Br ELNA PAULSEN I came Into a blmtliih town Twin UIk In point of alio, I met a melancholy clown With mUnry lu bis cyea.

John Sharp Wllllama, licinocriitlc I 8 -nutor from Miaelnalppl and one I time flour lender for hla pnrty In the limine of Itepreacntatlves, In a recent speech declared: "I never knew a man ao tiltti'rly attacked for ao little ciiiiue aa William Howard Tuft." Harper's Weekly, a Democratic newspaper, now aiiiporllng Woodrow WIIkoii, haa said: "If there la a luarer man In these United Wales than William Howard Taft, we do not know hi name or where he Uvea." tfeiialor Btone, of Mlaalaalypl, In a speech In the Uttnate, Annual 1'.'. aald: "The President la a hlKh claaa man, hla Ideaa and linpiilae are naturally good. 1 believe h I in to be a patriotic American, devoted to the Interests of hla country and hla people." William Jennings llryan, the great Democrat, In a apeech made Septem ber S, at hla home In Lincoln, Nebras ka, declared that "more reforms have taken place during Taft'a admliilatra tlon than during any other In recent yeara," although of course he declined to give tha I'realdent credit tor these reforms. In this same speech he spoke of Taft aa a "high minded man of great Inleitrlty." Woodrow Wilson In a recent speech at Minneapolis said: "I want to pay ! "You sen the Single Taxor men B,y tribute of re.pec, to ,h. President j ir."'..... of the United Btaloe. I do not believe j Tho far;n (hnt onca WRa mino. that any man In the lulled Stalea who knowa hla facta can question the patriotism, or the Integrity, or the public purpose of the man who now presides at the executive office In Washington." Progreaalvs Senator Robert fjiKollctte, leader -of the Progressives, recently declared on the floor of the Senate that Presi dent Taft had ben far more active and aggreaalve than I'realdent Roose velt In tha prosecution of the Sherman antitrust law. Theodore Kooaevelt, who la at pres- j -ent bitterly attacking I'realdent Taft, said of him, June 18, 1908: "I do not j believe there can be found In tha -whole country a man ao well fitted to )e I'realdent. He la no) only abaolule ly fearless, abaolutely dlalntereated and upright, but he haa the widest acquaintance with the nation's needs, without and within, and tho broadest sympathies with all our cltlicns. He would be as emphatically a President of the plnln people as Lincoln, yet not Lincoln himself would be freer from the leant taint of demagogy, the least tendency to arouse, to appeal to class hatred of any kind." Mr. Roosevelt alao, In a speech before the New York State Hepubllcan Conven tion on September 27. 11)10, after Mr. Taft had been President for nearly two years, nnd after reviewing tho .nets done by tho present administra tion, aald: "These and almllar lawa, backed up by executive action, reflect high credit upon all who succeeded In putting them In their present shape upon the statute booka; they repre sent an earneat of the achievement which la yot to come; and tho bene ficence and far-reaching Importance of this work done for the whole people measure the credit for which Is rightly due to tha congress and to our able, ..upright and distinguished President, 'William Howard Taft." stranger, have you nevor hoard - What happened here of late!

"And when V earned a Utile col" I'll hie ma to a train And leave this town far. far behind. And ne'er come back again. Thla tale they Md me far and wide, The reason now I knew Kor hoieleasnesa on every side. As town more empty grew. "The outcome of the 8lngle Tax, Or lax on land alone.

THE NEW REVALA TION By DEAN COLLINS LaFollctte No. 4. THE ROOSEVELT WAY. "HOW HO you stnnd on ME?" la Roosevelt's sole tost of quiillnca tlon for a l'rogreuolve. Imagine a Congress elected on this basis. Of course, It would be reactionary. Roosevelt Is not concerned about a progressive Connives. An Aldrlch Semite and n Cinnon llouaa are satisfactory to him. If he can win more easily with that kind of u combination. Whut would become of the progressive movement, under Biich leadership? And yet, It is exactly the plan Roosevelt pursued when President. It Is the Roose velt way. He supported Lodg for United States Senator two years ago, and Penrose for United States Senator four years ago. He has always played this kind or a politi cal gume.' Senator LaKollette In LaKollette's Weekly Magazine, August 10, 1012. Gov. Johnaon Not Hopeful. When Governor Johnson left Cali fornia to begin a atumplng tour for the third term candidate, he prac tically acknowledged that he wa8 en tering upon a hopeless taBk. "I am not going to resign," he said, "and after the November election it la quite possible that I shall return to the office I now occupy." Like a great majority of the Bull yr,, Governor Johnson is dla couraged. U'Ren, the Mosea of the modern day, Hath lifted to High Fels, hla mystic eye, And heralds forth the latest moasage gleaned From aoleinn Oregon Clty'B Sinai; Letting iia wandering, baffled tribes men know That which should fill ug with sublime elation That U'Ron, who hath lod us on BO long, Huth doped ua out a new tax revelation. Far had we wandered, 'neath th' Kgyptian code Of private ownership of land, which founded The base of all our state's prosperity And led to growth, with certainty surrounded. Fondlv we dreamed of greater, sta bler growth; Hut a new vision to the Seer ap pearing. Lends him to warn us that the promised bind Lies farther on, in Single Taxer's clearing. Neath the old code, by U'Ron Sup plemented, We wandered on, well guided in tha light time By bright cloud castlea, and also conducted By pillars of hot air within the night time. , Now he would cast those tables down and bust them. Whereon Ib graved our present tax ing system, And carve anew his Fcls-lnsplred commandment The latest revelation ef hla wisdom. Oh, "Moses," we have followed you some seasons, And were beginning to learn how to take them The lawa by which you strove to lead from Egypt, But now, alack, you're planning to vamalra t lift IT! Some of the dope you carried to adoption Might, after all, be quite the part or wisdom, But the thin soup ot Single Tax doth drive me To hug the fleshpota of our pres ent system. PUBLIC SALE OF BROS.
