Beveridge Wins and the Indiana Republican
Convention Refuses to Endorse

Payne-Aldrich tariff measure passed I price and therefore is a deception,
liy the last congress. The committee ] Yet that is one of the boasted reduc-
d
on resolutions voted unanimously to
not mention the measure. The sup-
porters of the tariff law were so hope-
lessly in the minority that no effort
was made to get the committee to in-
corporate an indorsement of it in the
resolutions. The resolutions were ad-
opted as reported.
The principal address of the day was
delivered by Senator Beveridge, and
was largely devoted to a defense of the
action of the senator and others in
voting against the Payne-Aldrich ta-
riff measure.
The resolution as adopted also en-
dorse President Taft's administration
and pledge "our support in any ef-
forts to secure the enactment of gen-
uine progressive legislation."
"The republicans of Indiana are for
a protective tariff which covers the
difference In the cost of production
here and abroad. Less tran that it
Is unjust to American laborers; more
than that is unjust to American con-
sumers. Injustice is the only foe that
protection needs to fear. It was to
reduce the Dingley tariff to meet
changed conditions and secure justice
that we undertook Its revision.
"Every economic policy, every po-
litical system, almost every govern-
ment has been destroyed because of
excesses and injustice that crept in-
to it. The way to secure a policy, a
system or a government that in itself
Is good is to administer it with justice
and wisdom. The only way to keep
a party solid and growing is to keep
it right an dprogressfve.
"McKinley saw this when he de-
clared In his last speech that in tariff
matters 'the period of excluslveness
is past.'
"Senator Morrell, the father of the
war tariff of 1864. saw it when he de-
clared in 1870: 'It is the mistake of
the friends of a sound tariff to in-
sist on extreme rates proposed during
the war if less will raise the neces-
sary revenue.'
Garfield saw it when he said: 1 tie
wisest thing protectionists can do is
to unite on a moderate reduction of
duties.' ,, . _
"Theodore Roosevelt saw it when
he said at Logansport, lnd., in 190.,
'What we realy need in this country
is to treat the tariff as a business
proposition from the standpoint ot the
Interests of the country, as a whole
and not from the standpoint ofthe
temporary needs of any political

voters understand it today when the>'

the poor man's carpet; or on zinc,
which is a universal necessity; or on
silk, which a part of clothing or ad-
ornment of every American woman

