Taft,s Boom.

Mr. Secretary Taft's presidential
stock is rising. Tuesday, May 8, John
Lawrence Sullivan declared for him,
and on Wednesday. May 8, George B
Cox of Cincinnati joined the Taft pro
cession. Ex-Governor Alexander Mon
roe Dockery of Missouri, seasoned
politician, once told me that a politician
could not afford to bear malice. So Cox
seems to think. He not only announced
himself for Taft for president, but also
for Foraker for senator and Harris,
the present accidental incumbent. for
governor. Evidently George is in for
harmony with big, big 81. But what
has become of that retirement from
politics which he flashed upon the coun-
try on the night of election day in
1905? John LIS support of Secretary
Taft is based solely on the fact that
the secretary is a big one" physically.

even Maine is WAKING Up.


At every election since the Republic
an party was organized Maine has cast
her electoral votes for the Republican
candidates, and only once or twice in
all that time have the Democrats man
aged to elect governor or any other
state officer Therefore many good
folks who do not closely note the signs
of the times will be surprised to learn
that there are indications that all is
not well with the G. o. P. in the Pine
Tree State. Nevertheless and notwith-
standing, it seems that the leaven of
tariff revision which has been working
for two or three years in Massachu-.
sets is beginning to work in Maine.
The Bath Anvil is stanch Repub-
lican paper, but it recently contained
vigorous editorial entitled "The Tar
if Injuries Maine" Shades of Nelson
Dingley, Thomas Bracket Reed and
James G. Blaine! But that must jar
the stand patters from away back and
will cause Senators William P. Frye
and Eugene Hale to sit up and take
notice. What will that pre-eminent
stand patter, Charles E. Littlefield, say
to that? Among other things, the An
vii says:
Maine without question is suffering
great deal from the high tariff schedules,
and her influence in the Republican coun-
ellis ought to be exerted in favor of revi-
sion. Unless the party grants revision
this tariff issue is extremely likely to
complete the work of purely state ques-
tons and throw Maine into the Demo-
cratic column.
The Anvil follows that pregnant par
agraph up with the statement that, so
far as the Republicans are concerned,
the six electoral votes of Maine "are
in greater danger than they have been
since the civil war; That must cause
Republicans to have creepy feeling
in the region of the spine when they
remember how near they came to los
ing those electoral votes in 1880, when
the Democrats carried Maine at the
state election in September Of that
year and when nothing but the hercu-
lean labors of James Gillespie Blaine
saved it to Garfield in November.
What fine thing it would be to see

Pessimist?

Is my good personal friend ex-Secre-
tary of the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw
becoming a pessimist? 1t really looks
that way, though hitherto he has been
cheerful as Mark Tapley. Now he
warns the country that hard times are
in sight and that before long there will
be a rousing big war on the Pacific for
the possession of the Pacific and that
we will be strictly in it as a combat
ant. He failed to say, however, that if
we had sense enough to give the Phil
ippines away there would be no neces-
sity of our mixing in a war on the Pa
cifie. The only reason why we cling
on to those pestiferous islands is pride.
We said the horse was seventeen feet
high, and we propose to stick to it.
That's our situation in the orient. Sec
rotary Shaw is one of the brightest
men in America and could render his
name immortal if he would devote all
his great mental energies to persuad
ing the jingoes to swallow their pride
and give the Philippines away or to
permit the Filipinos to set up for them
selves.
BY the way, it is said that Brother
Shaw has made the eyes of New York
financiers pop open like morning glo-
ries by arriving at his banking house
by 8 a. M every day and remaining
till 3 p. M, but he learned that habit
out in Iowa, and it abides with him to
this day. 1t is absolutely safe to say
that there is not more genial. thought
full, enjoyable financier in Greater
Gotham than Leslie NJ Shaw or man
more determined in purpose. The way
he joIlied the conceit out of the Pitts
burg bigwigs on celebrated occasion
was more amusing to plain people than
Mark Twain's Jumping Frog of Cal
averas County" When he directed
those plutocrats to meet him at his Of
fee in the treasury building at $50
a. M, the country Jakes laughed till
their sides were sore for week. 1t
taught the Pittsburg high fiers q les
son which they are not likely to forget
as long as they live. and it demonstrate
ed Secretary Shaw's capacity for get
ting even.

Hinh Priced Bread.

