fortunate for Carroll county that she

more for us in this matter than any

hard for his constituents, and we
must back him up by furnishing hin
all the information that can be OBJ

The Sun was attacked with severe
pains in the region of its pocket short
ly after it swallowed Mr.. Taft. 1t is
apparently afraid that the processes
of digestion and assimilation will
leave it so crippled and disfigured
that it will not be allowed to resume
business at the old stand next year
as the newspaper boss of the Demo-
cratic party in Maryland. On Satur-
day it said: "The national election
is absolutely disassociated from all
local State issues" and that ''the loss
of the State at national election is
no cause for anxiety among Demo-
Gratis about the succeeding State cleo
ton" Building a bridge over which
to return. All right, we will be wait

fatted calf that gets the axe; we will
keep a keen edge on that instrument
for exclusive use on the prodigal Sun.

Mr.. J. C. Darlington, lawyer OF

Minister Against Taft.

A prominent young minister of Ha-
gerstown is one of the numerous gen.
tlemen of the cloth who will not vote
for VIM H. Taft for President on ac-
count of Mr.. Taft's pronounced relig-
ious views. Il cannot vote for Mr.
Taft" said the minister yesterday. He
gave as his reason the undenied state
ment that Mr. Taft made recently
wherein he seriously questioned the
divinity of Christ. The minister hao
very decided views antagonistic to
those held by Mr.. Taft and stated
without reservation that he could not
and would not support him.
The minister is one of the many
preachers who will not vote for Mr.
Taft for his radical views on religion
and antagonism to the cornerstone OF
the Christian faith. There are others
in Hagerstown who will not support
Mr. Taft for the very same reason.

Bryan on n Tour.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., August 20.
William J. Bryan, Democratic can
dids tie for the presidency, left here
tonight on a seven-day trip, in the
course of which he will deliver sew
erel speeches at various places. The
first stop will be at Des Moines, Iowa
where tomorrow night he will discuss
the tariff question. Tuesday he will
be present ct the notification in In
dianapolis of John w. Kern, the Dem
ocratic vice presidential nominee
On that occasion he will speak on the
trusts. Two days later, at Topeka
Kan, he will deal with the guaranfy
of bank deposits.

A Bryan Opinion.

Editor of The Evening Post.
Your editorial, "The Adroit Bryan
in recent issue, was not so courage
Gus and consistent as those who seek
political wisdom in your columns ex-
pect. Mr.. Bryan's speech of accep-
tance is clear, well-balanced,
straight for the shoulder arraign-
ment of the Republican party, and;
compared to the verbose and tiresome
apology uttered by Mr.. Taft, it is as a
clear mountain stream to stagnant
pool.
But you would not give the reins of
government into the hands of ''the
fencer" and "circus tumbler." You
prefer them in the hands of a proxy
candidate-a man who is the misplac-
ed leader of party that reeks with
it's own rottenness-a party of false
promises, dishonest politics, and with
out regard for anything save the cor
porations it serves.
An honest "fencer'' or ''tumbler" is
far better than misplaced leader
who has not given the public soli
tary reason why he should be elected
other than to keep IN power the un
holy principles of the Republican
party.
You wonder why MI. Bryan did not
refer to the silver issue. That is a
dead issue and every voter knows it.
There is no logical reason why Mr..
Bryan should refer to silver. 1t is
not Democratic issue this year any
more than a Republican issue. In
fact, it is the Republican party's own
child, for it was born of and raised
by that party long before Mr.. Bryan
was heard of. Turn to your records
and read how Mckinley, Lodge, Can
non, and others were for silver before
the Democratic party took it into its
camp. Mr.. Bryan has just as much
right to remain silent on silver as
has the party that tried for years not
only to force it on the United States,
but on Great Britain as we'll.
The Independent voters, who are
frequently mentioned in your col
umns, will not be fooled. This year
"the Republican party must fast in
the wilderness" RIM.

For Congress,
J. F. G. TALBOT

We suggest to the Democratic State
Central Committee that they see Cen
eral Agnus and make arrangements
with him for two or more columns OF
space in either the morning American
or the afternoon American Star, said
space to be filled with Democratic
campaign news and views furnished
by the Democratic State committee,
or some person designated and en-
ployed by said committee, the space
so occupied to have proper heading
showing the source from which the
matter emanates, to relieve the paper
of responsibility, and that Democratic
readers may know where to look for
news favorable to our cause. We be-
Iieve this space could be secured
for very little money. 1t would be a
good stroke of business policy and a
fine exhibition of the square DEAL
in politics for General Agnus to
make us free gift of such space. 1t
would Just about sever the last
strand that connects the Sun with the
Democratic party. Thousands of
Democrats have already quit the Sun
and are taking the American, because
they want a paper giving the State
news, and thousands of others would
follow if the proposition outlined
were consumated.
Try it, Mr.. Vandiver. Maybe you
don't like to ask aid of the enemy,
but beggars must not be choosers.
The Sun was never friend of yours
anyhow, and you ought to be glad of
an opportunity to give it kick.

