THINGS TO ItEMKMDKIt. Read the following: utterances of Theodore Roosevelt self-call- ed candidate for a third term as president of the United States, and calmly consider them and all that they mean before you make up your mind to cast your vote for him for president: "On (lie Fourth of Mmvli next I shall liavo nerved three and one-half yctii'M, mid (his three and one-half yours constitute my first term. The wise custom which limits the president to two lerniH constitute the substance and not (he form, nnd under no fircuiuMlniicCM will I he a chii dldiito for, nor iiccept another nomination. "Any man who stiwrts the receiver of stolen goods stands on a level with the receiver of stolen goods. He Is a dishonest man and unfit to associate with honest men." Third term iiui- dldate referring to Iresident 'lull, and the loyal Republicans of the country. The, above lit- t era nee was made in a speech at Jjamnr, Missouri, on .Monday, Sepleinljer 23. "1 have noticed a number of Taft hndges in your town, and they arc the appropriate color of yellow. The man who puts one on shows thai lie has a yel low streak somew here." Third term candidate In speech at Springfield, Missouri, Monday, SeplenilMT 2:1, A SUCCESSFUL ADMINISTRATION 'I he charge has often been made by the enemies of President Taft that he Is the friend of "big business nnd the "interests," and is against the common people. This assertion is the stock and trade of Theodore ItOKwevelt who hopes to ride Into the presidential office for a third term on a tidal wave which shall over whelm the Republican party. Let us forget, for a moment, our partisan prejudice nnd investigate this oft repeated declaration. It is not nec essary to consult the politicians in this Investigation, but only to take the facts us we find them to discover that there never was a more unjust necusatlon made against any public ollielal. It is a fact, that, during the ad ministration of President Taft the first organized and determined effort against tlie trusts has been instituted and suit after suit has been tiled against the unlawful combinations in restraint of trade. These actions have been begun under tho Sherman anti trust law which he found on the stat ute books, placed there during the administration of Theodore Roose velt who did absolutely nothing to want enforcing it, rather in one In stance directing his attorney general to withdraw a suit instituted against the Harvester trust. With character i.iic iiiircpiuiiy j resiucni jalt began to enforce it without fear or favor i.y his courage in enforcing the taw, lie has Incurred the active ha- ireu ut tne trust magnates, and it is an open secret that the latter is try UK in t'licompasa nis dcieiit lor re election. In proof of this assertion it Is only necessary to call attention to the Publishers or .Magazine trust mere is proitahly no medium through which so much abuse has been dis- -in icg against I'resuiont Jalt as through the muck-raking magazines of this country. They have tried In cer possiiile manner to poison the minds of tho public against him niei among his detractors is Frank A. .Munsey head of n string of ma nzim-a and publications that absolut ly nictate to,- terms and the condi tions which prevail in the magazine publishing Held, (if course Mr. Jlun- cy is woiKtng merely In the inter ests 01 mo people, when lie employs special muck-raking writers like St. (Tens who figured so uncredihly in the labor trial in I.os Angeles, and ot tiers of his ilk! Sure! The president sent a message to congress directed at this great maga zine trust. It was pointed out In this message that of die annual deficit of (lie postal department $63,000,000 (hereof was due to the fact that the magazine publisher were paving that amount less than the actual cost to (lie Kovernment of carrying their magazines (hreugh (be mails. Talk ab.iiu speeial privileges here was a (rust that was receiving (hem In chunks which am. unit, d t IS300O. ueti a year, nnd yet Room. .lt. when he was chief executive, failed (i make a move against (he abuse, nor itnl he howl about ' Kp.vi.il .rii- ..

The form y nrral cemm. need a auit againxt the trurt as .ein an 11 ! k.jI combination In restraint of trade. It deveJ-l .roc-edinii that th trust to maintain a blacklist upon which was placed the name of every retail dealer in periodicals who dar ed to sell any publication Issued by the trust at a less sum than the pub lisher's retail price. Think of it! The upllfters maintaining a black list! And the president dared ex pose the fact. Frank A. Munsey, ac knowledged head of this trust Is a staunch supporter of Theodore Roose velt and fills the columns of his string of publications with abuse of President Taft. There are scores of them and they have all felt the activ ity of the president of these United States who has dared to expiose them and eliminate the special privileges which they so long enjoyed and which thrived under the administration of Roosevelt. No wonder they are sup porting the third term candidate. Hut the fight went on and, for the first time in its history, the postal de partment of the government was con ducted without a deficit. That surely Is somehting worthy of commendation under the adminlstrat tlon of President Taft. Others may be briefly mentioned. Postal savings banks have been established in which $30,000,000 of the people's money have been deposited thus far. Rail roads have been prevented from put ting rate increases Into effect without the approval of the Interstate Com merce Commission. While this leg islation was pending, an effort was made on the part of certain trunk lines to increase rates. Rut a tem porary injunction was obtained by the attorney general pending the en actment of the legislation and, under the new law the road's application to Increase their rates was refused by the commission. The railroads roundly denounced the president and the attorney-general for the stand they took in protecting the rights of shippers. A Bureau of Mines has been established so as to safeguard the lives of miners. The Panama Canal is being rushed to completion without scandal of any kind. It is to be toll-free to American ships engag ed in coastwise traffic and railroad owned ships are to be excluded. Our foreign markets have been extended so that our foreign trade during the last fiscal year reached the enormous aggregate 01 $ ;i,uuo,uuu,uuu, wnne tne balance of trade In our favor totaled $550,000,000, the largest excess of ex ports over Imports in the history of our country. An income tax amend ment to the Federal Constitution has been submitted to the several states for approval. An amendment for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people has been sub mitted to the states for their ratifi caion. The employers' liability law has been sustained in the courts and its provisions have been extened so that the employes of railroad carri ers may bring suits in any district in which defendant was doing busi ness at the time of the commence ment of the action. A movement for the issuance of bonds for the comple tion of irrigation projects in the West has been approved. Millions of dol lars have been saved the taxpayers by the inauguration of modernized methods by the various executive de partments of the government. P.uek- et shops and get-rich-qutck Concerns have been destroyed. Laws for the publication of campaign expenses and contributions before and after elections, which include primary as well as general elections have been approved. The Observer could fill columns re garding the good, genuine reforms that have been accomplished under the administration of President Taft, but these are sufficient to convince any reasonable man of the truth of the statement that the present has been one of the most successful ad ministrations, as regards the actual benefits to the people generally, in the history of the country. liel'ore you decide to east your vote with the opposition just Investigate what Interests are behind Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Wilson. Compare the actual results obtained under the former president with the present, and com pare the present prosperous condi tions with those which existed when last the Democratic party controlled this government and put its theories Into effect. Think twice before you vote to change all this for an experiment.

MARTIN, Pres. . fe printing mnt among lhi among (he court re a an trfc- niemhera .f the Tbe Hull Moose convention at Portland Saturday was a hilarious af fair and several fist lights were nar rowly averted. The same tactics have marked all tile conventions of the third-termers. it's the struggle be tween the patriots who have been repudiated by the voters, invariably, after terms at the public udder, or by others who never have been able to garner sufficient votes to get any where, and the real, honest element of the party who are anxious only for the success of Colonel IJoosevelt or Wilson. It's the usual struggle of the rug-tag and bobtail of the old parties for olllce. always a part and parcel of incipient third party movements.
