What would a change mean to
YOU?
Jt would change certain prosper
ity, busy mills and factories, and
plenty of work, for probably the
same conditions that existed the
year before Mr. Taft became Presi
dent. And It might bring back the
misery of 1893, when we discovered
that It makes no difference how
cheap a thing is If we have no money
with which to buy it!
Do you want to risk that AGAIN?
Do you want to keep on getting

Do. you want Mr. Taft and his
common-sense, 'business-like Tariff
Board, that will forever stop all this
tariff .disturbance? Or do you want
"a change" to a President who either
cares nothing at all about tho tariff,
like the third term candidate who for
seven and a half years absolutely
Ignored tho needs and wishes of the
people, or to one that will kick tho
whole tiling to piece's, blindly and
recklessly, like the Democratic can

Have a care, friend! Have a care!

ERAL ASSEMBLY.
H. Clark Jackson.
IT'S EITHER TAFT OR WU,SON.
Either Mr. Taft or Mr. Wilson
will be elected.
The issue is between the Republi
can and the Democratic parties and
principles.
The so-called "third party" Is an
individual not a party. It repre
sents merely Roosevcltism. It Is
"obstructive," not "progressive."
Tho self-created candidacy of Mr.
Roosevelt Is In dofiance of revered
tradition; in violation of precedent;
is purely and Bolely personal; and
will' be and should be unmistakably
censured.
Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy Is
founded on a broken pledge to the
people that he "would not again seek
the presidential office; and on a
broken 'friendship for Mr. Taft,
which dates from tho time ho found
that Mr. Taft refused to be dominat
ed or dictated to.
The purpose of Mr. Roosevelt is
clearly apparent it is merely to
defeat Mr. Taft.
A vote for Mr. Roosovolt Is worse
than a wasted vote, for It simply
means a vote for Air. Wilson and
for tho Democratic party.
What, then, are the plain, practi
cal issues of tho campaign?
What are wo YOU to vote for?
You are to chooso between tho
policies as well as the personalities
of Mr. Taft and Mr. Wilson.
These TWO, and only these two.
(Because a Roosevelt vote Is a Wil
son voto. )
You are to say by your Tote
whether you prefer Taft, and Safe
ty or Wilson, and Danger!
A vote for Mr. Taft and his poli
cies Is a vote to continue our pres
ent prosperity to settle tho tar
in problem for all time by taking
It out of the bands of politicians and
putting it on a business basjs to
strengthen and perfect our control
of tho trusts to uphold economy
and efficiency of government service.
To vote for Mr. Wilson and the
Democratic party Is to invite a re
turn of exactly tlio same influences
that demoralized tho entire country
In 1893.
Again wo eay, " Let us hold fast
to that which wo know Is good."

WILSON AND PENSIONS.
(From the Omaha Bee.)
To the Editor of the Bee: Being a
reader of the Bee, I would like
space in which to speak of the letter
written to Woodrow Wilson by Hoke
Smith of Georgia, in which ho asked
Mr. Wilson to state how he stood on
the pension question. His reply Is
as follows:
"Will say In answer to your In
quiry as to pensions that I am very
much opposed to the great expense
In the increase of pensions. I am
not in favor of anyone drawing a
pension who Is financially able to
take care of himself. I am In favor
of all old soldiers, who are not ablo
to work and have not means to take
care of themselves, being sent to the
Soldiers' Homo In the State In
which they live. I think that all of
those who are ablo to take care of
themselves should bo dropped from
tho rolls. If I should bo elected I
will do all In my power to keep the
expenses of tho Government down to
the lowest notch. As to the Confed
erate soldiers, I am in favor of each
State passing a bill to pension all
of those that are not able to take
care of themselves."
This was taken from a newspaper
printed In Georgia.

nesses Hubbard Discharged.
The Hubbard-Dolphln homlcldo
case was brought to a close this
morning. The Jury brought In a
verdict of "Not Guilty" after being
out forty minutes. Tho testimony
is taken up hero where it was left
in our last issue, beginning with
Tuesday afternoon.
When court opened Tuesday af
ternoon the court room was nearly
half filled with men and a good
many women. The interest at tho
opening of tho Waymart homlcldo
case was not great In the morning
but in tho arfternoon, Judging from
the attendance, it was much great
er. The two principal actors in the
tragedy, Marsdeti Hubbard and Mrs.
Dolphin, testified before the Jury,
their testimony taking tho entiro
afternoon.
At the opening of court Dr. Peter
sen was called to correct a state
ment mado that morning when he
said that his examination of the body
showed a wound in the right arm.
He corrected it by saying that tho
wound was In the left arm.
N. B. Spencer took the stand again
to state that the revolver was a 32
callhre. At this point the prosecution
rested.
Attorney William II. Lee, for tho
defense, made a motion to have Mrs.
Dolphin, the only eye-witness to tho
tragedy, take the stand for the pros
ecution, stating that it was custom
ary for the District Attorney to call
eye witnesses of an affair to testify.
The district attorney answered by
saying that ho had subpoenaed tho
witness but had withheld her be
cause he thought she was a pre
judiced witness. Judge Searle re
fused the motion.
Mr. Kimble then opened the de
fense with an impassioned appeal to
the jury in which he stated that they
were perfectly willing to rest the
case, there after It was proven that
deceased had entered the room with
a deadly weapon, but that they did
not want to rest the case on a tech
nicality. "We will give the life -history of,
