_VOL. LXXXV. RUOSEVELT'S DANGEROUS PROGRAM, Socialism or Civil War Will Attempt to Leguiize and Monopoly. In a leading editorial the New York World gives these expressions shared in by many who have studied the Roosevelt program : We do not believe that the Republic can safely experiment with the tre- mendous system of centralized and personal government that the Roose- velt policies iuvolve. We do not be lieve that the Republic can safely un- dertake to legalize and regulate mon- opoly. We believe that if the Roose- velt policies were ever firmly estab- ' lished in Washington, one of two things must inevitably happen ; Either a distracted people would gwing entirely over to Socialism or we should eventually have another e¢ivil war as the result of an irrepressible conflict between capital acd labor. For capital would as surely seize the National Government under the Roosevelt policy of legalizing and reg- ulating monopoly as slavery seized the National Government under the pol- fcy of legalizing and regulating slavery. These are great issues which have little to do with any individual. Mr. Roosevelt's programme is dangerous not because he is a third-term candi- date for President but because of the issues themselves—because of the cen- tralized personal government and the legalizad monopoly that are the breath and spirit of his propaganda. The more advocates it has the more dangerous it becomes, unless we are blindly mistaken as to ils probable consequences, and we cannot be mise taken unless all the experience pf hu- mau history suddenly counts for nothing. When Roosevelt announced his candidacy The World declared that the campaign would be a test of the American people's fitness for self- government under a Constitution of limited and delegated powers, The situation is unchanged. The test must be met, The issue must be sub- mitted to the calm and sober judg- ment of the American people at the polls in November. ———— ef or ————— Follow the Regulate Competent Man, From Houtzdale Citizen, James A.

The licenses will be sent out as rapidly as possible owing to the fact that on January 1, 1913, days of grace will be abolished. The latter order means that persons failing to display 1913 tags on and af ter January 1, will be liable to arrest, Heretofore thirty days have been al- lowed to owners in whieh to procure 1913 Aatomoblle Licenses, the olive green tags, of cars will be done away with as far name of but one person can be given a8 owner, operate the car must take out chaffeur licenses, It has been found that the privileges carried by joint ownership were much abused, On some applications for registration a dozen names were given as owners and all claimed the right to operate the car, possible, ion : Cough Remedy for fifteen years, says Enos Lollar of Baratoga, Ind, “ and consider it the best on the mar Repairs are now being made on the Bosalsburg Lutheran church.
