from him strip by strip.
The work would have gone on quietly but for
Tamany's calls for help. This noise was loud
enough to attract Patroman Held. OF the Bed

Held took him to the station house in blanket.

believe / justified in saying that Governor
Hughes has conception of public duty that
would cause him to run for his present office

My impression is that he has driven in a
number of nails that need to be clinched and
that he is the to perform the opera
ton. This does not apply to his anti betting
law alone. but to other laws and changes in our
administrative methods that he has been active
in creating Moreover, this year, I think. the
Republican candidate for Governor in this state
will have much TO do with influencing New
York in the Presidential contest.
Since Governor Hughes has the backing Of
the best element in the state, it seems that he
would be the strongest to represent the
party this year / entirely in accord with
Canon Chase, who recently said that every
clergyman in the state. besides the mems
leagues in the churches. should urge the voters
to work for the denomination of Governor

VII Make Campaign Fund Pub
HcitY Prominent an Speech.

Hot Springs, Va, July 14-Mr. Taft has made
sufficient progress in the task of preparing his
letter of acceptance to be delivered at Cincinnati
on July 2S, to make plain the necessity of de-
voting two three days more to a study of va
rious platforms of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties and speeches and letters of accept
ance covering a good many years before he
undertakes the work of putting his ideas in def
mite form
He has not begun the dctation OF his
speech. Yesterday and to-day. in his work of
determining what he will say at Cincinnati. he
found it necessary to consult papers that had
not been brought here. and he has had to tele-
graph to Washington for additional documents
which will be forwarded to him promptly. He
will probably continue to read and compare
Platforms speeches and letters of acceptance
until next Friday and will devote Friday and
Saturday to debating the speech which. VIII
contain only about thirty-fve hundred words
He prefers to have the entire subject thoroughly
in his mind before debating a single paragraph
Ever since the appointment of George r. Shell
don. of New York, the treasurer Of the ma
tonal committee and the determination TO have
publicity of Republican campaign funds under
the New York law Mr. Taft has daily become
more and more convinced of the wisdom of that
course and it is likely that he will give it con-
siderable prominence in his speech of acceptance
He is bearing in mind that in preparing his let
ter of acceptance he will have several weeks
more time and in it he will treat all these mat
ters at greater length, the letter will COM
prise about fifteen thousand words.

Tostoy refers to the shocking spread of
r-eed among ruffians to obtain money by exc

Awful as are the deeds themselves the moral
and spiritual unseen evil they produce is in
comparably more terrible.

that the revolutionists' crimes stupid and

the government OF doing the thing for the
sane motive. and adds: ''AH the revolutionists
bombings and murders do not come anywhere
near the criminality and stupidity of the deeds

Tolstoy argues at length that both the revolu-
tionists and the Russian government are pursu-
ing the same objects by the same criminal
means and that if there is any difference, ii is
in favor Of the revoiutionists.

Stamford. Conn, July 4-Rose Pastor Stokes,

on a few occasions before he has. that he is truly
most ignorant concerning the principles of the
vital question OF our day.
IF Mr.. Roosevelt wishes to abuse socialism. he
must learn what socialism is. No man has the
moral right TO abuse that which he does not
derstand, any than he has the moral right
to stand for that which he .s ignorant of.
MIR Roosevelt's word. chief gistrate of
the nation often must carry weight. bat there

socialism parity because its opponents unin-
formed and chiefly | believe because there be
