CAREFUL ABOUT PROMISES.
Taft Weighs His Words While Bryan
Is Carelesa.

One of the most important things 10
be emphasized at this stage of the
campaign has been admirably phrased
in Mr.. Roosevelt's letter to ConraS
Kohrs. Mr.. Taft is careful to promise
only what he is confident upon reason
able grounds that he can accomplish
Perhaps this is the chief reason why
Mr.. Taft is dubbed a poor politician
and II a poor politician from every
standpoint save that of courageous.
sslf-forgetting public service
But 1t is well for Mr.. Roosevelt TO
emphasize this truth. since some men
are likely thoughtlessly to interpret
Mr.. Taft's scrupulous care in state
ment and his honorable care for the
relation Of promise and possible per
Torrance as want Of zeal for reform
1t is especially necessary in this cam
paign against a man whose emotions.
however creditable they may be in
themselves, and whose innate tendency
to rhetorical emphasis are constantly
driving him into broad and easy and
over-liberal promises.

that we have a vastly overmaster- ing force in the Pacific, is to main tain that status. It can be done easily and naturally, without ex- citing suspicion or resentment
 Governor Gillett's speech of well come to the sailors at San Diego, sounded the same note. He said in part; Upon this broad and calm ocean in the future will be waged the greatest war of com merce between the great powers of the world. Here is where nations will strive for supremacy, and here is where will be fought the greatest naval battles of the world. The Pacific Ocean can not always re- main a peaceful ocean. In the contests to come our country will play the most important part be- cause its interests will be greatest; and when that time shall come we must be ready for it. If we main- tain the mastery of this great ocean we must have the means to do it with. Here in the future, no doubt, will clash the great nayies of the world, and upon these waters will the great naval conflicts be waged."

In another column will be found a letter from the L. E. Bureau of Fisheries, which is published for the edifcation of the parties who are in the buciness of salting sal mon bellies. At the frsi blush it would seem that this ruling would antagoni1e the business, but such is not the purpose of the Bureau. The ruling was made fo- the pur- pose of putting a stop to an enor' nous breach in the rules of econo- my, which can but result in better conditions for those engaged in the salmon belly business. This late ruling does not require any person to quit business; but it does re- quire the salmon belly salters to put the remaining portion of the fish to some use after the belly has been cut out. Hundreds of tons of fish flesh is annually thrown away when if it were salted, canned or made into fertilizer, it would bring 9 good price,

IS ENTITLED TO IT

The labor interests of the United States are justly entitled to dis tinct governmental department of it's own, says the Historian. They are great enough to justify the ere ation of q cabinet position, and important enough to warrant the especial administrative treatment, already enjoyed by other pronoun- ced and leading interests. The de- partment of labor should be di- vorced from that of commerce, and be placed upon its own footing, charged with it's own responsibili- ties, under the direct charge of the best and brightest men in the work ing ranks of the nation. We be- lieve in the defnitiye processes in governmental affairs, and we know of nothing to which at present, they could be devoted with more profit to all concerned than the mobilization of the immense field and personnel of American labor.
 The ramifcati6ns of the business are so wide and divergent SO es- sentially in need of authoritative direction and recognition, that it will be a long and advantageous step in public economy if they are aligned, and vested with the right and power inherent in specific au- tonomy; and besides the added dignity and force that will attach to the system, will divest it of the smaller, commoner and cheaper phases of expression wherewith the nation has long since become thor oughly disgusted, and which have done more to lower the tone of la- Dor and defeat its best ambitions than anything else.
 The fact that the workingman of the United States hss his own cab inet member and the broader in- terest in, and reliance upon, the Government itself, will make him infinitely more careful Of his pro- oesses and expedients in the pur- suit of his ends; and will give him unquestioned and accepted status in the huge affairs of government heretofore denied him by the domi, nant interests which have all man. ner of departmental agencies at their command in the attainment of their desires.

THE FISHING FUTURE

The activity and interest which is being manifested in Wrangell by fishermen and fish dealers this Year is indicative of a tremendous future increase in the output of fish from Stikine River waters. It has long been known that salmon In great numbers annually ascend to the spawning grounds of the Stikine, and for a number of years few fishermen have piled their trade around the delta during the Spring months. However, the numbers of salmon heretofore taken Will pale into insignifcance when Compared with future years.
 It is safe to say that the river will be forced to this year give up three Of four times the number of fish that has been taken in any one rear since fishing in these waters. Ii tie hopes of local fishermen for 2 successful season are realized- and there is no reason for dismal foreooding-the news, on going out, Sill draw more dealers, likewise more fishermen, to this town, and in a few seasons the number of gillnetters to be seen drifting at the mouths of the river will remind She of the Columbia or Fraser Rivers in the height of the salmon fishing season.
 And not only will the gellnetters become more numerous, but this river will be lined for miles with traps, setnets and fishwheels, all of Which will pour their scsly spoil into the markets of the world thro' dealers stationed at Wrangell. A majority of these fishermen will make Wrangell their home, and during that portion of the year when salmon arc not to be taken, their attention will be turned to the halibut banks. The varieties oi fslf and seasons insure the fish Afmaa almost all-year work.
 Wrangell can ill-afford to treat this great industry with indiffer- ence. On the contrary, every effort Should be bent to induce as great humber of fishermen and dealers to this section, this town, as can ply theiT vacations with profit, We have a veritable mint if rs will but reach out and seize it.

