Ye Gods! For two solid weeks every subterfuge and trick and blud- geon of power has been used by the Taft machine to prevent rule either of, by or for the people. And then they come back with tl oratory from the lips of the immortal Lincoln. It’s a phemy on the memory of the great emancipator. Professing to venerate the name of Lincoln, the machine stands sponsor for Taft, with his Ballinger-Lurton record, and expects to cover up the fraud with fulsome verbiage and glit tering rhetoric. ax of blas is scintillating cl : Washington fought the ed machine on its own ground, | i whipped it, and the boss-r Taft-owned national commit sle’s delegates to have the president, vernment ‘aft, and the bosses wn the tee turned down the pe who said the people were incapable of self California gave 77,000 majority against brush it aside and seat Taft me Texas, Arkansas. line through a long list of the the national committee, then the convention, packed by it, b scople, then insulted their intelligence by declarin nt of, by and for the people. The platform is a stump speech of a pettifogging dema gogue rather than a clear statement of principles It plays upon catch phrases and words to the voters, but leaves a string to be pulled by the bosses to prevent government for the majority It talks “conservation,” but what about Ballinger? of Pinchot and Glavis It talks parcels post, but has a “proper regulation” string to it, With a zone system that will make it possible to kill its effectiveness. It slobbers all over the tariff question, but fails to tell ayed the or governt jeceive What ag of the broken promises of the past It wants money loaned to farmers, but proposes to see that it is left to some private corporation to skin them in the} game. , It conjures with such popular terms as “public health, “workmen's compensation,” “short hours for women and chil- dren,” but is going to see to it that “property ri get what is coming to them and the people know what Taft thinks is coming to them. Drunk with their own stolen power, the Taft crowd, work- ing the sawse old boss schemes to control the convention fmagine they can paim off the same old gush on the people and get away with it for the essence of truth. Tt does not go. Party idolatty has been shattered, party labels mean noth- fing today and the party lash has lost its cracker and its sting The convention should have made complete its fiasco by @He moment of sanity at the close, long enough to quote one other axiom from the great “first leader of the pdrty,” towit: “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all of the time.” And the time has come when William Howard Taft has fost his power to fool many of the people any of the time. s ONE Chicago delegate expressed the feelings of all Sat- urday evening when he replied to a fellow selling busts of} Colonel!

The third year they deeper into the study of hygiene, with eminent physicians to lecture to them, and then adventure into the field of mental life from infancy to adolsecence. This is learning “mothercratt.

It is beyond Jall reason to expect a driver to go over a crossing in the down-town district at a speed of four miles an hour, and to maintain a speed not exceeding twelve miles per hour in the outlying sections. Under the present speed regulations, the chauffeur feels that he is justified in exceeding the speed limit, and as each chauffeur has a different opin- ion of the speed he may safely trav- el, some travel at a speed which is beyond all reason, and by so doing imperil pedestrians and other con veyances as well as themselves.
