dates within the memory of this
generation; Taft is unquestion-
ably the best equipped. in train
ing and experience, and in wide
and close contact with large af-
fairs. In one important respect
his equipment is unlike that of
any of the Presidents, no one Of
whom had ever served uron the
bench. With the exception of
those nominated upon their mill
tary records, and two or three
who had been governors of their
states, the Presidents have been
men whose political training was
in the legislative, branch. Taft
" as never in Congress. nor even
in his state legislature. He is
wholly without personal expert
ence in what is called practical
politics. He was educated for
the bar, early became a Judge:
the whole trend Of his thought
and of. his ambition has been in
the line Of the judiciary. and his
ingrained judicial temperament
ls was that made him so conspic-
uously useful. and successful in
the many difficult administrative
problems he was later Gale ] up
on to solve.
It was a distinct sacrifice he
made when President Mckinley
took him from a life position he
enjoyed, and that was in line of
his dearest hopes, to lay upon
him the burden of establishing
peace and order in the Philip
pines. The judgment, tact and
skill with which he carried on
that great task; the candid diplo-
macy with which he smoothed
away perplexing obstacles; the
unselfish devotion with which he
has upheld the interests of those
far away people in the face of
Indifference eat home, were an
honor to the nation. The same
qualities of "a wise adjudicator
have been repeatedly at the SER
vice of the country. In Cuba, in
Panama. in Japan, it has been
necessary only to send for Taft. ,
Misunderstanding are cleared
up and difficulties vanish before
this gracious personality, this
calm, clear, disentangling mind.
His intelle ctual integrity and dis
interestedness have been as un-
mistakable as his quiet strength,
his unswerving sense of justice,
his absolute honesty. It is not a
a mind that moves by impulse or
in startling flashes; it is a mind
well poised and of singular lucid
ity, that reaches it's results by
logical principles, which do not
antagonize, but convince.-Phil.

HAPPY CONDITIONS.

HAPPY CONDITIONS.
As Republicans we have every
reason to feel supremely happy
over the progress being made in
the Presidential campaign during
the past week. At. last our peo-
pie are beginning. to realize the
responsibilities resting on them,
and in Ohio, Indiana, New York.
and many other states, have at
last realized that something deep.
er. broader, and of greater i'm
portance than their little petty
jealousies and personal aggrand-
izement is at. stake. -.
In Ohio the differences be-
tween Foraker and Taft thave
been relegated to the rear, and
all elements Of the party have
reunited for the one common
purpose of electing a Republican
President to continue the good
work so well and faithfully in
augurated by the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. Taft's whirlwind
speeches through Ohio and Vir-
ginia have been masterpieces of
craftsmanship and show that the
Republican party made no mis-
take in nominating a man that
has the courage of his convic-
tions.
In Iowa common sense has at
last prevailed, and the bitter
fight that SO long existed between
the Allison forces on the one side
and Gov. Cummins ssthe central
figure on the other, has been
eradicated by the seeming prov
idential Intervention at this par
ticular time. The people in Iowa
have acted wisely and well in the
selection, as viewed from the
present standpoint, of Cummins
for U. S. Senator from Iowa.
We hail him as a reformer, clean
and pure, both in public and pri-
vate life, and as such will add
great strength to the advanced
sentiment of public opinion.
which is today demanding cleaner
and purer men in public life.
There can no longer be doubt
about either Ohio or Iowa
In New York the same happy
condition exists, for Gov. Hughes
has made himself so popular
with the masses of the people
in the fierce battle he openly
waged against all classes of i'm
morality. including race-track
gambling, that the better ele-
ment of all political parties will
rally to his support, and while
the Doodle element in the party
would if possible, nominate some
other man for governor, his
star is fixed in the eastern hori-
zon to point the way to purer
and better things in the rotten
old stare of New York and kim
die the fires around the hearth
stone of Taft and Sherman.
The speeches of Bryan have
also acted as a godsend to the
situation. When he tells the far
mer who is selling his wool at
18 cents per pound that he will
knock the tariff on this commod-
ity into a cooked hat and place
foreign importation on the free
list he stirred up a hornets nest
that will continue to buzz around
his ears until long after the No
vember election. When a man
who howled so long on free silver
at a ratio of 16 to / and is now
willing to stand on a gold plat

several bids. the $500. dropping to
800, $50 and finally $25 at time, the

few minor exceptions, would be pack
ed and shipped to Denver within the
next two or three days, the fixtures
and some of the heavier articles pos
sibly being disposed of in Durango.
Mr.. GuIdman further added that he
wanted to compliment Durango upon
her splendid class of business men.
He said he had never been in q com.
munity where he encountered more
gentlemanly and courteous merchants
than he found in our city. And he did
not leave The Herald out of considera.

find town of this size supporting
such an up-to-date paper-clean and
wholesome in every way. showing

While the price bid is not up to the
three-fourths clause OF the inventory,