Lincoln. Neb.. July 24.-While stop
ping in Lincoln for half an hour on
his way east Chairman Frank H.
Hitchcock stated that he had planned
a speaking trip through Nebraska for
James S. Sherman in October. He also
expects to send Senators Beveridge and

bitter fight for the state.
William H. Taft will not come to
Nebraska under the present plans ac-
cording to Mr.. Hitchcock. His cam
paign will be conducted from his porch
at Cincinnati similar to the first cam
paign of William Mckinley. Mr..
Hitchcock stated that he had never

political workers than among the state
chairmen and national committeeman
who met with him in Colorado Springs.
All seemed ready and anxious to take

Chicago, July PAL Coggins. of Ore
gon. said to be prominent politically,
and others are accused of having sold
900 acres of land alleged to have
been wrongfully taken from the gov
ernment. The charge is made in a suit
begun in the circuit court by Gabe
Ringenoldus to collect $4,000 damages.
Clifford Coggins, Mary z. Coggins and
the firm of Coggins Brothers & Co.,

This suit is an echo of the famous
western land fraud deals. Ringenoldus
who is a land dealer, sometime ago
entered into negotiations to purchase
DC. 900 acres of land from the defendants
for $500 O000 Soon after Ringenoldus

ROBBER KNOCKED OUT.
Fireman on Engine Hit Him With a
Coal Shovel.

Appleton, Wis, July PA robber
tried to hold up the Ashland-St. Paul
northbound train on the Chicago G.
Northwestern railway near Appleton
Junction mile and a half north of it.
The train had just passed the junction.
when a masked man climbed over the
tender of the engine from the plat
form of the blind baggage where he
had been hiding.
Revolver in hand he commanded
Louis Wandell, driver of the locomotive.
to stop the train, Encouple his engine
and run up the track a short distance.
Wandell covered as he was. by the
mans revolver, was about to comply
when Gustav Pahl his fireman, hit the
highwayman a heavy blow with his coal
scoop, knocking the revolver from his
hand. Pahl was swinging the scoop
for another blow when the man jump
ed from the doorway of the cab while
the train was running 20 miles an
hour.
1t is the theory of trainmen here
that there was a large shipment of
gold on the train from Chicago to ST.
Paul and that it was the treasure the
man was after. A posse is searching
for the highwayman.

HE WAS NOT A PICKET.
Unions Not Concerned in Trouble
Between Factory Employees.

The Unions, all kinds of unions
deny any part in the row which result
ed from a clash between Smith Auto
company employees recently. This row
resulted in a fine for one of the dis
turbers in city court. 1t was general
ly understood, and claimed by the de-
fense, that the fight was the result of
a ..scab" and union" contest. Now
comes a lot of union men who put 1t
thus: Both the boy who was assault
ed and the two brothers who took II
upon themselves to assault him, were
workmen in the Smith factory. The
boy who was assaulted had not violated
any union rules, and the Howards. who
laid for him, should be abated."
The union men employed in the
Smith auto factory especially object to
any reference to "pickets."
Had the union decided to make q
closed strike and establish pickets,"
said the two union men who request
this correction, they would not have
used the Howard brothers in that ca
pacity."
The young man who was assaulted.
John Miller, belongs to union. and
is an upholsterer by trade-not ma
chinist.

pairing his speech of acceptance. This
shady nook afforded Mr.. Taft many
restful hours when he was not busily
engaged receiving callers or at his
favorite pastime of golf. 1t is said
that Mr.. Taft carried the two plat
forms with him continually, and fire.
ouently could be seen studying them
during courses at the table. His speech
as first planned was to be compare
lively brief and not to exceed a half
hours time in it's delivery. but on the
advice of Hitchcock, Vorys and others
he decided to go into detail in answer
ing the Denver platform and defend
ing his own stand on various subjects.
1t is expected it will take from an
hour to an hour and a half to deliver
the speech of acceptance at Cincin-
natl next week.

were also of the most optimistic ma
ture.

compelled him to take a wide range
of discussion. and he has undertaken
in 10000 words to discuss each of the
important issues in the campaign in a
full and detailed manner. The pill
grimage from Hot Springs to Oyster
Bay was made by Mr.. Taft without
special incident.
The trip through New York was
made by steam automobile which con-
Veyed MI 1dIt TO sycamore Hill and
returned him to the Manhattan hotel
shortly before midnight Meanwhile
the speech had been got into printed
form by Secretary Carpenter, and the
worries of the candidate were sudden

first night of real rest he has had for
many days.
