Dear Mr.. Edwards-I have read the
letter you wrote the sheriff OF this
county. and which you. for some rea-
son known to yourself. gave TO the
newspapers without even awaiting his
reply. and also your statement" in
the Clarion-Ledger on the 23d instant

in regard to the subject matter of that
letter. because in it and the state

whether Intentionally or not. placed
both the sheriff and this bank in a
false light before the public. and when
I point it out to YOU l feel sure that
you will not hesitate 10 correct it.

both of us not to indulge IN cheap
demagoguery. but me. as a citizen, and
you. as citizen and officer, to try to
find out what the law is and then to
obey it, whether it be wise or unwise
in our individual Judgment.
With this Introduction, which | trust
you will pardon. will proceed to your
letter
In your first paragraph you speak
of the Bank of Yazoo City as one
which alleges that it is a state depos-
tory in spite of the fact that you
had failed to include its name in list
YOU sent out. and in spite of the fact
that it is held by you not to be a
state depository. Now, if the legisla-
ture in its wisdom had made a law
that you alone were to select and
designate the state repositories. and
your fiat alone could create them
our discussion would end here. but
either because of it's wisdom or be-
cause of its stupidity depending on
the point Of view. the legislature has
enacted no such law. and hence, my
good friend. your fiat is not necessa-
rily conclusive. 1t is true that | al

Bank Selected AS Depository.
When the act of 1905 creating state
repositories, was passed it became
the duty Of the Governor, Attorney
General and State Treasurer to notify
all banks of its provisions, which they
did Then it became the privilege of
any bank in the state to apply to the
Depository Board. composed of the
Governor, Attorney General and

per cent. of the amount for which the
bank applying was assessed for taxes

Democratic Tribute to Taft.

NboStOIl fOSl.)
The election of William H. Taft t.
be President of the United States is
assured by q substantial majority in
the Electoral College, backed by a
popular vote whose magnitude and
significance are indisputable. There is
no room for question as to the will
of the people.
While the Post has supported tie
candidacy of Mr.. Bryan in this cam
paign, we have never doubted the
qualifications of Judge Taft for the
high office to which he has aspircd.
That he measures up to the presi-
Dental stature must be universally add
mitted. He comes into Office well
qualified intellectually and with an eX-
perience such as few of our Presidents
have had.
Judge Taft has served with GiStiGc-
ton upon the bench; charged with tine
work of bringing orde- cut of chaos III
our dependency of the Philippine -, he
organized and set in operation there
form of government which has AT least
the Semblance of stability; he has
shown administrative talent as Secre-
tary of War in the Roosevelt Cabinet.
The ali round experience in high
and responsible positions, executive
and judicial, which he has enjoyed
frames up an exceptionally fine train
ing for the presidency. We believe the
government of the United States will
be safe in his hands.

ACTIVE ORANGES.


Pleasant River Grange, Patrons OF
| Husbandry, was recently instituted at
Vinalhaven under most favorable
auspices and with an enthusiastic
spirit and much interest, which
promises strong and effective or
ganization, starting with a charter list
of 20 members, including many of the
most prominent people on the island.
The event was>held on the Waston
Vinal farm, the use of which was
rendered by Hon. Frederick S. Walls.
The instituting officer was Deputy
State Organizer Geo. Nash of Cam
den, who was assisted by Mr. and Mrs.
Warren Gardner Of Rockland.
The new Grange started on good
financial basis with STA in the treas
ury. Capt A. NJ Webster offered the
Grange building which can be moved
and rcmodclled into a suitable Grange
hall.
The officers were elected and in
stalled as follows:
Master-R Frank Green.
Overseer-Clinton Calderwood.
Lecturer-Mrs. Edith Green.
Steward-Raymond Webster.
Asst Steward-Edward Grant Kit
tredge.
Chaplain-Mrs Laura Green.

Much credit for the succcssful~start
of the new Grange is due to the first

would result from such an OrganiZa-

A Grand Days Work.
(BOStOn ,JOurnal.)

