TAFT AND WILSON
The political campaign is between
President Taft and Professor Wilson.
This fact is absolutely established.
Rooevelt is out of it. It is said that
he has written a letter to a personal
friend admitting that he cannot be
elected. He has been forced to this
conclusion by reason of the fact that
in Michigan, Colorado, Washington,
Minnesota, and elsewhere, the so
called Progressives have made a pit
iful showing in the primaries.
In a square fight between Presi
dent Taft and Woodrow Wilson the
election of the former is certain.
President Taft is strong in the east
and is gaining daily in the west..
Many Republicans who are willing
to vote for Wilson in order to insure
the defeat of Roosevelt are now real
izing the fact that this coure will not
be necessary and that. by voting for
Mr. Taft they will accomplish the de
feat of both Wilson and Roosevelt.
The Republican managers are per
fecting organizations in every state
and will make a strong pull to trium
phantly re-elect the Republican tick
et. HOW WOULD HE DO IT?
"We propose to legislate, for the
farmer, so that he can deal directly
with the consumer, and so that when
the consumer pays for produce the
money 'may go directly into the pock
ets of the farmer, and by this means
Men and Women Today
Still Like Cave Dwellers
By Dr. WILLIAM F. WAUGH, Neurologist, of Chicago
HERE IS A CONSTANTLY THICKENING COAT OF THE VAR
NISH OF CIVILIZATION FORMED OVER THE MAN AND THE
WOMAN, BUT. UNDERNEATH IT .THEY ARE IDENTICAL
WITH THE CAVE MAN AND CAVE WOMAN, UNCHANGED AT
HEART. THE SIMPLE MAXIMS THAT RULED THE CAVE DWELLER
GOVERN HUMANITY TODAY.
. Every woman sits and waits the coming of her lord." She ia ready
to follow when he beckons. HE IS MASTERFUL. He woos not,
beseeches not, implores not, serves not. He takes his own when he
finds it. He commands, knowing he will be obeyed, and that is the
SIGN FOR WHICH SHE WAITS. - '
. His ancestor simply caught his woman, knocked her down if she
resisted and dragged her, none too gently, to his lair. The nearer
the modern approximates this type and method the BETTER IT
SUITS THE WOMAN. History does not tell os that one of the
Sabine nwiids refused the union thus forced upon her.
CUB
we will cope with the high cost of
living as no other means can." Col
onel Roosevelt. .
The foregoing is a sentence from
speech wWcn Col Roosevelt recent.
ly made in Oklahoma, He has made
substantially the same statement in
a score, or perhaps in hundreds of
I speeches, so it cannot be regarded as
a slip of the tongue, an accidental ab
surdity. But that is is an absurdity who can
deny? Why does not the farmer deal
directly with the "consumer now? Is
there any law preventing or prohib
iting it? Could any law be enacted
that would compell it?
Everybody knows that in a limited
way the farmer does, deal directly
with the consumer now. In the small
towns farmers do sometimes drive
from door to door selling their pro
duce direct to the consumers. So there
is no law against it.
But everybody knows, also, that,
speaking broadly, it is, and always
will be, wholly impossible for the
farmer to deal directly with the con
sumer. How could a farmer with a
hundred fat steers to sea, deal direct
ly with the consumers of meat? How
could a farmer with 10,000 bushels of
wheat in his graneries deal directly
with the people who eat bread? How
could a great city like Chicago be fed
if its people could deal only with
the farmers who produce the food
upon which they subsist?
Gn the streets of New York the
other day a woman orator declared
that meat was high because the meat
trust would not kill cattle enough,
and "If Roosevelt were president he
wuld compel them to kill more"" cat
tle!" The whole country laughed at the
ridiculous declaration, and said:
"How like a woman."
But the speech of the woman was
not one whit more absurd, than this
studied and repeated statement of the
third term candidate himself that
"we deal directly with the consumer."
It is not only undesirable economi
cally, but it is impossible physically.
And everybody knows it.
How the Great Penguin Hatches.
