Mr.. TAFT IN THE SOUTH.
AS Seen and Judged By The
Brethren Of the Craft.

The Augusta Herald, in a decidedly
|effusive welcome of Judge Taft to the
Empire State, says:
''We did not vote for you, Mr.. Pres
|ident-elect, to any extent; in fact, we
succeeded in rolling up quite consid-
|erable majority against you, but there
was good reason tor that, Since you
have come among us and have become
homefolks with US, we don't mind
telling you this, since friends and
neigh bors should have no secrets OF
this nature to keep from each other.
We really didn't know then about you
what we firmly believe now. 1t is a
falling which is common 10 the human
race, that at times their hindsight is
better than their foresight; and this
was one of the times with US. Had we
known as much about you as we know
now, there might have been different
tale to tell. 1t the thing were to be
done over again we verify believe the
result would be different"
To this The Lynchburg News OBJECTS
seriously, saying:
"Oh, come now, isn't that stating the
ease a bit too strongly? Unquestion-
ably it is, if the declaration under
takes to breathe Southern sentiment.
''The South knows Mr.. Taft now
quite as we'll as it did before the elec-
tion, and no better. It respected him
for his attributes Of character and in
|dividual worth, as much then as il
does now. But it voted against him
because in his representative capacity
las candidate of the Republican party
and as champion and exponent OF Re-
publican principles, he stood for
doctrines and policies to which the
Southern people could not render SUI
mission"
Whereupon the Charlotte Observer
remarks:
"These quotations are interesting be-
|cause they are from two fairly repre-
sentative Southern newspapers. The
Augusta paper is entirely wrong in its
opinion that people in the South who
voted against Mr.. Taft 'bave different
lopin1on of him now than they had then
and repent the act, but the controversy
suggests the question:: How true was
Judge Taft's remark in his campaign
speeches in the South that people
would in the coming election vote one
way and pray another? This is merely
la question and we pass it along"

A SAD DEATH.
Lucy Shannon Baxter Passes Away
In Wilmington.


Lucy Shannon is dead" This is
the startling and unexpectedly sad an
nouncement that was carried from
home to home through our city Monday
morning, and every one who heard and
realized it's all too sad truth stood ap-
palled and sorrowful, for every one in
Goldsboro loved Lucy Shannon, ,as they
do also her devoted young husband,
"Billy' Baxter, who in this hour of
his sudden and heart-cr ushing bereave-
ment has the tenderest sympathy otall
our people.
Mrs. Baxter was of singular grace of
character and great goodnes of heart.
No one could have been more consid-
crate of the feelings of others than she.
The low1iest as we'll as the highest with
whom she came in contact felt at once
that she was full of human sympathy
and that she was the unfeigned friend
of all alike. Her untimely end through
the travail of young motherhood, lis one
of those tragedies that break the heart
kindred with grief as OF blackest night.
But her faith looked ever up to Him to
see whose face is the joy of the elect.

occurred Sunday night, i'll Wilmington,
where she and Mr.. Baxter had gone
from this city to reside about year

BEAUTIFUL ENTERTAINMENT.

One of the most beautiful and
unique entertainments of the season
was at the home of Miss Lena Mae
Gleaves, 1915 Jackson street, on
Thursday evening, June II. The ar
rangements were a picture of beauty
from the parlor to the dining-room.
The table was very prettily decorated
in color-scheme of pink and white,
with beautiful fern in the center.
At each plate was placed a card with
the gentleman's name, and a heart
shaped souvenir box filled with dainty
candies. After playing several games
Of whist, ETC., at the hour of 1920 the
guests were invited into the dining
room, where several courses were
served, which included all the deli
cacies of the season

brated throughout the confines of the
international Committees study of the

known as Childrens Day Every Pro-
testant Church in Nashville, regardless
of denomination, observed in some
form this day of all days. Some had
special programs, which were rendered
at some time during the day or even
ing; others, special services, but in
each of them Children's Day was the
aim, the object, the occasion.
The lesson selected as the one most
fitting for Children's Day observance
was Jesus Enter Jerusalem in Tri-
umph," Matthew 21:7-16. While the
optional lesson was "The Risen Christ
by the Sea of Galilee,7 John21:1-25.
The Sunday-schoOlS were allowed to
use which ever lesson they could more
forcibly impress the occasion upon the
minds of the schools. In the Afri-
can Methodist churches, there were
Payne Chapel, st. Uaul st. John,
Bethel Salem, st. James, Ebenezer,
Trinity, st. Luke, and John Brown

ate program and the largest crowd at
any of the Baptist churches assembled
The. principal speaker for the day was
Prof J. D. Crenshaw, who spoke from
the inspiration he received from the
double quartette singing Princes,

Nomination of Roosevelt.

You hear the question asked every day. will not
Roosevelt be nominated again? 1t appears con-
Santly in the eastern papers that he will be- There
is a widespread belief that it is possible and there
be no doubt that he is the most decided choice
of the republicans
Taft would not have been considered had it not
been for the Roosevelt endorsement of his candidacy
Taft not strong either with the leaders or followers
among republicans. He does not possess the con-
fdence of the reformers of the corporations He
has made enemies of originated labor and of the
negro. While he would not be so Objectionable to
the corporations Roosevelt at the same time he
would not be so acceptable to those who desire to
regulate the corporations. The power of Roosevelt
over his party is where shown plainly as in the
support which Taft's candidacy is receiving.
No one doubts that Roosevelt could have been
nominated again, had he expressed the wish. 1t is
often said that when the convention is in session and
baoting is going some delegation will shout
Roosevelt and there will be a stampede.

