1893, no longer sought, and govern

"The Republican party, at each
period, sounded the public conscience,
felt the national pulse, framed its poll
cies in response and realized in law
the dominant American idea. Its con-
Structive past assures its constructive
future. 1t is today as it always has
been. The Party Fit to Govern
The Party Of Statesmen.
"The party of craftsmanship, it has
been the training school of statesmen.
Its policies have been forged in the
heat of public discussion, tempered in
the deliberation and shaped in the con-
tiict of many trained minds, and drawn
and finally wrought for the country's
welfare. Dominating its members
through principles, it assures unity in
government; its staunchest partisans
nave made the greatest contributions
to national progress. The roster of its
leaders is the national roll of honor of
public service.
"Republicanism stands today for
progressive policies in safe hands, By
solving the constructive problems of
world power in the last two admins
trations, William H. Taft taught the
world our capacity and us his own. In
all constructive legislation for twenty
years James S. Sherman has been a
leader. In the records of the Republi-
can candidates as well is in the plat.
form are written the story of the ma
tons progress and the reliance of the
future.
"a Democratic president or a Demo.
cratic house would turn back those
pages; thereafter Organism would re
cord Destruction. This the Republican
senate could not prevent. Under Taft
and Sherman and Republican con-
gress the great progress of the past
will be held and the greater progress
of the future will be assured"

ENTERTAINS VILLAGERS.
President Roosevelt Proved Himself
an Ideal Host.


an Ideal Host.
President Roosevelt proved himself
the ideal host when he entertained
the residents OF Oyster Bay at his
summer home on Sycamore Hill. Each
one of the 1000 or more persons who
went to see the president was made to
feel that he OIL she had been especially
honored.
For each oe his visitors the presi-
dent had something of particular in
terest to that person to say. If he
was shaking hands with the father Of
a large family the president would in
crease the pressure of his hand; If
he was greeting the mother of large
family he woul1 grow even more en-
thusiastic, and when the children of
the village finally managed to press
through the crowd the president
beamed with pleasure and patted the
youngsters on the back with an affec-
tionate little tap as they filed past him.
Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. w. Emlen
Roosevelt and Mrs. Reeves Merritt as
sisted the president in receiving the
guests. Refreshments, consisting of
punch and ginger snaps, were served
on the lawn, and every one was in
vited to make himself perfectly at
home

Municipal Judge Lantry on Friday as
sessed Michael Slick a boiler maker,
$40 for kissing Miss Emma Otto, 10701
Buffalo avenue, at picnic held at
Lakeside grove on Labor day.
Slick claimed that he was not trying
to live up to his name. He asserted
that he did not believe that girl
really objected to being kissed any
way, and besides he did not kiss Miss
Otto.
"a kiss is not worth the money at
that" said Slick ungallantlS, as he
paid his fine.
Miss Otto, with many bushes, told
how Slick happened to kiss her. She
said she attended a picnic at Lake
side grove on Labor day and when she
got off the train Slick walked up to
her and asked her if she came alone.
She said she had and he asked her If
he could dance with her. The music
proved alluring and the couple were
soon two-stepping. Later Mr.. Slick
grew bolder, escorted Miss Otto home
and at her door implanted rousing
smack on her lips-she asserts-and
was promptly slapped and later ar
rested.

tragical mishap while making two
man flight.
The aeroplanist was accompanied
by Lieutenant Thomas Z. Selfridge OF
the signal corps of the army. Lieuten
ant Selfridge was fatally injured ane
died at $40 o'clock Thursday night.
Mr.. Wright was seriously injured
but is expected to recover. While the
machine was encircling the drill
grounds a propeller blade snapped of
and hitting some other part of the in
tricate mechanism, caused it to over
turn in the air and fall to the ground
enveloping the two occupants in the
debris.
Soldiers and spectators ran across
the field to where the aeroplane had
fallen and assisted in lifting Mr.
Wright and Lieutenant Selfridge from
under the tangled mass Of machinery
rods and shreds of muslin. Mr.. Wright
was conscious and said:
"Oh, hurry and lift the motor"
Lieutenant Selfridge was uncon
scious and had apparently struck the
ground with great force. His head
was covered with blood and he was
choking when the soldiers eXtricatec
him from under the machine.
DR.. Waters, New York physician
was one of the first to reach the spot
and rendered first aid to the injured
men. When their wounds had been
bandaged Mr.. Wrig' and Lieutenant
Selfridge were taken to the Fort MyeT
hospital at the other end of the field.
Mr. Wright had lapsed into state
of semi-consciousness by the time he
reached the hospital while Lieutenant
Selfridge did not regain consciousness
at all. He was suffering from a frac.
ture at the base of the skull.
After hurried surgical examination
it was announced that Mr.. Wright was
not dangerously injured. He is suf
fering from fracture of his left thigh
and several ribs on the right side are
fractured. Both men received deep
cuts about the head Mr.. Wright re-
gained consciousness at the hospital
and dictated cablegram to his
brother at lie Mans, France, and re-
quested that the same message be sent
to his sister and father at Dayton, O.,
assuring them that he was all right.

CLEVELAND'S LAST
WORD TO PARTY
Praised Taft and Called For
Elimination Of BryanjSm.

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. s.

HarrlSDurS, Ia, sept. ..
Pennsylvania Bryanites are greatly
exercised over the publication of
Grover Clevelands last political doc.
ument, in which he forecasted the
election of Judge Taft and recorded
his opinion that the national Democ-
racy will never regain its prestige un.
til Bryanism shall be eliminated.
There is no doubt that these de-
clarations have had far reaching in.
fluence among the conservative ele
ment of the Democracy of the Key
stone State.
The Cleveland article was the first
of series which the late ex-president
intended to write, but which his
death cut short. 1t was copyrighted
by the New York Times after permis.
sion to print it had been obtained
from Frederick S. Hastings, executor
of Mr. Cleveland's estate.
In this article Mr.. Cleveland among
other things said;

of decent men of all parties.

years. His excellence as federal
Judge in Cincinnati is something not
to be underestimated or overemphasiz-
ed, for should he come to the presi
Dental chair the qualities which made
him a judge of high ability, which
know him to have been, will be the
most needful to him as president of
the United States. His high ideals of
honesty and of relative justive, his
great capacity for severe labor and
his humorous wisdom in the face of
the serious problem are attributes
equally valuable and commendatory to
a people, seeking him in whom they

After discussing problems resulting
from national expansion, continuing,
he said:
Has Important Qualifications.
"These questions are fruitful Of
trouble and perturbation, and the pri-
mary requisite of the man or men who
must deal with them is an abundant
knowledge of the people of the outly.
ing domain That Mr. Taft is posses
sed of this knowledge as is no other
man in the country is hardly to be
denied; granted that he has had ex.
traordinary opportunities, he has
shown himself able to improve those
opportunities in a manner which it Is
not extravagant to say will be his
broadcast claim so far to enduring
fame when the acute visual distortion
of the present and opportune shall
have given place to the inexorable per.
spective of history in which the re'a
tive values of public deeds to public
duties are completely clarified and
announced TO posterity."
