Superman was ready to race at the ia

start him. Superman is robust in ap-
pearance. but he cannot stand a long

the humidity becomes factor in the
sport he wastes away and must be re-
tired. He is in good shape just now and

TAFT'S SPEECH A WINNER

Judge Taft's speech of acceptance,
which was looked for with much inter
est, and some misgiving on the part OF
some republicans, has been received
throughout the country with general.
approval 1t is great state paper.
He has elevated himself in the estima-
ton of the people. He has cleared up
the deck for action. He has raised a
banner of republicanism under which
all members of the party can work and
vote without hesitation or conscienti-
Gus scruple. With few exceptions the
party press of the different factions
express their satisfaction. The indie
pendents, too, are generally pleased
and commend his attitude on the great
issues Of the day. In reference to this
The Register and Leader speaks as
follows:
"Mr. Taft has accomplished two
apparently irreconcilable things, he
has committed himself squarely to
Rooseveltism and progressive repub-
licanism, and he has at the same time
won the substantial regard of that ele-
ment of the party that has been looking
askance at the president. In fact it
might be said he had accomplished
three irreconcilable things for, in adj
dition these two, he has established
himself in the good graces of the indie
pendents.

THE MINISTER'S AND MONEY

We notice by the press that the min
listers up at Boone got together and
passed resolutions against the Red
path Chautauqua for secularzing the
Sabbath and receiving money at the
gates on the Lords Day. When the
ministers enter protest against des-
ecration of the Sabbath they are per-
forming a duty in which they should
have the support of all good citizens.
When they declare their opposition to
the reception of money for admission
to program that is all right, their
utterance is amusing when compared
totheirgeneral practice. Ii you should
60 to church at Boone, where these
ministers ofliciate, you would hear no
sermon until after the basket had been
passed to get your donation fee to the
service. And this is all right. Ii you
attended regularly fora year you would
run up against quite number Of col
lections and subscriptions. One time
it would be missionary and another
benevolent collections. And this is all
right. Another time for coal, electric
light, repairs on the church or new
cement sidewalk. And we think this
is all right. But when Chautauqua
Bureau receives money on Sunday
for admission from those who do not
have season tickets, thenitis all wrong
say the ministers OF Boone. We do
not think so, and in the light OF their
own practice their protest is quite
amusing.

JUDGE GROSSCUP A GENTLEMAN

A number of our exchanges seem to
think it a proper and popular thing to
denounce Judge Grosscup for his opin-
ion reversing Judge Lands in the
famous twenty mine million dollar case
Notwithstanding his two associates on
the bench agreed with him. One OF our
good editorial friends expresses him
self as follows:
Judge Grosscup says he does not
care any more what Roosevelt says
than he does for what any other man
says, which makes it quite evident that
the President does not stand any high.
err with rascals in one place than in
another"
We know nothing about the correct
ness of the decision, and we care lit
tie about it; but when the ability and
character of Judge Grosscup areattack-
ed we know something about it and
care great deal about it. We have
known Judge Grosscup and followed
his course with admiration ever since
we we're young men together in college
down in Ohio, nearly forty years ago.
And we know himto be man not only
oflarge ability, but of the highest char
acter as a christian gentleman. Judges
are expected to decide legal questions
according to law instead of biased
and prejudiced public opinion.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Homer Earheart OF Viola Township Hur
By A Reaper Last Week

One of the most serious accidents of
the season occurred at the Earhart
farm, up in Viola, on Wednesday Of
last week. Homer Earhart, who was
cutting with binder drawn by four
horses, hung a jug OF water on the
names of one horse which scared him
causing him to jump any try to run.
Mr.. Earhart caught the bride but the
headstall broke which permitted the
horses TO trample him under their feet
and drag the binder over his body,
which was badly torn by the guards.
The men who we're shocking the grain
ran to his relief and also prevented
the team from doing further damage.
Doctor Childs and a physician from
Dedham were summoned in haste and
gave him needed surgical attention.

both happened to be there and are

GOVERNOR HUGHES A CANDIDATE

1t is pleasing to the people OF the
west to hear that Governor Hughes,
of New York, will stand as q candi-
date for second term. His candidacy
will be benefit to the national ticket.
1t will also compel the voters of that
state to decide for or against man
who has made signal fight for them
against some of the greatest evils that
have existed in that community. Gov
ernor Hughes is fighter and is not
willing to lie down in the midst of bat
tie even If to continue means great
sacrifice Of personal interests and a
possible defeat in his efforts for the
right. But the people of that great
state will stand by the governor; it
will solidify the Republican party and
make it solid for Taft and Sherman
east of the Allegheny mountains.

JUDGE GREEN A CANDIDATE

AS stated in this paper, last week,
Hon. w. II. Green, of Audubon, has
decided, after consulting his friends
here at home and many OF the leading
members of the bar in this judicial dis
trict, that he will be a candidate before
the state convention for nomination TO
ill the vacancy on the supreme bench
caused by the sudden death of Judge
Bishop. Judge Green is man of abil-
ity and education, having graduated
at Oberlin College. After y successful
practice at the bar in this section of
the state he was elected judge in this
district where he has given excellent
service during the last fourteen years.
He is a popular judge, His sympa-
thies are with the best element among
the people, and his decisions are sci.
dom reversed by the supreme court,
Though he has had long service at the
bar and on the bench, he is still in the
prime of life; and should he be chosen
to the higher position he would bring
to it an ability, education and expe-
rience, together with vigor of mind
and body that would promise many
years of active and efficient public SER
vice. The friends of Judge Green have
such a high opinion Of his character
as man, and his work as public
official, that they will present his name
to the convention with entire conf.
dence that IL he shall be selected he
will make a record that will be cred
