GEMS OF LITERATURE.


Look nature through-tis neat grada'
tion all
By what minute degrees her scale
ascends,
Each middle nature joined at each
extreme
To that above it joined-to that be-
meath
Parts into parts reoiprocally shot,
Abhor divorce-What love OF union
reigus -
Here dormant matter waits call to
life
Half life, half death join there-here
lite and sense
There sense from reason steals a
glimmering ray
Reason shines ont in man-But how
preserved,
The chain unbroken upward to the
realms of incorporeal life,
Grant make half mortal, half i'm
mortal
Grant the soul of man immortal or
in man the series ends,
Wide yawns the gap-connection Is
no more,
Checked reason halts-her next step
wants support,
Striving to climb she tumbles from
her scheme,
A scheme analogy pronounced sc
true,
Analogy-Mans surest guide below.
Lo! the poor Indian whose IN.
taught mind
Sees God in clouds or hears him in tht
wind,
Whose soul proud science never
taught to stray
Beyond the solar walk or milky wa,
Yet simple nature to his hope ha
given,
Beyond the cloud topped hills SOM
humble heaven,
Some ssfer world in depths of WOO,
embraced,
Some happier island in the water,
waste,
And thinks admitted to yon equal sky
His faithful dog shall bear him com
psny.

THE LANGUAGE IS MILD.

The language of the anti-injunction plank of the proposed national re- publican platform has been made public. It declares for an amend ment of the statutes of procedure in the general courts ito prevent sum- mary issue of such orders without consideration" That language is more of a modification of the general un- derstanding of the plank than the plank is a proposed modification of the power of the, courts.
 These summary processes have not been supposed hitherto to issue without consideration" so that if only the language of the plank should become effective, the procedure of the courts would not be changed to such an extent that labor unions would notice it in times of strikes and boycotts.
 If that plank is intended as a catch vote it would almost certainly fail lH6 SuDSldHlAdl ment of the democratic platform on the same subject. Whatever the meaning of it it is so weakened by the manner of putting it that it will repel rather than attract union labor.
 It might appear better to preserve silence on subject concerning which the party holds such a varying opinion. This futile bid for votes, supposing it to be a bid, would be much more likely by it's spirit rather than by its letter to alienate votes already republican.
 There are enough great and vital principles upon which the republi- cans of the country can heartily agree, to stand on and battle for cer- tain success next November.

How big is Phoenix" is a fre- quent question which cannot be an- swered with a great deal of definite ness until after the next census. The population is variously estimated at from 15.OO0 to 10000. If the estima- tors were to make a comprehensive circuit of the town and see the build ing going on and the building which has gone on for the last six months, they would revise their figures as pit fully inadequate

ADJUSTMENTS

A big house witnessed the Nor ton Co.'s elegant production of the beautiful bill, Comrades" Miss Summerlin's rendition of the part of Marguerite was a work of art, show ing the lights and shades of the love story that holds the audience from the rise of the curtain to the fall. She is an artist that deserves all the praise that is given her. MT De- Roome in the part of a young artist was rendered as only a man of his ability renders well acted part. Miss Brandt's song, 'The Last Rose of Summer" was well sung. In the part of Jack, MT. Foster was also very good. Mir. White, the opium fiend, was played by the gentleman very elegantly.
 The specialties were all new and good. Taking the show on a whole it was very good.

AN ALMOST CLoUDLEss SKY.

AN ALMOST CLOUDLESS SKY.
 On the eve of the republican na- tional convention there appear only two things which could by any pos sibility defeat the nomination of Sec retary Taft. Both are extremely un- likely to happen and if either were precipitated it is unlikely that it would have the effect of putting any other candidate at the head of the national ticket.
 One of these, the less likely, though the more dangerous if it should mate rialize during the first roll call for nominations, is the third term senti- ment which will exist in the conven- tion. A stampede is always possible, in spite of the elaborate precautions which have been taken against it. To what extent it might go is wholly conjectural but it is certain that it would proceed entirely from within the Taft forces, weakening if it should not destroy them. It is almost cer- tain that if such a movement should start it would prevent a nomination on the first ballot. In the ensuing confusion the most unexpected things might happen, the likeliest of which would be the renomination of Roose- welt. But we believe the danger from this source may be discounted.
 Another thing which may throw the convention into confusion before the balloting begins and produce an align ment quite different from that which is now apparent is the fight which will be made over the platform. In its present form it is supposed to represent exactly the views of MT. Taft who as candidate should be considered in a declaration of prin- ciples. On the other hand the plat form is a criticism of the republi- | can majority in congress which is presumably more closely in touch with republican sentiment in repub-
  be to the aggregate republican senti- ment of the country.
 Thus is laid out the battle ground | for a contest which may be stubborn, ! perhaps a bitter one and even a de- moralizing one if it should be per mitted on the floor of the conven- tion. Many of the delegates bound by allegiance to the secretary as a are also bound by allegiance to the party as represented in the in congress. It would only be known after the convention was over, which tie was the stronger.
 But it is much more probable that this dispute will be settled in &C., cordance with republican convention

practice outside of the convention hall so that the delegates will be called upon only to ratify. an agreement which the leaders have reached, may be after much heartburning but an agreement after all to present a solid front to the enemy.
 Taking all things into consideration no candidate from a ruck of candi- dates ever before seemed so certain of a presidential nomination as does William H. Taft on this morning of the first day of the republican na- tional convention.

