THES EATTLE STAR bute to Justice Harlan The trusty sentinel has fallen at his post. : Alone of the nine justices of the United States supreme court, John Marshall Harlan invariably voiced the view that the rights of man are superior to the rights of Although his judicial influence stood for but one- his moral influence frequently outweighed the ther eight-ninths, in great decisions of the court of last But he could not live forever. He was 78 years old served on the supreme bench 34 years— longer than any other man except John Marshall. } His name and fame will not be interred with his bones. They will live on into the unborn centuries when the ideals for which he stood shall be triumphant, and when the time-servers of his day shall be as nameless OLD We Cook just two yoars ago was given the keys of the city of York and hailed as the greatest discoverer since Mr, C, Columbus, erday, when he returned, a mob followed so closely at his heels ‘Phat police protection was necessary. The fight is on. . WILL THE PEOPLE OF WASHINGTON BE AL- LOWED TO VOTE FOR PRESIDENT? They can't now. Already the machine politicians are busy laying their plans to defeat the will of the people. * A people’s national convention would wipe the Taft ma- off the map. The old line standpat politicians know this. they want to keep the people clear out of things. ___ But the people are learning their rights. They are mighty fired of boss ruled conventions. 4 Here's the whole situation in this state in a nut shell. THE GANG'S PLAN: Have the state central committee, standpatters, name the delegates to the national con- tion. These delegates will be ordered to vote for Taft. They ‘are supposed to represent the people of Washington. They ‘only represent instead, the little clique of men who give them ‘their orders. THE PEOPLE'S PLAN: To have Gov. Hay call a ‘ial session of the legislature to pass a law giving the people right to vote, not only for delegates to the national con- vention, BUT FOR THEIR CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT “OF THE UNITED STATES. Resolutions by the progressive league in Seattle, and pe- _ titions to Hay to call a special session, started by Wenatchee 4 ives, have opened the fight. eS The Washington delegation to the national convention MUST represent the people of the state. IF THE PEOPLE OF WASHINGTON WANT TAFT, _ THEIR DELEGATES MUST VOTE FOR TAFT. IF THE PEOPLE OF WASHINGTON WANT LA FOLLETTE, ‘THE DELEGATES MUST VOTE FOR LA FOLLETTE.

Babson, of Wellesley Hills, Mass, keeps tab on business “Proughout the world. His latest bulletin is as follows: United States—Crops only fair, except cotton, which ie good; busi- mess di all.

An- ¥. bread, as the finished product, hasn't gone up yet—if you get full- it loaves, Taft on Tour The president is a piteous spectacle on the stump. His fingers are fall thumbs and his feet are full of shoes, and it is doubtful if any polit- feal chicken as sick as he is ever got well. Without a Roosevelt to do his fighting, he is lost. The people he harangues are respectful, but unconvinced. He sews himself up hopelessly, for in one breath he talks free trade in defense of his reciprocity measure, and in the next he falks protection, to which free trade is the unpardonable sin. His pres- ‘@nt tour is worse than a mistake; it is a disaster. If he should continue Bis present course much longer, he will nominate Robert Marion La Fol- Tette for president—St. Louls Mirror.
