Perhaps no other man could have es-

recover his breath and then defed them
to their teeth. Despite their proof he
baff1ed them, and virtue was not its

In leaving New York he hoped that

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
DEATH OF COUPLE
Man and Wife Found Dead
Floating in Lake.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 29.-Myste-
ry surrounds what is believed to have
been a double drowning in Lake Syl-
via, four miles west of Annandale,
Mimi, where Geo. Raisback, vice pres
ident of the Hake Paper company, of
New York City, and his wife have been
occupying a cottage for two weeks.
They were last seen last night.
Early yesterday the body Of Mrs. Rails
back was found floating near shore.
Near by were the hat and coat of
her husband. Their boat had not been
overturned. There was no storm on
the lake. The body of the husband
was found in the lake. Mrs. Rails
backs body was badly bruised and it
is believed that her death was not due
entirely to drowning.

CLARK COMES HERE
Will Speak at the Great Sum-

ercises in August.
SUCCESS IS ASSURED

DR.. Joseph Clark or better known by
his non-de-plum Of Timothy Stand
by will be the speaker for the great
rally held by the Sunday schools OF
Wayne county. He is the internatio-
nal corresponding secretary and state
secretary of the Ohio Sunday school
association and is a man Of Internal
ional reputation as a Sunday school
worker. He is considered one Of the
most interesting speakers of the coun
try. He is versed in every phase OF
the Sunday school work and will be
the drawing card for the great rally
which is to be held August %.
This will be one of the biggest ev
ents in this line that has ever been
given in Richmond. The interest that
is being manifested by the students OF
the different Sunday schools indicates
the success of the event.

FAIRBANKS AT QUEBEC,

What to do with the Vice President
has been long a question before the
country. Now new use has been

help us out of the trouble.

the president in doing the honors for
the country.
The President of the United States
has enough to do, and the country has
no office corresponding to what is
known in Europe as Chamberlain.
The Vice President in that position
could fill a needed want in as much
as his duties are not onerous.
Such a plan would be an admirable
training school for future diplomatic
work. We are not surprised then to
see Fairbanks name mentioned by
Europeans as a man who would be
persona grata to the European courts.
Mr.. Fairbanks has shown up so we'll
that such a suggestion is gratifying to

THE CHAUTAUQUA,

There never was time in our
country when people have had so
many advantages for culture or enter
tainment and there has never before
been so much demand for the best in
struction and amusement. So it is
that the many hundreds Of Chautau-
quas have sprung up giving to all
classes not only pleasure and a quick
ening of the mind, but relaxation and
physical betterment.
Richmond is to be congratulated on
having secured the best talent pro-
durable for its Chautauqua. There
will be enough variety for all to en-.
joy it and no one needs to be told
the beauties of the Glen. 1t is an
ideal place for relaxation and a fine
setting for the splendid program
which has been arranged. We hope
that everybody will turn out. We do

WHAT TAFT SAYS.

AS a piece of writing, Taft's speech
stands as monument not only to his
sound judgment, his political sagacity
and his fearless honesty but also to
his complete grasp of the condition of
the country. Those who feared that
Taft would be a reactionary have no
cause for anxiety-throughout the
whole speech Taft shows a progress
sive tendency tempered with the ut
most sanity. He wishes things done
for the welfare of the country-not
snowy and spectacular moves which
would injure the innocent bystander
more than the present evil.
The note sustained throughout the
speech and impressed most strongly
upon the voter, is the fact that his
stand will be one of continuing Roose-
velt's policies. This work accom-
plished in the interests of square deal
ing, must be clinched to be made eff
fective. In this, above all, he takes
courage in the awakening of the pub
lie conscience not only in political af-
fairs but alIb in business. We have
commenced, but let us continue fear
lessly but without injustice.
Taft's views on the question of la
Dor, the courts, interstate commerce,
trusts and the tariff, voice the intelli-
gent opinion of the people so well that
no thinking voter can fail to agree
with him on the essential points. His
whole attitude is one of building up
and perfection, rather than the demo.
cratic policy of destruction.
We note with pleasure that in parti,
cular Taft nails the compulsory price

ticable. What the people want is reg
ulation-and fair and square regula.

more dangerous tampering with the

| Taft's clear vision has in common

couraged by sane and just regulation
rather than be hurt by foolish and i'm

1t is a relief to compare the vagar-
les of the democratic candidate on the
courts with sense of justice of Judge
Taft. His remarks on the abuse of
the restraining order and the use of
notice in injunction. His suggestion
of special legislation on particular
circumstances is one which will era
dictate the present trouble with out
destroying the present good points of
the statute. Here again we see the
building up process rather than the
complete demolition which the demo
cratic party would indulge in.
| In his stand on the labor question
Taft first points out what the republi.
can party has accomplished in the EN-,
ployer's liability act and the eight
hour day legislation. He recognizes
the right of labor to organize and
strike, but points out that the forcing
of unwilling men into the union Is un,
just.
| He shows the wrong and dangerous
effects of injury by laborers to prop
erty rights of their employers and
condemns the use of the secondary
boycott and establishes injunction as
pertaining to business as a property
right. He shows the double meaning
and the confusion of the democratic
platform on this subject and it's ap-
parent hope of entangling the average
citizen who desires the protection OF
favored class, whether of property
or labor. Taft desires to treat both
capital and labor fairly.
1t would be folly to treat each para.
graph separately. Taft's speech
! shows for itself. The point we have
tried to point out is Taft's essential

Snake Bites,

One OF the most important things &c
know about snake bites is that the
poisonous snakes, such as the hamad
ryad, cobra. etc. leave on the indi
vfdual only the two punctures of the
poison fangs. while the less poisonous
and harmless snakes leave besides the
two punctures the marks of advent
tious teeth. This is most important il
