The nomination of William
Howard Taft. as the republican
candidate for president. is indeed
fortunate both from party and
national standpoint. He is a man
of great ability. sound Judgment.
high character and wide experience
in public affairs. Though less i'm
pulsive and perhaps less aggressive
than the DISTINGUISHED man who
now occupies the presidential chair.
he is nevertheless just as progressive.
courageous and devoted to the inter-
ests of the people. He is. a man
after president Roosevelt's own
heart and stands for the same prin-
ciples of american citizenship. for
which he has stood and bravely
battled during all his public career.
With such : candidate and with such
a progressive platform as was ADOPT
ed and with such a splendid record
of achievement as the party has
made during the past twelve years
in power. victory can not fail to

The death of former president
Grover Cleveland at his home in
Princeton, N. j., yesterday is mourn
ed by the whole nation. He was a
democrat Of the old school-the
noblest Roman of them ALL While
many OF his own party. and those of
other parties. differed with him on
great public questions, yet no one
ever questioned his integrity.
patriotism and stern devotion to
duty as he saw it. He was one of
the great men of the country. and
will always remain a stalwart figure
in the nations history. Slow: to
form Judgment and slow to act.
yet when he had once arrived at a
conclusion and mapped out his
course, nothing could sway him from
it. When his party declared for free
silver coinage. he refused to follow
it or bulge an inch. This steadfast-
mess in the light of subsequent ex-
perience is not the least perhaps of
his services to the country.

Character in public men counts far
more than it used to and 1t possibly
counts far more in this country than
in any other where representative
government exists. This is striking
ly seen to-day in the moral calibre
of the leading candidates for the
presidency in the chief political
parties. Not only are they men of
clean, upright lives. and in most in
stances church members. A nation
that makes character in it's public
men the first requirement is a nation
that is morally sound at heart what
ever may be the evil excresences that
oftentimes appear.-Badger Herald

James S. Sherman, the republican
candidate for vice president. al

Twenty three companies manufact-

accordingly gave the farmer a letter
of Introduction to Corwin, Reeds
other friend. The grateful hayseed
fastened to deliver it. but on the
way to Corwin's Office discovered
that the flap Of the envelope was not
securely glued. Curiosity tempted
him to read the contents, which
were as follows: ''My Dear Corwin
There are two fat suckers come to
town; YOU twiddle one, I'll twiddle
t'other.' Instead of taking the
letter to Corwin. the farmer took 1t
to his opponent. and their difference
was soon arranged without the
