y When Judge Taft visited Akron a
Few evenings ago for the purpose
OF telling the voters ABOUT the Al
mighty has reviewed his rela-
tions with the Republican party
and how the prosperity OF the peo-
pie was to be restored by the two
of them, but principally by the
Republican party, he was introduced
by Senator Dick. This fact calls to
mind the query of the senator arte.
Taft had completed his famous
Akron speech of three years ago
when Dick rushed up to TAFT to in
quire how soon his train LETT for
washington.
Taits last Akron speech was de-
cldedly tame compared with the
former In his first speech he
gsve Boss Cox severe grilling, say
ing that If he thought that by
speaking for the Republican state
ticket of that campaign he should
do anything toward perpetuating
the reign OF Cox, he would advise
Republicans to refuse to support
Governor Herrick. ,He further said
that if he Thought that Governor
Herrick had entered into cor
rupt bargain with Cox, as charged
he would not have left Washington
70 make his speech. He said further
that II 1t were possible, he would
go to Cincinnati on election day
10 vote ageinst Cox and his ticke.
!, My brothers, what change Isl
here. Three years ago Taft denounc-
ed Cox in terms which could not
be mistaken, lie pointed him out as
a corrupt boss whose influence was
not for good, He brsnded him as
man who is to be feared and over
come in Ohio politics and now we
have the spectacle OF this same Mr.
faft, having formed an alliance with

this same Mr.. Cox, for the pur-
pose Of securing his support for
the Office OF president llerrick form
ed an pllance with Cox to secure
the governorship, but Taft has dou-
bic discounted llerrick over and
lover again Taft is running for the
highest Office in the gift OF the peo-
pie while Herrick was running for
the highest Office in the gilt of the
people OF Ohio alone. If Herrick
deserved defeat for his alliance With
Cox, how much more does TAFT
deserve defeat for his plliancc with
the same man, when the same man
has not reformed, but is the same
political boss that he was when
TAFT so bitterly denounced him Sen

made against him by Mr. Hearst

nothing has been proven against

HERE'S WHAT ASPEN
THOUGHT OF THE SHOW

Regarding the attraction to be
seen in Grand Junction tonight. the
Aspen Democrat of yesterday says
in part:
"A grand treat indeed was given
those who attended the first produc-
ton here of Mrs. Temples Tele-
gram" at the Wheeler last evening.
This refined and dainty little
comedy was a delight from the mo-
ment the curtain raised on the first
act until the last scene. 1t is to be
deplored that one of the smallest
houses of the season greeted this per-
feet performance: but what was lack
ing in numbers was made up in en-
thusiasm. Those unfortunate enough
to have missed this play failed to en-
joy one of the heartiest laughs of the
season.
.sTt was indeed refreshing to see
such galaxy of all-star actors as
sambled together as are seen in this
production. Every performer was so
perfect that it would be an injustice
to slight any of them. Their comedy
was of the highest order at all times
and was so contagious that for over
two hours the old Wheeler fairly
rang with merliment."

ASPARAGUS. HOW TO
PREPARE 1T.
Observation-Disclosures

The kitchen garden can have no
greater addition than a bed of as
paragus, and in most sections of the
state it is not so late but that plant
ings may still be made.
A deep. loamy soil is best suited
to asparagus culture. and 1t can
scarcely be made too rich by the ad-
dition of well rotted stable manure.
The manure should be plowed or
spaded in deeply and the soil put in
the best of tilth.. After the ground
has been thoroughly prepared, fur
rows are made. preferably running
north and south, and four feet apart
The plants are set from three to four
feet apart in the row, depending
upon the richness of the soil, and
from four to six inches below the
general level of the ground The
plants should not be covered to the
full depth at once. as many of the
young shoots would not be strong
enough to push through to the sur
face of the ground. On the contrary,
cover the crowns with about three
inches of soil and fill in the res.
gradually by cultivation during the
summer.
Keep the ground well cultivated
and irrigated during the season, and
they should be cut and burned. Fol-
low this by giving the bed a good
coating of manure. which is to be
worked into the soil in the spring.
The subsequent treatment of the bed
will be much the same as outlined
for the first season. No shoots should
be cut for iIse until the third season
after planting, and preferably not un-
til the fourth.
BY taking pains to start the bed
right It should last at least twenty
years. While the outlay will be
email it IS difficult to imagine any
other feature of the garden that will
afford more satisfaction.

LARGE AUDIENCE WILL
SEE THE SHOW TONIGHT.

At the Park opera house Wednes-
day. April 22. the latest successful
farce, Mrs. Temples Telegram"
will have its first production in this
city. 1t is the usual rule for ad-
vance notices of coming attractions
to be composed from the fertile
brain of the clever CD press agent
but in this instance we are going to
quote from the dramatic critic Mr..
Arthur A. Green, of the Portland
Oregonian where the play was pre-
sented recently, here it is: MRS
Temples Telegram as interpreted
by Norval MacGregor and an admir-
able supporting company, is de-
luge of mirth. 1t burst upon an au-
dience that filled ahe Helig from
orchestra to gallery three minutes
after the first act began and did not
abate until the last curtain fell. The
professional designation of good
play as a Scream" doesn't half be-
gin to express it. Minute for minute
and part for part I believe Mrs.
Temples Telegram is the funniest
farce now being presented. 1t is
easy to see why it has had four dis
tinct and successful runs in New
York there are few characters but
each one of them is essential to
considerable degree. The complica-
tions are SO excruciatingly funny and
complex that at every new develop
ment one wonders il the author
hasn't reached his limit for the lu-
dicrous and if the crowd hasn't had
enough spasms of laughter. But one
after another the situations keep
piling up until the very close finds

tions. AS a sustained piece of stage
writing it is wonder 1t is to be re-
GREETED that Mrs. Temples Tele-
gram was in but for one night only
owing to the crowded bookings. 1t
would have been good for a weeks
prosperous run. Just send us a
telegram Mrs. Temple and we will
go long way to see you again. If
you will only come back to our town
some of these fine times we will get
out the band and have a public re-
ception."
