For President: William Howard Taft. For Vice President: James S. Sherman. We are told Vermont is suffer ing from frost. How funny. Invaribly of Oi*© Opicicn As our subscribers and friends call in our office from day to day to lenew their pubsciptiori and speak of the present political sit uation we find'them invaribly of one opinion. “Before the nom ination’’, says one ’ brother, and this speaks the sentiriient of the majority, wes for RoosGV6lt but now I expect to support the nominee of the Republican par ty.'' This brother goes onto say, “I have always been a true and tried Republican and expect to stick to the principals for which this party stands. By weighing public opinion carefully we find the majority of the people are satisfied. Why then make a change? If it requires a place of quiet- itude and three or four days for Governor Wilson to write his speech accepting uhe nomination wonder where he will go when he gets into the thickest of the thickest of the fight. As things Move (From The Yellow Jacket) Of course the world do move. Once men put a rock in one end of the sack and the corn in the other when they went to mill. They rode in ox carts to Church and plowed with a w-ooden plow. And we do things different now. And so it must be in politics. The ox cart, the wooden plow ana the rofek in the sack of poli tics have all got to go or we will all go to the devil in a hand cart. That the farmers will vote solidly for Taft can be depended upon. had put a bag over her head and kidhapted htr, she said. Sad A;cid2it At' Aiha/iila. Asheville, July 18.—Parke Shufotd'son of Alderman W. E. Shuford, aged twelve accidently shot and killed himself just be fore dark, while gunning for pigeons with a neighbor boy in latters. H[e sat on & wagon with his rHle on his knee waiting, it is supposed he saw some pigeons coming, jnmped down and touch ed the trigger with his toe. The bullet a 32 caliber, entered un-. der the,chin and came out at the base of the brain a nd he lived ab out 10 minutes, unconscious. AT THE 5-10 & 25Ci AQaestion of Names. (From The Youth’s Companion) In some of the country districts of Ireland it is not aft uncommon thing to see carts with the own ers’ names chalked on to save the expense of painting. Prac tical jokdrs delight in rubbing oul; these signs to,annoy the own ers. - A ft bulary sergeant one day accosted a countryman wnose name had been thus wiped out uhknown to him. “Is this your cart my good man?" “Of course it is!” was the re ply. ' ‘Do you see anything the matter with it?” “I obsarve," said the pompous policeman, “that your name is o-blitherated. ” “Then ye’re wrong,” quoth the countr^yman, who had never come act OSS the long word be fore, “forme name'sOTlaherty and I don't care who knows it. The Democratic leaders can readily see they have nothing to hope for from Wilson. If you spend your vacation at Sea Girt you better carry some scrip lest you migh t not be wel« eome. Things appear rather on the quiet with the Bull moose, won der if he has been linked? We suppose he is grooming. The past record of Taft has been weighed in the balance and found far weighter than the utterance of any of his opponents. A vote for Wilson means free trade and no market for the farmer. Who is foolish enough to take a chance? Certainly not a farmer. The man of Rochester who was chasing a bee when he fell down and and killed himself might have been governed by the moral, never look for a chance to be stung twice. Fan and Fancy. The Democratic mule. Once thought to be a fool. But loaded down with wisdom new. He lifted up his tail And forced a mighty wail From Teddy, Taft and Tariff, too. The Democratic mule. Once thought, to be a fool, Yet when his donkey's trumpet blew, He humped himself in style And licked them half a mile- King Teddy, Taft and Tariff, too. The Democratic mule Once thought to be a fool. Has licked the bloated bosses blue And neatly by a trick. He turned the once big stick On Teddy, Taft, and Tariff, too. The Democratic mule. Once thought to be a fool. With Wilson brave and always He'll break the tariff wall, And laugh to see the fall Of Teddy, Taft and Tariff, too. The Democratic mule Once thought to be a fool, Now sagely says, “The fight re new. And I shall fill the chair. The presidential chaiTp Of Teddy, Taft and Tariff, too.” —E. S. D. In Columbia State. The Two-lhirds Rule. (From The Concord Tribune.) Before the Baltimore conven tion there was muctf ta’k among Democrats in regard to abrogat ing the two-thirds rule at nation al conventions, but since Wilson was nominated after Champ Clark had received a majority makes the majority feel that a mistake was avoided. The Demo crats have been the gainers both by the two-thirds rule in their ovm convention and the absence of it in the Republican conven tion. If the two-thirds rule had bwn in force in Chicago, neither Taft nor Roosevelt would have been nonjinated. No doubt Gov ernor Hadley would have been the nominee, a much more for midable man than the President or the Colonel. If a majority would have nominated at Eteilti- more. Champ Clark would have been chosen, and the party would have been seriously h andicapped. SILK HOSIERY, they are all the craze, ail popular colors and sizes^ 25c per pair.

This would mean the bankruptcy of our manufact ures and England would soon flood, our markets with goods with very little or no tariff. They are only working politics. We should learn to have noble desires to order to have no need for sublime resolutions.—Sch iller. The fight will be strictly be- tweseu Col. Roosevelt and Mr. Wilson. The chances are Mr. 'Taft will not get a single electo ral vote. In that event its easy to see that Col. Roosevelt will be the next president of the United States.—News Dispatch. Our contemporary the News Dispatch appears to have over looked the fact that Rhode Island i» solid for him. Those Vacation Days. Those vacation days are usual ly the most pleasant days in the world and justly they should be. We look forward for many months to the time of their ar rival. We live in anxiety looking forward to the good time we are going to have. An ideal way to spend their most pleasantly is camping. This gives the body the much needed outdoor air. Houses are good places for rough cold and rainy weather but living in the outdoors is by far better during the delightful summer. If we American people living in this fast age would remain in the fresh air more we would nave less of the many dreaded diseases.

Actress is Fonnd Tied And Gagged New York, July 17.—Ethel Conrad, the actress, who with Lillian Graham, aclhieved mu6h publicity a short time ago by sh^ting Millionaire W. E. D. Stokes in the legs, was found early this morning lying bound with*a clothes line and gagged with a handkerchief in a vacant lot on 181st street. She was discovered in a semi-conscious condition and a bottle, which had contained chloroform, close to hand, lent color to her state ment that she had been drugged by a “dark man with a black mustache,” whom she had notic ed watching her closely in a sub way train. A peculiar feature of the girl's story is the fact that while she claims to have'been placed in the vacant lot by her assailant be tween 1 and 2 o'clock^ in the morning, she did not get drench ed in the heavy rain which fell at intervals between midnight and 4 o'clock, when she was found. An examination by the physicians at the Washington Heights hospital to which the young woman was taken reveal ed no trace of physical violence. They put the case down as one of hysteria. Miss Conrad gase her address in sue!) a vague way that the police had considerable difficulty in notifying her mother of her strange experience. Her friend, Miss Graham, who called at the hospital early in the day, had no comment to make other than “isn'tit terrible.” It was only a year ago that Lillian Graham met with an adventure on her own account. She vanished and later reappear ed at Poughkeepsie. A stranger i ONLY A FEW DAYSjIFT. Remember that July 27th is Ac time when our great July sale closes and that there are only a g f^w days left.
