By National Negro Press Bureau
Taft and Sherman will be elected.
The Negro supporters of the Admin

the followers Of the" Allies" will stand
by the nominees as a unit at the polls
in November.
This is the inspiring message now
brought home by the pilgrims who
returned this week after a ''hot old
time" at the Chicago Convention.
The colored warriors, having fought
a good fight for what they believed to
be right, should now bow to the in
evitable, like good soldiers, and in
fine imitation of the gallant Foraker,
join the dominant wing of the Repub-
lican army and turn their guns upon
the common enemy. The will of the
great majority of the party has been
expressed at Chicago; the minority,
white and black, should accept the
verdict like men and bend every effort
to bring about a mighty triumph for
Taft and Sherman over the forces of
race prescription and mobocracy, rep

St. Adams Has Tried Il.

The people of the village Of Leices-
ter. Mass. last year established the
custom of employing an hourly nurse
whose duties are to give skilled as
sistance to all classes of citizens. In
emergencies she does night work, and
attends, beside, to surgical cases and
gives daily attention TO the sick and
feeble who do not require the constant
care of nurse. Her duties do not
include the care OF contagious dis
eases. She goes from house to house,
spending an hour or more with pa
| tents. according TO their needs Each
me pays from ten TO fifty cents an
hour according to financial ability.

Justice Bert t. Cole of Windsor has
written letter explaining why he sent
those Migrants to the House of Correc-
tion instead of the county Jail.
He says the tramps wanted an
easy life in Jail without work
until warmer weather. They were
given a chance TO leave town
without arrest but refused TO go
and We're accordingly charged with
breach of the peace and sent where
they would have to work. Undoubted-
ly Justice Coles Interpretation of law
was wrong else Governor Proctor
would not have pardoned the men but
as matter of public policy 1t would
seem that the disposition of the cases
was right. The wrong of it was In the
law permitting exorbitant fees for TAX
ing the men to Rutland. Until we
have systems perfected whereby the
prisoners in all the county jais will be
compelled to work. we believe, the
proper place for most prisoners, and
especially Migrants, is at the House of
Correction where they can be supplied
with work enough TO pay their board
at least.

Massachusetts Speaks.

The last hope of the opponents of
Secretary Taft's nomination, so far as
the election Of delegates was concern
ed. has rested with Massachusetts,. II
was assumed that her influence upon
the other states OF New England
would be very great. II this section as
a whole could be held out against the
country's prevailing sentiment; and
most of the districts of the South
could be contested, and so virtually
placed in the hands of the national
committee and favorite-son move
ments be maintained intact, there was
hope. even though It had become
steadily more remote, that tire nomi-
nation of Taft might still be prevent
ed. II is seldom in national politics
that Massachusetts has occupied so
important strategic position.
What has Massachusetts said? The
two districts which have already held
conventions, the ninth and the ele-
venth, have adopted decided prefer
ence" resolutions. Agreement has al
ready been reached for doing the
same thing in the eighth district On
passes unanimously resolution say
ing: I'VE all recognize that majority
of the delegates to the convention de-
sire his CTaft's) nomination" When
1t is recalled that Senator Cranes
lieutenants have steadily insisted that
any form of reference to Taft con-
stituted, in Us essential nature, an in
struction. the extent of their conces-
sion In the twelve hours before the
convention assembled may we'll be
realized. They had been entirely right
in grouping resolutions Of preference,
expressions OF coincidence, or any other
phraseology indicating leaning
towards" Taft, as of piece with the
so-called pledges" against which they
always protested so vigorously Every
body realizes that delegates in con-
vention are actually free to do what
they please; IL this were not so most
of our conventions would be hope
lessly dead-locked. All that pledges,
instructions, resolutions, etc, amount
to, In any event, Is to let the delegates
know what their constitution think.
The gentlemen who go to Chicago
from Massachusetts can now have
little doubt on this score. A conven.
tion which declares that majority of
its delegates desire Taft's nomination
pretty effectively tells the story.
And still Senator crane must be
congratulated on the extraordinary
generalship with which his side of the
case has been managed. Massachusetts
would have liked to declare explicitly

And yet so ingeniously has the charge
been reiterated that many people sup.

everybody should rejoice in its results

administration newspaper IN the
United States, makes its headline this

and from this time forth there will
be no question on that score. Outside
Of Massachusetts, wherever the report

HIS CRIME WAS A
DELIBERATE one

oROvILLE, July 24.-Edolph
Jules. Italian murderer. who picked
OFF two of his countrymen at Camp
20. and who expressed his regret
after his arrest that he did not kill
more, says he intends to fight the
case, and, in face of eye witnesses
to prove the tragedy, and the indis-
putable evidence against him, and
his own declaration that he was sor-
ry that he did not add another man
to his list, will not plead guilty, but
will spend money for his defense in
hopes of getting jury that will dis
agree or give him sentence carry
ing with it lesser penalty than
death.
Jules says he has relatives and
friends in West Virginia who will
come to his aid. financially, and he is
expecting money from the southern
state to pay for an attorney.
Jules went to West Virginia af(fri
leaving Camp 20 last March, when
he had the trouble that eventually
led to the killing. He remained
there for some time. but his thirst
for vengeance grew SO strong that he
came clear across the continent for
the very purpose of numbering tire
men who fell victims of his bullets.
His crime was deliberate, premedi-
tated and planned weeks and months
before it was carried out. He thir e.
ed for the blood of the men who lie
declares did him wrong and drove
him from the camp. His own al a
in life after that fateful day in
March when he left Camp 20 web
threats of vengeance on his lips, was
to return some day and kill his f1r-
mer comrades. This aim has been
accomplished, in part, and he is nv
ready to fight in the courts for lis
freedom and defy the law.
