consider too precious to risk at a more

Around the wharves of the Capital
Yacht Club at the foot of 9th street also
lie many of these little daughters of the
river. The boats of this club. which
were formerly almost entirely sailing
yachts, have nearly all either been eX-

BEVERLY, Aug. 12-Certain events
of today. following incidents Of the
past week or so. lead inevitably to the
conclusion that a complete readjust-
ment in circles close to President Taft
is in progress. Senator Nelson W.
Aldrich. of Rhode Island, called to see
the President early today. He found
that Mr.. Taft had not had an opportu.
nifty to read the Senator'S reply to
Senator Bristows charges regarding
the rubber tariff. The President was
gratified, however, that Senator AL
drich had consented to make state
ment. In doing so, it is said that the
Senator from Rhode Island performed
an act which fitted exactly into pro
gram which had been framed by par
ty leaders close to the President.
Although he is not to retire until
March A ,1911, and Senator Aldrich
confirmed to President Taft today hfs
intention to do so, the re-adjustment
plans which plainly are in progress |

Mr. Aldrich may have had with the

Cry Of Treason.
Gov. Patterson thought it no trea-
son to help defeat William Jennings
Bryan, our Democratic nominee for
President in 1896, but when he sees
that the Democrats of Tennessee have
determined to rid the State of polit-
ical usurper and and autocrat, who
has disrupted the Democratic party
and disgraced the State, he cries 'trea-
son. and pirates about the danger to
the state of attempting to restore the
rule Of law and order.
Gov. Patterson has deliberately
chosen his political bed fellows, with
out regard to race, color or previous
political alignments; let him sleep
with them, or lie without sleeping.
There is no politics in a contest
right and wrong.
