ANTI-TAFT.
» ' Ruled by an aversion Ic» Pres
ident Taft, due to Ihe president's
unfair treatment of Alaska, Wal
ler W. Liggett, former editor of
the Skagway Alaskan, and at
present owner and editor of the
Pasco Progress, in Washington
state, announces that the Pro
gress will no! support President
Taft under any circumstances.
The editorial is as follows:
"In view of possible 'barn-Is'
lo open it is not generally con
sidered good journalistic policy
to pick a candidate early in Ihe
campaign--ccrlain ly mil before
the campaign starts. Opinions of
Ihe Progress, however, are uol
influenced by Ihe possibility of
political advertising and we see
no reason for longer deferrin
an announcement which has long
been in our mind lo make.
"Under no consideral ions will
Ihe Progress support William I;
Taft should be be the presiden
tial mViiuce of his party. Our
reasons for this are many, but
they may be summarized briefly
by slating we believe him utter
ly unlit for the high olTlcc be now
holds. Taft, personally, is prob
ably honest. Rut since his ele
vation lo the presidency a crowd
of reactionary standpatters have
been his cousellors and his ca
reer has been neither a credit to
himself or his country.
"In the Ralfinger-Pinchot light,
when Taft stubbornly sustained
the actions of this political Oliver
Twist who was thrust into his
cabinet for no other purpose than
to throw open Alaska to looting
corporations; in the president's
refusal of patronage lo insurgent
congressmen; in his frequent ex
pressed attitude on the jirogres
sive tendency of the people to
wards obtaining governmental
reform; Taft has shown himself
absolutely out of touch with Ihe
people. His endorsement of the
Payne-Aldrich bill was his lirsl
step in this course; bis recent
New York speech terming Ihe in
surgents 'neurotic and demagog
ues' indicates he is slill blind
ly following the same pathway.
"Taft has no chance of re
election. Kven the probability of
his being re-uomiualed is remote
now thai the astute Col. Roose
velt has entered Ihe lists. Hut
should Taft be able to force his
* own candidacy upon his parly,
by the aid of the machine con
trolled southern delegates, he wi11
be badly beaten by Wilson or
Clryk, should Ihe Democrats
wisely select either of these can
didates. No one al all in touch
with Ihe sentiment of Ihe coun
try can foresee anything but a
humiliating defeat in store for
Taft in case be becomes his
, parly's candidate.
"In any event Ihe Progress
cannot Conscientiously support
Tafl. And il will not."

Large Crowd Attend Lecture at
the Congregational
Ohurclv
The Congregational church was
filled to the doors last night to
hear the lecture by llev. Johnson,
which was very interesting and
•instructive.
The orchestra played selec
tions for the opening, then the
lights were turned down and the
pictures thrown on the screen.
The map of Australia—the lec
turer pointed out various states
and specially expressed on
Queensland, the subject of (In*
lecture. The pictures of: In the
Australian Mush. The Camper.
The Brisbane Hiver, Brisbane
City, its wharves, main si reels,
public buildings, beautiful gar
dens. Then a trip north 1m
Tympie, Maryborough, Bunda
berg, Koekbamplon. Townsville,
('barters Towers, (bavins and
Conk I own, the main streets, the
public buildings, wardens, etc., of
each city being shown. The riv
ers, waterfalls, beautiful fern
gullies and beauty spots. Then
the great mining centers: Mount
Morgan., which has paid *ir>,000,
000 already in dividt i iiiS asi< still
pours out gold. Then he showed
sugar plantations, sugar mills,
great sheep ranches, shearing by
machinery, wool transportation,
the large dairy ranches, where
"(500 to 1,000 cows are milked.
The fruit production—pineapple
plantations, bananas, grapes, etc.,
commenting on the pictures as
they were thrown on the screen.
Altogether a very profitable ev
ening was spent. Mr. Mulvey op
erated the lantern, very kindly
lent by Father Van tier Pol.
This is certainly a tine ma
chine but everything being new
and not running quite easy llev.
Johnson was not satisfied with
Hie result, so he hopes lo have
an opportunity of giving them
over again free some evening.
