JoneSburg In Flames.

Jones burg was threatened with
destruction by fire Tuesday night
and was saved only by the bucket
brigade formed by the citizens
and farmers and who confined the
fire to one side of the square.
The loss, due to the destruction
of five buildings and their contents
is $50, 900.
The fire started in Jones & Nc
Cullough's livery stable, which
was destroyed. The flames then
swept down that side of the square
consumin G the following places of
business: Zerr & McCullogh's
butcher shop, Miss lone Dull's
millinery store, James Durmeir's
wall paper and paint store, D. M.
Heady's grocery and DR.. Deall's
private bar.
The town is without adquate fire
prot e%ction, and all that prevented
the flames from sweeping across
the street to another block was the
herculean efforts of the citizens
bucket brigade.

The Real American Girl

We have had American girls
and American girls-but none
m ore charming than the five that
you will meet in the August
D ELINBAToR. Some time ago we
asked ten artists to interpret Am
e rican Beauty for the DELINEAToR
family, and their interpretations
h ave proved not only exquisite
and typical but various. After all
isn't it the striking variety that
lends such an attractiveness to the
girls of u country? Five of
tn ese drawings by c. Warde TRAY
er Otto j. Schneider, Charles M.
Relyea, Bessie Pease Gutman and
Henry HUT will appear in the
August DELINEAToR. 1t is diff
cult to say which is the real
American girl. When these FIVE
paintings appear next month The
Editor is going to give you a
chance to give your opinion.

So too in the matter of the
tariff, Secretary Taft has insisted
on a straightforward revision
plank committing the party to a
reaojustment of the tariff sche-
dulles at a special session of Con-
gross to be called Immediately
after March 4, 1909. 1t is violating
no confidence to say that the Sec
rotary would even like to see this
attended to during the coming
winter, but the leaders in Congress
b ave pointed out to him that, in
view of the flibustering proclivi-
tives of the Democrats, it is alb
solutely futile to undertake tariff
revision in a short session of
Congress. There will be nothing
half hearted about the tariff plank
which will follow closely the lines
OF the Ohio plank.
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1908-06-12

Secretary Taft has shown his
political friends and allies that he
has a will of his own and that he
has a keen appreciation of what
he wants and does not want. For
instance, he has firmly and en-
p%hatically rejected every sugges-
ton that he permit the platform
t, be so drawn as to please the re-
dictionary faction of the party and
has insisted that without qualiti-
cation it shall be a Roosevelt
pronunciamento, asserting en-
phatically and unequivocally that
the party is committed to the
Roosevelt policies, not only those
which have already been framed
on the statutes by a more or less
reluctant Congress, but those
which have not appealed to the
last Congress, but which Mr.. Taft
will seek to have written on the
statutes precisely as would Presi-
dent Roosevelt were his term to
last long enough to accomplish
that end. There have been some
influential men in the party, who
have insisted that whatever might
be the purposes of the Secretary,
he ought to permit the platform
to be so modified that it would
not brighten the men, who are re-
garded as most capable OF contrib.
uting generously to campaign fund
but Judge Taft has been absolute
ly non-compromising and has in
sisted on standing on a platform
which accurately represented his
views.

The question of the Vice. Pres
idency also has been discussed
but both the President and the
Sc cretary of War are disposed to
leave the choice of candidate for
second place to the convention.
There is a rapidly growing eager
ness on the part of available can
didates to be nominated for second
place on the ticket with Secretary
Taft and the latest candidate to
announce his desire for the honor
is John Hays Hammond, the
mining expert, who is reputed to
be the largest salaried man in
the world, having just contracted
to work five years for certain
mining interests at a salary of
$500 900 a year. There are many
indications that Senator Dolliver
OF Iowa is growing in popularity
for second place and it would not
surprise some of the most astute
politicians to see the Iowa man
named. He is a Roosevelt man
through and through and that is
regarded as an all important
characteristic.

successor of President Roosevelt"
he declared. "He is a broad
minded, genial, w~hole-sculed man
whose administrative ability no
one can question. l do not think
there is any likelihood of Presi-
dent Roosevelt being named at
c hicago. He is good enough poll
itician to prevent such thing.

suited to carry out the work he
has begun, and l think that the
