TAFT NEEDS HELP.

Everybody expected it.
Roosevelt to edit his letter of accept
ance. and the president will weld the
blue pencil to a fare-you- we'll.
Taft has not forgotten his Decora-
ton day blunder when, speaking at
the tomb Of the dead soldier. he made
uncomplimentary reference to Gener-
al Grants indulgence in strong liquor.
Taft knows that he cannot afford to
make any more blunders like that. He
also knows that Mr. Roosevelt, with
his keener perception, doesn't make
plumbers that can be used against him.
Therefore the candidate figures that if
the president will help him, he can
turn out a letter of acceptance which
will be all to the good. And he prob
ably will.
appears on the surface. 1t apparently
solves the overcoming problem OF
What We are to do with our eX-presi-
dents, and that other later problem of
what Mr.. Roosevelt is going to 90 with
himself when he retires from office.
Roosevelt is to become Tat,s CEN
sor. When Understanding that he is
going to be elected-wants to write a
red-hot message to the senate roast
ing the bad, bad corporations, he will
turn his rough draft over to Mr.
Roosevelt and the latter will work w
the finished product. so that when the
message is read in the senate nobody
will feel hurt over it.
And then, again. when Mr.. Taft has
any new candidates to offer for the
Ananias club, he will have Mr.. Roose-
Welt fix up the candidates credentials
in proper style-because Mr. Roosevelt
knows how.
The scheme ought to work out ad-
mirably for all parties concerned. The
story is told that when Taft was al
Yale a learned professor asked him
what he expected to make out of him
self and the future candidate replied:
II don't know; I am too light for
heavy work and too heavy for light

Taft dreamed of being president with
Mr. Roosevelt as his first assistant.

NEW YORK, July "a new form
of freak insurance recently issued by

surance, which has recently been taken
out by lease holders in New York in

ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN.

ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN.
When all is said that can be said IN
opposition to Bryan, it will still remain
true that he stands for the Roosevelt
policies, as the people understand them
that have made the president so popu-
lar among the people. Taft, it is said
also stands for these Roosevelt policies
but if so he does not have and will not
have the support Of his party's leaders
and legislators in carrying them out
Roosevelt himself could not carry out
his policies to any great extent, so II
cannot be expected that Taft can dc
so. Neither could Bryan, without a
far different congress, but Bryan would
not be handicapped by the need OF
being harmonious with the leaders in
congress for party's sake.
1t is demonstrable that most of the
policies that have made Roosevelt sc
strong among the people are those ad-
vocated by Bryan during the past Il
years. and in most cases put by him OF
on his motion into democratic national
platforms Hence why should not the
people favor Bryan more than they
have done before? If they approve and
applaud Roosevelt because of those
policies, why should they not even
more approve and applaud Bryan, who
has been preaching them the last doz-
en- years or more? 1t seems to be thu
Organism of Roosevelt that the people
like; why then should they not like
the Organism of Bryan all the better:
Bryan's Clothes have fitted Roose-
welt fairly well, but they fit Bryan
even better.
1t is these considerations that rem
der the result doubtful, in the great
middle west Not only must millions
Of voters perceive that the Roosevelt
policies are Bryans policies, but they
cannot avoid looking at the record
Of that last congress, enough, it would
seem, to overthrow any party thai
served that most of the professe(
Roosevelt policies were scornfully re-
jected by the republican convention
and that a Cannon lieutenant wa:
nominated to run with Taft.

strong Roosevelt newspaper, says:

Just now there, is more talk In New
York about the sheath gown and sucn
light summer topics then there is
about politics. One can hardly blame
the fair sex for trying to keep cool by
almost any style of dress in sweltering
New York during the summer months.
But the men find it hard to get used
to the sheath gown. A Gibson girl of
willowy. serpentine form appeared on
Broadway a few days ago in a sheath
gown that fitted her form as closely as
the skin of an eel She walked proudly
for five or six blocks above Fiftieth
street while a crowd of men and boys
stared from every corner But suddenly
something gave way and she made
a. quick dive for a news stand, and
buying one of New York's big dailies
she hastily retreated to a stairway. In
a few moments she reappeared with
newspaper wrapped around her below
the waist and signaled a cabby to stop.
She was soon whirled away to her
dressmaker's for repairs.
With the sheath gown has come
habit of holding the skirt ''just a lit
tie above two feet" and sometimes
moro than that if the weather is a lit
tie damp
But fashion notes are not in my line,
experts. Very truly yours.

BRYAN AT TREASURY HELM.
How Would Business Men Regard
Secretary Chosen by Hmm

How would the financial community
like to face panic under II Bryan
secretary of the treasury? This ques-
tion goes to the heart OF the degree Of
Bryan administration. Even If we had
a new Bryan. sobered by the response
bility of his office, would business men
feel the assurance of prompt. energetic
and intelligent action to protect the
public faith and save the money mar
ket from disturbance which would be
looked for under secretary Of the
treasury named by Mr. Taft? business
men are likely to ponder this seriously
between now and November
II Is not necessary to assume that
Mr.. Bryan still favors opening the
mints to the free coinage of silver to
raise Il grave doubt AS to his attitude
on all questions affecting the mainte-
nance of the financial fabric of the
country. Up to the convention of 1901
he would not even agree to an express
sion of opinion that the silver question
had been sidetracked by the great out
put Of gold, and his present assoela
lions and surroundings are such that
1t Is doubtful II he could make any sin
cere declaration which would go far to
establish confidence In his financial
sanity.-BOston Transcript.

breaches Economic Adsurdities In
Same Old Way.


MIR Bryan, who started out very con.
servatisely at the opening of the cam
paign, resolving evidently to get the
confidence of certain editors and busl-
ness men who could not stand his
aforetime radicalism. has broken
through the traces and given UP trying
TO be good. His speech on the trusts
at Indianapolis puts him back In his
old position of advocating the destrue=
ton of anything that does not meet
his Views without regard To method or
consequences.
As usual, he IL not specific as to
what means should be employed to
carry out his designs He simply In n
general way wants TO destroy the so
called trusts both large and small. re-
gardless of the consequences to others
engaged In similar business or of the
consuming public. lie tells us one day
that the American people should be al
lowed to purchase where they can buy
the cheapest, and another day lie tells
us that the money from the pockets of
the people Is flowing into the Golfers of
the trusts. If the latter he true ii must
he because the people are buying
where they buy the cheapest, and If
the trust mndc goods are the cheapest
then they serve the consumer rather
than injure him.
Mr. Bryan simply does not know
what II trust Is. Mr.. Bryan does not
know how to handle financial prob.
lens, Industrial problems or even pc
litcal problems. We have on our stat-
ute books today laws providing for the
machinery to punish any illegitimate
business and TO remedy any inequali-
ties or injustice. Mr. Bryan has not put
forth any Views showing how to i'm
prove present methods.

mittec Of the house gave more time
and attention to the various bills pre-
sented but II was found that no bill
could be introduced that would be- sat

Democrats nor Republicans have been
