THE TAFT BOOM.

Never since have been identified with the newspaper
business period of thiryve yearshave known
such persistent boosting of candidate for the presidential
nomination being done this year the interest of Taft
The literary bureau that is booming him is about the
perfectly organized in that line in the history Of the nation
Everything being done that is calculated help his
didacy And he to have gained such strong head
way by virtue of the powerful nhences behind that his
chances of capturing the nomination considered bright
1t is significant that the southern states which
peced contribute vote in the electoral college for
the republican nominee nearly solid for Taft Also the
delegates from the territories and nsuar possessions which
do have any voice in the election of PRESIDENT
for the administration candidate No doubt bitter fight will
be made by the adeens of all other candidates the
tide against the foremost aspran but whether they

In many respects the coming republican national convention
reighed with issues of graver import than any which
have arisen since the of rebellion The personality of
the respective aspans is of small compared with
the principles at stake. And notion the
question rigid control of great
atoms by the government but whether precedent shall be

a slender steel rod. Circling the rod
there are rings made of leather and Of
hard rubber, like the washers that

Then there is another great financier
who carries with him gold ink well
and would never sign a document with

upon q time, when he had, say, only
picayune million or two, he signed
paper in a deal that doubled, then ire

The Missinn Window Pane.

Every kitchen has window with
one pane out in the Brazilian town OF
Rio Grande do Sul," said a cook. THAT
town is a servants paradise. Servants
live in their own homes there, as they
should everywhere. They come to
work at in the morning, and they
quit at at night-a twelve hour day.
Quite long enough. The paneless Win
dow is for the milkman, the baker, the
butcher, so that these traders can
leave their supplies-they usually come
early-in a safe place. The Rio Grande
servant is, Of course, not there to re-
celve them. She is in bed at her own
home"

The tcilers are blaming the Republicans for the hard times and the lack of work that has made mil lions of idle men open their eyes to the danger of continuing the Repub- licans in power
 O'Neill says the money taken from Arizona to Los Angeles and nearby points during the past few months has . been all that aas saved Southern Cal Hernia from being as hard up as some of the eastern sections.
 Compared with Los Angeles, busi- ness conditions in Phoenix are fully 100 per cent better; in fact, care full comparison of the unemployed would show that in proportion Phoe- 'riX is far ahead of any of the Califor- mia cities.
 ONeill had the pleasure of hear ing Eugene V. Debs, socialist candi- date for president, speak in Los An geles. He was greeted by fully 1000 people, the majority of them men out of work. who cheered him nstily.
 O'NeiH has for some time contem- plated an eastern trip shortly, but stated this morning that he has not yet decided whether or not ne will go.

CASE OF LEPROSY
 FOUND AT CLIFTON Arrangements Made to Deport Mexican Woman to Her
 Native Land.

The following is taken from the Cop per Era, published at Clifton:
 The Mexican section of Shannon Hill was thrown into considerable ex- citment last week when W. H. Fales, chief physician of the Shannon Cop per company, discovered a case of lep- rosy in one of the Mexican families. Doctors Burcn, Smith and Goodrich were called and all of them were of the same opinion as Dr. Fales and when Dr. J. H. Lacey, county health oscer, arrived from SolomonVille, he agreed that the case had been prop erly diagnosed. Arrangements were made to deport the un- fortunate creature to her native land, Mexico. Maria Sanchez Barela is the name given by the woman. She is about fifty years old and has resided in the United States fifteen years, the greatest portion of which she spent in Arizona. She has lived on Shan non Hill several years, and has a son working at the A. C. works. She is the mother of eight children, all of which are dead except one, but it is said that none of them were afflicted with the disease. Her husband is also dead, his death having resulted from injury.
 "A great many people were excited over the discovery, but Dr. Lacey stat ed to an Era Eeporter that there was no great cause for alarm and very little danger. None of her sons six children. showed any symptoms of the disease and they have been living with her all their lives. The woman's hands and feet were badly affected and she was deported to her native land on Tuesday She was accompanied by her son and a special guard at the ex- pense of the county"

NEW YORK. Sept. 15.-Evidence of benevolent control Of the course Of prices Of stocks by we'll fortified DOW CTS, was still apparent today. Its eX- ereise did not save prices from down. ward drift. but the fall was regulated and restrained.
