Willlarn Howard Taft.

The man to succeed Roosevelt
must be man of great experience,
broad sympathies, intimate UNDER
standing OF the policies and the sltu-
alton. logical mind, and a genius
for peace with unyielding determine
alton. says the Paducah. KY. Sun.
There is just one man suited for
the place in every respect and Roose-
welt has found him. Any one who
has studied the kind OF men with
whom Roosevelt surrounds himself.
would have expected Roosevelt to
find the right one for his successor.
No man in the whole world knows
the foreign relations of the United
States better than does William II.
aft. and no other man has such In
Innate knowledge of questions in
volSed in our colonial relations and
the situation in the far east. As a
jurist William II. Taft stood among
the highest OF his profession: as war
secretary he has brought the army
out of the rut OF bureaucracy. He has
started dirt to flying in Panama; he
has quieted Cuba and the Philip
pines; he has visited China and ia
pan and Russia on diplomatic mis-
sions and is the only departmental
head who has been to the Philippines.
IL elected president, he would have
to waste no time acquainting himself
with conditions. The usual break in
the continuity of policies experienced
every four or eight years would be
obviated. Taft would step into the
white house, knowing men and events
and conditions, with the tolls and the
men at hand and organized to pursue
the course for which he has declared
himself. He would be the first presi-
dent OF the United States who has
special preparation for the task as
signed him. He has been around the
world twice on official missions, be-
sides being tried in judicial, execu-
tive and colonial positions. There
is, not department of government.
with which he Is not personally ac-
quainted.
His courage and honesty are in
every way the equal of his tact.
Other possible candidates for presi-
dent avoided activity to prevent mis-
takes; but Taft undertook the most
delicate enterprises with the full
knowledge that a mistake would cost
him political preferment. Already
spoken of as Roosevelt's probable
successor. he went to his home state
two years ago and denounced corrup-
tion in his own party. Even when
seeking the Endorsement of his own
state, he refused to commit his
friends to coalition with ]. B.
Foraker, who controlled all the state
and federal patronage. and he allow
ed the people in primary to decide
his fate. His confidence was supreme,
but well founded. for not county
failed him. With the same com
placent smile. with which he salts
factorily settled the friar land trou-
hles in the Philippines. the first of
that wonderful series of diplomatic
achievements that have marked his
cabinet career, Mr.. Taft said: 81
am not fighting Senator Foraker. If
the people of Ohio want him and not
me. or want us both. or want me and
not him. 1t is for them to say. i
have friends. who oppose Mr.. Forak-
er, and friends who desire him for
senator. have no mind to inter-
fere with their rights as citizens"

the fact that four banks are
already chartered for the town
of Winona, which lies in the
heart of the best part of the

miles west of the terminus of
the railroad at Dallas, and it is
now we'll known that the rail-
road will extend west in the
coming spring. The town of

fore, and if the corn crop is a

the shortage. Let all get to-

all right in their particular place

Mondamin, Ia, Nov. &c.
e. Coon, referred to in Satur-
days Daily Mr. pareil as being
wanted at Kearney, Neb., and
Memphis, Tenn, for forgery,
was here last summer as an
electric railroad promoter, and
while here presented a check
on the bank for $40, which
went to protest, but the bank
had required an indorser, and
the matter was fixed up all
right. While here he went
under the name of w. S. Cook.
About three weeks ago the
bank here received a couple of
more checks, through their
corresponding banks, for pay
ment, one for $24O and the last
one for $40. The one for s240
was supposed to have been CIV
en- by man by the name of
Mcclure to G. q. Coon, and the
name of the Mondamin bank
and cashier was forged across
the face of it in red ink, MAX
ing a certified check of same.
These checks were cashed at
Memphis, Tenn. The check of
$40 was drawn by Coon himself
to a hotel company at Memphis
and was probably given for his
board.