"I could not stand for the obselete
and infamous sugar schedule, which
tions we hear of.
"It is said the law has made reduc-
tions on articles entering into the
consumption of the people to the value
of five billion of dollars; yet those ar-
ticles are made up of such things as
lumber, agricultural implements, meat
and food products, petroleum and its
products, of all of which we are the
greatest exporters in the world; steel
rails and coal, which we export; bar-
bed wire, monopolized by the Steel
Trust; nails, manufactured and sold j
by an international trust as complete
as the internaltional tobacco monop-
oly; yarns and threads; the raw ma-
terials for textiles, on which textiles,
when furnished for the people's use,
the tariff was increased; sugar, which
was not reduced in fact, but only in
pretense. I
"Above all, I could not stand for
the slaughter by the conference com-1
mittee of the moderate beginning of
a tariff commision which I wrote in-
to the bill that pased the senate; but
all save one of the democratic sena-
tors were theenemies of any tariff
commission then, and are its enemies
now.
"These are examples, I was against'
them then—lam against thpin now. ]
Compromise on purely economic de-
tails is often wise; but compromise
with sheer injustice is always wrong.
"I was for a law that would pro-
tect the wages of every working man
in Indiana and yet enable that work-
ing man to get his clothing and crea-
ture comforts cheaper—and such a
law could have been written, and it
shall be written.
"1 was for a law that would have
given every manufacturer in Indiana
ample protection, and yet enable him
to get his raw materials cheaper—
and such a law could have been writ-
ten, and It shall be written.
"I was for a law that would have
taken the tariff out of the way of
business for ten or a dozen years-
such a law could hav ebeen written,
and it shall be written. Business
needs tariff stability, and only a sat-
isfied people can give stability. The
dictates of justice are better for busi-
ness than the dictates of bosses, for
the people obey justice and defy bos-
ses.
"Daniel Webster spoke, fought and
voted against the tariff bill of 1824.
in his speech on that bill—one of the
greatest of his life—he said:
" 'What should hinder us from ex-
ercising our own judgment upon
these provisions singular and sev-
eral? Who has the power to place
us in a condition where we can not
give to every measure a separate and
distinct consideration? t.natever is
extravagant or unreasonable is not
likelj to endure; if no moderation is
shown in laying on duties there may
be little in taking them off * * *
There are some parts of this bill which
1 highly approve, there are others in
which I acquiesce; but those to which
I have now stated my objections ap-
pear to me so destitute of justice, so
burdensome and so dangerous that
nothing can prevail upon me to give
it my support.'
"Although the interests of that day
and their politicians reviled Webster
for that speech and vote, the people
rallied to the moral standard he rais
ed.
"The making of a tariff, so loug as
moderation and justice are followed,
is an economic question; but the mom
ent excess and injustice are practiced,
the making of a tariff becomes also a
moral question. So the tariff fight
last y earaws a moral fight. And who
bore the battle? L want the people of
Idniana to know that all the real
fighting that was done for justice in
tariff schedules, was done by repub-
licans, and not by democrats. I^t
me read to you what Mr. Bryan said
of democratic performers in a public
speech. Said 111'. Bryan in his El
Paso address:
" 'There was a great tariff contro-
versy in congress this year, and the
result was that the dissension ended
in the humiliating situation of the re-
form republicans contending for a
real revision of the tariff, while the
democrats were quarreling among
themselves over protection for the
products of their own districts.'
"I voted against the bill and for
plighted honor. I voted against ex-
cess and for protection. 1 voted
against the interests ami for the peo-
ple. 1 voted and fought for the genu-
ine republicanism of Lincoln the
founder of our faith; ot Morrell, the
father of our tariff; of Garfield, the
interpreter of our principles; of Mc-
Kinley, the apostle of protection; of
Roosevelt, the soldier of righteous-
ness.
"Assuming that honest differences
of opinion exist—and they do; giv-
ing to those upright men who voted
for the law as a whole credit for all
the sincerity that I claim for myself;
what is the way out of the difficulty?
Surely not to turn the government ov-
er to the grotesqus band of politicians
in public life, and who want to get
into public life, tnis-named the demo-
cratic party. The people know what

to close out the saloons and gambling
joints which were operating contrary to
the laws. After government was estab-

