their charge as _they shall deem necessary. This commission has already or- ganized and entered upon its labors and will diligently prosecute its du- ties with the hope of formulating a monetary system that will méet every legitimate business need and promote the prosperity of all of our people. But in the broader field of the world’s drama, where-the nations are actors, our country has taken a con- spicuous.and commanding part. Hay- ing become a world power, our in- fluence is worldwide and always ex- erted in the interest of peace and the betterment of mankind. When the dispute between Germany and France regarding the right of control in Mo- rocco threatened to involve all Eu- rope in war, the active influence of the United States, both directly and through its representatives at the conference at Algeciras, was a potent- factor in bringing about a peaceful solution. The participation of the United States in thepan-American conference at Rio de Janeiro in August, 1906, and the visit of Secretary Root to that conference and to ‘all the principal maritime countries of South America, where he was received with universal acclaim, put an end to the suspicion and distrust with which the growing power of the United States was re- garded by the Latin-American races and began a new era of friendship and sympathy between allthe Ameri- can republics. This has been aug- mented by thé secretary’s v to I Mexico as the guest of the Mexican republic in October, 1907, and by the visit of our fleet to the chicf maritime republics of “South America- and by the enlarged and greater development of the work of ‘“the International dissemination of knowledge ‘and: the cultivation of trade and friendly rela- tions between the different American kre now uniting in the erection of a tolendid building in the city of Wash- need of help without reguiring proof of disability incurred in service in the line of duty, and the act of Feb. 6, 1907, —granting pensions soldiers and sailors who served in the civil war and in the Mexican war, are measures of justice and generds- ity unexampled in the annals of a grateful peaple. pensioners on the rolls is now slight- ly in excess of 950,000, and the aver- age amount paid out in pensions in a month is nearly 13 million dollars, pensioners, During the past four years the post-office department has continued its beneficent work in the interest of all .the people until on the 1st of April, 1908, free rural delivery was in operation on 39,037 routes from 16,303 postoffices. Complete rural service has been established in 793 counties, saving $9,500,000 in the dis- continuance’ of postoffices and in every way carrying the blessings of the free delivery system to our rural population and thus promotino the happiness and contentment of the people, - It is to be regretted that a measure to provide for the carrying of our mails to the orient and the South American countries in American ships should have failed, but its passage in the near future is confidently ex- pected. The confession was made by Mr. Root on his return from the South American countries that “dur- ing the past summer I entered all the great ports of the southern continent, and I saw only one ship besides the cruiser that carried me flying the American flag.” This humiliating - condition should stimulate the American people to re- newed and determined effort to re- establish a merchant marine until we are able to carry American mails and American merchandise under the Am- erican flag to every port of trade. The work. of reorganizing and pro- moting the efficiency of the army has gore steadily forward until we have a military force not-only sufficient to maintain peace within our own bor- ders, but capable of resisting any pos- sible force that could be sent against us. The establishment of a general staff of the army has made action by it more prompt and effective than ever before and has served to give to the policy of improvement in the army-a h’iom{nen{; character. The educational training of officers of the army after graduation gives to our officers a higher training in mili- tary science and the practical needs of actual war than the officers of any other army. By the division of the artillery corps into the field and coast artillery the army has been separated into two branches—the mobile army and that part needed for the maintainance of the coast de-- fenses. Work upon the coast defens- ¢8 has proceeded both upon the main- land ‘and in the dependbncies_upon a v‘ evised scheme for their com- ‘time is near at hand er to inquire into and report to com-- Union of American Republics for the- countries, for which all the republics . to ally The total number-of- and in 1907, $138,155,412 were paid to® our mainland coast and otr depend- encies- will be proof against the sud- den capture of any seaport in which the nation’s’ flag is flying, Most important progress has been made in the development of the na- tional militia as an aid to the regalar army of the United States. By well directed legislation and by the activity of the prover bureaus of the war de- partment for the fifst time in the history of the country adequate steps are being faken to bring about an approximation -of . armameat, _equip- ment and discipline of -the” militia to those, of the régular army: The im- portance of this development for na- tional defense cannot be overestimat- ed. 3 The medical department has ren- dered most valuable service in stamps: ing out yellow fever, without which it would have been impossible to con- struct the Panama canal. The army has aided the stricken people of San Francisco, saving them from starva- tion and death due to the earthquake and fire with which that city was visited. Another and most remarkable in- stance of the efficiency of the army has been