TAFT'S REPLY TO
BRYAN'S SLOGAN
Says People Rule Through
Republican Party.
MAKES POLITICAL ADDRESS

See and Hear Him--Points to Nc
kinIey's Election as an Effective
Expression of Peoples Will.
Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 22.-'The
people have ruled through the Repub-
lican party" This Is William H. Taft's
answer to Mr.. Bryan's challenge,
shall the people rule?"
The answer was made in an address
the Republican presidential candidate
made before a gathering of several
thousand Virginia Republicans who
came to the mountains to see and
hear him and to celebrate Virginia
day" To make his point perfectly
clear Mr.. Taft referred to the first
the most intelligent and effective ex-
pressions of popular will ever mani
tested to the world and the main
tenance of the gold standard and a
protective tariff by the administration
was a correct Interpretation of the
peoples will. This was shown to be
so by even a greater majority for the
party in 1900 and still greater major
ity in 1904, when Roosevelt was elect
ed, and we may well submit TO the
country whether his administration
has not expressed the will of the peo-
ple."
Preceding Mr.. Taft in a short ad-
dress Congressman C. S. Slemp had
this to say in answer to the same
question: Can 1t be possible that he
(Bryan) had reference to the political
situation III Virginia? Does he not
know that under existing laws so per
cent OF the white and 80 per cent of
the colored population of voting age
have been disfranchised? Does he
not know that they have no voice in
the government of either this state OF
this nation and can he call this rule
of the people? No wonder Mr.. Bryan
will make no political speeches in the
South. Conditions here do not square
with his battle cry

THAw CASE REJUvENATED.

Lawyers intend to handle the Thaw
case this time, and we are promised
a revision Of the lines and situation OF
this real life drama that. as a press
agent might put It. Twill make II as
unique and fresh this season. as II

counsel, too, for II makes all the

the Thaw scandal. will BE- again in the
hands Of the same capable" actress

Remembered that In difference to the
wishes of Madam Pittsburg Thaw
who relied too sincerely on her
wealth and social position, incidents
In Harry's career, which had beer
matters of newspaper notoriety at the
time of their occurrence, were origin
ally omitted by the defense. At that
time the argument of the defense was
that Harry Thaw had been made mad
by the recital OF Evelyn's wrongs
and aggravated by Stanford White
had killed him. The dementia was
temporary. only lasting long enough
to render Harry irresponsible for the
deed. and leaving him sane enough af-
forwards to go about his business.
The weakness of this absurd de-
Tense, undoubtedly concocted by the
Thaws themselves, was apparent, and
jerome kept the defense hopping
back and forth from proof of Harry S
insanity when Re killed White, to de-
Tense OF his sanity afterwards. The
result was that the jury was divided
between Evelyn and her "story" and
s'simple gown of some fiimsy stuff'
on the one hand. and the fact of Har-
Ty's guilt ON the other.
All defense Of Harry's sanity now
will be tb8wn to the winds, and he
will have to take chances on the asy-
lum for the crimfnally insane. That
is proof that he has found lawyer,

Editor Of Evening Sun:
Now that the holidays are over and
all the poor folks OF the city have
been so we'll cared. for by the three
organizations engaged In charity work
in this city, wonder II 1t has occurred
to any of your readers that such a
task could be better performed in a
more quiet way by private hands.
This thought has often occurred to
me. For one thing I do not relish
so much publicity in this charity work
and think 1t could be done more
cheaply with less system. From
things | hear at intervals 1t seems to
me especially in the case of the
Charity club that there is more sys-
tenn than charity. Then, too, that or

for the past 25 years and it seems
strange that we folks who ought to
know our own town and it's needs
best should best be able to look after
its charities.
Then there are those who have for
years been locating needy families
and making these gifts direct without
the expense of second person or
party. The churches and Sunday
schools do lots of charity work and 1t
seems TO me this is the proper medium
for those persons to use who cannot
spare the time to hunt up needy cases
and give direct help. This plan would
do away with SO much system and
perhaps inject q httie more love into

prior to 1904 became unsatisfactory
to the buyers of priced tobacco both
at home and abroad. There, We, the
growers of Kentucky, Tennessee and
Virginia, have determined to maintain
a system of preparing and handling
our tobacco in such way that will
establish a market just to ourselves
and just to the buyer and under a
guaranty sufficient to meet the re-
quirements of the most exacting. We
congratulate ourselves upon the sue

expected and in view of the fact OF

there will be no trouble In securing

Office is a cinch, when there are no
night riders about; but when a mans
life is threatened, when there is real
service to be performed, men can back
uated by motives OF seifishnescs and
desire for self-preferment, can back
away from public patronage with a
grace that is astounding TO those, who
had been harrassed and embarrassed

there were smiles at Frankfort when

Some men are possessed of that de-

man would have taken the office and
fought 1t out.
We have known of sheriffs. who

such circumstances 1t is the duty Of
the sheriff to stand up and die Ike a

because his constituents desired to

but to do just what he is called upon
to do in facing a mob.
At any rate, we should dislike TO
