FACTS OF HISTORY
WHY REPUBLICANS MUST NOT
BE OVER-CONFIDENT.
Three Instances Which Show Danger
of Allowing Democrats to Secure
Control of Congress—Party
Must Exert Itself.
"Cheer up. boys," certain Repub
lican politicians are saying to their
followers. "The outlook for Novem
ber is Improving, but even if the Dem
ocrats win they are sure to make such
use of their victory as to destroy their
chances for 1912. They can't stand
prosperity. Blundering is their forte,
and they are usually on time."
Underrating the enemy is poor gen
eralship. The Democrats have com
mitted many blunders, but they do not
always blunder. On several important
occasions in the past 30 years they
have followed up one victory with an
other.
In 1874 they carried the house, and
two years later came within one elec
toral vote of carrying the presidency.
No congressional slip of theirs on the
eve of the Tilden campaign weakened
them with the country. They secured
a popular majority in 1876.
In 1882 they carried the house, and
in 1884 elected Mr. Cleveland presi
dent. The ""Morrison-Randall division
on the tariff did not show in the presi
dential campaign. Upon the whole.
Speaker Carlisle guided his house
forces rema»rkably well during tlia
first session of the Forty-eighth con
gress, and distinguished himself as a
presiding officer.
In 1890 the Democrats carried the
house by an enormous majority, there
by dicrediting for the moment the
work of the strongest Republicans in
the country outside of the White
House. Thornas B. Reed had revised
the rules, and his lieutenant, William
McKinley, had revised the tariff, and
had they held their ground in the con
gressional elections of that year, Gen.
Harrison would probably have been
reelected president two years later.
But they lost to the Democrats, who,
organizing the new house on conserva
tive lines, helped materially to place
the party in good position for Mr.
Cleveland's third campaign. Judge
Crisp in the speaker's chair was an
assurance against extremism or flighty
maneuvers.
A Democratic house, sitting from
December, 1911, until the following
summer, might queer the party for its
presidential contest, but here are
three instances warning the Republic
ans against putting such • a result
down as a sure thing. Responsibility
sobers men. It has been 18 years
since the Democrats elected either a
house or a president. Wh(le a vic
tory now would be sweet, and might
tempt extremists to folly, it would
have a sobering effect on the great
majority of the Democratic party and
probably prevent them front playing
into the hands of the opposition.
The only correct appraisement of
this year's contest is that which
makes it the opening of the presi
dential campaign. If the Republicans
would go into the greater engagement
with confidence, they should exert
themselves to the utmost to hold the
advantage they now possess. Relying
upon the enemy to commit an act of
folly at a critical time is neither mag
nificent nor war.—Washington Star.
Republicans Welcome Fight.
For the Republicans thero could be
nothing better than a square fight on
the tariff question next fall. The
more the Democrats and the insur
gents discussed the question, the
weaker would their cause become.
Every semblance of popular opposi
tion outside Democratic lines to the
provisions of the present law has
arisen from misrepresentation of
what those provisions are. The Dem
ocrats and the insurgents cannot af
ford to let the light shine, to let the
! truth be told about the existing law.
To tell the truth about the tariff would

STATE TO BE REPUBLICAN
Oklahoma More Than Likely to Lln«
Up With the Party of Good
Government.
The unity among the Republicans
of Oklahoma means that they will
carry the state in November. In the
state convention the Payne tariff
act as well as the Taft adminis
tration was praised In the platform,
and an appeal was made to all the
members of the party to get together
in favor of the state ticket and of
the candidates for congress. The
state ticket, It Is safe to say, will be
composed of capable and popular men.
The party is In much better shape
than It was In the state election of
1907 or In the presidential campaign
of 1908.
"I send greetings to the Republic
ans of Oklahoma," said Mr. Taft, in
a telegram to the convention,"and
sincerely hope that their organiza
tion will be effective to redeem the
state, and to make Republican prin
ciples victorious in the next election."
There is a strong probability that this
aspiration will come true. Gov. Has
kell has been a very heavy load for
the Democrats of the state to carry.
