Secretary Taft is lucky in the quality of his Connecticut friends, They know a good thing when they see it and they know how to set after the good thing when they want it. The friends of MT. Taft in this State have power and they wiSl use it for his good.
 Charles Hopkins Clark, the able and experienced editor of the Hartford Courant, says in an interview with a representative of the Leader T not only think he will get the nomination, but I also firmly believe he will be elected, I can't see how the country can afford to let such an opportunity pass. Secretary Taft has had experi- enee that would prove invaluable to him; he is a big man in every sense ot the word. I think that Secretary Taft would make the finest President the country has ever had"
 True. t's Srsss Ssrssess the the sptAs'F'sssti, sse si.. are not to be undervalued on that ac. count. It is certainly true that no man has ever had the preparation Mr. Taft has had for the office He has worked in every possible field of political ser vice and has in each acquitted himself 
 with the greatest satisfaction to those who employed him. Upon what grounds then will the Republican or ganization of Connecticut turn to an. other in preference? It will be inter. esting t9 wait and see.

fNOW 1HAr ENDURES.

New Haven's snowstornn was good one, and a bad one, but it wont have any such far-reaehing effect as the snowstorm which came down on Chi cago in January 1905, and doesn't seem to have been cleared away yet The Civil Service commission of Chi .cago has discovered that eleven hun dred street laborers are still employed by the city for the removal of that re- markabe fall of snow According to the records these eleven hundred emergency laborers were kept at work at the removal of that snow all through the campaign for the re-elec- ton of Mayor Dunne, and, curlously enough, the number of emergency la borers for the removal of the snow rose to 1,50O in July, 1906
 That's something like q snowstorm. Even the blizzard dininishes before that It is now hoped that Chicago VIII be able to get that sHow cleared away before the Republican national con vontion meets there next June. If it doesn't the big men wlll gec a bad impression of thc hlg city, and will not be likely to order another convention held there

Vardaman of Mississippi hasn been looked on as a very warm friend of the negro, and it isn't probable that he in- tended to do him a good turn when, as Governor, he vetoed the legislatures appropriation for the State Normal School for negro students at Holly Springs, Mississippi. Vardaman's action compelled the school 10 close its doors, and that isn't all it did It set the ne- groes of Mississippi at work to build d better school than the State had given them Now, at the end of five years, hey are in proud possession of three
