Taft Manager Worried.

According to recent dispatches, Arthur 1. Vorys,
manager OF the Taft boom, is a hot trail that
scents double dealing on the part of the president
oclal family with reference to the candidacy of the
heir apparent The dispatches state that Vorys Wis
led Canton for the purpose of laying before Roose-
vet the evidences of treachery he had gathered from
various sections of the country, reciay from New
York and the South, and determined to learn from
the presidents own lips just how much reliance
could be placed upon the promise of federal support
There is no doubt that Taft was induced to become
candidate through the promise of this support and
that ne and his friends led to believe it would
include the full strength of the administration
cabinet officers and all. Mystifed by the unexpect
ed blocking of measures adopted for the promotion
of the Taft cause and dissatisfied with the progress
OF the boom, Vorys started quiet investigation
which resulted in the alarming discovery that
number OF prominent federal oficehoders, including
members Of the cabinet, were working against Taft
and attempting to corral delegates favorable to Cor
telyou' This smacked loudly of treason, and in the
absence OF his chief Vorys concluded boldly face
the president with his evidence. The conference
took place, but with what result is not known, as
neither of the principals will discuss the matter.
That the president denied any knowledge of the
double dealing be accepted as matter of course.
The past Justifies such conclusion. He denied Park
ers charge that the big corporations were contribu
ing to fund for the corruption of the electorate of
the country In his behalf when in truth the ink was
scarcely dry on his letter to Hartman requesting
such contributions In face of this request he stated
ne did not know where Corteyou was getting money
to run the campaign. He did not know what Cortel-
you was doing then, and If Vorys were not tyro in
boom management, he would not expect the August
One to know what Cortelyou is doing now The
August One is too busy preaching morals and chas-
tisng nature fakirs to pay attention to such small
matters. Manager Vorys is now back in the Taft
headquarters wondering who he is spending Brother
Charles +. Tafts money for-Taft, Cortelyou or
know.

"Iniunction Bill" Taft.

After nearly year of pulling and hauling
secured lefthanded Endorsement of his candidacy
for president from the Nebraska Republicans. The
effect of the announcement spoiled however by
she almost simultaneous appearance of an attack up
on the heir apparent by Samuel Gompers, president
Of the American Federation of Labor who, in a
lengthy editorial in the Federations official paper,
tells why organized labor cannot support the father
Of government by injunction. His remarks are
based on Taft's decision a federal Judge in Gin
cinnati with referance to boycotts, and his recent
discussion of labor questions in his speeches.
He says:
Secretary Taft's contention with reference to
what he terms the boycott would if carried to its
logical result lead to the dispersion and forcible
breaking up by court orders of every assemblage of
working men, however innocent and lawful their
purpose and to the notification of all their agree
ments. The fact of the matter is that Secretary
Taft, as presidential aspirant is afraid he may
have rufled feather here and there in the plume
of eaptalistlc power. His parting words to
sole corporate influence and the money power for
any uneasiness to his position. He substantially
assures them that if they will but give him their
support he will hand over to the tender merces of
the worst elements of the capitalist class the work

shackled by njunctions for which he will sta nd'b

5 Editorial Observations.
A Narrow Escape.

silly, hysterica young girl, near Medina. o.,
who wanted some excitement bound and gagged
herself and then told her parents she had been at
tackled and beaten by miscreant. The countryside
was aroused. The aid of bloodhounds was secured.
One suspect was arrested and had hard work to
prove alib, and another being put through a
gring inquiry when the girl confessed that she had
plotted and executed the incident herself to break
the monotony of her life and the dulness of country
life. What might have happened to some luckless
riendless vagrant had the girl been better actor
endowed with less conscience is easy but horrible to
imagine.
AS the feeling of the country now is, the testimony
of the woman in such cases s always taken without
question, although their is abundant evidence to
show that hysterical motives sometimes lead
to false accusations against innocent with ter
rible results, Crimes against numerous
and awful, and no sort of indulgence can be extend
ed to perpetrators of such. But this Medina episode
abundantly shows that the law must never be taken
into the hands of the mob, and that summary ven-
geance is likely to be hideousy wrong than any
chine which calls for 1t. Had those Western Re-
serve farmers who hunted day and night for this
supposed scoundre been less controlled or had
little circumstantia evidence been available,
frghtful crime might have been the result of this
young miss's nove-reading folly.

