HONEST jim ELECTED MAYOR

NEW YORK, Mar, lS-"Honest
jim Riley, the village blacksmith OF
North Pelham one Of New York's
most popular suburbs, was reelected
president of the village yesterday for
the third time by the largest majority
he had ever received. The women
and children OF the village made an
enthusiastic campaign in his favor,
the reason for their activity being
that Riley organized a uniformed
police force and rid the village OF
toughs who formerly congregated on
the street corners and made insulting
remarks to women. They met every
train in North Pelham yesterday and
no commutcr escaped them before he
had been to the polls and cast his
vote. When the result was announc.
ed d great crowd Of people including
many women and girls, marched to
the smithy and cheered Reilly to the
echo
When Reilly was FIRST elected the
village was heavily in debt He has
paid off every cent Of 1t and there Is
a snug balance in the treasury. He
refused to announce a platform or
make any promises, Aristocratic
Pelham has been inclined to scoff at
the unlettered blacksmith but his
sterling honesty, force Of character
and executive ability have been SO
clearly demonstrated that many Of
the wealthy residents lined up for him
ut the polls yesterday
His political success has made no
change in the blacksmith he works at
his anvil every day.

is WOMAN A MARTYR -?
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

Life to most women, says Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps. is a martyrdom.
She specifies.
No person. she says, who has ever
heard the condolences of the sex can re-
call without emotion the confessions of
these women tiled to traditions they
dare not question, broken on the
wheels of drudgery whose iron revolu-
lions crush individual gifts out of the
soul and personal powers out of life"
She says there will be no happier citi-
zen In the heavenly country than these
prisoners OF sex"
Well
There is no denying the fact that the
average woman's life is largely given
to ceaseless drudgery and monotony.
The doing of the same thing, mostly in
the same way, day in and day out, and
getting nowhere comes to be an actual
tragedy
You see
The rooms once swept clean must be
swept again. The dishes that are
washed after breakfast will be dirty
after dinner. Things will not stay
clean. And the victuals that are cooked
for one meal will not suffice for the
next. If only the stuff could be piled
up for installment consumption
But
Come to think of It, the life Of most
&c oIc In @R
cry. They are perhaps not so much
tied up to traditions, but they are
bound to a system that kills, machine
that brushes. Few of them but are
broken more or less by this mental or
physical routine.
Indeed, it is the remark of foreign
observers that American women are
better off than any other women in the
world and that American men are the
hardest worked men in the world.
The difference is here:
Women are more idealistic than men
Drudgery tells on them. The daily
round frets their more delicate nature
There is more poetry in their souls.
1t is difficult for women to get over
the idea that life ought to be all sweet
ness and unalloyed happiness. And
there is so little poetry in peeling pota-
toes!
| Woman needs some outside interest
land there is where the much abused
woman's club comes I'M to save hel
from the nervous tension Of doing one
thing all the time.
And by the same token
SO does the man who lives a life OF
drudgery.

TAFT LEARNS THE NEWS
'eaceful Bill Wears His Smile
at Cincinnati and is SURPRISED

numbers of negroes whose presence
was hailed with JOY by the rally man
ayers as proof of the falsity of the
statements that the negro race was
dissatisfied with the republican ticket.
The event of the morning was a flag
raising on the lawn of the residence
of Charles P. Taft on Pike street,
which was accompanied by appropriate
ceremonies. The crowds that surged
about the Taft home and overran the
lawn and steps threatened almost TO
wreck the house Itself in the general
eagerness to hear the speeches and
see what was going on.
Half past II found the members OF
the notification committee at the Taft
residence in readiness for the real
event of the day. It was after twelve.
however, before the ceremonies began.
The speechmaking was conducted from
a platform erected on the lawn. Sur
rounding it were the members of the
notification committee, the local recep-
ton committee and host of eminent
party leaders gathered from every sec
ton of the country. There were but
two addresses. that of Senator Warner.
as chairman of the committee, and
Judge Tafts speech Of acceptance.
The speech of the nominee was lis
tened to with close attention by the
great crowd that overf1owed the porch,
the yard the sidewalks and perched
itself on the fence posts. telegraph
poles and every other point OF van
tage Several times Judge Taft was
forced to stop by the vociferous cheer
ing and once or twice it was several
minutes before he was able to resume
his remarks.
safe government as opposed to
radicalism formed the keynote of the
Taft speech. Assurances We're given
that the election of Mr.. Taft would
mean that the principles advocated by
Theodore Roosevelt would continue to
be urged until they ultimately become
the law and settled policy Of the
United States. Reduction of the tariff
was advocated. and attention directed
to the plans of the republican party
for the revision of the schedules. The
plans suggested by Mr.. Bryan for con-
trolling railroads and other large COM
binations of capital were attacked as
futile and productive OF no real benefit
to the country at large. other mat
ters touched upon IN the address in
cluded the injunction plank Of the re-
publican platform and the revision OF
the currency laws.
The notification ceremonies were fol-
| lowed by a review OF the marching
clubs, which was the spectacular fea-
ture of the days program. Several
thousand marchers were in line and
numerous bands. The procession was
headed by the famous Blain club. the
members of which, clad in white duck
trousers and blue serge coats. pre-
scented a very natty appearance

Cincinnati. O., July 2s.--Amid the
blare of brass bands, the stirring
martial music and the huzZas OF en-
thusiastic crowds, Judge William H.
Taft was formally notified today of his
nomination for the presidency by the
republican national convention which
was held in Chicago last month. The
rally in point OF numbers and enthu-
siasm far outranked any demonstra-
ton Of like character ever held in
Cincinnati. The event was in every de-
tail a most glorious and gratifying sue
cess.
At an early hour salutes of cannon
were fired from the four hilltops of the
city, which brought the whole popu-
lation to a condition of wakefulness.
All morning great crowds of people
poured into the city from the subur-
ban towns on both sides of the Ohio
river. while every train brought in
large numbers from every city of con-
sequence in Ohio and the neighboring
states.
Cincinnati expected a big crowd and
had prepared to entertain. The en-
tire business porto nof the city was
handsomely decorated with flags, ban
ners and bunting. and presented a gala
appearance. with the arrival of every
train delegates headed by bands pour
ed into the streets and were shown
to the headquarters at the Hotel Sin
ton by members of the active reception
committee. Particular attention was
paid to the members of the notification
committee, the members of which rep
resented every state and territory.
One conspicuous feature of the dem
onstratiOn was the prevalence of Taft
and Sherman badges. Nearly every
one Of the tens of thousands Of people
seen about the streets wore some in
sigma Of his devotion to the republi-
can cause. They were everywhere.
Large parties arrived during the
forenoon from Pittsburg. Louisville and
Indianapolis Columbus sent a dele
cation numbering more than l 900 en-
thusiasts, headed by the famous Buck
eye Republican club. Cleveland. To-
Iedo, Youngstown. Dayton and Canton
were much in evidence. Urbana, Lam
caster. Massillon. Ironton and San
dusky were in evidence, and Hamilton
