TAFT WILL ARRAIGN
 DEMO. PLATFORM

Hot Springs, Va, July 14.-From present indications Taft's letter of ac- ceptance will be a judicial scoring Iof the Democratic platform adopted at Denver.
 All day yesterday and late into the evening Taft's time was devoted to a study of the platform of the two parties. When he concluded his labors he will not only be an authority on the work of the recent conventions. but on the party platforms of the past.
 Taft became so thoroughly interest ed in the study of the records that he did not find time to dictate line of his speech of acceptance

opinion on this subject, notwithstand-
 ing the position of Police Commission CT Bingham of New York, who is re-
 ported as sayng police news should be kept from the newspapers until the
 criminal has been arrested
 If by police news" the commission CT means news of what the police are doing to catch tile criminal we agree
 with him. But this is quite different
 mattsr from news of q crime. If q
 man $ house has been robbed, to pub
 fish the fact with d description of the stolen articles would certainly make it
 far more difficult 10 SHspose of them without detection than if the matter had been kept a secret. When the per Petrator of crime is known, it is usually possible to secure a photo graph, which if published in the news papers puts the brand of Cain" on him and makes it difficult to escape. The police, of course. would not get so much credit for catching the criminal. put that is not a matter in which the public is greatly interested
 ihls suggests that newspapers in many cities might adopt a different course toward the police to the advan- tage of the public The attitude of the press is usually one of friendli- ness and extreme leniency. It should be friendly. but if the police had greater reason to fear exposure in the public prints there would be less of the lnsolent swagger We too often see in officers of the law who are sup posed to be servants of the public Press.

TRUE DEMOCRACY.

 Both candidates for the presidency. and both candidates for the vice-pres- idency have risen practically from ob- grew up with the plain common people, They had no advantage of birth. of for tune. ot social position and their edu- cation, for the most part.

Result in Wyoming.

Denver-A Republican special from
Cheyenne Wednesday night says: Taft
and Mondell carried Wyoming, but by
reduced majorities. The Democratic
vote was the heaviest polled in the
state in many years, and came as
surprise to Democrats as well as Re-
publicans. Full returns will not be in
for at least two days, but basing an
estimate upon what has already been
learned, Taft carried Wyoming by
from 5000 to $500, and Mondell, Re-
publican candidate for Congress, was
reelected over White, Democratic, by
plurality of not less than 1000. The
Democrats were successful in electing
a number of state senators and repre-
sentatives, and the party will probably
have not less than 20 on joint ballot,
which is Is more than they have had
for many years.

Close Call in Indiana.

Indianapolis, Nov. 5.-Fred A. Sims,
acting Republican chairman of the
state committee, late tonight claims
the election of the Republican state
ticket, with the exception of governor
and attorney general, by small plural
tiles. His estimate is based on ninety
of the ninety-two counties, both Off
cial and unofficial returns.
The Democratic committee still
claims that their entire state ticket is
elected. The official vote will be prob
ably required to determine the sue
cessful candidates. The secretary of
state is compiling the official figures,
but has completed only one-fifth of
the counties. That William II. Taft
has carried the state on the national
ticket and Thomas r. Marshall Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, has
been elected, is conceded on both
sides.

Whitney of the Metropolitan Steam

the East river while on her way to
Boston. The vessel, valued at 100000
is a total loss and it is not believed
that any of her cargo, valued at $780,
900, can be recovered. The steamer
in trying to avoid collision with a tow
collided with Steep rock. A great hole
was made below the water line. The

PUZZLE SOLVED.
Coffee at Bottom of Trouble.

1t takes some people long time to
find out that coffee is hurting them.
But when once the fact is clear,
most people try to keep away from
the thing which is followed by ever
increasing detriment to the heart,
stomach and nerves.
Until two years ago 1 was a heavy
coffee drinker," writes an III. stock
man, "and had been all my life. 1 am
now Sc years old.
About three years ago I began to
have nervous spells and could not
sleep nights, was bothered by indi-
gestion, bloating, and gas on stomach
affected my heart.
Il spent lots of money doctoring-
one doctor told me 1 had chronic ca
tarrh of the stomach; another that 1
had heart disease and was liable to
die at any time. They all dieted me
until I was nearly starved but 1
seemed to get worse instead of better.
Having heard of the good Postum
had done for nervous people, l dis
carded coffee altogether and began to
use Postum regularly. 1 soon got bet
ter, and now, after nearly two years,
can truthfully say 1 am sound and
well.
Il sleep well at night, do not have
the nervous spells and am not both
cred with Indigestion or palpitation. 1
weigh 80 pounds more than when I
began Postum, and am better every
way than ever was while drinking cof-
fee. l can't say too much in praise of
Postum, as am sure it saved my life."

Strike Cancellation Fails.

Denve--The News Wednesday
morning says: Flat failure marked the
efforts yesterday of the Denver cham
ber of Commerce of Commerce to set
tie the strike of the Denver & Rio
Grande shopmen, because of the re-
| fusal of the railroad officials to accept
any grounds for arbitration.
President K. l.. Scholtz of the Cham
Der of Commerce, who took personal
charge Of the question. obtained from
the several unions yesterday morning
I a bill of grievances, which ne present
ed yesterday afternoon to Vice Presi-
dent Charles II. Schlacks and General
Manager y. c. Ridgway.
President Scholtz explained to the
railroad officials that he offered his
services in the interests of the business
and travelling public of the state, and
that he hoped to act as friendly me-
diator between the company and the
men for the purpose of bringing to a
speedy end strike which threatens to
spread and cause decentralization to
the business interests of Colorado.
Vice President Schlacks declared in
positive terms that he had no state
ment to make further than that which
was published a week ago. and that in
sofar as he was concerned the strike
was at an end. He said the company
now had sufficient men to do the work
of the strikers and that business was
gradually becoming normal.
In Difference to the older employees,
Schlacks said, he would show them
preference in giving employment, but
that none of the old men would be
taken back until vacancies existed.
The petition presented to President
Schotz by the strikers yesterday set
forth that they wanted their unions
recognized, but that they did not seek
closed shop. They wanted time and
one-half for overtime and the appoint
ment of foremen from among their
ranks.
The company refused to consider any
of these propositions. all Of which are

abrogated by the railroad.
