sniveling fear He comes not to meet
Taft on his own ground of differen-
ton of policies, but seeks to cloud the
matter In words which mean nothing.
We had hoped that by this time Bry-
an would take up Taft's challenge as
flung down at Cincinnati and give us
something of real sincerity. What
Bryan has done is a virtual acknowl-
edgement that Taft has the right of
the matter and that the democratic
platform is full Of tricky double
meanings which deceive no one. APP
parently, Bryan thinks that people
will be mislead into believing that the
democratic doctrines are the same as
the republican. Mr.. Taft effectually
dispelled that feeling in his speech in
clear exposition. Take the real thing
and avoid limitations. Substitutions
are dangerous. The man who wants
to sell you something just as good is

"ALL RIGHT"

All over the country the press is
echoing the dictum of the people,
"Taft's all right. Bills all right" The
sigh of relief which arose when the
speech was over and it was more ap-
parent than ever that Taft had kept
his head and had fallen into no Demo
cratic traps; that Taft had displayed
conspicuously the sturdy common
sense; and that above all, he was for
a progressive government along the
policies of Theodore Roosevelt, indi-
Gated the profound satisfaction of ev-
eryone. We are pleased to say that
every metropolitan paper has charac-
terized the speech as being a master
piece of sincerity, and sound judgment
whether they be Democratic or Repub-
lican. There is nothing in the speech
which does not show the clear and I'M
trammeled vision of the jurist and a
fearlessness Of utterance. And so 1t
is that every one is saying with a
pleased expression, Taft is a man.

McGREGOR is ON TRIAL.
COURT BAILIFF WHO TURNS
STATES EVIDENCE SAYS LARGE
AMOUNT WAS GIVEN COMMIS-
SIONERS FOR CONTRACT.

indianapolis, Ind, July 3O.-Emmett
S. Higgins, former bailiff in the coun-
ty commissioners court, has turned
states evidence against John McGreg-
or, president of the board of commits
sioners. who is on trial on the charge
of accepting and soliciting a bride
from the Atlas Engine company. Hug
gins testified that he engineered a
deal by which the engine company
paid the board $1,000 for a $2l .331
contract. He stated that McGregor's
price in the transaction was $1,000.
Huggins's testimony is that he, Nc
Gregor and Thos. Spafford, former
commissioners, were to receive $1,000
each. No explanation has been made
as to what became of the remaining
$500.
1t was stated about the court house
that the experts now employed on the
books of the county were preparing to
make a demand on Higgins for large
sum which they believe is due from
him because of the drawings Of vari
Gus warrants which they have ques-
toned. The amount of this claim, it
was stated, would be $1,000 or $4,000.
The defense proposes to meet Hug
gins's testimony in the POSITION that
the $500 did not go any farther than
Huggins, that he received it for him.
self and kept it. Henry N. Span, Of
counsel for McGregor, made this an
nouncement in arguing a point of law
during the hearing.
Prosecutor Hooton, in presenting
the states case to the jury said that it
will be shown that representatives of
the Atlas met Higgins in the court
house tower and delivered the money
to him. ,k1AAa-A

CHAM BE RLAIN.

The announcement in this morn
ing's dispatches that Joseph Cham
berlain is falling rapidly, brings us
face to face with the fact that a new
generation is about to take the place
Of the old in England. 1t is not many
months since Britain's premier was
laid away. From now on one must
look to such men as Winston Church
i'll to take the reigns Of government.
Chamberlain is an empire builder.
1t was to Chamberlain and Cecil
Rhodes that England owes her vast
sovereignty in South Africa. The
sympathies of America were for the
most part in favor, or rather in SYM
pathy with the Beers. But we are be-
ginning to see now that the policy of
England would have been thwarted en-
tirely by the policies of Kruger. We
would never have seen the marvellous
development Of the continent of Afri-
ca from Cape to Cairo, which is the
work Of Chamberlain. The war was
cruel, but we have no reason to be-
lieve that Chamberlain was not acting
in the best interest Of his country and
the empire when he removed the OBJ
stacle which lay in the path of de-
velopment and civilization. We
should not be surprised, If after the
historical perspective of years has ar
rived, that it will be found that his
torians will view the terrible carnage
in South Africa as justified. Be that
as 1t may, it is undeniable that the
former citizens of the Dutch repub-
lies as well as all South Africa are
now enjoying better government than
they did before the war.
Joseph Chamberlain is passing, but
at this juncture it is we'll to consid-
er his enormous personal attainments,
his skill in politics and his iron poll
cy, and to put him in his place with
the other empire builders to whom
England's greatness is due.

Assessor
CHARLES E. POTTER,
BRYAN cRiTIcizEs.

Weshad expected that Bryan would
say that Taft had stolen his thunder
again. That is a flimsy excuse, Mr..
Bryan can not lay his hand on any one
OF the materially important things
which Taft had to say in his speech
which savored in the slightest Of Bry-
anism. In fact, on almost every top
ic. Taft comes forth fairly and
sQuarely before the people and In un-
mistakable language. He points out
clearly the difference between the DEM
ocratic and republican point of view.
Especially is this true in the case of
his remarks on the tariff, on the in
junction. the trusts, the regulation of
interstate commerce. AS regards the
physical valuation of railroads he
gives the history of it's origin-repub-
lican. In no case can it be demon
strated that Taft has any ambition to
emulate Mr.. Bryan, IL there was any
keynote In the speech 1t was the differ
entiation Of the two platforms, which
branded Mr.. Bryan forever as being on
the path to destruction Of business,
and not the republican method of re-
moving harmful abuses of good laws,
so that business may so on In a
healthy and normal fashion.
Nor will the people of the country
see in this very refusal of Mr.. Taft
to kill the prosperity of the country
any faint OF fear. 1t is merely sound
common sense. Mr.. Bryan charges
Taft OF being afraid of announcing
his real reforms" If by reforms
Bryan means 'strangulation by demo
cratic folly" we think that Taft is
afraid
The announcement made yesterday
Of his views on Taft's speech have not
added one suggestion to thinking
minds. the very language is that OF

LOVER WITH Ak
Man Peeps Under Blinds and
Sees the Couple Together.

Petersburg, Va, July 30.-John Ash
by Mullen, prominent citizen of Pet
ersburg, killed Elijah l.. Cole, an I'M
married man, whom he caught in the
bed-chamber of his wife. Coles head
was crushed to jelly by repeated
blows with an ak.
Mullen, who is locked up, and his
wife, who only escaped the same fate
as Cole by fleeing from her enraged
husband, both made statements last
night There is considerable differ
ence between the two versions of the
tragedy.
1t is probable the defendant will
plead the unwritten law as his extern
uation of the crime. Mrs. Mullen
maintains that there was nothing
wrong in her relations with Cole.
The husband went to his home yes,
terday afternoon, and, peeping through
the Stats of the blinds in his wife's
room, saw her and Cole together.
