The Awful1y Modest Woman.

Once upon aEtime there was wo-
man who blushed if she were called
upon to tell the naked truth.
She got to the point where she
couldn't even bear to think Of TAX
ing a bath with the light on-so she
filed the tub and turned out the gas.
And she got into the tub, she re-
membered that she had no pulveriz-
ed soap handy. It was in the closet
across the. room, however, right next
to the ammonia. So she felt her
way across, picked up the box, and
dumped a handful into the water.
Then she enjoyed her bath in inky
darkness.
When she appeared again, clothed
and contented, her husbands eyes
had a pair of white marbels backed
into the horizon, for whiteness.
"What-what-" he sputtered,
and then he blew tire.
The woman turned smilingly to
the glass. The powder she had used
was not pulverized soap; it was
purple dye.

Mr.. Rhett for the Senate.

We are inclined to look with
great deal of favor on the candidacy
Of Hon. r. Goodwin Rhett, Of Char
lesion, for the United States Senate
It is too. early to make promises OF
support, though, and it is the pres
ent intention OF the Daily Mail
to be absolutely neutral during the
campaign this summer.
Mr.. Rhett is a strong, clean man.
with a good record. He is bust
ness man and not professional poll
tician, although he takes an active
interest in public affairs. He was a
delegate at large to the National
Democratic Convention four years
ago, and is now serving his second
term as Mayor of the city of Char
lesion. He has done much for the
upbuilding of his city, and in the
enforcement of the laws he has been
aggressive and successful.
He would make creditable United
States Senator. He is man that
his supporters will not have to apol-
ogize for or make excuses for, and
this cannot be said for, all OF the
other candidates now in the race.
Mr.. .Rhett's chances of success will
depend largely on the principles ne
espouses and his manner of conduct
ing himself during the campaign.
The race, or even the lead in it, be-
longs to nobody now.
For some time there has been a
general feeling throughout the State
that the right man had not announc-
ed for the Senate. No very large
number of people have been satisfied
with the idea of selecting Senator
from the announced candidates, and
all that has been claimed for any
one" of the candidates is that, 'He's
as good as any in the field"
There is a splendid opening for
some good, strong man, with convic-
tions of his own and the courage to
advocate them, to run for the Senate.
The people would like to elect such
a man. 1t is for Mr.. Rhett to show
that he is the man the people have
been looking for; and, having a very
high regard for him personally, we
hope he will be able to do so.-An-
derson Daily Mail.

LIBEL VERDICT EXECUTED.
Anderson Man Gets Check for $4,000
from Insurance Company.

Anderson, June 19.-Dr. S. A.
Foster, of this city, has received a
check for $4,000 from the Southern
Mutual Life Insurance Company, of
Atlanta, to cover the judgement Civ
en- him against the company by a
Federal jury during the April term

and censuring DR.. Foster for his &C
tions. De. Foster Instituted suit for
damage in the amount of $4,000
for libel. The jury returned YER
dict for $4,000. The case attracted
a great deal of attention.

AMUSEMENT

The charm of Duncan Irving. the
chief character in Classmates"
Which will be played by Norman
Hackett and a large company at the
Elks Theatre on October the 9th
lies not so much in what the other
he really is and does. CLASSMATES"
is not a talky play, but an acting
one, and Duncan Irving does not
rely upon the good word OF his
friends for his position in the dra-
ma. but upon his own sterling quail
tiles No one can see him in one
act OF the play and not know him
TO be a man OF sweet and fine honor.
His eyes and his words carry con
viction to everyone that he is the
posscssor of clean and honest soul.
Duncan Irving as a man is innately
critical. A reticent man as to his
own thoughts and feelings, he takes
an in ward measurement OF every
one with whom he comes in contact
often the reverse of what had
been supposed. 1t hurts him to ac-
knowledge defects in others and he
has the impersonal sense of justice
hwich allows for good qualities in
those who are congenial to him.
And so, even TO his rival, Bert Stat
lord he is chivalrous to the danger
point. But once his honor is aroI.-
ed, once ne finds that il IS his faith