Some of his eccentricities compelled
the Democratic national committee
in 1908 to remove him from his posi
tion as one of Bryan's campaign man
agers. His queer conduct in the state
capital flght, now "on," has added
to the number of his Democratic and
Republican enemies. Although he
will not be a candidate for re-elec
tion, his record will turn thousands
of votes against the Democratic ticket.
The Republican party in Oklahoma
is growing with great rapidity. It is
growing from two sources—from im
migration from Missouri, Kansas, Illi
nois and other Republican communi
ties, and from the secessions from the
Democrats which the lunacies and fol
lies of Haskell and the Democratic
machine Incite. Haskell carried the
state by >7,000 in 1907, but that was
before Oklahoma had a chance to be
come acquainted with him. Bryan's
lead in 1908 was only 11.000, and
Bryan was more popular in the south
west than any other Democratic can
didate would have been. In 1907 the
Republicans elected only one out of
Oklahoma's five members of the
house of representatives. They elect
ed three out of the five in 1908.
Thoughtful Oklahoma Democrats are
anxious to raise the social quarantine
which Haskell's fantastics have erect
ed against their state, and will co-op
erate with the Republicans for this
purpose. November 8, 1910, promises
to see a good day's work done for Ok
lahoma and for the Republican party.
Truly remarkable is the record of
legislative achievements made by con
gress during the session now drawing
to a. close. In many respects, It is
without a parallel in recent congres
sional history. In a single session
nearly all the pledges made by the Re
publican party in Its last national
platform have been fulfilled.—Cincin
nati Enquirer.
TARIFF TO BE THE QUESTION
Parties Sure to Line Up on That at
the Coming Congressional
Elections.
To say that the Republican politi
cians In congress are pleased with the
outcome, is putting it too mildly. They
are overjoyed with the results of the
session and buoyantly hopeful of the
future.
What about the Democrats? Well,
the Republicans say that the chief as
sets of the Democracy are calamity
and mistakes of the Republican party,
and they don't see a visible supply of
either asset In this Instance. The
Democratic campaign will be made
solely upon the tariff. It Is thought,
and on that Issue the Republicans are
willing to meet them in open field and
fair flght.
The Republican party Is to stand up
for the tariff legislation of this con
Kress, supplemented, as it was, by
the provision for an Investigation and
comparison of cost of foreign prod
ucts, with a view to future reductions
In the tariff where they can be shown
to h' warranted with due considera
tion of tie welfare of the American
workingioan.
The Democrats are still hopeful ot
arousing the country upon tin* nil* *r«*d
iniquities of the tariff legislation of
this congress. The Republicans will
meet their advance more than hall
way.
Republicans contend that the action
of the Minnesota state convention de
fending the tariff legislation, shows
the sentiment In the supposedly weah
■voslern states, and they Insist that
It Indii ales the existence of a seuti
I,out favorable to the system of the
protective tariff with a wtIIIhk»*--><• '<•
trust the administration to smooth
( ut In. qualities lu the future, and, at
any rate, not to turn the Job over tc
the Democrats.

| IN THE LIMELIGHT j
| TO HEAP MONEY HEPTARCHY
~| J. Plerpont Morgan, Jr., whom Thomas Ryan
says is to head an American financial heptarchy,
recently has been visiting some of the vast prop
ffin erty Interests to which he Is to fall heir. Young
V" Morgan marveled at the huge steel plants In
Pittsburg, a part of the United Stater. Steel cor
poration—the trust —which Is controlled by Ma
if y. p'J father. He also visited the mills at Gary, lnd„
|tg W: Js which are growing so rapidly, and found much
WmpprG I to ponder over there.
jFtiku,'f" Although the impression Is far from general,
y° un S Morgan is in many ways much like his fa
ther. He may not have the latter's organizing
MS. 'vS l If | genius; that remains to be seen.
/TiVjK/ ll But he as dominating personality and ap
' I titude for business that mado the elder Mor
gan even a decade ago and before he crowned
his organization exploits with the formation of the greatest of all industrial
combinations—the United States Steel corporation—such a towering figure
in the financial world. And tor years the younger man has taken an active
part In the affairs of both the London and New York houses of J. P. Morgan
& Co. But it was not until a year ago that J. P. Morgan, Jr., entered the do
main of corporate finance and management.
