struction of what they call the grow
ing cancer of imperialism in the
policy of this country. Again in 1904,
instead of selecting the abuses and
evil for which they now seek to make
the Republican party responsible as
burden of their contentious was the
usurpation of the powers of the
executive Office by President Roosevelt
including the settlement of the
anthracite coal strike and of the
violation of the federal constitutional
limitations by the Republican party
while the extent of the trust evils was
minimized by the statement of the
party candidate that the common law
furnished sufficient remedy to sup
press it and by the general party
declaration that nothing but safe and
sane policies were to be adopted I'M
der the administration which should
follow it's success in the election"
People Do Rule.
This he said is the record of the party
whose policies it is claimed President
Roosevelt and the Republican party
pie do rule and that the will of the
people has been expressed in the Roose-
welt policy.
He spoke OF the Republican and
Democratic party in the south and de-
clared that a great number of Demo-
CTdlS are OPpOScQ W Tic 1/ciHOti dtiS
party under the political leadership and
none of them will be disappointed If
the Democrat ticket is defeated.
The Republican party in it's national
legislation, he said, had favored the
building OF the Panama canal, the re-
clamation of swamp lands, the con-
servation of forests and water re-
sources and is taking many other steps
that are for the development of the
south.
He declared that many Independent
Democrats in the south agree with the
Republican party In all it's main econ
omic doctrines and reviewing the in
dustrial progress of the south, he said,
it's business prosperity in many re-
spects depended on a reasonable pro-
tective tariff more than any other
community in the country. He declar-
ed that II Jefferson were to return to
life he would not recognize his reputed
political descendants. While there is a
good deal of declaration in the Denver
platform against Capitalization of pow
er, he said the propositions contained in
the Democrat platform are even more
federalistic in their tendencies than
those in the Republican platform.
Mr.. Taft today made an appoint
ment to meet in Cincinnati on Sep
tember 22nd, a delegation of negroes
from the National Baptist convention
to be held in Lexington, KY, from
September Is to 81. 1t is said every
state and territory will be represented
in the delegation.

More Charges Against RaynOr.
The grand jury resumed it's investi-
cations this morning. 1t is understood
that further charles against Abraham
Raynor, who was made the subject OIL
six indictments yesterday, were being
considered. Raynor now stands FORM
ally accused of murder. malicious mis-
chief and riot. The indictments, ex-
cept the one charging murder, are all
based upon his alleged actions While
the mob was destroying Loper's res
taurant Friday last. The murder
charge alleges that he took part in the
lynching of William Donnigan on the
succeeding night. The authorities
claim to have evidence that he was
also a ringleader in the raids upon the
BLACK belt" which followed the Lopez
riot and resulted in the burning or
about 35 structufes.s the demolition of
a score of BUSINESS houses, and = the
lynching of Scott Burton.
Kate Howard, who was indicted for
malicious mischief and riot in four
forms, was arrested on a bench war
rant last night. Her bail has been
fixed at $4,000 by Judge Creighton or
the circuit court who issued the war
rant. The charges against her, relate
to the looting of the Lopez restaurant.
Lopez was witness before the cor
oner's jury at 1.-The inquiry into the
death of Louis Johnson, who was found
dead in the basement of the restau-
rant 1t developed that no autopsy had
been held on the body by Coroner
Woodruff, and none of the physicians
who viewed the remains would venture
a positive opinion as to the cause OF
death. The possibility that the boy
was killed by falling into the base
ment and breaking his neck may CAUSE
an elimination of the corpse.

Except for the incident mentioned
there was no authenticated instance of
'sniping" this morning 1t is believed
that this form of disorder will disap-
pear tonight because the policemen
and deputy sheriffs will not attract
the attention on the streets that the
rifle bearing and broad hated soldiers
have. Standing under the glare of
electric lights at the street intersec-
tons, the sentries have been targets
and the fact that none Of them has
been hit is taken as proof that the
trouble makers have fired their weap-
ons chiefly for the purpose of hearing
the calls for the guard and Of seeing
the arrival of the flying squadrons
which have been sent to investigate all
such cases.
Shooting of Keys.
Rolla Keys, the boy witness against

Hallam, who was shot accidentally by
a companion yesterday, was in a salts
factory condition according to early
reports from the hospital today. The

him ranged into the upper portion of

extent of its damage can not be accur-
ately determined as yet, but Keys
chances of recovery are now consider

Residents of the east section of the

In the esteem of the residents of the

POSTMASTER DUNBAR
WANTS IMPROVEMENT

Postmaster Thomas G.. Dunbar Of
Centerville, is now working for tho
betterment of his rural route service.
Owing to the fact that his letter car
riers in the rural districts have hereto
fore been much bothered by patrons
placing loose money in mail boxes in
stead Of stamps, he desires to impress
upon the farmers that this system is
not at all desirable. in that it occas-
ions delays and in other ways binders
rapid delivery. When money for
stamps is left in the boxes mail car
riers are at this season of the year
handicapped. as Oftentimes when they
attempt to pick coins out of the
cramped boxes the money drops IN the
snow or mud. This neceSsitates car
riers Clambering out OF their wagons
to pick the money up, Patrons OF the
rural routes Mr.. Dunbar THINKS. should
use small tin cups to hold the money
if they cannot purchase enough
stamps ahead to meet their needs. All
postmasters in Wayne county Will
probably urge their patrons 10 follow
the same scheme.