The great penguin of the southern cir
cle, standing with its head as high as
a man's waist, hatches its eggs in a
peculiar manner. These are not laid
upon-the ground and brooded on after
the manner of most birds' eggs. The
female lays two large eggs. The first
she hands over to the male bird, the
other she keeps. The egg is held on
the upper surface of the large flat feet,
and is pushed up under the waistcoat
of thick feathers. It is there held close
to the body, whose warmth gradually
vitalizes the young bird. So tenacious
are the parent birds of this grip that if
you knock one of them over It will fall
on its back with" its feet stuck stiffly
out, still clutching the egg to its body.
Substitute For Handcuffs. ,
The French police do not make use
of handcuffs, but a chain' with-a cross
bar on each end.
The Opinion She Sought,
"Well, what do you think of my new
hat?" she asked.
"Do you want a candid opinion?" he
questioned.
"Heavens, no!" Bhe replied. "Say
something nice." Exchange.

TRUSTS ARE FOR T. R.
Their Directors Contribute to His
Campaign Fund. '
Harvester Trust Perkins and 8teel
Trust Munsey Give Him
Half of Total Amount
Contributed. y
Roosevelt's cry of "Stop thief," has
not succeeded in diverting public at
tention from the liberal support which
he is receiving from the big trusts.
Among the significant contributions to
the third party campaign funds the
past week were those of George W.
Perkins, a director of the Harvester
Trust, and Frank A. Munsey, of the
Steel Trust, for $15,000 each. Perkins
says that more will be forthcoming
when needed. He cannot be charged
with ingratitude.
The Harvester Trust was organized
during Roosevelt's administration with
a paper capitalization of one hundred
and thirty million dollars. The tangi
ble assets upon which this vast
amount of watered stock was issued
amounted at the time to only thirty
millions of dollars. Ex-Senator Hans
brough of North Dakota declares that
a word from Roosevelt, who was then
president, would have prevented the
formation of this great combine. But
the word was not spoken. The deal
went through and the farmers who buy
Harvester Trust Implements have been
helping to pay the dividends on this
extra one hundred millions of watered
stock ever since. Later in the Roose
velt administration the department of
justice, on its own initiative, was
about to begin prosecution against this
trust for violation- of the Sherman
law. But Mr. Perkins appealed to his
friend, President Roosevelt, and by
the president's personal order the pro
ceedings were stopped. -Mr. Perkins
has not been a power in the White
'House during the present administra
tion, and by direction of President Taft
a suit is now pending to dissolve the
Harvester Trust. Is it any wonder
that Mr. Perkins contributes liberally
to the third term campaign fund.
And is it any wonder that Mr. Frank
A. Munsey is equally liberal, when It
is remembered that he is a heavy
stockholder in the Steel Trust, whose
coffers were enriched to the extent of
sixty millions of unearned dollars by
the absorption of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company, its most danger
ous competitor an absorption which
a recent congressional Investigation
declares to have been plainly against
the law, and which never would have
been made except for the promise ob
tained in advance from President
Roosevelt that the Jaw would not be
invoked against It.
These are not campaign slanders.
They are acknowledged and undis
puted truths. And they are set down
here merely to make it clear why It
happens that George W. Perkins,-' a
director of the Harvester Trust, and
Frank A: Munsey, heavily interested
in the Steel Trust, can afford to be
generous with their funds in financing
the third term campaign. They found
Colonel Roosevelt a friend indeed
when he was last in the White House,
and from their point of view they are
fully warranted in drawing upon their
plethoric bank accounts to put him
back again.
A Word to the Farmers.
From the Leavenworth (Kan.)
Timest - :.
If the farmers want good times to
continue, they will vote for Taft. If
they want to take the chance of get
ting less for their crops, they will
vote for either Roosevelt or Wil
son. - - -
Some closa observer has remarked
that the longer Col. Roosevelt re
flects over his past life, the more cer
tain he Is that he never made a mis
take. You may have noticed that the colo
nel has no hard words for the bosses
who are for him. .
Domestic Diplomacy.
"Henry!"
"Yes. my dear." " r
"There's (50 cents missing from your
pay envelope."
"Yes, love.'.
"Well, what did you do with it?"
"Don't be- crazy, dearest v I'll ex
plain. You remember, don't you, that
I've been calling you up every day to
tell you how much I loved you?"
