THE TWO GREAT ISSUES
With great clearness and accuracy
President Taft has stated the two
great issues now before the American
people. The first is the retention, on
a sound and permanent basis, of the
popular constitutional government un
der which, with an independent ju
diciary, the country has steadily pro
gressed. The other is the continu
ance of the prosperity which has ac
companied Republican .administrat
ions, and which has been especially
observance under Taft.
In the hurry and bustle of everyday
affairs we are apt to ignore the deep

By the Rev. Dr.
WALTER T. SUMNER.
Chairman of Chicago
Vice Commission
W F there be an increase in annoyance to women upon the streets
I am inclined to think that it can be TRACED TO THE
JL, DRESS OF THE WOMEN.
THE AVERAGE WORKING GIRL TODAY IS TAKING,' NO
DOUBT IGNORANTLY, AS HER STANDARD OF DRESS THAT OF THE
DEMIMONDE. IT IS NO WONDER THAT SHE, CONSCIOUSLY OR UN
CONSCIOUSLY, INVITES VMEN'S ATTENTIONS.
Girls of fourteen and fifteen years of age are quick to imitate, and
when they Bee their mothers and other women wearing tight skirts
and short skirts they naturally consider it the right thing and FOL
LOW THEIR EXAMPLE.
Unquestionably the styles affected by women are having an UN
WHOLESOME EFFECT UPON THE MORALS OF THE NA
TION. Many of these styles are decidedly immodest. But can we
blame young girls for adopting them when well dressed women show
them the way ? . ,
Who is responsible ? The girls' mothers. .They should use good
counsel and their authority with the young women. .
cub
and significant facts connected with
government1 and to regard constitu
tional government questions as re
mote from individual wellfare. There
never was atime, however, when it I
was so important that the American
people should understand the vital ne
cessity of remaining steadfast to the
wise principles of government which
our forefathers made the basis of our
national greatness. '
While it may nbt be easy to under
stand the intricate tetails of gov
ernment, there is no difficulty in ap
preciating the value of continued
prosperity. Even if greater and more
vital questions were not involved,
there would be sufficient reason for
re-electing President Taft in the one
fact that a continuance of his admin
istration means the maintenance of
business stability, commercial pro
gress universal employment and na
tional credit.
The Democratic party on the other
hand, offers nothing but vague and
unsubstantial promises and has no
record except one of incapacity and
incompetency in government with
general distress existing during the
unhappy years when it was entrusted I
with power.
PROF. WILSON'S SAD SITUATION.
Since he emerged from the cloister
ed seclusion of Princeton University
into the1 mad whirl of politics, Pro
fessor Wilson has not led a happy
life. When he was a college instruct
or and writing books which contain
ed his real views, and when he was
teaching young men through academ
ic addresses, he wrote and said things
which now as newly-fledged candi
date, he deeply regrets.
We can well understand that Prof
essor Wilson does not now like to be
confronted with hisi denunciation of
organized labor, his severe reflection
upon the character of immigrants
from southern Europe, and his pro
test against the payment of pensions
to old soldiers. It is easy to imagine
that all these things rise up to plague
him. He realizes that they are things
that no candidate for the presidency
should have said. t
As a matter of fact, they should
not have been said by any American
citizen who had the welfare of his
country at heart. They show that
Professor Wilson is a theorist, a per
son of shifting views without positive
convictions, a man not of the people.
He cannot now honestly assert that
he did not mean what he said. What
he believed then he believes now.
We extend to Professor Wilson our
sincere sympathy in his dilemma. He
is having trouble of his own. While
he is explaining and shifting uneasily
from one foot to the other, President
Taft stands firmly upon the splendid
record of his administration and of
the Republican party and needs neith
er apology nor defense.

