Chicago Evening Post: Taft is ad-
mirably fitted to follow Roosevelt.
His administrative policies will be the
administrative policies of the path
finder. They were his policies as soon
as they were Roosevelt's, and the pres
ident has said 80. There is too much
mental substance to the secretary Of
war to be any mans thought shadow
He will take the measures which the
people have approved and will give
them a place in the law. He will
initiate measures of own, and if the
country sanctions them he will work
with Roosevelt energy to carry them
into effect. Taft is broad, progressive
and safe. The legiAation urged by
the president, but which was received
sullenly by congress, will have in Taft
a forceful advocate. He will see that
it is fitted to the needs Of the people
and to the limitations of the consti'
tuition.

Kansas City Times: The republi-
can party, in nominating Secretary
TAFT for the presidency, has taken the
least possible risk, political or national,
that could have been incurred by the
action of its convention. Mr.. Taft is
the strongest candidate that could have
been named; he is the best equipped
executive available for the office.
Never before has any party in this
country named for the presidency q
man more admirably prepared for the
Office by training and experience OF
more strongly backed BY accomplish
ments than is Secretary Taft. He is
q great judge. He is a great diplo'
mat. He is a great executive. He
understands business and business con-

and he has done them easily, expedi'
tiously and without friction. What is
more. Mr.. Taft knows the whole coun

He knows the new possessions as ne
other man knows them. He has trav

DIMINUTIvE POSTOFFIcE.
Smallest Government Building Be.
tween New York and San
Francisco.

Wawasee, in Kosciusko county. has
the smallest postofice building in the
United States, at least Postmaster
Jesse NJ. Sargent believes that he is
housed i'll the smallest Government
building from New York to SanFran-
cisco, and from Maine to- the Gull
of Mexico. This particular building
is something less than SIX feet In
height and it is about FIVE feet square.
Hundreds of persons receive their
mail daily from this place, for many
persons drawn from the middle West
are spending the summer at Wawasee
There are many persons who visit
Wawasee who would like the distinc-
tfon of having been in the smalles,

as Postmaster Sargent puts it, 1T is

The bali game in the afternoon be-

Argos Blues. was holly contested,
and one of the best seen on the
grounds this season, the game going
thirteen innings with the score 2 TO
3 in favor of Twin Lake Excellent
plays were made by both sides, a
feature of the game being the excel

The Country's Supply of Cash.

1t amounts to $685.. ss,276 AS the
gold production of the country stands

to touch record-breaking figures Oy
New Years of 1909
These big gains in the amount-of
money in circulation are calcula ed
to make Bryan wish some of his pre-
dictions of 1893 and 1900 could be
wiped off the slate. One of his COM
plants in his first canvass was that
the refusal to throw the minis open
to silver would reduce the stock of
money in the hards of the people o
such degree that there would not
be enough to take care of the ex,
changes. Like all his other political
Representations his one burned out

years, but It has grown faster than

HALF OF THE
COUNTRY DRY
FORTY MILLION PEOPLE LIV-
ING IN PLACES WHERE
SALOONS ARE FORBID
DENSE LIQUOR
HOUSES CLOSED
DAILY.

Nearly forty million people in the
United States now live in prohibition
territory" AT first glance the above
statement made by DR.. P. A. Baker
general superinte ndent of the Anti
Saloon League, may seem extrava-
giant, but DR.. Baker says it is based
upon accurate figures compiled in the
league departments, and that the
number is swelling daily. Few peo-
pie realize that the temperance wave
has swept over the country with such
vigor in the last few years that now
nearly one-half the population of the
United States is situated in territory
where the saloon is forbidden.
'The temperance people OF this
country have been closing saloons in
the United States at the rate of thir-
ty day during the year 1905" said
DR.. Baker, "and | believe that it will
continue at that rate during the rest
of the year About eight million peo-
pie abolished saloons last year and
am confident that this year those fig
ures will be duplicated 1t is not
fully realized by the general public
that the temperance movement has
been so universally successful as it
has.
Partly by State abolition of sa-
looms and TO greater degree by local
option the prohibition territory of
the United States has been increased
until there are now 4O.OO0,O 900 people
living in places where the saloon is
forbidden. Eight states are in the
prohibition list and we hope to put
more there. Last spring people liv-
ing in the State of Illinois abolished
1900 saloons in one day.
"The Anti-Saloon League is not in
terested in partisan politics. We have
nothing directly to- do with the Pro-
hibition party. Our work is carried
on by the members of all parties We
have a political department, but it IS
not concerned with the partisan side
of politics.

a trip to Salt Lake City and other

mons are in favor of the county local
option and are seeking to elect men
to the legislatures who will pledge
themselves to the passage. OF such a
measure. The Mormons are in favor
OF the. county local option movement
and are working for it diligently.
The authorities of the Mormon
church are cooperating splendidly in
this work and we are securing good
organization all through the coun-
try"

WANT MERITED
COURT DECISIONS
RESOLUTIONS MED BY
SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF
AMERICAN BAR ASSO-
CATION DENOUNCE
DELAY OF
JUSTICE.

Courts of Appeal will no longer de-
eide either civil or criminal litiga-
tons brought before them on purely
technical points, but will base their
rulings on the merit of the case il
the recommendation formulated by
a special committee of the American
Bar Association shall become law.
The committee was appointed by the
association at its last annual meeting
TO suggest remedies and frame pro-
posed laws to prevent delay and I'M
necessary cost in litigation. Its re-
port will be presented at the next
annual meeting to be held in Seattle
from Aug 25 to %.
1t opens with a statement that the
existing evil which seems most serd-
Gus to the committee is the DISPOSE
ton in many jurisdictions to dispose
of appeals, or writs of error, both in
civil and criminal cases, upon techni.
cal grounds, and not to decide them
upon their merits In the judgment of
the committee the rule for deciding
appeals and writs of error should no,
be based OH reversible error COM
mitted in the court below, but upon
the record.
Continuing, the report calls atten-
ton to the fact that the tendency OF
the courts in common law cases IS to
construe adherence 10 strict legal
rules as thu right OF each party ana
TO reverse if there has been any in
fraction of these rules"
This makes the trial of case a
game" declared the committee, ''in
which the one wins who plays the
most skllfully, the merits of the con-
troversy having no part"
The unrestricted right to a writ of
error in criminal cases is characteriz.
ed by the committee as a fragrant
abuse in judicial procedure
The committee declares that the re-
forms in civil procedure which it
recommends are not theoretical, but
have been tried and adopted in Eng
land to the satisfaction of the bar
and the benefit of Etigants.
The committee will submit the
draft of an act to amend in the par
ticulars concerned the judicial pro-
cedure of courts of the United States.
