is 1T TAFT OR ANTI-TAFT?

Instructions to delegates from
many counties in the state of Ken
lucky to support a resolution in the
Republican state convention to in
dorse William II. Taft for the presi-
Dental nomination indicate that the
question of indorsing a candidate for
the nomination will be injected into
the state convention, and indicate
further that if the question is put
to a vote in such a manner as to
draw out the real sentiment of the
voters, Taft will receive the indorse-
ment. This is unfortunate for two
reasons. Secretary Taft has not re-
ceiyed the Endorsement of his own
state, Ohio, although it is certain he
may have it whenever he wishes it;
and It affords an opportunity for fac
tional schism in the Republican
ranks a year ahead of the national
election. Every extraneous issue in
jected into a political campaign
offers a wider range for differences
of opinion.
On the other hand, sympathy nat
urally must be on the side of Taft,
because enemies of the national adj
ministration forced open the bud of
his presidential aspirations before its
season, for the purpose of blighting
them, and IL Kentucky and her sister
states go ahead and indorse him,
such action will be the natural con-
sequence Of another blunder on the
part of those who would hurt Roose-
welt and the Roosevelt policies. APP
parently every attack on the presi-
dent makes him stronger, because IL
emphasizes the honesty of his purpose
and position.
Fairbanks has a press bureau at
work Knox is openly candidate for
the nomination. No doubt, either of
them would favor action on the part
OF Kentucky, did he think he would
get the Endorsement.
We have all along considered it bad
politics to inject national party
affairs into a state convention held
for some other purpose, and we
should advise Western Kentucky
delegates to vote against indorsing
anything but the administration and
the Republican congressman. How
ever, the matter may be put up to
them in such a way that a vote
against the Taft Endorsement is a
vote against Taft, in which case, the
delegates will have to be guided by
their own discretion and sentiments.

MARQUIS ITO
TAKES SCALP OF AOEI IN TRUE
TAAINIANY STYLE.
Politics Being Played in Island EN-
pire and Ambassador To
America Is Victim.

Washington, June Estate de-
partment officials and members of the
diplomatic corps were much interest
ed today in the statement in a Toxic
newspaper, the Hochi, that the Jap
anese government probably would re.
call Viscount Aoki, the japanese am
bassador, and is considering the, ap-
pointment of Baron Kaneko as his
successor. officials of the Japanese
embassy say that the progressive
party has taken the San Francisco
disturbance as a pretext in an effort
to bring about the downfall of Wis
count Aoki and in this connection It
is pointed out here that Marquis Ito
has been inimical to Viscount Aoki
for many years.
1t was stated authoritatively to-
night that 'if the japanese govern
ment has any intention of recalling
Viscount Aoki the news will not be
first announced to the world through
the columns of the Hochi," and that
Ambassador Aoki does not attach
any credence to the report.
Since his visit to the United States
when the peace conference was being
conducted at Portsmouth, Baron Ka-
neko, it is said at the embassy, has
had great ambition to represent
Japan as the ambassador at Wash
ington. He was graduated from Har-
ward shortly after President Roose-
welt left that institution, and he en-
joys the presidents friendship.

BURGLARS DRANK CHAMPAGNE.
Smoked Young's Cigars, Played the
Piano All the Afternoon and
Then Left With Music.

New York, June 17.-John Young,
who is some pumpkins as concert
singer and a musician, would like to
know who were the burglarious 'flady
and gentleman who jimmied their
way into his apartments at 267 West
One Hundred and Thirteenth street,
drank his champagne. smoked his
cigars and cigarettes, tried his music
over on his piano and swiped all of
his most romantic and tuneful scores.
Mr.. and Mrs. Young were away
from home and when they got back
they found the lock of the door lead
ling into their rooms smashed and
within other interesting evidence
that they had had unlimited visitors
during their absence. On a tabour-
ette were an empty champagne bottle
that belonged in Mr.. Young's icebox
and two champagne glasses. Along
side lay the stubs of cigars and cigar
cites that formerly had reposed in
Mr.. Young's humidor, and still fur
ther, on the door of the music cabinet
was pinned a note addressed to them
in a woman's handwriting and
Aha elousl--entwined in the
knob of the door was long, glisten-
ing strand of golden hair. Mrs.
Young seized upon the hair and Mr..
Young the note The note read as
follows:
1--WE need this music much in our
business. It's good stuff. To save
you the trouble we'll tell you what
