 It is mistake for our leading pub.
 lie men to show that they hold in low esteem the vice presidency-thati it is
 not an inviting honor. It is an office
 that has been held by John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and other equally able men, and it is too important a place to be turned over to a weak man.-Norwich Bulletin.
 A statistician has figured out that according to the number of drinks sold in the District of Columbia there was an average last year of 100 for every man, woman and child. As some of them must be teetotalers, there is pretty good number left for the regulars. No wonder prohibi- tion makes little headway in that center.-Meriden Journal.
 When one contemplates with what eloquence republican orators and or gans would be claiming for the Roosevelt administration full credit for good times, if he had them now, 1t is easier to understand the capt.- vating silence of these forces, now that we have had bad times, and there is no democratic administration anywhere to blame for them.-New Haven Union.
 Governor Hughes has signed a bill which passed the assembly last week and which is designed to abolish re- beating at elections.

 Since Mir Lawson got his billion- dollar charter, Bay State gas stock has been picked up in the street. A waiter in Providence, R. l., Thursday night saw d man throw a package, and this proved to contain 12,OO0 shares of Bay State gas. The man disappeared. and it is a question whether he was drunk. crazy, a thief or just tomlawsoned. The l2.OOO shares can be had by their owner whenever he shows up. The waiter has no use for them.-Springfeld Re- publican.
 The authorities who make the statement that whereas under the old law about fifty-five hundred Chinese in the Philippines held license to use opium. only about four hundred hold license under the new law, believe that the number of users of the drug is actually decreased in like propor- tion. And the Chinese are credited with being heartily in favor of the of the law prohibiting the sale Of opium to the natives. All Of which is good sign.-New Bed ford, Mass, Standard.

When Admiral Evans, plainly showing the effects of his illness, call ed on President Roosevelt last week, he was most cordially received and it is said the president expressed regret that congress had not seen fit to cre- ate the office of vice admiral as a reward for the long and splendid service of the sick admiral. And yet there are those who believe that the president is the power behind the throne that has prevented the rais- ing of Evans to the vice admiralty.

The Hartford Times asks "Can Taft Be Elected" He surely can if the Times and the other democratic papers give their support as they gave it to the republican candidate in 1896 and 1900. If all the demo- crats will support the candidate named at the Denver convention, Taft's tour around the circle will amount to naught. Will the demo- crats all line up together this fall or will they once more kick over the traces? Let us wait and see.

Secretary Taft, like many another absentee will learn that his business if the presidential campaign is his business-has gone on as well or bet ter during his absence than during his presence. His nomination is al- most assured, though the president, who may be considered his principal packer, is not at all pleased just now with the instrument that the political managers have selected to carry out the will of the delegates to the Chi cago convention. Julius Caesar Bur rows, the senior senator from Michi- gan, has been elected temporary chairman. He is a man of resound- ing voice but it is said the president wanted Beveridge for this place. Senator Burrows said that he would go to the country house of his son-in- law to write his speech. It will not be the kind of a speech that Mn Beveridge would write or improvise for that matter. Senator Scott of West Virginia, who managed the selection of Burrows and who is not more enamored than Burrows of the presidents policy, has perhaps ex- pressed the situation in nutshell, when he said that it was not only necessary to nominate q candidate but also to elect him, meaning there by that the reactionaries like himself, Foraker, Aldrich, Cannon and others would be needed in the campaign and at the polls and that it would be just as well to recognize their branch of the republican party.

Connecticut editors are alarmed just now, the republican kind, lest they carried their abuse of Speaker Cannon so far that he will refuse to name Congressman Hill as a mem- Der of the proposed currency commits sion. When a man or a party wants a favor it is pretty good policy not to heap insult and ridicule on the man that has the distribution of the aforesaid favors. Speaker Cannon has been pretty thoroughly abused by part of the republican press of Con- necticut, and yet he is not the only republican czar that has occupied the speakers chair in the national house of representatives.

More than a billion dollars will have been appropriated by the six tieth congress before its day of ad- journment now fixed for the 23rd of May. The exact figures will not be known until the closing day, but at present they appear to aggregate s1,- O26,000,000. This is the largest ap- propriation ever reached by con- gress in a single session. Last year, when the appropriation amounted to s943,000,000, it was at that time the largest amount ever before ap- propriated. The appropriation this session will be over eighty millions in excess of that great sum of money.

From this we may assume that MT Taft will receive the united support of the Wall street Influence, and that bankers and railroad managers will vie with each other in filling the ''dough-bags" of the republican party. The possessors of great wealth have evidently as Mir Schiff says: be come readily convinced" that they
 will be safe" in the hands of Taft.

he BRINGS GOOD NEWS
General Attorney King of the 1. & G
NJ. Speaks For Receiver As to
Removal Rumor.

