THE NOMlNEE-MR. TAFT.

Nominated first in the hearts of
the people and then by the practically
unanimous vote of the Republican Ma
ional convention, William Howard
Taft today starts his campaign to win
ut the polls next November in the
cause of Republicanism and Good Gov
eminent. Small party jealousies and
petty feelings have been swept away
with the naming of Taft and the party
confidently looks forward to a land
slide election and continuation of the
Rooseveltian policies, to which Mr..
Taft has pledged himself and his ad-
ministration.
Tried in nearly every walk of life
from which are taken our presidents,
William H. Taft lacks not in one de-
tail the qualities which are pre-requi-
site. His knowledge Of the law and
It's workings dates back to the years
he served as prosecuting attorney at
Cincinnati, followed by a seat on the
superior court bench. President Ben
jamin Harrison then appointed Taft
solicitor general, and his success in
this capacity marked the beginning Of
his eyentful and most useful career as
servant Of the nation. Taft was
involved in the Behring Sea troubles
with Russia and in litigation concern
Ing a tariff measure, but won decided
victories in both of these historical
cases. and against the leading counsel
of the United States.
But it was on the Federal bench in
his native state that the man who is
to be the next president, demonstrated
his judicial ability. For seven years
he held one of the most coveted posi-
tons it is in the power of nation to
give, outside of the presidency and the
supreme court. and when he resigned
to set UP for the Philippines lasting
self government, he left behind him a
wonderful record.
The more recent achievements OF
Mr.. Taft are remarkably similar to the
acts of President Roosevelt. He ac-
complished the impossible in the ORR
ent, IL such term may be used, and
gained for himself and for the United
States unfading honor in his treat
ment OF the rebellious Filipinos. So
we'll did he perform his task that just

Gambler, Fla, July 25.-During the
past few months il has been extreme
ly dry in this part OF the state and
waters have all become low. The Ok.
laWaha river especially has been very
low and Mr.. W. r. Caldwell OF this
place, who spends a good deal OF his

discovery that has aroused considera-
bic interest here. Lying on a ledge

chest, so heavy that it cannot be NOV

not revealed to anyone the location
OF this chest, which he is confident is
a treasure box sunk to its present DO

A number have offered their ser
vices to assist in raising the box. but
ne has so far declined all proffers OF
help. He proposes to raise IL himself
when the water in the river reaches
certain stage. A drummer here Tho

taken no offer.

geles Times of July 10th down on our
desk with a bang, saying in a voice

the most villainOus, brutal, exasper-
ating, devilish caricatures of William
Jennings Bryan that an opium-inham-

vile that no decent, self-respect'ng pa

what we could to defeat him through
two campaigns, and expect TO do so
again. We do not train with the Bry-

believe in decency and fairness in

everything else. Therefore we do

TALK OF AN EXERA SESSION

Some who are very close to Gov. n
B. Broward, in Tallahassee and Jack
sonville, claim that he will wait un-
til November 3rd, when the new leg
islature is elected, and then immedi-
iately call an extra session. These
friends say that the legislature to be
elected in November is more in har-
mony with the governor and that he
will have thereby less trouble to get
his pet schemes through.
There is a serious question as to
whether the new legislature will be
a legal body before January next.
The constitution of the state in ar
ticle 5, section ,, however, says: The
regular sessions of the legislature
shall be held bi-annually, commencing
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in April. A d. 1887, and on
the corresponding day of every sec
ond year thereafter; bat the govern
or may convene the same in extra
session by his proclamation. Regu-
lar sessions OF the legislature may
extend to sixty days, but no special
session convened by the governor
shall exceed twenty days"
In the yellow fever epidemic in
1855 there was a great demand for an
extra session of the legislature in or
der to pass a state board Of health
bill. Governor Perry was the chief
executive at that time, but Governor
Fleming had just been elected, as
was also a new legislature. Govern
or Perry doubted the wisdom of call
ing the old body in session and there
was grave doubt as TO whether he
could legally call the new one tOgeth-
or as some lawyers contended that
the term of Office did not begin until
the January following.
1t was finally decided to wait until
Governor Fleming was inaugurated,
and he called the legislature in spe-
cial session.

Should Governor Broward cali the
new legislature in special session the
matter would have to be settled by the
courts and all of its work tied I'D I'm.
til the question was determined.
Governor Broward by any such &C.
ton would show that he is a politi-
clan pure and simple. and in utter dis
regard of the best interests of the
state he would scheme in this way to
pass some of his pet measures.
The people of Florida do not want
any extra session, and that they do
not subscribe to Broward's policies
has been settled at the polls.-Jack-

THE PRESENT CONVICT SYSTEM

Georgia is all ablaze for a change
in its convict system. The present
one is said to be too cruel to con-

is apparently determined to make
some change in the system. The

NOW A UNITED COUNTRY

The following editorial recently ap
peared in the New York American:
1t is remarkable that the appoint
ment Of General Luke z. Wright as
secretary Of war to succeed Mr.. Taft
has received so little comment in the
north as well as in the south. We say
remarkable, because General Wright
is Of the south, southern. He served
as a Confederate soldier, and from
Shiloh to Stone River he fought with
his face ever to his foe
And now, forty-three years later,
he is at the head of the war depart
ment, governing soldiers, directing
generals, in the control of the musket-
~, the cannon, the military forces
OF the country; the first man south of
the Mason and Dixon line to hold that
position since Jefferson Davis resign
ed to go to the senate in 1857.
Not only did Wright fight against
the north, but his family entered
heartily into the war for secession.
At Stone River a brother was shot
and killed while marching by his
side. Over his grave General Wright
has erected a monument, and the
mound of his father-in-law. Admiral

most gallant of the Confederacy's sea-
men, he visits almost annually. with

WOMAN MARCHES FOUR
MEN TO PATROL BOX

The spectacle OF quartet OF able
bodied men marching before a lone
woman, armed with a revolver, caus-
ed no little excitement in the extreme
west end of the city, Sunday after
noon. The men were Con Smucznski,
Andrew Schochel, John Latoszaurez
and Gustave Schare. as they gave
their names to the police. while the
woman was Mrs. Charles Mckay, who
lives on a farm at Livernois and
Tyneman-aves.. outside the city limits.
According to the woman the men
with two others were hunting frogs
on the farm and crossed
a newly planted field. When ordered
off they refused to leave and Mr.. Nc
Kay went after them with a hoe.
which he welded with telling effect.
During the struggle Mrs. Mckay sent
her young son TO the house for a re-
volver. and, though 1t developed ar
work. II served her purpose. She
marched the men three miles TO a pa
troll box at Horatio and Thirty-fifth-
SITS, where the whole party was met
by patrol wagon and escorted to
the station. AS the trouble occurred
outside the city and the police had no
jurisdiction In the matter all were
released. Mrs. Mckay declared that