a- the btatc work had an effect upon the civil pro-
gress of humanity."
After mentioning Washington and
Lincoln, as respectively the founder
and cousolidator of the republic, he
characterized Mr. Roosevelt as a
"prifier," saying that he had hunted
fiercer beasts than during his recent
trip to Afric
"Men of his calibre," said the mayor
"are beyond the limits of a country.
They belong by right to civilization."
He concluded with an apostrophe to
Mr. Roosevelt as "the fighting philos-
opher," who is preaching the word of
purity, goodness adn duty to his peo-
ple, and he compared the ex-preal-
dent to Marcus Aurelius.
Mr. Roosevelt, in replying that no
civilized man could come to Rome
without feelUig that he was visiting
civilization. After expressing deep
appreciation for the hospitality exten-
ded to him here, he spoke of political
life, which lie said was not so much
a matter of genius as of the practical
application of the very ordinary quali-
ties of courage, honesty and common
sense, and the rarest of these, he ad-
ded, is common sense.
"Beware of the man who does not
translate his words into deeds," said
the ex-prcsident.
He announced that he was an opti-
mist with regard to the future.
"Twice Italy was the head of the
world," he continued, "first in the days
of her glory, when Marcus Aurelius
was emperor, and second, during the
marvelous reproduction of the life of
Greece in the communes of Amalfi,
Pisa, Florence and Genoa. Ana now,
in the last sixty years, since the bat-
tle of Novara. we have seen the won-
deful growth which has made Italy
what she is and what she will be.
"When pessimists say that civiliza-
tion is worn out, we can turn to Italy,
whence the entire Occident derives its
civilization, and where we don't know
whether to admire more the past or
what is being prepared for the future.
"In all civilized countries it has
been necessary to preserve some bar-
baric virtues, above all, military
strength to oppose any attempt at op-
position. Countries must be strong in
order to be good and to help the weak
against the overbearing."
The ex-president and Mrs. Roose-
figlit was waged through the courts, in-
cluding the supreme court of the X'nited
States, in which Payne finally lost.
Payne held the warrants for the arrest
of the famous Dalton brothers and
chased them for more than one year.
He was leading a posse of federal officers
in pursuit of these Dalton boys into
Coffeyville, Kansas, when the news came
that they had been killed.
Payne was appointed eDputy United
i States marshal in 1883. H eeame to
[ Guthrie, was transfered to Kingfisher.
and three months before the opening of
, the territory was transferred avain to
i Oklahoma City.
Reports had been received stating that
the gamblers and saloon men were vio-
lating the the law in Okahoma City and
the chief marshal sent Payne a telegram
ordering him there. A deputy was ap-
pointed to assist him in driving these un-
desirables from the town. This appoin-
tee was Charles F. Colcord. These two
officers laid low for ten days and spotted
the places where gambling was being]
practiced, located the saloons and raid-
ed all Joints In the town. . Two car load*
of beer and whiskey were selked, "adn
thereafter the violators of the law had a
hard time to escape the two active of-
fiecres.
"When I came to Oklahoma City near-
ly twenty-two years ago," said Payne,
I found drunken cowboys terrorizing the
town. The boys would get drunk and
on the sidewalks built of boards then
would ride their horses up and down,
yelling, breaking windows with their
guns and "shooting up the town."
Gamblers were running wide open, sal-
oons were selling liquor over the coun-
ter, and open violations of the law were
many. I had orders to get another dep-
uty and Mr. Colcord was appointed by
the chief marshal. We laid low for ten
days and when we had located every
house in town and got acquainted, we
made our first raid."
Payne moved to Canadian County
stood off to one side, watevbing them,
too.
"It happened a year ago," said Mrs.
McDermott. "Some of the children
came running in and chouted out that
Dorothy had been killed under a street
car. Then a man came around the
corner, carrying Dorothy. Her left
leg was gone and the doctors hardly
saved her life."
Just iiere little Dorothy came up
limping and interrupted her mother.
"Mama take it off,won't you? It
hurts me so!"
"Bat you must learn to warlk with
it," replied the mother tenderly.
"But it hurts, mama." answered
Dorothy.
She bent down over her little baby
girl and in a moment she gave a cry
of pity.
"Why it's all red and raw," she said
'I'll take it off."
And she unstrapped the wonderful
cork limb which the justice, who
wouldn't take $50,000 apiece for his
honorable legs, had praised so highly.
Dorothy hopped away on one leg to
a clothe" pole in tho middle of the
yard and leaned against that to watch
the children jump the rope.
"She's worn that for months now,
but it hurts her yet," said Mrs. Mc-
Dermott. Then she continued her
story:
"We found that it was all the motor-
man's fault. He didn't slacken the
speed of the car, and when we took
the case to trial there was no doubt
of the company's guilt.
"It is only a question of how much
the little girl's leg is worth. Dorothy
is so bright and smart that she was
able to tell a great deal about the ac-
cident, and she helped her own case
The jury said that she ought to have
$8,500, because some day when she
had grown to be a woman the loss of
her leg would be a great affliction to

years. He then went to Kiowa county,
whore he has resided on a large ranch
prior to his moving to Oklanoma City.
He has sold out all of his Interests in
Kiowa county and will invest in Oklaho-

