Closer union, indeed the formation
of new dominion by the British
South African colonies, has been re-
garded by far-seeing men as certain
to come in time. The time may be
nearer than has been generally sup
posed. Last month delegates of the
self-governing colonies met in Pretoria
to discuss interstate customs and rail
way regulations. They took occasion
also to pass a resolution in favor of a
closer political union The sugges-
tfon was that a convention be called
comprising 12 delegates from Cape
Colony, eight from the Transvaal and
five each from the Orange River colo.
ny and Natal, and that these delegates
draft provisional constitution. The
members of the customs convention
agreed to lay the resolution before
their respective governments, and the
general belief is that the governments
will at least go so far as to approve
the convention and appoint delegates,
although final acceptance or rejection
OF whatever agreement might be
reached will rest with each colonial
government

Philadelphia has recently gone
through an experience which the ma
jority of its citizens would not care to
repeat. The occasion was Tag day."
Large numbers of attractive young
women interested in a charitable work
had prepared small tags representing
various sums of money. These they
took with them into the streets and
public conveyances and into stores
and business Offices. Whenever a per
son was induced to give anything, a
tag for the amount was pinned on his
coat. The presence of one tag by no
means conferred immunity. Rather
was it a sign to other solicitors that
the wearer was an easy mark" and
so he was importuned further until he
became all gummed up with tags. The
ostensible spirit of fun is not enough
to redeem so bold a method of hold
up, remarks the Youths Companion,
and those who do give, even If they
grin, are left in a rebellious frame of
mind not conducive to future benefac-
tions. How to raise money for good
works in worthy ways might well form
course of study in the new schools
OF social science.

WITH THE NOMINEE
NEW YORK REPUBLICANS A UNIT
FOR TAFT.
Party's Standard Bearer Assured of
Loyal Support in the Empire State
Business Men Are Awake
to His Value.

Mr. Taft is too wise and too consid-
crate of the attitude he should main
tain toward state politics to seek to
influence New York or any other state
in the selection of its officers. AS
citizen and a party man, vitally inter
ested in the outcome of the election,
he naturally has his favorite for the
governorship of New York. This pref
erence is we'll known to be the pres
ent occupant of the office, which fact
thoroughly discredits the efforts made
in the past to represent Mr.. Roosevelt
as inimicable to the governor, for Mr..
Taft and Mr. Roosevelt are doubtless
in agreement in this matter. The out
look in the state election is excellent
for the Republican party All attempts
made to have it appear that the EN-
pire state Republicans are seriously
at odds is part of the general misrep-
reservations of the Democrats. The
Republicans will carry the state for
Taft, no matter who may be the guber-
Material nominee.
Everything is shaping up beautifully.
There is not a missing link in the ac-
cord of the party upon national issues.
Mr. Taft made himself solid with New
York by his early announcement of
the favorite son principle. He is
known to have played fair before the
convention met, and he will be given
a square deal by New York at the
election. The tremendous impression
made by Mr. Taft, however, is not con-
fined to politicians. The business men
of the metropolis-the financiers and
the men of wide affairs generally-are
looking to Mr.. Taft as their salvation
from the flotsam and jetsam that other
wise would overwhelm them.
Mr.. Taft has been tested, and he is
believed to be sound to the core.
Business men generally put his quail
fcations beyond party and sum them
up very succinctly. Mr.. Taft knows
the territory he is to work; he has
travelled every part of 1t; he knows the
line of goods his party has to offer;
he knows the tastes of the people; he
is acquainted with the obstacles to be
overcome; he is fully informed as to
the trade competition OF other pow
ers he is just the man to represent
the American people in every capacity
president is called upon to fill. This
satisfies the business men. They know
his acumen; they believe in his princi-
ples they trust his wisdom.
For all these reasons, aside from the
generally favorable political state of
the case, New York will be solid for
Taft This is a matter of felicitation
to the country in general that regards
the New York vote as most important.
The country wants Taft-certainly the
section of the people who are most
keenly sensitive to the elements in the
nations life on which depend its pros
perity. Therefore, Taft will fill the
bill for the country. His acceptability
to the conservative business interests
of the metropolis is indication of his
general acceptability to this class the
nation oyer.-Buffalo Express.

