WHY MR.. TAFT MUST LEAVE.
The Summer Home He Has Rented al
Beverly.

The refusal of Mrs. Robert d. Ev-
ans, owner of the cottage which Pres
ident Taft has occupied for two sum-
mers, to renew his lease, was not q
surprise to many people OF Beverly.
Mrs Evans is a woman of strong
personality and the honor of having
the president of the United States as
a tenant carried no particular weight
with her compared to her own com
fort and summer enjoyment.
The Globe correspondent was told
that some time after the death of her
husband, a year ago Mrs. Evans stat
ed that this would be the last year
that the president would occupy the
cottage on Woodburys Point. The re
porter's informant added that when
Mr.. Evans let the estate to President
Taft, he did so much against Mrs
Evans wish as she knew then that
the estate would practically become a
public place, and TINT practically all
her own pleasure III Il summer there
would be spoiled As a matter of fact,
her own house next to the cottage
occupied by the president, has been
closed for most of the summer, and
she has been away.
Mrs. Evans has been greatly af-
fected by the death of her husband
ana one of her friends says she is not
like the same woman. She has Wor-
ried a great deal, and has stunned

lLLiTERAcY IN VERMONT.

The census report does not cast
credit upon Vermont for progressive
schools and an intelligent constitu-
ency; and the press of that state is
too honorable to say that the aliens
settled within it's borders are to be
charged with the increase there CT IL
literacy, but say that it must be
charged to the general neglect of the
schools by the people and to the ma
tive white population. This is the
way the st. Adams Messenger pre-
sents the case to its readers:
The responsibility stands upon our
own doorsteps, sits by our own fire
sides. Men and women whose ances-
try came to America in the Mayflow-
er, men and women whose sires or
grandsires were bold and brave and
intelligent enough to forsake the old
countries for a pioneer opportunity in
a new land and made good in it-aII
of us who have been born and reared
amid the bounty of glorious free in
situations that we never half appre-
ciate-we are Responsible
because we take no direct personal
interest in the public schools ourselves,
but farm the job out to few men
and women that make business Of
it, and then deny them enough money
TO do the business As it should be
done;
Because we do not enforce the
truancy laws and see that our neigh
boris child is educated whether he
wants to be or not Notwithstanding
he is one day to be admitted into
partnership in this government with
u vote that will offset our own"

AMERICAN GOODS POPULAR
ABROAD.

The fact that more than half the
exports to foreign ports from this
country the past year were manufac-
tured goods from American shops and
factories shows that the demand for
goods produced in this country is
regularly being increased. In the
eight months ended with August, the
United States exported $1,O27 600 900
worth of goods of which manufac-
lures formed SIS per cent. In the
same months of 1909 exports amount
ed to 1893, 600, 600, and the share cred
tied to manufactures was 4S yer cent.
Two years ago. according to figures
furnished by the bureau of statistics,
manufactures contributed $472, 100000.
out of a total OF $1.075. 900 ,000, or "A
per cent. ten years ago. taking the
figures for the entire year, manufae-
lures formed 35.5 per cent of the ex-
ports; twenty years ago, q per cent.
and thirty years ago, 10 per cent. Most
of the principal manufactured articles
including agricultural Supplements,
cars and carriages, automobiles. rub
Der goods. steel rails, builders hard
ware, machinery of all kinds, type
writer's and manufactures of iron and
steel contributed to the marked gain
in exports in the first eight months
of this year.
The figures show that the share of
exports sent to North American pur-
chasers has increased from As per
cent. in 1890 to 26 per cent. of the
total exports in the first eight months
of the year.

her great pleasures was taking walks
about her estate in the morning, but

walks became practically impossible.

REPUBLICAN, CAUCUS THIS EVE,

The republican caucus TO be held

years ago shall have the honor of be-

SENATOR FORAKER SUSPECTED.

Senator Foraker, who has retired
from politics for the countrys good
is using his slyness now not by taking
left-handed retaining fees, but by do
ing what he can to embarras the
party that used to be proud of him
as a leader The Springfield Repub-
lican makes the following reference
to what is suspected of being his
work at present:
There exists among negro voters a
national independent league which
was organized at the time of the
Brownsville episode and has for its
particular purpose the political pun
ishment of Mr.. Roosevelt and those
associated with him in the wholesale
discharge of the negro soldiers from
the army. Its delegates have just been
holding a convention in Washington
and they have decided to urge all ne
groes to support the democratic tick
cts in Ohio, New York and New Jer-
sey, and do nothing in AIassa chusetts
calculated to help Mr.. Lodge, who has
become offensive simply because he is
q friend of Roosevelt. Senator
Foraker of Ohio is an inspiring in
fIuence back of this league, and the
action of its delegates is supposed in
a manner TO reflect his feelings. He
is not being looked to. at all events,
for active work on behalf OF the re-
publican ticket in Ohio"

PLACE coNDUITs ANY WAY
Kenosha Gas and Electric Co. Announce
Intention to Place Conduits

The Kenosha Gas and Electric Com
Ipany by its general manager, R. n.
Kimball, announced this morning that
regardless of any action that the city
may take in regard to the passage of
the underground wire ordinance that
this company will place conduits under
all streets in the city which may be
permanently improved in the future.
The company has already arranged to
place its conduits under the pavement
of Ashland avenue and if South street
and Elizabeth streets are paved this
year the company will place its con-
duits under these streets for the full
lengths. The company has not stated
that the wires would be placed under
ground at this time, but that the con
duits would be put in so that the com
pany will be in a position to meet any
demand of the city for underground
wires on these streets in the future.
The managers of the company agree
that this is business proposition and
that the company will make money by
laying the conduits before the paving
lis laid rather than being forced to tear
up the pavements at some future time
when it becomes necessary to put in
these duets.

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY.

With this issue the TeIegraph-Cou
enters on its 73rd year making it by
far the oldest paper Of continuous publ
cation in Wisconsin. 1t is a matter of
pride to the publishers that in these
days when SO many weekly publications
are being forced out Of business by the
fierce competition brought into their
fields by improved transportation fac
Mites, the circulation Of the "old TIC. ="
is steadily increasing and that the in
creased circulation has made it possible
tor the publishers to enlarge the paper
and give it's subscribers better value
than ever before. There is every pros
pect that the paper still has a long and
we hope, useful life before it. 1t is
hardly necessary to assure the subscrib-
ers of the paper that the old policy of
making the Telegraph-Courier pre-em-
Inently a home paper will be continued
The editors will strive each week to
give its readers a summary of the not
able events of the great world but their
principal aim will be to cover Kenosha
county thoroughly so that the publica-
tiOn will be complete chronological
record Of the life and work of Kenosha
county people. The paper goes to old
Kenosha county residents or their de-
scendants in every state in the union
and every country in the world and to
these wanderers it must come as a let
ter from Fhome' and be almost as
welcome. Trough long association the
paper has become part of the daily life
of many of the people of the county
and of their friends, old neighbors, and
relatives far away, ind there is no surer
proof of this than it's subscription lists
which show that it has gone to the same
families year after year even unto the
third and fourth generation" 1t is this
loyal and unwavering support that has
enabled the paper to weather the storms
of over seventy years and it is the con-
slant aim of the publishers Of the paper
to merit a continuance of the friendship
and approval of it's subscribers.
