NOMINATION OF TAFT.

TIT OW that the furious fight for the nomna-
In ton of Taft has ended, even the strong
opponents Of the President, those who have as
sailed him so severely, are accepting the situauon
as it is and are even commencing the WolN oi u'N
Chicago convention.
The so-called conservatives put up great
hattie What thev would like is a president who
bows only at the shrine OF wealth, who considers
the country simply field for the exploitation oil
capitalists, and the White House cluo mouse
for the Matching of their plans
We doubt if there is anywhere class OF men
more strictly self-contained more wrapped up N
their own devotion to themselves, more predatory
in their daring, more careless or needless oi the
rights Of others than the so-ealled special inter
ests in the United States They fought koose-
Welt tooth and nail and they fought everyone that
supported him. But when whipped they quickly
changed front and made the best OF the situation.
Taft is nominated because he has been an ar
dent supporter of the policies of President Roose-
Velt because he stands for the new era, because
he is believed TO be capable OF guiding the snip
of state during the coming years in which ques-
tions of great industrial policies will be foremost.
There cannot be a return to old things IN this
country any more than there can be return 20
the use Of the stage coach instead OF the railroad
train.
Apart from the fact that he has been a sup
porter Of what has been termed Roosevelt poll
cies," Taft is a strong and great man himself
He is no untried commander in the field OF III
ploniacv or public service. He comes OF family
that has been active in public affairs. He himself
has been a devoted student OF all the great ques-
t;ons OF the dav. He has been on the bench and
In the Cabinet Some of the most delicate prob
lens of latter day craftsmanship have been en-
trusted to him for solution. And it is remark
able fact that his conduct has been rarely criti-
rised.
With such candidate, it seems that the cleo
lion IS already decided; that while there may be
some incidental excitement before the counting
Of the votes. there is no reasonable doubt that
Taft will be elected by large majority

WHEN?

We arc frequently asked;
"When will you get into
your new building?" We
are always pleased with
this inquiry. II indicates
the kindly public interest in
the splendid progress be-
Ing made by our builders.
We have every expectation
that the work will be COM
Pleted in the early Fall,
when the doors will be
thrown open and a cordial
welcome extended to all
our good friends.

supposed to be a Democratic newspaper already
has given up the fight assuming that Bryan will
be nominated by the Democrats. The World
asks whether Taft rather than Bryan is not more
likely to bring about restoration of good times

DELAWARE FOR TAFT.

HE six votes Of the Delaware delegates were
- cast at the Chicago convention for William
H. Taft for the presidential nomination.
We have believed all along that the Delaware
delegates would support Taft. Their action is a
complete answer to the rumors circulated by the
opposition that the Delaware men had been lined
up for Senator Knox of Pennsylvania.
The Delaware delegates acted in accordance
with the wishes Of their constituents, and their
conduct, therefore, is deserving of commendation.

II would be good idea now to start on the
road for better times. We presume that most
persons, especially those out of work, are weary
of present conditions and tired of hearing the talk
of good or bad times. What they want is a re-
turn to the normal.

CARRIED CARGO
OF YOUNG WOMEN
THE SPANISH POLICE FIND VERY
STRANGE CONDITIONS ABOARD
A BIG STEAMER.

CORUNNA, Spain, July 25.-The en-
barkation at this port of number of
young women on board the Spanish
steamship Isla de Panay prior to the
sailing of the vessel, nominally for
Teneriffe, aroused the supicions of the
local authorities, and today an inves-
tigation disclosed the fact that dozens
Of young girls, mostly minors, were
slowed away on board the steamer.
The authorities forced all the young
women they found to disembark.
Some of the girls, it was learned had
been bought from their parents, while
others had run away from home. The
most plausible explanation Of the oc-
currence was that the girls were in
tended for the white slave traffic.

FUGITIVE TURKS
GRANTED AMNESTY
SULTAN'S PROCLAMATION AT
FECTS NEARLY 100000 RESI-
DENTS OF THIS COUNTRY.