It's the iRight Team, Scoop - But thp Wrong Uniform
FIRST YEAR VOTERS
They Should Vote With Repub
lican Party.
It Has Stood for Progressive Policies
..Within Sane Lines and Has Given
the Country Unexampled
Prosperity.
Between three and four million
young men in the United States will
this year cast their first vote. Every
one of them should vote for President
Taft and the Republican party.
In choosing his political affiliation
the first voter should thoroughly
study the platforms, principles . and
records of the great political parties,
before allying himself with either. If
he goes into the record of facts im-!
partially, he cannot escape , the con
viction that his choice must bewith
the Republican party. From Lincoln
to Taft, with one single exception,
every president of the United States
has accepted the . inspiring Repub
lican doctrine. The Republican party
preserved the Union,"' abolished slav
ery, freed Cuba, rescued the Philip
pines and Porto Rico from three cen
turies of Spanish tyranny, secured the
open door of trade in China and is
building the Panama Canal making
the old world dream of centuries
come true andjeadjustlng the world's
highways of commerce. In addition
to all this its beneficient policies and
wise administration have resulted in
the progress of the nation, with com
mercial development and national
wealth reaching a point almost be
yond imagination.
Democrats Arte Destructive.
On the other hand, the first voter
will find that the Democratic party
has always been an obstructive and
destructive party instead of construc
tive; that when in power it has al
ways brought disaster to the country
not only because of its incapacity
and incompetency, but also because
it has invariably destroyed manufac
turing interests by attempting to foist
free trade upon the American people.
It has always been on the wrong
side of everything, and if it could,
have had its way would have de
stroyed the credit of the nation with
the free coinage of silver. In the last
Democratic administration the na
tional debt increased and distrust and
panic paralyzed the great industrial
system of the country. The value of
farm products decreased $500,000,000,
banks closed, business firms failed,
factories were silent and three million
ablebodied men were begging for work.
These things happened during the
short administration of the Demo
cratic party, which has done nothing
for progress, nothing for the cause of
liberty and freedom, and nothing for
the glory of our common country, for
more than half a century.
Republican Party Will Live.
The first voter will not be received
by the attack now made upon the Re
publican party by men who are smart
ing under the sting of disappointed
ambition. This is not the first year
in which the Republican party has
been subjected to similar experiences.
There was the bolt of the Liberal Re
publicans to Horace Greeley in 1872,
the defections in the early 90's to the
Farmers' Alliance, Greenback and
Populist parties and the withdrawal
of the Silver Republicans In 1896.
Republican presidents Lincoln, Grant
and McKinley have been loaded witn
the vilest abuse by their contempora
ries just as President Taft is assailed
today., But the Republican party has
survived all these experiences just as
it will survive the present attempt to
bring about its destruction.
The men who left the Republican
party in the past have gone down to
political oblivion. Those who have re
mained with the Republican party
have, on the contrary, proudly par
ticipated in its great achievements.
The Republican party offers to the
first voter the splendid record of its
past and the' glorious promise of its
future.
Linnaeus and His Works.
How much sleep do men need? Jer
emy Taylor was content with three
hours, Baxter with four, Wesley with
six. Bismarck and Gladstone needed
eight, but Goethe, Napoleon, Mlrabeau
and Humboldt professed that they
could get along very well with less.
Linnaeus, the naturalist, was one of
those who robbed themselves of sleep
during their earlier years and made
up for it later in life. In his wakeful
periods during his old age he would
retire to his library, take down one of
his own works and read it with a sigh
of regret "How very fine!" he would
murmur. "What would I not have
given to be able to write a book like
this!"

It was a hot day. and Abe Shreter
sat on a chair under the awning of
Skinner's grocery with his feet on the
head of a barrel and his head nodding
with drowsiness. Colonel Harper, who
had cofce into town and left his mule
hitched in front of the postoffice, came
along on bis way to the drug store and
halted to say:
"That yo', Abe? I declar' to good
ness but I didn't know yo' at first
sight. Powerful hot day in town."
"Bless me, kurnel, bless me.1" ex
claimed Abe in reply as he slowly low
ered his legs to give the colonel the
benefit of the barrel. "I whs jest
a-thinking about yo', kurnel jest
a-thinking and a-pondering. How's
co'n a-getting on this weathe?"
. "Ought to be a little mo' rain, meb

"And mewls hold their own, I reck

x "Jest about hold their own, Abe?"
"That's good, kurnel. If I can't hold
my own I'm still glad to see other
folks do It. Things are looking up a
bit for me, however. These yere Pike
county scandalizers seem to have got
tired of throwing me down and jump

chance to draw a long breath. ""Dawg

"When the wah ended I run for of

can remember that I was knocked out

hat. That's the way Pike county en
couraged me to grab hold with both
bands and climb to the top."
"Yes, I remember about that," mus
ed the colonel as he watched a dog
rolling over and over in the dusty
street
"Then I turned to law," continued
Abe as he hitched the chair over to
get a brace for his feet on a post of
the veranda. "Kurnel. Harper, nobody
on the face of this big earth will ever