THREE BALLOONS IN A RACE.
Unique Rules Governed a Contest for.
Cup.

North Adams, Mass.-The bal
loon North Adams No. /, with A.
ID. Potter of Greenfield as pilot and
Holland Forbes and daughter Natalie,
aged II years, as passengers, and
owned by the North Adams Aero club,
undoubtedly won the cup Offered by
Mr.. Forbes in the first poi,lt-to-point
race ever held in this country The
race was started from North Adams
Friday afternoon. The North Adams
No. l landed on the farm of Lyman
Sanderson at West Whateley, about
five miles from its previously declared
destination, Haydenville. This was
the first balloon to get away. The
Greylock, owned and piloted by Dr.
Roger NJ Randall of North Adams
and having Clarence Wildman of this
city as passenger, landed on the Bry-
ant farm in AshfielG, fully II miles
from it's desired destination, Leeds.
The third balloon to start, the
Heart of the Berkshires, owned by
the Aero Club of Pittsburg, was the
last to land. coming down in Amherst,
within six and one-quarter miles of
Whateley station, its destination.
The conditions of the race were
that, previous to the race. the occu--
pants of the balloons should designate
some place, at least 80 miles from
North Adams, where they would at
tempt to land, that they should land
within ten miles of the postof1ice of
the place and that the balloon landing
nearest the announced destination
should win the cup.

of the leaders of the party and the fol

Mr.. Taft and the Courts.

One great advantage Mr.. Taft car.
ries with him into the present con-
test. We believe that, in spite of the
seething discomfort, and in spite Of
immigration, the American people
still believe in the supremacy of law.
They had in 1887 the opportunity to
put final power into the hands of an
executive if they wished. They had
the opportunity, also, to make of the
courts a set of mere puppets of the
temporary popular mood, or to make
the legislature supreme. They did
none of these things. They founded
courts which were to act irrespective
of pressure from executive, legisla-
ture or populace. If the people of to-
day wish to amend the constitution
they are free to do so and to remove
this power of the courts to stand be-
tween the permanent and the tenn
porary opinions of the masses. AS
long as we have courts, however, as
the final arbiters of law, it is folly to
endeavor, by short terms and by elec-
tion, instead of appointment, to make
them popular in tone. Very likely
during the term of the next president,
four members of the supreme court
of the United States will be changed
Who will be likely to put upon
that bench the higher grade of men.
Mr. Bryan or Mr.. Taft? That is one
of the most important questions the
electors must face between now and
NpvnO1hpr In the ODiniOn Of soma Of
the most intelligent citizens, it is the
most important question to be faced.

Taft and Bryan COMPARED.

Taft is by nature, culture and action
a conservative, with an experience Of
indicated value in jurisprudence and
in administrative work. Bryan's skin
holds the core of a radical, the tenn
permanent OF an actor, the instinct of a
Bohemian, and the gay residence of an
adyenturer on every sea of eXpedien-
cy. Taft steers by the light of con-
science, reason, judgment, constitu-
tion and history. Bryan begins life
every morning and has sobered in de-
meanor only by his contact with occa-
sions Occasions have wrought no
mental or moral change in him at all.
No thoughtful man would make Bryan
his executor. No thoughtful man
should make 6ry2n his executive.
The intimates of the two men are as
unlike as the two men theI. selves.
The people know that well. The
judges, scientists, statesmen, pub
licists, scholars and men of leading
who have and who share the friend
ship and the confidence of Taft. and
the motley wear of the shouters, ad-
venturers, bosses, time-servers and
charlatans who fellowship and revel
with Bryan, have been thrown on more
than tlashlight view at Denver, in
Lincoln and elsewhere, for days past,
and will be for months to come.

It corrects inability to hold water