Boss Ridden Party.

Immediately following the defeat of the Coz
municipal ticket at Cincinnati in the campa ign Of
two years ago, the cement authoritative
ly made taat the coarse Republican boss had retired
permanently from the field of active politics
While the statement at the time derid ed by
Democrats and reform Republicans of the Queen
City, the subsequent attitude of the big boss who
persistently remained in the background, lent
sembance of truth to the decla ration, but that il
all prearranged scheme of deception has been
made apparent by recent developments. At no time
has his hold the machine weakened, fact con-
clusively shown by the announcement that at his
personal command two Republican judges of the
superior court, Judges Ferris and Hosea to be
denied denomination. Judge Ferris, who has been
on the bench for twenty years, in a state ment to
the press ascrbes their turn down the fact that
they appointed Amor Smith trustee of the Cincin-
natl Southern railroad without first getting Cox's
consent.
Judge Ferris says that he called upon Cox in be-
half of Hosea but at the time had intimaton of
his own danger Cox told him Hosea had dis
pleased him by making the Smith appointment, and
that he would not permit his renomInation. Later
Ferris learned ne slated for retirement and sent
friends to try to get Cox to change his mind. They
told by the brutal boss that neither Ferris nor
Hosea were to be nominated that they had ignored
him in making Smith trustee and for thi 8 reason
would be punished. Asked If he would be candi
date before the convention Judge Ferris said /:
''No, that is useless. No matter how many friends
might have in the convention, they woud not dare
for various to vote for me.'
But then Boss Cox has retired from active
politics He will retire when he is forced to-not
before. What boss-controlled party the Republic
ans OF Ohio have become Cox rules absolutely at
Cincinnati, Brown at Toledo Karshner at Columbus,
Burton at Cleveland, Bieser at Dayton, while the
Ve dominate and control the state orga nzation and
abe state conventions and all five bosses are

she always lived an exemplary life
and during her last sickness she
often spoke of her blessed Savior

and was ready to go, and during
all her sickness she never mur-

her pain was most intense, she
simply said 81 am suffering SO, 81

that her absence is just for awhile.
For we all will meet again
Where the trials OF life shall cease
Where death has freed our bodies from pain
And We leave this world In peace.

tor MISUNDERSTANDING, Dear Sir
Enclosed you will find One
Dollar to apply on my subscrip.
tion to your valuable paper, as
am delinquent about five months,
and 1 don't enjoy reading paper
that l am in debt for. That is
not doing as 1 would wish to be
done by. I can't ask any one to
send me a paper, and sit down
and enjoy reading it, and keep
thinking, "Well, 1 bavn't paid for
it," Please accept the money
order for one dollar and oblige the
writer,
Say, Mr.. Editor, who is Old Sif
1 see that he is rustler, but he
has his ups and downs, and many
hardships to encounter. The
main trouble is his appetite. 1t
seems he tries to eat every thing
that comes in sight. Say, 81, come
to Missouri and try and canvass
and see the hospitality of the
people of Missouri. This is the
land of plenty. 1 will guarantee
you to get all you can eat and all
the butter milk you can drink,
but no roastlng-ears, now, as they
are out of season. A little later
on you may fill up on sausage.
If your appetite Graves squash,
and pumpkins, you had better
bring them with you, as they are
scarce here,
However, there is another thing
you must bear in mind we have
local option in this Mercer County,
so if you will need little strong
drink, for your stomache's sake,
you better bring italong with you.
l feel sighted little at 81, for he
never called on me for my sub.
scription. l am sure that / would
have been glad to see old 81, and
become better acquainted. So
come out some morning and see me.
All you have to do is to introduce
yourself as Old ST and l will have
jar of butter milk brought to
quench your appetites, and notify
the neighbors of great demand
for butter milk. So come and try
your luck in old Missouri.
This has been very dry season
here; just enough rain to keep
crops growing till the latter part
of August. Since then we have
had very little rain and the corn
mas suffered some for lack of
moisture. Apples and peaches
we're nearly all frozen in May:
April was warm, and pushed the
'ruit forward. Grain of all kinds
8 tolerably good. The belief is
hat corn will be little chaftie.
Early potatoes are good, but late
mes not much account. Very
little fall plowing is done as it is
90 dry. Hay was good this sea-
on. We had wet spring, and
laving dry fall. Have had no
'illing frosts as yet. Stock is
ringing good prices. Horses

