When we come to contemplate the
vast field Of natural western %esource
available for food, for industry and
for commerce when we attempt to
grasp In one act of thought, the
length and breadth and depth Of the
riches with which Providence has
loaded this section; when we try to
realize how every possible want, every
material aspiration Of man can be
bountlfully provided for; when we
consider how mcasureless are the
values which will spring into being un-
der the Republican policy Of dealing
with the west, and how these values
when once created are solid and real.
can be incorporated into the endur-
ing structure of human society, we
may begin to estimate properly the
measure Of responsibility which rests
upon this nation and its chosen rulers.
This is not merely to preserve I'M

crty which leaves the individual citi-
zen free to do his share in work OF
development, but to adopt such meas-
ures as will prevent the waste Of nat.

progress and promote the final triumph
of civilization. The record Of the Re
publican party is one of progress.
Allurinx Vision of Greatness.
Judge Taft not only knows and
loves the west, and favors developing
it to the maximum limit, but he also
knows Japan, China, the Philippines.
the South Sea Islands and all the
South American republics whose shores
are washed by the expansive Pacific
ocean and whose products are destined
to augment the commercial supremacy
Of our Pacific coast cities and the
trade centerS on all the transconti-
mental railroads. His well-known pol
icies provide for the west as well as
the east, the north and south and far
away possessions.
Looking at the great War Secretary
from this viewpoint, is there any won
der that the west is for Taft and Sher-

The death and injury toll of July 4

In the current issue Of the Journal OF

The most common cause of injury
was the blank cartridge and the hand

graduates itself upon the decreasing

the death toll Of cases. The almost

one Of the diseases most to be dreaded

TAFT GAINING STRENGTH.
Independent Political Writer Finds
Republican Candidate Popular.

Independent Political Writer Finds
Republican Candidate Popular.
Walter Wellman, the Washington
correspondent Of the Chicago Record
Herald, thinks Taft is gaining strength.
Writing Of his candidacy recently he
said:
at is not denied tina for some weeks
after the Chicag o convention there was
In the East, ut least, an undertone Of
prejudice against Judge Taft. %sprlnging
from the belief hat he was Il mere
echo of Roosevelt; that he was mot
his own man." that he could not have
beer nominated but for the President S
aid, and that he Is only a stalking horse
for the man at Oyster Bay. Curiously
enough, many men who like Roosevelt,
and would vote for him If he were to
'un again, felt lukewarm toward Taft
because Of this belief that he was only
the Presidents shadow. Now this feoi-
ing is largely wearing away. Il never
was entertained by men who kneT the
fncts. who knew Taft himself, who
we've familiar with the strength OF his
character, his Independence of mind.
I'ut the men who did entertain it are
beginning to perceive that lie is his
own man and a strong one ut that.
The more speeches Taft makes, the
more frankly and plainly he tatks, tho
less will there be Of this mistaken no
t:.n that he is overshadowed by an

ard injunction questions and his r;ain,
blunt denial Of the foolish story that
he once said 81 a day was wages
enough for a working man, has dcne
him more good than his more labored
and pretentious efforts. .-
Judge Taft's friends argue that to
some extent he has been a nisunlcr-
stood man, and they want him to take
the stump to show the country what
be r~eally.is. They would like to have
tie masses Of the people look upon him
n the same way as he Is looked upon
by residents of this city, where he Ii

characters we have ever had In public
life. This is my own opinion, and for
twenty years / have known aud watch
ed most of the important mon Of Con

nor a partisan. But Taft has Impressed
me, as he impresses every one whe

type Of man this country produces, ana
better fitted by temperament and train-
Ing and experience for the difficult
task Of the presidency than any mar

years. The friends and admirers OF
the Republican candidate believe the

Political Notes.

Mr.. Taft is not trying to reduce his
weight because be is afraid Of his own
shadow.
Missouri has become the first state
In lead mining, as well as zinc min
ing. If ores are to be admitted free,
as Mr.. Bryan advises. what will hap
pen to the wages of American miners .?
The wages will go down to the foreign
level and in many cases the mines will
close.
what is to be done with J.. Ham
Lewis?' asks the Memphis Commercial
Appeal, and it is somewhat nard to say,
considering the vast number Of side
shows Of which the Democratic party is
made up. But Mr.. Bryan may find
room for one more.
Mr.. Bryan says he is the heir to the
Roosevelt policies and the New York
World is supporting him because he Is
opposed to everything that Roosevelt
ndvocates. That is about rs nearly

A new school for children is to be es-
tablished at Fort Smelling this fall. There
has always been a lack of suitable teach
ers among the command at the fort, neces-
stating sending the children of officers,
enlisted men and employees to the public
schools in st. Paul for their education.
At a recent meeting of the st. Paul
school board a measure was adopted Of
fering to furnish the requisite number
of public school teachers to place the fort
school on an equal footing with the public
schools in the city. The offer has been
accepted by the fort authorities.