His election to the directorate and finance committee of the United States
Steel corporation and his entrance to the National City bank board of direc
tors indicated unmistakeably the purpose of the father to familiarize the son
with more important views than devolved upon him in the ordinary routine of
even so great a banking concern as that of J. P. Morgan & Co. Young Mor
gan Is much like his father, physically, as well as mentally. He is tall, ro
bust and fine looking. The temperaments of the two men, however, have
little in common. Morgan, Sr., is brusque and saturnine. Morgan, Jr., la
genial. What is called personal magnetism is one of the assets that have
made him extremely popular in both business and society.
He is also an athlete and outdoor man, this heir to 1300,000,000 and the
most lucrative banking business in the world, and an ardent sportsman. Sel*
dom does he miss the New York Yacht club's races on Long Island sound,
where even in the worst of weather and in his oilskins, looking like the hardi
est of Gloucester fishermen, he handles his smart 30-footer Ibis in masterly
fashion.
GORST EGYPT'S REAL RULER
The famous speech which C6l. Theodore Roose
velt made in London, following the one which he
£ made in Egypt, has attracted attention to that
if country, and to Sir Eldon Gorst, British agent and
consul general in Egypt, who was the real ruler
' n t^la t P art of John Bull's domain.
Sir Eldon Gorst succeeded Lord Cromer in
jwiy Egypt a little more than three years ago, but
previously he had had much experience in that
country. He first went to Cairo in 1886 as an
y 1 attache and has been promoted gradually to his
present position. The criticism agalust him i 3
/ill.lll/mfr*. that he ' s to ° conci ' lator y; that he has not been
sufficiently firm in dealing with the Nationalist
press which even goes so far as to advocate as-
V'wrTy / /I'f'llf I'' >''/ sassination of the British government represent
atives. He is a native of New Zealand and is for
ty-nine years of age. Recently Sir Edward Grey, foreign secretary in the Brit
ish cabinet, eulogized Gorst and his administration of Egyptian uffairs, but in
spite of this Gorst is to be replaced by Sir Arthur Hardinge, cousin of the
newly-appointed viceroy of India. There is an effort to make it appear tha{
the Roosevelt speech had nothing to do with Gorst's removal, but the people
generally accept the idea that the government is taking the ex-prsident's ad
vice and will rule In Egypt with a curb bit in the future.
Egypt owes her present prosperity to the security which comes with the
"foreign joke," but there exists a Nationalist party, the ambition of which is
Independence. Mr. Roosevelt, in addressing these Nationalists, bluntly told
them they were not fit for self-government and would not be lor several gen
erations.
In England, Mr, Roosevelt followed this up by telling the British their du
ty was plain. In effect he said that If Great Britain had 110 right in Egypt It
should get out. If it had a right there, then it should rule with a firm hand
and establish and maintain order at all costs.
| OLD GUERRILLA CHIEF OUT
r-~~ ~—~~~~~~~~ ~~t Col John S. Mosby, the famous Confederate
guerrilla of Civil war days has lost his position as
a special attorney In the department of Justice,
after eight years there.
In the absence of Attorney General Wicker
sham no explanation was made at the depart
ment. Old age, thnt nightmare of superannuated
government employees. It Is understood, was the
main reason for the dismissal.
Col. Mosby Is about seventy-three years of age
To his old friends he appears active and energetic.
He has been blind in one eye slnco he was a
young man.and lately has been getting deaf.
The colonel's history as a tlghtiug man, nls
, achievements with a small band of guerrillas dur
ing the great war between the states, has given
him a place in history that has marked him for
distinction for many years. lie was appointed a special attorney of the de
partment early in the first part of the Roosevelt administration, and was as
signed to break up the cattlemen's operations against government lands In
the middle west. His fearlessness lu this work, In spite of numerous threats,
won him the approbation of President Roosevelt. The colonel was one of the
Investigators of the case which recently led to the sensational changes mado
b> Senator Gore, and his dismissal so soon at'lerwurd Is regarded as signifi
cant.
Colonel Mosby became a Republican some lime after the Civil war, be
lieving that to be the best method for securing concessions to the south. Hm
was a special favorite of General Grant, who kept him lu the best federal po
sitions to he hud ami consulted him often as to Important government
matters.
