LaFollette After Taft's Scalp, A Kept
Promise, and Other Interesting
Items.
- Regu'ar Correspondent of the Courier.
Washington, Sept. 4 Has
Taft commiiteed suicide? Has he,
in renewing his warfare on the in
surgents, committeed a fatal politi
cal blunder, both for himself and
the Republican parry generally?
These queries have aroused dis
cussions that are raging like a
blizzard of words in political circles
ail over the United States.
Still another question that is be
ing asked and re-asked, especially
by republicans, is: If the President
does succeed in driving the pro
gressives out of the republican
party, where will he drive them
to?
And the conclusion most gener
ally reached is ihat it is written on
the cards that the next President
is to be a democrat. It is practic
ally that if a standpatter is nomi
nated, the progressives will smash
him; and if a progressive is nomi
nated, the standpatters smash
him.
What makers the situation still
more hopless for the Republicans
is that the 1 912 campaign issue is
to be the tariff, the one subject
on which the two factions can not
get together.
Laffollett After Taffs Scalp, j
Senator Robert M. LaFollette
will give President Taft a hard
race for the 1912 nomination.. -It
is declared that the ' Wisconsin
senator believes absolutely tMt
will win.
The progressive republican or
LaFollette headquarters in Wash
ington is a bee-hive of industry.
From this headquarters the pro-
gressives are being organized- m
cverv nook and corner in the
('country. It is possible to present
!
thods by which the $228,000 was
saved.
We do not believe we crippled
the operations of the House by
abolishing the positions of a couple
of telegraph operators who had
not put their hands to an . instru
ment in years. We do not believe
we crippled this house by abolish
ing about 20 policemen who
never could be founcL around the
capitol or by abolishing places
supposed to be held by
men in this building and carried
on the payrolls, drawing $900 to
$1,000 a year, who were working
at the same time in real estate
offices in the city of Washington, j
We have simply made the opera
tion of this House honest."
Taft's Record "Indefensible.
Nearly three fourths of Mr.
Taft's term of office has passed
into history. He has sufficient
time to have made progress on
lines along which he promised to
proceed when he was a candidate ,
for. the high office he holds. He'
made his campaign on a tariff re-
Vision downward issue, and' to
day the country, is in the grasp of ;
a higher tariff tax than ever be-!
fore in its history, in-spite of the!
fact that the president has had J
... K I
two separated and intinct oppor
Unities to keep his word. In his
three years of office President
Taft can be credited with having
kept Ballinger in office until the
country wTas nauseated: to have
almost succeeded in his attempt
to give Alaska away to the Gug
genheims, and with having quiet
ly co-operated with the food dop
ersTniheir campaign to drive Dr.
Harvey W. Wiley out of public
life. To this "indefensible" re
i cord should be added the presi
dent's action in framing rejected
peace treaties with two nations
with who we are not in the slight
est danger of ever going to war.

There will be ,big aggressive
fights for lillinois, Indiana,
Wyoming and Nevada.
The southern states will be
pressed to take up the anti-Taft
fight, on the ground that Taft's
nomination will be equivalent to
defeat, and that the party hopes
for continuance of the loaves and
fishes of patronage of southern
states, it must give its support to
the nomination of a man with'a
chance to win.
A Kept Promise.
When the democratic House of
Represehtatives convened Speak
er Champ Clark announced that a
saving of $182,000 would be ef
fected . by the application of
economical .business methods in
the running of the House. The
republicans scoffed at the idea.
They said it couldn't be done.
But cn the Sday of adjournment
Chairman Fitzgererald of the Com
mittee on Appropriations, an
nounced that instead of the promis
ed $182,000 having been saved,
the amount was $228,000! "We
do not believe that we crippled
the House by abolishing a place

had been held for years by a 16

Jersey, the corporation which has
been the storm center of antitrust
agitation through the country for
years, today passed out of exis
tence, so far as its present form
and functions are considered. Af
ter today this famous corporation
ceases officially to carry on its op-
1 erations as the head of a vast or
ganizations whose activities extend
into almost every part of the
world. In obedience to the decree
of dissolution of the Supreme court
it relinquished its control of the
subsidary concerns, and today
was the date set for the old regime.

taining the list of stockholders in
the parent organization as on re
cord at that time.
The work of apporation the
companies' holdings of the stock
of more than 30 snbsidiaries af

months, it is expected, so that the
readjustment will not be domplete
prior, to December 1.

We have sold many brands of corsets with
varviner success but we have never handled
a line that came any where near giving the 1
universal satisfaction tnat the celebrated
i lhomsons blove httiM.
has given. We have yet to hear the first
complaint. We have been handling them
almost exclusively for four years and today
we are selling twice as many corsets annual
ly as we were when we began selling Thom
son's Glove Fitting. The reason for this is
that they are the best corsets made, that is,
they have more good points combined.
They Are Stylish, Comfortable and
Serviceable.
A new shipment of the newest and most
popular models has just come in. We shall
be pleased to show them to you.
