Congressman Bonynge is credited
with introducing a bill extending

oned. Often times it is well nigh
impossible for . poor man who has
to work in the mines or at other

wants to make home for his fami-

Old SERVICE At BUNKER HILL
Maine Man Owns Musket That Was
Used in Historic Conflict. j..

Alonzo Smith of Skowhegan. Me.
mas an old gun, which was used in the
battle of Bunker Hill, 131 years ago
Many who fought on the American
side on the 18th of June afterward
went to Maine to settle, among them
Billy Smith, a private in the Second
New Hampshire regiment. Mr.. Smith,
the great-grandfather Of Alonzo Smith
OF Skowhegan, settled in Cornville IL
119O, and his grave is in the orchard
on farm near where his grandson,
Clark e. Smith, now lives. The mus
ket which Billy Smith carried at Bun.
ker Hill was among his effects brought
to Cornville, and on his death passed
into the hands of his son, David, and
was by him bequeathed to his grand.
son, Sylvester Smith. A few years
ago, when Sylvester left for the west,
he gave the. famous old musket to
Sylvester Smith Of Skodhegan, who
now treasures it as a family heirloom.
One remark made by Billy Smith in
relating his experiences at Bunker
Hill has been handed down to his de-
scendants, to the effect that he felt
some repugnance at first in shooting
at the ,redcoats as they came up the
slope, but after the first few shots he
could as easily take aim at a British
officer as he could at partridge. The
gun Itself Is in working order, barring
the loss Of the flint, and could be
easily re-equipped for actual use.

A REPUBLICAN, ESTIMATE
OF CONGRESSMAN SHERMAN

The New York Sun, one of the lead
ing republican journals Of the country,
sizes up Taft's running mate as follows:
Jim" Sherman, the nominee for
the vice-presidency, has been identified
long and profitably with those elements
of indecency and corruption which
have brought the republican party in
this state to its present deporable pass.
1t can be said, at best, that the conven-
tion made stupid choice. 1t might
have taken Odell!
Ali the same Sherman will get good
large vote in his state. He has the, for
him, inestimable advantage of being
little known. =.
J., His nomination is chiefly important
in pointing out to Mr.. Taft the supreme
Importance of taking care of his health
1t occurs to us as possible that Mr.
Sherman may owe his preferment, in
some appreciable degree, to the compli-
ments in respect to him of which it
has been this papers pleasure and duty
to bestOw.

SOMETHING NEW In POLITICS

Those who closely followed the story
of the Chicago convention as it was
given to the public in the newspapers
had opportunity to observe a peculiar
feature Of the cut and dried arrange
ments for promoting an expression of
the voice of the people.
Accompanying the ready-made tenn
porary chairman to the scene of confer
ence and action was an expert parlia-
mentarian, whose skill was vouched for
by the, explanation that he was the
genius who successfully steered Speaker
Reed out of the many entanglements of
his public career and was now peforn
ing the same Office for Speaker Cannon.
1t was stated that the parliamentari;in
was Il precaution, not Il necessity He
was there to act in case the convention
exhibited a disposition to depart from
the line of conduct prescribed by the adj
ministration--in case there should be
manifested symptoms of an intention to
stampede from the administration
choice of the presidency
One cannot but admire, if he does not
commend, the Rooseveltiln generalship
that had foreseen every possible contin-
gency during the months of preparation
for the elevation of Taft to the highest
place under the government.
Finally, with conviction moulded to
his purpose through the fragrant employ
ment of federal patronage and power,
the man at the white house made ready
to push his scheme to finish by en-
ploying the methods of Reed and Can
non, should any of those who had been
brought into the convention bound hand
and foot, succeed in shaking off their
letters and attempt to exercise rights
as representatives of Il free constituency.
This was one of the rcfnements of
boSSlSm that has recently taken it's
place in politics. Idaho Scimitar.
