Rochester, N. Y, Oct. 31.-Afte.
weeks campaigning in New York
city and state, which ended here
tonight with a duplicate of the
rousing demonstrations he has in
spired wherever he went, Judge w.
H. Taft made a statement to the
Associated Press, in part as follows:
THE state of New York is the
most republican part of the United
States, even more republican than
Pennsylvania. There is every indi-
cation, through that part of the state
above the Bronx, that here will be
majority for the republican ticket
nearly equal to that of the Roose-
welt vote of four years ago." This
optimistic view of the candidate
was reflected in each of his ten
speeches today.
Mr.. Bryan has always won Aug
ust and September" said Mr.. Taft,
in one of his speeches today. "That
is the character of policies he adj
vocates. They are always plausi-
BILE for the first few months on the
stump and then the power of logi-
cal analysis, that the American vot-
ers bring to bear in a long political
campaign, scatters his policies to
the wind as they ought to be scat
tered. 1t does not happen by &C
cident."
Chicago toct. 31,-"This has
been one of the greatest days 1 have
experienced in the campaign" re-
marked w. j.. Bryan, late tonight,
after full day in Indiana. Crowds
OF mammouth proportions and I'M
limited cheering were the tribute
OF the hoosier state. He frequently
left his train and was fairly mobbed
by his admirers. Nor was Bryan
alone in the ovation, for Mrs. Bryan
came in for her share and was del
uged with flowers and even with
lunch baskets.
During the day he made attacks
on Rockefeller, Carnegie, Harri-
man, President Roosevelt and Taft
He found new thoughts for argu-
ment in the speech last night at
Buffalo, OF Taft, who is quoted as
denying that Rockefeller was sup
porting him in his campaign. He
said that he felt that If Taft OBJ
ejcted to the oil king he should get
ont writ of injunction against him
as "Mr. Taft is acquainted with the
injunction business"
Mr.. Bryan will remain here till
tomorrow afternoon, when he will
proceed to Kansas and on Monda,
and speak in the north western por
ton of that state. Those engage
ments will be concluded in time K
permit him to reurn to Lincoln
thatEnight, where he will be accord
ed home coming demonstration.

London Pretty Gay.

There is no sort Of doubt that
London Is much gayer and more
attractive capital than it used to be.
We borrowed our idea OF living at
restaurants from Paris, and now we
seem to have gone one better, for we
can boast quite a bewildering num-
Der Of gay places to dine and sup at.
Americans have discovered this,
also, that our London season Is
longer and decidedly more brilliant
than that of Paris. Here to, Ameri-
cans have of late years been most
warmly welcomed in social circles,
far more so than they are in the best
French society,".
The consequence is that rich
Americans swarm over in the season,
and on the "cutlet for outlet" prin-
ciple do as much for London society
as London society does for them.
II looks indeed as If London were
busting Paris from the position OF
Mecca to the Americans.

Provisional Governor Magoon, cf
Cuba, is threatened with serious
resistance of his authority by the
people of Clenfuegos, city on the
south shore, in connection with a
100000 contract which the prov
isional government awarded to Hugh
j. Reilly, an American, for the con-
struction of the city's water works.
Recently, the city council revoked
unanimously its previous agreement
to pay three-ifths of the cost of the
water works, it being then UNDER
stood that the contract had been
withdrawn SO that the city might
build its own works. Then came
another decree from Magoon to hold
the city to its agreement. Leading
citizens then appealed to the SUI
preme Court and the people prepar-
ed to make forcible resistance.

Millions in Texas Onions.

Texas onion growers have gone
the men of the Bermuda Islands one
better and have produced Texas
Bermuda onion superior In flavor
and hardness to the Bermuda Is
lands onions.
Last summer the agent OF the
South Texas Truck Growers Assoc
citation visited the Bermuda Islands
and the Canary Islands and secured
a big consignment of seed. These
seed have produced this years onion
crop in Texas of a greater size and
of fine quality. Whereas 1t was
formerly estimated that the Bermu-
da growers shipped 100000 crates
of onions to this country annually,
it is now estimated that their ship
ments this year amounted to about
100000 crates.
Some $50 carloads of onions have
been shipped out of southwest Texas
already, and the movement is not
yet over. 1t is estimated that over
1000 carloads will be shipped.
These have brought prices at first
as high as 5000 and $500 carload
before the competition of other on
ions came in, but now are bringing
from $500 to $500 carload. The
gross returns of the onion crop in
this part of Texas will be over a
million dollars this year. This does
not include the amount sold and
consumed at home.
A few days ago a whole shipload
of onions left Galveston for Atlantic
coast ports. At the present rate

MILITARY TAX.
It Has Not Kept Pace With the In- crease in Population, It Is Said.