The "king wolf of the southwest" a huge brute that has terrorlzed the Tex os Panhandle for years, has been cap turcd at last. He was caught bare handed by a plainsman wolf catcher, who ran him down on a fleet broncho.
 The career of Dog Eater" as the old wolf is called, and his final arrest will go down as one of the classic ani- nal stories of the west.
 old Dog Eater today is chained to an Iron stake sunk deep in the ground a short distance out of Groom, Tex. He trots .restlessly, dragging the chain, and now and then vents his feelings in pro longed howls of rage and grief.
 Dozens of persons have been to see him at his tether standing always at a respectful distance. Every one says he is the largest wolf that ever loped across the plains or Killed a mastin dog. So immense Is he that the wolf looks almost like broncho at little distance.
 The business men of Groom, which was the center or tue WOlI uepTeua- tIons, offered a reward in cash for his capture, dead or alive, and George whatley, who captured him, Is the hero of the Panhandle today.

has been seen, his eyes blazing, his white teeth glcaming and his bushy tall waving, making his way through the streets and alleys, while house wives screamed iu terror and locked doors and men ran for cover.
 Time and agalu he has been shot at but he seemed to care nothing for bull lets. At the sound of rifle he would turn and snarl, but would not quicken his pace. He found a dog and ate him. Then he trotted lazIly away to the prairie.
 The depredations of Dog Eater were becoming so frequent and so startling, women and children were becoming so fearful of leaving home and the town was SO unsettled generally that the business men of Groom made up a purse of $50 to be paid to anybody who would dispose of the wolf.
 A little body of bold spirits, who cared less for the reward than for the zest of adventure, mounted broQchos and set out to find him. The plrty consisted of E. E. White, station agent at Groom; R. C. Daley, a banker; c. p. Boydsun, a ranchman, and George Whatley, the most daring spirit among the COW puncherS around Groom.
 .Whatley's fame as a wolf hunter was wide, and he made the boast that he would capture old Dog Eater alive, but all shook their heads.
 The party carried a strong chain, a stout leather collar, re-enforced with bands of steel. and some wire netting as an improvised muzzle, for It was the announced Intention of Whatley to bring back old Dog Eater without harmlng Q hair of his gray coat
 The men galloped away from town iD the direction taken by Dog Eater when he departed after his last inva- sion of the town a day or two before. As they rode over the prairie they kept a sharp lockout for the quarry.
 About five miles out they came in sight of Dog Eater. The immense beast stood on a little knoll. Ills body

 "Well, boys, here's where the chase begins" said Whatley, "and I'm off,"
 At the word he sank his spurs into the Hanks of his little broncho. The animal sprang forward, with a snort of pain and fear Whatley headed straight for the wolf. F
 Old Dog Eater regarded the in- coming horseman for moment. Then he turned and, with Q great leap, be- gan his flight.

Behind him thundered the broncho, with Whatley In the sad dle.
 Mile after mile pursuer and pursued raced across the plains. Little by llt- tie the broncho gained on Dog Eat CT, whose great muscles were giving way under the tremendous strain and whose breath was almost exhausted by his effort. The gritty little pony was almost upon him,
 Then a startling thing happened. It was witnessed by Whatley's compan- ions, who followed In the rear. It ale most staggered Whatley.

 Whatley's upraised hand was ready for him. He seized the lower jaw of the wolf fin a grip like a wise and held him. The others dashed up, the collar and chain were put on old Dog Eat CT, and wire was wound round his head. Weary and yanquished, his naughty spirit broken for the time be. ing, he was led behind the pony into Groom. At sight of the terror of the plains the people gave three cheers for Whatley.
 When the townspeople learned the particulars of the capture, they were dumfounded. Whatley was compelled to answer many inquiries as to wheth- CT 1t was not dangerous to capture wolves barehanded, especially to seize them by the jaw. Said he:
 "No; have caught scores of coyotes and other kinds of wolves, but never found them troublesome to handle. The secret of 1t is that a wolf cannot bite until after he has rested a few min utes. When he runs a mile or two at high rate of speed, hls tongue swells, filling his mouth, and until he can blow a few minutes he is powerless to bite you.

 -"I have read about John Abernathy catching them alive, but he uses heavy gloves to protect his hands. I don't need gloves. It is no trick to catch them by the lower jaw If you know how to do 1t.

 "Yes, old Dog Eater was hard to handle even after got his jaw, but he is safe now. He is the biggest wolf ever caught in this country"

caught in the net spread by Roosevelt

when Morton resigned he gave him a