NDcStoii Joul
Taft elected and the Roosevelt poll
cies indorsed by a plurality of land
slide proportions; Bryan "decently
buried" for the third time, and this
time. probably beyond hope or chance
of resurrection: a Republican Congress
chosen to back Taft up 81 q give the
people-all the pcope-a square deal

sense,
1t was argued-for Il purpose, of
coursc--that the people had had
enough reform; that it was time for
a reaction. 1t was argued-and for TIE
same purpose - that no party in
power had ever survived a panic But
anyone who can find trace of reac-
ton or dissatisfaction or distrust in
yesterdays vote for the national Re
publican ticket can find sweetness in
the lemon and pleasure in caStigation.
If it means anything at all this tri-
umph OF the ticket headed by Judge
Taft means that the American people
have formally and enthusiastically
adopted the new Republicanism. They
may not like the Roosevelt style, but
they certainly do like the Roosevelt
spirit. and the new Republicanism is
full of that spirit The President elect
himself is the embodiment of it; a
progressive man who believes with all
his heart and soul in the square deal,
His Judgment has been questioned. but
never his sincerity: and yesterdays
verdict proves that the bulk of the
people trust no less in his judgment
than in his honesty.
The vote that he received yesterday
will be regarded as great tribute to
the personal worth of Mr.. TAFT.
Whatever doubts or suspicious the
Republican platform may have left in
the public mind were removed by the
candidates straightforward utterances
on the stump. On the other hand. no
matter what the Democrats might
have written into their Denver plat
form. there remained from the cam
paigns of 1895 and 1900 the feeling. not
by any means confined to Republican
quarters, that Bryan was nothing more
than a reckless agitator. AS late as
1906 he said that he had not changed

time has done with him.
Shall the people rule?' The peo-
pie answered Bryan yesterday in a
way he had not bargained for. BY
electing Taft with overwhelming en-
thusiasm they expressed their belief
that under the Roosevelt policies they
are ruling, and to their own deep aud
abiding satisfaction.

hundred. And the surviving five hun

deWy eve: comparing, pricing. choos-
ing, buying and forwarding to their
customers the goods that they demand.
The surplus forty-five hundred were
eliminated because they We're not reg

fascinating business of shopping only
as an avocation, used it as a side line
to increase their incomes by buying
things for casual customers in their
off hours
The first professional shopper in New
York IS woman who, began in 1884,
and is still at the head of an increas-
ing business that has far outgrown her

less remarkable, but rather more so.
Against the Governor of New York
were directed all the forces of preju-
dice, all the intriguers who oppose

politicians of his own party and of
other parties. If ever there were a
triumph of the people it is this tri-

The country has refused to be
stampeded. 1t has quietly, but none

of discomfort has been compelled t"
retreat before an adversely Of forum"
as mighty as any that lie has en-
countered in his long experience of re-

been convinced that the nation does
not want him for it's President. IF

him it must do so now. If conviction
can ever again force itself upon the

piloted upon the rocks it now has its

The Result in Maine.

Nobody questions Names RepuDli-

what OF a surprise that such large
vote was cast in this State Tuesday
tory reached such great proportions.
Absolutely no campaign was waged
here in Maine except that which pre-
ccded the State election September IA.
and that was wagcd largely along State
and local lines From September IA to
November 3 there was about as little
doing along political lines as can pos
sibly be tie case in a part of the world
Where the people are the sovereign
rulers. The newspapers, to be sure.
were full of political matter from the
seats of war in other states. but the
party organiza tons did nothing, no raj
lies We're held except by the college
boys in their respective towns, and
when election day itself came around
there was absolutely no attempt to get
out large vote.
The result shows that there was no
apathy or Indifference here in Maine
after all The intelligent citizens of
the State We're watching the great ma
final battle and doing their own think
ing. and when the day came they went
to the polls and did their duty. The
total vote, which was we'll past the
100000 mark. was exceptionally large
for a presidential election and the Re-
publican plurality of nearly $4,000 was
age for the past half century and more
in which the Republican party has
been winning a continuous series of
victories here in Maine.
The country knew what Maine was
going to do but the message sent from
this State throughout the Union on
election night was none the less a
gratifying one. 1t told that the Re
publcans in the Pine Tree State are
wide awake at all times and intensely
loyal to their party, and that they need
no urging or agitation to bring out
the expression of their convictions at
the polls. In every part of the State
the Republican victory was a sweeping
one. Every county was carried for
Taft. even Knox county going Repub
