LINDSEY SEES ROOSEVELT
Denver Man Says ei-Freeldent Told
Jllm He Might Accept.
DENVER. Feb. . The Rocky Moan
tain News tomorrow will publish a
statement by Judfcs Ben B. Linitsev.
who recently returned f rem the East.
In part as follows:
"Theodore Roosevelt wDl sccept the
Republican nomination Dor President.
This Is not because he wants It or seeks
It. but because the people are recall
ing him to a Job be left unfinished.
"The trend of events shaping to
ward this result bsre not been
brought about by anything Colonel
Roosevelt baa done, but in spite of
everything he could do honorably and
Justly to avoid It.
"I know this because of several visits
to his home In the last year. He told
me he would sccept the nomination If
the call came from the people.
"The friends of Roosevelt who es
poused the cause of 8enator La Fol
lette early In the campaign no doubt
did so because they knew, with Roose
velt eliminated, the hope of the pro
gressives' was In Senator La Follette.
However much the splendid campaign
of Senator La Follette has contributed
to the cause of the 'progressives.' they
must recojtnlse the utter Impossibility
of his nomination, and. therefore, the
Impossibility of detesting President
Taft for the nomination. except
through this overwhelming call of the
people for Colonel Roosevelt."
Judge Llndsey then explains his
connection with the Wood row Wilson
Club here and continues:
"Of course. I should be glsd to see
Oovernor Wilson receive the Demo
cratic nomination. He. is the ablest,
strongest and best man the Democrats
could put up and la the only man who
has the slightest chance, of succeeding
against Mr. Roosevelt. But my ad
miration of Mr. Roosevlt for all he
has accomplished and fkr what I be
lieve he Is going to accomplish. Is
such that I shsll support him as
sgalnst any man nominated by the
Democrats."
to the city officers and It makes pos
sible the placing of responsibility.
The possible application of the com
mission government to Portland brought
out some outbursts of Democratic senti
ment regarding the coming primaries
and finally resulted In J. Jiennessy
Murphy demanding that the Jackson
Club corns out of what he called a
"pussy-foot campaign" and announce
Itself In fsvor of candidates. He closed
with the statement that he believes the
club should Indorse Dr. Harry Lane for
Democratic candidate for Congress.
Much applause followed.
Wslter Campbell declared that H. B.
Van Duser la a very likely candidate
and would stand a chance of sweeping
the atate by a vote of three to one. He
also expressed the opinion that Gov
ernor Wilson Is very much In fsvor In
Oregon for the Presidential candidacy
on the Democratic ticket.
"I have traveled the state for a long
time." said Mr. Campbell." and have
looked Into the political situation care
fully. I have not seen a Democrat who
is not for Wood row Wilson." The an
nouncement brought great applause."
Mr. Van Duser announced that the
Democrats are preparing to conduct a
lively campaign thla year. He urged
party members to prepare not only for
the April primaries, but also for the
long campaign following that up to ths
general election in November.
"In the past." said Mr. Van Duser."
there have been many precincts where
on election day there have been no
clerks or Judges for the Democrsts.
This Is a condition which must be
eliminated. This Is particularly neces
sary this year because the Democratic
party will have more men on ths bal
lot probably than ever before."

CARNEGIE TAFT SUPPORTER
Laird of Skibo Refuses to Address
Roosevelt Mass Meeting.
NEW TORK. Feb. I. Andrew Car
negie today declined an Invitation by
telegraph to address the Roosevelt state
mass convention at Oklahoma City next
Saturday. In his reply Mr. Carnegie
declared he was an out-and-out sup
porter of President Taft.
Mr. Carnegie's answer, sent to A.
K. Perry, the temporary chairman of
the Oklahoma organization, reads:
"Thanks for your invitation to ad
dress the Roosevelt stale mass meet
ing. Oklahoma. I beg to say that I
am an out-and-out supporter of my
friend Roosevelt's chosen favorite for
the Presidency, who has so fully Jus
tified the econiums he lavished upon him.
It would be unfair not to give Presi
dent Tsft a second term and I cannot
believe ex-President Roosevelt Is not of
this opinion. After Taft has served
two terms it will be time enough to
propose a successor.