Judge John NJ King, general attor-
ney for the International & Great
Northern railroad, was in Houston
last Friday, on business with Receiver
Freeman of the road. While there
Judge King took up the matter of the
rumor of the removal of the general
offices from this city to Houston with
the receiver, and to a Herald man
this morning, Judge King said Mr..
Freeman authorized him to say in
answer to that rumor that there
would be no effort made to remove
the offices from this city while the
receivership continues, or as long as
he is receiver for the road. This is
good news, even in spite of the fact
that the people here preferred not to
believe the rumor in the first place.
And this rumor business should stop.
Some one, no one ever knows just
who, starts this rumor once or twice
every year. Naturally such rumor,
effecting the interest of so important
a part of our citizenship, disturbs the
public mind, and does no good. We
are glad of Receiver Freeman's as
surances in the premises, and are
glad Judge King brought the news
home with him. Some people will
now enjoy their Christmas with bet
ter grace, and it is important that
nothing stand in the way of perfect
Christmas In the meantime the
road is going right ahead, getting
new equipment and giving the ship
pers and travellers a better service all
the time.

RB|DE
AND JUSTICE
WITH FRAUD

Ravenna, o., May 27-Loren Wright
of Nelson township, sued his wife,
Mary Collar Wright, asking the court
to set aside 8, deed by which he con-
veyed his 55-acre farm to her under
conditions of alleged fraud.
Wright says he is of feeble mind
and easily Influenced, and that last
September, A. A. Barber, justice of
the peace, prominent in Democratic
politics of Portage county, and one
of the leading citizens OF Garretts-
Vile, asked him if he did not want
to get married. He says he told Bar
Der yes, but that he did not know
anyone who would have him. He
says Barber told him he knew of a
woman who would marry him, and
that If he. would come to his Office
on a certain day he would have her
there.
He says he did as requested and
there met his wife for the first time.
He says Barber told him she would
make him a good wife and that, rely
Ing on his word, he married her. He
further alleges that he cannot read
or write and that Barber and the
woman told him it would be neces-
sary for him to execute some pa
pers before the marriage ceremony
could be performed, and that a pa
per was drawn which he signed with
his mark. He says that the paper
was not read to him.
Barber, he says, told him the pa
per was all right; that he had fixed
it so that he would be protected,
and SO he signed it. He says it prov
ed to be deed of his farm to his
new wife. He says she never lived
with him a day., that he is an old
man and will soon be charge upon
the county unless relieved. Judge
Rockwell granted temporary in
junction restraining the wife from
selling or incumbering the property.
Wright's attorneys, Webb and Webb,
of Garrettsyille, say that suit for di-
Vorce will also be entered.

Believed to be Buried on
Guinness Farm-Human
Bones Found in Pond
CORONER NEARLY DONE

Laporte, May 27.-With the return
of one more verdict Coroner Mack will
have completed the holding of in
quests on the bodies found on the farm
of Mrs. Guinness with the decision in
each finding that death was the re-
suit OF felonious homicide with the
perpetrator unknown. Coroner Mack
announced tonight that the bodies of
unidentified victims would be held
fed and claimed they would be buried
IN the rauper field.
The finding this morning of hu-
man arm and the bone OF a leg In
the muck ronds Immediately back of
the private cemetery In a locality
where ther has been no digging, will
result in further search for bodies in
a section of Mrs. Guinness farm where
there have been no excavations. The
authorities working on the theory

The state today directed the send

Richter desire expert evidence to
bring out e. rtain theories which may
be advanced.

SUSPENDED
Were Half a Dozen
Students Of High
School Who
TRIED TO PAINT TOWER

George Weeks, president Of the
Senior class. Charles White, business
manager, and Cedric Miller, Alden
Miller, Howard Weiss and Perry How
enstine, of the class of '08, Canton
High school, were suspended at 6
special meeting Of the board of educa-
tion held at the board rooms yesterday
morning The board met in special
session Tuesday night also, but at
that meeting nothing was done al
though the board was in session until
late hour. The cause for the sus-
pension of the seven young men was
misconduct last Monday morning
when they entered the school building
for the purpose of painting the tower.
Before they had even begun to do the
painting, however, the police were no
titled of their intentions and appre-
hended one of the members. Charles
White. The others escaped after a
chase by night watohman who had
been employed by the board to watch
the building against just such hap
pening as occurred.
The suspension OF the students is
until next Wednesday morning. The
young men were all at the meeting
and were given a chance to state
their own case. They all acknowledg-
ed that they were guilty of the charge
but the board was inclined to be len
lent In their cases because they all
promised to conduct themselves prop
erly so long as they were connected
with the High school.
Two other members of the High
school were before the board to an
swer to the charge OF entering the
building after hours and damaging a
number Of books. They were also sus-
pended for one week and were told
that they would be required to pay a
fine of 50 each before being allowed
to re-enter school. The fine was 10

erty of the school board. Two other
boys were called to answer to the

same Charge and they readily admit
ted their guilt. The board decided
to let them come back as soon as they
paid a fine of 81 for the damages done.
1t was stated that Juniors would be
called on the carpet by the board as
soon as investigations could be made.
They seemed to be of the opinion that
the lower class was responsible in a
great measure for the trouble into
which the Seniors had precipitated
themselves. Superintendent Baxter
stated that other matters concerning
depredations at the High school were
being investigated, the nature Of
which he was not at liberty to state at
present.