TALKING AT SEA.
Two Ocean Liners Crossing in Op- pOsite Directions Use the
 Wireless Method.

The marvels of wireless telegraphy are great enough to render recent use of the system not sufficiently won- derful to be extraordinary, perhaps, yet the incident reported by Cham bers' Journal is one which appeals to the imagination.
 Two Cunard liners, the Lucania and the Campania, were crossing the At lantic in opposite directions. Each, knowing the date of the others sail ing, could make a calculation as to the hour when they would most likely meet. When the hour came the vessels were too far apart to sight each other. Presently, however, the warning bell of the wireless telegraphic apparatus in the Campania tinkled, and the mes- sage was spelled out: "Are you there? -Lucania" And then the two vessels, still invisible to each other, and, as it was found, 36 miles apart, talked for some hours, exchanging experiences as to the weather, and finally parting with the word "good-by" when they were 140 miles asunder.
 Such a conversation carried on be- tween vessels in the open ocean, sep arated by such a vast stretch of wa ter and out of sight of each other, Is an impressive illustration of what wireless telegraphy means.

KILLING OF THE CHINCHILLA.
Fur Dealers in This Country Are Deeply Interested in Its Danger
 of ExterminatiOn.

Fur dealers are much interested in the news from Chilli that the chin chilla has almost been exterminated by fur hunters and that stringent measures will have to be applied to prevent the extinction of the animal there. In spite of laws for it's pro- tection in Bolivia, the chinchilla has almost entirely disappeared from that republic, and furriers fear that it may disappear in Chili as well, re- ports the New York Sun.
 According to customs reports the number of the animals killed in Chilli has increased greatly in recent years. The number of chinchilla belts ex- ported in 1900 was 695,3 300, more than double the exports of 1898.
 A scientific society in Chih has al- ready drafted law forbidding the hunting of the chinchilla for four or five years in certain regions, and ai- lowing hunting elsewhere for only half the year. It also forbids the use of firearms, dogs, fire and, in fact, everything except traps.
 The fur dealers expect that the law will be enacted and predict that the price of chinchilla fur will soon be very much higher.

A GOOD EDITOR

A good editor, first of all, should be limitless reservoir for receiving advice, yet receive it as the ocean takes its rivers, and still retain his own saline, individual flavor. He should aim to be un- derstood rather than admired, and should desire a reputation for sense rather than philosopy. Wis dom is doubtless desirable, but effects its purpose quicker when clothed in the garb of wit.
 He should know how to say things. An editor must be word artist, a cunning moulder of phras es. He must be gothic and not classic in his word structures, with sharp cornices and freizes, with jagged and unsuspected towers. He must be interesting or be con- tent with a small subscription list. A reader enjoys a shock better than a soporofic; and it is a nice question for ethics to settle wheth- CT 1t is not better to intoxicate than to drug a man. The American people read too much, and over readers, like over-eaters, require much spice, pepper and condi- ment.
 An editor should possess a superficial knowledge of all things, and should be. ah]e to nse that knowledge at all times, without a moments warning and without special effort. His pen should transcribe the image of his thought as quick as the sun casts a shadow. Rapidly is his golden virtue. The firstling of his heart must be the frstling of his hand j;
