Taft in h Philippines.
If Secretary Taft does succeed Mr..

his observations on this trip should be OF
great advantage to him in his new post.
The hrst-hand knowledge so recently ac-

Philippines, no less than the look at the
most interesting portions Of Europe on his

shaping the course the American people
will expect of him as chief magistrate.

To the allegation that the Herald was
worked by Clement during his political
campaigns and tree copies of the
newspaper seai out In his behalf tor
which the company treasury has never
received adequate compensation, the
reply is that in 1909 Clement paid
s3i76.2l for papers, on which there
was profit of at least $1,000 and In
the campaign OF 1906 similar pay
ment OF s72l0.s0 was made. with a
profit of al least $1,000, Clement
further SAYS that he has paid ade-
quately for all Office quarters in the

parties, determining where the truth

BETHEL GRANITE, AGAIN.

to certain extent, in the prosperity
bound to result.
The handsome and durable light
granite of Bethel has already won
fame in the building trade of the
country. 1t was selected some four
years ago by government experts as
the best material for the imposing
capital-a contract OF about million
dollars. AT that time the quarries
were largely undeveloped and all the
stone had to be hauled four miles by
teams over rough roads to the railway.
Since then a branch railroad has been

have been uncovered and worked
successfully.
The prediction that the Washington
job would but pave the way to others

a winner. The contract is for fur.

WILL MAhAN HANG7

Yes, it is proper to have the Ben

lunacy commission right away, before
time and money are wasted on his
trial. From this distance, though. il
looks as ii all the evil spirits in the
creature came out of those ''long-
neckers," long and assiduously APP

storms, (" the plea OF "degcneracyn and
the straight "insanlty" dodge, ii is
pretty hard to corner the bloodiest
kind OF murderer for the extreme
penalty.
We have a notion that the fault is in
the attitude of the public toward the
penalty itself; that every possible
twist and wrinkle is hunted up and
applied in order TO save the culprit's
neck; that iastice miscarries because
OF ii, and that Imprisonment for life
should be substituted-notou out OF mercy
to the perpetrator, but as more GER
tain deterrent and protection to the
people. Our friends of the majority
won't agree with us, of course, and
will ask if the fiend who committed
the horrible Bennington crime ought
to live on at the expense OF the state.
Hot blood OF the moment says "No.n
Yet We would be willing to wager that
this wretch never hangs. just wait