With something like 400 federal officeholders in the national conyen- tion there would be imminent dan ger of a stampede but for the bar riers which the national executive committee wisely erected in making up the temporary organization. Though the immortal 400 were select ed and most of them instructed as Taft delegates, they would enjoy a greater sense of security if Mir. Roosevelt were in the White House than if he were in the jungles of South Africa. What are pledges and instructions when offices are at stake?

 The ceremony was performed by Rev. Washington, who after congratulations took his departure and then the as- sembled guests of the newly married couple were treated to the best there is going, either from the kitchen or the wine cellar. Later the bridal party under the escort of R. B. Stevens and Perry Payne enjoyed moonlight ride and picnic, returning to the city after an evening of unalloyed pleasure.

THE DOG oUTLooK.-T

is pretty gloomy at this time from the view point of the average town dog. Tomorrow the dog catcher begins op- erations and up to o'clock yesterday only seventy-one tags had been sold by the tax collector. There will be a lot of dead dogs in this village before the week is over unless William Jen- nings Bryan has lost his cunning, or the friends of the dog interest them selves more vigorously in his welfare. It is announced that the facilities for storing dogs are not good and most likely they will not be kept on suspic- ion over twelve hours, so those who neglect to pay better hunt up Towser at once or prepare to mourn him as lost

To the Editor of The Republican:
 I was greatly amused by reading in yesterdays Republican the arti- cle on donations for the federal building, from the pen of A. Rede- will. In this same vein I would like to suggest the donation of the Noble building by The Republican; and also, since MT. Redewill is so desirous of making others liberalities known, that he make a donation of the four lots west of town, constituting the cemetery. Respectfully, P. V. s.

In summing up We ind that prohibit
ton has been denounced by the abiest
statesmen OF America.
That IT increases the number Of
liquor dealers.
That 1t increases the number Of
deaths from drunkenness.
That It increases the amount Of
crime.
That it stagnates the State aud nre-
vents prosperity and normal growth
in population.
That it brings the law into contempt
and corrupts public servants.
That It deprives the stste of large
revenue without comforting any bene-
fit to OFFSET the loss.
Having started out with the admis-
sion that the present system is de
fective, and having failed to find any
hope or relief by means of prohibt-
ton. the question arises, what is to
be done?
The National Model License Le1sne
suggests solution that should ap-
peal to every well.regulated mind,
The solution is based on knowledge
of human nature. Give Tie retail IL
quor dealer a license free from the In
auence OF politics and make the life
Of a license dependent on the obedi-
ence of the holder to all Of the laws of
society. If the license holder violates
the laws, take away his license by
means Of a law so framel that tie
court has no choice but to suspend the
license upon the retailers first con-
viotion Of any offense and to cancel
1t upon second conviction. Such n
law would make it more profitable to
obey than to disobey the law and the
law would be obeyed. Violation Of the
law is more profitable than obedience
under the present system in many
states, and is far more so under prphi-
bition. Adv.

Utica, N. Y.-Fond of National
Game and an Inveterate
Reader of Fiction.

Utica, N. Y.-"Jim" Sherman, the
Republican candidate for vice-presi-
dent, is very popular here So is his
family He has several brothers and
one OF them, Richard W., finished
second term as mayor of Utica last
January The mayor is a Democrat.
so Is the whole Sherman family ex-
ceptlng Jim. He, too, used to be
Democrat, but in 1876, shortly after
serving as Democratic delegate in
the state convention, he became Re
publican. Ten years later his new
party sent him to congress and he
has been there ever since, except for
the two years 1S91-93, having been one
of the many who were swamped in the
Democratic tidal wave of 1890.
Jim" is chairman of the local Ice
trust and his brother, while mayor,
got after him in warm style, making
sensational charges against the trust.
However, all the Sherman brothers
are the best of friends
Mr.. Sherman came most widely in
national repute when in 1906 he was
chairman of the Republican congress
sional committee in charge of the cam
paign. 1t was in that campaign that
he earned the sobriquet Send Your
Dollar Jim," or dollar Jim," as the
solicitor and recipient of dollar contri
buttons, suggested by President Roose
welt when so much was being said in
criticism of great campaign contribu
tions by corporations.
Sherman had the fight of his career
in that same campaign to retain his
own seat, for there was strong opposi-
tion organized in his district. Samuel
Gompers personally campaigned
against him. Also opposing him were
the anti-organizations Republicans, the
Democrats, united laborites and Inde-
pendence leaguers, besides the candi-
dates of lesser parties, and the cam
paign was active. Sherman's plurality