 Hartford, Nov 1O.-Tuesday is the day set by law for the return by treasurers of towns to the treasurer of the state of the military commuta- tion tax required by the military system of the state In the opinion of some of the experts the payment of the tax is unsatisfactory. r
 In 1898 the amount paid in to the state treasury was s154,044.S4. In the year 1906 the amount paid in was $156,92620. In 1907 the amount paid in was 61,646.76. In the nine years between 1898 and 1907 the increase in population is es- timated as about 25 per cent and the increase in the, military communication tax should be about $3S.000 or $40,- 900. On the contrary, the increase is only s7,622.16.
 In the office of the adjutant gen. eral it was said yesterday afternoon that the total enrolment as on Jan uary i, 1908, was 123,413. The num- Der liable to commutation tax was then 8S,956. The number liable to military duty in case of war was 116.36S. and the number exempt from military tax was 34,457.
 The military commutation tax is s2 head for those subject to it. The full amount would be $179,912, and of this the towns are allowed a lee way for on-collection.

 Fargo, N. D., the Warship's Sponsor.
 Quincy, Mass. Nov. 10. - A new chapter was added to the history of the American navy today when, amid the cheers of hundreds of guests, the new battleship North Dakota was launched here
 As the great vessel quivered before taking her first plunge into the water Miss Mary l.. Benton of Fargo. N. D., native daughter of the state from which the battleship takes her name, broke over her bow a bottle of cham pagne, declaring as she did so, "I name thee North Dakota"
 Among the invited guests who wit messed the launching of the battleship was John Burke, the newly reelected governor of North Dakota
 The launching of the North Dakota means the introduction. of new type of warship in the American navy. She will be the first American all-big-g gun battleship or real Dreadnought to fly the stars and stripes.
 The North Dakota, which is similar in all respects to the Delaware, which is under construction at Newport News, Va.. will have long forecastle deck extending from the bow almost to the center of the ship. The ten twelve inch guns are arranged in five turrets, two to turret, the forward turret be- ing so located that the axes of its guns are twenty four feet above the water line, and just abaft this turret is an- other, the barbette of which is of suf- fcient height for its guns to clear the roof of the forward turret.
 Abaft the break of the forecastle deck and also situated on the axis of the ship are two more twelve inch gun turrets. the guns of the forward turret in this pair firing over the roof of the after turret Abaft and near the stern is the fifth and last of the big turrets Naval men declare that no navy in the world possesses ship of the Dread nought type in which the guns are bet ter arranged.

In an editorial on June s, under

attendance at church in Wenatchee
in the following language: "One can
not help observing the fact that here
in Wenatchee most of the church at

women and children, and that the
adult male sex is conspicuous by its
absence" | felt at once that it was
different at the Methodist church, so
with your permission | will report
the figures, giving the result of at
tendance last Sunday Upon actual
count it was ascertained that there
were present at the morning service
164 adults. OF this number 90 were
women and "A men. In the evening
there were 141 present, "A women
and 81 men. At the Epworth League
meeting there were "a young ladies
and II young men present. There
were a large number of boys and
girls present especially at the morn
ing service, but they were not in
Guided in the count 1t should be
stated that the congregation did not
know why the count was made. In
fact, it was not known that there
was to be count, so that there was
the usual attendance at the regular
services. The attendance was con-
siderably below the average, espe-
cially in the evening, perhaps due
to the fact that it was uncomfortable
ly warm.

culation beyond our immediate vic
Unity, and a wrong impression might
be made as to the moral status of
our town, and especially as to the
Christian courage of our men, l am
sure that you will be more than
pleased to give space in your paper
to these facts. Very truly yours,
