TAFT FOR SANE FOURTH.
The President speaks from Rear
Platform at Cleveland.

Cleveland, July 3.--Arriving here at
7:55 o'clock today on his way to In
dianannlis, President Taft made an
early rise and, speaking On the obser-
vation of a sane Fourth of July. ad-
dressed several thousand people from
the rear platform of his car.
1--WE consult statistics in America
because we believe that they prove
what a great people we are" said the
president ''They are much more use
fuI when they show our defects.
statistics show the terrible loss to
the children in life and limb, because
of an insane and foolish observance of
the national holiday. When we think
of the way in which the Fourth of
July has been observed in the past
and of the. terrible consequences. it
ought to make us blush that we have
not taken means to stop it.

of the country of anxiety by the pass
ing of ordinances forbidding the can
non cracker, the toy pisto, and all
other menaces to childhood"

The day started with temperatures

Ex-Governor E. w Hoch blew in

MRS. REEFS TESTIFlES.
Letter From Bridges to His Daughter
Read at See Trial.

Chicago. July 3.-Mrs. Felice Rees
was the first witness today in the trial
of Evelyn Arthur See, but before she
took the stand, letter from Stephens
Bridges to his daughter Mildred was
read. He upbraided her for leaving
him and referred to See as a villain
and his house as one of shame" to
which the letter said Mildred went
with your mothers sanction and ap
proval."
"As for your mother" the letter
continued, "she never will disgrace me
any longer I know you hold no love
for me. Your love went when that
villain got you in his power and you
think no more of me than a yellow
dog which is not coming to me-"
In the course of the missive Bridges
said:
"I will spend the rest of my life and
every dollar I have in the world but
what 7 will land him (See) in states

ssDiscoveredv by London.
1t has been said that London "dis-
covered two American poets, Joaquin
Miller and "Ironquill."
''Ironquill," Eugene F. Ware, was
certainly read and appreciated at homo
before his rhymes reached England,
but it is also true that there has been
an ever increasing demand for his
volumes of verse in England, and two
London publishing houses now issue
them The first edition of "The
RHYMES of IrOnquill' was published in
1885 by the late T. J. Kellam. The
edition was exhausted within a few
months of it's issue. Book lovers have
since offered many times the original
price for a copy. Then was it shown
that "IronQuill' is appreciated, for TO
one ever availed himself of the offer.
Since then Crane & Co. have issued
nine editions.
An eminent critic in the east has
said: " The Rhymes of Ironquilr are
genuine poetry and a priceless possess
sion to the state of Kansas. A halo of
romance and beauty has been thrown
nv Scott and Burns about the noun
tains and streams OF Caledonia, and
now the brave pioneer state Of abOIi-
tion and its martyr John Brown have
found a singer who will carry their
fame wherever the English language
is spoken"
'TronquilI' is perhaps known best
by his humorous verse. When the
news of the defeat of the Spanish feet
IN Manila bay was flashed across the
country the Kansas poet wrote the
following little bobtailed gushlet." tc

MILLINERS FIGHT LAW.

With Their Trade.

New York, July 3.-The Eastern Mil

day in the United States circuit court
to test the constitutionality of the
amended forest, fish and game law of

iected to forbids the sale after July 1,
Of any plumage specified in the act,
whether imported or not.
The petitioner asks an injunction
against the attorney general and the

plumes, imported before the law went
into effect, are still carried in milliners'
stocks.
