SOCIALISM
SEEN
AS
IN
BY EX-PRESIDENT
PHILADELPHIA, Fob. 11 Thnt
ooclnllimi Is tho central political ttsuo
to which tho country Is coming was
tho opinion expressed by cx-Prol-dent
Taft on an article on 'The futuro
of tho republican party" In this
week's Issue of tho Saturday Uvcn
Ing I'ost, Just out.
Tho ex-nresldent's view Is that his
partly not only Is not ilono for, hut
thnt Its greatest work Is before It, In
combatting this doctrine. Ho docs,
Indeed, outline for It a constructive
program, mentioning many of tho
things ho believes It should do when
next afforded an opportunity. "Hut
boforc and of higher Importance than
all of these," ho says, "Is tho rescua
of the country from tho serious dau
gcr to which It Is exposed In this at
tempted undermining of our stable
civil liberty."
Tho writer, In speaking of tho last
national election, refrains from using
tho first personal pronoun, referring
to himself instead as "tho republican
candidate." Ho did not, ho admits
freely, prove a strong vote- getter,
attributing his poor showing to tho
scvoro criticism nnd attack to which
he had been subjected throughout
the preceding four years, to "repre
sentations or misrepresentation" of
his personality, motives and sympa
thies and to "unfair accounts" of tho
Chicago convention, widely circulated
through Colonel Koosevclt's "genius
in the matter of securing publicity."

In temperature was reported today by
the weather bureau for the territory
lying between the Rocky Mountains
and the Great Lakes. oTmporalurcs
of from five to twenty-five degree
below zero, tho forecaster, said,
might be expected tonight.

reglstored 2S below zero. Qthor
middle-western temperatures ranged
from four abovo to ten below zero.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. The
nnvy department had become ex
tremely nnxitui-. today concerning in

uiiMieoefii effort to help the Amer
ican fi-diing fleet ftuck in n vast
Hoe in the Bay of Islands
Hundreds of wirelow culls to the

Sydney without n repone. A good
many official of the department be
lieved n dny or two mo that the
tug lind been smnhed by the ice
cakes and gone down with ii crew
of thirty-Mx men.
The more hopeful inclined to think,
however, thnt it was simply stuck

STEFANSSON SAYS
KARLUK IS SAFE
OTTAWA, Ont., Feb. 11. That the
Canadian Arctic exploring cel
Knrluk nnd it crew nre safe wns the
opinion expressed by Vilhjnlmer
Stefnnsson in n message received to
day from him by the government nil
thoritic, here.
The ship, presumably caught in the
ice, drifted nwny under cover of n
fog while Stefnnsson, who had
charge of the expedition, and three
companions were on the north Alas
kan eoat hunting. The (tiartet made
their way to Point Harrow, and when
tho latest message wns dipatched by
courier to Ottawa they were camped
at Collinson Point, engaged in scien
tific investigations.
The explorer sad lie thought the
Knrluk might drift a long dUtnnec,
but believed it would be heard from
in the course of the summer.
COXEY WOULD NOW LEAD
THE STATE OF OHIO
Ked Wntson will shortly get an
other chance to make or break him
self in the ling when ho wades into
Hud Anderson of the northwest n
week from next Fridav evening, Miy
the San Fnuici-co fall. It's going
to bo n full-Hedged, man's sizu
twenty-round contest. Tho winner
will hao n chance to do some fu
ture good for himself, while the loser
must cek refuge in the ush can of
pugilism.
This Wntson lad has had nil the
chances in the world, but lie has
been in the habit of tossing bloomer
after bloomer, and setting himself in
Dutch nil along the line. As Tom
Corhett says, "He's ns daffy as a
load, but at that he can fight, it
somebody would only take n wallop
at his with a dub every time he
tosses a big tetuu under his belt."
What we need here is some talent,
not only in the heavyweight division,
but in the oilier classes as well. Here
is u chaiico to shoot a couple to the
front. Anderson lone; has been pos
ing as a lightweight, but he has just
about as much chance of doing the
l;i.". pound figure as Fatty Hlodcs.
Now lie has finally gotten jerry to
himself ami is doing welterweight
stunts.
lloth are strong, rugged youngsters
who ought to be able to stand plenty
of the old guff nnd come back for
n fresh siw.i.y of it. If they winch
lied closely nnd cause him to lav off
all the rough stuff he should stand
np nnd give Anderson many u re
sounding wallop, while Anderson can
be counted upon to do the same by
him. Scientific methods will be ios
itivcly barred.