the work done by it during the year of its stay in Cuba as a force for the maintenance of the tranquili- zation of that island. Not a single report of any abuse by officer or man has reached the department during the entire time. The management of our outlying possessions under Republican admin- istration has been attended with re- markable success. Under American occupation and control the commerce of the island of Porto Rico, which i the most prosperous days of Spanish rule aggregated but 22 million dol- lars, was, in 1907, 56 millions. The production of sugar has advanced from 100,000 tons to 204,000 tons, vahted at 15 million dollars. When we took possession of the island there was but one school build- ing owned by the government. Now there are over 80, built and under construction, and the number of pupils in the public schools is 70,000. Peace and order prevail throughout the island, and a representative is accorded to the United States. In the Philippine Islands the people have been given a legislative body, the full power of conducting their own-municipal and provincial govern- ments, the establishment of their own tariff system, 'the direction of the postal service and, indeed, greater rights.and powers than those possessed by any other people sub- ject to our sovereignty. A sound and reliable currency system has been es- fablished, schools so enlarged that the number of primary schaols now aggregate between 3,000 and 4,000, with a total ‘enrollment in March last of 479,978; postoffices have been es- tablished throughout the archipelago, o free delivery service in the city of Manila; practically 10,000 miles of telegraph and cable lines are in oper- ation, and several hundred miles of new railway are under construction or contract; while less than 10 per cent of the government employees end municipal offices are Americans, tnd of the police and constabulary force 98 per cent are Filipinos. The work of civilizing and uplifting ‘he inhabitants:”'of the Philippine Islands: has gone forward with re- markable progress. ‘The resignation of President Palma of the republic of Cuba and the fail- ure of the Cuban Congress to elect a successor left ‘that island without a government at 3 time when great dis- order prevailed, and the president deemed it his duty to establish a pro- visional goyernment, restore order, -administer -Jaw. and justice, but cou- pled with the announcement that this action was preliminary to the re-es- tablishment of orderly government in the island, ‘The threatened -insurrec- tions were averted, peace and good order restored: and the development of - ‘production, transportation and commerce resumed. Public order has been perfectly ‘kept, and at no time for a century has the island been so free from marduding bands as under American provisional ;administration. Logal and mational e¥ctions are to be held “and 'the government again turned over to the Cuban people. Our navy has been strengthened until today we, hold a second place among the naval powers in the world, and our fleet -of battleships rides tri- umphartly around the globe, receiv- ing the friendly salutations of the na- tions, conveying peace and good will to all the people. The department of justice has prosecuted its work with fidelity and diligence, seeking to prevent viola- tions of federal law and to mete out meritorious punishment to the guilty. Its most important work during the past four years has been to defend the soundness of the-positions taken by it relating to prosecutions under the Sherman anti-trist law and the interstate commerce -law by carrying proceedings thus inaugurated through the various courts and to a final de- -termination by the supreme court of the United States,. that the constitu- tionality of these acts might be ad- judicated and settled. The effort of the national govern- ment to invoke that provision of the federal constitution which empewers congress to regulate commerce with. foreign nations and among the states presented problems of the greatest perplexity, the solution of which has been attended with no little difficulty. Without rehearsing the legislation enacted to correct the evils and the work of enforcing thege statutes it is gratifying to know that the abuses complained of are fast disappearing, and earrier and shipper alike are co- operating in the enforcement of the law, and what at one time threatened to be a protracted and acrimonious struggle is fast assuming a peaceful’ solution. The rulings of the interstate ‘com- merce commission are’ generally and | cheerfully accepted by " the carriers. The traffic officials of the carriers have manifested to a commendable degree a disposition and willingness to fairly and carefully consider the merits of complaints thus called to their attention by the commission and have voluntarily reduced their rates and applied corrective measures in nu- merous cases; 1 @ communication from one of present month the statement s made that “interstate transportation was never so clean and free from unfair and unlawful practices as at this mo- ment. It may be that here and there venturesome and reckless railroad of- ficials still indulge in rebates or take other measures to give special priv- ileges to a . favored shipper.' If so, they will be detected sooner or later and adequately punished, but among || the great mass of railroad official there is an honest and firm effort. ith the commission ‘'Why Walk With Disease as Your Companion?

In this connection it can be safely promised that, whatever revision or readjustment takes place under the control of the Republican party, it will give just and adequate protection to American industries and American labor and defend the American mar- ket against the -unjust and unequal aggression from whatever quarter | they may come.
