 River and Does Not Come Up.

South Hadley Falls, July 25.- With full confidence in the sustain ing power of pair of Swimming wings" which he was wearing, Fred LeClair, aged IA years, son of Simeon LeClair of this village, dived into the waters of the Connecticut river here at about z o'clock last night and was drowned. Young Le- Clair, who was an excellent swimmer, donned the wing device expecting to be able to swim for a greater dis tance with its aid than he could un- assisted. As he sprang into the water his companions watched to see him rise to the surface and strike out with his usual vigorous stroke. but from the instant when his body parted the water in the dive it was not seen again. Although search was made for the body and many Joined in the attempt for its recoy- cry, 1t had not been found up to a late hour last night.

! THE POLICE BUTTONS. The Upholders of the Law Do Not
 Take Kindly to the Innoyation

The rumor that Superintendent of Police Beach is going to recommend to the board of safety that the police men change the buttons on their uni forms has not met with much appre- ciation. The letter P is on the pres ent button, signifylng police" where as 1t Is said to be the superintendent's s idea that the words Waterbury Po- lice" be on the suggested buttons.
 If the suggestion Is carried out it means an expenditure and in view of many policemen an unnecessary and useless expenditure at that, of about s2.5O. The several uniforms of a Waterbury cop carry about three doz- en buttons. The winter overcoat alone requires about twenty. There is the summer blouse. a winter blouse and the dress parade blouse, all requiring go many dollars. If the policemen are allowed voice in the matter, it is safe guessing that it will go no fur ther,

TWICE MARRIED AT IS.
Harry Bowman and Second Wife, Ir- reconcilable, Agree to Live Apart.

Harry Bowman and Second Wife, Ir.
 reconcilabIe, Agree to Live Apart.
 New York, July 25.-Harry Bow man, IS years old, when arraigned in the first criminal court, Newark, yesterday, charged with deserting his wife and 2 months old child, ad- mitted that the complainant is his second wife, that he was married first at the age of 15 and that he had been a widower for more than a year before he ventured upon his present troubled course.
 Bowman's father, who was in court, enlightened Judge Howell as to his sons romnnces when the judge expressed incredulity.
 When my son was Is years old he ran away with a girl of the same age and they were married before we could get to them," explained the senior Bowman. "The girl died sev- eral months afterward. Then my son met and married this girl"
 The efforts of Judge Howell and the elder Bowman to reconcile the young couple did not meet with sue cess. Mrs Bowman declared her hus- band abused her and drove her from home with her baby. Bowman said that he was the injured one. He in- stanced case where his wife struck him on the head with a bottle and rendered him unconscious. Mrs Bowman acknowledged this tribute to her muscular prowess. but said she yielded the bottle on that occasion to protect herself from her hus- bands attack.
 It was finally agreed that the cou- pie should live apart and that Bow man should contribute to the SUD- port of his wife and child.

question for ourselves, and we having decided against union with New MeXi GO. he is now as earnestly for the ad- mission of the territories separately. Secretary Taft is for us.
 "It must be conceded by the most conservative observer that Taft's nom ination is a thousand fold more prob able that Foraker's; that the nomina- ton of Cannon. Fairbanks, Knox, or Hughes, or even of one not now thought of, Is infinitely more probable than that of Foraker Ohio will have 46 delegates at Chicago. Four dele- gates will be elected at large, to rep resent the entire state, and 42 dele gates win be elected from the 21 con gressional districts. Foraker and Dick hope that they can carry at least one congressional district and elect two delegates, and thereby claim that Ohio is divided, and it would never do to intimate Taft Should they carry one, or even two or three districts, it would not in any wise fool the country, nor would it weaken Taft before the country. We are not to suppose by any process of sane req soning that the defeat of Taft by di- viding the Ohio delegation could lead to the nomination of Foraker. But Ohio will certainly be for Taft
 ITO send, delegates fer Foraker could have but one practical result to aid Foraker in his efforts to beat Taft. and aid him to nominate Fair banks, Cannon. or Knox. each of whom was zealously for joint state hood; or, possibly to help nominate Hughes. from whom Arizona has no reason to expect anything to her ad- vantage.
 'It is all right to be grateful for past favors. But we should be grate- ful to Taft, also. And to send dele gates for Foraker, who has no earthly show for the nomination-delega whose votes and influence would be against Taft.

problems sstili in process of settle ment in our islands and because of new questions for our government in Cuba and in the Panama canal zone, Judge Taft brought to his new duties superb Fitness which the event has admirably demonstrated. He has again made good in way that has led many of the worlds best judges to pronounce him one of the greatest constructive statesmen of our time.
 One of the things for which Judge Taft is most notable is the exception al sanity which distinguishes all of his work and all of his words. He is one of the best balanced men in public life His personality appeals to the American people. He is plain ly honest, frank, sincere and courage ous. We know where he stands on all the questions of the day. Indeed, he is the only candidate who has had the bravery to state his position the other candidates are staying fiji the high grass. To be sure other candidates indulge in platitudes and take strong ground on undisputed propositions. but no candidate but Taft has ventured out of the beaten
  ample, has dared to stand up, as Taft did in his great Boston speech tie other day, and rebuke predatory wealth on the one hand, and on the other hand rebuke the 1emagogues who would gain position by Gssailing all forms of wealth? Le De quote but four short pafag 'aphs from the spe ech:
 "T believe myself to be as conser- yative as any one within this com pany. I believe that in connection with personal liberty. the right of personal property is the basis of all our material progress in the develop ment of mankind and that any change in our political system which impairs the right of private property and ma terially diminishes the motive for the accumulation of capital by the indi vidual is a blow at our whole civili- zation.
 But no one can have been an ob- server of the operation of the exercise of the right of property and the ac- emulation of capital and it's use III business by the individual without seeing that there are certain limita tions upon the methods in the use of capital, and the exercise of the right of property, that are indisp snsable to prevent the absolute control of the whole financial system of the country passing to a small oligarehy of indi-' viduals.
 ." If the abuses of monopoly and discrimination can not be restrained; if the concentration of power made possible by such abuses continues and increases, and it is made manifest that under the system of individual ism and private property the tyranny
Bisbee daily review., 1908-01-26