"I remember perfectly, but what has
that to do with the (50 cents?"
"Why, you see. sweetheart, the boss
charged me 10 cents for each telephone
call."

spiritual of the miners In many a labor difficulty, and so they made t

bood Chief among the well known men who gathered at Wilkesbarre to d(
him honor was Colonel Roosevelt whose friendship for Father Curran data
from the strike of 1902, when the priest was one of a committee that called
on the president and gained his consent to Intercede and bring about a peace

RAILROAD NOTES.
Judge R. S. Lovett, of the Harriman
lines, has completed a five week's tour
of inspection of the system.
Definite plans for a solution of the
vexations , problem of handling pas
senger and freight traffic ini Chicago
have been made. At a cost of $200,-,
000,000,- one-half of which is to be
used for the construction of passen-
ger and freight terminals, the chaotic j
situation as to railroad terminals will j
be straightened out. - i
It is understood that the "Soo" has i
purchased the Wisconsin & Michigan j
Railway, which runs from Peshligo to !
Iron Mountain. The deal, it is saicL
will be closed within a few days. The
Wisconsin & Michigan is a . former
John R. Walsh property, and was
bought by,' John Marsh, the contrac
tor, at mortgage sale several months
ago. With the acquisition of this
road various extensions are said to be
planned by the "Soo."
The Illinois Central, beginning Sep
tember 25, will run a special coach on
each colonist day from Cincinnati to
California points.- After the first day
the car will be run each Tuesday and
Friday, except the final limit, Octo
ber ,10, which falls on Thursday The
colonist rates to California have been
increased nearly $5. The increase
is due to the fact that the trans-continental
lines advanced the rate from
Kansas City.
The Interstate Commerce Commiss
sion hUs fixed September 25 as the
the Ohio Council, United Commercial
date for hearing a complaint made by
the Ohio Council, United Commercial
Travelers, against all the electric
lines in the state of Ohio., They want
the interurban lines to install sani
tary drinking systems and to pro
vide toilet, facilities on their cars.
The commission ; also . entered an
order following the Cleveland, South
western and Columbus ' Railway Com
pany to" increase the speed of cars
from 20 to 30 miles an hour between
Seville and WooSter and Mansfield
and Galion. .
Merchants and shippers all over the
United States are alarmed at athreat
ener freight car shortage which they
fear will seriously injure the winter
trade movement, which is rapidly as
suming most prosperous proportions.
A careful investigation, of the views
held by traffic officials of the railroads
and commercial organizations dis
closes the fact that the shortage of
equipment is already being felt
The various connecting routes of
the Eastern roads at Buffalo are suf
fering froni the insufficiency of the
Plate, Lake Shore" and all the other
roads reaching that point are clamor
ing for cars to tranfer their freight
OCTOBER 2, 1912.
Loud, Scoop
The Lackawanna is experiencing
great diffculty in this connection, the
available supply of cars on that road
being far from satisfactory.-
A new baggage check which is ex
pected to lessen the number, of errors
and complaints, has been put into
use on the Pennsylvania.
The duplicate portion of the new
check is provided with spaces in
which "are printed a number of the
principal "bad order" conditions in
which baggage is frequently received
for checking. A check, on being de
livered to a passenger, will be per
forated to show in detail the condi
tion in which the baggage was re
ceived. : It is expected that the use
of this new form of check liability of
mismatching numbers will be minimi
mized, delivery of "baggage expedited
and a number of claims greatly reduc
ed. .
Itching Palm Oil.
"Palm oil." a synonym for "graft" is
not at all a novelty in this sense. - In
1627 Middietou wrote that "palm oil
will make a pursuivant relent" The
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
reveled In varieties, of the metaphor.
Greene speaks of rubbing palms with
"the oile of angels," a humorous allu
sion to the coin named after the an
gelic figure stamped upon it, and "oil
of angels" seems to have been quite a
common joke in England. Another
writer has a reference to "anointing"
an ecclesiastic in the fist "with Indian
oyle." Both "anointing" and "greas
ing" were frequently " used to mean
bribing, even without special mention
of the hand as the "part greased. , '
