Chicago, July 29.-Editorial comment
on the speech Of acceptance by w. II.
Taft yesterday at Cincinnati finds lit
tile but praise for the republican can
didate's effoft. Some Of the editorial
remarks made by leaders among the
newspapers follow:
New York Sun (Dem. )-Mr. Taft's
spf .ch, deplc'rable as 1t is, will not lose
hi.-.l republican vote. What relief 1T
must be to him today to have the fear
full thing off his mind and off his
conscience. The nauseating incubus
beneath which he staggers in nearly
every senten.,e>would suffocate any or
dinary man. The odious compulsion TO
seem and to be; the leaden sense
crushing debt upon which the insatia-
BILE creditor computes from hour to
hour his compound interest; the deadly
obligation to gratitude that makes that
sweetest and simplest of virtue to
seem a very vice; the never relenting
admonition to self -effacenent-did
ever man free, independent and
sane find his neck in such a yoke?
st. Louis Republic (Dem.)-Every
observant reader of the speech deliv-
cred at Cincinnati today by Mr.. Taft
will discern the steam rollers tracks.
1t is not to be forgotten that the re-
publican machine is Theodore Roose-
velt His masterful domination put
Taft in the place he would have taken
himself If he had dared risk defeat at
the polls, so the Taft acknowledge
ments yesterday were addressed more
to the master in the white house than
to the republican party. AS panegyric

lar style of recent presidential mes
sages only in the necessar. elimination

ST. Louis Globe Democrat Cep.) -
MIR. Taft makes it plain that If elect
ed. he will work along the same lines
as Mr.. Roosevelt so far as the changed
issues and conditions Will permit. This
was to be expected. Naturally the
question of iniunctions occupies
large place in Mr.. Taft's address. Tenn
porary restraining orders, he says,
should issue only in rare cases, where
the threatened changes of the status
quo would inflict irreparable injury.
The answer which Mr.. Bryan and his
friends will make to this statment is
that it leaves the present practice un-
changed. And they will be correct.
The present practice has protected
many lives and saved untold amounts
of property.
Boston Globe (dem.)-The address
of William Fl. Taft will not surprise
those familiar with the judicial tenn
permanent of the speaker. The Ian
guage of the speech shows that 1t is
the product of mind given to the
study of legal problems. Mr.. TAFT $
strong advocacy of President Roose-
velt's policies will probably please the
radical republicans in the west. ana
his statements on several important
subjects will doubtless satisfy conserv-
ative eastern republicans.
Cincinnati Commercial tribune
(rep. 1.-THE speech embodies the dig
nified. the temperate. yet forceful ex-
pressions Of a strong man deeply I'M
pressed with the honor paid to MIN,
and deeply impressed with the re-
sponsibilities of the high office to
which he will be chosen. There is a
complete summary of the tactics ana

that one remark of Judge Taft:
"The democratic platform nowhere
points out the expenditures Which
might be reduced or avoided. IL IS
easy to generalize and to make charges.
1t is difficult to specify and make gooo

AFTER CLEAN SWEEP.
People in Turkey Insist on Driving
Out High Palace Officials.

'Constantinople, July 29.-Now that
the first rejoicings over the constitu-
ton granted to Turkey by the sultan
last week are at an end the people
are beginning to discuss the future.
Already they are clamoring against the
high officials who were responsible
for the abuses and injustices Of the
old regime. Public opinion is demand
ing a clean sweep, especially Of the
palace officials who are identified with
the days of personal rule" The sui
tan, 1t is now known, broke into tears
at the conference Of Thursday, at
which it was decided to grant a con-
stitution. The young Turks in Con-
stantinople yesterday imposed the new
constitution upon number Of high Of
fivials, making them swear to support
it under threats.

intention to get the foremost farmers
of every county in the state to attend
the conventions.
The farmers national congress is as
sunling more Importance each year as
a national gathering and for that req
son there is a larger attendance each
year. Some years ago the congress met
at Rock Island. H., and there was them
a very large attendance from this
state. Since then it met in the south
and this year is the first time 1t meets
in the north again.
Kansas is agitating the subject OF

WHAT OF SENATOR FoRAkERa
Taft Puts Difficult Question Up to .
Committee.

Cincinnati, July 29.-Just what Is to
be the status OF Senator Foraker at
the opening Of the campaign at
Youngstown, September 5, is to be de-
cided by special committee of the
state executive committee. The duty
of this committee is to decide on a
speakers program. with particular in
situations to report on the advisable
iity Of inviting the senior Ohio sena-
tor to make an address. 1t was stated
that the committee would consider
the Foraker matter in three aspects:
whether to invite the senator to
speak unconditionally; to invite him
on condition that he indicate in ad-
vance the position he is to take, or not
to invite him.
The state central committee settled
the three county contests in favor of
what is termed the "simon pure Taft
men,"
The Joint session Of the state central
and executive committee was called to
order by State Chairman w. B.. Brown,
who referred to the resolutions of the
committee on it's organization, declar-
ing that the republicans of the state
were in favor of Taft for president and
said that the present meeting was
fr,,ition Of that action. Arthur l.
vorys spoke for some minutes on the
splendid ticket the state had to work
for. The party in reality, he said, had
two tickets, as an incentive, one Taft
and the other Harris. With these
united. and with the state organiza-
ton perfected, he saw no reason why
an effective fight should not be waged.
Judge Taft,s speech concluded the
meeting. 1t was received with en-
thusiasm and was generously ap-

ceived here today from many county
seats and other points. Great care has

been cultivated in the past two years
and returns are beginning to be made
from that source.
ALI parts Of Brown county report the
condition of wheat to be excellent.

touches and the quality of the yield
should be better even than that of a
wear ago. The barley is nearly all har-
vested and oats are yielding better
than expected. Barring accidents,
Brown county's crop should beat all
records.
Ipswich reports that the crops in
Edmunds country are in splendid con-
dition. Two good rains have fallen
there in the past ten days and the
wheat is filing out rapidly. Harvesting
will begin next week.
A report from Mound City states that
the crops in Campbell county should
beat all former records. A great deal
Of new land is under cultivation and
the yield will be exceptionally good
both in quality and quantity.
Mcpherson county expects to harvest
the largest crop in its history. The last
rain is having a wonderful effect on
the wheat and the quality will come up
to all expectations.
Reports from Walworth county are
to the effect that the 1908 crop should
be larger and better than any ever
known before The last rain came just
when needed.
Reports received at Webster indicate
that Day county will harvest a bumper
crop. Corn is making rapid progress
and wheat will beat all records.
In Marshall county farmers are max
ing ready to harvest the wheat, which
they say, never looked better. Other
CROPS are in f1ne condition