NEW YORK, July 3O.-The Sultan
of Turkey through the Turkish consul
general in this city, Munji Bey, today
proclaimed general amnesty to all po-
litical fugitives, regardless of race, In
this country. This relates to about
100000 Armenians and others in the
United States.
The message received by the Turk
ish consul general from the Turkish
government is as follows:
Inform all fugitive Turkish citizens
in New York city and in all the United
States, including political fugitives,
without regard to race or nationality,
whether Greek, Armenian, Turkish,
Albanian, everything, that after pro-
mitigation of a constitution for the
Turkish empire, his majesty, the sui
tan, upon request of the government,
has granted general amnesty, and all
political fugttives may go back to
Turkey after having the necessary
passports verified at the office of the
Turkish consul general, SO Pearl street,
New York city"
The reading of the announcement to
number of his countrymen by the
consul general was greeted with cheers.
Munji Bey said:
Il regard this as the most important
step forward that has yet been taken
in Gu far q c n ro1otay +r r,,r1.;-l ;4g
zens in the United States. There are
some 100000 Turkish citizens in this
country and more than 100000 of these
are political fugitives, men who have
often longed to return to their old
homes, but have feared to do so. These
men may now go back to their coun-
try without fear. The Armenian and
the Greek Turks, all natives of one
country, can now feel that they are
welcome in the land of their birth.
This is a great day for Turkey and
the Turkish people"
He further said
The amnesty applies to political,
not criminal refugees. am sure that
those who have offended politically
and have sought an asylum in this
country will now return and help in
the work of constructing a united ma
ton. Turkey will now be as free as
the United States. Shortly, if 1 mis-
take not, there will be Turkish am
bassador at Washington. Our aim will
be to maintain the closest relations
with the United States, as, indeed, is
natural, since the conditions of citizens
of this country will be our ideal for
citizenship in Turkey.
1.-THE proclamation is made in good
faith and there will be no repetition
of the cars fiasco in regard to the
Russian duma. Turkey will now take
its former place among the nations of
the world"

The Hon. James w. Van Cleve,
President of the National Ass collation.
of Manufacturers, mas issued denun-
citation of Hon. William j. Bryan in
which he rehashes the old stock of re-
publican contentious about tariff re-
duction closing the factories and caus-
ing the people to starve. There
has been a good deal made of this by
the republican press and Charles P.
Light rehashes the matter in his organ.
1.-The truth is that Jim VanC.eve has
been for years leading republican
politician, beneficiary of the robber
tariff, who has grown rich at the ex-
pepse of the common people through
the beneficest workings of the protec-
tive tariff. His remarks on Bryan are
no more than the stump speech of any
other republican politician.

The democratic county convention
on last Saturday YVES q model for oil
parties. There was q total absence OF
any steam roller methods, there was
no manipulations by any boss OF ma
chine but all was absolutely impromr.
tn and it showed in every act as the
convention proceeded. Mr.. JOHN NJ.
Woods, the chairman was a splendid
officer and presided with dignity ard
absolute impartiality. There was q
good healthy competition but no bad
feelings and when the convention was
over there were no ssres to heal and
nj enemies to reckon with. The work
of the convention was transacted with
due dispatch but every man had bis
say and had his vote counted I r the
man he wanted to vote for. The con-
trast between the democratic conven-
ton and the republican convention
the Saturday before was striking.
There was no boss to cuss the dele
gates into line and order them what to
do and who to vote fer on each ballot.

A sad evidence of the lack Of work
and of the suffering among the un-
employed was shown in Camden, N.
j., on Monday. A big manufacturing
establishment there, that had been
partly closed on account of dull busi-
ness, advertised that it would give
employment to 400 men. AT the time
appointed to open the doors thous-
and eager workmen crowded the place,
beseeching the superintendent for en-
ployment. AS 1t became apparent
that only portion of them could find
work, they began to fight among
themselves for iplaees, and riot en-
sued that two score policeman could
scarcely squell. AS they fought and
begged for work and told their stories
of restitution it was 3 scene to touch
the hardest heart.
And this under republican admin
istration. Free Press. So

There is no little dissatisfaction
among the republicans in Berkeley
county over their county ticket and
the manner in which il was nomin-
aIed. The people are getting very tired
q being ridden over at each OF their
county conventions and they are in q
humor to resist. The wonder to us Is
that they have not rebelled long ago
What man of any self respect will not
resent the orders of the boss when he
burls an oath at them when they
make com plant and tells them to do
as they please, then he can elect yell
lew dog after he puts him on his tick

yellow dog ticket.

things never heard of before IN this

and that is that no individual, church,

or any other thing Of value from a
candidate. This no doubt will be =