directed by Foraker in favor of one of the candidates who has always been hostile to us-would be the height of bad judgment, and really lacking in sanity.
 "on the other hand, the Republi- cans of Arizona are in sympathy with the president in his great policies. They know that MT. Roosevelt. who is always honest. is sincerely in favor of the admission of Arizona and New Mexico to separate states. just as soon as congress can be Drought to his way of thinking. They know, also, as does the president. that congress seems de- termined not to look with approval upon our aspirations until after the next census They know, therefore, that Arizona probably cannot become a state until some time in the next administration. They know that Taft would be a great president, friendly to the Roosevelt policies and strong in his own policies an din his own in- diyiduality and independence They know that President Taft would aid Arizona to be admitted as separate state and that before the end of his first term we should have statehood.
 By sending an instructed delega- toni for Taft, Arizona will do at least a little to aid the candidacy of a man who has been always consistently friendly to this territory--as thorough ly friendly as has any candidate that can be mentioned-and will at the same time aid the candidacy of . statesman whose principles are the principles of the Republicans of Ari- Zona-
 Although all other candidates arc working together against Taft. he is already so far in the lea1 that his nomination now seems as certain as events of the future can be. l bc- lieve as does President Roosevelt, that Judge Taft will not only be nom mated, but will be nominated on the first ballot; and that his nomination will be made unanimous before the call of the roll is finished"

(From the Arizona Republican.)
 Governor Kibbey at his office yes terday stated his views of national politics.
 ''I am for William H. Taft for pres ident," said the governor, "and judg. ing from the expressions voluntarily made. to me from all sections of the territory, the Republicans of Arizona are practically unanimous for Taft in this attitude the Republicans of Arizona are in harmony with the Re publicans of the country generally.
 There are, of course, strong req sons why our great secreary of war has become the popular choice since Mir. Roosevelt took himself out of con sideration for the nomination. Judge Taft has had a large share in making American history during the past ten years. Longer ago than that, as United States judge in Ohio, be had impressed observing lawyers with his profound knowledge ot the law with the patriotic convictions which con trolled his actions and with the up rightness and courage with which he discharged all the duties which fell to iiim. And when President Mckinley sent him 10 the Philippines as his personal representative on the Phil ippine commission Judge Taft began to attract the attention of his country men everywhere and soon after in deed the notice of statesmen through out the world.
 From the very beginning of his task in the Philippines ais strong in diyiduality and strength of character were manifest. His uniform good na- ture and tact and his candid honesty soon won the confidence of the Fili- pinos and he had in many ways shown such a fitness for the work
Bisbee daily review., 1908-01-26

that his appointment as governor of the Philippines followed as a matter of course. In that position his extra ordinary executive talents his sturdy self-reliance his ready grasp and so- lution of new and untried problems and again his plainspoken honesty accomplished more for the American government in two years than has been achieved for Spain in four hun dred years. Despite the prophecies of army officers and newspaper cor respondents that the pacification of the islands would be an impossibility, and that endless warfare there would be our lot, Governor Taft did succeed in pacifying all the tribes that had made any approaches to civilization; he astonished the world by the read mess with which ne settled the trou- blous question of the friars' lands and church property in the archipelago. in a way that was pleasing to the Filipinos, pleasing to the church authorities at Rome, and pleasing to the American people. It had been freely predicted that this question would not admit of satisfactory set tlsment, but Taft settled it. and, of course, settled it right. Only a few weeks ago he personally opened the first Filipino congress, and the 'Is- lands are now on the high road to selfgovernment
 Tt was when Taft was making good in such remarkable way in our fareastern possessions, that Pres ident Mckinley predicted that the people oF the United States would some day make William Taft their president.

Little Agnes Bahor Succumbs To Injuries Received On
 Friday Afternoon,
Lowell. January 25. 1sOS.


 Agnes, the three-year-old daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Joseph Bahor, who was so terribly burned yesterday after noon while playing with matches, died from her burns this morning at about half past nine o'clock. Notwithstand- ing her horrible burns, the little one seemed to suffer very little, although her life was despaired of from the be- ginning. The saddest of events sur rounding the passing away of this lit tie child, is the fact that her mother was absent at the time, being in Helena, Calif., where she recently went with her sick child of fifteen months of age. Yesterday the father received telegram from Helena sat ing that the child was some better. There are eight brothers and sisters besides the parents who mourn the less of little Agnes.
