The President Does Not Dignity the
Report That He Would Step Aside
in 1912 For Roosevelt With A De-
NAL, But Lets II Be Understood That
Hie Attitude Has Not chanoed-He
Does Not Know How to Play Politics.
Beverly, n. Y, September 1.-THE
publication of story in certain news
papers purporting to come from Bever
ly and announcing that President Taft
had decided 10 step aside as a presi-
dental candidate in 1902 to make way
for Colonel Roosevelt, brought many
inquiries to the summer capital. For
a time an Official denial was consider
ed, but it was decided not to dignity
the story, which is reported to be
without any foundation whatever,
with a statement
ut can be stated that there has
been no change in President Taft's at
titude toward a second term since he
told number of his friends few
months ago that he would accept a
second nomination if his party desir-
ed to tender it TO him and If that por-
ton of the American people represent
ed by his party seemed to want him" "
The President, it is said, is not con-
sidering his chances for a second term
one way or the other at this time
From the first he has said that he
would devote himself to carrying out
as nearly as possible the pledges OF
the platform on which he was elected
for four-year term. Mr. Taft, it is
pointed out, does not know how to
play politics and he has been quoted
as saying that he would not do SO If
he could.
The fact that he has often in his
speeches referred to the fact that he
has only the remainder of his pres
ent term to serve. it is stated here,
that Mr.. Taft does not feel that he
can nominate himself and that he viii
not make a political bid for the noni-
nation.
If at the end of his term his party
feels he has been true to his trust
and has carried out its pledges IN so
far as he possibly could, it would no
doubt be very gratifying to the Presi-
dent to have his administraii ion in
dorsed. That, he feels, is for the coun-
try and his party to decide, not him
self.
Beverly's busy season is about at an
end. Secretary Morton left to pay a
visit to his family. The President
starts for New Haven and Cincinnati
on Sunday night Mr. Morton will
join the party at New Haven. Alto
gether, the President will be away
from Beverly TWO weeks, returning
here October 2 to remain until the
18th of that month.

who captured many of the prizes at

/sdyeniIe Delinquency.

~ DR.. and Mrs. Orne en- route
around the world in the interest
of INDECENT and ill-treated chill
dren arrived in Franklin on Mon
day. After a careful canvas Of
the condition Of children in Frank
lin and vicinity the Doctor stated
to US, "you have one Of the most
modern and moral cities in Amer
lea, and the carelessness con-
corning the control, care and Gull
ture of children is much less. The
department and discipline of your
public schools are par excellence"
In an interview with Judge O,NieN
and Sheriff Peterman, DR.. Orne
said he satisfied himself they
were the right men in the right
place, as their works had already
demonstrated. Through the cour-
tesy of Tailor Arthur Martel DR..
Orne inspected the Parish prison
and reported everything clean and
comfortable and was we'll pleased
to find so few boarders, which
speaks volumes for our parish.
Dr.. Orne is the father of the child
movement of America, which in
cludes the Juvenile Courts and
Industrial Schools. He and his
worthy wife give all their time
and talents unsolicited and un-
salaried to save boys and girls
from sinful surroundings, lest
they grow up to lines or sin and
shame.
