HAPPY COND1TIONS.-
b Republicans we have every
reason to feel supremely happy
over the progress being, made in
the Presidential campaign during
the past week. At last our peo
ple are beginning . to realize the
responsibilities resting on them,
and in Ohio, Indiana, New York,
and many other states, have at
last realized that something deep
er, broader; ' and of greater im
portance' than their little' petty
jealousies and personal aggrand
izement is at stake...
In Ohio the differences be
tween Foraker and; Taft Ihave
been relegated to the rear, and
all elements of the party- have
reunited for the one., common
purpose of electing a Republican
President to continue the good
work so well and faithfully in
augurated by the Roosevelt ad
ministration. Taft'a whirlwind
speeches through Ohio and Vir
ginia have been masterpieces of
statesmanship and show that the
Republican party made no mis
take in nominating a man that
has the courage of his -convictions.
In Iowa common sense has at
last 1 prevailed,' and ' the bitter
fight that so long existed between
the Allison forces on the one side
and Gov. Cummins as the central
figure on the other. has been
eradicated by the seeming prov
idential intervention at this par
ticular time. The people in Iowa
have acted wiaelv and wH' in fch
selection, as viewed from the
present standpoint, of Cummins
forU. S. Senator from Iowa.
We hail him as a reformer, clean
and pure, both in public and pri
vate life, and as such will add
great strength to the advanced
sentiment of public opinion,
'which is today demanding cleaner
and purer men in public life.
There can no longer be doubt
about either Ohio or Iowa
In New York the same happy
condition exists, for Gov. Hughes
has made himself so popular
with the masses of the people
in the fierce battle he openly
waged against all classes of im
morality, including race-track
gambling, that the better ele
ment of all political parties will
rally to his support, and while
the boodle element in the party
would if possible, nominate some
other man for governor, his
star is fixed in the eastern hori
zon to point the way to purer
and better things in the rotten
old stare of New York and kin
dle the fires around the hearth
stone of Taft and Sherman.
The speeches of Bryan have
also acted as a godsend to the
situation. When he tells the far
mer who is . selling his wool at
18 cents per pound that he will
knock the tariff on this commod
ity into a cocked hat and place
foreign importation on the free
list he stirred up a hornet's nest
that will continue to buzz around
his ears until long after the No
vember election. When a man
who howled so long on free sliver
at a ratio of 16 to 1 and is now
willing to stand on a gold plat-
Of all the presidential candi
dates within the memory of this
generation; Taft . is unquestion
ably the best equipped, in train
ing and experience, and 'in wide
and close contact with large af
fairs. In one important respect
his equipment is unlike that of
any of the Presidents,', no one of
whom had ever served upon the
bench. . With the exception of
those nominated upon their mili
tary records, and two or three
who had been governors of their
states the Presidents have been
men whose political training was
in the legislative branch. Taft
ft as never in Congress, nor even
in his state legislature. . He is
wholly without . personal experi
ence uT what is called practical
politics. He . was - educated for
the bar, early became ?a judge:
the whole trend of his thought
and of his ambition has been in
the line of the judiciary, and his
ingrained judicial temperament
it was that made him so conspic
uously, useful and successful in
the many difficult administrative
problems he was later called up
on to solve.
It was a distinct .sacrifice he
made when President McKinley
took him from a life position he
enjoyed, and - that was in line of
his dearest hopes, to lay upon
him the burden of establishing
peace and order in the Philip
pines.' , The judgment, tact and
skill with which he carried on
that great task; the Candid diplo
macy' with which he smoothed
away perplexing obstacle?; the
unselfish devotion with which he
has. upheld the interests of those
far away people in the face of
indifference rat home, were an
honor to the nation. ' The same
qualities of 'a wise,v adjudicator
have been repeatedly: at the ser
vice of the country; ' In Cuba, in
Panama, in Japan, it has been
necessary only to 'send for Taft. '
Misunderstandings ' are cleared
up and difficulties vanish before
this gracious personality, this
calm, clear, disentangling mind.
His intellectual integrity and dis
interestedness have been as un
mistakable as his quiet strength,
his unswerving sense of justice,
his absolute honesty. It is not a
a mind that moves by impulse or
in startling flashes; it is a mind
well poised and of singular lucid
ity, that reaches its results by
logical principles, which do not
antagonize, but convince. Phil.

Ingenious Johnny.
Mother had a bright red ap
ple which she wished to give to
the children, at the same time
teaching the little brother a les
son in generosity. Johnny had
a peculiar fondness for apples.
Calling him to her side, she
said: "Now, dear, mamma has a
nice, rosy apple to gi e you, and
she wants you to be generous."
t hat word was not in Johnny's
vocabulary, so he said: "Mam
ma, what do you mean by being
generous?"
"Oh, dear, that means you are
to divide the apple into two parts
and give sister the larger."
Johnny was silent. Suddenly
his face brightened as he hand
ed the apple again to his mother,
saying: "Mamma give it to sis
ter and tell her to be generous."