THE TAX IS STILL THERE

There's a tender "Reminiscences that
is surging through my soul
As | gaze upon the doughnut with
thin ring round the hole;
Tis memory abiding Of the hale
yon days of yore
When | hollered for protection"
and demanded -four years more"
and kept up a campaign singing in
4 very lusty tone
That just what the country needed
was "let well enough alone"
Now the captains have departed,
hushed the loud, tumultuous din,
\ nd the dinner pail is empty-but
the tax is on the tin.
IS, the dinner pail is empty, but
the tax is on the tin;
Ind the tax upon my clothes. and
the clothing wearing thin.
There's tax upon the cradle of the
babe of which I'm proud
There's tax upon my table. there'll
be one upon my shroud.
Y S, | cried out for protection"
till my throat was raw and
hoarsc.
Ara ! got it, o l got it-but twas
N the neck, of course.
YES, the promise was as empty as
the argument was thin,
nd the dinner pail is empty-but
the tax is on the tin.
Eour years more we gaily shout
cd wen let well enough alone!"
IN. the tariff soup was gobbled by
the trusts-we get the bone
" Workingmen must have protec-
ton" was our rous!ng battlecry,
Lll the tariff barons cheered us as
We marched so proudly by.
Now the barons have departed to
gay scenes in Paris, France,
IA the badge of our protection is
he patch upon our pants.
nd we lift the lid and ponder as
We sadly gaze within
D nat although the pail is empty,
still the tax is on the tin.
Eockefeller has his millions that he
srabbed through tariff graft;
C-rnegie has just as many, and
they're both of them for Taft.
Morgan, Havemeyer, Dupont, and
the whole protection bunch
Live in fatness while yours truly
only gets hot air for lunch.
Once a pail filed to repletion, now
doughnut with a hole.
And protection" that's as scanty
as a tariff grafter's soul
o, they fooled us good and plenty
just as soon as they got in,
For the dinner pail is empty-but
the tax is on the tin.

The INDEPENDENT hopes to be
able to add to its list of Republi-
can candidates on the ticket it
publishes and which is now be
gun, headed with VIM. H. Taft
and John S. Sherman, the name
of Hon. A. R. King, of Delta,
for a supreme judgship. The
Western Slope should have one
of the supreme judges and
among all it's able men there is
not one better qualified from all
view points than Judge King.
There is more to this we'll known
citizen than a mere political de-
scription could impart. He is a
practiced, capable lawyer, a man
of proven high integrity, fully
capable of dispensing justice
without bias. Such a man should
be very satisfactory to voters of
all parties.

Hog supply very good last
week. Demand fair but packers
were more or less bearish in
their bids and trade at times
was dull. Prices rule higher
than week ago with bulk quot
able at SIS. 65 to S.. rs and tops up
to $5.S5. All hogs are now sold
here absolutely on their merits
regardless of the point of origin,
which is expected to be more
satisfactory to all concerned.
The sheep market was quiet
and very little trading done.
The local demand is strong and
prices firm. Good lambs sold up
to $3.50 during the week and
sheared ewes brought $4.60.
Lamb feeders of this state have
adopted an agreement to buy
lambs this fall on the open mar
ket at Denver instead of suffer-
ing the loss Of going out on the
range and contracting them
in aduance as heretofore,
and this movement on their part
is expected to result in an in
creased demand here for feeding
lambs little later when the sea-
son opens.

Borrowed Editorials.

President Taft is likely to have
a familiar sound during the next
four years.
So endeth another third-term
episode, with the example of
Washington still holding good.
Mr.. Bryan will automatically
say it is weak nomination, but
his party is more glum than
ever.
Here's hoping and believing
that the Taft smile that won't
come off will be beaming next
November.
The best thing about Mr..
Taft's Southern contingent is
that he could probably have won
without it.
The East may rhyme Taft
with oft and the West may
rhyme it with aft, but it will
make no difference when the big
majority is counted.
The Denver calamity plank
should not omit the fact that the
estimate of the crops in the
United States this year is So, 0OO,-
600, 900.
Mr.. Bryan was beaten twice
by an Ohio man and will regret
that he is called on to face an
other son of the state that has
proved so unlucky for him.
The third-term stampeders are
out of a job, but had the fun of
shouting for forty-five minutes
over a long cherished purpose,
now faded and gone.

ing springboks in South Africa
next year, he will think of the
cares Of official life at Washing

DEMOCRATIC HISTORY.