Thompson of NeZ Perez.

iii Nez Perez county the republicans are having
turbulent experiences.
There is coterle of young republicans there who
are in open REBELLION against the Thompson machine.
Thompson has been part of the state republican
machine since Gooding built it, mostly of Mormon
material. He has been the "War horse from the
North" and often he has been considered as possible
gubernatorial timber.
But Thompson has not been as fortunate as his
fellow member of the machine, the "War horse from
the southeast" Mr. Brady He did not have at hand
a constituency governed from neighboring state
the governing spirits of which made it easy for him
to advance because he was willing to lend himself
to the defense of this constituency to the end that
adverse legislation might check the onward march
of their practice of crime This proved a handicap
to Thompson. He willing, ready and anxious
To be chosen to play such part would have been an
idealistic engagement for Thompson He would rel
ish the job and boast of it the personihcaton of
able adroit republican politics. Machine politics. to
be sure, but the order of winning would make no
sort of difference to Thompson,
1t is to be hoped that with the struggle now going
in Nez Perez county, the rank and file of the re-
publcans will start a sentiment which will destroy
this machine in Idaho, which has given the state
an administration faulty that few if any members
of the party who advised will presume to come
to its defense

Bingham County Politics.

Shelley, Idaho, May 2, 19OS.-Does the Mormon
church control politics in this state? is the question
asked by many. Note the following returns from
the republican convention held at Idaho Falls April
gath, to elect delegates to the state convention
The total number of delegates elected to the state
convention was 80; Is of whom are Mormons and
Gentiles. Among the Mormons are: James E.
Steele, president of the stake, and four bishops.
The Boise convention to nominate state officers
contains 16 Mormons, Gentiles and McCutcheon
doubtful There four bishops and two stake
councillors in this delegation. " P Pugmire an en-
ployee of ]. H. Brady, the Mormon choice for gov
ernor will go to both conventions he being an able
man, having spent three years a foreign mission,
and will see that the wishes of the Prophet Joseph
are kept. This James E. Steele is really part of
the present state administration He has been ap-
pointed to three positions by the government.
This all comes from county where the population

licans will not stand for this church machine and
will tend to the matter next November
Now, dear reader, watch this Mormon delegation
from Bingham county and how easy President
Steele, Councillor Shelly ex-Bishop P G.. Johnson
and Elder Pugmire manage them; then you will see
that GentileS have voice in politics in Idaho

not extravagant in his living, but the other hand
is of simple tastes.
He was the idol of Texas, and the pride and hope
of those who striving for a betterment of civic
conditions. 1t is nevpressiby became neces
sary for such gifted man to defend himself against
such charges No excuse can be offered, no vote
given which will restore Senator Bailey his power
for good His utterances will not carry the weight
nor persuade as they once persuaded. People have
right to expect that those in the highest positions
shall be above suspicion of venal acts.
The democrats of Texas have given him the benefit
of the doubt. They were so proud of him, they
loved him SO, they did have it in their hearts
condemn him, and blight all hopes for his future.
1t is to be hoped that Senator Bailey will employ
his wonderful gifts for the noblest and best purposes
and will be industrious in the peoples interest that
by the end Of his five years in the senate he will
be recognized and accepted sincere representa-
tive of high ideals

There can be no question that this thought is in
the minds of republicans everywhere. 1t would be
most perhdious on the part of Roosevelt if there
should be such a denouement 1t cannot happen
if he tells the leaders of the Taft forces that must
not happen.
If he means positively that he will not accept the
nomination. he cannot possibly be nominated The
Fairbanks, Knox, Cannon and other forces opposed
to Taft are more opposed Roosevelt and cannot be
stampeded to him. If Taft has enough delegates to
secure for him the nomination and they stampede to
Roosevelt it would be such base betrayal of Taft
by the President that would destroy the faith of
the people in him. Concedng that Roosevelt could
have gotten the nomination and election for the
asking he could not be elected after securing the
nomination by taking it away from Taft. There
is way only for Roosevelt to be nominated with
out losing the confidence of the people the extent
be it greater or less, to which he now has it.
Taft could make speech to the convention, bear
ing all traces of sincerity stating that he had become
satisfied, on account of conditions in Ohio and New
York, and because of other antagonisms that his
nomination might endanger the success of the party
and that principle the reforms inaugurated by Roose
velt loyalty to republcanism and so on with proper
enthusiasm arousing sentiments, demanded that at
this critical time his great chief be again forced to
accept the burden. This could be done by Taft in
such way to nominate Roosevelt, provided
majority of the delegates were for Taft In no other
manner Roosevelt be nominated with any ex-
pectation of being elected.

Baseball Baby.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Just as Brown
swatted the ball bringing Tinker
in in the last half of the sixth in
ming of yesterdays game, killing
the immediate possibility of a tie
game between Chicago and Pitts
burg, and as the host in the
grandstand rose to cheer, a baby
was born far up on the stand, in
the midst of the dense crowd.
There is considerable mystery
attached to the birth of the
baseball baby" The mother
fell forward in her seat and the
crowd, thinking she had tainted,
fell back to give her air.
To a woman who raised her
head, she told the happening,
and Immediately mother and
child were carried to the club
house, where medical attention
was summoned. The woman
refused to give her name, and
the West Side hospitals deny that
any such case had been brought
to their attention.