The sunshine and the rain, by the
subtle alchemy Of nature converted In
to walls Of corn and golden fields Of
wheat, have done much for the Repub-
lican party. Fortune has favored the
Republicans, and with infinite gall they
have seized the advantage and have
even boosted that Providence was on
the side Of the great party of God and
moralityl'
Pagan Bob Ingersoll in his wonder
full burst of word painting which in
metaphoric rhapsody described the re-
treat of Napoleon from Moscow ex-
claimed, "The infantry Of the snow
and the cavalry of the wild blast scat
tered his legions like winters withered
leaves
We are told that the backward
spring, the heavy rains and the de-
structive insects, combined with the
constant trend upward in the price Of
all commodities, are putting the price
of wheat at such point that bread is
bound to rise-that we will have either
a higher priced loaf than we have to-
day or else a smaller loaf for the same
price.
At last the rising tide of costly liv-
ing has reached the danger mark, the
mark of grave danger to the party in
power. 1t was high priced bread that
drove the system Of protection from
the British empire. 1t was high priced
bread that made England a free trade
nation more than sixty years ago and
that she will probably remain forever.
1t was high priced bread that sent the
king and queen of France to the block,
creating that revolution that drcnched
Paris in blood Bread is the staff of
life, but dear bread is the harbinger of
political death. 1t is the final straw
that always breaks the cameIs back,
High clothing, high meat, high neces-
sites of various sorts-these come, pro-
duce comment and complaint, and then
the people get used to it, but when
bread goes up-well, there seems to be
a sacredness about it, like the ark of
the covenant, that none may touch 1t
and live. The Republican party has
survived much, has faced much, has
schemed and fought and bought and
bartered and sold for political power
and continuance, but it has never met
SO dangerous foe as dear bread. If
it goes up, it will be to the Republican
party as were 'the infantry of the
snow and the cavalry of the wild
blast" to ''the silent man of destiny"
Whether it be the trust magnate or
the green bug that puts up the price Of
bread will make little difference to the
laborer with children to feed. He will
vote to GUST the party under whose adj
ministration it became dear, reasoning
that if they claim the credit for the
bounty of nature they should take the
blame if she grows parsimonious.

The PitifuI Story Told by a Deserted
Abilene Young Mother

Denver. Dec. 10.-The Post says:
An unsophisticated country girl
who had never seen a town larger
than Abilene, Kan, until she came
to Denver last April, told a pitiful tale
of mans heartlessness in cherries
room at 274O Larimer, street this
morning. She is Mrs. Charles Bran
don. Brandon, who has deserted her,
is waiter, and she says he has an
other wife living in Beloit, Kan. He
also goes under the name of A. S.
Ayres, his step-father's name
AS she talked a 7-months baby,
whose coming into the world has
caused her such great trouble, cooed
and laughed and played on the floor
as innocently happy as a child of for
tune unconscious of the misery of its
environment; little needing the fact
that its mother was not certain how
their next meal would be provided.
The mothers story is not an I'M
usual one. Born and brought up on a
little farm twenty miles from Abilene
the world Charley Brandon was her
first lover. He was brought up on a
neighboring farm. "Once he drove
seventeen miles through an awful rain
just to see me-" she said, with touch
ing pride.
1t was the courtship of a farmers
boy and an orphan girl. and lasted
couple of years before they were mar
T1e1. But the boy WAS not enIlTely
unSophiSticated; he had worried in
store in Abilene and also in Beloit.
Last February she came to Denver.
He followed and for couple of
months they were happy. Then city
life began to spoil Brandon. He got
to drinking and found some fast COM
paniOns of his own age. He grew tired
of the country girl wife. He first
started to work in a grading outfit, but
finally became a Larimer street waiter

baby and nearly let them starve
Once she had only 3 cents to live on
for three days. She walked the
streets trying to find him and saw him
through the windows of a restaurant
sitting with a couple of what seemed
to her well-dressed girls, buying
drinks.
A few weeks ago he packed his
trunk and left. He took the photo
graph she had of him. She said last
night that she had to beg and plead
with him before he finally consented
to let her keep it.
When asked to show it she took it
tepderly from a table drawer wher>
as if it was the most precious of all
her possessions.
Mrs. Brandon is a comely girl ap-
parently with no notion of the wick
edness and cruelty of the world. Yes
terday, because she had no money
with which to buy food and because
the other people in the rooming house
urged her, using every argument they
could, she went to the district attor-
ney and asked him if he could not
make Brandon give her So or 81 a
week to live upon until the baby got
old enough so she could work. With
the greatest reluctance she finally
signed a warrant for his arrest for
non-support.
This morning she asked: Don't

TRADE SCHOOLS.
Industrial Education to Be a Part of
ChicagO's System.

Chicago, Dec. 10.-Indistrial educa-
ton as part of the public school sys-
tenn is to be a fact in Chicago in the
near future. Plans for a group of trade
Scholastic be put into effect possibly
within two years-are now taking form
in the minds of several members of the
board of education, and three at least
of the trustees have, taken active steps
toward their realization.
Otto c. Schneider, president of the
board, is gathering statistics on trade
schools in various parts of the world
particularly in Germany and Switzer-
land-and is preparing a comprehensive
report which will be used in formulat-
ing a plan for Chicago.
Dr.. Alfred D. Kohn, during his re-
cent European trip, spent much of his
time visiting trade schools and gather
ing data to be used in Chicago. This
now is in the hands of President
Schneider.