The Glenwood Springs plat
form" arraigns the present ad-
ministration for expenditures
of the public money on a scale
of extravaganza hitherto un-
known" They can't remember
even so far back as the last
Democratic administration. Un-
der Orman they had contingent
funds of $341, 500, and spent
nearly all of it. The present ad-
ministration on-including an ap-
preparation for special expense
in printing the biennial reports
had a contingent fund of $50, 500
in all-less than one-fourth of
what it was six years ago; and it
is going to last through. Talk
about extravaganza! And it must
be remembered, too, that the
state has grown wonderfully in
those six years, and there are a
large number of new depart
ments, constituted in response
to the demands of public opinion,
all of which take additional
money to run them. Such lying
as this in the Democratic resolu-
tions is not artistic; it is coarse;
anybody can prove it's falsity.
The Democrats must do better
than this if they expect anybody
to believe anything they put
forth.

Denver Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
June 24.-The changes in the
cattle market last week were
very slight here and good stuff
is about steady with week ago.
The demand for anything desir-
able was very strong and offer
ings were picked up in short
order. Common cattle were dull
and the market lower. Beef
steers sold mostly at $3.50 to
$3.50 but nothing so very good
here and choice kinds would have
brought considerably more mon
ey. A bunch of choice heifers
sold at $3.50 the high price of
the year for this class of stuff,
while best cows brought S5.35.
Good to choice cows sold at $4. rs
to SIS. 25 and the fair to good at
4.25 to $4.75. Common cows,
especially the thin Gamer stuff,
were very slow and dull. There
was very little trading in the
feeder and stocker market and
no material change in conditions
from the close of the preceding
week. Good steers are meeting
with fair demand at pretty close
to steady prices but the tendency
of the common stuff is down.
ward. Good cattle were steady
here today owing to scarcity but
eastern markets are 25 to rs cts.
lower than a week ago and any,
thing like a liberal run here
would probably result in slight
drop.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
TICKET.
For President
WILLIAM H. TAFT
For Vice-President
J. S. SHERMAN
The Platform.
(From the Republican Press Bureau.)


The one thing over which there
was long discussion and even
controversy at Chicago was the
platform. The nomination of
Taft was inevitable; the vice
presidency was conceded to New
York if that state could get to-
gether cordially in behalf of a
candidate; but the PLATFORM,
everybody wanted-and got-a
hand in. The result is, in some
respects, what might have been
expected: the platform is long,
it is not stated as effectively
as perhaps it might have been
by one person, instead of being
hammered out by good many,
as the result of conferences and
discussions; but it sets forth the
principles of the party unequivo-
cally, and outlines clearly the
record of the party on which it
asks again for the suffrages of
the people.
AS was to have been expected,
the platform begins with a hearty
appreciation of the work of the
President and a cordial recogni-
ton of his leadership. 1t men,
tions most of the measures which
have been passed, and approves
the work that has been done,
during his term of Office. Then
it goes on to outline what, in the
opinion of the party, still needs
doing. When the platform is
read with care it shows that the
party is still bound to be pro-
gressive, but that it is not de-
voted to any wild and visionary
schemes, and will command the
confidence and the votes of the
conservative element as opposed
to Mr.. Bryan and his theories.
The platform does not neglect
to point out that if the majority
of the people want the Roosevelt
policies continued, and an ad-
vance made in the regulation and
control of corporations and in
tariff revision and the establish
ment of a new currency system,
they must continue the Republi-
can party in power in all branches
of the government. The election
of a Democratic President and
House would mean a deadlock,
with uneasiness for four years
more.
The Republican national hand
book will soon be printed and
widely distributed, and the vot-
ers may see for themselves what
the party promises, what it has
done and means to do, and judge