CONVICTS TO BE CHANGED
Washington Board to Send 25 Men
to Reformatory.
OLTMPIA. Wash-. Feb. . (Special.)
It was announced today that the
tate Board of Control, following a con
ference with Warden G S. Reed, of the
State Penitentiary, and Superintendent
C. B. Roef. of the State Reformatory.
Intends to transfer Si prisoners at
Walla Walla to tbs reformatory at
Monroe. The prlaoners In question are
deemed worthy of special conditions, as
all are "first timers."
This Is expected to settle the friction
between the two Institutions. The board
and the beads of the 11 Washington
state Institutions also have agreed upon
a set of business rules to be followed
by all. which, it Is believed, will bring
shout a more systematic check of sup
plies and aid the board In buying Its
semi-annual stocks for the institution.
COMMISSION PLAN IS UP
Democrats Discus System at Regu
lar Meeting.
The commission form of government
and bow It works out was the subject
of consideration Friday night by the
Jackson Club at its regular semi
monthly meeting bejd In the Medical
building. Richard W. Montague led the
discussion with a resume of the present
forms of city government and a brief
atatrment of the advantages of the
commission government. He declsred
the government by a few commissioners
brings ths affairs of ths city nearer
the people by making It possible for
them to vote for a ferw substsntlal men
whom they know Instead of "a grsat
horde of elective office-holders whom
they do not know." He said the com
mission government gives ail the power
LITTLE FALLS, Wash, Feb. I. (To
the Editor.) New "progresslvlsm" Is
old Populism.
The essence of Populism was Gov
ernment interference with business.
The Government should provide ware
houses for storing the farmer's pro
duce and advance him money on It so
he could hold for higher prices. The
Government should coin all silver of
fered snd compel its circulation at a
false and arbitrary valuation. This
was called "free" silver. The mind that
entertalna one fallacy will greedily
seise some other when the first Is
abandoned. Since the passing of the
free silver erase another has been de
veloping involving the same idea of
Government Interference. Trusts should
be restricted, big business curbed, rail
roads regulated.
Now If you swallowed ths green
back doctrine and later Indulged in ths
free sliver erase, you should Join these
so-called progressives or new Nation
alists, nominate Bryan and La Follette
on the same ticket, adopt for a plat
form, as ths Populists did. the La
mentations of Jeremiah, and try to
penalise all successful bustness men. A
course like this produced a panlo in
1393 and is causing slack times now.
A man will listen to a Socialist ora
tor and say. "I don't believe In all of
Socialism, but I think some of their
ideas are good." Socialism, being a doc
trine of regulation for everything, will
appeal somewhere to the average man
who will want some other fellow reg
u la ted. While it Is too Impracticable
to win. it is influencing the trend of
thought. Our Government is expected
to do more and more things. A billion
dollars a year is twice aa much aa it
cost In Cleveland's first administra
tion. Oregon's amount this year is
higher than ever and Portland's expen
ditures continue to Increase. This
course of extending the activities of
government. when "the Individual
withers and the state Is more and
more." Herbert Spencer calls "the com
ing slavery." All government is re
strlctlon and a much-regulated indi
vidual, as in Germany, is not free.
But the Socialists are more logical
than those who advocate merely such
things as Government regulation of
railroad rates or operation of public
utilities, for ir it can handle the most
difficult business well, then it should
be given all business to handle. Lang
ley's airship. Government-built, wss
expensive, large and Impressive, ex
citing great expectations. It's only
fault was it would not fly. Wright'!
airship was small and unimpressive,
Its. only merit was that it would By.
But faith In Government agencies never
falters. Some still advocate Govern
ment regulaaon of aviation and ap
propriations to advance the science. A
wall comes from settlers on Govern
ment irrigation projects that work Is
delsyed Interminably and coats run far
above first estimate. Government la
the best agency we have for adminis
tering Justice and the poorest we have
for carrying on business. But Congress
Is too busy with other matters to con
slder a reform of Judicial procedure.
Political economists have heretofore
pointed to ths United States as a shin
Ing example of freedom in trade. Forty-eight
nations without customs bar
riers among them have allowed pri
vate enterprise to develop her Indus
tries in a wonderful degree. Her rail
roads, without Government regulation,
have given her the best land trans
portation mankind has ever achieved,
nearly half the railroads of the world
being in her borders, with freight
rates averaging lower than on the gov
ernment-owned or regulated roada of
Europe. But the exceptional always
attracts more attention than the usual
or general features. At Suramervllle,
Gs. the people gathered In a church
and prayed that the railroads be in
duced to send more cars to help them
save an enormous peach crop. Some,
however, said prayer was useless, for
Ood had never bad anything to do with
running the railroads In the United
States. But this condition was im
proved. It Is against the Interest of
ths railroads to put a man out of
business and they Ox their rates and
give accommodations accordingly.
But if the Government regulates the
rates the next question Is. who shall
regulate the Government! If your
competitor does, he will see thst you
are given high rates and poor aceora
modationa to keep your business from
growing too fast. This drives business
Into politics, for politics is only the ef
fort to control Government. No lsws
are passed to subsidise or "protect"
this or that church. So having noth
ing to gain or to lose, the big churches
in America do not spend barrels of
money to influence legislation. When
the sams free and fair principle of the
open market for everybody la adopted
In business, then big business will stay
out of politics and not before.
Monopolies do not thrive In an open
market. In the plumbing business a
tariff keeping foreign goods out. local
taxes restricting the trade to a few
commission men and licenses required
to do plumbing work hsve made this
one of the closest monopolies. Other
monopolies are also Government made.
The "progressives" offer as a cure
larger doses of the medicine which pro
duced the disesse. What hope of lib
erty through them when tbey have
shown in the matter of Canadian reci
procity their strong opposition to free
dom? One had better "stand pat' than
travel In the wrong direction with
"progressives" and Socialists.

WOMEN TAKE NOTICE !
A sua cannot understand the torture and suffering many women endure
uncomplainingly. If the majority of men suffered as much pain and endured with
patience the weakening sioknesses thst most women do, they would ask for
immediate sympathy and look (or a quick cure.
Many women have been ssved from a life ol misery and suffering by turning
to the right remedy Dr. Pierce's Fsvorlte Prescription a remedy which is ssfe
to tska because containing no narcotics, alcohol or injurious ingredients. It is an
alterative extraot of roots, made with pare glyoerin, and first given to the publio
by that famous specialist in the diseases of women Dr. R. V. Pierce, of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y.
Mas. Lizzie M. Hkssheimir, of Lincoln, Neb., 520 "O" St.,
says: "I send a testimonial with much pleasure so that soma
suffering woman may know the true worth of your remedies.
I was a great sufferer from female troubles but after taking
one bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which a
friend advised me to take, I found myself very much im
proved. After taking three more bottles, ana using two
boxes ot Dr. Pierce's Lotion Tablets, I found myself on the
road to recovery. I was in poor health for five years but
now I am cured.
I hope all women suffering from female weakness will
give Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription a fair trial.
