In view of the fact that President Hays
has not taken a stand against arbitra-
ton, the feeling here is more hopeful
that Minister Kings persistent efforts to
place the whole controversy before a
board OF arbitration will be successful.
Militia Prevents Outbreaks.
TORONTO, July 23.-An attempt to
ditch a train on the Grand Trunk at
Port Dover was the only disquieting news
from any point in Ontario today A
large timber had been placed across the
rails, but 1t was discovered by the crew
of a yard engine in time to avert a wreck.
The appearance of the militia at Brock
Vile has had the effect of preventing
any further outbreaks. Five of the ring

of the car in which l rode, the thought
came to me with reference to these older
eastern states. The question has been
raised as to what your future is. Have
you attained all the prosperity possible
here? Certainly you all look happy, and
under the constitution the chief right is
the pursuit of happiness. 1t seems to me
that you, as much as any people OF the
republic. are interested in that subject
which has so many definitions-so many
various definitions-the conservation OF
our resources. In the first place, early
in the development of the west everybody
wanted to be a successful farmer, and
went west for the purpose OF finding
rich soil that would grow big crops with
as little cultivation as possible. and tne
Maine man played the largest part in the
development of that western country.
Opportunities for Farmers.
"But now all the rich soil has been taken
up; now we are issuing bonds in order to
put water on the dry soil in the west that
otherwise would not grow crops, and the
thoughts of many of the wisest men in
the country are being turned to the aban-
doned farms of the east, where modern
science in agriculture shows that crops
can be raised if only proper attention and
rules are followed in the cultivation of
the soil.
You have in Maine broad acres of
land that can be awaited of for this pur-
pose. Farmers today are our million
aires and there is no reason why
Maine should not have farmer million
aires as we'll as the west. Nor do l see
any reason why the young men who
come out Of your agricultural schools
should not stay here on the farms of
Maine and raise crops that will make
them comfortable and enable them to
send their children to colleges and
universities and continue their political
and moral influence throughout the
state and the nation"

McPhersons Bond forfeited.

McPherson's bond was forfeited and his
bondsmen and the police started another
search for him. Their efforts were re-
warde6 last night by his arrest in Lans-

perpetrated at Massachusetts avenue and
9Th street, the night of May IL, while
Shaw was changing cars. He had at
tended the Wild West show at 18th
street and Florida avenue northeast, and
was returning home when he was re-
lieved of his pocketbook and it's contents.
The conduct of two men on the west
bound Columbia car attracted the at
tenton of Mr. Shaw. He surmiSed they
were after his pocketbook, but despite
the extra precautions taken by him they
accomplished their purpose.

shouted. taking hold of one of them, and

pointing in the direction Of the fleeing
man.

Presently the second man pulled away
from Shaw, ran and boarded a moving
car and was soon out of sight 1t was
not Shaws intention to give up the
chase however. He thought the two
men would follow the show to Baltimore,
and this opinion was shared by Detec-

The press dispatches state that
President Taft is sick of politics, and
no wonder. Ever since Col. Roose-
welt returned to this country from
abroad, there has been more or less
uncertainty as to his position con-
corning the administration and now
it begins to look as if he is about to
turn his back on the man he made
President. Perhaps he aspires to
become "Warwick" in this country
and make and unmake Presidents at
his will. If so the fate of Roosevelt.
politically speaking, will be the fate
of Warwick, but in the meantime
the colonel is a live force in the
country's political affairs and the
uncertainty of his position. taken
together with the Cannon and
Ballinger matters, and the lnsurgent
movement, is enough to cause Mr..
Taft not only worry and loss Of
sleep, but to render him heartily
sick of the situation in which he
finds himself as the head of his
party. Taft is not a politician; his
ways are not those Of a politician,
and his prestige is being threatened
because of these facts. If he pulls
his party through the present crisis
he will have accomplished a miracle.

TO SOUND SLOGAN
Taft Will Define His Pol
icy in Speech.
IS EASY ON INSURGENTS
Will Reiterate That No Man Can
Read ANY One Out of the Re-
publican Party-Won't Dis
cuss the Tariff

Beverly. Mass. Aug. 22.-President
Taft intends to reiterate his declara-
ton of last winter that neither he nor
any other man has right to read an
other out of the Republican party.
The president believes that no man
can be read out of that party who Is
a Republican. This belief he will set
forth. according to his present plan. in
the letter which he is writing for in
sertion in the Republican campaign
text book.
The presidents definition OF a Re
publican has been one who supported
the party platform pledges.
In this letter and his coming speech
to the conservation congress at St.
Paul early next month the president
probably will define the attitude of the
administration on the questions Of the
day. He isn't expected to reply to ap'
parently inspired statements from Oy'
ster Bay in either the letter or the St.
Paul speech. but it is believed in max
ing his attitude known he will show
the country what his position is and
has been in recent events OF import
ance. 1t is highly probable that he
will show that he hasn't had and does
not have any desire to mix In state
political fights. and that he doesn't
consider that the president Of the
whole country can turn himself into a
party leader in any particular state.
Will Ignore Tariff In Speech.
II was said also that the president
will not dwell at great length on the
benefits of the PayneAldrich tariff
law. II was intimated that Senator
Crane. of Massachusetts; Colonel vii
liam r. Nelson and others close to Mr..
Taft have counseled him recently to
subordinate the tariff as much as pos
sible in his forthcoming utterance
Vice President Sherman on leaving the
Evans cottage showed that he didn't
regard the Payne-Aldrich law as the
best tariff ever.
1t was said that the advisers have
persuaded Mr. Taft not to play loudly
on the tariff string and that he has
consented. The information that the
president will not attempt to read any
one out of the party was taken here as
an indication that further attempt to
conciliate the insurgents before il IS
too late Is to be made.
At a speech in Washington last win.
ter the president defined the way in
which the administration regarded the
insurgents. That same night Attorney
General Wickersham speaking in Chi.
cago. read them out Of the party. Such
a difference Of opinion isn't likely OF
expression simultaneously this fall.
Good Republicans from the insurgent
country have informed the president
lately that. although called insurgent
many Of the middle western congress
men still wish TO be regarded as Re
publicans. The president. 1t Is said. is
in accord with these views and will
say so.
Beverly still maintains quiet as TO
Colonel Roosevelt Any reply the
president will make will probably be
set forth in the speech and his letter
in which his attitude on state politics
will be defined once more.

THE PRIMARY THE SAME
EVERYWHERE.

The Washington Post calls atten-
ton to a fact which is generally
noted in primary elections every
where. and that is that the Republic
can candidate for Governor in Cali
fornia does no. represent majority
of the Republican voters OF that
State. This is one feature
of the primary which has
on many occasions called forth seri-
Gus protest, but though this system
is supposed to bring party nomina-
tons closer to the people than the
old plan, yet the successful candi-
dates still continue in almost every
case to receive only a MI
nority vote, though, of course, a plu-
rality over his opponents. In Cali
fornia, as result Of a bitter primary
fight in the Republican ranks, the
Post says this Republican State is
almost certain to go Democratic, the
Democrats being solidly united on a
candidate nominated unanimously.
If Virginia wasn't so overwhelming
Democratic the candidates of that
party who are forced to engage in
bitter fractional primary contests
would be in very much the same pre-
dicament that the Republican candi-
dates in California are forced to con-
tend with, and this condition will
continue until the primary is either
abandoned or changed from what it
is now. Judging from the contempt
displayed for legalized primary by
the last General Assembly, we Judge
that the primary. as at present con-
stituted, is the best we can expect.
Why not let it drop and save the
party from trouble which is sure to
come?
