Leader John Sharp WILLIAMSBURG

Member Could Have Done.
Mr. Cooley makes the charge that
during his ten years term of ser
vice Congressman POu has not ac-
complished anything-that he has
not done the district seventy-fve
cents worth of good, in fact. Those
who have watched Mr.. Pou's course
in Congress and know anything
about his record, be they Democrats
or Republicans, will see the idiocy OF
trying to belittle Mr.. POu's strength
and usefulness in any such manner.
Every intelligent man knows and
every honest man must admit that
his services have not beer barren Of

Cooley falls fiat. Mr.. Pou has been

THAT TAFT RESOLUTION.
Stand Pat Element of Republican
Committee Victorious.

A semblance of life was thrown into
an otherwise dull meeting of the Re
publican county central committee in
Lincoln Post hall on Saturday after
noon when an obscurely worded reso-
luton was introduced declaring oppo-
sition to all candidates not in favor of
the policies of the Taft administration.
This clause was tackled on to a resolu-
ton endorsing the administration and
approving the action of Senator
Charles Curtis and Congressman d. R.
Anthony in supporting it. Dave Null
vane gave the resolution to one of the
committeeman to introduce.
1t had been expected that a Wag-
staff resolution would be tried on the
committee and, while none appeared
the feeling toward the Curtis-Anthony
resolution was that it was effort to put
the Republicans of Shawnee county on
record as being stand patters or insur-
gents On the ground that it was out
side the province of the central COM
mittee to declare any attitude in ref
erence to any candidate of the party,
D. H. Brannaman opposed it. There
was some discussion favorable to the
measure and it was passed by a large
majority. The committee had been
assembled for the routine business of
recommending one judge and one
clerk for service at each precinct at
the primaries. Blanks to be used in
challenging voters were IuIHISHeO
committeeman.
The resolution which was adopted
read as follows:
Whereas, Two years of the adminis-
tration of President Taft have passed
into history; and
Whereas, More henefccnt legislation
of national Importance has been pass
ed by the resent congress under his
wise leadership than ever before;
therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Shawnee county Re-
publican central committee that we
heartily and unqualifedly endorse the
president in his action and recommen-
dations: be it further
Resolved, That we commend the con-
duct of Senator Curtis and Congress
man Anthony in standing with the pres
ident and the Republican majority in
congress as representing the will of the
Republicans of Kansas and hereby de :
clare our opposition to any state or
county candidate not in sympathy with
the national administration.

NEW SALES PLAN UNPOPULAR.
Watch Retailers Protest Against
complete System.

New York, July 1S.-Several whole
sale jewelry companies in the Nader.
Lane district recently have been try
ing to put into effect a new plan of
selling watches, known as the COM
plete watch method. For many wears
retailers have bought watch cases
separately from the works, thus being
able to sell an almost endless variety
of combinations, as a movement could
be put in any one of the dozens of
kinds of cases. Under the new system
retailers must buy cases and works
together.
Already the retailers have begun to
protest against this. Resolutions declar-
ing that the new selling system is I'M
fair to the retail jewellers have been
received from a number of state asso-

tional Association of Retail jewelers.

VoIiva's Followers Cast Silver and Bill:
in Tri- CoIoFed Barrel.

Chicago, July 18.-Silver coins and
bills a foot and a half deep were
thrown into a tri-colored barrel placed
before the pulpit at Zion City taber-

Voliva, general overseer of the Chris
tian Catholic Apostolic church of Zion
and successor to John Alexander
Dowie, who marched over the north
shoe city and took formal possession
of the buildings which last week again
came into their control.

of Dowie. The call for the free will
offering preceded the march about the
city and thousands of men, women
and children fled past the tri-colored
barrel that stood before the pulpit and
cast therein their offerings, ranging
from five cent pieces to twenty dollar
bills.

COURT is TO DEFINE .wANr.v
Thousands of Dollars Depend Upol
New Jersey Ruling.

Newark. n. J., July 1S.-The court
of chancery here has been invoked to
define the verb want" A matter of
many thousand dollars depends on
whether the court agrees with the
definition as given by the executors of
the will of the late William P. Coffin
or with that of the widow. The execu-
tors maintain that the verb in ques-
ton means require while Mrs. Coffin
thinks desire is better synonym.
A clause in the wealthy merchants
will reads:
1.-THE executors shall pay to my
widow during her lifetime such sums
of money as she shall WANT for her
tenance."
Mrs. Coffin insists that she wants
all the money available. The execu-
tors do not think this is the intention
of the will and have refused to give
her more than what they regard as a
comfortable income.

c. Young of Peola, Wash, was re-
ceived the other day by Chief of Po-
lice Maurice Jenkins with the request

to be instrumental in fixing up Topeka

JAMES MCCARTHY DEAD
AT PHOENIX, ARIZONA
Passing of Fitz Mac. Well Known
and Popular Newspaper Man and
Politician of Denver.

News was received in salt Lake yes
terday of the death at Phoenix, Ariz.,
OF James Mccarthy. known among
newspaper men and authors of Utah
and Colorado as "FitZ Mac" Though
the prime OF his neWspa per efforts was
spent at Denver Colo, for many years
acting mana ging editor of the Denver
Times, 'FitZ Mac" had enjoyed a wide
acquaintance among newspaper men in
Utah and other states.
Mae" as he was commonly called,
brought a telling influence upon a

he improved the appearance OF the pa

ONE OFFICE SUFFICIENT
Officials Say It Is Unlikely That a
Land Office VIII BE Estab-
iished at Price.

That with the abolition of the land
office at Vernal. all of the business in
the state OF this character would be
handled through the Salt Lake office is
the declaration Of the officials of the
local land office. They declare that
there is not enough business in the
state TO pay the expenses OF two of
fees, and on that account they say it
is not likely that the government will
establish a land office at Price, Utah.
Considerable fear has been expressed
by local residents, that such a move
would cut this city out of a great
source OF revenue, in that il would take
away much OF the business Of the local
office. Land officials, however, say
that there is absolutely no cause for
worry.
In supporting their claims the local
officials say that the land office has TO
depend entirely on fees for mainte-
nance, that the business is gradually
getting lighter and that within a year
or two the expense of keeping up two
offices would exceed the income. 1t
costs $4,000 at present TO keep up the
two offices of which $4,000 is used TO
maintain the Salt Lake office. To es-
tablish an office at Price. they claim
would necessitate the expenditure of a
large amount TO begin with, and would
mean an expenditure of not less than
s., 900 a year for maintenance.
