GOT VERDICT ii YEARS AGO.
But the Little Girl Has Not Yet
Received Her oMney.

Fourteen years ago New York
street car knocked down and ran
over a little girl three years of age
named Harriet Nugent. One leg
was so badly mangled that it had to
be amputated. A suit for damages
was instituted and verdict of $5,-
900 in favor of the child was return
ed. Then the corporation began a
fight to delay the payment. By hook
and crook the matter has been car
ried along fourteen years, and the
corporation still has the money. But
a referee has been appointed in the
case, and eventually, if she lives long
enough, the girl may get her money.

Washington News
Items Of Interest From Our Cor
respondent, George w.
Summers.

Washington, August %. The
Presidents vetoes of all bills
presented to him for the reduc-
ton of the high tariff duties now
IN force have practically nomi-
mated him for reelection and
made the issue of the next cam
paign SO plain that the campaign
will be simple.
The Republican party can not
fail to renominate William H.
Taft for the Presidency again
without repudiating him and his
administration, now that he has
made the issue so plain. Had he
permitted the bills reducing tar
liz duties to become laws without
his signature, or had they not
been passed, there might have
been doubt as to his renomina-
ton, but now as the champion
of the highest protection this
country has ever known, and
having forced the issue of tariff
reduction upon the two great DO
litical parties, Mr.. Taft is the
logical nominee of his party for
the Presidency and unless the
party would repudiate him and
his record as President the Re
publicans must nominate him
again.
Not only does Mr.. Taft's
course in vetoing the tariff pills
insure his own denomination.
but it makes the issue of the re-
moval of tariff burdens from the
backs of the people the principal
one for the coming campaign.
For years the people have been
crying for relief from the bur-
dens Of tariff taxation. In the
last campaign the cry became SO
persistent that Mr.. Taft had to
construe the Repu blican platform
as promising a downward revi-
= sion Of the tariff and gave his
personal pledge for himself and
his party that this should be
done. But as soon as he was
elected, ne repudiated his prom.
ises, approved the Payne-Aldrict
bill, increasing the tariff duties
although he himself was forcec
to declare that it was not what
had been promised and that it!