DISCREDIT ABLE METHODS
I\ POLITICS.
Tulsa World.
The meeting called for Guthrie Fri-
day by the McGuire organization in
the First district, and the methods be-
ing employed to make a "showing"
have both been discreted by the acci-
dental loss of a letter sent out to at
least one federal employee and pre-
sumably to all federal employees in
the First district.
This letter urges the office hokir to
be present at the meeting, tells him to
see all ather apponitees and urges
them to atend but to be sure that only
McGuire men are invited, and advises
him that til expenses will be paid. It
is further stated that the purpose of
the meeting is to make a "show of
standpat strength" and create the im-
pression that the progressive republi-
cans are in the minority," that Mc-
Guire will explain why he voted with
Cannon and for Cannon."
If the republicans of the Frst dis-
trict, in the face of such campaign
methods as this, don't nominate and
elect Garber, then the republicans of
the First are determined 011 sending a
democrat to the Sixty-second congress.
WASHINGTON IRVINGS TRIAL
The Oklahoma Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution concluded a three days'
conference at Oklahoma City, after dis-
cussing plans and measures whereby
the Washington Irving trail will be
marked and other buildings and sites of
historic interest of this state will be
preserved. To carry out this plan a
committee was appointed including Mrs.
T. G. Chambers of Oklahoma City, Mrs.
C. R. Hume of Anadarko, Mrs. W. N.
Red wine of McAlester, Mrs. W. O. Ball
of Muskogee and Mrs. Patrick Nagle of
Kingfisher. The following officers were
elected:
The street car company took the
case to the supreme court and Judge
Garrison granted the company an-
other trial.
"He said that cork legs were so well
made these days that $8,500 was too
much to pay for any human leg.
"We had another trial and the jury
found the company guilty again, but
this jury because of what that judge
had said, had to cut the verdict down
almost half."
As Mrs. McDermott talked we
watched Dorothy trying to "jump the
rorpe," with the other girls. She
hopped four times over the rope then
stopped. It was pitiable. The rest
of her body was strong and lithe, but
no little girl, no matter how strong
she is, can play on one leg.
We saw the girls drop the rope and
run to her. She was crying.
The mother ran out to her and lift-
ed her in her arms. There were
tears in her eyes, too.
"Poor little girl." she said.
"You are too tired."
"I'm not tired, mama, but my leg
hurts." said Dorothy with her arms
about her mother's neck.
JOVS OF WOMANHOOD.
•You women," exclaimed the dis-
gusted brother, "simply have a glor-
ious time doing nothing! My word. I
envy you your idleness!"
"Idleness?" shrieked his pretty sis-
ter.
- "Yes, idleness! Oh, why—why—why
wasn't I born a woman?"
"Oh, yes; you'd like to be a woman!'
retortel the pretty sister. "Just try
it for a day! Fasten a blanket and a
counterpane around your legs, buck

spots that make you squint, fix a huge
hat an with pins, so that every time
the wind blows it pulls your hair out
by the roots, and then, without any
pockets and with short sleeves, and
eral hundred persons gathered h J .>d
the train and took part in an enthu-
siastic demonstration. The distin-
guished merican was warmly cheered
and there were many cries of "long
live Roosevelt."
Colonel Rosevelt was obliged to
come out on the platform of the spec-
ial car, which had been put at his dis-
posal by the government and express
ills thanks to the people of Rome for
their generous and unforgetable hos-
pitality, which called forth a new ova-
tion that continued as the train moved
away *
Among Mr. Roosevelt's telegrams
today were two from well known
Catholic publishers, declaring that
Catholic opinion in America endorsed
his position. Mr. Roosevelt alos re-
ceived visitors and letters from the
Methodist organization in Rome, dis-
avowing sympathy with the violent
utterances contained in the Rev. B. M.
Tipple's recent statement
The vitican today made further rept
resentations regarding the cancel-
lation of the audience, but they con-
tained no new points. The vitican in-
sisted especially that Cardinal Merry
Del Val's sole purpose was to avoid it
possible a repetition ot the Fairbanks
incident in the belief that he could
have been justly criticised if a repiti-
tion of this had occurred and no pre-
vious wraning had been issued.
Rome pril 6.—Before leaving Rome
tonight ex-president Roosevelt had
reason tj believe that a great triumph
was his, because both the attitude of
the Vitican toward him and the state-
ment of the Methodists, which he had
condemned were repudiated by the
leading adherents of those institutions.
Lawrence Janssens, one of the most
learned benedictines and secretary ot
the congregation of the affairs of re-
ligion, called on Mr. Roosevelt this
evening, and not finding him, left his
card, on which he wrote in French
that he desired to congratulate him
for the constant support given to his
order and the Catholic church in gen-
eral in America during Mr. Roosevelt's
"glorious career" as president, which
he hoped would soon be resumed.
Contemporaneously, Mr. Roosevelt
received letters from relatives of high
prelates and cardinals, condemning,
what they styled "the personal atti-
tude of Cardinal Merry Del Val. for
which neither teh pope nor the Catho-
lic church was responsible."
On the other hand, Mr. Roosevelt
received the following letter from Dr.
Walling Clark, head of the Methodist
organization in Italy:
"The incident connected with the
article written by the Rev. B. M. Tip-
ple for the American press has caused
