VIII MIR. Taft Lose the Negro Vote.

NJ UGH is heard now of the determin-
alton of negro voters in Ohio and in
other states tolwithold their support
from Secretary Taft if he is nominated
for president. Senator Forakers speech
at the African Methodist conferen
in Washington on Saturday seems to
have been intended deliberately to in
crease the hostility of the negro vote
to Secretary Taft. 1t made strong
impression on the members of the con-
ference. Chairman of the Ohio Afro
American League, in letter to an
Ohio congressman, asserts that 1915 per
cent. Of the negro voters Of the United
States twill cast their votes for the
straight Democratic ticket or remain
away from the polls if Secretary
Taft is nominated. If the Republican
vote should be as large this year as it
was in 1904 the Republican nominee
for president might be elected with
ost the negro vote. Apparently Secre-
tary Taft is not afraid of serious de-
fiction of negro voters, for his cam
paign for delegates continues with I'M
abated vigor and with considerable
success.-New Dominion.

LAWYERS of the state, has this to say of
the new act.
"The Montg omery bribery act, pass

tare. is worthy ofthe attention Of can
didates. 1t is the most stringent thing
OF the kind we have seen.
1t makes or classes as bribery all
promises of appointment to office, se-
curing OF places or positions in consid-
Grafton of support as well as every
gift or loan OF any money or other
thing Of value. 1t prohibits every
ehurch organization, committee, labor
organization. literary or charitable
organization from soliciting c,ntribu-
tons from candidates aud classes all
such contributions as bribes and de-
fines specifically for Just what pur
poses money msy be legitimately ex-
pended in a campaign. Ii forbids the

A Get Rich Quick Scheme.

Roy Dodge, colored, was on Thurs
day of last week committed to the
coun-y jail by Justice Pittz, to await
trial for selling to A. t. Graber a cow
owned by James Harris. 1t appears
that the COW strayed away from the
premises of Harris. Soon afterwards
Reuben Ellsworth advertised cow as
taken up. Whereupon young Dodge
went down to the Ellsworth farm and
claimed the stray as his own, and took
her away and sold her to GRADER, who
placed her in the pasture lot adjoining
his slaughter house. Harris also went
to the farm looking for his cow, but was
told that Dodge had come and claimed
the cow and taken her away. Harris
had no reason to doubt DOdge's
story; but CHANGING to drive by Grab
er's pasture he saw his COW there; and
upon going to Graber was told by him
that he bought the cow from Dodge, and
light dawned on the transaction. Ac-
cordingly Graber swore out warrant
which cut short young DOdge's short
but meteoric career towards high
finance. 1t is to be hoped that failure
in this remarkable scheme to get rich
quick may teach the young culprit
that honesty is the best policy.
